• _education in the several branches
.'at will fit them to become good. prac-
ti. al farmers. In the case of some
there is deficiency in thn ordinary Eng-
lish branches, as they are called, and
hence it is -found necessary to giae sone
instruction in them. But the chief
work is in those natural sciences which
are connected intimately with agricul-
ture, and in what is technically known
S,S theoretic agriculture. Special atten-
tion is also given to practical instruc-
tion, which -is explained and illustrated
by daily week on the farm and in the
garden. The veterinary department is
hot intended to make,regniar surgeons,
but to -give all the students a knowledge
of animal economy and disease which
will enable them; to ;treat ordinary diffi-
culties and to judge When it is necessary
to- call in the aid. of a professed. veterin-
arian. In like- manner, the hortionl-
tura' department, is not intended to
train professional nurserymen or gar-:
deners, but to give such general know-
ledge onthesetopics as may enable a,
farmer to grow fruit, vetetables and
flowers to the bestadva,ntage. There is
also instruetion given- in mechanical
tvork, not for the putpote of producing
builders or carpenters, but to. give some
idea of the various mechanical jobs
that need to be done on a farm. The
idea is recognised. that a good. farmer

, AT THE FARM.
Arrived atthe farm, the visitors were
courteously received by the Principal,
Kr.. W. Johnston. , A substantial tuna
was spread for them, in the spacious
dining hall. After lunch, the visitors
strolled all over the farm, observing tlae
stock, the grains, the vegetables, the,
buildings, etc. From the reef of the
main building a magnificent prospect
was gained of the country in every di-
rection, which appeared to the best a&
vantage in its spring dress. Everybody
seemed pleased with the surroundings,
the experiments, and. the stock; ana
the practical yeomen were loud in their
praises of the Management and ap•
pearances. At 3 o'clock an assemblage
was convened before the building, and
some time ,was spent in speech -raking.
President Johnston occupied the chair,
and delivered On excellent address. At
the conclusion of the speaking, the fol-
lowing resolution was proposed and
- unanimously carried:
" We, the undersigned. committee on
behalf of the Grange excursionists, 'beg
to express our satisfaction with the
manner in which the Ontario School of
Agriculture and Model Fenn is con-
D-aucted. We have . had much pleasure
in examining the experimental field,

to find everything in such perfect order.
And we hereby tender our sincere
thanks to Principal Jehnston and his
staff for the courtesieS and kindnesses
extended to us on this; occasion."
