1HB FARM. Attend Conventions.- BV JAS. W. OBKIBO!, DlKYOmHIWION From convections ot farmers I derive much assistance for the carrying on of toe public work which has been committed to my cars ; and, as far as a speech or article of mine can be made a venicle, a servant and a nuurisher of thought, 1 will very willingly minister 10 my brother farmers Let me specify a few of the aspects of real service that come to the dairy and agricul- tural interests from annual conventions. A store of information is provided for all who come and for all who will read the reports of proceed' 114*, Every member who can, ought to contribute something to the general fund of knowledge. The fund of available information of a re'iable and helpful quality is sometimes more scanty than the financial resources of tlie Association or Institute. The discussion* which these meeting, call forth define into clearness many questions an I injects of dispute, which before were risible only through the u/.mes and mist of i >i perfect knowledge. The qualities of enthusiasm which these conventions inspire in the breasts and evoke from the lips and h in Is of the farmers give greater confidence in the capAoiliuesof their own business, and moreuope in the future of their opportuni- ties an 1 country. The enjoyment of these are often th j best part of a man's or a nation's capital Among those who are actively engaged in promoting co-operative dairying, it is very important that confidence in each other should I* created and m untamed. In t'-lligence .-an grow into a full co-operation of dairymen in Ontario, by which their -on- certed action can enable them to belter their circumstances in every respect. The con- dition of the farmers on this whole contin- ent -more so, perhaps, iu ths I'uited States ih\n here threatens the honor aud peace of the nation. ->uch gathering, as here recommended will help to rescue farm- ing from its rather discreditable condition. Farmers as a class, are easily discouraged ; and they have been discouraged beyond lesiiui during recent years, by being assidu- ously directed to view their competitors with alarm, and to contemplate their wan- ing influence on the markets with rising anger towards somebody, or something, or somehow, which l. variously named "the other classes", " the other interests", " the trusts", " the combinations", " tre govern- ments" or " I'ro.nlence". Now. the enlarg- ed an<l improved carrying facilities of the world have made competitors out of pro- uucert who are far removed from e*. h other by geographical location. The bnller-maker in New /.-aland has become next door neighbour in competition with the creamery butter rntker in Ontario. This world- wide competition isan integral part of the develop- ments o! modern civili/itnm. It was not brought about by the will or doing of any one mind ; and the farmer, like all other men ha', butter adjust his practices to th- new conditions than waste hi. tune trying tn bring the old regime back. However, while he has lost amtrol at one sod of his business while the influence of the nidi- vi. lutl ou the market end of the business has been decreased he hss gamed control at the other en.l ot his business in a rn ire than compensating measure. Increased knowledge, new appliances \nd improved metno.ts have brougnt the st of produc- tion more and more under his control Prof- it always arises from the difference between the cost of production and the market price thai in ty be obtained. If the latter . .until now l>c raised Dr enlarged at will, the former can Iwi lowered and reduced by in- Ii .Mgeui mbor and management ; ami ihe profit may .till be as great, aud may br made t<> depend on that safer and more con- tn>!lab!e factor the home end of the busi- ness The more time a farmer taken to at- tend farmers' conventions, called to discuss his own business, the more thoroughly will he be equipped to enlarge his profit in the manner which I have indicated. Many men voice their unwisdom ill saying that they have no lime to attend conventions. II '* would a farmer be rated whosiid li<- bad no time to plough or cultivate hi. mil T For successful agriculture, the mind, as well as the field, needs to be stirred up to receive seed, iu order that its harvest may be matured and reaped. If you wi.l go bock through all the materials, processes and products that are coming in excellent qnal.ty from any farm, you will timl l<ehiinl theee things, as an essential to their ecoii'nn ical product i m, somcliodys clear think- ing and somebody's good management. The agency whereby the farmer i. enabled tn exercise tlie.e functions -clear thinking ami .kilfuland economical management -is his own mind. The harrowing up in a meeting witb his fellows will kill RiUlitudeso! - and provide for the growth of n-:nu>ierati\e crops.

Heap the Building Painted The season for painting is again at hand, and if yo:i have your house painted in modern colors you should change the shade of ths foundation C'dors, at le:tst at the next painting. It will cost no more, and you perhaps will le be'.ter pleaseil. One thing is certain, it will look different, and those who see it every day, or occasionally, i will know that ym have repainted the building. Set, tor the country and a coin- m. Hi, plainly constructed house, there is nnttiing superior to white with green blind*, i It is quite a durable color and looks neat and tasty, and during the winter season the green blinds offer a pte.iing contrast to the beautiful snow. If a ho4*J is painted t-vo good coats of white it should last ten years at least, but ' iu the meantime the green blinds will have badly failed and should receive a coat of paint every five years, and it will take a ctoae observer to tell whether the whole building was painted or not, *. the green , gives the w;>jilo structure an appearance of newness pleasing to the eye. For common, plain work it is i.ot necessary to employ an experienced painter, Int you can do the work yourself or let the hired man do it, as most men can handle a pa ut bruvi with considerable skill and like to do it for a change. The outbuildings should be painted with a red, drab or brown color. 'J he greatest ex pense is for oil, as any of tbe m paints in dry form can be obtained at from two to three cent, per pound. Raw linseed oil is cheaper than l...i!.-.'. not dry st- itticklv, leaves a better |(lvs and is more lasting, but does not preserve the wood as well as does boiled oil, which penetrates deeper and aii*> as a preserva live. When u.mg any of the dry paint! they should be thoroughly mixed, and stir- red up frequently while applied. Add oil and color before the bottom ot the paint bucket is reached, or the building will look streaked after six mouths if too much of the sediment is applied. Many practice painting ths wooden shingle roofs of building., bnt it is question- able about its being a paying investment. To our eyes it does nol add to tlie ornamen- tation of the building, and unless applied very evenly noon looks streaked and cheap, and on high building, with steep roofs the operation of painting is a dangerous one. In practice it has been proven that if shin- gles are dipped in oil for half their length, ! and allowed to remain in it for halt an , hour, they will last longer than if painted every few years. Before dipping, the shin- gles should be thoroughly seasoned, and will then absorb nearly a gallon of boiled oil per thousand. Tin and iron roofs should I* painted, unless previously galvanized, and even then in a few years painting will be necessary f o.- preseri anon.

The worsi part of it is that this ' excess is all wasted as it i. worth practical- ly nothing in manure. It is carbon aud the air is full of carbon. If an excess of proteins, or muscle form- ing food, were fed, it would ba worth ni' irly as much in the manure as a fertilizer as it is for food. It contains the nitrogen that makes commercial fertilizers so costly. i The bye-products are helping us grow bet- ter animals stopping wasteful feeding and ; enrichening the manure. If all of us cannot grow oats and other grains rich in proieine, we can purchase bye- products ot factories, and balance the rations for colts, calves and p.gs. The demand for them will in- crease as we learn more of the profit to be gotten from feeding a little of them with corn and hay. Brains Verso* Mtucis. t and accus- tom him to eat it from there.
