Farmers' Institute.
On Wednesday forenoon of last week
the institute opened its annual meeting
in the town hall here with a very good
attendance. The first subject was one
of deep interest, -clover culture -
introduced by Mr. W. Rennie, farm
manager at the Agricultural College
Guelph. Mr Rennie's long and. practical
experience especially qualified him to
speak upon the subject and his instruct -
ton was very valuable. Mr. Rennie
said that clover was.the foundation of
his success upon the farm. In. his
methods of weed distruction, renewing
the soil, and. rotation of crops, clover
was the basis. He placed greater value
on well and properly saved clover hay
than on any other fodder for horaes or
cattle Mr- Rennie also gave a very
interesting address on the beautifying
of the farm home. Mr. Rennie used
two charts, showing the farm as it is
too often found; with a naked brick
house and large bank barn upon it,
without any surroundings, and another
one showing the same farm all beautified
with shade trees; roadways, grassy
lawn, shrubbryt flower beds, fruit
garden, orchard, etc. He explained rhe
trifling cost of making a home such As
would hold the affections of the young
people and incline them to the farm,
out of the dreary and unattractive des-
olation that many very fine farms pre-
sent. Mr. Rennie spoke from his own
experience, and in every sentence he
uttered there was a sermon not easily
to ba forgotten eyen by those who have
but little love and less interest in the
beautiful and attractive in nature. Mr.
Usher, of Thorald, introduced a new
feature into institute work in a talk on
road construction, conceete walks, cel-
lar and stable floors, culverts, drains,
foundation walls concrete silos and all
manner of buildings, His subject was
a new one and awakened so deep an
interest that he was called on to restime
or repeat his Mika at every sessioa of
the Institute. Mr. Alex. McNeill, of
Windsor, gave an instructive address on
education for the farmer. Mr. McNeill
was science master in the Windsor high
school for thirteen years before he re-
tired to farming and grape growing and
was well qualified to speak on' the sub-
ject of education. After defining his
ideal of a farmer's education he did not
think, he said, that our present high
schools and collegiate institutes sup-
plied or aimed at that education. Ort
Tuesday there was a splendid meeting
at Brucefield, and in the evening a
concert ,vas held, the hall being packed
and many having to go away,
being- unable to get in. There was
splendid programme which seemed to
give un.bounded satisfaction to the
audience. Ib consisted ot addresses by
the different members of thedelegation,
readings, music and recitations. The
comicalities of Messrs. George B. Scott
and John Murray, of Seaforth, the in-
strumentals of Mr, and Miss Murdock
of Etensall, and the recitations of Mr.
George Murclie, of McKillop, brought
down the house every time. Mr. John
Ketchen,the ?resident of the Institute,
occupied the Agit at all the meetings.
