The Farmers' Institute meetings held in'Exeter on Tuesday last were the best in the history of the local In- stitute. The large and enthusias- tic meetings of representative farmers showed that they were possessed of the proper progressive spirit and were determined to learn all that could be learned" regarding -the !rest manage- ment of their farms. In the afternoon the Town Hall was filled to overflowing and all manifested interest in the proceedings. The chair was occupied by the president, Mr. Henry Horton, who opened the meet- ing bya short introductory address, after which he called on Mr.`C. Barber of Orosshill, • Mr. Barber spoke on "Breeding and. Feeding of Fat Cattle." His address was perticelarly interesting and in- structive. In the course of his remarks he .said there Was too touch Cross- breeding, and advised breeding of thor- oughbred stock of the Shorthorn, Hereford, Poll Angus .and Galloway, bred, and less of the cross 'breeding with cattle of the nilkieg strain. Re liked the Shorthorn and Poll Angus breeds. They produced the best re- sults. He showed a chart of a beef with the cuts marked on it and"the prices paid for the same at the mark= ets and advised as to the best breeding to secure the best shaped animals for the market. Regarding.' feeding be thought that twice a day was sufficient at 6.30 a,' m. and 6.30 p. m. and that cattle should be allowed out•in a closed shed every day once only to drink, preferably in the morning when star hies are being cleaned out. Cattle should be kept as quiet•as possible and not often disturbed to secure best re- sults. They should be fed•cut straw and ensilage, barley and oats mixed, few roots, and a little hay once qday after being to drink. Many present asked the speaker questions which he answered much to their satisfaction. The address being directly on the line of the average farmer, those present were much pleased with it. Mr, T. H. Mason of Straffordville was next called upon. He spoke at Iength on "Maintenance of Soil Fertility,' and showed remarkably good "grasp of the subject, which could only be secur- ed by a thorough study. The address was of a scientific nature and while' not quite so closely in touch with the I farmer, was appreciated by all, He spoke of the latest and most approved methods of keeping the soil fertile in European and American countries; comparing .them with Ontario and de- ducting final`"tile' comparison what Ontario mostneeds. Mr. R. B. McLean of Kippen then gave a good general address in the course of which he compared thestand- ing of the farmer with the other clas- ses of citizens, advised them to he par- ticular and careful in all their work, to be honest in everything and neighbor- ly with all, helping each other as much as possible and thus benefitting the whole class. He advised union among the farmers as in other classes. The address was much appreciated as is in- variably the case with the speaker whenever he appears on a platform. During the afternoon the directors busied themselves getting members and secured many. An interesting feature was an exhi- bition of dried specimens of the differ- ent weeds of Ontario. They caused much interest and many remarked that they never supposed there were so many weeds. This was a good edu- cation in itself regarding the appear- ance and names of the weeds. It is a very necessary thing that farmers should know those enemies to their crops and the best means of getting rid of them. WOMENS' INSTITUTE.. CONCERT IN EVENING/. The i nter'tainment given in the ey- ening in;tbe Opera House was la-gely attended by broth townspeople and country people. The chair was occupi- ed by Meer 7. B. Carling in his usual happy planner, and a first-class pro, gramme. was rendered. Pleasing solos were sting by Misses Johns and Martin while Misses Kinsman and Dow gave an excellent piano duet. The orchest- ra was presentand played several choice selections. Interspersed among the'musicai numbers were three ad- dresses from the same speakers who spoke in the afternoon meetings: --Mr. Mason cin t "A Trip to the Maritime Provina.ee"; Mr. Barber on "Fanners' Sons;" and Miss Millar on "Domestic Science,' Much', information was gained sum the description of the eastern provinces, Many good sound reasons were given why the farmer's' sons should stick to the farm and avoid the allurements of the city. Valuable hints were thrown out by Miss Millar as to the ,management of the home, and the Rifest influence of a knowledge of the many household duties to the woman of to -clay, particular attention being given to the many useful things a child "should he taught. With the singing -of "God Save the King" there closed a very instructive day's meet- ings, the hest the institute have ever held -here. AT BRUCEFIELD. The institute meeting at Brucefield on Saturday afternoon was of much the same nature as that at Exeter. Mr. Barber and Mr. Mason spoke on the same subjects while Mr. .Horton occupied the chair. In addition Mr. T. 13. Carling of Exeter gave a talk on 'Poultry and Farm Produce." He spoke at length and interestingly from the view point of the merchant who is cantintralk•y buying the farm produce and selling -the same, and therefore gains a knowleci a as to the planner in which the produce should he put up. He advised the greatest care un- der all circuuistances and the result would he that the farm produce would demand the highest market prices at all times. Regarding the raising of poultry he strongly advised breeding the better classes altogether as from these" the best results were. obtained both in flesh and eggs at the same cost. He also spoke of the.neces- sity of keeping the poultry in teelean place as there was nothing like filth to keep ; the '€eathered tribe from doing well, In connection with the Farmers' In- stitute the Women's Institute held an afternoon meeting in the Opera House. The chair was occupied by thepresi- dent of the local institute, Miss Halls. Mrs, Vernon gave a well received reci- tation, besides which an interesting address was given by Miss Millar of Guelph. Miss Millar's subject was "Our Schools." This subject is one that is new in institute work yet one of great importance and one that the Institutes in the future will have more to say about. Quoting Mr. L, H. Baily, of Cornell University: "One's traiurng for the work of life is begun in the home and fostered in the school. This training is the result of a direct and conscious effort on the part of the parent and teacher, combined with the indirect result of the surroundings in which the child is placed. The sur- roundings are more potent than we think, and they are usually neglected." Miss Millar urged upon a greater co- operatioti between home and school and hoped that the mothers would take a greater interest in that place where the children were spending so large a part of their time. It is im- portant that the teacher's influence be sound, forceful and effective, and the right kind of teacher cannot be had for a low salary. itis no economy to save on a teacher's salary, yet this mistake is sometimes made, especially in rural schools. Speaking of the school age it was found that Inspec- tors, Doctors and Teachers agree that it Was a great mistake to send a child to school too young. The introduction of such suhjects as Manual Training Domestic Science and Nature Study was spoken of and many of the bene- fits were shown forth. The value of flowers, pictures, etc., in the school room cannot be estimated and the in- fiuenoe of such is for good. Resides speaking of simple means that would add to the comfort of the pupils, the subject of the school grounds was and upon they Might g t be made beauty spots by the planting of trees and flowers. -- ADDITIONAL LOCALS Mrs. Benson Williams and little. dada! ; 'i;' -- a, , of Usborne, returned last }week froriiat visit with Mrs. Will- iam's sister, illiam'ssister, Mrs. Miller, at Kincardine.
