Among The Farmers

AMONG THE FARMERS.

University Professors to Speak at Farmers' Institutes.

The plan of sending prominent members of the university faculty to the various farmers' institutes held throughout the state was so successful last year that a number of professors have come forward and volunteered their services in a similar capacity this winter. Those who have expressed a willingness to go, together with the subjects on which they will talk are as follows: Prof. H. C. Adams, "Local taxation;" Prof. H. S. Carhart, "Lightning rods and how to make them;" Prof. J. B. Davis, "Good roads;" Prof. B. A. Hinsdale, "The Michigan system of public instruction;" Prof. W. B. Hinsdale, "Practical farm sanitation," and "Adulteration of food and farm products;" Prof. Victor H. Lane, "The habitual criminal;" Prof. F. C. Newcombe, "First principles of agriculture;" Prof. F. G. Novy, "Bacterial disease of plants and animals;" Prof. Israel C. Russell, "Geographical history of the great lakes;" Prof. Bradley M. Thompson, "Early English community farming;" Prof. Victor Reighard, "Trichina, the flesh worm of pork;" Prof. Paul C. Freer, "Beet sugar and the sugar beet."  

Each of these gentlemen will probably speak at several different places but their assignments have not yet been made.
