tertainment by collation. or otherwise, unless there are convenient hotel &C., commodations.
 When applications for institutes Is made, four speakers and subjects may be selected from the list, and two of them may be expected to meet the call, but each one has the privilege of sending a substitute in case of disa- bility from illness or otherwise. Applications for institutes should be made to the secretary at an early date, giving name of railroad station, name of hall and distance from railroad sta tion. Signify the day of the week pre- ferred. Give name of local committee, | and of some citizen who would give short opening address or an essay, also give notice of the music and collation., l if offered.
 Attention to these details will save much delay in correspondence. As good speakers are offered, the respon- sibility of securing good attendance must rest with each locality. Lady speakers will be welcome at these insti- tutes. An exhibit of fruit and flowers is solicited.
 The question box will be an impor- tant feature, allowing the introduction of any topic pertaining to agriculture. A large choice of speakers and sub jects is offered, but if we are obliged in some cases to send substitutes we trust l this will prove no disappointment. Some other speakers have been solici- | ted, so that some may be sent as sub | stitutes who are not on the list. Please bear in mind that our number of lady speakers is limited, and they must be | excused from answering all calls if too numerous.
