In the Methodist churob the services were muoh the same. Rev. Mr. Swann ad- dressed the ohildren and the singing was led by a choir of Sunday Sohool scholars. Will Brussels School Advance ? To the Editor of Inn nosy I think the time has come when our Publio eohool should take a step in ad- vance. Tinder the present Principal it has been particularly enooeeefol and never more so than at the last Midenm• mer examinations. At present there are about 40 pnpile in, his room studying. for Part I of Senior Leaving, or as it is aerially known for eeoond clave Teachers' certificates. With the usual success about 20 of these will write next year and prise and then if they are to proceed farther they must attend a High Sohoot for a couple of years at a cost of about $150 per year each. Now for those parents who are able to send their children the matter is simple. The children are Bent and about $1000 a year is taken out of the town. For those pupils that cannot go there ie practically nothing to do in Brussels. O9e orat meet two Bare more at the ❑ Public eohool would enable them to start life at fair salaries and thus enable them ,to become useful oitizene. This change oan be made at little or no coat to the ratepayer. At present about 8 pnpile from Bras. eels are away attending the varione High Sahoole, paying in eohool fees about 670. About 12 pupils in the neighboring town. ships who would gladly attend the Bras. Sale pablio school if Part II Junior Leave. ing work were taken up in it are also sway. Their fees amount to -about $110. Now, if the work were taken rip in our Pnblio eohool it would be better for these pnpile to pay at least $12 per year and save paying board than to pay $8 per annum at a High Sohool. Thie should bring in an income of about $240, which added to the Legislative and County grant would make $440. The Legislative and Connty grants this year amount to $100 for Barb I Junior Leaving. Io the neighboring rural wheels there are about 16 Fifth oleos pnpile within sae raeeela. pupile p p These e would reach of B make muoh better progress in a room where there is but another erase, a more advanced one, than they can now in schools whir 1 there are at least 8 other Manses demanding the time of a single teeober, in some oases an inexperienced teaoher at that." It would clearly be to the advantage of these schools to send their pnpile to the Brneeele Public eohool and have their fees paid by the Boards of Trustees from the funds of the Sections ae provided by law, Our own Fifth crises pupils should, I think, also pay a small fee, The entire Junior Leaving work would be altogether too much for ear 'eflioient Principal although he Is willing to under- take it. An assistant capable of taking part of the work should be engaged, the more so an the present attendance would in the ooaree of a year be materially in. oreaeed, I am of the opinion that 10. stead of the school coating the town more than at present it would aotually oast lees, In addition it would bring a large increase of buaipese and save a large sem in fees and board. Regretting that 1 cannot pat the matter ae favorably on it deeervea, I am, Very truly, RATEPAYER. BELGRAVE FALL FAIR, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were the annual Fall Fair days of East Wawanoeh Agi. Society here. The weather was very threatening and told agaivat the attendance.

I,MI'1x00S0ONS REGARDING MANITOBA, To the Editor of Tim Pon' LEAN Sia, -1 want to tell your readers some things about Manitoba. We landed in Winnipeg August 10111, and after doing the city for three or fou' days we thought we would see the country and the great crop be- ing harvested there. Going along we could see binders working in every direetlon and I can tell you, Mr. ICditor, it a sight not easily forgotten. The average to the acre is net ao great as oxpooted for I have been through many fields and talked with many farmers and from what I could gather the wheat won't average over 25 bushels to the acro. In some places it was hailed out on the 23rd of June and pelted and pounded in- to the ground with hailstones and left not worth 5 cents a❑ acre in appearance, but shortly afterthere came some nice warin showers of rain. It then started up from the roots and now turns out about 15 bushels to the acre, but it was thrown back later than that not touched with the hail. It was for- tunate the rain coming shortly after the hail for had the weather been dry and hot these farmers would not havo a particle of wheat to harvest. When going through the country, a person would naturally ask himself what in the world will Manitoba do with all that wheat besides other {;rain and flax malting in all about three million acres? The oats= some places did not turn out according to appearances, as to look at the standing crop mostnelds appeared good for 60 or 70 bushels to the acre, but the runt struck meat of the late sown which did not ripen right and the wind pounded out a lot of the gram. Farmers in Manitoba do a large amount of stook threshing which 1 would count a very risky practice, for