To the Rano): of Tim )?OoW, Dealt Sm, -As I had heardduring the last few weeks ao moth about the little Mowat, the big Dryden, the expensive Provincial farm and the ooughiug calf I was bound, even if it should cost mo a brand new dollar bill, that I should see for 'myself what the overseers of our Province were doing by of.bsnofitbing that great and noble olass, of which I. pride myself to be (though only in a one. horse way). a minor ono, the Ontario farmer. "Well, last Friday night when Maria Jane came out to ,where I woe busy singling turnips with Tarn Pon in her hand and bold me there was going to be a cheap trip all the way from Kincar- dine to Guelph next morning, I at once *taw down my hoe and'threw up my hat and although I could have worked twenty minutes longer before it would be dark, I started across • the fields to tell Levi: Levi, you 1mow, though he is a great Tory is never -the -less a good churn of mine. We both declared wo would go bright and early to Brussels next morn- ing, So morning found us dressed hi our beet, I with Maria's new silk handkerchief half out of my pocket and Levi with a great big bouquet of poppies and yellow xoses in liis button' hole and a varnished willow in his hand. The train was on good time and we jumped aboard.. As we were getting on Levi said Josiah yolk sit on oneside and I will sit on the other so that if there is anything to be seen on the way we can . see it and get the worth of oar money. I thought that this would be a good plan and as the„sun was shining through the left hand windows I let Levi. sit on that side , because I was sure he would not look ao niuoh at the scenery we passed through as he would at any pretty face he might see inside. Well, after we left the large fields of cows in Perth Co. we did not see much of note • until' we ,reached the neighborhood of Palmerston. The farmers there seem to 'lie growing short oats; bare pasture, thistles, mustard and daisies. Palmers- ton seems to be quite a railroad centre. We stopped. twenty minutes there to al- low, those who had to leave without break- fast from Western stations to get lunch. One . gentleman told me the had to drive thirteen miles to Kincardine station be- fore day. After leaving Palmerston we did not see anything unusual unless the beautiful little village d£ Drayton and the Wellington Co. Poor House, a fine large stone structure on the right and near Guelph. As the Conductor went through the train shouting Guelph I looked for Levi and found him flirting with two Misses of fair faces who bad shipped themselves aboard at Atwood. I saw I was forgotten for the time so took a cab to the farm whore I arrived about twenty minutes to 12. As we approached the College we we met by Prof. Mills, who had but short- ly .before received word of our coming. He was not at all pleased with the G. T. R. officials for not giving him timely notice of the excursion. However be did not fail in want of courtesy in any way to make it pleasant for the visitors. He showed us the different divisions, boun- daries and places of note on the farm then placing us under care of the gentleman who has charge of Grain Experimental Department, while he himself superin- tended the preparation of lunch to whioh fro requested us to return within an hour. To desoribe this department wouldrequire an abler pen than mine and more know- ledge than I was able to glean within the hour. There were about 40 aores set apart: for the testing of different kinds of grains, 'grasses and roots. We wore first shown the barley of which there were some twenty different kinds all on plots of equal size, (1/100 of 1 acro) fertility, 'cultivation, &o., i&o. Then wo were brought to the oat plots. They have 81 different kinds of this grain ; some of the leading kinds are tested in different ways. For instance they have twenty varieties in drills of 100 counted grains per drill and the same varieties in plots of 1/100 of 1 acre each. The varieties are tested with regard to length of straw, stiffness of straw, weight of grain per bushel, bushels per acre, power lof withstand- ing rust, smut, &m. In wheat, they have varieties believe from all wheat growing countries of the world. With regard to pea tests I was interest - ea with one namely, a plot' sown by good whole seed, a similar plot sown with worm eaten seed and a third of same size sown with broken peas. The let was a good crop ; 2nd appeared to bo about $ of a: crop .while the split peas were in the ratio of 24 to 100 comparing with the good -seed. This;test was more interes- ting bo me from the fact that I have heard some say split peas grow thicker than the same quantity per more of whole ones, which was certainly proven to be a Wee theory. All different kinds of roots aro also tested in different ways, especial- ly with regard to olosonoss together. They find that carrots for instancepro- duce more weight per acre if allowed to grow say from 1 to 2 inohes apart than if grown thinner. I will give one more test with regard to potatoes then we will . go to lunch. Thie test consisted of 1 drill planted with largo whole tubers, 1 drill of small bubefs marble sized, 1 drill of cut sets of ordinary size, 1 drill of single eyed sets and ] drill of oyes, alone,. that is the eye cut out as small and thin as possible had planted, The rows so far show that the whole large onepproduce the strongest; thickest vine the ordinary and single eyed sets about the same but the lithe fellows are far far behind, The vinoa poor, sickly looping things. Now for lunch. We were requeebed to gather together about 1 o'clock in the students' gymnas- ium where Lunch would be served, This consisted of ham sandwiches add such sandwiches (if the ham was obtained from the 'Tamworth swine ellen 1 mush say. their meat tastes much better than rho animal looks) buns, biscuits, cheese and tea. A very good lunch subplied.by the College and appreciated by all present. After lunch we visited the museum whioll contained nranong other things ferent kinds of mallet wild animals staff- ed showing some that p7,rove'thomsolves anemia of the farmer, Alsot the different kinds of Ontario birds stuffed. One thee contained those that are intectivorocis, another of a gramnivoroue nature, rte. 