The annual meetings of the East Victoria Farmers’ Institute were held in Bobcaygeon on Tuesday and in Fen- elon Falls on Wednesday of this week; and, while at Bobcuygcon the hall was well filled at two of the sessions and crowded to overflowing at the third, in this village the attendance was even in the evening no more than one-fil'th ol' what Dickson’s ball will hold, while at the opening of the morning and after- noon sessions barely twenty persons were present, even including.r thosc upon the platform. The factâ€"which we are sorry to be compelled to admitâ€"that. the i'armcrsaround Fenclon Falls do not appear to be as anxious as those in ,the vicinity of Bobcaygeon - to show. ‘their appreciation of the efforts made in their behalf by the Ontario Government was not the only cause of'. the slim at,- tcndnncc here. There was another, {which we hardly like to- mention, asto do 30- looks as iiitwe hat “ an axe to fgrhtdt’”; but the officials who have the Fwdlixcrtising of the meetings are a great ideal. tooeconomicnl in theirexpenditure 'on pr.iin.-tcr’s.ink.

John D.:blaylor, the late presidcnuotig the Institute, was elected chairman in the absence of the new president, Mr. Morgan ,onhns, who arrived a little. latcrxand conducted the proceedings duringthorestol'. the day. After an opening speech by .Mr. Naylor, and a good speech it was, ,too,.(b'ut Mr. Naylor speaks far better than he votes),- Prol‘. Panton took the floor and a. .lead pencil, and, pointing with the latter when occasion required, at a well execu-. ted chart covered with illustrations of his subject, gave a most clear and inter- esting account of the life history of various kinds of' fungi, which are vegeâ€" table parasites that live onâ€"plants and are pronounced as though spelt with a “ ” instead of' with a “ g.” The Pro- f'cssor was followed by Mr. Jackson, who read an address on sheep raising, in the course of which the subject of dogs was dealt with. Dogs, it is well known, are the greatest enemies t-f wool and mutton growers, some of' whom advocate the general introduction of' Dorset sheep, both sexes of which have horns, and, as though aware of the advantages of these weapons, are more inclined to turn upon their canine assailants than Ready-matte Glcthing at Cost for Cash for 39‘, Days. w.- ..l'i‘lvery Article a Bargain. --~ R LA Perhaps Yaw Want a New Stctgit or“ Cutter on THE OLD ONE FIXED um;- H you do. it Will pay you to visit S.

' ’ breeders think that the introduction of‘ a goat or two into every flock would have the desired effect, as a goat of average pugnncity isn‘t the least afraid of, and is more than a match for, an ordinary dog, and is ready to give battle the moment one makes its appearance. At the afternoon session Mr. Johns. president of the Institute, ofliciated as chairman. and at the end of a pertinent but briol' address introduced Joseph Yuill, Esq, who gave, in plain farmer’s language, his experience with “ silos and eusilagc," of which he'is an ardent advocate, but of which Mr. Naylor ol' Feuelou, who built one two or three years ago. does not think a great deal. Mr. Nnylor’s experience wont to show that turnips were a cheaper feed than cusilaue; but Mr Yuill said his expcri- I once was totally different. and he gave figures to prove that he had produced butter at a considerably less price per pound by using cnsilugc as a staple food to with great attention, and towards its close The discussion was listened Mr. Yuill said that he had l'ormerly been a great turnipgrower, and still raised a few, probably because it was hard to give up a bad habit; but he considered them l'ar inl'erior to ensilage, and he thought that if Mr. Nayior would use smaller corn than he had experi- mented with, and raise fewer stalks to the acre, he would be better satisfied with the result. Mr. Jackson then gave some excellent advice on “ The care and management of stock,” and a lecture on “ The plant and the soil," by Professor Panton, concluded the session. The evening session, which was far better attended than either oi" the others, several ladies being present, was opened, after a few rcnmrks from the chairman, by a song, “ Be careful. what you sow. boys,” by Dr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson play ing the accompaniment. at the conclu- sion of which they had to leave to meet an engagement elsewhere. Prof'. Panton then delivered a lecture on “The sun in relation to life," wl'tich we fancy the majority of his hearers considered the most interesting of the- series. 'Mr. Thos. Robertson of Vernlaut. followed with an excellent and somewhat. lengthy speech on various farm topics. Miss Wilson (eldest daughter of Mr. J. J. Wilson, of Eenelou) sang in a sweet and powerful voice the appropriate song, “ Boys, stay on the farm," the accom- paniment being played by her: sister Maud, who. afterwm-ds gave a choice musical selection. The last address was by Mr. guill on. “ Winter Dairying," which is fast becoming the mainstay of Canadian. farmers, and regarding which it behooves them to learn all they pos- sibly can. at the earliest possible moâ€" ment, as it bids fair to be their chief source of income in. the near future. A few remarks from-some hall'dozen lead- ing farmers, who were called upon by the chairman, and. the customary votes of thunkswoncluded. the proceedings.

