Maw 11' PLEAII vouit l.Ixcs:t.i.i:.~rcir;

I h:tve now to present it suiritniiry or digest of the means prtiP°- sed to improve the Agriculture of Prince Eilivard Island and grenlly advance the general interests of in e, prosperit rind cominercoz in doing so, your Bxcolloitcy will please to cortsider. that it is not assumed to be per act; but as iirt elementary outline of an in- tended provision to meet the peculiar circumstances of the Island, It sort of ‘bill’ brought in (ivitlinut perinission) to merit the ex- igencies of the country, to be aiiieitiled and moulded ‘ in com- mittee;‘ subject to this espl;inatioii- that such an establishment ivill answer the following valuable purposes 2-— '

I. It will iitiiiiedialely, beaeticially, and profit.ibly etiiploy it large rtiitouiit of labour, in collecting nttd preparing tlto organic triat- ter that now lies utterly useless in the sea and on the land; but by suclt labour will be rendered conducive to the agricultural im- provetiient rind eiirieltiitoiit of the country; the capititl employed will iriintcdirttely circulate through all the channels oftritde, and the highest llllt‘ es’ be paid for its a e

2. It will. when brought into full operation. greatly increase the amount of the circulatiiig iiicdiuin of the country, and thus in- crease the facilities of tritde, uitd secure the more proitipt pavmeitt of debts. '

It will greatly improve the ‘ I"isliery ’—-secure it constant good I"isli-rrtarket iii (Jliarli-ttctown, and will reward the lisliertiiieri,ns, wlietlier the price I have fixed is enough or not, we can alliitd to pay them as iiittcli as can be required.

It will create a sound security for small capital, in transfera- blc sliarcs, paying the highest interest at lowed.

5. It will supply the fariiier with what he most needs to malts his fartn prolit.ilile—-a supply ofsititablii rttztnaru for the growth of root crops, and to improve the staple oftlie soil—-of the best avail- able ltiiirl—iii tho llltl.iI useful form—at llio lowest possible price, and on the eztsiesl tr-rniii ofpriyiiient.

6. It will iilliird it sound practical instruction, in farming, to the riding geiteritioii, on {I self-tcacliiiig I|lI(I self-supporting principle that cannot fail to liiirigtlie young litriiters into ‘life,’ prepared to carry out their calling III a itianrier at once improving to the country, and creditable, l|l|lltIl’.IlJl0 antl prolitrible to tlteinselvca.

7. It will enable the f.iriiii.-r to devote all his time to his farming opernlioiis at the proper time ofctiltivatioii, and also to extend the area of his cultivatii-ii, tliert-by inert.-iisiiig his profits and greatly di- iiiiiiisltiiig the olistiicles to siiccessful agriculture, occusiotictl by the long and severe \\'llIIlEl’ of this cniiniry.

8. It will proviile the f-iriiier with the very best ninnarc, to his hrinrl, t|i:it would trike him a long time to collect, and which he could not properly prepare, allowing him all the time of suci co‘- loelion and prepriratiurt to be rttuclt better employed irt p.ep:iring his land for the crop.

. twill enable the l'.irnier to breed and rear a much larger quantity of stock, in iitucli better condition, riiaking tlteiii eligible for sale, at least two years earlier t|i:iii now, rind of much larger weight and I)I!lIt.'I' qn.i|it_v; ill the same time to trirtnufacturo a con- st-iiitly iricrt.-ti~ing tlririglii I for the grim th of grain.

I’). It will provide the tiieaiis by which capital may employ labour in recovering I.'XlliIlIt‘I9tI sltvllv, and thus introduce an. ngiiuu tural aristocracy, so much needed to develops the benefits of agri- culture to the coiiiritunity, and render it tenfold more prolitable to the sitiall farmer and the lrtbiiurcr, by opening markets for lean ati ll onr,——:tnd also by encouru ing the irntnigriition of that class of farmers who are better iible to feed stock rind etiiploy In- bour; it will enable the farmer to grow, freely, substitutes for the ptititto, which appears to be dooiried, by an nl -wise Providence, to ll still riiore protmcted inhibition; perhaps, to avert similar cala- mitiiss that reitultr.-rl front their too gieiicrril use, in tlic lrttid that been their n:tiiie, iii wltich it contributed very largely to foster iitdoleitce and disease.

