AGRICULTURAL HALL.

Agricultural Hall is about 200 feet long and 100 feet wide. At the end opposite the doorway a space has been partitioned

| off as amodel dairy; and here it is that | Professor Sheldon gives his exhibitions and his lectures. The Manitoba exhibit, of /which mention has already been made, occupies about twenty feet of space across the building; and the exhibits from the | other Provinces are placed on tables run- }ning lengthwise over the very large space |}which remains. Two of the tables are | covered chictly with APPLES, | Apples of the very first quality are grown in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The latter Province has what they call a repre-

tion particularly to the centrifugal machine for separating the cream from the milk. The centrifugal motion of the machine impels all the heavier particles (or cream) in the wilk to the onter cireumference of \the machine while the lighter (or skim ,milk) remains in the middle. It can only | be used in large dairies for the cost of the machine is $300; and in this country we must for the most part continue using the /pans orthe creamers. Deep setting had been tried in the old country, but had to be given up for lack of ice, and then farm- ers were reduced to the alternative of using | the old fashioned milk pan or the centri- |fugal machine. There is no doubt, what- | ever, that with skill and attention, as good | butter can be made here as in any other jcountry. Butter makers should bear in

where the exhibits were being judged. The competition was exceedingly keen. Breed- ers in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are rapidly improving their steeds and herds;

to exert themselves if they wish to keep

the lead. But the Island is, as one of our farmers remarked this evening, ‘‘doing very well considering its size.” The fol-

|The writer counted in it 114 | Varieties | The individual

;

and Deacon, are not among the exhibitors | of fruit; for their products would have | compared very favorably with those of the | Sister Provinces, good as they are. Besides the apples there is a fine exhibit of pears, grapes, plums, crab apgles, etc., showing the capability of the Lower Previnces to produce all the fruit in ordinary use that their people require. ROOTS, ETC.

The potatoes make a very large exhibit and are in great variety, though not so large as specimens exhibited in other years. The exhibits from the Island in this depart- ment are excellent. Turnips, mangolds, beets, carrots and other roots, make a large show, not onlyin number, but in size. As to squashes, those from the Island are cast into the shade by a mammoth one from Lunenburg which, they say, ‘‘has been drinking milk all summer.” But Mr. Mc- Neill, our indefatigable secretary, has not lost heart, and silences every remark un- favorable to the Island with the declaration, “It isn’t fit for human food; its only fit for cattle |”

BUTTER AND CHEESE.

A large part of one of the tables is covered with butter tubs, firkins, jars and bottles. The butter exhibit makes it quite evident—if we did’nt know it before—that there are very very many farmers wives who think they make ‘‘the very best butter going.” It will puzzle the butter judges to come toa right judgment; and while the winners will be lucky, those who lose the prizes will be able to comfort themselves with the thought that they do so in good company. Among those who enter into competition with the Mill View Creamery Company, Mrs. Fer- guson and other Island exhibitors, are butter makers so celebrated as Messrs. Carlin, of London, Ontario, Grosvennor, of Nova Scotia, and S. L. Peters, of New Brunswick. While speaking of the butter exhibit, it will be in order to refer to Mr. Henry Coombs’ improved patent butter tub. It is decidedly the best butter tub on exhibition; and the comment of Char- Jottetonians, as they pass by, is ‘‘Henry has struck it at last.” If the tub does’nt cost too much, there is no doubt of its success in the butter market.

The factories are competing keenly for the cheese paize, those of Sussex, N. B.; London, Ont.; Hampstead, N..B. St Eleanor’s, P. E. I.; Belfast, P. E.I.; Mill- view, P. E. J., and Cornwall, P. E. L, being among the number. Among the individual exhibits we are pleased to notice those of Mrs. Robert Jones, Lot 49, and Mrs. Abbott, of Union Road.

GRAINS, Here again we have a good competition. On the whole the grains seem to be just as good as those of Manitoba; and those from the Island rank very high. We know s0 much about grain that we can’t be taught much in this department,—and so pass on to the CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS shown by Messrs. Jack & Bell, of Halifax. As these artificial manures are rapidly growing intu favor, and as it is found that their prudent application pays, a few words about them may interest reader of THE Examiner. Messrs. Jack & Bell’s exhibit consists of ceres, super-phosphate, bone meal, meridian bone, ground bone, and nitro-phosphate,a fertilizer for Strawberries; and they claim to be the only firm in the Maritime Provinces, who themselves pre- pare and manufacture these high grade manures. The value of bone consists in its bone phosphate and ammonia, both of which are essential in the growth of plants and are combined in the bones of animals

in a valuable form; so that bones are, if we only knew it, of very great value to the farmer. The

super-phosphates contain, in addition to bone phosphates, certain percentages of ammonia and potash, and itis claimed that they are a ‘‘complete fertilizer,” because they contain the three -most important elements needed in the growth of plants. Messrs. Jack & Bell show a number of certificates—one of them from Mr. Abram Gill, of Little York. THE JNCUBATOR.

The inevitable incubator is also here; and chickens are being hatched every hour in the day. The eggs are placed in riddle- | bottomed drawers, and the drawers are enclosed in a not very large box; and a little hot water, kept hot by the heat from a kerosene lamp keeps up the steam and does the business. We don’t like to see man or woman either usurp the work of nature,; we don’t like to see even the clucking hen cheated out of her natural rights and pleasures; and therefore we do not like the incubator.

THE SUBMERGED FORCE-PUMP.

This is one of the exhibits which should be introduced in the Island. The price is only $12.00, and pipe to reach to the bottom of the well is supplied at thirty cents per foot. It is claimed that ene of them will last a farmer a lifetime. The valve, or whatever it is that forces the water up, is at the bottom of the well; and the moment pumping is stopped all the water in the pipe runs back into the well, and cannot, therefore, be frozemin winter or warmed by the sumer sup. The pump is double acting, and while working the flowof water in itis continuous. By apply- ing hose, a steady stream of water may be thrown a distance of fifty feet or more, and in this way it is exceedingly valuable in case of fire. It works easily, is cheap, and seems to be a much better pump than others we have seen which cost a great deal more. It is made and exhibited by Walter A. ‘Ritchie, Wlimot, Spa Springs, Annapolis County, Nove Scotia,
