East Huron Farmers' Institute
(By our own Correspondent.)
A meeting of the East Huron Farm-
ers' Institute was held in the town hall,
Wroxeter, on Thursday, 22nd instant.
There was a fair attendance of farmers
and others, though not so many were
present as there should have been. On
the meeting being called to order about
2 o'clock p.m., Mr. Jas. Edgar, Howick,
was called to the chair, and after a few
remarks by Mr. A. L. Gibson, Prof.
Robertson, of Guelph, delivered a most,
instructive lecture on the Cow and
Dairying. The professor's subject is one
in which he is very much at home and
he accordingly treated it in a masterly
manner. He pointed out four character-
istics of the good milk and butter cow
of whatever breed, viz. : (1) fine hair
round and close to the eyes, (2) wide
between eyes and horns and also be-
tween eyes, (3) long connecting line be-
tween udder and body and (4) high hip-
bones projecting upwards from line of
back. Cows ehould always be treated
gently. Chasing cows with dog would
in his opinion lessen the flow of milk by
14 cir 15 per cent. In feeding a cow
meal it was best to sprinkle , it on straw
or hay that had been dampened so that
it may go into the paunAh and come
back again to be chewed and thus re-
ceive a more thorough mastication and
digestion than if the meal were eaten
dry and taken at once into the stomach.
Two full feeds a day were better for a
cow than keeping fodder always before
her, as she was thus given an opportuni-
ty to rest and ruminate. On an average
a cow could eat a ton and a half in 100
days. Sliced turnips were better than
pulped, and if fed pulped they should
be mixed with cut hay or straw and al-
lowed to lie a day or so until a slight
heat sets in, in which condition they
were more easily digested. Cows in
winter should get water, more than once
a day and then it Jhould not be
cold. The professor stited that a farm-
er in one of the Western States engaged
in stock -raising had recently changed
his system of managing stock and was
now making money where before he had
only made a living, and substituting
warmed for cold water for drinking
purposes was one of the changes he had
made. Cleanliness in the stable was
most important. A cow breathing im-
pure air had far more work to do in pur-
ifying the blood and consequently far
less energy to expend in making milk
than if she breathed good air. For
summer feeding Prof. Robertson recom-
mended Indian corn of the mammoth
Southern seed variety and other kinds.
It should be planted in rows about three
and a half feet apart, the rows to run
north and south. Farmers generally
made the mistake of planting too much
seed, 2t bushels per acre being the
usual thing, which was just two
bushels per acre wasted. An acre
that would produce a ton or sa ton
and a half of hay would as easily grow
from 9 to 15 tons of fodder in the shape
of corn. Corn could not be grown too
early. Three freezings, in the spring
would not do it the same amount of
harm that one freezing in the fall would.
In the evening, Mr. James Elliott, of
Turnberry, was voted into the chair,
and was accompanied on the platform by
Mr. Wm. Bishop, of Grey, Secretary of
the Institute. Songs were given by
Messrs. G. F: and Thos. Gibson, Jr.,
and Prof. Robertson addressed the meet-
ing on "What I saw in Denmark "and
"Agricultural Education.' The Hall
was well filled, and the audience listen-
ed with great attention to Prof. Rob-
ertson's excellent lecture. In the course
of a few remarks the chairman deplored
the small circulation which agricultural
papers, and other literature, bearing on
farming, had among farmers generally.
He did not think that one farmer in ten
took an agricultural paper. The meet-
ing closed with votes of thanks to the
performers, the chairman and Prof.
Robertson.

it could not be done in time to have the
election take plac! on the day fixed
upon.

LIVERPOOL, March 28.—We are not able to re-
port any advance this week, but are able to say
that prices are firmer. The consumption of game
and poultry of all kinds has enormously increas-
ed of late in England, and as Continental ship-
pers find that when it is sent here in large
enough quantities to be sold cheaply theta is ab-
solutely no limit to the quantity they can dis-
pose of, we must for the future be prepared to
face larger supplies not only of cattle and sheep,
but poultry, and it is becoming more and more
evident every day that we have before us a
pretty certain outlook of low prices. We have
had very small shipments from Canada and the
United Stated la.tely,and last week supplies from
the Continent fell off, but yesterday and Monday
they came in heavier, and rather heavy supplies
are on the road here. We can only repeat the
advice we have given for some time past, and
ask Canadian shippers in their own inter-
ests to be as moderate as possible with the
quantity and as near first-class as they can be in
the quality of all the animals they send over
here.
The Toronto Horse Market.
Everything has been very quiet during the
past week in the horse market : what little de-
mand has existed has been at extremely low
prices. On Tuesday between f, rty and fifty
heirses were sold at auction, at Grand's reposi-
tory, at prices ranging from 8901to $150. Among
the sales were:—Pair b. gs'., 5 yrs.,15.3 hds,
$305; b. g., 5 yrs., 15.3 hds, 8130 ; ch. in. 4 yrs.,
16 hds, $126; b. g., 5 yrs. 16.1 .hds., $140; br.
g., 6,yrs., 16.1 hds, $144; b. g., 6 yrs., 16.1 hds.,
$125'; b. g., 4 yrs., 16 hds., $130; 14. m., 4 yrs.,

THE NEWS
Of the remarkable cures made by use
of the A. B. C. Remedy, fly far and
near. Here is another genuine testi-
monial. Read it, and then try the
medicine.
A. B. C. Remedy.
WALTON, Dec. 21st, 1837.
Testimony for A. B-. C. Remedy.
To I. V. FEAR, Druggist: I had been troubled
with lung disease for over a year. During that
time I was constantly wasting away, and tried
several doctors who could do me no good, but
told me I had consumption, and was to take one
thing and another, and I was almost giving up
when Mr. Dynes told me of the great cure that
had been made on his wife by the A. B. C.
Remedy, and recommended me to try it. I did
so, and the first dose sent a new life and strength
through me, and .sli,efore the first bottle was
finished I was a new man—hearty, healthy and
stronger than ever. 1 have recommended it to
several persons since, and in every ease it has
been effectual in stopping the coughing, spitting
and wasting of that dreaded disease. To every
one I cheerfully recommend Fear's A. B. C.
Remedy. JOHN STAFFORD.
