For this purpose .gmeat care should be Aiken to use only the best male animals' attainable. A man would be foolish to securetheservice of a50 cent maleanimal if he could get a two dollar one,oreveua five dollar -one. The calf from the good animal will do more than pay the diffek- ewe when it is two months old. Sleet the best animals and keep them well, get ri& of the poortones and do not waste food and labor on them, and above all never raise calves from poor bulls. - It does not cost any more to raise and fatten good grade animals than it does for common scrubs, and when you. come to sell you will get from $15 to $20 more for the former than the latter. Why then use scrubs as male animals for the sake of saving a few cents when y i u will ultimately lose as many dollars. . Mr. Mills illustrated his excellent a - dress from a map on which was a life portrait of the celebrated fat steer be- longing to the Model Farm, which took first prize . at Chicago, and which, 14e saidwas one of the most comple e models a a perfect animal ever show in this country. . The address brought out a length and interesting discussion, which w participated in by Messrs. John McRa Morris, Robert McMillan, Hullett Forbes, (key; Milne, Ethel; Fo sythe, Morris, McFadden, Grey, t president •and others. We have n space to give the various opinions in d tail, but the following are . the mai points brought out : 1st; That the co of raising a scrub is as great as that raising a high grade, while the latt will yield as much at two years old a the native will at three, and on, propo tionatelyIess feed. 2nd. Thatin order make stock -raising profitable none b the very best male animals should used. 3rd. That animals should bred with a view to the purposes f vthieh they are desired,—if for beef, s lect the male animal from a good bee producing family, and if for milk sele from a milk -producing family. 4t That well bred cattle of the proper cla s +can be raised at a profit, even at prese t prices. 5th. That the most profitab e o d il 11 I 0 manner to handle cattle for beef Is keep in good condition on ordinary fe until mid winter, then stall feed un the new grass comes, and finish up on pasture, selling about the first of Jun This dosed the first session, . and t meeting dosed about six o'clock. EVENING SESSION. The Institute assembled at 7:30, t President in the chair. There was a large attendance present and a very in- teresting evening was spent. After a few opening remarks a duett, " Life's dream is o er," by Miss O'Connor add' A. Strachan. Professor Mills tit gave a short address in which he show d that the farmer was the- most inclepe dent man in the country and had le care and worry -than any other trade profession. Ile thought no farm should go around in a, slovenly manner, as a farmer should have his clothes c*t in as neat a style as. anyone and there should, not be the. Marked difference in the appearance of the tiller of the sOil and1 the people of the towns. The Chairman said they were very gratefal th the Reeve and Council fr ,r the free use of the Town Hall fort the meeting. At Napanhe they had p $25 for the use of thd Hall. Miss Kerr sang " Jessie's dream" after which Professor Milis gave a mot interesting and instructive address, oc- cupying over en hour, on " Our School System." paid a high tribute to education and referred to the pest history of Scotland in this matter. In referring to the grip " of the Scotch en anything they undertake, he said a Scotchman was a man who kept the Sabbath and everything else he could get his hands era The master makes the school and 'therefore good teachers should be placed over the pupils of our country. The lecturer made a break n his address here and Miss O'Conn r and A. Strachan 8p,ng- "The Gip. y Countess." The second part of the lecture w s " What should the pubic school uncle take, and what is their aim ?" 1 hlls opinion they could do with less, detail in geography, grammatical analYsis and less mathematics: These different sub- jects were dealt with showinet'that cramming " is not educating, and that the mind could be frill as far as theory - was concernedeand yet the education be of Very little praeeical benefit The sub- jects neglected in our schools were writ- ing, composition, and in country schools tht'e first principles of agriculture. The professor gave an illustration of how 1e would teach composition, and said he b /lewd in teaching something practical ih- sted of dealing with some abstract -queation. The agricultural sobjeets be taught should take in live stock, f estry and how to beautify the hom He advocated the esta.blishing ef twel or thirteen agricultural high schools this county in which would be ,given good English