June 17th, 1907, the death angel
came to the home of Mr, William
Cash and claimed for its victim
the spirit of little Wilma, the two
years old darling, and much be

departure, a tie that binds them
closer to Him who doth all things
well and that Heaven is sweeter
because Wilma is there.

main up longer and went to his
bed. Since that time he has

known and so stated that he
could not recover. Day by day

Farmers Institute at (be County Home.
As long as the average yield
for the state' remains below fif
teen bushels per acre it is certain
that the average man still has
much to learn about growing corn
and it is probable that the best
corn grower can also learn some
thing and still improve his meth
ods.' j . ,
The purpose of the farmers' in
stitute to be held at the county
home, Saturday, July 20, 1907, is
to discuss just such questions re
lating to corn culture and similar
questions about all other crops
and farming operations. If farm
ers of the county will come out
and discuss such questions with
a view of increasing their knowl
edge and improving their farm
ing this institute may be of un
told value to the county.
, OMANS INSTITUTE.
Those not familiar with the
purposes of the institute being
held by our State Department of ;
Agriculture for the benefit of
the women in the farm homes
may ' be interested in knowing
something of the class of subjects
discussed at the County Home,
Saturday, July 20th, 1907. Any
or all of the following may be
discussed if those present desire:
The Farm Fruit Garden. The
Farm Vegetable Garden. Farm
Poultry. Farm Butter Making.
Beautifying the HomeJSjarrpund
ings. Home' Conveniences.
Literature for the Farm Home.
j Home Making. Home Nursing.
Cooking Meats, Vegetables, etc.
Bread Making. Educating the
Girls on the Farm. '
These are a fair sample of the
questions that may be discussed
at these women's institutes; and
surely they are practical subjects
and an intelligent discussion of
them cannot fail to be of much
benefit to those who attend.' If
sufficient interest is manifested
by the women of this county in
these institutes it is the purpose
of the Department of Agricul
ture to make them regular fea
tures of the annual Farmer's
Institute for this county. It will
tenefit every woman, in the
county to .attend this institute.
She may hear facts that will be
of value to her in her work, but
if she does not she wilt still be
benefitted just the same, for she
needs the day's outing. We hope
there will be a large attendance
at this institute.
