With regard to the objection that there would be illegal selling under local option, Mr. Real contended that there is more illegal selling now, under license, than there would be under local option, and read a newspaper clipping in which were re- ported three infractions of the law for- bidding the sale of liquor to persons on the Indian list.

The meetings of the East Victoria Farmers' and Women's Institutes were held at Fenelon Falls on Friday last, as advertised, and were'well attended. In Dickson‘s hall in theqafternoon Mr. D. A. Mackenzie, B. S. A.,'of Lindsay, was the first speaker. His subject was “ Breed- ing and Feeding.” Shorthorn cattle re- ceived the bulk of his attention. What the average farmer required, he thought, was an animal that was a. fair producer of milk and at the same time could be kept profitably for beef, and to get this we had to come to the Shorthorn. The Cruickshanks had gone in for beef and early maturity. They had got these, breeds. At the Fenelon Falls fair he had seen some good grade cattle that approached closely to the type required. % deweirg â€"All the latest styles. 9 As tlao feeding, Mr. Mackenzie said an " ,., _ . 1 anima intended for beef was either é’é $5§V5§5fi_luany new Pattelns- made or spoiled the first year.

Fall calves to Show you_ often do better, as they get better care, there being more time to attend to them in the winter. Years ago we used to make the calves eat up the strawstack. We are getting past that, but hardly fast enough. We do not grow roots enough, nor clover hay enough. Corn is good. The silo goes far toward solving - .. the problem. Speaking of unfinished E stock, Mr. Mackenzie said he thought it a mistake to send unfinished animals out of the country. We have the stock and we have the feed. If buyers can ship these animals, feed them and make a profit, the farmer who sells them should V; be able to make a profit by finishing the stock right on the farm. But they must be fed properly and be finished properly, or top prices can notbe obtained. Mr. Mackenzie reiterated the statomont'that the first year's care is the all-important thing. Roots take a lot of work. He would rather take care of a field of corn and silo it than half the acreage of tur- nips. Alfalfa is a. splendid feed.

Webster had told him that when with lid W was iii ii i {3 i " Efa ll is" as... he stopped feedingall‘all'a his cows went ‘ down in their milk, and when becom- menccd feeding it again the milk flow _, increased.

One mistake made in feeding was that when animals were tied up in the fall they were fed too much grain on the start. The rule should be to feed roughage first and in- crease the grain gradually. Do we make our cattle good enough? the speaker asked. Compared with beef cattle he had seen abroad, we did not. Experts tell when a fat beast is finished by feel- ing the root of the tongue. That is the last place an animal lays on fat. If he is fat there, he is finished. Mr. W. C. Shearer of ' Bright was the next speaker. He dealt with “ Rotation of Crops and Selection of Seed.” Re- garding the former, he said that plans were sometimes knocked out by failure to get a catch of clover, but that did not trouble him now, as he had discovered how to work things so as to be almost certain of a catch. He then went into details of his three, four and five year rotations. For a'th rce year rotation for dirty land he used corn, barley or oats and seed down, and corn again. Culti- vate the corn thoroughly. Do not plow down the corn stubble, that is the trick. Some weed seeds will stay in the soil fifteen or twenty years, and plowing brings them to the surface. One man at an institute meeting told how he had grown corn for three years in succes- sion to clean a field, but when he seeded it down he had as many weeds as ever, and wanted to know what to do. He was told not to plow. Five years afterâ€" wards the speaker saw the same man at a meeting and asked him how the adâ€" vice worked out, and the farmer said that the afternoon he put-in at that meeting was the most profitable time he had ever spent in his life. He ran 'a three years rotation after that. Mr. Shearer is now practising a five year rotation and likes it. In plowing up sod. he plows five or six inches deep, after October 15th, putting on the skim- mer. He sows shallow. If plowed deep, the tubes go too deep, and seed is wast- ed. IIe rolls before sowing, and in front of the tubes. It takes less seed. He barrows same direction as the drill. He runs the drills east and west, for the reason that in the heat of summer. one row shades the other, and the clover is protected. Of late years he has been seeding everything whether intending to plow or not next year. Years ago they used to think they had to grow wheat, but at 600. a bushel and middlings $21 per ton he decided to quit it. Now they grow oats, barley and flax, and considered it an excellent mix- ture. One year they had 00 bushels to the acre. Flax is good feed and in the field holds up the barley when it begins to cripple. Mr. Shearer has a summer silo and thinks it OK. It cost $68, and he is sure he gets $68 of value out of it every summer in extra milk. ‘ This milk makes first-class cheese. ' Regarding seed selection, he cleaned his seed three times, to get the plump, large grains. , If he had fifty bushels, and needed only 25 for seed, he would put it through the fourth time. He se- lected his grass Seed by the price-â€" always bought the dearest. He does not grow alsike now, because he considers it to be the source of the perennial sow thistle and other bad weeds. At the evening meeting the subject of Mr. Shearer's address was “Successful Agriculture.” He said that hard work and close application were necessary in any line I to make a success. Education was needed, and as not more than ten per cent. of farm boys got beyond 'the common school, it was important that none but the best teachers obtainable should be engaged. Farmers should plan and figure closely, in order to pro- duce as cheaply as possible. Everything on the farm should be arranged to save time and labor. A, good team saves the time of the driver. Keep good stock. One farmer of Mr. Shearer’s acquaint- ance kept twenty cows and received $600 from the crealnery; another with the same number of cows received $1,000, for the season. Miss Campbell of Brampton gave an address on"‘Woman’s Influence in the Home.” Miss Campbell thinks woman should be “ queen of the home,” and can do more good there than anywhere. The presence of women on school boards would have a beneficial effect in im- proving the ventilation of school build- ings and making the premises more attractive. Miss Campbell deplored the prevalence of profanity, and said our law makers were legislating in all direcâ€" tions, but neglecting the greatest thing, the character of our boys. A good musical programme was pre- sented, in which the following took part: Miss Patten, Miss Granger of Lorneville, Miss Brandon, Miss Kathleen Twomey, Miss Alice Hand and Miss Ruby Austin. Mrs. Dr. Gould, President of the W0- men’s Institute, made a few appropriate remarks at the close of the meeting, and Mr. W. H. Cullis, President of the Farm- ers’ Institute and Chairman of the meet- ing, made announcements in connection with the Christmas Fair, the winter course in Agriculture, and the Poultry Show, at Lindsay. It is proposed to combine these three events in future, and have a fair similar to the winter fair at Guelph each year. The Women’s Institute held a very successful and enjoyable meeting in the afternoon in the Orange hall, at which Miss Campbell spoke on the subject ofl where She has been visilin labor saving devices in the home, and home management; and also a demon- stration in needlework. Some good sam- ples of needlework were exhibited and examined by those present. BAPTIST Gunmenâ€"The pastor will preach on Sunday.

Kendall had -a very narrow escape from being killed last Friday. He was drawing out manure, and did; what a great many teamsters are in the ' habit of doing, stepped on to the pole of the waggon to get the lines. His feet slipped off, and he fell down behind the team, and the wheel of the waggon came against his head in such a way as to cause several very bad bruises and cuts. Dr. D. Gould of Fenelon Falls was sent for and put in nine stitches in one cut. It will be two or three months before Mr. Kendal will be able to attend to his ’ many duties on the farm, as he was very badly injured. Miss Myrtle I’owles won a $450 dollar piano in the Witness vet-ing contest, and has been the recipient of many congrat- ulations from her friends. _ 0-.
