A SUCCLSSI`UL ISt:EETIM4.
The annual meeting of the East Huron
Farmers' Institute was held in the Town
Hall, Brussels, on Wednesday afternoon
and evening of this week. President
Thos, McMillan in the chair. There was
a representative turu•out, constituting•
many of the leading farmers of this
looatityas well as several ladies.
President Mo101illan's opening remarks
were oonaiee, praotiaal and enaonraging
and referred to the good work carried ou
by the Institutes, Experimental stations,
Women's Institutes, &o., and then intro.
duced the program marked out for the
meeting, - -
"Summer feeding of mflob oowe" was
the bopio of Mr. Sleightholm, of Strath-
roy, this gentleman taking the place of
Mr. Meyer, who was unable bo bo present
owing to the -burning of his residence.
Mr. Sleightholm fa m practical dairyman .
and was several years with the Govern
rent Travelling Dairy. The speaker
thought . -cows did not receive a large
enough supply of proper food in Summer
and as a oonsequenoe the milk supply
fails and it is next to impossible to restore
the failure that season.. The milking
season may be lengthened and the off.
spring of cows allowed to go dry early
will not out-doher mother. Was epeak
ing from an exi,erieuoe of 15 years in the
business. Grass often does not hold out
in the Summer and advised Bowing a
oath, peas, tares, barley or anything of
that nature as early as possible in the
Spring. This mixture will grow rapidly,
yield well and should be near at hand.
Would sow twine and if not all used as
green Reed can be out at maturity for:
feed afterward. Sow' early maturing
corn but don't feed until the tassle is
grown. This will take cows through the
Summer' stage. Flies and heat also tell
against keeping up the supply of milk
and the percentage of fats is greatly re-
duced, and the•sameie tree as to ill•uea5e,
dogging or anything that interferes with
the nervous condition of the cow. Stab- -
bling cows in the Summer • time is the
best method of overcoming the -disadvant-
ages outlined. With proper feed the cows
will be more thrifty. The heat of the
Sommer is also obviated by keeping miloh
'lows in the stable. More help on the
farm would be necessary. In the die-
ouseion bran was suggested as an aid.
Peed coxa both whole and out and mix
grain with it.. Turn cows out at night.
Recommend ensilage, it does not taint
milk nor cheese. Did not think ensilage
hart cows' teeth. Watered cows morn
ingand night. Man els and rye are also
g g Y
good feeds, .the latter is likely to taint
butter. Quite an interest was manifested
in this important topio and those taking
part in the discussion were Messrs. Speir,'
Gardiner, Smillie, MoTaggart, A. Stewart,
Snell, the President, Garvin and others.
Mrs. Colin Campbell, of Goderioh, was
next introduced, and spoke first on the
Women's Institutes,, whose object is not
to secure the franchise but rather to pro-
mote the best interests of the home or
farm. 33 such institutions are naw or-
ganized with a membership of 1,600 and
large and infloeutial meetings have been
held.A rant of 10 will be made

Co. Council. . "Household Economics"
was Mrs. Campbell's subject and was
handled in a clever mannershow by
marked contrasts and illustrations. She
referred to the site, dwelling, health gis.
ing locations, ventilation, decoration and
the desirability of doing away with un
necessaries es tending not to the beauti•
fying of the home. This was the first
occasion on which a lady addressed an
Institute meeting in Brussels aud Mrs.
Campbell's praotiaal style of dealing with
her subject was inebruotive to both the
ladies and gentlemen present. Mrs.
Canipbell afteward had a that with the
ladies in the Council Chamber when a
branch was organized.
G. 0. Gaston, of Oraigbnrat, was the
next speaker and dealt with the subject,
"Problems of the Soil." Spoke of the
advantages of Farmers' Institutes and
the benefits of being aseooiated with its
membership. The soil is the farmer's
working capital. Agriculture is a wide
subject
and alife tlmacould be spent
In
its study. The formation of the soil is a
most iuteresbin snbjeot. How to retain
the fertility of the soil lea query of in •
barest to every farmer. Nitrogen is the
principal of most importance, potash and
phosphoric: acid are also essential. In
Nature's labrabory the plant food is wort.
ed from a crude state to an available pro-
duct. Must have heat ,and moisture in
this work. As we are able to control
Nature's foram so will our success be en-
sured. Deep plowing in the Spring is
almost a forgotten art es this work is
done in the Fall. Vegetable mould . as
well as fertility has been worked out of
our soil. Gang plowing in the Fall is
good in destroying weeds soma of which
will live under the soil for 15 years but
Minnow cultivation will prove fatal
to many of these pests. Cultivation of
the right character will supply the proper
Beed bed. If we oat double our produo•
tion we would be great gainers, Mr. Cas.

