He com» mented on thejrequent hen-en appear- ance of tine houses without trees or lhruhbery. Take the young people into eonfidenee and encourage their interest. He advocated wire fences near build- ings, hove lawns sown in spring with some grain. red clover, blue grass, red top, an»: of each. He advised hedges of our common red cedar pruning once in 2 years. Spruce, Austrian or Scotch pine trees were hardy and fine, and our own Maple or horse chestnut were not lent.

New Dundee, and the supplementary work by home mm was also eta valuable character. Sccy. Binnie and Pres. Morice have been efficient officials and much ot the success of the meetings is due to their activity. Tho valuable privileges in connection with the Institute such as qualified lt-Cturers on various subjects, the bulletins issued to members, excursion privileges to the Model Farm,hte., both titlmmi't'ttnti winter, are coming to be more appreciated, and the good done is, correspondingly great. Happily the meetings are now eoni- pletely divested ot the partizanidea, which for some years lessened their usefulness, and are now fully valued by all intelligent farmers as important accessories Lo their business. As usual the meetings of the Farmers’ Institute here aroused a wide interest, bat not more than their aim and tttW. fullness deserve. The farmers in larger numbers are coming to find out how practical are the discussions. how benetieial the ideas they hear from others who have, it may be, given a specialists attention to some part of their work.

The discussion on "Beau- tifving the Farm" led him to direct his remarks to thekindrcd subject of ' Beau. tifyuig the Town.' He pointed out the variety and adaptability nature. had giv- en Durham. no monotonous plain, hut hillside and winding riyer each in their own place giving opportunities for aes- thetu. improvement.