In Which Lickecl ‘?’.‘ We would have given a year of our life (one of the past years, we mean) to have witnessed the last-beenthing-histor- ical bout at fisticufl's in Lindsay on the 2nd inst. between Major Sam Hughes, M. P. we are sorry to say for North Vic- toria, and Mr. Kylie, recve of our county town ; for, to think that an event of such interest to the whole community should come off in the Face of day, and that the thousands of anxious inquircrs as to how it eventuated are bullied by the Conflicting statements that have been given to the world, is sitnply maddening. Even the Toronto Globe, which is pretty good at elucidating as a general rule, doesn’t elucidate worth a cent in this articular instance, and its three-quarters of'. a- column on the absorbing topic, iu~ stead of-hcing a leading article, should have been under the heading of “ Notes undigCommentsp" According to Sam's- own account in the Warder he showed! himself to be a model of pluck and for». bearauce, and came OE conqueror in the strife; although he was encumbered Jay-a . heavy overcoat, usedonly onedmnd and held 'a pair of' mittens all the. time in the other, though the loss ofibne of. them. wouldn’t have tnattered,l amthe con- stituency intends to give him another. All. the other » accounts differ widely i’rom.8am’s,. asserting-that the. only} knocking down was.dcne bythe move, and as an account- that we saw in a private letter: agrees with the Watch, man’s statement that Sam “ attempted to evade punishment by burying his face in the snow," we look upon that point as settled. Then there is the question of‘ gore: did both parties, or only one of' them, lose any, and, if so, how much? The Wurdcr docs not use the word at all; but the Watchman distinctly avers that “ the beautiful snow was saturated with human gore, or. rather, editor's gore ”‘;. which is certainly rather a queer way of' putting to weekly submit to mutilation. Other 1 it, as it raises a suspicion that, in the u x _ ' I «1 Dundas 8: FlavelleBrothcrs, Dealers in Dry Goods, Clothing, Milling-.35; " Watchman's opinion, editors are not human. It is,'therei‘ore, tolerably cer- tain that Sam Hughes lost more or less blood, enough, at any rate. to prove that, instead of being blue, as he would have had us believe, it was just the same color as the blood of bulls and of goats. But the public wants, and will not, be satisfied without. a Full and reli- able account of the momentous event. So far the Post and Watchman are at a disadvantage, as neither of them had a reporter present, while the Wurderhnd. We would suggest that the Ottawa Government. send a couple of commis- sioners to inquire into the matter and report; but Sum, who has more influâ€" ence down there than we have, would be sure to veto it ; and if the member: of the Empire stnfi'whn have acquired Fame by writing upthe Williams murder were to go to Lindsay, Sam Would Send them back with floats in- their cars. ' There really seems to be no way of. get- ting at the facts but For the Globe to give the task to a pair of reporters, one a peacoâ€"ucauy-pricc man had the other an admirer of the manly art.
