props of that nature, bub by local sup-
port of the butter and cheese factories.
This should be clone, not for the sake of
the factory men alone, but for the eake
of the farming community. The farm -
ere themselves ask no bonuses or props,
bub simply educational facilities, in
order that they may become expert in
their buelneas. Along this line there
has been opened at Guelph a dairying
sobool, where our eons and daughters
may go to learn to make hitter eoienti•
finally. He thought the boys and men
on the farms should relieve the women,
ho a large extent, of this work ; it is
properly men's work, and should not be
saddled on the women, and butter should
be made scientifically, not by haphaz.
ard. He believed in having butter
factories in winter, and having the cows
calve early, eo that they can make
money for their owners all the year
round. It would be a great advantage
to have cheese factories in summer and
butter factories in winter, and would
bring in a great deal of money. We
should not go into this branch exclusive-
ly, however, but should have other
branches in addition. We should have
good oows, cows not adapted solely to
milking purposes, but general purpose
cows, so that if one turned out to be not
a good milker she could be fed for beef.
The great thing is to select a (proper bull.
This is the key to success. Calves can
be raised even if the milk be sent to a
factory. They can be fed on grain, with
a little boiled oll•oake and fiax•se ed, and,
if properly handled, can be kept healthy
and In good condition. They must, how-
ever, come early, so that they will be
sufficiently advanced when the factory
opens. If the cows calve early in Feb.
or March, they will give it good flow of
milk all winter if well fed, and will
more than pay their board. Our horses
are fed up all the time until sold, but if
a cow gets a little bay once in a while,
and has no other attention paid to her,
we think sheds all right.
Mr. Pollard then spoke for a few
minutes. He said that times were de.
pressing and we must study our business
well. We must study not only how to
produce, but we must make a study of
the markets as well. He could remem•
ber quite distinctly when wheat was the
staple product of the Ontario farmer,
but now wheat has got so low in price,
owing to overproduction in the great
wheat lands of the West, that it no long-
er paid to raise it here. We must pay
more attention to stock•raising and
other branches of farming. In regard to
what bad just been said, he thought it
unwise to milk a cow right up to calving
time. He let his cows rest for about 8
months every year, and thought he was
amply repaid by the improvement in the
calves. He also found it impossible to
raise (salves without milk. His plan was
to feed on new milk for two or three
weeks and then give morning's milk at
night, skimmed a little. This wo-, kept
up for four or five weeks, when h.: began
to feed a little oats, which be considered
the best feed. He had always obtained
good results in this way.
Mr. Morrison then gave a .talk on the
"Profits of the Farm." He was of °pin.
ion that farmers were prosperous in spite
of what bad been said to the contrary,
and gave a schedule which showed that a
farmer should have about $700 clear
profit in e. year off of an ordinary hun•
dred acre farm if he handled it right, but
most of those present thought be had
made hie figures too high on the profit
side, and not sufficiently high in the line
of expenses.
THE EVENING SESSION
Consisted of musical seleotione, vocal and
instrumental, addressee, etc. The
following is the program :—Instrumental
mesio on the organ, Mies Morrison ; ad.
dress, J. C. Morrison ; duett, Misses
Smith and McAllister ; address, A. S.
MoLean ; instrumental, violin and
organ, Mr. Rands and Miss Morrison ;
address, Thomas Strachan ; instrument-
al music, Mr. Rands and Miee Morrison ;
song, George Ferguson ; instrumental
trio, violins and organ, the Misses Sage ;
recitation, William Winter ; instrumen-
tal trio, the Misses Sage ; address, Archi-
bald Hislop. The entertainment was
firet•0IRSo in every respect, and was
thoroughly appreciated by the crowded
audience. All did well, but probably the
feature of the evening was the inatru•
mental music by the Misses Sage, which
was remarkably good, and would have
done credit to a much more pretentious
program. Mr. Strachan and Mr. Hislop
gave ringing addresses on topica of
interest to all farmers, and the gonial
chairman, Mr. McFadden, simply over.
flowed with humorous anecdotes and
happy little speeches.
