Celiti-e Grpy Fanner's Initittite held a verj iiiloreKtiii^ session iu the TiiMrn Uail, Fleshert.m, 011 Friday afteriuH»u last. Consideriiiif the practical excellence- of the addressed and paiieni L'ivi-n by tlie several siicakers, we were surjirise^ twsee such nn cridunt lack »f interest in tlie small atteiidmicu of fannera. Mr. Thos. Kells, President! oP East Grey Ai;ircultural Society, occupied the chair, assisted by Mr. D. R. Elli* Mr. Kells introduced the firat speaker, Prof. Rtibcrtson, in a very noat speech. Prof. Roljurtson, of the Ai;ricultural College, Guclph, then gart oDe of the most practical and intunsdy interesting addresses on the cow we have- over listen- ed to. lie went 011 to show that a cow's record during the past year v««» tha best way of judging of lier qualilies hs a milk producer. A cow is a mxik ainchine, and in order that the luogt gaVia£«atury results miKht be derived, it was essential that â- he possess certain quah'ties. In pur- chasini; a cow, the speaker saiil ha would like to have »n nrrimal with a kroad' poll, and mild, prominent vyfs. Ha* face should lie lean, long and quite thin« with broad mu7.zlr, broad open nnstriU, hot not Kapinx- ^he should have a thin. luou. and ta)K!nng neck, witi sloping sbouidei blade. The back txine irtiould be either nearly straight or slightly arched batweeu. the shoulder and hip bone â€" not koUow.. He didn't want a cow swooth across the hips, for that indicated she wtis bettus adapted for adoniing the buVhar's stall than producing milk ; her hip should be prominent and angular, with u>-slopiii^ ham. The udder shntiM have Wm*d and long attachment to '.he Inidy, as these Were good features, allowing Usrg* Mipply uf arterial bltHxl which nviit •» largely towards forming milk. Milk, is made, said the *|>eaker, by bliHMl bciiif; ckargad into small cells in the udder ani{ acied U|Mjn by nerve power. It is ver^ iiupor- tant not t'> excite cows by rusiawg theiu or "{letting" them oii the back with a milking stool ! Such a course of treat- ment WM decidedly injuriotss at it af- •ected the nerve power so requisite to the .productiou uf milk ai.d hod a tundeuc^- to cause the cow to "hold back heriuilk." -){« would like the cow tn have a deep 'clival as that indicated great heaxt and tmui \><>witr â€" two important essentisis in good mflk producing cows. Good feed and warm stables were also r<)(|uisite. The s|>eakur (hen went on to sf>a«k of improving our methods of keeping the stock we have, and in this amnoctioiv lui urged the great importitiice of using only thorouxhlired bulls. Kvcn though mure costly at the liegiiining, in the end the stock man, who used thor<iughbred stock, prohted much more largely than if he had used inferior sires. Soinetimas farmers actually expended more money in feeding inferior stock than the aniii.als would briiiK iu the market. Uu iiistauced the liiaii who iiuchased three hi>>{s at one dollar each, and, after feeding them (!) worth uf corn, sold them to tha butcher for three dollars i-cch : He seemed to think hu hud iiuule a good bargiiin, fur when a neighbor told him he had lost money, he triumphantly remarked : "Well, I might have lost on the corn but •ee what I inad« on the hogs I" The .speaker then proceeded to talk nlxiut raising calves. He naid caU us should al- ways be fed on mrvet milk uikI never on â- our. The reason for tliis was v«ry sim- ple and easily ex i)lnined. In every 100 lbs. of sweet luilk there was -1} llw. â- >u"jir, which latter lieconios lactic acid when the milk gets Sour ; and, as ( vi ryb..dy of course vas awani, such MuXt <lul not pos- ses any very fattening propt-rlies â€" cims- ing indigestion, il-c. Milk should be fiiil, therefore, sweet and wuiin. Calves would thrive just ns well on 92 woiili of chop Htiitl'as on tilo worth of liuttci- (<jr milk), HO that at the end of about tlijvti inoiitlis milk should be dropped and chop feed substituted. This latter bliouJd ulwiiysi Ihi fed dry to prevent bcoiu.i and othur disorilem arising fiom the imperfect as- similatioii of fond by tli«dig«tittiv« orgati». They should have hay mid chop feed in winter, and grass and fhop feed