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.

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.
