OUR FARMERS’ NEED.

How. Mr. Fisher thinks that the cheese industry in Canada has “reached its high water mark.” But he advises a further ex- pansion of the butter industry. In the course of his speech to the farmers of Nicolet, he boasted about what he had done to provide them with cold storege on board railways and steamers. It i« need- lees to aay that he did ‘not refer to his neglect to provide cold storage to meet the special conditions existing iu this island Province, though he did intimate that without cold storage it is impossible for Canadian farmers to com- pete successfully in the butter markets of Great Britain, The need of direct steam” ship accommodation, and of vold storage in connection therewith, is well known to the Minister of Agriculture. Yet, while he admits that these are essential to the dairy industry, and while he has supplied them to the people of Quebec and Ontario, he hae not yet furnished either the one or the other tothe farmers of Prince Edward Island. Now that Sir Louis Davies is settled down at Ottawa, perhaps he will press the needs and claims of the farmers of this Province upon the attention of the Minister of Agriculture with a view tothe supplying of direct stearcship accommo- dation and cold storage for next year. At present all the honorein respect to the development of the dairy industry in this Province lie with the Conservatives.

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE.

Ir is to be noted that the sudependent Guardian bas not a word of disapproba- tion or denunciation for the Dominion Government anent its auction sale of liquors in this city. Though the town was “billed” and the sale duly advertised, The Guardian was unaware of the transac- tion in question until the editor read The Examiver’s protest against it. The Guardian is at all events to be congratulat- ed on its careful study of Tue Examiner. In this regard it shows a good example-~ even through its blindoess to current events (before they are recorded in Tae Examiner) isto be deprecated. But, why does the Guardian vent its wrath concerr- ing this transaction upon Tue Examixer to which it is indebted for its information, and leave the original sinner in the case— the Dominion Government--untouched ? That is the question which iudependent temperance men are asking. Tue Ex - aminer’s Offence, as charged by The Guardian, consists in doing that which is its business and its duty, viz, advertize-

ing. To state the charge is to show that it is ridiculous.

DOUBTFUL REPORT.

A

Ir it be crue that His Holiness the Pope has instructed Biehop Gravel not to take any partin the tye-election in Nicolet, itis to be inferred that other Roman Catholic Bishops in Canada are likewise to abstain at other elections, together with the priests within their respective juris- dictions ; and if this be so, how can Hie Holivess hope that the claims of the Chureb in respect to Education and in respect particularly to the schools of Manitoba, will be sustained? Suppose that uescrupulous politicians were to upset the separate school system of Ontario as the separate schools of Mani- toba were upset, can it be supposed that Catholic righte would be restored if Catholic Bishops and Priests are debarred from (aking part in elections? Apart from this consideration, the interference with the Civil Liberty of Canadian citizens sappsrent. Upon the hole, we are inclined to diseredit the telegraphic report published eleewhere.

—In the evolution of the trotting horse Mr. “. Jd. Meston, of Pittsfield, Mass., bas traced the preduminant mntinence of one hor-e—Hambletonian, 10 (1849-76). This influence has extended to 92 per cent of al! 2.10 trotters and 84 per cent all 2.10 pacers, While the pacing speed without Ham biletonian blood has fallen two secouds behind the best record, and the trotting speed four seconds.

It is probable in the opinion of the

London Economist, that the Bank of England wil] now endeavor to maintain rates at the present level; at all events,

until the end of the year, “and it will possibly succeed, although the tas« is like- ly to prove a somewhat difficult one, for at

the beginning of pext month the gold taken by the Scotch banks will be com-

ing back, while, as the year goes on, the probability of gold being taken for ship- ment to the United States diminishes. The tendency, then, is for the mosey whicn was withdrawn for the purpose of moving the crops to flow back to the reserve centres, and to Lelp to depress rates there.”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES

Halifax Herald: One reason why the Grits, in violation of their promises, have more cabinet ministers than any previous government, may be that otherwise they would not be well able to keep some of them all the time in London, or Paris, or Rome, or Wasbington, or in transit to or from these places.

Toronto Telegram: Tell it not in Gath! Mention it not in the street opposite the Globe building! Mr. Lount carried Centre Toronto for the Liberals in a gener- al election atatime when the conrerva- tives were not in power. A year and a half afterwards a powerful liberal govern- ment, at the very height of its power, could not mend that majority im a_bye- election. Verily, the news from the second largest city in Canada will not be particu- larly inspiriting to the leader of the gov- ernment.

