In opening the subject of “The Plant and the sell." the speaker outlined the sources of plant food : required in building up the plar. is, which in their turn give us the important food constituents ne- ccssary for stOck. Three elements entering into plant growth Were emphasized as being specially important to the farmer, viz: nitrogen. valued on a commercial basis at 14¢. per 11).; phosphoric {,lCid 5c. lb, and potash 4d. lb. Farm yard manure contains all these ingredients, when both thel liquids and solid parts were pro- I ‘perly saved and applied to the land. It was remarked in this connection that farmyard manure “applied fresh from the stahles,’ ‘Spread on the land and kept as near the surface as possible, gave bvst results. The clover plant was the cheapest supply of nitrogen the farmer could "SP, and in any 5\ stem of rotation of crops adopt- ed by the farmer. clove: should come in at least‘every 3rd, 4th or Sessions of the East Durham iFarmer’s Institute were held in 3thc Town Hall, on Tuesday, and l were of a very profitable and in. lteresting nature. The l’reStdent, er. '1'. A. Kelly, ably filled the ‘chair, and gave a brief, but inter- testing address. Mr. Rayner was 1then called upon to address the Iiieetin". Hissuhjectswere “Con- crete and Its Uses," and “ The Plant and the Soil." Referring to concrete, the speaker claimed that it was largely supplanting the use of woo-J for floors in Stables, it also having an extended use in the building of basement walls. cisterns, tile drains, and for every- thing where masonry work is re- quired. With concrete a farmer could be his own mason largely The method of putting in floors in horse or cow stables as well as pig pens was outlined The points emphasxzed were for getting a level, firm bottom. good clean gravel, careful mixmg of Loth cement and gravelâ€"both dry and wet.â€"and the ramming of it well home in the floor itself. The ordinary rocks cements, both the Queenston and Thoral brands were very satisfactory for making stable floors. etc. Among the farmers present it was lound that only one, Mr. A. Fallis, Sec’y of, the East Durham Farmers' Instig tute,â€"had made any use of thel cement in this way. The speaker strongly urged any farmer chang- ing floors to consider concrete to be the cheapest, most durable and satisfactory floors that are put in. ‘ Farmers’ Institute Meetings.
