Coming together in good season. Mr.. j
w. Newton Of Stowe, first spoke upon the
Conditions of Successful Farming"
The first condition was a contentment
with the occupation, n love for it and q
desire to excel. lie thought that some
times Young farmers, especially, are dis
couraged hv the gloomy accounts given in
agricultural papers, that farming does not
pay. etc
We may compare our occupation with
others, and we shall almost Invariably
fiDd that we are more uniformity success
full and much more free from multitude
of perplexities.
The next condition should be learning.
There are greater advances now being
made in agriculture than in most other
occupations. The desired information may
be largely gained from observation, going
away from home and finding out what
others are doing. oral teaching, such as
is furnished by meetings now being held,
furnishes excellent opportunities for i'm.
proyement. Farmers should also read,
not only the best conducted agricultural
journals but books on special subjects.
A dded to all of these sources there must
be thought and investigation to render the
others the most profitable. Above all
things farmers must be patient; this is a
virtue that needs cultivation. There is
need of more capital, still he would not
advise going into debt. There are many
leaks about the farm; there are number.
less almost q waste of manure-a waste in
allowing useless weeds to occupy the
ground that should be devoted to useful
crops.
Advised the more general use Of the best
tools and implements as means Of sue
cess Farmers should strive to excel in
whatever they undertake to do, as in this
only is there true success.
After this short and interesting address
the audience were favored with music by
four young girls, which was we'll received.
Next Scientific Feeding" was the sub
iect of an excellent address by Henry
Lane.
At the close Of the address some ques-
tions were answered by Mr.. Lane. Is not
much in favor Of grinding the cob with the
corn. If bulk is wanted with concentrated
food, perhaps it might do. Bran would.
no doubt, be better. AS to what shall be
done with potatoes, would feed with good
nay, or with gram. Are Soou Win cioNet
hay. With good hay would feed about
equal parts of corn and Gotten seed meal.
Like to feed the meal with portion of tho
bay or coarse fodder, to aid in its more
perfect assimilation, or after the hay is
eaten.
For young, growing cattle would feed
bran and lnseed meal with good hay, es-
pecialy if under one year-old.
With poor quality OF hay would feed
only Il small ration of potatoes to cows;
not over four quarts eacn, per day.