An unlooked for incident occured at a cburch in the Wilmsloe district, Eng., the otherday. A couple had arranged to be married, and the party duly arrived st the church, but the clergyman, perceiving that the bridegroom was under the influeuce of drink, refused to perform the ceremony. The couple and their friends were natural- ly much disappointed,and they at once ieft the church and drove away.

DAIRYING IN CANADA, Opinion of the Minister of Ag- riculture,

HE THINKS CHEESE MAKING HAS REACHED HIGH WATER MARK.

Attention Should Now be Paid to Butter |

Making,

Hon. Sydney Fisher, Mivlster of

Agri

culture, delivered an addres at the farmers

onvention held at Nicolet, a few days ago. le said that some years ago he predic ted rreat expansion in the dairv industry for

e Province of Quebec. This prediction

as been verified, for during the past four vears the exportation of batter to England bad doubled no les+ than four times In L896, for instance, 60 per cent. of the enti e quantity of cheese sold to Eogland beer shipped by Canada. this year the quantity would probably bave risen to 70 percent. The situation was indeed becoming serious. Canadian cheese expertation, in Mr. Fisher’s opinion, had reached its highest mark. Aitention should now be more directed towards putter.

Had all the milk been made into chees: during the past vear that the manufactur- ers had used for butter, the price of cheese would have fallen from 8 or 84 cents to 5 ceuts. In his opinion butter might be made with advantage whilst the cattle were con- fined to their stalls.

In the Dominion of Canada heat was the greatest evemv of the butter and cheese mauufacturer. He therefore eould not too strongly urge his hearers to go in for a system of cold storage and refrigeration. Last year Mr. Fisher had instituted a system of cold storageon the boats, but the dairymen of Quebec had not availed themee'ves sutliciently of the boon. Thedaizymen of other provinces had, bowever, taken advantage of it and had in consequence received a considerable portion of the monev voted*by Parlia- ment. In the North-West Territories this year, in Prince Albert and Edmon- ton, 2000 miles away, fruit and dairy pro- ducts had been sent toEngland by the cold storage system, arriving there as fresh as on the day it was packed. If the reop'e in Western Ontarie and in the North- West Territories could do this, why could not the dairymen of this province do like- wise? They were just as pushing and go ahead as their western competitors (loud applause) and had everythivg in their faver. Mr. Fisher went on to say thatthe subsidy voted by Government would be renewed this vear, and he only hoped that this time the dairymen of Quebec would be more to the front than they had been during the past.

As tothe best aod most satisfactory temperature at which to keep a dairy, Professor Robertson had made exhaustive experiments iu parts of Western Ontario, and had come to the conclusion that from 64 to 68 degrees was undoubtedly the best. When once the thermometer registered more than 70 degrees, the product at once

began = to deteriorate and jose in value at least one cent in every pound. Canadian cows are

after ail the best cows in the world (ap- plause), and the people of Quebec have good ports and have every advantage. He called upon his hearers to be pushing, to take care of the health of their animale, to ward off tuberculosis and to keep their dairies clean. That was the chief thing. Canada now bad a new reputation in the English market, and every man engaged in the manufacture of butter and cheese in the Province of Quebec should profit by that reputation.

PLACERS,

Gold-mining and gold hunting in North America have always been of a twofold character. First have come the placer miners, those in search of the “poor men’s mive,”—a mine that takes only a few dollars of capital to work. With his pen and shovel, hie pickaxe and scoop, the placer miner wanders over the face of the earth, prospecting for some rich mine that holds its precious products on the surface. Where some mountain stream has coursed down the granite sides of the hills, or washea deep guilies in the valleys, the placer miner luoks for signs of geld. Tue erosion of the rocks by the running water is Nature’s method of unlocking the rich mineral trom the bowels of the earth, and gradually quantities of the yellow metal are piled up at the bottom of some pool or gulch. Here the wander - ing placer miner applies his knowledge, and tests the contents of the sand a-d earth. The miners travel in paire, and every stream and brook, every ditch and pool of water, must be examined as they jOurney across the trailless mountain sides. The work is difficult, and the returns generally scanty and inadequate; but the dream of finding a rich placer mine tures the m2n 00 and ever cnward, until they finalty leave their bones to bleach on some lonely trail or a: the bottom of tome imac- cessible ravine.—Grorce E. Watsn, io December Lippincott’.
