East Huron Fanners' Insti lite.
;I
The second meeting for this sea on of
the EWA- Huron Farmers' Institu e was
held at Wroxeter last week and Watt a
every saccessfui and profitable gathering,
The weather was cold, stormy and un-
favorable, but the attendance was good,
many farmers coming from long dis-
tances. Professor Robertson, of the On-
tario Agricultural College, and Mr.
Shaw, of the Live Stock Journal, 'repre-
sented the foreign talent, and both
gentlemen read excellent paper and
!
'took active and intelligent part n the
discussions. An entertainment c nsist-
'leg of music, addresses, &c., was held in
the evening and was largely attended.
This was a. particularly intetesting
affair, as both music and addresses were
good. . -
RAISING CALVES.
At the Institute meeting, Mr. Robert
Currie, of East Wawanosh, intrOduced
the subject of raising calves. He said
that different methods of feeding ehould
be followed according to the p rposes
t.
for which the , calves were int rided,
vithether for grazing, a dairy Cos, or a
"high priced thoroughbred. If the calf
was intended for the show ripg he would
force it as much as was consistent with
a good shape and rapid growth, but if
t for the common grazing animal, batended
i to go to the shambols at 2 or 3 years, he
I,
i would. advise putting two calves with
f: one good milk . cow and let them run.
E Mr. Currie contended that this system
t produced calves much more valuable
' than the common practice, and as cheap-
ly and that it saved much troUble in
•
milking the cows and feeding the calves.
The speaker was strongly agaiost the
butter and cheese factories when raising
good valuable calves was any object in a
system of farming. Mr. Ba.rton, _ of
Turnberry, maintained that any calf,
after six weeks on new milk, cauld be
raised on a ration consisting of equal
parts of oats, peas and barley with a
little flax. One dollar's worth would be
sufficieot for a calf during the season.
Professor Robertson said that it was his
o inion that for a. calf which had been

a gradual change extending over two
weeks should be made from the new
milk to the dry feed.
FEED FOR COWS.
Professor Robertson gave the follow-
ing as a good ration for cows during the
winter :--3 Ms. bran, 5 Ms. mixed barley
and oats, 8 Ms. of hay with 30 lbs. of
rnangoids for one day. This contained
the foods most desirable for a cow and.
in the praper proportion to produce
health, vigor and a good flow of milk.
11e also advised a regular supply of salt,
which should be accessible to the cow
at all times. Care in this respect im
proves the quality and increases the
-Row of milk.
PERMANENT PASTURES.
Mr. Shaw was strongly of the opinion
that we had no grasses which would
supply fit pasture duriog the scorching
sun of the latter part of July and the
beginning of August and recornmended
the. growing of tares, peas and ; oats for
this period and corn for late in the fall,
sowingthe corn in drills. The follow-
ing mixture of grass was giveo as suit-
able to the average soils : Timothy, 4
blue, 2 Ms.; English rye 1, meadow 1,
and yellow oat lbv
.; cloerse-small red
2 tbs., large red clover 1 Th., and 'alsike 3
Ms. per acre. This must not beexpected
to last for any period of time bet it will
probably be necessary to plow up after
two years of hay and two years of pas -
tore, as then some of the grasses will be
run out and wild varietiea ap,pear.,

CO N s E RVATIV I/E*SISA TIO N.—On
Friday evening-, last the was one of the
largest crowds in Eeeter that has been
seen for some time. The Demonstration
was in honor of Timothy Coughlin, M.
P., for North Middleeex, and Robert
Porter, M.P.,for West Huron. Speeches
-were delivered by Mr e Fred. Johnston,
Goderich ; E. Sydney Smith, H. A. L.
White, 11. Fred. Sharp, St. Marys;
Tin athy Couehlin, N. P., North
Middlesex; Robert 11.orter, M. P.,
West Huron, and other. After the
speeches in the roller skating rink, the
members and guests, of whom there
were about oae hundred, took part in
a banquet which was .prepared at the
Central Hotel and Which was magnifi-
cent in every respect. Among the
number present at the banquet from a,
diatanee we noticed R-ebert Porter, M.

Morris.
TOWNSHIP STATISTICS.—The receipts
for the township of Morris for the year
1886 amonnted to $19,116. Of this
amount there was received from the
.Provincial Treasurer on account of the
Land Improvement Fund the snug sum
of $5,382 and from inunicipal taxes
$11,873. The expenditure for the year
amounted to $18,865. The following
are smile of the items which made up
.this amount. Interest on railway debt,,
$1,353,; county rate, $3,803; offices'
salaries, $664 ; schools, 4,271;$roads
and bridges, $1,398; charity,, $59.
It Would seem from this last
amount that there are ' not v-ery
many I poor people in the town-
ship I of Morris. It will also be
seen that the year was closed with a
surplus $11,675 in the treasury. It is
well for municipal authorities to exercise
economy but it is not always wise to
have economy at the expellee of effi-
ciency. The public roads in the town-
ship are in anything but a creditable
condition. In fact there are very few
townehips in the county now with such
poor roads as Morris. The council
seems to have an abundance of money,
and it would be in the interests of
economy and of the ratepayers to put 'on
a little more gravel and thus enable the
people to get out of the mud once in a
while.
DtATI1 OF A WORTHY CITIZEN.—When
Geo. H. Moffatt, who died last month,
passed away this township lost one of
its most worthy inhabitants, a man
universally respected by all who knew
him. The deceased was born in Had-
diston County, Scotland, aru.d came to
' Morris in the fall of 1853, having spent
one year in the Genessee Valley,New York
state, and took up lots 51 and 52, con-
cession 1, Morris, which he cleared and
farmed. 1 He also owned lots 51 and 52,
concession 1, Turnberry, making in all
200 acres. He never took much part in
municipal or parliarrientaey affairs, al-
though he was a staunch Reformer and
weil. informed on the , subject. Ever
since the East Huron Agricultural
Society was founded he was a Director
and manifested a good deal of interest
in lagricultural matters. In 1855 the
subject of this sketch was united in
marriage to Miss liamilton and from
tended to, and executed in the latest style. H
ing made considerable improvement in our show
room, we can now exhibit our immense st ck
to advantage. This season we have a very rni4ch
larger stock of Miliinery and Millinery Mateeial
than has ever been shown by us at any former
period—eclipsing our very best efforts. Our
steak embraces quality, style and quantity, and
-while returning our sincere thanks for est
rirs

patronage, we remain, ladies, Yours Obedien ly,
