Citizen The FARMERS' INSTITUTE Meetings Not Very Largely Attended -The Addresses Instructive and Interesting. The Farmers' Institute held in Morrisville last Friday afternoon and evening, under the direction of Orlando L.

Martin of Plainfield, State Commissioner of Agriculture, gave the farmers in this vicinity a fine opportunity to get in touch with new and modern ideas, and the large majority that did not avail themselves of the privilege. were the losers, as the sessions were both highly interesting and instructive. While the attendance was not large at either meeting, the farming interests of the town were well represent ed and much interest was shown in the questions discussed. The first speaker at the afternoon session was Prof. J.

W. Sanborn of Gilmantown, N. whose subject was "Home Mixing of Chemicals." While he did not give the practical information expected by many, which the subject would suggest, his talk was interesting and helpful in a general way. He was followed by Lowell Roudebush of New Richmond, Iowa, who spoke entertainingly and instructively upon Our Fruit Industry." He said Vermont had been and still is asleep to her great advantages as a fruit growing section and urged his hearers to give more attention to this industry, which could be made more profitable. He was followed by C.

Thomas of the Ohio Institute Board, who discussed in a practical and interesting manner the question of "Improving Our Corn Crop." Mr. Thomas spoke from practical experience of the importance of selecting the proper kind of seed corn and said that he believed the farmers made a great mistake in not raising more grain for "home consumption," Following Mr. Thomas, Mr. Roudebush was again called upon and made some pointed remarks regarding the "Poultry Industry," and while his talk was in a humorous vein, which took well with the audience, he gave some valuable information upon the subject. In the evening the speakers were E.

S. Brigham of St. Albans, who spoke upon Potatoes as a Money Crop," and A. F. Hawse, State Forester, who spoke upou Vermont Forestry." Both were handled instructively and interestingly, the speakers holding the close attention of the audience.

Mr. Brigham's remarks brought out ideas, which if applied to the planting and caring for the potato crop, would no doubt greatly increase the value of potato growing, which is undoubtedly given too little thought by the average farmer. The talk by Mr. Hawse Was a sound argument in favor of the subject which is gaining daily in importance in Vermont. The Commandery Reception The Lamoille Commandery Reception at Hotel Phonix, Hyde Park, last night was largely attended, over two hundred, or, to be exact, 102 couples, being present.

Besides representation from various parts of the county Hardwick, Montpelier and other places had representation. The railroad very courteously provided a special train which carried parties east in the early morning hours. This was the first event of the kind ever undertaken by the Commandery and it has every reason to feel gratified over the success of the affair--everything passing off pleasantly and smoothly. For this great credit is due the General Committee, who were zealous that nothing should be left undone to make it a record event. The affair opened with a reception at 8.30, when a delegation of Commandery officers with their wives, headed by Eminent Commander Barrows and wife, with Hon.

and Mrs. C. H. Stearns, Rev. and Mrs.

Raspe and Hon. F. G. Fleetwood as guests of honor, in the receiving line. This occupied about half an hour, after which the Montpelier Military Band Orchestra gave a delightful concert and Herman D.

Hopkins two recitations in his usual good style. This was followed by the grand march, the forty Sir Knights in their brilliant uniforms and the ladies in prettv gowns making a handsome appearance in the hall, which had been appropriately decorated by that Adams. Dancing followed this and in the parlor readings and singing were given by Mr. Hopkins. As a reader he is first-class and he has few equals as a baritone singer.

The first supper was served at 10.30 and it was a banquet well worthy of the occasion. Miss Zita Towne assisted in making this part of the affair a success. The reception continued until well towards morning, when ended one of the most successful entertainments of the kind ever held in this vicinity. The Commandery are under great obligations to the many who assisted in making the affair a success and to Landlord Robbing for his generous hospitality. Letters of regret were received from ator Page, Gov.

Prouty. Grand Commander Dewey and others. Meeting of Civil Authority Board The Board of Civil Authority will meet at the Town Clerk's office on Saturday, Jan. 22, at 9 o'clock, a. for the pose of abating taxes and to do any other business.

Osgood of Claremont, N. who claims the "championship of New England as layer of This man is 51 years old and claims that in eighteen years he has laid 10,312,750 shingles, an average of 74,000 a year, and used up 412 kegs of nails. Well, this is quite a record, but we guess the Globe hasn't heard of Earl Moore of this town. Earl is about the same age of this so-called champion, but he has laid in that time 11,492,697 shingles and they have been laid as they ought to be and he has used 478 kegs of nails, every single nail being driven into shingles and not thrown on the ground. Oh nc, Mr.

Osgood, you may be some on shingles down in New Hampshire, but when it comes to taking in Vermont you are not in it alongside of Earl Moore. For verification of these figures we refer to Amos Davis or Oscar Campbell, who cannot be excelled as ready reckoners when it comes to counting up the grand total of shingles that Earl has put to the weather..
