The ad- ground, Home School and Gynmaslum, dress was full of inspiration for the teachers present, Inspector Tom introduced the subject, Class Discipline and Reading with Class, He emphasized very strongly that the pupils should stand properly during the reading lesson, and exhibit life and energy during the recitation. He com- mended the Speller as a very useful book in teaching reading and pronen- elation. Tne pupils should enunciate their words clearly and distinctly. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Ross and MacKay Miss Lillian J. Clarke, of St. Helens, read an interesting paper on History for Third Class, prepared by Misses Clark and A. V. Dorrance. The paper advocated the use of the oral method with blackboard summary and repro- duction by pupils. Pupils' note -books must be carefully supervised. Reviews should be taken from different stand- points than those taken in the lessons. This may be done by tracing events backwards, reviewing by dates, recall- ing the story by maps or pictures. History should be closely correlated with other subjects. The lesson often furnishes a subject for composition. Current events should be taken regular- ly and lessons drawn therefrom. The discussion was continued by Messrs. Hoggarth, Johnston, Howard 'Ross and Inspector Tom. r. J. P. Hume, B. A., Principal of the Goderich Collegiate Institute, deliv- ered an address on Bird Life He showed that birds are related to reptiles thus proving evolution in animal life. He explained that when birds began to fly some modifications of the reptile has to be made as the bones vvere made light but strong, thus the birds have light hollow bones, the head had to be made light and the lower pert of the body heavy, etc. He urged the teach- ers to teach their pupils to protect their birds. Prof. McCready, of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, spoke eloquently on Huron County's Rural Problem. He showed that the population of this coun- ty has decreased about 30,000in the lase twenty-five years 'and 6,311 from 1901 till 1911. East Huron has lost fifteen per cent. of their homes in these ten years. and Old Ontario lost 97,124 in the same time. Counting the people in the suburbs of the large cities, the natural increase of births over deaths and the immigrants to Ontario bound for the ural portions of the community, we find that Old Ontario has lost over 400,- 000 in her rural population from 1901 till 1911. The problem of every country to -day is to keep a standard people in the country. By a standard people is meant one of average intelligence, of moral and religious worth. Prof. Mc- Crearly looks forward with hopefulness to a time when the rural population will increase rather than decrease. To bring this about we must depend ort the teachers of the land, In order to sun- ceed, the rural population must be con- verted. They mast come th the point where they will want agriculture taught in their sehools. When this is done it will transfortat the rural school, making it the local beauty spot with neat fences well kept buildings, lawns and flower beds; a small Intel experimental farm; the social and educational centre of the tection, etc. The address was listened te With a greet deal of pleasure.

