Kydd, and Barbour, was rendered to a small but appreciative audience. The chair was ably filled by Mayor Hunter, who. after a brief address on the manufactures and industries of Durham, called on Mr. Wm. Ram- age, who responded with a couple of good vocal selections. Mr. Barbour was next and zaye a very interesting address on "The Farmer’s Son.” After congratulating the citizens of Durham on having the fortune to select a "farmer’s son” as their Chief Executive. launched forth into his subject. which he handled very scientifically. He explain- ed verv plainly the benefits farmers received from the Agricultural Col- lege at Guelph, and advised every one who could possibly do so to take one, at least, course there. He contrasted the great difference, as regards associations, especially, between the farm and city youth The former had not the same chance to contract the bad habits that the latter are forced into daily contact with, namely, saloons, gambling houses, and the many vices met with every day in the cities and large towns. Again, the country lad in a great many cases. is dissatisfied with his lot, and apt to think his is the hard side of life; leaves the farm and goes to the city, looking on the bright side of a city lad’s life, keep in mind the few successes, but never stopping to consider the many failures. But then, Mr. Barbour doesn’t blame him altogether. Par- ents, themselves, are too apt to grumble in front of children, and complain of their own lot, thus mak- ing them dissatisfied, before they come to an age of usefulness,lnot stOpping for a moment to consider the many advantages they have over their city brethren. Clearer skies. purer atmosphere, healty toil that begets the strong, robust constitu , tions so characteristic of the country youth. The government recognizes the farmers’s sons, and is continually spending money for their benefit; wants more farmers, who are educat ed. if not in the way a city man should go, an edtcation more benefi- cial to his special class. If a man wants to be a doctor, he educates himself for the profession, and any other profession the same. Why should not a man who wants to be a ,lfarmer. educate himself for such, [land instead of thinking his work be- l low him, as beneath that of his sup ’posedly better off city brethren, ‘ make it rank as one of the profes- lsions of the day. l | l To keep boys on the farm, is is} necessary to abolish the old time' custom of working from (lawn to dark. Abolish slavery and adopt a ten hour system and see what a change it. will make. Give him some- thing to take an interest in; some stock of hls own.

Give your boy a High School education. If this is impossible. as it meets with his disfavor. give him a term at the Agricultural College at Guelph, the best of its kind in the world. Students are there from all iparts of the world, learning to farm land adopting the modern methods of [the educated Canadian farmer.

Mr Barbour,s addrgss and though ’â€" Misses Jessie Munro and Ida Wil- son rendered several prettv selec- tions, being forced on every occasion to re-appear. while Mr Geo. Wright furnished some splendid music on the organ. Mr Kydd’s address for the evening was “A Stitch in Time Saves Nine” :1 After a few preliminary congratula-i tory remarks, Mr KYdd embarked on his subject, handling it in magnifi- cent style, interspersing with more than one humorous selection, in keeping and touching on his address. He is a man who has farmed in “Bonnie Scotia,” where land rents at $20 per acre, and also miles from the railroad, where his only fuel consist- ed of corn stocks and sunflowers. He has thus seen the good and bad of it. or as he phrases it "roses and ithornsi’ He explained how last year therel had been eXpended in the neighbor-: hood of slot'),()oo for the benefit Ofl the farmers. and was at a loss to} know whether it had been Spent? beneficially or otherwise. He could not see any enlightenment on farm- ing by going to a Fall Fair, as they were conducted at present and watch- ingacouple of old “skates” “go It Rube.” which would not sell for $25. Baloon ascensions generally, are not very good educators on how to keep worms out of a wheat field. ancl the only persons who seemed to make any money were the fakirs with the gambling (lev1ces. On the average farm. the dwelling house is generally inferior in con- struction and looks to the outbouses and this should be changed. At a small expense fences could be built. trees planted and the dwelling paint- ed. little thing that noc only beautify. out protect the place during the cold winter months. Mr. Kydd referred briefly to the methods of Hog killing in Chicago The bristles used in brush factory, the bones in the glue factory. the intestines for drugs are economic uses of parts of the animal that went to waste twenty-five years ago. The snout-1 are now considered a great table deicacy. Reference was also made to thel great waste throughout Ontario by keeping cows that do not yield a profitable return for the outlay. This question has already received so. much attention through the press that it is hardly necessary to go into particulars here. l Farmers as a rule leave home suf- ficiently. \Vholosale gallivanting is not. advocated, but a. trip the Model Farm and College at Guelph would be a benefit to any observing farmer. If you can’t do this, visit. some suc- cesful farmer. He’ll always be wild ling to tell how he did it. Cooperation or Go besion was: strongly advocated, but in every ‘ case be honest. It has been proven that Ontario apple packers are not honest. Manitoba purchasers now buy from British Columbia, owing to this. and claim that if the apples shipped are not generally of so good aquality. there is more uniformity. Don’t put the big ones at each end and culls in the centre. PHHDU v- vav the coast. would baa almoéé more than it was worth. Mr Kydd’s remarks were concise and to the point, andevery one was heartily satisfied with the address.
