The House resolved itself into a commit- |

tee of the whole to take into further con- |

sideration the des} atches and public pa- pers; and the report of the managers of the Government stock farm was read. Hon. Mr. Laird observed that a herd book was referred to in the report, but it had not been presented to the House, and | he! id not seen it. li the home bred steck were talued too low, as stated by the com- mictee,they must be very valu The : of the stock, were valued at $12,300. He had recently visited the f and was much pleased, in many respects, with the condition of the stock. With re- spect to the horses imported from Eng- land he thought there could be but one opinion as to the judgment displayed in their selecti D, especially the cart horses. The blood horse appeared to be a fine animal, though perhaps too old to be ju- diciously imported. The whole cost of the three English’ horses, delivered upon the farm, was $3,100, and he believed they were well worth the money. The next in valuation were the three Kentucky horses | and two mares, costing $2,250. Perhaps | he was not a judge of thoroughbred blood | horses, but with respect to what would take the market here, he would not yield his judgment to any man, not even to the gentleman who was sent to purchase the horsesin Kentucky. He hoped that gen- tleman would find a market for their | progeny,for at present there was no market Oy

nto this Province for such horses. There would certainly be no dithculty io breeding as handsome horses, and many would doso if they could only get the |

dollars for them. He observed that three short horned cows, raised on the farm, were valued at $750.00 and it was prob- ably as much as they would bring in the best market in the world. An Ayershire bull, $300.00, was also a fair price. Five Ayershire cows, raised upon the farm,were valued at $120 each. They were five animals, but there was nothing wonder/ul about them. He thought the managers had failed as sheep raisers. Sheep rais- ing had evidently gone back during the last few years. He ‘thought it would be well for the Government to offer a premiun: for a prize essay upon sheep rising. The farm appeared to be in good condition,and | deserved credit for their management of it. Their remuneration, if any, was very small; and it was nig- or irdiy upon the part of the Government to require those gentlemen to devote so much of their time to one of the best in- terests of the province without remunera- tion, and to rear stock in such miserable buildings. The lulu should be a model

as three with the buildings they had. If

they could afford to purchase such costly | stock,they could afford better buildings to

keep them in. In Germany and the

United States there were institutions for | experimenting with different kinds of |

grain and rodts, and reports were kept | upon record for the beneiit of agricultur- ists. There might be something of the same kind here yn asmall scale, and | make the whole institution a model and pattern to the country. We should en- deavour to raise the standard of agricul. | ture, for it was the backbone of the coun- | try. and if it were so raised the business | would be carried on with more satisfaction | and profit to those engaged in it,and bene- | fit to the Provinee at large.

Hon. the President had also visited the farm, and considered that his honor who |

Ty pe

had just spoken had given a very fair ac- | count of the st ck. He (President) be- lieved the managers had valued the vari- ous animals at quite as much as they were worth. The imported stock had cost large sums, but thé country would derive great advantage from them, Improved stock were being more highly appreciated in the country. Unfortunately our best horses and blood mares had been purchased and taken off the island; but he hoped the liberal sums appropriated for the importa- tion of thoroughbred animals would be beneficial to the country. He did not ap- prove of those Kentucky horses, but per- haps their progeny might exceed our an- ticipations. The gentleman who had charge of the stock certainly took great interest in keeping them in good condition but he had reason to complain of the buildings. He had seen much better look- ing sheep in the country, though not larger. The pigs were very fine. It was worth while maintaining the stock farm to have such beautiful pigs distributed through the country. If farmers would turn their attention more to rising stock, instead of exporting so much raw grain, it would be to their advantage.

Hon. Mr. Balderston referred to the poor condition of the farm, and the dil- apidated state of the buildings and fences

- when the Government took possession of the property. By the report, and by personal inspection, he learned that the farm and fenees were very much im- proved. A good horse stable had also been built, but the other buildings were far from being what they should be. He thought the time had come for the man- agers to turn their attention to something else besides raising stock. The farm should be made a model in other respects. They should also experiment with various kinds of seeds, sagricultutral implements aud machines, even if the Government would lose money by doing so. There were various kinds of grasses which might be adapted to this country, but it could not be expected that farmers would ex- periment upon them to any extent. lle observed that the Committee recommend- ed the purchasing of an adjoining farm, but he thought they had sufficient land if they would utilize part of what was under wood, The time was coming he believed, when it would pot be necessary for the Government to keep a Stock Farm. Farmers would establish such farms them- selves. It wasa great expense to the Government, but the couutry derived great iudirect benefit from it’ Ie thought

