ed. Tbe presicient, County Councils
lor Snell, presided on both occasions,
The speakers in the afternoon were ;H.
Glendenning of Manilla, A, Elliott of
Galt and A, McD. Allan of Goderich,
Mr. Glendenning, who spoke fleet on
"Feeds and Feeding,"which, he said,is
it subject that should interest the people
of the province more than anything
-else. There are it great many, who
think farming is not nearly so prat,.
able a business as it was years ago, but
on a great many lines it farmer can
make money to -day that he could not
twenty-tive years ago. Compare far-
mers with manufacturers. .A.gricaltur-
al implements are not nearly so expen-
sive to -day as they were years ago.
We may almost say that the prices. are
cut in two. Manufacturers still sell
their goods at a paying profit. Every-
thiug he requires m manufacturing his
goods is cheaper and so he can sell at it
greatly reduced price and still make it
good rate of erode We must dp the
same thing. We must endeavor to get
out a first-class article a,t a small price.
The products we raise on the .farm
must be used to their greatest possible
advantage. Scientists have discovered
the foods which are required for each
part of the body, and by careful
feeding and by having a warm 'stable
none of the foods need go to waste. It-
is a prime requisite that there should
be a balance of rations. Certain foods
produce bone, certain others muscle,
some are best adapted fpr productng
heat, while others again produce en-
tirely fat. Oats are the best bone pro-
ducer, but not a very economical food,
as it generally commands too high a
price. Peas is the Canadian hog food
while corn is the American. Peas is a
better muscle former than corn, but
corn is it better heat producer. Neither
peas nor corn give you the best value.
Nothing is lost if it proper amount of
each is used. For cattle,peas mid straw
work well together. Barley' is a fair
food, but it is not much of a fat produ-
cer. Rye and peas also make a good
mixture. Bran is an excellent food for
young stock. It is it good bone former.
Good, new ordinary milk contains 87
pounds water and 13 pounds solid. It
is admitted by everybody who has
investigated the subject, that the very
best kind of toed for a hog is milk, as
it contains all the elements of perfect
food. Farmers, however, do not feed
pure milk, it is too expensive. Now
comes the question of skim milk. It
is a very dangerous food for hogs, but
if mixed properly makes it very good
food. Skim milk and peas work well
together. Whey is a safe food but not
an extra good one. Carrots are thought
to be a good food, but really is the
pnorest of all the roots. It lacks the
muscle producing element. Potatoes
when fed alone are not very good.
To get the best value out of the pota-
toes they should be boiled. . Butter-
milk and potatoes are an excellent
food. If you have a cold pig pen it is
better to boil the foods.
Mr. A. Elliott's subject was "Clover
and Clover Hay." He spoke of its
value as a food for stock and also said
about 90% of the atmosphere was -
nitrogen and there was CO cheaper
method of abstracting it from the
air and storing it in the soil than b
clover. We can'tgrow too mac
clover and he preferred the deep root-
ing kinds though he had no cast iron
rule as to variety. He would sow
several kinds and if one failed another
would he a success.. Those not wanted
could be ploughed down and he con-
sidered their value as a fertilizer far
greater than their cost. He gave
his method of cutting and curing. Hay
could be taken in when quite damp
with its own moisture,but never when
damp from outside causes ; never
take it in too dry. Always buy the
best seed.
Mr. Allan spoke on fruit generally
and strongly advised the cultivation of
the orchard, if not with the plow with
sheep or hogs. Sheep were better sca-
vengers than hogs as they always
picked up imperfect fruit. A cultivat-
ed orchard produces more and better
fruit than it allowed to run in grass.
Fruit, said Mr. Allan, should he pulled
when it is ready not when -the puller
is ready. It should not be allowed to
remain on the trees until about to fall
off. Much damage has been done the
trade by shipping away imperfect fruit.
He thought it should ' he packed as
carefully as oranges and in much the
stone nianner. In the evening he
advocated the planting of flowers and
shrubs as beautifiers of borne. School
grotmds should be beautified in this
way as it had an educative effect upon
the young.
At the meeting in the evening
Mr. Glendenning spoke on the
"Farmers' Vegetable Garden." 'Before
branehing oat on the subjeet Mr.
Glendenning urged farmers ad' plant
more trees on their properties. He
said the first thing necessary for a
garden was a good piece of ground.
The garden should be large, and if
possible a long one, so that t could be
worked with a horse. The , gaiden
should be at least one third of an acre. '
A garden must be dry, and if nab -'-it '
should be drained. He planted his
rasberries, gooseberries, etc., iu 'rows •
eight feet apart with three feet between
each bush. Strawberries be ' planted
in rows four feet apart and from
twelve to fifteen inches between each
plant. Have your garden fenced Well
enough to keep out everything from a
ben to it horse. Plow in lots of man -
sire and cultivate well. Mr. Glendern
ning plants hi -potatoes five inches
deep and every third furrow and does
not hill sop. Never cover tomatoes
with A. tin pail or iron pottto protect
them from frost or rain. Newspapers
are good things to Orotect potatoes
from frost.
Mr. Elliott gave a very interesting
a,ddress on "Earth Worms and Their
Relation to the Soil." Worms are con-
stantly at svork pulverizing the soil,
forming what we call "vegetable
mould." ' The earth worm, or more
commonly called, fish worm, is in di-
gestive economy like a chicken ; aa
