The Farmers’ institute held in Grand Rapids Saturday, November 25, was quite well attended consider- ing the condition of the weather and the fact that the institute work is never fully appreciated in a town where: it has not been held before. There were about seventy-five per- sous present at the forenoon session, but there was a codsiderable falling off at the afternoon and evening ses- sions. The institute speakers were Pro- fessor T A Hovestad, Professor Thos. Shaw and A J McGuire. Superin- tendent O C Gregg, who has been in charge of the institute work of the state since its beginning, spoke at the afternoon and evening sessions. The morning session opened with a talk by Professor Hovestad on field and crop management. He pointed out the fact that farming was seldom successful under a one-crop system, for example, the exclusive growing of gtaius; Dut that when cultivated cfops and grass crops were grown in bs apeoeg with the grain crop each crop gave better returns than when this system was not practiced. To get the best returns from the farm he recommended the keeping of live stock and feeding all the hay and for- age grown and disposing of 1t in the form of butter, meat, etc. AJ McGuire spoke on growing feed fordairy cows. He advocated grow- ing-of fodder corn instead of hay, in- asmuch as it yielded from two to three times as much peracre. Roots, he said, could be grown to largely take the place of grain, which is very expensive feed in this part of the state. He said that from twelve to eighteen tons ef roots could be gruwa per acre. He told how the fodder corn and roots should: be planted and cultivated to give the bestereturns. He backed up his advice by giving the record of the dairy herd at the experiment station, showing the protits made from the cows there fed on this kind of feed. Common cows, such as any farmer may keep, were making from seven to nine pounds of butter per week on farm grown feed, with the addition of a Small amount of bran. Professor Shaw spoke on summer pasture. He said that ina timbered district pasture land will bring more profit for the amount of labor ex- pended on it than any other crop. When the timber is removed, cut the brush, burn it, and then seed down, using a spring tooth harrow to cover the grass seed. On land that has'a mixture of hard wood, grass will very readily catch in this way, and in the course of a few years the stumps will have decayed and can be easily re- moved. At the close of the furenoon session the- Institute Annual, a splendid book of 284 pages, was given to each person attending. The afternoon ses- sion was opened with a talk on poul- try by Professor Hovestad. He told how hens could be made to lay in winter nearly as well as in summer. The building of the poultry house was discussed and the feed required for winter use. During the afternoon session Mr. McGuire spoke on the care of the dairy herd, and told how the experi- ment station herd was cared for so as to obtain the profitable results they are getting from the cows. Pro- fessor Shaw spoke on hog raising and emphasized the fact that dairying and hog raising are each most profit- able when carried on together. He told how $200 worth of meat could be raised in a single season without any very great expense. Professor Shaw was of the opinion that hog raising may be successfully conducted in this section of the state without the use of corn. The closing talk of the afternoon was by Superintendent O. C. Gregg. || He spoke on dairying, believing this ectlon of the state is especially d for dairy farming.. He told W. D. Washburn, dr, mite Somat en 201 Guarantee Bid’g; Minneapolis. Minn, of the most inter- » tart C8 “day on: judging cows. AL farmer leaving the ws, and gave” | hall was heard to say that this talk alone was worth going twenty miles to hear. While: the attendance was small much interest was manifested and the institute workers felt that some seed fell on fertile ground and will bring forth fruit. The evening session was intended mostly for the town people, whose business kept them from the day ses- sions.’ The subjects presented were not so much along the lines of agri- culture, but were more in the nature of general edvcation—the importance of training the hand as well as the mind. THE SENSATION WAS SPOILED Atarecent meeting of the village council an auditing committee was appointed to look over and report on the recorder’s and treasurer’s books. The committee consisted of Trustees Wilder, Rassmussen and Becker and Village Attorney Price. The com- mittee submitted thes books to Mr. H. J. Freeman, who is considered an expert. Somehow the Independent learned of this and at once jumped to the conclusion that there were ‘“‘rumors’’ afloat ofa shortage, and so reported. Not un- dertanding the significance of an aud- iting committee and not knowing that it is the duty of such a commit- tee to look over and report on the re- corder’s and treasurer’s books twice a year, the over-zealous and-stupid In- dependent thought it had found a political sensation. When the books have been gone over it is altogether likely that no “shortage” will be reported.

GARDNER IS RETURN- ED TO ITASCA COUNTY FOR TRIAL ARRIVED THANKSGIVING DAY Sheriff Hoolihan Will Haye Charge of Gardner Until Conclusion of An- other Trial Unless Freedom Is Granted on Bail Bond. After serving just eleven months atthe Stillwater state penitentiary ona life sentence for the killing of Ww: Garrison in this county on the 18th day of July, 1904, Joseph H. Gardner was released by order of the supreme court of the state from that. institution and he arrived in Grandi Rapids on Thursday in charge of Sheriff Wm Hoolihan. He eat Thanksgiving’turkey in the Itasca county jail. His term of imprison- ment began on January 1, 1905, and on the 30th day of November, just- eleven months later, he was again. back to Grand Rapids. The case will. not be brought on for trial at this. term of cdurt, as the county attorney” says he is not prepared to take it up. The court will be asked to fix bail for- the prisoner, and if the petition is granted Garduer will find no trouble in furnishing bonds in any sum that- may be fixed, as his friends are many and influential. Gardner is. looking well, under the - circumstances, and took occasion to- speak in high terms of the managee- ment of the Stillwater prison. While ‘| the rules: are necessarily strict, he: says, a man need have no unpleasant.- experiences in living-up to them if he - isso disposed. Gardner was put to - work in the twine factory where he remained until released. Mrs. Gara- ner arrived from Hibbing yesterday - noon. THE HOLIDAY STORE GOODS: All that is necessary to convince: one that the merchants uf Grand Rapids are up-to-date with. their stocks in the various lines is to take astroll about town and see the win- dow display. The person who deems it uecessary to send away to other cities for any of the necessities of life is- mighty hard to please. There is scarcely anything in the mercantile line-that 1s not kept by the mer= chants of Grand Rapids, from the smallest and cheapest toy to the most. expensive garment. And yet, if the amount of money that is yearly sent to Chicago and other cities from this place could be computed, it would be found to represent a small fortune in dollars. Don’t do it. SEASON CLOSED; G. R. CHAMPION The Grand Rapids High School Foot ball team is the acknowledge champions of northeastern Minne- sota. The game last Saturday at Grand Rapids decided the champion-— ship of this section when the Eveleth boys went down to defeat before the Rapids inviciblesjby a score of 10 to 0. This closes the foot ball season in this part of the United States for the season of 1905. A Little School Boy Hero, Roy Long, eleven ycars old, a pu- pilin Miss’ Aiton’s room, in Central school, performed a service to a fel- low pupil on Wednesday morning in a manner and under circumstances thatmade him appear as a hero in the eyes of those who saw the act. Little Bruce McDonald, about seven years, son. of Mr. and Mrs. George McDonald, had _plodded through the drifting and blinding snow to school, and'bis battle against the fierce ele- ments. was almost lost. He reached the school yard gate where he sank exhausted to the walk unable to take another step. ‘The weather was bit- ter cold and the little fellow cried with the-stings of pain that penetrated his tender form. Koy Long was engaged with a broom in hand brushing the snow from a companion when he He in- stantly dropped the broom and run- ning to the little sufferer picked him up tenderly. in his arms and carried him to the primary room to his teacher, Miss Backes. The good Samaritan act was done in a manner that -elicited. many words of praise from,both teachérs and pupils. The McDonald child’ suffered no bad ef- sults’ from his expentence in the bliz- ue p f hae ii
