This will be a great year for
rice consumption. The shortage
of the cereal crops of the West and
the diminished supply of potatoes
is going to bring into greater

ana rice. With proper efforts our
cereal can be introduced into every
household, and throughout the
West and North it can he popular
lied and made to become Il perma-
nent article of food in their house
holds. Let the committees who
have the spread of consumption in
charge redouble their efforts, sue

We are in receipt Of an invita-
ton to attend the Farmers Insti-
tute to be held at the City Hall,
July 10Th. Saturday next. We shall
endeavor to be there. Although
we are no farmer, yet we recognize
the supreme power of agriculture,
for without it all our enterprises
would fail These institutes or
gatherings of farmers and agricul-
turists of all classes must result in
great good to the community, and
it is the duty Of all to attend. A
fine program will be rendered, in
Guiding speeches on very important
subjects by speakers who have
made themselves familiar with their
subjects in practical as we'll as a
theoretical way. There is no doubt
that the farmer must be benefited
by the discussions which will ensue
on subjects with which he is falnil-
eiar, and there will be points brought
ont that will be of lasting pecunia-
ny benefit to him. Let all attend
and make the institute a grand sue
cess in every way.
