Valuable suggestions were thrown out in the reports of the Provincial Convention. prepared by Miss Overend and Mr. Hallett. They received. a vote of thanks. Inspector Morgan then suggested that it would be a good idea for the convention to purchase copies of the snnualreport of Provincial Teach- ers Association and distribute them among the teachers. They could. be obtained at 15c. per copy in large num- bers, and would be valuable to all teachers. No action was taken, how- ever, by the teachers present. " U ____ \ Penetanguishe ' N. S.

Williams, B.A., of Collingwood, ` caused a sensation by his motion asking that the annual meeting be held here- after in Barrie, and that the fee be 81 to all teachers in Barrie, with a reduc- ti9n of 3 cents per mile to all teachers living outside of Barrie. After the ex- citement had lulled somewhat, Mr. Williams said the proposal had many valuable features, one of the principal being that teachers would then be hear- ing each other s burdens. `As it is, those from the northern part of the county pay $4 or 85 every year to at-5 tend the convention, whereas teachers living in and near Barrie or Orillia have little expense, if any. Inspector Morgan agreed with the sliding scale of fees but thought the teachers should" decide from year to year wherethe eon`- vention should beheld; A moamm passed appointing the following -. com: mittee to deal with the motion . and Port to the convention :--_-Messrs. lett, Geo.

Miss Sherin, of V Barrie, continued the subject of Primary .Work by a paper setting forth the relations from a dis- cipline and moral point of view that should obtain between teacher and pupils. `The teaching of the youngest children in school was characterized by Miss Sherin as the most arduaus and responsible of school work, and that the importance of the first year of the` child's- work in school is gaining in credence. Miss Sherin then gave par- ticulars in methods of teaching little children and by the aid of seven little girls--Clara Smith, Jessie Smith, Ruby Bowen, Eveline Snead, Laura Dixon, Mary Oaveua, Lizzie Griiths-illus trated her method in expressive reading.

First she would take object lessons fol- lowed by language lessons associated therewith. - Drawing is alsoot` value in connection with such` lessons. An important point in Miss Julian's paper` was her advice to primary teachers not to continue children at play-work when` they become able to spend their `time in useful work. _ The Spruce C+a11-Louse. , In the - spring of 1897 many spruce trees in and around Toronto were found to be more or less injured by agsll in- sect. The galls were `enlarged sudde- formed buds of the previous year, usually towards the tips of the twigs. Investigation showed that `these lzalls 'we`re formed by a small insect popular-_ ly called the spruce gall-louse. A short account of this destructive pest. as then knownin Ontario, appearedin the an- nual report of the Clerk of Forestry for the Province of Ontario for 1897. Since then it has spread with astonish- ing rapidlty and has been detected at many points,irom Peterborough to the county` of Bruce, where it was lately detected by Dr. Hunter on native spruce trees in a swamp in the township. of Oulross. It has also been found. on native spruoes in Muskoka, near Utter- son station. So far itlwould appear that unless this insect is checked by some articial means it will soon de- stroy our ornamental spruce trees and hedges and, extending northwards, do immense injury to our spruce forests.- The trees already "attacked by this spruce galltlouse in Ontario are the European spruce, the double spruce, or black spruce,` the white spruce, and the balsam r, and it may also found on the hemlock; Thisinsect is native to Northern "Europe and was introduced into the United States on imported" spruce trees and. thence into Ontario, or it may have been introduced here direct from Europe, as for many years there has been an annual importation of young sprucetrees into Ontario.

