The second annual convention of the Womens’ Institute held last year was successful to a marked degree, but this year’s gathering. held at Guelph, far surpassed the record made in 1903. The total membership of the Institute has meantime in- creased from 4,565 to 5,433; the at- tendance at local Institute meetings during the vear ending June last was 44 693 as compared with 22,013 the year before, the number of these local meetings show an increase from 619 to 960. and the organization now covers no less than 51 electoral dis- tricts. The annual convention is one of the most important features of the Winter Fair. for the fact it helps to swell the attendance at our great educational exhibition. and that is right. for nowhere in this province can pleasure and profit be so well combined as far as farming communi- ties are concerned as during Winter Fair week in the city of Guelph. At the opening session on Friday morning the Assembly Hall of the Mac-Donald Institute was filled from the platform to she rear wall. There were representatives from almost every riding. Mrs Bews, Secy. of Halton Institute, the banner InSti- tute of the province. having a mem- bership of 53:3 for 1904. in a few well chosen words sketched the rapid growth of the Institute. and stated that one proof of the immense a- mount of good the Institute has for for women is the fact that they have become unselfish enough to give a- way their best receipts to their neighbors. and we all know. she said, that when a women will do that she has done nobly. Pres. Creelman, of the Agricultural College, extended a hearty welcome to the delegates Pres. Robertson’s remarks touched on our ideals and hopes in life. He congratulated the assembly on the large number of delegates present. which was one of the most numerous signs of the great success of this organization, which; with the Farmer’s Institute has done more for Canada than any other organization. Supt. Putman is enthusiastic. and when he arose to speak, he was re. ceived with applause “ I must ad- mit.” said Mr. Pntman, “to be per- fectly honest with you all. that when I first took hold of the work, I thought the Womens’ Institute branch was one which would not develop very fast, as we already had snchenumber of womens’ societies in connection with churches. temper- snce organizetion. etc. I on glad to hnve been mistaken in this. The VVomen’e Institutes ere not dying. are not dropping 08, but. on the contrary. ere very much elive end very much in enmeet.” vnan‘ungu: sncnu Report by Mrs. David Hamilton and Read at the South Grey Women’s Institute on February 16th. m. Putmm then spoke of his HELD AT GUELPH IN 1904. In laundry work they had been criticised as doing too fine work, but they trained girls to be equal to any demand in laundry work. The pu~ pils must do house work, this in- cludes the mower cleaning of wood- work. glass. metals. c., ultimately the whole household work of the In- stitute will have to be done by the students, scrubbing will perhaps be taught. although nOt insisted upon. Each student will have to take up housekeeping for a week, she will have to buy in and look after every thing just as she would do at home. At the end of the week her accounts will be audited. Miss Watson urged the diflerent Institutes to discuss at their meetings what should be a course for farmer’s daughters, and forward the result to the Institute. Tuesday afternoon session at the MacDonald building brought out noc only the W. I. delegation. but also a large delegation of citizens, who wished particularly to hear Mrs. Bertha Dobl Laws. of Appleton, Min. The chrir was taken shortly before 3 o’clock by Mrs. J. H. McNeilly, Stoney Creek, who introduced Mr. C. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agri- culture for Ontario. Mr. James traced in a mostinterest- ing manner the growth and develop- ment of educational matters. He referred to the exclusive nature of education in past centuries. that education was, first of all. for the cloister and monastery. Later we had the study of law and matters pertaining to the State, so that farmers were probably the second class to benefit by the educational movement of the world. Then had come about the study of science in its diflerent branches until education assumed a more general aspect. and was not confined exclusively to the cloister and the abbey. You will see, said Mr. James. that this move- ment is getting closer and closer to the great masses of the peeple. In these days. the peat-est. the meanest. the most backward, may receive an education if he will” It is only of late that we have got to the centre of the farmers work. which lies with- in the four corners at his own house. it isn’t so much the straight Miss Watson. Lady Principal of the Macdonald Institute. took up the work of the Institute from a general standpoint. Housekeepers work was taken up in a most interesting fash- ion by the lady Supt. of the Insti- tute. who also explained the difler- ent classes and the scape of work in each class. the age limit of the pn- pils was 17 years. Plain cooking in all its forms was taken up. The Institute does not go in for fancy cooking. The pupils were taught to cook all that was required in an average home, and agood foundation {or the home cook is laid. Miss Watson said it is astonishing how many