in sum- mer. Cows should have tha btwt of hay iifter ciUving. Clover wna bettar than timothy hay, and both mixed wm better feed for the cow than either fed singly. Everything should be out a little on the Kreen side as the hay or straw niadn bet- ter fodder. Cows should have ready â- <â- • ceMi to SBlt daily or they will fall ntf in inilk production ,and, besides, the milk will not be so good. Milk will keep 24 houra hmifer where the oow^ are fed salt «ver^ da^. It ahould b« earafully kept from taint by avoidance of all contamin- ating inHuences Huch iw swill, &a. The udders should be clean and the milk should be strained through detiuheA strain- ers. Miik should be well aired before cooling it, by. pouring from one pail to another, ur otbanwise exposing it to the influeiice of the atT. The speaker then fully and clearly, explained how milk ab- sorbs offensive ingredients, after which he ]iaid a gh>wing tribute to the Canadian cheese factories and creameries, showing how lamely our products have grown in public e.stimatioii in foreign markets. There was 760 cheese factories in Ontario at the present time, and last year 37,000, OOf) worth of cheese had been exported from this banner province of Canada. The speaker concluded his remarks amidst great applause. His speech conveyed more good practical common sense than a dozen pamphlets or agricultural papers could have done. Mr. D. J. Hunter moved and Mr. S. Drtinude seconded, that the hearty thanks of the meeting be tendered the Professor for his able address, which was acknow- ledged by a unanimous standing vote. Mr W. O. PickelL'a paper, on "Horse lireeding for Profit," wa»slH>rt but com- prehensive, and provoked a .spirited and interesting discussion, in whidi Messrs. I). R. Ellis, D. J. Hunter, K. ILuver and others took an active part. The chief point in the discussiiui was the dilHcuIty of ascertaining when we really have thor- oughbred animals. Mr. D. .J. Hunter instanced a case, where a really good Ikm-sc's pedigree was criticxlly looked into and found to contain names of jilaccs in Scotland which only existed in the pedi- gree manufacturer's imagination. Others, gave instances in other directions. A suggestion by Mr. Hunter, that hnrseH be licensed, met with the hearty approv- al of the majority of those presentâ€" in- td^iding the essayist, Mr. Pickell. It was lielieved this system once in v>)gue would Koon do away with "scrubs." "Cleveland Bays" were s{>oken of vary highly by Mr. Hunter. Mr. McKni«ht, of Owen Sound â€" ooa of the four member's of the Bee-kee|»er'* .'is.sociation of Ontario who represented important body at the Colonial and Indi- an Exhibition, recently held in London, Englandâ€" was received with hearty ap- plause when he apjienred on the platform. Ha luid been oakud, hu said, tii tell tliam something about the great exhibition, hut the subject was t(^)o great to be consider- ed in tha short time at his comiiauMl. However ho gave his auditors mwiy inter- ektikiu facts in that direction â€" aJiways, liowmer, kca|iing in view hrs wtbject, ".4picultur«." Tlio Colonjal wiis themost Huccaasful exlubttioii evvr held in Loiidou â€" frut* a linmicidl standjioiivt. It lasted (i months and two days niul 941,600 per day were taken in at the gates as eutrance money. The I.,oiidon bcIiooI children were admitted at a nomiuul charge of Q cents each, and thus ten* uf thousands of then were enabled to view the products of British colonists from att quarters of the gK>be, and could not fail to be im- pruased with the vastness iinJ greiitnesa of the mighty umpire on which 'the sun never sets. " Mr. McKiiight, who is a most pleasing speaker, then quietly drifted into the Kcieiice of apiculture â€" showing how the bees gathered the honey from tlowers, and how closely allied the study of botany was to that r>f apiculture ; how young bees are fed with a mixture of pol- len, honey and water ; how necessary poll<:iii7Jition is to fruit and many other interi.'stiiig facts familiar to botanists and apiculturists. He thought it Would be a good idea fur all farmers to keep bees. The Canadinn honey dejiartment at the Colonial was 100 