The institute was opened by a quartette consisting of Messrs Sanderson, McCown and Karili and Frank Bull. This- was followed by an address by Mr. E Trumbo, in which he spoke of the mental development of the fanner, Ho urged the farmer to read but to think more and to learn to express his thoughts 'on paper.

Mclb rnmn, of Belma, on “Corn, its Culture and Disposal.” The speaker 1»ega» his paper by dition a drought will not hurt much. The disposal of the crop is si most ser­ ious question. Of course it is best to feed it on the farm, but what to feed and how to feed are questions Which might be answered with difficulty. Different tanners will answer this question iq a different way, The paper was intently interesting all the way through • and , the abovo is only un outline. - A t this sessiou.a petition’ was cir­ culated askiug the state legislature to topnBS a bill, authorizing overhead bridges to be erected at dangerous crossings.

Thrce-foUrths of the sweepstake prizes at the Ohio State Fair in 1808 were taken by Greene county breeders. The speaker stated that there was no. more mis­ leading business than this .business.- People hear of the- high priced stock sold but they never hear of the num­ ber sent to the butcher. To produce a gmwj hreedor, -Maying qualities arc necessary. The eastern states are more able now to compete with the west than over before. Many of the ranges have been plowed up. He compared the prices of seventy years ago when ca,tt)c sold at one cent per lb. He closed With the statement that all cattle in his town could be doubled in five years if their owner knew the value of blood.

The last address ot tho institute COGITATIONS The FightingCocks andthe Engle—AStory WMhnMoral. Once there: were two game cocks thn£ wero continually fighting for the mastery of the barn yard, the winner, of course, to wear the championship 'belt.- , ’if Every little1while they would get into a discussion through the news­ papers, and kept up a continual scrapping thwntgh the public prints Until people^became disgusted nnd wondered if. they were game cocks, typewriters or just ordinary, big, beety, drunken prize fighters, who were better at heating their wives than at fighting wffh the other. This last whs the blow that almost killed father. Indeed, it was more tlinu a self respecting rooster could stand, so they went into training and Stopped drinking branch water aud bad booze for as .much ns six weeks. The trial was. something terrible to roosters who had been used- to their drinks more regularly than their prayers, Bui even if it wiis tough, they wouldn’t stand for tho common plug prize fighters who get their pictures into the PoliceGazette. They did’nt pdnd being called type writers and bluffers apd wind bags, bun being told that they wore prize fighteis who were trying to, got up a reputation with tile iiiteliiiou of going .on the stage' they got1ii;i<! and coududcd to do business, As already stated; they put them­ selves on fighting diet mid trained every day.- They took long walks nnd ate raw worms that they should have given their wives and ran toot races with their trainers aud in every way conducted thcmselzcs as became modern pugulists. The sporting col­ umns were filled every day with ac­ counts of how their. muscles were toughening until they were almost afraid they would have a' call to serve as spring chicken at the boarding house. But they never got tough enough for that. They had their pictures taken every day nud acted as much like .the prize fighters we read about as possible withoutgrounds for the presuraptiou that they were mere scrub pugs 5MoUeywas bet on the result of the fight and when everytiling was in readiness, the fight came off and it Was a gre it light, The country towns ail got tho returns jro:n tho fight and much money was spent to get the returns early, by people v.!n> da not blow in much on ehmv'.^» and things of that cliaractfr. Tho nest day papers were full of explanation^ uy tho winner bow ho canto to uni, and by the laser, telling how it felt to he knocked out. All would have been settled now if the winner had hcen content to leave well enough alone, but ho wouldn’t do that. Ho was toomuch like other people, so ho had to go out with fho bays and howl up, llo lost what little eensa ho had loft and flying up on a high wall, ho crowded loudly and flapping hi* wing?, said ho could liek tho whole township. Just then an caglo came Failing through tho air PUBLIC SALE.