girls do not know how to sew. The girl who can’t sew is put into the plain sewing class, then they are gradually promoted to the nigher work of garment and skirt making, c. The dressmaking class is the climax of excellence. various duties connected with the work, and asked for the sympathetic and earnest co-operation of every officer and member. He pointed out several ways in which officers could assist in making the Institutes a success, and spoke in the most hope- ful terms of the outlook. i The singing of the National Anthem brought. to a close, the third and gmost successful Womens’ Instittte iConvention held in Ontario. IVOLLE'râ€"At Fort William, on Sun- } day. Feb. wth, to Mr. ind Mrs. J. Joseph W. Wilson of Millerton. near Kincardine had the pleasure of shooting a wild cat nearly four feet long, counting his short tail, on Tues- day morning of limit week. Several turkeys and hens had been killed by an unknown animal previous to the shooting of this cat. His lordship was thin and hungry and he jumped over {our feet to break through a glass window. As the door was opened by Mrs. Wilson and child the animal rushed out close by the child. The cat was large enough to kill a man in short order. Their modus Operandi is to catch a man by the throat with their teeth, throw their fore legs around the man’s neck. and scratch with their hind legs till the clothing {and bowels are in shreds. They do their work thoroughly and quickly. It is said there are more of these animals in the neighborhood of Kincardine.â€"O. S. Advertiser. Father (from top of stairs) “Ethel. is that. young man gone? Ethelâ€"“Awfully. p3.” Dr. Annie Ross of the Macdonald Institute stafl'. together with several members of her class, gave an ex- hibition of the placing of bandages and of making a bed for a sick person. Many valuale hints were given, but unfortunately the hour was growing late. so the demonstration had to be hurried. Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws. of Apple- ton, Minn., gave an interesting and instructive address on plain food and ‘1'" Th k°~h~’ u ipaln ltvmg. e itt. en 18 t e Emost important workshop in‘the l world, and it is usually the worst :stocked of all. Mrs. Laws suggested } that in the planning of our kitchen. the saving of steps should be the first consideration. Our kitchens are the most important place in the house. because itis there we make and cook the foods which are to build 3 up the bodies of the members of our 1 household. and is not the health and i strength of each member of the lami» ily of primary importance. I often ! think our kitchens are'poorly eqqip- jped, just because women do the work there. The men on the farm or in j business must have proper tools and E proper implements to work with. but i the women seem to be content to put up with anything. Why should not ;the women in the home have the l most approved and the most con- ,venient utensils, etc... to work with lin the home? My experience has 1taught me that a small kitchen is most desirable, when it has not to be used as a dining room ; in the latter case of course a large room is neces- sary. Arrange the utensils that are most used near at hand so that un necessary steps are not taken in getting them and putting them away again. Some one says. but they will get dirty and dusty if they are hang- ing about the kitchen. No, they won’t, they are used too often for that. Then we must choose our food, keeping in mind that the most nutritious and economical foods are not always the most tasty and we have to cook these foods so as to make them appetizing. This does not mean that household work and the preparation of foods meanst drudgery, rather it is the most in-i: teresting and fascinatirg work in' which a woman can be engaged. Ini choosing our foods we cannot be de- pend on the weight. nor on the price. nor on the taste. We must learn to know the food value of the things we buv. When ‘we pay 45 cents for a quart of oysters and 5 cts. for a quart of milk and make an oyster soup. we are paying 45c for taste and five cts. for nourishment. This is' not economy. Mrs. Laws then referred to a chart and explain- ed the food values of diflerent loods. pointing out the fact that cheese: was one of the most nutritious foods ! She also dwelt upon the importance of pure air and good ventilation ins the home... Open up the blinds and! letin the sunlight and the fresh air. 4 repeated Mrs Laws. ‘ Then followed a business session. at which delegates presented .re- ports from their local organizations, and discussed matters pertaining to the more efficient carrying on of the work. The reports show a most. satisfactory growth and development. of the work during 1904. and the Outlook 18 oxceedingly bright. Hon. John Dryden made a few apprecimive remarkq regarding M rs. Laws’ address. He also believed that W. I. was one of the most use- ful organizations that we have. the sheep and the poultrv, let us do something for the home. Let us make life in the farm house lovelier, brighter and more wholesome. Once we taught only the three R’s. let us now cultivate the three H’s, the head, the heart and the hand. Mr. James concluded a fine address with '.“"(1% of good cheer for the pioneers of the Nomens’ Institute. S. Vollet, a son. iAmâ€"chngj-On W‘ THAT WILD CAT. MARRIED ..â€". 0.. BORN . Ems: H H.
