Friday, August 28th. 1908. The Agricultural Courses in Lindsay Collegiate Institute. During the last ten years, with little increase in the area under cultivation, the output from the farms of Ontario has almost doubled. This increase has been brought about by the introduction of better varieties of crops, by care in sc- lccting and planting seed, by adopting better methods of cultivation, rotation of crops and soil renovation by the use of legumes, by the use of more horse power and better machinery, by the raising of more and better stock, by tile draining the land, and keeping account of farm operations. In short, the in- creased production is due to the increas- ed knowledge which farmers have con- cerning the best methods of farming. This information has come largely thro’ the Farmers’ Institutes, Farmers’ Bulle- tins and agricultural papers. This eduâ€" cation of the farmers has been a slow process, for very few of them ever thought of studying agriculture as boys, and it was not until they commenced farming for themselves that they really commenced to study what was to be their life work. , Toâ€"day our farmers' sons have an op- portunity which their fathers did not have for securing an early education in agriculture, in all that pertains to the best methods of farming. The agricul- tural course in the Collegiate Institute offers a thorough course in practically every branch of agriculture; it does more, it oil'ch a broad general education. With the agricultural subjects the stu- dent will also take the English, compo- _ sition, grammar and literature, the his- -t’ory, geography and arithemet-ic of the regular Collegiate course. The course in agriculture includes stock raising, the growing of farm crops, dairying, the formation, care and management of a dairy herd, agricultural botany, a study of the plants of grains, grasses and weeds, farm book-keeping and farm management. Under live stock is taken up a study of the different classes and breeds of animals; breeding, feeding and judging of farm animals. This work is made practical by visits to the best stock available in each class. Also in connec- tion with live stock a course is taken in veterinary science, taking up the blem- ; ish and diseases of stock with methods of treatment. Under “the growing of crops ” is included a study of the vari- ous kinds of soils, the movement and conservation of moisture in soils, the chemical requirements of crops and the use of manurcs and commercial fertil- izers to supply these requirements, the use of rotation of crops and various , methods of cultivation in destroying weeds and increasing soil fertility. Also under this heading is given a course in tile draining, the benefits of tile drains and their cost. The boys will be taught how to survey a piece of land and map out an efficient system of tile drains, stating depths, grades and size of tile required. In connection with the study of dairying, the students are taught how to use a Babcock tester and how to keep a record of each cow in the herd, a most necessary part in the building up of a good dairy herd. Agricultural botany is one of the most interesting subjects of the course. Pressed specimens of all the worst farm weeds are placed before the students, together with the weed seeds most commonly found in grains and grass seeds. The method of erad- ication for each weed is carefully studied; This subject also includes a study' of the root system and habits of growth of all our crops. Some time is also devoted to 1: study of horticulture, the planting, pruning, grafting and spraying of orch- ards, and the growing of small fruits and vegetables. In the study of book-keep- ing and farm management an effort is made to induce the boys to adopt buSi- ncss-Iike methods in looking after their own small expenditures, and thus to learn the advantage of accurate and systematic records- of' the various farm operations. ' ' , ‘ The agricultural course in the Colleg- { , late is completed in two years. The ob- 1 ject of the course is to give to the stu- ; den-ts a thorough practical knowledge of ;_the best methods of conducting farm op- erations ; to teach them how to make farming more profitable, how to grow larger and better crops on the the aver- age farm, and at a vastly greater net profit per acre. With- this purpose in practi- cal as possible by liberal use of mater- i-ll‘ustrations; by stock judging, and by use of experimen- tal plots for methods-of growing crops. Man y farmers." sons in this county have this summer- passed the entrance- ‘anll‘lllll‘ttlon. These boys are still too young to do very much on-thefarm, and now is their. opportunity of a lifetime for securing an. education. For these boys andfor the older boys, who may V have been out of-school forafewyears, this coursein agricultureat the colleg- iate offers agol‘den opportunity. A year. or two spent in,the collegiate will be of ill-calculable. benefit th rought their .whole lives; Mr: Reed, the agriculturaliteach- or in collegiate, will be pleased at. any time to give full Information. concerning the course. either to, boys, who may. be thinking of. attending the collegiate, or to their.parents.

Green and Mitchell, placed at three mills. John J. Thurston wished to know if the council would fence the gravel pit they had from him, or convoy it back to him. On motion of Green and Brooks, it was decided to transfer the pit to Mr. Thurston, provided he agreed to fence it, and to sell gravel to the municipality at the same rate as is charged for it in other parts of the township. A committee of the county council, Dr, ' Mason, warden, J. R. M cNeillic. clerk, T. Watson and Taylor Pal-kin, who had been met by reevc Tiers, addrCSSed the council as to an amicable settlement of the proportion of cost of maintenance re Emily creek bridge, and also the costs already incurred by the township. The warden spoke briefly, and Mr. McNeillie concisely stated the position of affairs. While this was now a county bridge, recent legislation allowed the two municipaliiics to agree as to cost of maintenance. Mr. Watson proposed that. if Vcrulnm would assume the ma‘in‘tc nance of the approaches, or solid struc- ture, the county would build a new bridge with cement abntments, and as- sume cost of the structural portion for all time. The committee supported this proposal and left it to the council, as they had to catch the train. Mr. McNeillie paid $75, the share‘ of county stone crusher, Vcrulam having purchased a crusher of its own. , On motion of Messrs. Mitchell and I-Ietherington, it was decided that coun- cil do not feel justified in accepting the county proposition to Emily bridge, and will stand by the judgment.

The clerk was instructed to advise the treasurer of the withdrawal of Mr. Robertson as surety, and request anoth- er in his place. v1 Mr. Hctherington made a statement as to the cost of setting up the crusher. He had.‘ received $30.72, and paid out $29.63, leaving a balance of‘ $1.09 in faâ€" vor of the municipality. Mr. Brooks explained that he overran his commission about $45, and would like a. special grant for that amount. The crusher took more than he expect- ed, and he had so many path-masters overrunning the amount appropriated; many had exceeded it from $1 to $7.