'Then there were different kinds of plants amongst which were different Made of weeds more common fn the Province, There were other (hinge of a morn curious nature but not of so ranch importance from a farmer's standpoint. We thea visited the hot house which consists of six large separate apartments in which you might almost say everything of the vegetable kingdom were representd aud int different ' stages of 'development, From the hothouse we .visited the beef herd which consisted of cows of the l:Iereford, Devon, P011ed,Angusand Durham breeds. The Short Hornell, or Durham, in my opinion, baking the lead. Going towards butter and cheesehouees we looked through the stables on our way. Really it must be a pleasure for each animal (if an animal is capable of deriv- ing pler en, o from. its surroundings) to tomo within sight of its own stall. I have often been in the homes of people both in town and country that had not nearly so clean and wholesome an appear- ance. Each stall, all the floor and ceil- ing are wade as white as lane and white- ing eau make them oaoh day, we could not see a vestige of anything even in the manger and some passed the remark that nothing had been in the stables since Spring but just then one of the cattle men came in with a large barrow of bran of which he put about,* gallon into each box and said that every cow was tied in for milking twice oaoh day. Here then was an object lesson for each person owning a cow or cows. We were met in the dairy by Mr. Mills who gave us a good many practical poin- ters on cheese and butter making. He told us the way we all made butter was nob ins wax at all. 1st, That cream of seven or eight days with oream of three, four or five days and mixed with cream of one or two days age oould not, even by the most careful butter maker be made to yield its full amount of butter as some was boo ripe while the other was not ripe enough to part with its butter fat at the right time. He showed its that with a separator (which he said all farmers hav- ing 8 or 10 cows should possess) milk newly milked could be made to yield its cream at once and should before it even got cold and that in this way only could all the butter and the best butter he ob- tained, such a separator posts about 91.25. He then showed us a test they had just made with 300 lbs. each of two different qualities of milk. The first 800 lbs. of milk contained between 3 and 4 % of fat ; the and 300 lbs. contained between 4 and 5 % of fat and snake a cheese 5} heavier than the 1st 300 lbs, proving that it was an unfair way of all patrons of factories to be paid by weight for their milk as one patron'a mills would be richer or poorer than another's consequently would make_ more or 1,oss cheese. After we heal seen through the various rooms of the Dairy we then ascended to the top of the college building from which we could see the whole city of stone Royalty below ns. It being between 4 and 5 o'clock now we slowly wended our way.city-ward where we spent about two hours looking at the town sights from a countryman's eye glass. We all then boarded the train for home and the :outside world. I enjoyed myself as I often do when in a crowd by getting in a corner and watching themany different shades of humanity that go to make up an excursion. As we werenear- ing home I again bethought of neighbor Levi and found him in a brown study. After a little I thought I would see what he thought of the day's sights and exper- ience. And as we had been talking on our way to the station in the morning about the calf I asked him what he thought of her. He instantly replied she was a trump, I said, she was so, such a head, such fine hips, such a dandy tail and pretty ears but judge of my amaze- ment when Levi was going to strike me for what he called my insolent remarks about lila friend as be called her. You see, Mn, Editor, while I was talking about the calf that had the cough bo was think. of the lady who mashed him on the train. Josrarr. Brussels Council.

BEAVERS YS, 1)l1O'PSUOTS, To the editor of Tina Pose'. Doan Srit,--The following clipping; from the Lneknow Sentinel, mien to the Moreau: gams between Seaforth Juniors and Luoknow, in Bra- •ole, on July let : "At 9:80 the teams lined up when it was seen by the blindest observer that Sea - forth bad made some enlarged changes in the team from that whiob they played in Lucknow on Queen's Birthday. More- over the "Referee” (7) was anything but fair in hie rulings, The game was to have been ,played for a limited time, but the smart Referee called game at half Urns. Our boys make no kinking, bat their friends and supporters do." I . do not want to use much of your valuable Space but merely wish to point out the unfairness of this report of the game. As regards bbe enlarged changes in the Seaforth team it makes no difference, as the team that played Lnoknow was en- tirely Junior with one exception, us the Seniors played in Goderiob ou the same day. In reference to the referee, I gan- net understand how the Lucknow people think him unfair in his decisions. You know, Mr. Editor, as does every person who was on the gronnd, that the referee did not stop the game at half time, as the Lucknow players themselves bait the fisid after Seaforth had scored 3 goals. The time agreed to play was l hours, andif we only played 9 of an hour, (whiob is halftime) and scored 8 goals in that time, the Luoknow players should be filly convinced as 10 which is the super- ior team. The Sentinel says in ooncluei- on that the Luoknow boys "are not kick. ing." 3' would simply say that they must have obanged in that respeot very sudden- ly. The reason, we did not see fit to play with Lucknow in the afternoon wail' simply this :—We do not import players from other towns ourselves and we oon. eider it dangerous to play with teams who do, especially when the imported players