SUCCESSFUL FARMERS' INSTITUTE Held In Yale on Tuesday of this Week- Three very Interesting Sessions were Oulte Largely Attended. The State Farmers' Institute held in Central Hall, Tuesday, February 13th, has passed into history as one of the most successful ever held here. These institutes are becoming more and more interesting to the farmer each year for he finds by attending them his fund of information is added to and he goes back to his work with renewed vigor. It is hoped that next year we will be favored by another meeting of the State Farmers' Institute. Daniel Foley, president of the Insti tute, called the assembly to order and invited Hev. C. D. Ellis to lead in prayer. 1 he address ol welcome was given n a very pleasing manner by Kev. Jonathan A. Thompson which was re sponded to by Daniel Foley. A drill by thirty-seven little tots! rom the primary department of our public schools was given under the direction of their teachers, Misses Hoy and Her bert. This part of the program was enjoyed very much. "Corn and its improvement was ably handled by C.1I. Alvord of the M. t. C. I he discussion which lollowed led by L. I). It ice, of Fort Huron, brought out many points of value to all interested. This ended the morn ing session. At the afternoon session the attend ance of farmers and their wives show ed the great interest they are taking in these gatherings. Nngmg furnished by the M. L. church quartette opened the program and was a very enjoyable part. J. A. Kapley, ot our own town gave a paper on "I "rof it and Loss in Poultry liaising." Having given this industry much thought and study a great many ideas taken from his experience in Eoultry raising will certainly be of enelit to those keeping poultry on the farm. Mahlon Jk-arss, a breeder of high grade poultry, discussed the ques tion very intelligently and he too fur nished many good ideas from his ex perience. It developed that no one present knew the cost of keeping one hundred hens, but they could tell how much they received from them. "lheCareof Cream and variations in Tests" was thoroughly gone over by H. J j. Durrows, of Port Huron, as also was the subject "Making Money from Milk" given by C. II. Alvord of the M. A. C. On account of T. II. Parkinson hav ing a severe cold it was utterly impos sible for him to take up his topic. Mrs. A. . Carlyle read a paper on "Our Hoys and Girls" which was es- lecially good and contained many pointers for parents. Mrs. Jos. Wil liams also read a paper entitled "The Coming Farmer." This paper was one on which a great deal of time had been spent and everyone in the hall listened to every word of it with rapt attention. lne evening session was attended by a fairly good-sized audience, consider ing that many of those living in the country had returned to their homes. President l oley filled the chair durinsr the opening exercises, but was obliged to leave in time to take the evening train for Port Huron, He left his of fice ably presided over by T. II. Parkinson. Music by the Vale Orchestra was ex cellent and the songs rendered by the choir of the M. K. church very much enjoyed, "(lood Itoads" was the sub ject taken up by Mr, Alvord, of II ills- uaie county, ana his talk seemed to reach the root of the matter. He enter ed a plea for a law which would make road tax payable in money and which would allow it to be expended wherever It was most needed in the township. He made his defense that not only was the farmer Interested in the one road which passed his place, but in all roads from farm to market. As the present law stands, work is often done in road districts where not actually needed and where it is most essential there is not enough road tax to make a poor road good. Mr. Alvord would do away with pathmasters with the exception of four who would be elected in each township by the people, thus the township adopt ing such proposed law would be exempt from taxation from the county road system. A paper was read by Dr. J, H. Stev ens on "The relation of the college to the farm boy," which is certainly a BIG DISCOUNT .

Mathews... most absorbing topic, and the doctor found an appreciative audience. Supt. Kellogg then gave a discourse on the subject "llenelits of education on the farm." This highly important question was discussed under two heads, first the public school education second, the agricultural education. The first is ot the same benefit to the farmer as to those of other occupation, as the larmer, as well as every other man, is, first of all, a man, a citizen and a home maker. the public school should not aim to make farmers, be cause the future lawyers, doctors and merchants are also demanding time and attention. The second, agricultur al education, is beneficial, first because it increases the larmer s enjoyment, enables him to get more from the soil for labor expended and also enables him to improve his farm rather than allow it to deterioate. In closing he said that every line of production might be increased by a better knowl edge of farming. If we would give the farm boy these two kinds of education we would hasten the day when farm ing would be given its true rank among the professions and the man Bight be proud who could say with truth, "I am a farmer." In order to simply get an expression from the people of how they felt in re gard to the matter, the question was put to the audience, "how many would like to have the institute held here next year?" The response was unanimous. xo'i i:s. Concerning fruit trees, L. 15. It ice gave it as his opinion that in this locality peach trees had not been in jured by weather changes of the win ter, that he had failed to find a single bud destroyed, but around Capac he had found three out of every live in jured. As it was forgotten to bring the mat ter of a vote of thanks before the in stitute, T. II. Parkinson has requested The Expositor to kindly thank the Yale Orchestra for the line music fur nished, also the M. E. church choir and all who took part in the exercises, thereby making the institute the suc cess it was, and thanks are also due the business men and citizens for their liberality in donating funds for defray ing expenses. THE SINGLE DOZEN. On yednesday evening the Single Dozen and their gentlemen friends were pleasantly entertained at the home of Miss Maude Pearce, on Jones St., by that estimable hostess and Miss Isia Evans. Cause of meeting low standing the gentlemen have averaged of late in Cupid's Arts, all being below seventy live per cent with no prospects of a gain. Accordingly they were assembled at 8 o'clock in the handsomely decorat ed parlor and assigned envelopes, along with the ladies, which contained direc tions how to make a suitable match for life. After much searching each one found their cozy corner and part ner, when I. I. Evans, professor of Proposalosophy, gave a neat introduc tory address on how to propose, giving botli sexes much good advice in the art of matchmaking, afterwards giving the occupants of the twelve cozy corners a chance to make an open proposal. Miss Ina Palmer was accented after te line him what he had to do, and won first lArize, a sterling silver hat pin. Richard Teahan captured the lady and second prize, a line comb and case. Sir Cupid, Instructor in Spoonology, was next in order. 1 1 is servants were two Little Cupids, Etha Heatty and Nathalie Knapp who served, first, spoons for each couple tied together with ribbon, then cocoa, sandwiches cut heart shape, chocolate nut ice cream and wafers, waiting on the twelve with ''smiles that wouldnt wear off." Cupid's Art (lallery was next and a contest was waged the result being Miss Mabelle Herbert became the possessor of a line box of bon bons. The fortunes fastened to a hoop from the ceiling created much excitement, There were twelve red and twelve white bags hanging from this hoop, the girls choosing white and the boys red. Much merriment prevailed when the bags were opened, the verses read and prizes exposed. After 6inging by the Single Dozen quartette and congratula tions nelng extended the Misses Pearce and Evans for the success achieved both in decorations and entertainment, the happy crowd departed to await with expectancy tho next social function.
