went of this seotion of Ontario, but only
an iodination of the greater advance to
take plane. Advised the feeding of our
cattle and thereby enriobing the soil.
Oonoluded by expressing the hope that
all would enjoy a good time.
Thos. McMillan, of Hallett, was the
first speaker taking up the important
topio of "Land. Drainage," Knowledge
and energy ebonld be applied in order to
snare manse. We oan do little in reg-
ulating pride of prodeee, benne the news.
eity of increasing the production of on
farms, and underdrnining takes first
plane in this oona,deration. No matter
bow rich a soil 1% of its substance ie
available at any one time. The soil is a
great laboratory. Benefits of draining
are—it deepens soil, assists pulverization,
prevents eartaoe washing, lengthens sea-
sons, lighter to work, prevents heaving,
prevents drought, weeds more easily
killed. It raises temperature of eoil ab
least 10 degrees. All these oouditione
tend to produce an earlier harvest, a
greater variety of Grope and more abund•
ant and better quality of produce. No
rigid rules for draining. A proper outiet,
putting atones at opening. Put leading
drains in lowest ground. Depth and
distance apart must be determined by
nature of soil. In stiff Olay put them
ehallow. Spring is the beet time to
Innate drains. Drains should be dry in
damp season to be sure of suffioient fail
and level bottom. Tile is best material
wbere available, and lay firm and even.
A farmer with plenty of time can do
draining better himself. Drains will
pay for themselves in 3 or 4 years at the
longest. Rave a map of farm showing
all drains for future referenoe. Mr. Mo-
Miilan'e address was an excellent one.
H. Glendenning, of Manilla, North
Ontario, after answering a cumber of
queations took np his addrese on "'rhe
Best Grasses for Pasture." Grasses fn
the Old Country were virtually more
valuable than grain and rented at big
prioee. Oar farmers have got away from
the old time pasture field and on the
removal of stamps go at once into grain.
Timothy does not make good pasture as
it gets too dry and the June graasea and
white °lover that creep fn improve it.
Every farm should have a piece of per.
maneot pasture. First requisite is good
drainage, lands well cleaned from weeds
and in good With. Buy only flrat-class
seed. Sow it with Fall wheat or barley,
always in the Spring. Grasses should be
mixed so an to (tome in early Spring and
on until frost comes in Fall. Best pee
turee grow thick but not long. Grasses
for mixture advised are: -3 lbs. timothy,
5 lbs. orchard grass, 2 Ibe. alsike, 2 lbs.
white °lover and 4 lbe. Kentucky blue
grass ; 4 lbs. of trefoil or yellow clover.
Orchard grass is apt to bunch but a
scythe will ant these and give it a fresh
start. It stands dry weather well.
Welke clover only a briennial but re -seeds
and keeps it in the ground if not closely
propped. White clover is ontritione.
Kentucky blue grass is not well known
here. The Jane grass ie related to it.
The Ksotuoky variety is larger and better
yielder, particularly in Fall. No stems.
Would sow 4 or 5 lbs, of Luaern to the
acre if frost did not kill it. None expen•
sive averaging about 10 to 12do. There
should be it balanced ration both as bone
and flesh producers. Sow orchard grass
by band. The speaker said his was a big
stook•raieing township but not much
pasturing, we raise cattle but often sell
to the ranches near by. Advised harrow-
ing old pastures, spreading well rotted
manure and perhaps Bowing a little more
grass seed. In Yorkshire little wheeled
ben houses are ran out into fields where
the poultry pink up the vermin and other
pests. Mr. Glendenning was quite at
home in his subject and gave a great deal
of information on the question.

talk on the position of Canada and our
duty as Canadians.
Mr. Elliott, of Galt, was the first
speaker, taking as bis aubjeot "Earth
worms and their relation to the farm,"
He gave an interesting account of the
aonetrttotiou of this important little
worker and referred to their habits and
GM in the better tillage of the farm. It
is a very interesting theme.
D. D. Wilson, the Egg Ring, of Sea.
forth, was called upon and gave a obeery
impromptu talk on the egg question,
referring to it es one of the moat import-
ant and profitable industries of the farm,
and showing, by practical results', the
value of lila feathered triende. He urged
the farmers to keep bens that lay large
eggs. Buying by weight ie the bonest
way to buy eggs, and bbe large egg is the
more minable in the Old Country. Eggs
are now graded according to size, maoh•
inn coat £45. The English men tike
brown shelled eggs. Mr. Wilson thinks
the American tariff on the egg business
was not an nnmixedevil and the Yankees
are now seeking the British market for
this produce. Don't keep eggs until they
get stale. In °losing he referred to the
South African war and the warm atbaoh•
cent of Oahaoks to the Motherland.

advised taking a strip of ?r of an aorta and
working it with a horse. The ground
must be dry and riot and well fenced to
tarn stook. Set tont on one aide 2 or 8
varieties of berries, early, medium and
late, so that they oan be plowed around,
Currants and strawberries ditto. Pat
all vegetables in flat rows. Potatoes
ebould be pot in a orate near the stove
and let sprout before planting. Plant 5
fnohss deep without any cutting into
sections. Cultivate on the flat with a
horse. The early tomatos are the beet.
The garden ebonld not be left to women
but the men should help. Everybody
should have an abundance of both fruit
and vegetables.
A. Hislop, M. P. P., was called upon
and spoke briefly referring to the value of
Farmers' Institutes. He thought we
should not be unduly proud of our calling
but should bring out the noblest and best
in our lives.
The meeting was 0000laded by singing
the National Anthem, Those who agreed
