FARMKRS' INSTITUTE MEBTIliO.
Special Correspondence From Wco
.. and Sherman. "
Wasco, May '12. The afternoon sea-
ion of the Farmer's Institute opened
with a musical selection by the choir,
after which a - paper, composed for the
occasion by Wallls Nash, was read by
Professor French, on the subject of
industrial ' education. ;" Reference . was
made to the - Change . that . has taken
place in the .acquisition of technical
education, since the times of the- old
guilds and. their apprentice-; systems,
men applying for work in any of the
trades are no longer asked "where do
you come from and where were you" ap
prenticed?" As a result we have a
superabundance of merely "handy men",
whose knowledge is superficial. The
state argricultural college "aims to make
thoroughly accomplished farmers, and
farmers' wives, of the boys and girls
under our care. Our education' Is con
ducted on the kindergarten principle.
We combine the scientific with the prac-
' tical. We have 200 students from every
county in the state and we aim to imbue'
every one of them with' the 'idea that
labor is dignified and honorable. One
hour a day is devoted to practical work.
Boys are taught to work at the bench, at
the anvil, in .the field, in the orchard, in
the labratory. Onr boys" are trained
how to make a draught of any
.piece of mechanical work as well
as how to do the work" itself.
- They are instr ucted in the chemical con
stituents of soils, and the kind of food
adapted to each species of plant life.
They are given practical as well as theo
retical instruction in horticulture,, flori
culture, pomology: and': every,: other
branch of farm work. Theyare taught
the character and habits of the pests of
... the farm and orchard,' and the most
. approved' methods of exterminating
them. One third of the students are
girls, they too are instructed" in
- horticulture, in the care and cultivation
of flowers and fruits as well as in house
hold science, how to cook, boil and stew
meats and vegetables, how to make pud
dings, jams, jellies, etc., how to
sew, patch, darn, plan and cut garments
and do all kinds of fancy - work, . These
are the aims and objects' of "our college
work,-and they have been abundantly
successful in turning out young men-and
women equipped 'with '-all ";' necessary
knowledge' for ' starting life as accom
plished farmers, and farmers' wives,
. imbued with a love of farm life they are
never likely to loose in after years.
Mrs. L. Canfield followed with a very
able paper . on Odds and Ends. , The
. numerous "leaks" on the - farm were
pointed out in a very interesting man
ner, and the dignity and nobility, of
farm work insisted on. "She is a true
lady'? aaid" Mrs. Canfield', who is fitted
to go from the milking stool to the draw
ing-room and piano, and be at home in
either place. Had I a score of daughters
I would teach every one them to milk,
and had I a score of sons I would teach
every-on of them to cook. and bake
bread." The paper, as a whole, was
deeply interesting for its caustic, in
cisive and somewhat radical thought
and words. It was finely composed and
well received. Mrs. Canfield had urged
the importance of good reading matter
in the farmers' homes, especially good
newspapers, " and the institute, taking
; vp tne cue, discussed this point .at 'con
siderable length".""' '
Professor French followed, on : "How
. can the farmers derive the greatest ben
efit from the experiment station?',' -The
professor spoke of the Hatch act. bv
.which the sum of $15,000 was granted to
each state", annually, for 'the benefit "of
farmers. He .pointed out .four ways
through which the. benefits intended to
follow the appropriation might accrue to
those for whose ' benefit it was made
irst by correspondence. f The professors
held themselves ready to answer all
questions within the. compass of their
knowledge, on anything relating to the
larm, garden or orchard. Second, by
institutes such as the present. Third.
by branch stations, where teste are to
be made and experiments tried, 'similar
ta tnose now : going on at the central
station at Corvallis. No branch station
had yet been instituted, but probably
one wouia De established in Eastern Or
- egon before long. Fourth, by bulletins.
A - A . . '
tuuuunmg tne results ot careful experi
ments and . approved methods. These
bulletins are issued when necessary and
are sent free to- all who may desire
them. At the close of the professor's
remarks, in answer to a question, he
Baid they have 400 yarieties of potatoes
at the experiment station 'out of over
800 known varieties. Their best success
had been attained from planting in deep
loose soil, and keeping the ground level
on top. we plant two eyes to the seed,
About two feet apart. Planting the
- wnoie potato Has resulted in a larger ag
gregate' yields but with more small
potatoes. One eye to the eeed. has - not
. proved so successful. -
An interesting discussion followed the
address - of -Professor French: :-At its
, close, ArS. Roberts sang, in fine" voicer
- a very appropriate farmer's song. -The
' hour of. 4rS0, p. m., bail now arrived".
The Institute had been in session-for
nearly four hours without a sign of wear
iness.: . Chairman Medler announcedthe
programme for -the morrow and the
meeting adjourned. Tne attendance
was quite large, the large hall . being
comfortably filled with probably 300
farmers, their wives and children.-

, .- The Books of 1801. : -
i The .last number of The Publishers'
Circular gives the usual analytic table
of books published in England during
1891. The grand total is 5,706, made up
of 4,42i new - books and 1,277 - new
editions." - These" figures show a slight
decreaso on those of the previous year, a
larger decrease on those of .1889, and, a
very considerable decrease when com
pared with the grand total of 1888, which
was 6,591. There has. been no material
variation of recent ' j-ears in the propor
tion of the several . classes,' except that
novels are still growing steadily.' Since
1880 the total number of novels (new and
old) published in a year has. increased
from 580 to 1,216, or more than twofold,
and miscellaneous (including pamphlets)
has increased from 353 to . 731, again
more than twofold. " " " ' . ;
. On the other hand, arts, sciences and
illustrated works have- decreased' from
479 to only 116, or less than . one-fourth;"
and theology has decreased from 975 to
627. V The annual output of poetry seems
to remain constant at between 100 and
17Q volumes;, while, the new editions of
old poetry; which come into competition
with , contemporary verse, also remain
pretty constant between 40 and 1 70 vol
