state, he goes forward the more easily.

It may be arged that the success of each ndividual will secure general prosperity ist a3 surely asthe total abstinence of

each individual will prevent drankenness, and that: is only necessary for each in~ dividual to strive in his own way to pro- mote his own selfish ends, to bring about those cacditions of general prosperity in which individual suceess may best be pro- moted. In thie argument there is cer- tsinly a greatdeal ot uth. Selfsinterest has been the motive, and independent in- lividua!l action has been the babit, of the British people fand tae people of the Usited States to a greater extent, perhaps, than those of any otber nation ; and they are the wealthiest, individually aad nationally, and they have produced those cunditions in which lies the success of the individual, striving to promote his own selfish ends, is the most rapid and the most sure.

Yet I think it will be admitted that if the principle of co-opera:ion, instead of that of competition, had found free course in these great nations, the success of the individusl and of the whole popalatiou would have been even more pronounced theu it has. But whatever doubt taere may be as to the value of the principle of co-operation applied to these extensive communities, there can be no doubt concerning its yalue in the compara- tively smail cowmunity of farmers coms prehended within the limits of little Prince Edward Isl.nd.

lo one sense, cc -operation is essential to every form of legitimate commerce. The producer of an article dieposes of it for his cwn benefit; the buyer pays his money and t kes tcearircle for his own benefi:. Phere is co-operation from different points of interest, aod the interest of both parties ig pcmoted. Se in all honest desliogs between man and man, community and community, na.ion and uation. Commerce is Co-Operation and commerce is mu ually advapt.g 2u2; pnrely eeltish though the motive i: on the part of each individual ergaged ia \'. There are, however, circum stances ia which, eelf-interes: can only be promoted by the association aad cooperation of anumber of persons. Th-ee circume siances were fouad in the dairy industry of this province. Several! cheese factories were es'ablished here, yeara seo, before the principle of co-operation was properly applied. They failed,—the dairy interest of Prince Edward Island could never have beep made wha’ it isif it were wo. for the co-operation of a uumber ef its progres- sive farmers in a business-like way. We have tothank Profeesor Robertson, in whose brain the idea was conceived, and we have tothaok Mr. Jillon, by whose honest and efficient and persistent effort the idea was practically worked out and our farmers taught how te co operate in respect to the praduction of milk and the manufacture ani sale of butter and cheese,

Now, my idea, the idea that I wish to bring before the Farmers and Dairymeo’s Aseociation for consideration and discus- sion, ie that the principle of co-operation, succes+fu!lv applied in the production and sale ot butterand cheese, may be alee «uc- cessfully applied in uther linea of action within which farmers have heretofore been uccustomed to operate iodependently. Essentials to all successful co-operation are efficiency and honesty of management. Those who co-op2rate must, if they are ‘o succeed, feel and know that their preduc~

quality tbat they will sell at good prices on the market, and they must feel and know that the results of their co-operation, the profits of their just enterprise acd action, will be promptly received by each and aliof them in due proportion. But given reasonable guarantees forsuch effi- cient and honest management, it seems to me that our farmers might, with profit to themselves individually and advantage» ously to the country at large, extend the principle of co-operation into several ad- ditional departments of farm. production.

Take for example the breeding and sale of sheep end lambs.'There is in the great cities of the Eastern States and the smaller tewas of the neighboring provinces a grow- ing demand for lamb and mutton, and we have high lands in this province,’ distant from the sea manure and bog mud that is used to fertilize the iand in other sections of the country—upen which sheep and lambs may be produced in perfection. Suppose the farmers of these districts were to agree to eO~operate in the rearing and sale of sheep and Jambs—and the destruc-

sheep, preferred by the majority, were to obtain a few males suitable for their pure pore, and were to carry on the work regu. larly and systematically tkroughout a series of years,am I wrong in concluding that the results of such co-operation would certainly be the gradual improvement of the fertility of their farms, the gradual improvement and enlargement of their sn anoually resur ‘ing hot competition among dealers for 1e purchase of their lambs and sheep on yale, the receipt of the highest prices ob- aiaable in the «markets, and additional rosperity on the part of each indiyidual seme co-operating.

As to the modus opevandi, it seems to

re tha: the orgaoization aad incerporation f joint stock .compauies would + ugavceasary. A farmers’ elubin any listrict wight appoint a committee to take nand, with some energetic vid reso ;as ble uao of business ia whom hey have confilence to conduct the ne vessary corresovndence, make salea by veight in the best markets, distribute the ‘eturas according to the number of pounds supplied by each member and ‘aomit a fall aod clear statement of the whole transaction at the eadofthe year, [ have no doubt that if it were known to the dealers that lambs and sheep of a uni- formly good quality could, year after year, ba obtaiaed at one place io sufficient aumbers to make one shipment at one time, there would be a material increase of the price paid per pound for the api- wals. Say thata hundred farmers in a neighborhood were prepared to sell a thousand first-class sheep or lambs for shipment without loss to the dealer, is it not reasonable to conclude that a half- cent or perhaps a cent per pound more would be offered and paid for them than if the dealer had, as at present. te go up and down theceuntry seeking out and select- ing two or three here or there, of various degrees of quality,and afterwards gather them together to be driven er carried by railto Summerside or Charlottetown or other seaport? I think so. A cent a pound on a hundred ,pound lamb would be one .dollar, and on athousand lambs a thousaad dollars, ‘quite a reund sum to be added to a farmers’ club receipts on account of the sale of sheep and lambs, evenafter a fair per centage were paid to defray the cost of management.

