The proceedings were not opened promptly, and previously \a conversation ensued which was instructive. A number spoke in favor of a more general change of seed than takes place. One of the causes of the failure of the potatoe crop during the last two or three years was believed to be the failuie to change the need as often as should he done. It was thought it would be beneficial to obtain seed grown on a different soil to that in which it was proposed to plant it. The price of potatoes was now suf- ficient to make it a very profitable crop and more care might be well bestowed upon it. Mr. Mackie gave the Eastern township method of growing this crop, and stated that it had answered Well With him. It shoIJd he triezl by others Mr. I). Lick's opinion resimctiug the value of corn culture Was endorsed by those who and tried it. All land isnot fitted for corn growmg, but there is a good dc-nl of Inwierately light soil in this section where it would prove the most profitable crop that could be grown. There an» farmers who have grown it for a quarter ofa century, who say they have' never had it fail to ripen, and Wlwre there. has brcn a failure it arises from the cultivation and not from the climate. There cannot be much doubt that com can be grown cheaper than it can be imported. Not that a bushel of corn can be raised cheaper here than it can in the \Veeteru States, neither can wheat, but the value of the stalks as feed and the good :ondition in which it leaves theland together with the freight more thai. make up the difference. The great drawback is the iabor that is rm quired to cultivate it. This labor ought to be supplied from the villages and towns. There are a number of idle boys hanging about the streets of every village who, with advantage to them~ selves and profit to the farmer, could be employed on this work, and it pro- per means were taken to get them and oversee, them they ought to be had.â€" Os/tawa Vindicator. l l Mr. â€"â€" put on may he better Imagin- ed than described. â€"-I’elcrboro’ Ineview.
