Blueval Meeting of Farmers'
Institute,
There ';vas a large attendance at
the Foresters' hall, Bluovale, on
Wednesday, the 29th ult. In the
afternoon particularly, there was a
good turn out, the audience filling
every part of the commodious hall.
4tOnefeature .which, marked the
• gathering from the outset, was the
large number of talented speakers
.on hand, so that the difficulty was to
crowd into the programme, all whom
the farmers would like to hear,
Mr. Alex, Gardner, Leadbury,
opened the discussion at the after-
noon session, on the "Management of
Pigs." The thorough way in which
"`'' the speaker dealt with this subject
showed clearly he understood every-
thing in connection with the raising
of live hogs.
Thomas i1teMillan, of Constance,
followed with an interesting discus-
sion on the "Rotation of Crops,"
showing clearly to the farmers the
necessity of studying the nature of
their soil. In a few remarks he
urged all farmers who would progress
- with the times, to study their work
from a scientific, as well as a practi-
cal standpoint. Science must go
hand in hand with practice in agri-
culture as in all other professions.
' Practice with science, should be the
working motto of every farmer in
the future.

Mr. Jas. Hinchley, of Mullett, then
addressed the meeting on "Bee-
keeping," He stated that every
farmer should have a few of these
busy workers and also gave a few
praetieal hints as regards to the care
of them, tamely: That it is neces-
sary they should be kept dry and
warm through the winter months,
and as soon as warm weather comes
in the spring, set them out and rake
out all the dead ones and just keep
suf tient racks for the amount of
bees. He said if you only have a
few colonies of bees do not let them
swarm too soon and this would be
done by separating your bees, moving
some of them into an empty hive; in-
cluding the queen. Another plan
was to clip the queen's wings. For
extracting honey be was in favor of
using toy hives, putting them on
about July and replacing when fall.
Christopher Michie, Sunshine, next
addressed the meeting on the subject
• of "Growing Fodder for fall use."
At present, he stated, it was getting
more needful every year, that the
farmers should have something to
take the ttlace of the grass when the
fles dry weather sets in- during he sum-
mer. He thought peas and oats
mixed and cut and well winded was
a good substitute for stock of any
- kind. Rape was also an excellent
food for sheep and lambs. Restated
that corn was a good crop to grow
but in order to handle it properly it
was necessary we should have silos.
Mr, 0.•A. Matson, of Craigburst,
spoke on "The best varieties of or-
chard fruits and how to grow thein."

mers to spend a little more time on

REPLY:—KtND FRIENDS,—I assure
von it is mach easier to preach a
sermon than to reply to such a sym-
pathetic address. Your kindness
is beyond my words for expression
and such a presentation takes us off
guard. No maids can express my
gratitude for such an address and
present and I shall value it not only
for the spirit in which itis given, but
for its intrinsie value as well. I
have greatly enjoyed my labors
among my people here and at Lang -
side. and with your sympathies and
held my work has been made light.
I feel that it is impossible to reply
farther but again 1 thank you hearti-
ly for your present as well as
your hearty appreciation of any
labors au I sincerely hope and pray
that the good work may continue
and God's work may prosper as it
has done.

It is with deep regret that we
announce this week the death of Mrs.;

Sbnpson Remote, ;Milliken, was the
last speaker of the day and had for
his discussion, that all important
subject, namely: "The buying and
feeding of eattle for the British
market." He thought the embargo
was not an inj ury but had a tendency
to develop the finishing of our own
cattle and hence the greater profit
for the farmer here. He said he
bought his bullocks in ' the fall, buy-
ing only those which were well bred.
Shorthorn-Dtarhams preferred before
alt others. When he put his cattle
in for feeding, he slid not approve of
turning thein out every day, as he
thought it a waste of feed, but kept
them in until about a weak before

Stewart was the mother of 7 child-

whom are living. Four sons are
living in Manitoba and the Northwest,
one- in the United States and one son
and daughter are on the homestead.
Mrs. Stewart was a good Christian
woman, a loving mother, and a con-
sistent member of the Presbyterian
church in Blyth. Her funeral took
place on Tuesday afternoon, and was
attended by a large ,concourse of
