EXETER COUNCIL Farmers lnstiute Meet
-
A special meeting sot the council
was field Friday evening to hear the
report of the delegation gent to Ot-
tawa re +the 8t. Marys and Western
Ontario Railway ,and to appoint the
different officers for the year.
Mr. L. 11. Dizkson ono of the del-
egates was first called upon. II.
said the Cato was a little too short
to •)give an extensive report. In a
general way be g:tvz an outline of
what was done .at the meeting. Moth
he and Mr, Bobier ;were re ;civet)
with a .great deal of (favor. At
least fifty delegates were proentd
from all sections tootling after rail-
wat• ,nteiests. The visit had been
the means of placing Exeter for a
certainty on the route map. which.
in r cense had been unprepared .ani
that Exeter mixltt lraxe been the suf-
ferer St. Marys was represented by
the mayor and a Mr. Pringle, who
was acting for Mr. Graham. The
map route, vhic11 was presented' to
the Minister -of Railways for ap'
proval, shows t Le proposed route
front Woodstock 'throngh St. Marys
Klrkton, Exeter, Parkhill, etc.
Something will have do be done in
the rear future as Juno 5th 1907 is
the date el the expiration of ,the
charter unless the work is started.
Otherwise the charter will be for-
feited. Several gentlemen rep-
reaenting the C. P. Il. 'wore present
including Sir Thotnas Shaughnessy
and a Mr. 1)r:nkwatcr. Mr. Mahlon
Cowan. the soiizi•tor of the G. T. P.
was also present and offered no ob-
jection to the proposed route. The
delegation was given to thoroughly
understand that the C. P. R. wore
behind the project and every assur-
anc' ..vas given that the road would
be built. Mr. Dickson stated that
the delegation was in possession of
iufezrnation, which was not ready
for the press or public, but would be
given the members of the zouncil it
a private erecting. "however," he
conti•,ued 'any danger of the roll
missing Exeter is gone. The fact
that the C. P. It. has a lot of build.
ing on their handl, especially in :the
West, stood in the way of the of(i-
cial» . iking up the matter of build-
ing up through bele sooner.
There was nothing in the 'report
of St. Marys throwin; Exeter down.
The line roust go according ,to the
ch-rtor, St. Marys 1>1s no influence
in )laving the road stop there, in fact
a road from Woodstock to St.
Marys alone would be of little nae
to the C. I'. R. Mosara. Ilohicr and
Dickson arranged for correspondence
with the C. P. R. They impressed on
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy .that Exeter
is the .lost important point between
Loedon and \Vin;ham. At present
there is no dcaided route ,through
Exeter.
Reeve pottier staled that the visit
to Ottawa was beneficial to tho town
While there they met 'gentlemen
who Were trvinx to secure a charter
for the i-roposed extension of a rad-
ial raiiw•ay from Orangeville through
seaforth, 'Zurich, Grand Bend ant
Sarni-. Ile impressed upon there the
advantages of Exeter and tried to
got the route changed to go thnought
Exeter and Crediton, and he was
promised a blue print showing the
route in the altered condition.
Mr, I1obior received the blue print
Saturday morning, It is gotten out
by the Huron & Ontario Radical
railway company and shows where
charters have been secure from
from Whitby to Orangeville, from
Toronto and other points.Tho
charter which they aro now trying
to secure shows the route from
Orangeville, through 5Mitclsell, Exe-
ter, Crediton, Parkhill, \Vnllaceburg
with a bran:it over to Sarnia, with
Windsor as the ;terminus.
It was moved by A. E. Puke oc-
conded by W. Johns that a vote of

I' harmers' Institute meeting
held in the Town hall last 'Thurs-
day afternoon was. the largest at-
tended tneetiug given by the society
in Exeter. Every available scat was
taken, and a number had to stan )
during the ,two folks twhizh wore
taken up .by the lecturers.
Mr N. 1). 8andors, president of
the society occupied Om chair and
called upon Mr. J. Gardhouse, of
Ilightield, who Was 011 the progr:int
to give a lecture on the "care and
management of horses" Mr. Gard -
house in an easy ,speaker and handled
his subject well.
A large chart of a horse vas tied
for demonstration purposes and fie
immediately started to describe the
most suitable horse for farm pun.
loses. A horse with a 'nice clean
jaw is most prefarahle. and should
have a thick heavy neck, somewhat
arched and blending easily into t
shoulder with plenty of muscle and
a good distance between the bot•
tom of the neck and breast. The
front le;s should be set back while
those with 1015 at the corner, should
be avoided, as they have, a lenien-
cy to have hollow chest,. In des•
cribin3 the front legs, Mr. Gard.
house stated there 'should be plenty
of muscle in the forearm, with the
knee inclined to be flat, and the fet-
locks covered with fine silky hair.
The cannons should have very lit-
tle meat on them, and the pasterns
neither too short nor too long. The
foot should be fair (ized not too
large and with fair depth. Ile did
not 'think it wise to keep oboes
horses doing .farm work exclusively,
especially brood %nares and colts.
As to the color of the hoof he did
not think there was much difference.
A horse with a white hoof, might
have a better hoof than one with
a dark one. and vice versa. Ile pre-
ferred a horse with arched ribs ant
lots of muscle along the back rather
than one with flat ribs and Sleep
stomachs. A3 a simile he compared
:1!). athlete with lots of muscle on
his loins to :r man built alone the
lines of an alderman. Ile did trot ,
flavor an animal with a square
croup bone or a prominent pin bone
but one that is well rounded with
plecty of muscle. In the hind le;
a broad clean hock is more prefer-
ato.:. A horse that toes in i ,mord '
preferable than the one that toes
ou', but the one with a straight
foot Is better.
In discua5ing the cara of colts Mr.
Gardhouse said a little colt should
be taught to eat as early as (rossiotc
and this should be done at the op -
per' te side of a -tall rtt st•hiah the
mother feeds. Chopped oats, bran
and milk are _good for the young
colts, but they should not feed too
much while nursing. After the colt
has reached the age of four or five
months, it is time to wean it. Mr.
G,;dhousc stated that during the
winter he allowed his brood mares
to roam around the barn yards dur-
ing• the afternoons. 1'lu'y need ex-
ercise and should have it. A young
colt should also be halter broken
as early as possible. A little halter
should be secured and put on filet
and when passing hies in the ;tall,
pull it gently until the animal be-
come.- accustomed to the handling•
This often saves a colt from injury
when brought in during the fall.
Ile will know what the halter is for
and ,vhen tied will rot try to tear
the stall to pieces, or bleak the hal-
ter rope. Mr. Gardhouse ndvisei
strongly against alloxt'ind the colt to
follow .he mother tvltan alio is work-
in; in the field. The moth:•r's mind
is co•.tinually on her nff4prin4. and
the colt cannot thrive nell if allow-
ed to run all over the field ant set
tired. Plenty of roll should be giv-
en 1 annuals.