Don't be afraid to plow down the clover,
and will aid largely in the development
of better trees, better fruit and better

his theme and oasually dropped many
useful hints of general interest, His
farm is in Simooe, County and he pays a -
good deal of attention to small fruit.ouiti•

Salt sowing was reoommeuded in dry
seasons. Short rotation of crops was
recommended. - Salt was likely to cause
the laud to paok and many were quitting
sowing it. Arbifieiel fertilizers were bet•
ter than Bait although maugels .wee the
only °rep that profitable results were
attained from actual proof. A : 8
year rotation will do away with the wire
worm. Corn growing opens up the whole
question of Agrinalture. Can finish (tat-
tle better on old than new pasture. Tim•
othy helps clover thicken up in growth.
Would not sow orohard grass for hay but
would use it in permanent pasture. Or•
chard grass can be grown on low land if
well drained.
"How I built my silo" was taken up
by Mr. Caston. Ile advised building
them round, air tight and smooth with
stone foaudabion. 10 feet in diameter
and 21 feet deep is size of speaker's silo.
His was under cover in the barn. Tub
silos or those of concrete construction
were discussed. One of the form•
en, 18dx80 feet, will cost 5115 plus the
man's own labor. A concrete silo about
the same size only costa about. $150
Corn keeps as well in concrete as wooden
silos.
A canvas was made for members and

EVENING SESSION.
The evening 080000n opened at 7.30
o'clock by the President giving a short
address. He referred to the question of
Education in its broadest sense and home
life and his words were full of wisdom.
He is evidently the right man in the,righb
place as President.
An instrumental duet, violin and piano,
by D. Ewan and Mre. Geo, Thomson.wme
given, and roundly encored.
"Training boys for business" was Mr.
Sleigbtbolm's topic and was well handled.
Training should be like education, the
drawing out of the boy's mental and moral
qualifications. The idea of the speaker
was to have the boy brought into contact
with the business world Bitch as buying
and selling, attending markets, exhibi•
Mons, &a. Train him upto use moveY
as well l as sten it. Has•beens are not
wanted nor are to he's bat an "ieser" is
the boy wanted: Teach him reliability,
strict obedience, to sit down and think,
and to deal Y
squarely with the world.

The young people should profit by Mr.
Sleightholm's address.
Mies Alice Thomson sang the Sootoh
solo, "The ?Jamb of the Cameron men,"
in good style and as an encore gave -
"Cocain' thio' the rye."
Mrs. Oolin Campbell's eubjeot was
"Bread and bread making." She dealt
with the 'subject by reference to wheat,
good flour and good yeast whioh are in-
dispensable to best breadmaking. How
to mix the dough was referred to and the
necessity of kneadingwas pointed .'oat.
How to test the oven was explained and
how to take oars of the bread after baking
a Pe
likewise. Mre. Campbell madpleas-
ing io reference to"Home had' home mak.
ing." She recommended the teaching of
necessary rudiments of practical affairs
in the pnblbo eohool,. Mrs. Campbell eon.
eluded a meet excellent address amidst
rounds of applause from the large audi-
ence. She oertainly did wall.
An instrumental was rendered by W.
Ramie and Mrs. Thomson and a response
given to the enooro.
Mr. Caston gave an address ou "The
land we live in," and in the half hour at
his disposal Bhetolled the growth and
development sinoe the aborigines roamed
the forests down to Mile period, He gave
valuable information relative 'to . aweeds
omptered by Oanadiaos at the World's
Faire and showed the possibilities of the
future in our cheese, butter and eggs,
stook, fruit, 80., in foreign markets.
The advautages and wealth of Northern
Ontario ware called up and a good base
was made out for Ontario, the banner
Provinoe of this Colony. • In oonoludiug
Mr. Caston recited an original poem in
reply toKi ling
sL dY of the Snows"
m
whioh be showed that RudY acd's title was
a misnomer. He said hie poetry might
not bo as good as liipling's but it•was equal
to that written by a young man to hia best
5101 whish ran :—
"If you were a dog
And I were a hog,
And I got into your father's yard, .
And your father were to set you at me
Would you bite me very bard ?"
The address was a good one and should
rim ad• i n and
stimulate Uau Ian e 1 a d love for
the land of the Maple.
Before rendering the closing oeleotion
of mesio by Mr. Ewan and Mrs. Tlicm-
sou, a vote of thanks was passed to all
who had oontribnted to the program,
whioh was responded to by Mr. Caston
and President McMillan.
