island and colonial affairs. Whether
Congress will consent to this at the
coming session, or will move postpone

A. Clark Gardiner produced bunch of
the grass and gave a very concise talk on it,
its virtues and its faults. His first expert
ment was like Mr.. Heritage's, a failure A
patch sowed last year yielded q tons to
the acre, this year, in two cuttings. and
the third cutting will be ready in a short
time, One piece from neighbours lot was
two feet high, and was the fourth cutting
this year from two-year-old patch. This
was grown on a hill side in loose gravel.
In Germany alfalfa is sowed only in land
fit for nothing to grow in.
Lewis Morgan. Of Salem county, ex-
planned the use of nitrio-eulture on the

second year after each cutting to prevent
it dying. Mr.. Morgan's methods were
the Kansas methods. and were recom-
mended.
Mrs. Mary c. Moore, who was to have

Vacation was absent. Mrs. Beulah

In his opinion they were very good thing.
With many children the opportunity to go
away to an agricultural college was not
presented ,and expense kept Others at home.
The idea for any boy to attend such an
an institution without much expense was a
good one. He said that farming was not
as it was of old. Now the farmer must
know the principles; he must go to the
Grange, the Grange paper or to the school

would be a benefit to the county at large.
Mr.. A. Owen read paper on the ques-
tion in which he called the carefully regulat-
ed farmer an agricultural school for the
young men. The farmer should not be too
busy to teach and not too busy to give
advice when needed.
E. T. Ridgway wanted to know how to
interest the boy in the agricultural school
when it is impossible to make him go to the
public schools after he is Is or Is years Of
age.
This question, resting upon the basis Of
argument given aboye, was we'll threshed
over. Mr.. Owen, Mr.. Ridgway and Mr..
Gardiner tried to convince the listners Of
the uselessness of many of the studies in
the schools to-day, while Others tried to tell
of boys who were compelled to attend
school and who learned the useless
studies. One reason given for 50 many
boys not passing the county examinations
now was the fact that instead Of being held
in March, as of old, they are held in May
when the boys must work.
