Ins The Farmers Institute system, of Prince Edward Island is twofold in its a: s. It seeks to combine the educa- tion .-.l_features of the Ontario system with the facilities for dealing in live stock afforded by the old Agricultural -Societies plan. Each organization is a Farmers Institute and Agricultural Society combined. A Government- grant of $50 is paid annually to each Society, which has at least` 50 members s enrolled, and collects $40 per year in membership fees. .A sum amounting - to $1,000 was expended in this way last year. The total membership up to December 21st, 1901, was 1624, and the amount subscribed in fees was $911.50. The receipts `of Institutes, all sources amounted to nearly "$2,009. This money was expended in the pur- chase of pure bred stock and in defray- ing the expenses of lecturers. Thirty- three meetings, chiey for purposes of organization were heldiduring the Jrst _7ear. ` At the beginning of the present year a regular series of Institute-meet! ings was arranged and carried out suc-. cessfully. Several speakers were em _' ployed andvarious agricultural `topics were broughtup for discussion, chief among which were Dairying, Hog-rais-- ing and Chicken-fattening. As all at these are live industries at present; the interest manifested in the meeting was great.

'- A CANADIAN EARMEB IN SCOTLAND; Mr. George Buchanan, of Cote St_ Michael, has just returned from a two month's visit to the farming districts of the V United Kingdom, paying especial attention to Scotland. To the Mont: real Witness he said that stock `raising is particularly prosperous in that conn- trv. most of the -stockers being pur- chased in Ireland when they are about eighteen months old, and letter feeding -them on grass for the first month, the Scotch farmers fatten them on oil cake, which isnsed most extensively in the Old Country. They pay all the way from 8 to 10 for the stockers, and sell them at from 15 to 18, the mar- gin being considered a good one. In fact, he says the Scotch tenant farmers are now comparatively well cpl`, and .besides living well they make a good deal of money. Before he went to Scotland he was under the impression that the farmers of that country` were behind the times, but he soon became disabnsed of this idea, when seeing them at work. i ---.-xvi-I _{DwI., nuuqlmua, gnu. .
