Mr.. MeVey said he had tried
spreading straw on ground in Aug
ust and the following spring giving
it a good coat Sof manure. Where
straw had been spread, in addition
to the manure, he had much better
corn.
Had tried treating seed wheat
with formalin for smut and would
report result later. Had used &C
per cent solution and as soon as the
grain was dry enough drilled it.
Messrs. Cameron, Reeder and
Maxwell were appointed a COM
mittee of inspection and an ad-
.journment was taken for dinner.
The small number of guests pres
ent did not prevent them from
doing full justice to the excellent
repast, and after a stroll about
the premises they reassembled and
called upon the host for his essay.
Mr.. Grove responded with the
following
In recent years science has aided the farmer in
many ways. 1t has taught better methods
through the Agricultural Colleges. Experiment
Stations and from intelligent, investigating farm
ers The farmer has come to realize that farm
ing is a business necessarily governed by rules
that must be strictly obeyed.
Science has shown that where there is a farm
that does not pay. the fault lies not 10 the land.
but In the man who is in charge Good and bad
farming results from definite reasons. Success
results from painstaking. seasonable operations,
the application Of practical knowledge which has
been gained by studying the requirements which
are known will bring success
Lack of ambition results in Indifferent work on
the farm. Taking full advantage of the resources
methods of farming viii in due time mean steady
and often very rapid improvement In yield of
crops. In sense the resources of q farm vary

face stones so that the crops will take the place
the stones occupied. are some OF the ways OF
fixing advantage of the resources of the farm.
The farmer who owns big farm in very many
instances does not secure crops that ave rage as
well as the farmer whose farm rarely exceeds 60
or 20 acres. The reason is the large farmer can
not. with the force he usually keeps. properly
look alter everything seeing that seasonable
work Is done and that each farming operation Is
well attended to is great success factor IN farm
ing. Hasty work means Invariably some neglect
or work indifferently done. Intensive farming
enables the farmer to husband bis resources.
Concentration of efforts to a smaller number of
acres means invariably more thorough preparation
of the soil for all crops; more liberal fertilizing
and more thorough timely tillage. All these
things increase the crop yields and greatly i'm
prove the quality of the products. The soil
fertility on small farms has more chance to be
maintained or increased. Whether the farm be
large or small. where there are any fields allow.
ed to go wild even tor season, the resources OF
such farm are not fully taken advantage of. If
there are fields being washed, and no successful
effort made to prevent such waste. there Is
another lack If the barnyard is situated so that
the rains reach and carry away the richest OF the
manurial elements, is another; If the stables are
very inconveniently arranged it Is time Waster;
if the cattle have no barn yard shed and there
are stacks OF straw rotting away in the field; II
there is amere apology of garden; If Opportunities
to have full and convenient w4ter supply are not
made every year more cosy and attractive, then
the resources of the farm are being neglected ad-
vantages ignored and the old farm not given an
opportunity to prove what delightful and profit
able home place ambitious and intelligent farm
ing could make of it.
Too many farmers have no idea of the great
value OF good method of rotation of crops They
continually raise the same crops on the same
land with little variation. The land gets little, if
any, manurial food, small amount being scatter
ed over very large space. Such methods will
cause tile land to become devoid of humus and
plant food available for the continual growing of
one CROP Rotation gives exactly the opposite
results, it increases the humls. makes plant food
for the succeeding crops and helps to enrich the
land. The facts plainly proclaim that progressive

time has changed the arrangement OF
the separate blouse at the waist line,
and all of the new models are designed
to be worn under the skirt, the line
of union being left entirely uncovered
or concealed under a folded sash. 1t
is a noticeable feature that all of the
girdles of this sort fasten on the side,
and a softly folded sash falls low on
the skirt. All unnecessary fullness is
done away with at the lower portion
of the new separate blouses and not
a bit more than possible goes under
the skirt Sometimes the lower por-
ton of a blouse shows innumerable
rows of stitching with a view to keep
ing whatever fullness there may be

A dressy frock was seen the other
day. 1t was made of a fine blue and
white check having an over stripe OF
blue. The dress was made of the
plaid cut on the bias and trimmed with
plain liberty satin in blue and with
pretty buttons and loops. Such lit
tie dress would be just as desirable
made in cashmere, challis, chiffon
cloth or Panama, in a plain ground.
The fact that the sleeves were cut in
one with the waist made this frock
easy to make and to fit. The seven
gored skirt had the plaits turned back
wards.
A tasteful business suit had a skirt
of grey and black checked goods
made with many cores and front
panel that fastened with button and
button holes on the left side. The
blouse was of one of the soft fine
French flannels in grey. With the
blouse was worn a linen collar EN-
broidered in grey with a Directoire
bow of batiste. The coat worn was
long and loose, in black of the same
material as the skirt.
