growth, strong foundation and close

most perfect union after grafting, the
Spy being so long in producing fruit,
The ging, Spy, Greening, Baldwin
are all good for top grafting. Orchards
need feeding, wherethe grass is; let
grow it should be plowed up, and the
orchard given a good mulching of Nit-
rogen, Potash and Phosphroic. Acid.
The trees are allowed tp ' starve for
want of fertility. The question was
asked when was the proper time for
pruning; June being recommended as
being the best month, as this was the
growing season. In Ontario we have
8 million fruit trees fifteen years old,
and four million under, producing 37
million bushels in a year,
1 The next speaker for the afternoon
was Mrs. Colin Campbell of Goderich,
who gave a talk on Household Econo-
mics. This subject being of interest
to the ladies as well as the gentlemen.
Household Economics defined is the
science of living economically. 'Phis
covers the location ofliyiog and sani-
tary condition. It is an art based on
scientific principles. ' The school needs
close application to our homes. We
want a broader education for our
women, a school training for home-
makers. It is a nervous strain on
those who are not trained' and fitted to
snake the home healthful and happy.
The health and happiness of mankind
depends "where we live and how we
live." The location of homes should"
be most desirable, pure air, plenty of
sunshine and pure water are the three
principles. Do not build in sordid or
ugly surroundings. Women's judge-
ment is absolutely necessary in build-
ing a :house. Heating and ventila-
tion• should be carefully looked after.'
The knowledge of sanative conditions
of the house are required by -every
man and woman. Beauty has its laws.
The superfluous articles which prevail
in our homes have much to do with
the health of the occupants, keep
1ea
nothing but what is useful and beauti-
ful. This subject could be dwelt on
longer as it interests all mankind and
should be made a careful study. Mrs.
Campbell was very a.: sious as well as
the directors of the institute to start a
sciciety of Household Economics in
connection with the institute in this
! locality. After the meeting she re-
ceived a number of names who were
willing to organize a society, which
may prove both beneficial and inter-
esting.
The subject next taken was "Com-
mon Sense Hog Feeding" by F. C.
Elford Holmesville, who :outlined the
methods followed by himself. In the
first place we want .a succulent 'food,
this is supplied in summer by having
summer paddocks for pasturage into
which the young pigs are put, and
shorts and milk is fed along with the
clover. When they are, say 160 lbs,
they are taken off the grass and fed
grein. Pork has beeu produced in this
way for 21c per pound. He tecom-
mended artichokes highly, saying
they were a. complete . food with the
addition of water. In winter man -
golds and sugar beets are largely fed.
These should be pulped' and mixed
with chop of oats and barley, which
are grown mixed, Under this treat-.
went they never have a sick hog,
Concrete floors are used and the pens
are frequently cleaned.
The usual concert in the evening
was well attended, and a very enter-
taining programme rendered
and orchards should not be crowded,
the fewer trees the better fruit, not
too many varieties. For our northern
climate the apple was our best fruit,
For export and commercial use. The