T We have tried -togather the beat informa- tion from the best sources and furnish you a rich `variety. If knowledge of plant life means `success, then surely ignorance means failure. _ By all `means the most critical period in the life of a fruit tree, or similar shrub. is during the lust year after it has been transplanted from the nursery. If properly cared for during this period will generally be found invgood con- dition in the following spring, and an- nually therafter. On the other hand, if it` receives a shock during the rst few months succeeding its removal, it is liable never to recover. . i The first care, of course, must be for the roots. `These should be protected from- `excessive dryness, particularly during any period of drouth. For this purpose mulching furnishes the best protection. It may be put en as soon_ as the tree is set, but in any case should be placed` before the ground becomes dry and baked. V It should extend some- what further from the trunk of the tree than the roots are liable` to reach, in order that the smaller ' and tenderer brege may have protection. Articial watering is helpful in times of dryness, but the expedient can never fully take the place of natural moisture of the soil. ' As careful lookout should be kept during this time for insect enemies, and any appear they should be A promptly and `ebctually removed by the most approved means; but in any operations looking to this end care should be taken not to do the young` wood any injury which may possibly be avoided. -Mon- treal Fruit Grower. Farm Paragraphs. Whether or. not it pays to feed some grain to cows on pasture is still squee- tion for discussion. While it seems on its face not to pay, yet upon the whole it has been our custom for years to give at least enough grain, even on thebest pasture. to toll our cows to the stable morning and evening, and more as pas~ tures become aged and less succulent. At the time it may seem that no prot accrues from the added expense, but our experience teaches us that the prot comes in later by keeping the cows from shrinking. After the experience of this` last sea- son every farmer should make sure of a ' supply of feed grains, and in addition to cats it will be found protable to grow some barley. It is excellent cattle and hog feed, and can be fed in considerable quantities `to horses. Bar- ley can be sown late on dirty land, if well ploughed and the seed sown the same day thatthe land 1s ploughed and well harrowed to line it and prevent the soil from drying out. The six-rowed varieties mature early and may be har- vested before most weeds get achance to shell their seeds. I `Fodder corn is much `more easily grown than grass is, and by growing it in the right way-that is, giving it suioient room on the ground partially to mature the ears, it will far surpass any hay in. feeding value, ton for ten. I have grown it in rows three feet apart,'and with seed dropped four-or ve in a place by the planter, two feet apart, and have made fully half as much corn on it as on as eld planted only `The Queen's Reign.

It would be absurd to at- tribute this progress wholly. or mainly , to the reigning monarch ; it would be unjust , to deny that her conduct, her example and her policy have been im- portant factors in the good work. To appreciate the value of a good sovereign it is only necessary to consider all the mischief that has been done by a worth- less, foolish, meddling or obstinate sov- ereign. The personal inuence of the sovereign is a quantity dicult to mea- sure, but by no means to be ignored. In form, the Queen is advised "by her Ministers; in practice her own real- duty and privilege is tocadvise and sug- gest, and it would be rash to assert that Ministers never avail themselves of an experience extending over sixty years. It is diicult to conceive of a wise monarch under our system ever becoming a mere gurehead.-Glo be. No License for Dalston. _ The application of James Lennox for a license to sell liquor at Dalston, was before the Commissioners for a re-hear- ing, at Orillia, on Friday, May 20th. The three Commissioners, Messrs. Al-` port, Fraser and Martin, and Inspector McKay, were present. Mr. R. D. Gnnn, barrister, was present in behalf of Lennox, the applicant, and Mr. D. Inglis Grant, barrister, held a brief for the counter-petitioners, - chief among whom were Rev. 1`. Leggette and Rev. `H. A. Brown, of Dalston. The anti-license deputation consisted of over thirty residents of that portion of 01-0 likely to be affected by the grant- ing of a license, and every man of them was prepared to make aidavit that. in his opinion a liquor license was not only not necessary, but would be the cause of disturbing the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. A number of persons were also pres ent strongly of the opinion that a.` tavern at Dalston would be a boon to the travelling public, and several teati- ed to that effect before the Commis- aionera. It was half past eleven when Chair- man Alpert announced that the Dalston case would be taken up, and with the exception of an hour : intermission tor lunch, the time was fully occupied hear- ing evidence and argument,`until 5.30, when at the close of the addresses of the legal] gentlemen, `the Chairman ordered the room to be cleared in order that the Commieeionersmight deliberate on the question. ` . -nu A .- :u The decision of the Comimiaaionere was waited for with _ eagerness, and when it was announced that the appli- cation had been again refused, expres-} eiona of gladnese were heard from_ the counter-petitioners; who felt that. they were the victors after a sturdy ght.