have bets on the game. Yours Truly, BEAVER. Seaforth, July 11,'94. SERMON TO ORANGEMEN. Last Sabbath morning Rev. W. G. Reilly preached a very practical and elo- quent discourse to the Orangemen of Brussels and locality in St. John's church, He took for his text, Heb. 13th chapter and 9th verse, "Be not carried about by divers and strange doctrines." The preacher said :—Text an Apostolic warn- ing against false doctrine, literal meaning being with teachings various and strange be not swept away. From the very name of the letter we know it was addressed to Hebrew Christians who had been convert- ed Mom Judaism to Christianity by the preaching of the Apostles but through Af- fliction and delay of our Lord's coming had relaxed their efforts and like their ancestors in the wilderness whose appeti- tespalled ou the manna from heaven so their spiritual appetites palled ou the pure Gospel and they were in danger of being swept away by [livers and strange doctrines. They yearned after the pomp aud show, the ceremonialism of the past. We go back to the time of Moses and find men. offering strange fire ; we go forward to the Epistles and find the words "Know ye this that in the latter days perilous times will come." We find Ohiist in the great sermon on the Mount uttering the words of caution "Beware of false prophets." St. Paul in speaking to the Ephesian Elders says, "0f your own selves shall men anise speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them" and St. Peter in bis and Epistle says, "They shall bring in damnable heresies." These things tell as that in Apostolic clays there were divers and strange doc- trfnes aid will be until the end. Speak- ing generally the church may be divided into two parts—Romanism and Protest- antism—and while I do not say the latter is entirely free from error, for cases have arisen in the past, Protestantism pro- tests anti' protests strongly against the divers and strange doctrines which are part and parcel of Romanism so much so that the whole church is polluted and thoroughly corrupt and contrary to apos- tolic and spiritual religion set forth by Christ and His apostles and given tons in God's Word written. Wby are mon Ro- manist and why Protestant ? Is it not in too many oases because their fore- fathers were Romanist or Protestant and know but little of the fundamental differ- ences between the two systems? Here the speaker pointed out Mao difference between the Nicene creed of 325 and the creed of 1i,onauism of Dec. 9th, I504, pointing the divers and strange doctrines which hall inept into the latter and not contained -in the former. Since above dates two new dootrines had been added vizi—The Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary in 1854, and the Infallibility of the Popo in 1870. Protestantism pro- claims the Bible the sole rule of faith. The 61h article of the Church of England says "The Holy Soriptures contam all things necessary to salvation. Roman - ism makes the Bible and tradition the joint rule of faith. Protestantism pro• claims Justification by Faith in Christ alone as a nears Of salvation ; Roman - ism, a perfected sacramental • system. Protestantism proolaims the sole and ex- clusive xclusive Priesthood of Christ ; Romanism converts the ministry of the church into a body of saorifioingand mediating prioeta, Protoebautism proolaime the real presence of Christ by Faith in the hearts of worthy recipients, of Holy Communion ; Rom- anism changes bread and wine into body aud blood of Christ. Protestantism teaches the church of Christ—the Holy. Catholic church—a universal congrega- tion or fellowship of God's faithful and elect people built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the thief corner Stone ; , Romanism, a holy Catholic, Apoetolio Roman church, the mother and mistress of all churches and brands all without her fold as aposbatce and heretics, Are, not thoee fundamental Sifforeuoes ; are not the linos clearly enough drawn ? Are not the dootrines in which Rome differs ftom Protestantism strange and per. JULY 18, 1894 verse dootlines against which we protest, against which our forefathers protested even to martyrdom'? A tree is knowu by its fruits aud we Have only to look at the countries in which Protestantism and 7.'ioinenism holds sway to see the differ. thee, Compare England aud Germany today with Franco and Italy ; or coming nearer home Probeetant Ontario with Romanist Quebec and see the marked Contrast, not only in the religious life but in politics, the field of eduoationandliter- ature, Romanist countries are weak,' ignorant and priest ridden; Protestant, strong, progressive and enlightened. Our mother country has been a great battle- field between the two systems, in whiob attention is called to three or four points, When Rome sent over St. Agustin and 40 monks to plant her church in Britain here was the first battle between Protest- antism and Romanism upon our shores. St. Agustin demanded that the British clergy should submit thomeolves to the Bishop of Rome and the answer was "We owe subjection to every Christian man but the subjection we owe is the subjeo- tion of love and if more be demanded let it be known that we have Bishops of our own to whom we will submit our- selves and we will not submit to the Bishop of Borne." The 2nd battle was the Reformation in which the same principles were at stake. The 8rd was the time of James II when Wm. Prince of Orange 'Came to their rescue. The prac- tical point is the conflict of to -day on which the reverend gentlemen dwelt was the encroachments of Rome and the ne- cessity of Protestants being alert, united and standing by the principlev. Quota- tions were made from the Foram on an articles "Roman Catholics and American Patriotism,is there to be a conflict," show- ing the reasons for the fears of thewritors Reference was made in closing to the growth of the Order during the past year and practical advice offered to the Orange - mento stand by the principles of Protest- antism and withstand all the encroach- ments of Roman error.
