i LARGE MEETING AT RLDON

%

Addressed by Massrs. McRae, Dillon, Burke, A. Martin, M.P., and Others,

(By Telephone)

The public hall at Eldon wa: well filled

last evening, the intell gence and enterprise ;

of the #ettlement being largely represented

James Nigboleon, Esq » Occupied the chair. The speeches were interspersed with vocal aud tosramen al musi , Iu the renderiug OF Wloch Misses Martin, Kitson,

and Larraby, and Messrs. Ewen Martin and L,. Larraby took part, Miss Annie McRae being the accompanist. It was noticed that the songs, etc, were wholly Canadian o form and patriotic m sentiment.

Mr. Fred. McRae, of the firm of Jones & McRae, was the ticst speaker. He ex essed his great regret to the and ence on j account of the unavoidable abse -ce of the ut. Governor, and proceeded to encour

the assembled farmers to pro luce iiton a large scale or the foreign mar This, he said, was the first of a ries of meetings to be held throughout the Province for the promotion of frui - uliure. There no donkt whatever that P. E. I-land has a soil and climate eminently saitable for the production of fruitof the very best quality. It would »ey our farmers well to grow strawberries in quantity for the United States market, becaase Our Strawberries are ripe after the crop in the States is past, and because the femand there is untimited for strawberries of the quality that we produce here. Mr. McRae proceeded tu: read au excellent

which we hope future issue, Mr. Dillon agreed with what had been sail concerning the adaptabili'y of the Isiand for fruit production. “He had noticed that fruit grown wild here very productive, and where it growe wild it can certainly be cult-vated to perfection But in order to cultivate it we must firat of all have n anure, ani for manure it is important to keep cattle. He thea pro- cee let to advocate soiling crops for feeding cattle, recommending the growing of win ter rye, peas, oat=, vetches, clover ani backwheat, Corn is, of course, the princi- pal fodder crop, and experience hae proved thatitcan be successfully grown here. Every farmer should have as:!o. Milch cowa should be kept separate from dry stock, and special attention should be given to Another point to which Mr. Dil'on referred was uniformity in tne pgo- duction of butter and cheese. Canada bas a reputation of making and putting on the market the mo-i uniform quality of

cheese of any country in the world. This good name is a greatdeal to us, But our butter on the other hand is noted for its

enevenness Of quality. Our farmers ought to work together to produce butter a: they produce cheese. Our dairy butter sells at considerably lower prices at home and abroad than our factory butter. This led Mr. Dillon to speak of the neceesity of co operation in the production not oaly of cheere, but also of butter, fruit and other things intended for tne outside market His address was attentively listened to and warmly applaudad.

Alex. Martin E+q., M. P. having been called upon by the chairman, addressed

the meeting. He spoke as a practical tarmer. who had taken some interest in fruit eunliure. He was glaito hear that

Mr. McRae proposed to hold a series of meetings throughout the country,and anti- cipated mach practical good therefrom. Much better even than addresses such as those delivered by Messrs McRae and Dillon were the obj-ct lessons afforded by those who cu'tivate ujoo right priccip'es anuj methods. People generally learn more from what they see than from what they bear or read. :

Mr. Wellington Mutch, of Eldon, asked Mr. Henry Burke, of Soutaport, who was present, what kind of winter apples were best adapted to this province.

Mr. Burke replied tbat io his opinion the Bishop Pippin, Ribston Pippin, Blen- heim Pippin, Ben Davis, Mclaotosh Ke, Nertnern Spy, Wealthy, Pewaukee, Col- vert, Hurlburt, and Golden Russet were | varieties which couid be grown in this province to advantage. He produced from his pocket an apple of the Hambledon variety, grown on a tree which he had im- purted direct from England, a large aud handsome epple of extra fine flavor, con cerning the success of which he had great

ope; also an apple from +cions imported lirect from Russia, not so large as the ther, buat of fall medium size and

a good keeper. He spoke of the necessity of close attention to details in the culture of fruit as of other things. A= to p’anting

orchard he advi<ed first, a crop of oa's from sod,then potatoes well manured, and then the planting of the trees among the potatoes. As the crop of potatoes was cul- tivated, soalso would te the trees. Pruning should be done about the first of April. and at no other time. Toyg-zsrafting should | be done just as the buda begin to swell, ' the first or second week in May.

Mr. McRae gave an ocalar demonstration of how top grafting should be done,

Mr. Moore, of Pownal, Mr. W. L Cotton and others made a few remarks.

A vote of thanks was tendered the visit- ing gentlemen, and the meeting broke up with God Save the Queen,

The Seed is the Vital Thing.

Planting must be begun right, else no anount of cultivation or fertilizer can prevent the crop being a failure. The first step is the selection of the seed. Do not take any risks here. Get seeds that you can depend upon—seeds that are fresh, that have a reputation Lehind them. The most reliable seeds grown in this country are Ferry’s Seeds. Wherever-seeds are sown the name of D. M, Ferry & Co., of Windsor, Ont., is a guarantee of quality ad freshnese. The greatest care and strictest caution are exercised in the grow- ing, selection, packing and distribution of their seeds. Not only must they be fresh, but they must be true to pame.

On a par with the quality of the seeds is Ferry’s Seed Annual for 1897, the most comprehensive and valuable book of the kind ever printed. Every plancer, large and «mall, should get, read ant digest this book before planting a single seed. It is free to all who address the firm as above.
