Most excellent interest was sustained during two days and an evening, large audiences being present and many farmers participating.- Much interest was manifested in the discussion of the various topics. Theso were: Wastefulness and negligence the primary cause of a farmer's failure, by Mortimer Levering, Lafayette. Dairy farming, by John B Conner, of Indiana Fabmbb. Clover as a fertilizer, by Prof. Latta, of Pardue University. Irrigation and drainage, by John T. Campbell, Rockville.

Transportation,Hon. Aaron Jones,South Bend. Tests for soundness, Prof. Hlnelaugh, Professor Veterinary, Purdue University. The general expression was strongly in favor of continuing these institutes next season. DEI-AWAKE COUNTY. F. J. Claypool, of Muncie, president of the Delaware County Horticultural Society, sends ns the printed program of their summer meetings, which will be held at the houses of different members. He writes us: The Farmers' Institute held in Muncie, the 5th and 6th of February, has put a new life into Agricultural, Horticultural and Stook breeding societies in this county, and the attendance and interest now being taken in these societies is greater than ever before. We wonld be very glad to have the Indiana Fabmeb represented at one of our meetings. V ' '■ '' JOHNSON COUNTY. .» • The Johnson Connty Instituto went off according to the program as published in our last number. S. W. Dungan, who had the meetings in charge exerted himself energetically to make them successful, and had the pleasure of seeing the fine court room well filled at two of the sessions at least. The anxiety of the farmers to improve the fiae weather in sowing their oats, accounted for the absence of a large number who would have been present otherwise. Very fine weath er is even more detrimental to institutes than very unpleasant weather and bad roads. We were present during the morning and afternoon sessions of Saturday, and heard the discussions on Corn culture, The fence problem, How to keep the boys and girls on the farm, eto. On the first topic Mr. Clore, the essayist, said that white corn sells for two cents more in the market, but yellow corn feeds two cents better. He showed a variety that he has been cultivating for many years. It is early. He plants about the flrst of May and has roasting ears by the 15 th of July. He selects seed early in the fall, keeps it dry, then re selects the very best and plants in the best ground he has, and goes there for seed the next year. He breaks his ground in tbe fall and in the spring pulverizes it with the harrow. He plants when the apple trees begin to turn green. Begins cultivating before the corn is np, using a spring tooth harrow. He uses three small plows between the rows, and plows shallow from first to last, More corn is injured by plowing after harvest than Is benefited. Plants with a check row oorn planter. Prof. Stockbridge said he preferred a drill. Plants four to six Inches in the row, and thins ont one-third or more during the summer and feeds to cows. Thia plan is adapted to small fields. He spoke very highly in praise of corn fodder as a valuable food for all kinds of stock. Said it was worth two-thirds as mnch as timothy. . Messrs. Pendleton, Tilson, Polk and Detmars continued the discussion. A question being asked at the close of the discussion what is the average yield of corn per acre for the last 10.years, Mr. Clore said be thought his was 60 bn.; Mr. Pendleton, 45; Mr. Detmares, 40 to 45. Mr. Polk grows only sweet oorn for canning purposes. On the fence question, Mr. W. H. Dungan said the cost of making new fences and keeping up repairs on old ones in this State is not less than $6,000,000 each year. The material for fences hereafter must be iron or steel, possibly alluminum. Plain, smooth,steel wire No. 7, properly annealed and with proper tension, he regards as the best material. " Mr. Datmares would prefer oak rails at $10 a hundred if they could be had. He had such a fence 30 years old and most of the rails are good yet, but as such rails . cannot be had the wire and picket or the - large smooth wire must be used. Mr. Clore said he had fence posts set top end down which had staid 20 yeara and were good yet. Mr. Vennuys gave similar experience, many years ago he had set some sawed posts for a fence, one-half the posts were ' set top end down and the others the reverse. The latter were all rotten but the former were still sound. Mr. Brown said we have too many fences. The stock law should be made so as to require stcck to be kept in, rather than kept out. Then much less fence would be required. Mr. Pendleton made some interesting remarks on the mode of cultivating more fruit on the farm, and expressed the hope that the day of hog and hominy was nearly past, and the time was near when more fiuiji, and vegetable iood would be found on the farmer's table. At the afternoon session talks on keeping the boys and girls on the farm, were made by J. G. Kingsbury, of this paper; by Prof. Hougham, formerly of Franklin but at present residing in Kansas; Prof. Hall of the college. Mr. Dangan's essay on the Rural home, and an interesting account of early days in Iodiana by Judge D. D. Banta of Franklin followed. In the evening Mrs. Ewing of Pardue University lectured on our kitchen interests. Dr. Soott of Franklin College spoke on the esthetics of the farm. SCOTT COUNTY. We thought the Institute season was over for the present, bnt here just before going to press comes the program ofthe Soott County Institute to b9 held at Scotte- burg on Thursday and Friday the 21st and 22d on which we find tbe names of Prof. Latta, J. J. W. Billingsley, Mrs. W. W. Stevens, Prof. W. M. Whitson, W. W. Stevens, Pres. J. H. Smart, Prof. Wayne Cook, Mrs. Emma P. Ewing and J. G. Kingsbury, are expected to be present and read papers. This we presume will be the last of these gatherings until November. Daring next year it is expected, with the aid of the $5,000 appropriated for the purpose by the Legislature, to hold an Institute in each county in the State. , OIKLS' SAT AT PERU. The officers of the Miami County Farmers' Institute, have decided to hold an Institute at Peru, Ind., on the 6.h of April for the farmers'girls exclusively. As this is the last meeting to be held there until next October, they expect to make this a grand gala day. The session will begin at 10:30 a. m., and will be addressed by our Mr. J. B. Conner, on the Dairy pursuits'of our farmers' girls, and the afternoon session will be devoted to an address by Mrs. Ewing, of Pardue University on Bread making. The Singer Sawing Machine Co. will present one of their superior sewing machines to the township sanding the largest delegation of girls, they will also exhibit fancy work as done on the Singer machines. The managers expect an atten- anoe of fully 1,500 young ladies. A. much* needed rain fell in this vicinity on Monday and Monday night. Cisterns had begun to go dry and some wells to fail.