II. It will enable the farmer to priy his rent, and prevent hint dre.-itiiing about an l-‘.sr'lii-,:il Iii-prt-si.-titiitive, who will be its little desirid. and its little iiei-dcil M the Sliet'ill"s o|ll"r:r or the IV:-evil.

I2. .-\iid l.st lltll i.- ASI, it will ttllullld the proprietor to sell his property, \\’l|t‘Ill"l’ ~-xliii-sled or llni*.\lI«'lll‘ilI:tI; and if he \\lll take, in g art,n few hints from rt liieitd, it will enable him to re- cover liis res cried coalition among-t his tenaritry and prevent the miserable dilltpiilittion which he suffers, without iebu re, on his property—botli its treasures and its oritrtiiieiils-—devust:ition, steri- lity and poverty, that makes even it stranger wee i to look at it.

These high expectations, your Excclleiicy, are not expected frotn rt cotiipost-iiittnure-lieiitp, in its titers nbslritct power ofenricltiiietit. bitt as setting in operation a rrtdical practical princip'e, that once set fairly agoiii-,;, will so expand the rtgricultaritl mind rind excite the agricultural energy. by immediate profttiible results, as viill, I believe, fully ttceoiiiplislt what sortie cool calculators may, perhaps, consider utopiitn; but when fairly inquired into and duly estimated, tiiy observations and descriptions will not he found entlittsiastic.

The ingredients I have selected to prepare the manure may not be the best, but I think they are the but we can get at, at present; and as it respects the pro.-scripliort, the relative priiporriotis may need tl little niodilicatiort; and as it respectsi the cost, may not be perfectly accurate; but I believe I l.|llI suliicieiitl so to form rt souriti estiiiiato oftlie tiittount of money required to bring the whole ittto operation, and that one tliuiisand poutirls \\ ill supply the outfit, and two thousand pounds ii stillicieiit \\'0fI(I!I*_ capital. hate not mcitlitmed the income that would accrue as graniiry rent and work- ing charges upon the manure, without iricreistiig the price beyond my etipiilatioii; and together it iii:iy bo iii:ide to pry its way in per- fcct safcty,snd pay itbaiidarit inti.-rest——tlie money beingoiily requir- ed in sri all instalments, spread over two years.

I now take my leave of your Excellericy, as Governor, and re- quest you to halt! a court, in the capacity of l.ord Chain.-ellor, at which I will next week enter ll suit, praying r-.oitaiit izzjunctions upon certain finial, who.-io present cnii.luct i- highly detririierittil to the interests ofegriculture in Prince Edward slaiid.

To AVOID Cot.os.—'I‘he best way to avoid catching cold is to nceiistom yourself to the rim of -pongin ' d water every morning on that getting out of bed. It should be followed with a good deal of rubbing with I dry towel. It has considerable effect in ivingtanetothe skin. and maintaining a proper action in it, rtndtbas proves a IlIft9‘lIllftI‘ the injurious influence of cold and sudden changes of teitrperuture. Sir Astloy Coo ter said :—' The methods by which I have preserved my own lie.-ii th sre—teiiiprr_-

Art-t.tca1~ioiv or GALVAKIC Ac1'ioir.—In the Mn- drus Spectator, September 18. it is stated, that it person in that town has discovered in substance which he calls fibre (what it is re- mains it secret). which, uitder galvanic action, contracts suddenly to one-fourtlt of it length, ' its war being equal to 100 lb. on every square inch of its sectionallzurfacefl ’I‘lte inventor litis con- struct ' ' pow r. A reci rocating beam attached to an ordinary crank, with Iy-wheel of about fovr feet in diameter. is fitted at each end with I cylindrical piece of the fibre, insulated by a plate of glass. Near the frame is I small galvanic battery. Operations are begun giving a shock from this battery to one of the pieces of fibre, whic immediately and violently contracts, drawing the beam down that side, and of course communicating motion to the c.niik and fly-

cel. So soon as the centre lnts been turned, another shock gi- ven to tlieo site piece of fibre conliitues the motion; and the shocks being alternately repeated, the fly-wheel soon gains an enormous speed.--./Irc tlect.