Then there are those interesting animals, the pigs, about which we have lately had a great deal of talk. Would it not be pos- sible for our farmers to 80 co-operate to-~ gether in respect tojthe breeding end ferding of pigs, that a better and more uniform article of pork would be produced here than that which is at present placed upon Our markets ; and in respect to their rale,jthatitbe competition of dealers would be excited in the effort to obtain them, rather than our farmers should be com- pelled to take whatever emall price per pound the city dealer might choose to offer? Suppose a hundred farmers, more or less, in acommuaity should agree to co-operate for the production of the beat quality of Yorkshire, Tamworth, O. I. C. or other treed of improved hegs, is it not probable that their co-operation in a reasonsble aud business-like way would re- su't beneficially to one and all, that the quality of the pork they produced would be of the best and tbe price considerably higher tuan that paid for the ordinary kieds? I think +o. The regrettable estrangement that at present prevails be- tween Our farmers aod our pork factory must, ere ‘ong, give place to aic- able rela'ions, and both parties be con- strained to act reasonably—each in his own respective interest. In thie connec- tioo,l msy without giving an opiuioa con- cerning the merits of the di+pute, express

my great regret that more use is not made of the Charlottetown pork factiry. Itis to be noted that even dur-

ing the past falland the present wiater the prices paid at the factory were consid erably better for the farmer than those which were paid on the street for dead carcasses, The factory price for live hogs ranged from 3} to 44 cents, the aver- age oeing4 bout 4; the pricejpaid for dead carcasses bought in the market, ranged chitfly from 4} to 4§ cents, a few going as bigh as 5 cenis, but the average being 44 or4;. Now there is from acest toa cent and a quarter difference in the value of the pig alive and dead. ‘That isto say, four cents per pound for a live pig ié equal to 5c. or 5}c. per pound for the | pig when dead. So that the price paid at the factory this year has been at least half acent per pound better for the farmer

for this province ay a whole. sult has heen obtained in the existing | conditiuns of mon-confidence on both sides, is it not likely that if the cu~Operative principle were Japplied to pig rearing, aad confideace restored, farmers able to supply pigs ofthe highest quality by the car load, would obtain an advant- age of more than half a cent—perhaps a cent or upwards of a cent per pound—by

the sale of live bogs instead of dead ones In any case it seems to me that farmers will command higher prices as a result of

co-operation in the production of hogs of higher quality than they do now when everyone breeds and feeds and sells hogs independently of every other one. |

In the same way the co-9perative prins ciple might,ia my opioion,be successfully applied to the production of fowl aod eggs, Of whieh Mr. Gilbert spoke to you this evening. I have frequently heard complaints, om the part ofdealers, con- ceraing the unequal quality of the eggs brought to market in Charlottetowa,— some are large, some are small, some white, some brown, and frequeatly al! mixed up, 80 that the buyer is eo npelled to pay @ lower price than he would b: glad te pay if ths quality of the eggs were geod and equal. As to fowl there must, of mecessity, be co-@peration if it should be decided to make shipments to Great Britain according te the plan that has been outlined by Professor Robertson. Its extension to the rearing of horses and cattle of the better kinds, would of course be dependens largely upon the possession of means of transport t> the great markets of the Mother Country, Bat if these animals, well bred and in high condition, were available here in sufficient quantities, the steps to take them to market would in ordimary times 8000 come to our ports,

These ideas aud suggestions are sub- mitted to you, Mr. President and gentle- mea, inthe hepe that you may consider and perhaps discuss them aad that they may eventuate in a small advance teward that happy cendition in which our farm- ers will obtain remunerative prices for what they have to sell and that glorious time, to which the poet Tennyson leoked forward,—

* Whea each man finds his owa men’s good J

And all men work in noble brother-

hood,”

I feel sure that ifthe principle of co~ operation, 80 succceefully applied to the production of butter and cheese, were ex- tended as I have suggested, it would inure to the advantage of each individual farmer eagaged in it and promote.the prosperity and wealth of the people of thie province.

The hunter, the trapper, the fish- erman, the lum- berman and all out-door workers who are exposed “yy to the rigors of VY either an ex- tremely cold of an extremely hot climate, need to exercise especial vigilance in the care of their health. A trifl- ing derangement of the digestive organs may re- sult in the improper nourishment of the body and a broken down condition of the entire system. With a man in this condi- tion, a slight cold may lead to consumption, or exposure in a warm cliimate may result in a persistent attack of malaria and liver complaint.

Malaria, liver troubies and consumption are fully treated in Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, a free paper-covered copy of which may be had by sending 2: one-cent stamps, to cover cost of mailing only, to the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Buffalo, N. Y. These diseases are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It makes the appetite hearty, the digestion perfect, the liver act- ive and the blood pure. It does not make flabby fat, but solid, muscular flesh, nerve force and vital energy. All medicine deal- ers sell it.

“In the year of 1892 I came home from a hard oa ride, attending my official business as an officer of my county, in which capacity I have acted eight years,’’ writes Mr. R. D. Hill, of Zan- to, Louisa Co., Va. “I hada chill that night that was the commencement of Malarial Fever. I called in the doctor, but did not get any relief. I called a second doctor, but still got no relief. A third doctor said I had liver disease, and treated me for that; but did me no good. I than com- menced taking Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery, in connection with ‘ Pleasant Pellets.’ I took three bottles and it did me much good. I
