JAN. 22, 1903 AT THE re anxious to clear out You will never have a a pair $1.00 Silverware, large size Fs A solo " Wake! oh Wake," by Miss Jean Renwick, showed that young lady is losing noneâ€"of her charm as a vocalist. Her sister Miss Agnes Renâ€" wick came up from Mt Forest to accompany her old choir mates. Another repetition of the Sceotch Concert was *Past 12 o‘clock‘"‘ the watchmen being W. Ramage and the lovers enduring such sweet parting being Miss Jean Renwick and Mr. Isaac.â€" Later the laughable refrain, *‘ Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater‘‘ was sung, the adaptations showing splendid harâ€" mony, .and the uproarious encore brought another rollicking piece. The other members of the choir not mentioned were Misses Sarah Isaac, Bella Lothian and Aggie Hunter. __ The chairman called attention to the magnitude of Institute work going on all over Ontario. Interlarding the speeches, this fine combination rendered excellent varâ€" iety of music. and received manvy enâ€" cores. They opened with a melodious piece "Beautiful Queen." A male quartetie composed of Messrs Wim. llsaae, G. Lothian, Jas. Coleridge and Wm. Ramage rendered " Heroes and Gentlemen" with spirit, Mr. Ramage taking the solo part. In response to a hearty encore, and with Mr. John Wi}â€" son added, they gave a patrictic piece. Following Mr. Drury, by request the choir sang * We‘ll Have to Mortgage the Farm, " the old couple being Miss M A. Isaac and W. Ramage. W m. Isaac and Miss Jean Renwick sung with taste and effect the duett " Gipsy Maid," and were warmly encored. Mr Binnie spouke briefly complimenâ€" ting the tine audience, the new speakâ€" ers, the new subjects, the new songs, but the same old hall. and drew a rosy picture of a new Hall on the Mcody corner with a public park in front of it. He showed the advantages of the Institute to farmers in many ways, and reminded the. ladies that there was also a flourishing Women‘sinstituve. Whatever remedies might be applied he boped never to see them lined up after the manner of unions to lim‘t production, &z. _ Science could _ be applied to agriculture, it was a thing of infinite advancement, it was usefual, honorable and bad secope enough for the eleverest. _ ‘There was no millionâ€" aire‘s portion awaiting theimn but a comforta ble living, with a chance for pbysieal strength, good health, pure and pleasant thoughts. The mistake he thought wias made by the ftarmers themselves in underâ€" estimating their calling. He took seeâ€" ond place to none in his view of the farmer, and the opportanities in tarm bomes for the culture of head and heart was not intcrior to the best city homes. He deplored whe fact that the 3 last censuses showed a decreasing number of agriculturists, an unnatural result in a country like Canada whose founâ€" dations should be laid in agricalture and thern build the superstructure of Natlonal greatness. Mr Drury took " Farming as a Proâ€" fession " and referring to the song just sung lauding the union ot the " Enugâ€" lish, Irish and Scotch,"" said that. just as 200 years ago that union was being consumimated so now, Saxon, Celt and Gaul were being welded into a Canâ€" adian nation, proud to reckon themâ€" selves Canadian He dealt with the immense chenpenâ€" ing of transportation rates, especially by water ; of the competition now trom India, Argentine, Australia, Siberia, and the fertile plains of our own west, many of these areas baving chcaper labor than the Ontaric farmer, but a hopefcl feature was the increase in bome consumption of home grown products. _ ‘The necessity of intelligent, intensive farm.ng to meet these condiâ€" tions was well brought out. (3) The period of manufacturing Food Products. Mr Masson spoke on the **Changing conditions of Canadian Agriculture, ‘‘ dividinz it into 3 periods. (1) The pioneer period when wood . fur, asheg, &c., were the staples Old Ontario bad outgrown this, but the worthy pioneers, now almost gone. were. worâ€" thy of honor for the foundations they had laid. (2) _ The Grainâ€"growing and Selling period. A period of great prosperity owingy to the waste of foreign wars (Crimedn and American). Monday afternoon saw the Town | Hall crowded with intelligent farmers Inet to take part in the work and disâ€" cussions of the Instituze now so dpopnlar and so useful in its many fields ot acâ€" tivity. _ Pres Jas Allan and Secy Geo Binpie, ably supported by the Directors must have felt gratified at the success of sncother annagal gathering. â€" Mr Drury, Crown Hill, spoke on *‘ Soil Fertility and how to maintain it" and his address was very highly spoken of. Mr. Masson, Straffordville, spoke on Corn in an exhaustive way beginning with the selection of the seed, he traced very lucidly the reâ€" cognised best methods of planting, cultivating, harvesting, s:oring. &c., as hiwexperience had taught him.~ To practical farmers, and what farmer nowâ€"aâ€"days is not. there must have been a gyeat deal of value. l Evening Meeting. President Allan had asked Mavyor Mclotvre to preside, but in his absence, the position was filled by Mr Gilbert McKechnie, who is an adept at such positions and made a yery suitable opening address.