Good service had been done, but fresh im- | nortations There were some fine Dyrhom cattle upon the farm, but some Ayrshire or Alderney were re- quired for dairy purposes, Some of the | Alderney breed should be imported. He was rather disappointed with the reeent importation of horses, thouch the impor- from EKaogland were creditable. | The Government should have imported a first class blood-horse. The importations irom Kentucky, he believed, were a fail- ure. When the thoroughbred blood horse was sold at auction for less than $300, and fell into the hands of the gentleman | who imported him, it was evident that | the judges considered that there was no money to be made out of him. With the importations from England he did not find fault, for he believed we bad got value for our money, but he would be willing to seea much larger sum expends | ed for a first class animal, Hion. Mr. Dedd was glad to hear that stock was worth so much money. The condition of the animals was very credit» able to the man who had charge of them. He did not agree with the Leader of the Opposition that the stock was valued at too high a price, for in some countries an animal would sell for as much as the whole stock upon the farm was valued at. The unfavorable appearance of the sheep

| was owing in a great measure, he believed

to the miserable building they were kept in. The land was too low for sheep pasture and if they had any disease it was on that account. The Government should erect buildings upon a higher part of the farm. The pigs were very good, and there was great improvement in that description of stock in the country. It would require a good horse to overtake one of the long legged pigs he remembered seeing in the country some years ago, It was said the old boy was in them, aud he believed he was. Every market day the benefit of the

| improved breed of pigs could be seen. Al

though the stock imported by the Gov- ernment might cost 100 per cent. more than it would bring in the market, yet the benefit to the country was incalculable. Doing away with the Stock Farm some years ago was a great loss to the country. As to the horses, thotfgh those imported from England were fine animals, yet he would rather see. one first class animal imported if he should cost as much the three. As tothe Mentucky horses, very little could be said in favor of their appearance, but their progeny might be better than was anticipated. The farm was now in a good state of cultivation,and the Government should grant money to erect suitable buildings in which to keep the valuable stock.

Hon. Mr. McDonald did not agree with suggestion to make the farm a model ferm. [i the Commissioners would at. tempt to make it a model farm, and a good stock farm, they would probably spoil both. He did not think the stock were valued too high. Pure bred animals raised upon the farm were worth as much as tl imported. The piece of land offered to the Government was almost surrounded by the farm, and he thought it would be a pity to lose the opportunity of purchasing it. It would be easy to part of the farm afterwards if it could be spared, and in the meantime land would be increasing in value. As to the horses, he believed the Suffolk

Punch was the best adapted for the gen- |

eral purposes of the country, though the English cart horse might be better for raising horses for sale in the neighboring Provinces and the United States. There was no doubt but the country would de. rive great benefit from the horses im- ported from England, ‘ Hoa. Mr. Balderston said the reason he took exception to purchasing more

| land was, that a large partof what they

had was uncultivated. It was true that

'lund might inerease in value, but the | money would Be expended and it was re-

quired for other purposes. As to the valuation of the stock, the prices paid for fancy animals, by men of large means in He did not see any objection to experimenting with different kind of grain and grass seeds

| notin general use, and have the results

made known to the country. Then, as

| labor had become so high it was necessary

to have improved machinary, and the Government farm was the best place to experiment them.

Hon. Mr. McGill said there was no doubt but it would be gratifying to the country to know that they had such a valuable addition to the stock as the Kentucky horses. The English horses were fine animals, though the blood horse had scarcely sufficient bone. He was sorry to hear that the sheep were deter- iorating. It probably arose from a variey of causes. Some were of opinion that they had a disease called the rot. It was very common in England, and those who had it were not allowed to be driven upon the post roads. It was caused by keeping sheep upon low soil, and _ therefore he thought it would be advisable to purchase the Currie farm or some higher ground. He approved of the suggestion to experi- ment with different kinds of seeds upon the farm. There were many kinds of grain and grasses which he believed could be grown here with success. He agreed with his honor from Wiltshire [Mr. B.| that some Alderney cattle should be im~ ported for dairy purposes,

Hon. Mr. Munn would confine himself to a few remarks, as so much had been said. He had also visited the farm, and was pleased$with the stock, but thought like his honor from Wiltshire, that there was a searcity of dairy. It would be well for the Goverement to import some of the Alderney breed. He was ot opinion that the farm should be a model, as well as a stock farm. No doubt it would be ex- pensive, for it would require a superin- tendent thoroughly aequainted with agri» cultural chemistry, to whom a large salary would have to be paid. There was ur- gent necessity for better farm buildings with modern improvements. The English horses appeared to be fine animals, and as one of them was to travel in each county, he would recommend that the one for King’s County should go to Murray River whieh would accommodate the Southern part of Queen’ unty. As for the Kentucky ho would advise the Government to publish their pedigree, and perhaps their photographs, or otherwise they would not be appreciated, as so much had been said in disparagement of them.

