Rogers, Eq, President of the cia! Exhibition Aseo¢ latior st resided i > appropriateiy introcuce i the speakers, Professor Shutt was the firs speaker, aud his remarks bad special reference to e soll and the methods of treating it so 23 to obtain the be-t results. He pointed

out that successive cropping would di-st- pate the organic matter in the soil, ani hat the soil must be built up. Fertile soil is mich in organic matter. Barnyard its treatment Is most tt por tant. The «xposure of such manure to injurious; allowing it to leach is also disastrous in its results. About 75 per cent of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash is returned to us 10 animal manure; and by tnis agency we can return to the svi! about 7@ per cent of the matter

taken from it. Manure should be kept under cover, moist and compret; exposure dries it out and the nitrogen 1s dissipated.

The importance of having pure water on the farm was also referred to. Once the liquid manure fiuds its way into the yard weil, the well sbould be closed up. There were barnvyards and baruyards. Some of these it would be difficult to get through witbout a pair of top boots, and there were others again that were clean enough for picnic purposes. As a rule, said he, there is no :aore crying need for a well at the hack door than there is for having the post office or the grocery store there.

In toleratly ligot soil, such as we have here, it is better to let a slight fermenia- tion of the manure take place before it is applied to the soil. Get the plant food to the roots of the crops as quickly as pos- sible. There is less loss in that way. Turn over the manure pile inthe apring. Well rotted manure is more valuable sand is more easily available.

Care must te taken in apportioning the manure. Keep the solid and liquid man- ure togetner. Mix borse mannre with cow manure; the two will go well together. Barnyard manure must be valued ac- cording to its proportion of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. This manure has a greater value than is ascribed to it— as an analysis will show.

A green crop, turned under,adds humus to the soil. Clovers, veiche 8, peas and beans are nitrogen co'lectora; other crops are nitrogen consumers. He would re- commend the more extensive growth of clover in this province. It issown with nearly all the grain crops on the Experi- mental Farm at the rate of from four to six pounds to the acre. Having removed the crop the clover begins to grow. If auxious to increase the fertility of the soil he would advise that the second crop of clover be turned in. Clover is an excellent food for catile—one rich in flesh-forming materials. But ifthere is not stock to feed it to turn it under.

He would advise growing buckwheat or rye on worn-out land. Wood ashes con- tain various pioperties conducive to the growing of plants; but these are not easily obtained here. Plaster or gypsum is also very valuable to the soil. Do not put on too much lime fertilizer at any one time. If used too extensively it uses up all the available plant food.

Plants must be treated like animals; they must be fed when they are hungry. It is better to put the lime on in the epring. There is benefit to be derived from the prudent use of mussel mud. Peat soils are also valuable. They are a good ab- aorbent, and are very useful in the cow stable and pig-pen. Peat absorbs a large proportion of the liquid manure that would otherwise escape, and it stops ex- cessive fermentation in the manure heap.

Professor Gilbert spoke next, and his

remarks had special reference to poultry- raising. Hesaidthat poultry, properly managed, must be a large source of profit to the farmer. The poultry on the Ex- perimental Farm last year realized $2 a head over and above their feed. He made a mash of clover stalks cut into short piecee, ground wheat, rye and oats. The clover was put into a pot and boiled and allowed to steep over night. The grain was put in next morning and the whole heated. This was fed to the hens at the rate of one quart to every 20 or 25. Some farm - ers gorge their hens in the morning. This is a mistake, as it makes them over- fat. After the Experimental Farm hens are given the mash referred to, grain is put in among the straw and they scratch for it. In this way they are kept actively engaged till roosting time. The waste of the table may also be put in a pot with the clover and it will make a very good mash. Bones from the butchers’ or the table are also good. Onthe Experimental Farm the attendants cut them up and feed them in the proportion of one pound to every five or ten hens, Meat food is necessary in some shave or other in the treatment of hens in order to get them to lay the egg. Give them a liberal ration early in the morning. They must also have plenty of pure water. Last winter they gave the fowls on the Experi- mental Farm two vations a day, and they kept them busy. The eggs they sold to ihe best possible advantage.