while driving through the country in some places for 10 miles the ap- pearance would be one continuous Mold of wheat shocks down to the present date, with very little of the threshing done, although the thresher's are working as hard as they can. When a shower comes on the threshers quit the shocks and go at the stacks, for SUMO farmers do all the staokiug they can. It is nothing here for some farmers to have from two to four hundred aures of wheat and it looks strange to see large fields of grain without a barn on theplaco. In gener- al the farmers apparently feel jolly on ac- count of their good crop, for it is .the best they have had since 1800, which is generally admitted was a better crop than this one, brit not so muck of it for the acreage has in creased largely since, that time. Lost year the wheat cep was a failure in Manitoba and the Fall came so cold that considerable of the pour crop was sprouted in the shook that a person would think ought to be a lesson to have them stack as much as possible instead of leaving it for weeks lender all laude of weather until the machine comes along to thresh it. The farmers have not made much progress in the line of building either good houses or barns, but when droving through the country we occasionally come across a good house and barn with the appearance of general prosperity. The weather just now IS broken and considerable rain falling, which delays threshing. JANES IooLOAa. Belmont, Man„ Sept. 25th. FARMERS' INSTITUTES. The valuable character of the work done by the Farmers' Institutes in raising the stan- dard of agriculture, and encouraging im- proved methods of farming is generally recog- nized. The report of Superintendent Creel - man for last year has just been issued by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and contains a great deal of valuable matter, em- bodying the latest conclusions of Specialiste in every department of Yarm work. It com- prises, on addition to a record of the progress of the movement, a number of addresses and papers read at Institute meetings, with ex- planatory diagrams and illustrations. Among the changes made in the system, with excellent results so far, is the transfer- ence of the lecture work heretofore carried on by the Horticultural Societies to. the De- partment the local bodies will in future hold eir annual meetings at the nearest Fruit Experi- ment Station, where they will have the bene- fit of practical instruction in grafting, spray- ing, etc. The subject of poultry has received muoh attention. Spemal poultry meetings• have beau held at which leading poultry specialists gave demonstrations as to the best methods of killing and dressing poultry in accordance with the requirements of the market. Among the speakers at these gatherings were W. 1'. Graham, Prot. A. G. Gilbert, J. E. Meyer and G. R. Cottrell, well known as poultry experts. A notable feature of the year is the striking increase in the number of Women's Institutes of which there are now 32 in operation, some of them having a membership of over one hundred. As in previous years excursions have been roar to the Agricultural College, givinu ninny thousand farmers an opportunity to become familiar with the most modern process of scientific agriculture. Action was also taken to promote the at- tendance at the Provincial Winter Pair, with the result that 1018 members, representing 34 Institutes, were in attendance. A special program was provided for Institute workers and addresses delivered by a large number oil prominent ariculturists and instructors. Seed. Fairs have been established in connec- tion with four - Institutes, viz. East York, South Wellington, West Wellington and South Grey. They are held annually in March, and the farmers bring their best samples of grain for sato or exchange. A leading topic at Instituto meetings was that of cold storage, regarding which a good deal of valuable information has been fur - n he meeting of the Experi- mental x peri-. mental Union t g g, 1 storage plant the delegates ural Colleged thg cold g, receive panni of the m b t la po cnoO0 and received an insight into the process of re, frigeration. An important step in the interest of the work was taken by the appointment of Sup- erintendent Oi'eelman to the position of assistant Secretary and editor of the Associa- tion of Canadian Pairs and Exhibitions, which will give additional opportunity for advanc- ingthe movement. ery substantial progress was made during the year covered by the report. Later infor- mation gives the total memborelup of the Farmers Institutes in ,lune last as 20,887, as compared with 10,058 for the previous year. The banner local Institute is that of Halton, with a membership of 748. The City Assessor has fixed Woodatook'e population et 9,257. This is 424 in ad. 00000 of the Dominion census. The contract for the new Canadian Northern station at St. Bonifna° has been let to Mayor Seneoal of St. Boui- faoe. The Barnardo officers are distributing in homes thronghout Ontario and the Northwest 220 ohildren who have arrived from England. Mre.
