The meeting of the Farmers' Institute of McHenry county, held at Hebron, Jan. 11 and 12. via a successful and in­ structive convention. Considering the bad roads, quite a number from other towns were present The afternoon and evening sessions were more largely at­ tended than the morning sessions. The officers of the institute spared no pains in making this meeting truly instruc­ tive and entertaining?

Greenwood. Invocation by Rev. S, L. McAmis, of Hebron Presbyterian church. Address of welcome by L. A. Nichols, president of Hebron village board. Response by M, Long, president Of the institute. The first topic was "Mixed Farming," by B. A Thomas of Orreenwood, fol­ lowed by discussion by Mr. Long and Mr. Howell. Mr. Thomas showed that mixed farming could be made very profitable, and gave a few items of great interest on the way in which he and his brother Gecfcge conducted their farm. The president appointed committees as follows: Nominating eommittee---G. W. Conn, Jr., J. H. Turner and F. E. Thayer. Committee on resolutions--George A. Hunt G. W. Conn, Jr., B A Thomas. Adjourned until 1:30 p. m. FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Meeting called to order by President Lomr, Opening song, led by H. M. Turner, tn which all joined in singing, as re­ quested by Mr. Turner, which shows with what spirit a farmer goes at any­ thing if only he has someone to lead him. The topic, "Weeds and How to De­ stroy Them," was then discussed by George Hunt, H. E. Howell, F. E. Thay­ er, Mr. Thacher, Bert Thomas and Mr. Long. The discussion was ^§ry good, showing that the participants know how to destrdy weeds even if they do not destroy them. Canada thistle, bur­ dock, yellow dock, yarrow and velvet weed were the weeds most discussed. Bert Thomas suggesetd that the farm* ers pay particular attention to quack grass, and told how he and his brother had killed four acres in five years. Mr. Howell's idea of killing weeds was sim­ ply to get there all tbe time, and re­ ceived much applause. Instrumental music by Miss Hasel Wester man of Greenwood waa received with applause. The topic, "Corn Selecting, Storing and Testing Seed Corn; Methods of Corn Production," came next. George Hunt, H E. Howell, Mr. Thacher of LaSalle county and many others took part in the discussion, which showed that fanners are too negligent in select­ ing seed corn. There being no corn on exhibition, the corn question was not considered as it should have been, as it is our principal crop and we ought to endeavor to bring our best crop up to a standard not td be surpassed by any. The afternoon session closed with a short talk by G. W. Conn, Jr. # FRIDAY EVENING. This session waa devoted to domestic science and -was called to order at 8 o'clock by President Long. The program opened with a clarinet solo by E. F. Stratton of Hebron, fol­ lowed by a vocal solo by Miss Bessie Stone of Nunda; reading by Miss Ida Rhodes of Woodstock; solo by Miss Mable Allen of Greenwood; inatrumen tal music by Miss Haasel Westerman of Greenwood, who was forced to respond to an encore; and a song by tbe Hgbron male quartet, whojlso responded to an encore. An address was then given by Mrs. M. E. Bangs of Springfield, her subject being "Homes of Illinois." Mrs. Bangs is a very able speaker, and those who have heard her endorse her as such. She certainly gave a very good talk and her discourse was enjoyed by all. If we all tried to live as Mrs. Bangs instruct­ ed us. what a happy home circle we would have. The evening session dosed w|t$i clarinet solo by E. F. Stratton. SATURDAY MORNING. Meeting <^lled to order at President Long. Prof. W. J. Fraser, of the University of Illinois, Urbana, presented the sub­ ject "Importance of the Efficiency of a Dairy." Prof. Fraser is one who knows of that which he is speaking.
