(By Our Own Reporter.) . t, The first meeting in the second series 01 meetings of the South Huron -Farmers' in. atitutb was held in the township hall of Stephen, in, the Xillag,3 of Croditon, on Wednesday, February 24th. The hall is a subs.taD tial brick building, .well-finighed and comfortably seated, and has plenty of light. There isl also a good platform. This is the first meeting of the kind that has been held in Creoliton, but will not likely be the last, as farmers in that vicinity t%ke a deep inter- est in such meetings, judging from the large number who attended. each meeting. A � very pleasing feature was the number of young, men present and the interest taken by them in the papers read and the discussions on the papers. Owing to the absence of some Of the speakers the morning's pro- gramme had to be slightly varied. How- ever, the vacant places were ably filled by the gentlemen present. In the absence of the President, Mr. W. Buchanan, of Hen - *%It, was voted tathe chair, who, after a few words -explaining the object of these - meetings, introduced the first speaker, Mr. John Hannah, of Seaforth, on PROYITABLE DAIRYING. ­ . In dairying, a. great deal depends upon the treatment given the cow whether she will yield large quanti-ies of milk or not. Of late, the chiet Object farmers have had in keeping cows was for the calves they raised and accept the milk they give as a little ex- tra instead of trying to make the cows give as much milk, as post,ible, and thereby in- crease the profi6 from this branch of the farm. Some: parts cf the province receive mucligreater return- from their cows than Huron. This should nol, be, as the farmers of this county have every opportunity in the way of soil,, climate and cattle. In order , that a, caw may give plenty of milk it is necessary to feed well, and about the same food should be given for the making of milk A% for fatteniniz. The better the cow ia fed . - - the grea,t.er will be the -quantity of milk, and the better the qtimlity. If fed good rich food,, and plenty of it, during the winter, the cow will give bRtter milk. during the sum- , mer. A, small ration of grain, with .straw or bay, is. a good food during the winter. A great deal depends upon the care. given the, cow. It does not pay to let the cows out in all sorts of weather. A cow does not need much exercise. If the stable is extra well veritilatcol it is not necessary .that they should be let out at all, &a -they gain much � more by being allowed to lie down and chew the cud, than: by standing and walking around. It is a great mistake to take cows ont in the cold to a trough filled with ice to water them, as their systems are thus thoroughly chilled by the cold water and it takes so, much more food to gain up again. At a very 4ttle cost an arrangement can . easily be gotten up in the stable so that it will not be necessary to take the cattle out- � RiAe at all, and at the game time give them waUr at a normal temperature. In milking, keep track of the amount of milk. given, and see if by better feeding and better care you cannot increase the quantity and quality - , sdoo. In this. way much more money will be made from the cows. Do not let the cows run dry. as soon as you stop sending milk to th% factory, but keep on milking, and in this way get her into the habit of milking ton or eleven months each year. Dairy cows should milk at least ten months of each year. If heifers are made to drop their calves at two years old, they will make bet - if ter milkera, 1 properly taken care of, than . � if the cat -vex are not dropped until three years. In feeding, 9ways mix the food. If you have only -one kind of grain, oats is'the best to feed, although mixeA graine are better. AFTERNOON SESSION. When the afternoon session opened there was a much larger attendance, and in a short time the hall was comfortably filled. The first speaker was Mr. McNabb, of I Elgin County, on . . SHEEP, TREIR CARE AND MANAGF.MINT. Sheep, breeding is as important a factor as there is in farming. The number of sheep in this Province is entirely too Email for the quantity of farm lands, there being an xverage of only 3 sheep to every ane -hun- dred aGra farm: in the Province. A flock of 12 sheep is not any too large for a 1,00 acre o -raising no extenoive build- ings are required. A shed well weather boarded will be suflicient to house them all winter.. It .is not good to. confine them tc-o ci'logely'L They are a most profitable animal, as they yield two crops in a year, a crop of � wool and a crop of lambs. In an ordinary flock there will bean average of 1. 5 lambs per.ewe, and an ordinary ewe will realize $9 a year. Another point in their favor is that there is no disease whatever among L I sheep in this Provin Co. They will also de- stroy many obnoxious weed a in pastures whiah, other animals will not eat. They not only eat, the tops, but also the roots, and are the best of scavengers; particularly are they valuable in the destruction of Canadian thiath-s. The only dramback is.0je- danger of their destruction by dogs. Mr. McNabb is of the opinion that when sheep are killed by dogs the owner of the sheep should re- - ceive the full value of the sheep as remaner. ation from the council, as the amount re- alized from the pelt and mutton. is very sma"ll. The management of sheep is made up of small matters, and a little attention to the arnAll matters will result most profitably. � It is a good plan to put the lambs on pas- ture aft,r they are weaned. Alvvays keep your ewes in good condition, as when they � are in, that state they are more liable to have twin laxaba, than when in poor condition. The bcat time to have the lainbs come is from the middle of March until the end of April, and then by the next winter, which is the moat pr(tfitahle time to market la,mbs., they will be a good size and will , realize much. more. When lambs are a,bout six weeks old they should be castrated, as they witl rem,,xin in much better condition on less food when castrated. In breading,use noth- ing but pure-bred rams, as their continual use wil.1 increage the produ%;t of lambs and the quantity f -f word. Pen up the ewes be- fore putting the ram with them, and a good . And profitable plan is to clip them behind, thus aiding the ram. While the ram is in service feed a Uttle grain ration, as he Nvill have m are ener4y and his lambs will be . thriftier. Befo're letting the ram in with the ew,.s p�iiut his breast red and renew every t,Ao or three days and then with blue, and you will in that way be enabled to-- tell j,ua.t how he is doing his work. Do not al- low your sheep to be out in cold rain#, for as soon as this is done they will lose coudition, and a much greater quantity of food will be neceFsiitry. A good feed for early winter . mouths, is good pea straw mixed with a little grakin. LetL your sheep run out if they wish and never pen up closely. Before coming in to lamb increase the grain ration. Don!t feed awes roots before lambing, but they make good food afterwards. At all times. give the sheep all the pure water they will drink. They can do without it,. but if it is given to them they will be much thrift- . . � : I I � i . ___ - - � I ier. Docking lambs ismore �esseutial lamb with a long tail is neithbr orna nor useful.
