Farmer' Institute.
Tho Farmers Institute at South Haven
last week was a decided sncecss. We should
be pleased to give a fall report of the pro
ceedings, but the limited space at our com
mand will not permit It. We condense tho
following figures relative to the far famed
"fruit belt," oonftistir.3 cf Van Pzrtn, Alle
gxn and Perrien cousUcs, from aa tbb and
exhaustive report made by Hon. C. J. lion-'
roe Parrels of apples shipped,- 416,688;

garden products shipped, $137,893. Grand
total, Sl,)01,JX).07. This does not include
the vast quantity of fruit consumed in the
three counties, whether freh or otherwise.
The total value of the wheat crop of the same
counties, which has been considered their
principal production, was $131,416.83 lesit
than the value of the apple crop alone. The
total acreage of the three counties is 1,284
G.15; acres in orchards, vineyards and market
gardens, 63,000 or about one-twentieth of
the entire area. There is still room for a
vast expansion of the fruit business and still
a market at Chicago and other western cities)
for all the fruit that can bo raised by our
fruit growers. The statement is an astonish'
log one, but is likely to be under rather than
in excess of the entire production. Mr.
Monroe is entitled to much credit for tho
showing made, which has cost him a good
deal of labor and time and some money but,
like all that he undertakes, it was done well.

A Kentucky soldier wrote to our agent that
his regiment, the 41st Ky., had never been
mustered out of service and asking if he
couldn't get his pay while so serving Uncle

At one of our lyceums not long since,
during a discussion of the question of pen
sioning all Union soldiers, a young disciple
of Cicero said: " Now it seems to me that
all talk of such a law is foolishness here in
Michigan. If Chas. E. Galligan and his pen

ex-soldier in the state will get a pension
anyway.' we ininn so too.

Galligan's agency for a pension by reason of
sunstroke. After examination, his case was
rejected. An appeal was taken by tho agent
to the secretary of tho interior and the de

up and all that could be done was dono. A
new examination resulted in the allowance
of hia claim on the c round of fits. The
commissioner fixed the agent s jee at sso--
