Farmers' Institute Meetings,
AT EXETER.
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.
