Ross was glad to hear the praise bostowul on the Farm. but: he felt that the Minister ot Agriculture wasJustifl'ul in resent. iug the unjust criticisms of home of the opposi. tion.

He re. membered the time when an attainments made to defeat the Government simply because of its establishment and conduct of tho Model Farm at Guelph. Now, the " sensible and solid" men on both sides ot the House said note word in opposition to the Model Farm. but rather wanted them all over. It a Model Farm were run on proper principles, and so that it might do good, it could not be expected to pat expenses. and he thought the day was gouoiy when it was to be discussed on such a basis. The Dominion "dttporimentat Farm did not pay expenses. Ho thought it would be gratifying to the House to see that the Govern- ment was this your only asking for a grant ot 83,000, in addition to the receipts of the Farm. to curry on the work of the 550 acres connected with the Uuelph Farm. Whether it could ever he made to pay entirely or not he could not say. licthought it improbable. Regard- int: tutuiltw etstublisumentsintru, United States, he pointed out, that in only two States of the Union was there more than one of such in- stitutions. The exceptions were Georgia and Mississippi. and in these States tho bulk of the Work was done in one, of the institutions.

At present, of course, the people in the eastern portion or tho Province had the advantage of the Dominion Experi- mental Form. lie was quite sure that" the farming community of the country should in thettettrfutui'u considernn extension of the Model Farms necessary to their interests. the House would deal liberally with them.