ft. lung iiiid 23 ft. wide, .'ind in this was stored 17 tons of honey. Ill color our honey beats any other in the world. , They had a number of saleswom- en en^^gud selling and givingaway honey. Soma !i,000 or 4000 ItiB. were distributed L-rati* during the exliibili(m, but they Hiicceeiled in establishing a market for CaBailian lionoy, which was the cliief point aiuu-d at. Mr. Kells. â€" Did the Queen get any Canadian honey ? "Yea," saidMr. McKiiight, oontiiiuing, "and from the Ooiinty of Orey, too !" (applauiie). He then went ijii to show how the honey found its way to the Queen's tablethrough Sir Charles Tupper, Sir suiiiebody else, and then Sir Frederic Pons(mby, They had also the satisfaction of seeing a full |)agc notice of Canadian iioney in the I'all MuU Oatette, one of the most influential and widely circulated journals in England, So that their mis- sion was agr^iiil success in everv particu- lar. Mr. MuKntght |Hiid a very graceful tribute to Prof, Kohertson in the courHe of his eloquent but modestly worded (peech. Mr, D, J. PHntsr^ pi^WT CP "^^rm Leak's" was very practical and readily coniinended itself to the intelligence uf thinking, go-ahead, coiiiinon sense far- mers. Mr. Hunter comes ut the gist of his subject with a directnesn that is truly refreshing and edifying in those days of steam and electricity. Mr. Hunter is practical from the tips of his toes to the crown of his head. Mr. T. B. White, another long-headed CoUingwood Township farmer, next gaye his niagniticent essay on "Good and Bad Times." Few farmers in the Province go as deeply into such subjects as Mr. White. In that quiet unassumiiit! man- ner, that possesse: such foroe, he grapples- with the great question of supj/ly aiid.Ju- maiid, and before losing his vice-like grip, Mr. White does not fail' fco give a fresh and invigorating turn to our thoughts. Of co'jrsii this question of "Good and Bad Himes" is- considered from a farmer's standpoint, but as our agriculturists are the backbone of the country, the logical, conclusions drairn from such a point by a moil of Mr. W.hite's ability, possess a. deep interest. Mr. White coifiludes. his essay with the fMlowing lines : â€" "Mechanics all by him are fed, or him th«juercliaDts seek their bread, Hia iiaiids give meat to every ttiiiif;, Up from thv beiuar to the IdiiK" Mr. McKnight regretted that there were not more farmers present and thought a mistake had been made by ad- vertising two meetings on the same pos- ter. Mr. Damude agreed in part with. Mr. McKiiight, b«rt attributed the small" atten- dance not s»< much to a want of know-- ledge of the meeting as a lack of desire to obtain the knowledge imparted att meetings of this institute. Many far-^ mers have the opinion that they are per- fect in the art of farming, and do not care to heat any system propounded uot taught them by their grand/athers. He was not a farmer at present, but had serv^ ed 30 years of his Ufa in thrd calling. Ik was a gcMid long schooling, yet he did not think he hecanM perfect and was al- ways anxious to leiuin by tka experience of others and profik thereby. If he as a manufacturer adopted the piinciple laid down by many farmecs, a few yaara would sutticu to close hi» business, and close any busiucss where the proprietor claimed |ierfection and would not pro&i by tha experience of others. Why ? I3l»- causa there ajre ne'Sniaethods cuntinusJJty beitsf; found uut by thuiking men to inMi- irfucture a hotter cIrmi of the same article at a less cost, and ho must leaca by the asperiutMe of otlver* and uuitalie them or we are distanced in the race and shut oat. And this applies equally to farming; aud wh«n this Institute educates the farmers to see that the system of farming adopted by tUeir grandparents is not aay more appVicable iu tkia ui»r present day than the old couch compared with our railways, so soon «ttl there ba full iiveet< ings and the Professor's lectures ba ap- preciated at their true value. He hoped the Institute would bo tha means of con- vincing uiany farmers that there are still simie things to bo learned in counection with the science of of Agviculturoi. (Loud applause.)
