(Continuedfrom page 4) 'themselves from taking advantage of “the high prices which are almost cer- ‘tain soon to follow. Mr. Reed said that 'if any farmer had suiiicient feed to ~carry hogs along so as to have them ready for market about the first of Sept. The was willing to stake his reputation t hat he would receive such a price that 'it would pay him well to do it. Referr- ta the Dairy Cow he said that dairying \"as the moft profitable line in connecw ‘ tion with agriculture, and was particu- "iii-1y so at the present time but required keiose attention and good busniess-hke methods in regard to the cows and their production, as a poor cowâ€"one winch is not a large producer or the quality of I whose product was low~ ate up the pro- ‘fit of her neighbor who was right every way. ~ At the joint meeting held in Dickson's hall in the evening, every available seat "in the hall was occupied before the pro- gra nine commence l, and “ standing-room «only" was the word that greeted late comers. The programme was exception- ally good. the musical selections all meeting with such deserved approval that encores were necessary, and the :a.i.,iI.-esses by Mr. Rainor, on “Agricul- tural Development," Dr. Backus on “ I-Iy- ,gienc," and Mr. F. H, Reed on “:Agrieul- i'ural Eilllcathil‘-~\Vlliib it means and what it costs” held the attention and iii- terest of the audience without a break. Mr. Raynor compared the conditions in *Canada fifteen or twenty years ago with those of toâ€"day. The remarkable develâ€" opment has been due not to her gold and silver and other enormous mineral wealth, but to the opening up of the great West, which is attracting people by the hundreds of thousands from everywhere. He thinks, however, that Ontario has a heritage at least equal to that of the west. Farming methods of fifty years ago were very crude com- pared with those of to-day. There has been great development along the lines of cultivation, weed control, rota- tion of crops, etc. \Veeds are easily con- Trolied by repeated use of the cultivator :Ind harrow before seeding. Wheat is a very hard crop on the land and farmers must. turn from the growing of wheat to liv.‘ stock and dairy work if they would maintain the fertility of the farm. Clover is now taking the place of the old sub- soiiing method. Clover roots go deep in the soil and bring up the elements that are stored there. Cut the second crop of clever and plow under the sod. No nutter what the price of clover seed, the farmer who becomes a clover crank will succeed. Dairying is progressing by leaps and bounds and producing best re- suits for those engang in the business. it is increasing the wealth of the conn- 1 ry and keeping Ontario before the eyes of the world. The prizes won by Data- rio stock at Chicago and other big out- side shows was also a matter for congra- tulation. Dr. Backus Spoke of the almost crimi- nal disregard of the needs of the body in regard to fresh air, pure water, good ‘ food and proper clothing. The vei; ila tion of the living and sleeping rooms in houses, and of schoolrooms, is almost en- tirely neglected. If properly attended to, the amount of sickness in the counâ€" try would be reduced to a wonderful ex- tent. The average. person assumes a stooping position while at work or in walking, which renders about half of the lung surface inoperattve. The seats in the average school are apparently built to encourage and deveIOpe this habit. All this should be changed. N at half enough water is drunk by the aver- age person. About three pints per day should be taken for best results. Entir- ely too little attention is paid to the protection of the sources of drinking water from contamination from outside source. In the matter of food, the snea- ker advocated plain fare, taking a fling at pie, pickles and such things. Prof. Reed said he had seen more fur coats and other indications ofprosperity among the farmers of Victoria C Iunty than elsewhere. The education in agri- cultural matters necessary to produce this prosperity in many cases required many years of incessant work. The only way a farmer of the past could learn his business was by spending years werking at it. The farmer's son of to-day has the advantage of free courses in agri- culture being given at the Agricultural College, at Guelph, and at various Colle- giate Institutes throughout the province. Such a course will be given at the Lind- say Collegiate Institute from Jan. 28th .to Sept. 1st. This is a slack time on the farm and there is no way a farmer can take a more profitable holiday than by taking this course, where he will have the benefit of the work and studies of the best agricultural men in Canada, and can learn many things that ‘wouid cost him months or years of time and work if he had to find them out for him- self Oil his farm. Any farmers sons in- terested are invited to call at his oiilce in Lindsay at any time for particulars. if the young men can be got to read, think and plan, they will soon get education for themselves. The Rev. C. S. Lord. spoke a few words congratulating the Institute on the success of the meeting, which he said was the best he had ever attended, and he had been attending them for a good many years. - Those who took part in the musical part of the programme were, Miss F. C. Brandon, violin; Miss lrene McDougaii, Miss E. R. M. Bryans, Miss Alice lland, solos; Mr. W. McDougaii, violin; Mr. John Parrish jr. solo. Miss Fiossie Graham acted as accompanist for the lady soloists. ______-_.-â€"-â€"_-.~â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€"â€". The extravagance of the rich does n't help the poor. When the rich man pays ten dollars for a bottle of choice wine, or a like price for some other luxury, the money so paid does not go to the l workers, but it goes to other rich men, who have the luxuries to sell. The work- ers get but a few cents for the labor of production and the Iriviegc cf eater- ing to their “superiors”; that's all. They remain poor, though the lords spend millions.
