I Scatth Huron Farmers' Insti-
tute.
The meeting of the South Huron i
Farmer's Institute was held here on
Saturday. The attendance ae the
afternoon meeting was fairly good.
There is not the interest taken -in
these conventions there shoeld be. The
farmer is the backbone of our coun-
try, and is the source of much of the
wealth and prosperity of the land
and, Any means „used for his ad-
vancement, are worthy of the deep-
est consideratiou. No other occupation
will exist and flourish under such bap,
hazard couditione as farming does
hut this is no reason wily farming
shoald not be discussed or made the
.subject of conventions- It is impose
eible for one man and especially a
farmer, to attain the greatest sueeess
in and of himself, but by hearing
and seeing the methods and ideas of
his neighbor, he is aided to a great
extent in securing the results, whieh
otherwise would require life-long ex-
periments on bis own part. This is
the important beneat to be derived
froco the meetings of the Institute.
They are held at a season of the
year when they can be inoet conven-
ieutly attended by the farmers and
while it is impossible to have a
lecture, to which all will readily
agree, yet every lecture ts instruct-
ive, and will at least eatiae an effort
no the part of the most indifferent
listener.
The afternoon program consisted of
addresses which were neleed clesermeg
of a good attendance, Profeesor
Woodward. of NeW York State, is and
has always been afarreer, and, while
in some respects. Canadian farmers
might not he able to follow all his
dictatioree, yM, he was instructitee, and
verY helpful. He was aware of the
fact that tbe °mediae farmer could
produce superior articles in some re-
spects to the 'United States farmer,
this being especially true in couneetion
with bacon and peas. His address
was on "animals as =chines and eco-
nomical ni1k prodoction", both of
which topics proved interesting and
instructive.
The other speaker, on whom it is
scarcely necessary to dilate, was Mr.
R. Meltiordie, of Rippen, who dealt,
with agriculture past and present and
treated his audience to a good, sound
common sense and practical instruct -
The evening session was a success.
Mr. Woodward gave an interesting
talk on the reising of stock, while Miss
Maddock, of Guelph, gave an address
on diet, dealing with the foods neces-
sary to take at the different stages of i
life. The addresses were nter-
epersed byea program of local talent
in which Mr. Hemming, Mr. Vincent,
Warren Ross, Mr. Hurclon,G. Eacrett,
Alit Davidson, Miss Nettie Martin and
Miss Ball, together with the Exeter
orchestra, took an aetive part.
