The meeting of the Farmers' Insti. tute held in the town hall last Thule - day was well attended, At the after- noon there were nearly two -hundred interested pigeous present and in the evening this slumber was much increass 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 far as ean be seen it has no brain, eau. not see, but is very seneitive to light, 'amphibeous,but will die if exposed to a hot draft of air ; smelt, not developed, sense Id touch very sensitive, cannot hear, can work only In a fair degree of moistere ; they burrow almost perpen- diculitrly stoma, at the bottom of which irs a cell. the walls of which will retain their position for years, They inc beneficial,,In that they act asit drain to the soil, afford free access to the roots, and allow the air to penetrate the soli ; bring up fresh soil frona be- low. in Great Britain it is estitriated that they bring up. 1-5 of an inch of soil every year.