In Montreal last winter 50 cents a dozen resh eggs. During the winter

NEWS NOTES,

| Sir Louis Davies is receipt of news of lof tbe Hudson Bay exploratory steamer Diana at St. John’s, Nfld., where she will land the members of the expedi- tion. The Diana will return to the entrance of Hudson straits and cruise about there for some weeks.

lt ie learned that no further advance will be made at :preeent by the Anglo- Szyptian expedition upthe Nile. It is

recognized that an aitack upou Khartoum would necessitate a strong backing of India, the war office carn>t send sueh a force to Egypt.

The timely presence in Montreal last week of one of the officers of the depart- ment of agriculture prevented the sending forward to England ofa carload of fruit from Grimsby district, which was in @

barn- |

sadly demoralized condition, Despite the explicit instractions of Professors Craig and Robertson to leave space between each tier of boxes in the refrigerator car, the Grimsby men jammed the boxes tightly together with the result that .the fruit became heated and commenced to rot. The Untario fruit men haye much to learn yet in the way of packing.

Appropos of the recent lynchings and shootings in the neighboring republic the New York Tr.bune_ reports:— “The Southern and Western —lynchivgs are apparently having their effect on the thoughtless crowds of this city. Recently, street crimes here have provoked cries \of “Lynch him!” rarely beard before. The passion of a Brooklyn mob against a grip- man who, apparently without blame on his part,ran evera child on Saturday night was a striking example of the spread of the mania. These incidents have amounted to little, but they show a lawless tendency which seems wo be growing through familiarity with mob rule else- where. This lynchiag evii,if unrepressed, will have far-reaching consequences.”

—Itis announced in London by the South Africa Chartered Company that the work Dr. “Jim” has gone back to Africa to do is to take the oversight of the con- struction ofa line of telegraph from the Cape to Cairo. Ao! contemporaneous with this aunouncement comes the news that the British Government has decided to spend $14,000,008 in the construction of an elaborate system of docks, basins, coal- ing jetties, etc.,at Simon’s Town, Cape ot Good Hope, and that Major Huater had advanced up the Nile to Damer, at the mouth of the Atbara, or Black Nile, with- in 70 wiles of Metemneh. All of which looks as if “ the blasted Britisher” hadn’t read in the New Yurk newspapers about that Franco-Russian agreement to force him to evacuate Egypland hand over the Upper Nile country to France. He seems to be proceeding on the idea that he is there to stay.

Miss Ernst, optician, finds that work warrants her stay in this city another week at least. Good training and an extended practical experience have qualified her to remedy the most defective vision where glasses will be of use. If your sight is failing or your eyes trouble you, come in and have them examined. No charge for consultation. First class work and mater- ial guaranteed. To give glasses when not needed is both dishonest and injurious to the permanency of’ her business. By previous arrangement parties can secure special hours for consultation.

FORENOON SESSION.

Roll call and reading of the minutes, was followed by an entertaining and in- terested paper on Primary School work by Miss McMurray.

In the discussion which followed, Mr. McIntyre questioned the utility of the vertical system of writing and failed to see its advantages over the ordinary or oblique system of writing. .

Mr. Stewart, Inspector of City Schools, pointed out the advantage of the vertical system.

Mr. Campbell, Summerside, read a paper or “Tbe Practical in Education.” The union of the ideal and practical was adverted to. He discussed the objection that is fiequently made that the education given in our +chools is not practical. He condemned the cond‘tion of things which compelled a teacher to work in order that be may pass as great a number of yjupils ai possible into the Prince Wales College, and advocated as a remedy ‘a public school leaving exam- ination” as a test of the work in the schuole, The paper was discussed by Messrs. Landriga:, McSwain, Seaman, Miller, Ross, T. C. James, Kiely and Stewart.

The question box was then opened and answers given to the various questions, when the Association adjourned to meet at 2 o’clock,

“And where is the prospective Minister of Agriculture ?” asked Rev. Father Burke in his remarks at the Shutt-Gilbert meet- ing last night as he apologized to the visitors for the thin meeting. And even