The ent work consiets of disearding melee sirable vflrs. germination testieg, utile blug, elassifying the ears, shelling and testing the aceuraey ol* drop of the corn planter. The quality and productiveness of the seed supply can DOW be impeoved by discerding the poorer ears and the poorer kernels. The seed corn should now be "as dry as a bone," stud among the ears tbat appeared desirable last fail some un- desirable ones will now be found. Discard any that have discolored ker- nels, small size, very sharp beaks, germs of poor development and appear- ance, etc. All the ears retained &meld show good development and maturity, be heavy for their size and contain solid, eigorous looking kernels a fairly eni- form size and. shape. These desira- ble ears should now be tested to de- termine whether all the kernels will grow. Germination Testing. Although good seed selection and preservation usually make a separate testing of the gerinination of cavil ear unnecessary, it Is advissible to exercise precaution by demonstrating that the ears will germinate well. Ten kernels from each of fifty cars can be tested by one of the various methods that have been so well described in literas ture. This demonstration that fifty representative ears germinate satisfac- torily is sufficient evidence of the use- iessness of testing each ear of the en- tire supply. If ears of poor germina- tion should be found it will be advis- able to test each ear of the entire sup- ply in order to be able to discard those in poor germinatiou. Discard the small, partially developed kernels from the tip of the ears. 'Why? Because such kernels do not yield well. Careful field experiments ha.ve demon- strated that they grow into small, bar- ren and poor producing stalks. Discard the round, thick kernels from the butts of the ears. Why? Because the corn planter cannot drop evenly if they are included with the other ker- nels. !Kernels that have been injured by mice or weevils or that are otherwise undesirable should also be discarded before the ears are shelled. Classifying the Ears. As it is highly advisable that the corn planter should drop an equal num- ber of kernels in each hill, -which it cannot do unless the kernels are of uni- form size and shape, it is advisable to ela.ssify the ears before shelling them. Those having large kernels should be included in one class and those having medium size kernels in another class. Each class should be shelled and bag- ged separately. To these bags the planter plates that testing has shown will drop regularly the proper number of kernels should be tied for convert- ience at planting time. Shelled seed corn can be cleaned and graded by expensive, properly adjust- ed grades, but the method just de- scribed of classifying the ears before shelling is raore satisfactory. How to Shed Seed Corn. Seed corn should be shelled by hand. Careful hand shelling pays the man who plants but a few acres, and it pays to a greater degree the man who plants huadreds of acres. Each ear should be shelled separately into a hand sieve. This permits the chaff from the cob to fall through and the kernels from each ear to be closely in- spected before being dumped bate the general supply. The value of this close inspection is loft if the ears are run through a corn sheller and some of the kernels cracked or broken. DOpartn) to .

A well attended evening meeting was held, there being an interesting pro- gramme of addresses and music.

Oe the first sign of any weaknens of the heart or nerves you should avail yourself of a perfect CUIT by using Mil- bure's Heart and Nerve Pills.

Department of Agriculture Advises on Work In Fields. In no sectioe of the conntry does a well prepared seed lied give better re- turns thau in the southern states. The best serlug preparation of the soil is practically itupossthle unless It has beeu propelly -Owned and deeply bro- ken during the -previous summer or fail, The necessity for deep plowing he the south is probably not realleed by those who are not familiar with the heavy rainfall In this section, which frequently packs awl runs the particles of soil together so as to exclude air and suushine. The absence of freezing prevents any loosening up of tbe par- ticles, besides in many places there is an altnost impervtons hardpan of eub- soil, either eatural or brought about from a continuons custom of shallow plowing. In other sections this deep- ening and loosening of the soil is done partly at least by the forces of nature, but it can eel,' be accomplished by the plow in the south. The best itnpleraent for deep break- ing of the soil is the disk plow, which turns, pulverizes and mixes at the same time. When properly adjusted the disk breaks the land deeply and. thoroughly loosens it, mixing this soil and the subsoil to some extent, but does not turn to the surface enough of .the inert subsoil to injure the suc- ceeding. crop. The next best method for deep breaking is moldboard plow - WELL PREPAIMD SBED Ing, set to turn furrows on edge, and. this Is followed by a subsoil plow in the same furrow as deeply as desired. If the cover crop is to follow the fall breaking a thorough preparation of the seed bed should. be made before plaeting the seed. If no cover crop is sowed the disk harrow or spring tooth ; harrow should be run over occasionally ' to crush clods and keep surface crust broken for the admission of air and stmlight. The usual method is to fiat break, and where this is done it is best to throw up into beds before planting. Planting may be done with small plows or just as effectively and much faster witla a disk cultivator set at the proper angle. Should there be clode a roller may be used, and this is followed with a section tarrow. With. nearly all field crops a firm seed bed Is preferable. Only the first few inches need to be freshened and pulverized at planting time. Where there has been no fall and winter breakleg done, as is the rule in some sections, it is not advisable to break as deeply in the spring as in the fall. It ie found more necessarY to get spring broken land finely pul- verized and thoroughly prepared be- fore plenting. It is better to delay planting several days rather than put the seed in a poorly prepared bed.
