Liver Trouble
When the yellow flag of quarantine is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease and danger. So when the yellow flag fiies in the face—when the cheek is sallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed saffron—there is danger. Jt is liver trouble. The liver is one of the most im- portant organs of the body. On the proper discharge of its functions depend human health and happiness. When the liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be- gin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never neglect the liver if you value health.* If you are suffering from liver trouble, begin at once the use of AYer’s Pr.is and you will find prompt relief and permanent cure.

THE SEWAGE FARM,
Sin,—The great volume of information
—reiiable and otherwise—furnished by our press upon since the publication of my first letter, speaks well for the activity of our editors. The opinions and information contributed to it by the people is so sligat, however, as indicate that the editurial enthusiasm is anything but contagious. just possible that sewerage, for the present at least, is a dead letter.

Smelte, which constitute a very large proportion of our exports, are especially claimed to be a fish which will only inbabit the cleanest waters. If thie be so, the presence of putrid matter at our harbor’s mouth would turn thoee eilyered hoste to other shores, The absence of this fiany tribe from the creeks near the city, where once cart'oads could te caught, may stand iv evidence and indicate their sensitive and fastidious mature. Of course the effect of sewerage can Only be a matter of speculation to many. We should know positively before imperiliing 60 valuable ap aseet.
In one of the Patriot’s arguments ip favor ofasewage farm. they took the Eaglish market price, $16 per ton, us the estimated value of prepared manure. The value of this is regulated by the law of sapply and demand. Ia England, where te population ie immensely large in pro- portion tojtheir agricultural operations, the available supply of manure must be very considerable. Besides this their proximity to the potash mines of Ger- many and other mireral centres places the great iields of chemical tervilizers at their door in consequence of which the market there tor prepared manures is one of the lowest in the world. Manures are ius ported from England and sold in Charlotte- town for more than twice the English price. Prepared manure of this kiod is the most powerful and most valuable and a similar article is quoted by our Canadian dealers as high as $40 per ton. From another source it has been urged that foreiga companies had undertaken and abandoned the sewege farm because they found it unremunerative. They abandoned it because it was not productive of paying dividends. This argument can not prevail here. Wedo not want the sewage farm for the cash profits that it will secure for us. It it will prove only self sustaining our great advantage ie gained in a@ river and harbor pure and clear as cryetal, free from foul odors and sickening sights and in saving to our agricultural com- munity and adding to the wealth of the province the thousand of dollars worth which it is proposed to scatter to the tides.
Tam pleased to note in regard to my first letter thatin all the discussion follow- ing, my contentions remain practically unaseailed. ‘The Guardian alone adds $100,000 to my figures and then attempt a laugh wt the figures of their own creation. This fabrication, while fully in accord with precedent, addsno strength to the issue. ‘Our people have a knowledge of their mother tongue and are not se easily gulled, 5
One who does rot pay adojlarin taxes, whose age exampts bim from even the $2.10 poll tax, bas declared that “we must have sewerage at whatever cas.” It will pow be in order for some ot your large property holders and public-spirated sitizens—men who will have to pay the bille—to speak out. To the opinions of these greater deference would be given.
They have the greater interest at stake and can speak with practical effect.
Let
us hear from such. Knowing your kindly stricture for too
lengthy a letter, 1 will reserve further observation for another oceasion.

Letter From Mr, Waiter Simpson,
Sin,—I waa much pleased with your timely editorial advising the holding of # convention of farmers io Charlouetown during the winter. Ja my opinion there is much that such a convention could profit ably consider and iake action on
At such @ meting, be devised whereby vur dairy companies could cooperate with each other in the matter Of procuring supplies and also in disposing of their butter and cheese. For instance if a cheese board was established at some central place where e#aesmen of factories could aeet at stated times and talk over the prospects of the cheese warket, and bave cables direct from Great Britain, I think it would be a great help to them aud often enable them to make
| better sales.
The great trouble with Birectors of th® dairy companies is 1gnorance of the market athe time they receieve an offer for» mont)’s make of chses ; and the consequn: & ig they sell too soon or perhaps hold tw long and may miss it either way. If they bad a2 late reports from the markets as @ buyers they would be in @ position to act intelligently and promptly in the matter. Since the dairv business has now be- come euch an ioipertant industry, snd since we derive eo much «four revenue as far.ners trom it. 1 certainly think that we coald by co-opera'ins afford to keep our saleemen in close ‘ouch with the principal dairy markets in the old country.
A bus:ness that amounts to $300,000 ani is ever growing, is worth looking afver right and conducting on business princi- ] +s,
Othor industries that you have mention- ed might also receive great benefit from united effort on the part of all engeged therein. : The matterof chea er transportation for etock on the railways, -o ably advoce ated by Mr. Bovyer, might also come up for discussion.
Ithiuk arate of 8c. per hundred on live hogs for a tweaty five mile haul on the P. KE. I, Railway is too much for farmers to pay,and is not for the best interest of the railway within: I think our lucal Goveramhnt might follow the example of other Provincial Governments and begin todo a little in the way of helping the dairy companies and also the live stock istreets of the country, L hope that your editorial w Il etait a discussion of these matters that will insist in something tangille.