Hon. Mr. Strong did expect that ‘some of their honors would have came to the relief of the Kentucky horses, but it was a common proverb that when a man was going down hill every one would give him a kick, and he supposed that was the way

had better |

| with the Kentucky horses. [t was also said that it was as well to be out of the | world as out of the fashion, and he had

been told that chestnut horses with white i feet were to be fashionable this season If the public could be made to believe | ' that, the victory for the Kentucky horses | would be won. If their honors were more | Americanized they wonld look with more | vor upon the Kentucky horses. They | were very much admired in New Bruns wick and old Canada when coming bere. He had also been told that a gentleman from Nova Scotia offered $750.00 for the chestnut horse. A horse of this same breed, three years old, was sold for $1 5 / 000; and another five years old for a sim ilar sum, while the first cost of the five bought for this Island was only about $1,- | 400. Notwithstanding all that had been | said he trusted that the money paid for the Kentucky horses would prove to be | a profitable investment. In reference to the blood horse. Adel, hs was perhaps | somewhat old, and not snfliciently strong | in the limbs, but he was well worth what | | he had cost. His honor the President, | referred to what he called the beautiful | pigs,but did anyone ever hear of beautiful | pigs! Pigs were associated in our minds | | with the opposite of what was beautitul.

In reference to supplying the foreiga mar- | ket with meat, we should endeavour to

supply our own first, for, though we were | | within twelve hours of St. John market, | yet the butchers there imported cattle | from Toronto and even further west. Un- til we would get better stock, and feed them better,we could not expect to go into such a larg® enterprise as supplying the English market as the people of Ontario were doing, very profitably. This discus- sion would not be without its good results, but it would be limited in its good effects from the fact that agriculturists did not meet to discuss those important matters as they should do. Farmers should meet to compare notes and encourage each other and it would be for the mutual benefit of all. They were living too much to them- selves. He regretted to say that a move- ment was on foot to have only triennial exhibitions—one in each county in three years—and he thought it was a retrograde movement. He was glad, however, that the stock farm was coming up, in some respects, to the expectations of their honors.

Hon. Mr. Bolger said the stock upon the farm were very creditable to the Province, It appeared that their honors were pretty well satisfied with all the stock except the Kentucky horses, but they would have to Wait until they would understand the bene- fitofthem. The old country horses were very tine animais, and the cattle were very superior. The pigs might be said to be * beau- tiful’’ compared with those we had in for- mer years. He was glad that the Govern- ment had acted so wisely in supplying the country with horses and cattle. In reply to his honor from Wood Jslands (Mr. Munn) he would merely say that it would not be fair to require the King’s County horse to travel to suit Queen's County. With regard to the Currie farm,he would advise the Government to purchase it for the benetit of the conntry at a lutnre time, if it was not required now.

Progress was reported, and the House ad- journed until four o'clock, p. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION,

He understood that his honor the Leader of the Government was opposed to the bill, but now he was in favor ot it. Sle was surprised that that gentlemen would speak one way and vote another.

Hon. Mr. Strong replied that when the dis- cussion would be reported it would be seen that he had acted consistently. He had not said that he would vote against the bill, and had goneas far as to say that the City Coun- cil should not be conirolled with regard to levying taxes. The exception he took to the bill was that he did not understand the prin- ciple upon which they were going to tax goods and furniture,but he never said the bill could not be so amended as to remove his objection, The last attempt to reconeile mat- ters had been successful, and therefore he felt that he could consistently vote for the bill.

The bill was then read the third time and i passed,

Lord Albamarle, in his recently publish. ed memoirs telis a story of Napoleon, which places that great soldier ina pleasant light and shows him to have possessed a cons sideration for others with which he has not usually been credited. On the morning of Waterloo Napoleon was quite ill, and seem~ like one dazed by some sudden shock. About noon he left his sleeping apartment and the duty of aiding him into the saddle devolved upon the late General Guidin, then a page of honor, who gave the Emper. or such a hoist under the elbow a3 almost to throw him off his balance. For this he was heartily anathematized by the Emperor, who immediately set off for the scene of theefight, followed by his full staff. ‘The disconsolate page, humiliated by the pub- lic rebuke, rode slowly after the Imperial. parity. Suddenly he noticed the staff wheel about and open right and left while the Emperor rode straight towards him. Plac» ing his hand kindly on the page’s shoulder the Emperor smilingly said, ‘My boy, when you help a man of my build to mount you should do so very gently.’ The old Gen- eral, when relating the story more than filty years jater, could not refrain from tears,and said that the impiled apology, and the kind. liness which led the great soldier on the eve of a terrible battle to regret a few hasty words uttered to,an obscure page, pro- foundly affected him at the time.
