Your Society can do still more towards the accomplishment of that end. You can do things that will be entirely creditable to the race and blood to which yovL belong, to the breed from which you have sprung, and to the insti- tution Jn which you have been trained. And the more you do, so much the better will it be for Can- ada and for the world. A VISION OF AGRICULTURE. President J. B. REYNOLDS, Ontario Agricultural College. Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Dreaming on Things to Come. There are those who dream, and those who execute. The dream is the thing. Nothing has been ac- complished in human progress that has not previously been dreamed. Amos Cruickshank dreamed the Shorthorn, and Cecil Rhodes dreamed the world-wide influence of the British Empire. Blessed are thev who can dream. and blessed are they who can exe- cute. Twice blessed are they who can both dream and execute. The dreamer is an idealist. He dreams of the perfect, of heaven. Heaven is the vision of fulfilled desires. Scorn not dreams because they seem impossible. For impossible as they are, they lift us nearer to the heaven of our desire. Agriculture has invited the dreamer of all times. The wilder- ness and the solitary place shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain in the first month, and the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, and the cankerworm, and the ca- terpillar. And ye shall eat in plenty
