Ou Much SSnd, as was announced In The liikrnsl, then was held in the Foteetrt.. Hall, Auburn. • Country Life Conference under the auspices of the Partnere' Club. The drat •p..ker was Mr. IV. .3 Hall, 11. S. A., of the Department of 17Pe of Agrirulttre, Toronto. Ile spoke on I woab the aims and objects of • Fmbrine.arness' brine. ' the way of circles and age the the little hence 1M after these Club. 11e pointed out that the Farmer: Club was to supersede the Farmers.' Institute as it has been and after this autumn the Fannon' Insti- tute will cease mod the Club have its piece with • Hoard of Agriculture in each district. The result will be fewer ' meetings and only when the Club and ' the Hoard can show need. Tbe work of a Farmers' Club shall ' be, therefore, threefold : (1) Social (which was dealt with at the evening meeting ), 1' 2i Educational and (3i Finan- cfal. To guide it along its educational work the Department lou enlarged its former booklet. so that now it has ample subjects for debates and ad- dresses to be taken up locally. The Club must get away from the idea of mere entertainment and .eek enlarged 'ideas It should elm to encourage public speaking. la everydistrict there .re men who have mae and aro I making • woes.• of some branch. The. Club is the pla„e to make use of their experience. It helps them to live up to their standard and renders & service to others. Then there is the work in the com- munity for the Club's oversight and encouragement. To supervise and co- ordinate the varieties of produce to be grown for the markets. Potatoes, for example. One variety, so when a carload i,. shipped It will be not only potatoes lout a special kind. This will add on the city market to which they go at least ten cents to the grower. The same with oats and grains. Live stock conies under the mune rule. Wheu a community is known for • Certain breed buyer. will come. Work for the Farmers' Glob. Again, it can regulate and interpret for the community the Drtioage Act. itis • very wide Act and hard to regu- late, but through the organized com- munity an tinderstaing e&o be arrived at and trouble Iled. The same is true with good roads, tete of the requisites to progress. Through a Fanners' Club there can be worked out a cu -override, cheese and butter factory and in conjunction with it a co-operative district laundry-. a much Deeded thing where help is scarce and hard to secure. Under the arm of • Farmed Club egg circles can be worked out and e.tgs secured fresh to the consumer, which helps the pro- ducer as well. Theo. too, tbere is the testing of herds of stock for tuberculo- sis. it is expensive for one man ..to have his herd toied, hut collectively the Government can send in a man for much less to each one. In fact, the Club stands to look into anything and everything in the community that is for its weal and help push it along. Financially it is not a business con- cern. it hasn't the machinery. It is for improvement mainly. On this side it is to educate the former where be an do business and teach him bow to do it. it is only a forerunner of co- operation in business transections. It therefore should work in conjunction with the loaf dealers and in fact have them in its Club. it is wise fot it to do a little business as a medium of education, but only in such large articles as binder twiue, farm imple- ments and seed grain. Miss 11. Thompson, president of the Women's Institute, lit. Augustine, followed with a paper on woman', pan in this great 'scheme. She arraigned the men for their neglect of the task assumed by them for the past hundred years. The results are not very illum- inating. Since men have made such a failurethe woolen are now trying to rectify the defects. Take the puhhc schools. Why not elect it lady on the school board? Tbey know the needs of child life better than men. and yet the mothers are dilatory. How often do the mothers enter the school to see how their children are faring? lVby are so tunny of our children leaving the farms ? Much ie due to leek of recreation, long hours and difficult task,. In the country there in no dearth of social life, but the quality is very roor. The woman's part is to provide wbolasoms entertainment in Canadian Pacific at Lyons AN exhibition is taking place at!

R. Orson, H. 8. A., district repewsotatle. of Oxford county. Mr. Orme pointed out that the representative 1e the weans of spreading expert agricultural knowledge g..bsd at Ouelpb to the people -the oesaecting link. Ha is appointed by the Department of Agri- culture. Toronto, on reer.mmeodation front the president of the 0. A. C., from an appeal from lbs county re- quiriog such en official. The county is required to got aside five hundred dollars per yams for office equipment and revenge.. The official or officials are paid from the allocation set aside by the Dominica Government for the extension of agriculture in Caned•. 1t is plain, thea, that counties that neglect this are not following the will of Canada or making use of lbs oppor- tunities lying at their door. The office of the representative is located'in some central place on the ground floor. When this is dove the representative must at once beooaue acquainted with the organizations in the county and 1f there are none create them. Mr. Omen then set before the meeting In • concrete way a little of the work as indicated by what the is trying to do. Last year he sold he sent out 3.00) letters in answer to in- quiries, besides circulars and bulletins. There were 1,(100 callers at bis office for intormation. In Oxford there are about H,txlll fanners, ..t in oneear be touched nearly two-thirds ofT them. This might seem unimportant, hut one very important piece of work was the assistance in drainage. He was called upon to make the surveys and rooms - mood the tile required for such drains. At the opening of the season he had thirty applications for such work and when it closed he had eighteen more for the coming season Tbe School Fair. Another most important branch of the work is the school fair. In the county he worked in conjunction with sixty-four acbools and 2,50) children. Been child had a plot of ground. Seed was of the approved kind and in the autumn a fair was held, at wbi:h the children exhibited their results and were awarded prises. This is not the important thing, however. The children have these plots at bonne and through them :he best varieties of grsio and roots have been introduced into the county, tor the fathers, when they see the difference, will at once discard inferior grader. More impor- t•nt still is the ingraining of expert .gricultural knowledge into the chil- dren and breeding in them.the scientific reuse to experiment. Another branch of his work is milk testing. The result ia the discarding of tbe unfair measure of milk by weight fur milk by quality. Another branch and very important ia the pro- tection against weeds and the training of the farmer. to & sense of the name - Pity and cher/poem of first-class seed. Since the office has been established in the county the farmers are bringing ie their stock foods for testing. They have come for inetruction in the kind of alfalfa to grow and such little things that are of vital concern to a success - ,farmer Educating the Young Mea Oreat as is this work, perhaps greater is the educational work among the young men who have been unable to attend school beyond the pubi c school. and this work is general wher- ever. repreaent•tive is at work. This is carried oo during the winter month., when there is a little slack on the farm Tbe course ie from four to six weeks and consiods of lectures and study in the subjects' that are moat :ruponent in farm life. Those boys then go out to • contest in the summer, • contest as to who an grow the best acre of oats or produce the hest hogs or dairy produce or some such thing, and the winner at the end of the season is &warded by the Gov- ernment • abort course of his choice during the next College term at Guelph. Mr. Green's address called forth con- siderable comment and discussion, but it ended with quite • unanimous desire among those present to have such a own in our county. A vote to that effect was taken and • petition put in circulation to ask our county council to take the necessary steps to secure this set vice for the farmers of Huron. Beautifying the Farm Home. The evening meeting began at R p. m.. and since Mr. Breen had to leave on the 9 p. m. train he gave hie evening lecture fret. He spoke on "How to beautify the half -acre around the home."