ethication, then have 1 tures on agriculture, live stock, chem try, geology, the study of insects, e This was nothing more than the, Cover ment should do for the farming comm nity, aud he believed that when t County Ceuncils moved in this matter - would be attended to. Miss O'Connor sang "Ella Rhea." A hearty vote of thanks was tender to the persons supplying the music a to Professer Mills for his excellent a dresses. The meeting was theubroug to a- close. . SATURDAY MORNINC. Inetituteeresumed work at 10 a. in, a large number of farmers and othe -being present. Root Crops" ,was t e first subject taken up, and was intr &iced by Wm. Michie, of ' Morris tow ship. He proposed the following qu tions : " Are turnips of sufficient val to grow for cattle " De they exhau the ground -more than potatoes ?" preferred to winter cattle on ,roots al straw, as they would be brought to m turity sooner. A turnip crop pays far as value is concerned. He had so ed spring wheat after turnips and tatoes end found a mach becter. cr after the latter. Did not know the- r son unless chemistry was at fault. Professor Mills said phosphates valuable aid on turnip ground. 1 rence might arise fr the yield of turnips a 't thought the dit the difference potatoes. - - • Mr. McCrae —Does it follow that t nips exhaust the soil more than hay? Mr. McMillan -said hey takes 125 s. of potash—from the ground - per ae e ; teerrips 200 tbs., per acre, beans 100 Is. pea acre, and wheat 25 lbs. per acre, so that after turnips there is not the pot- ash necessary for many crops. Bar ey . is usually a, first-class crop -after r 'crop. He Td not plow deep for bar- ley, as the manure was on the !surface. Had very little trouble with flies on his turnips. Manured in the fall and plow ed then, and again in the spring, al- though not so deep. , Professor Mills adviied cultivating in the spring instead of plowing, as 4 acres could be cultivated where 1 acre could be plowed. Duncan McLauchllxi thought the culti- vator would work all. land was clea,n but it thistles so that the fin on top. John McCrae advised gang plowing in the fall and let the rain come on it, then gang plow again hi he spring. Thie kind of a plow cuts thistles better than a cultivator, as the litter spreads the thistles. Mr. Hannah gave his experience on dirty land with thistles, .wild oats and mustard. Owing to Professor Mills having to leave on the noon trai; he read his paper on" Summer fallowin and green man- uring." He said fallowing was the best Method of cleaning the ground, especi- ally for wheat. The advantages were, it destroys obnoxiouS weeds, 'exposes the soil to the air, gives the land a rest, &c. The loss of a year's crep is no argu- ment against it; as the next season'si crop almost invariably makes op thel difference. He stated green manuringt was plowing in green crops for manure, principally clover or buckwheat. Water is the most abundant ingredient as a fertilizer. Carbon is made up in the dry matter and collies from the atmos- phere. All parts, except sulphur, that will burn comes from the atmosphere. The green crop act e as a gatherer. Fertile soils contain from 5 to 10 per cent. of organic matter, if quantity is deficient plow in green crops. If farm yard manure is 'plenty this is enneces- sary. The soil needs nitrogen, phos- .phoric acid and potash. Green manur- ing improves the texture of the soil, by its gradual decay constituents are pro- duced and no other substitute absorbs so much ammonia. Its dark color adds to • the warmth of the sod and tells well on light soil or heavy .cla,Y. The best time to plow it in is when it is wet, and it should be buried deep tenough'to have it • retain its moisture. -There is no excuse for a dirty farm; ana man who has one must be farming too, much, be lazy, Or he does not understand his business. Be heaad an old farmer say the way. to care for land was'to clean it before it is dirty, feed it before it is hungry, and rest it before it is weary." •Seeding down and plowing up continually is a sure way. Opening! up clay soil is very beneficial. If you can't seed down gang plow twite or more.Sow buckwheat and plow it under in August. This very interestink paper was very freely discussed,. Robert Armstrong, John McMillan, John McCrae, U. Mc- Fadden, and others jOining_in the dis- right where the cuM not destroy soil would keep CUssion. — THE CONOUSION.

FOOTBALL.—Last Saturday afternoon a friendly game of football was played between the scholars 'of School Section No. 2, Lakelet, and the young men of the village.

The pupils made both thei goals in the first half-time, the first g�4I being made in 7 minutes. The young men did well con- sidering the little p actice they have 1 had.
