Farmers’ Sons.

Lx a short article to your valuable paper, days since, I said that agriculture industry on which P, E. Island | depends, and that our farmers must improve their methods, and increase the acre age | under cultivation. They may raise the objection that with so many of their sons going off to the United States and the | Northwest. and the scarcity of laboring men, they can do very little more than to crop what is already under the ploug sh. Well, the remedy for this lies in inducing young men to remain on the farm. This cannot be done by tyirg them down, as it were to the farm, and working them like horses.

The first grand idea is to give them « good sound education, and the farmer who cannot afford to do se in these days of free instruction, had better sell out. After a young man is well trained for the practical of life, he must be in every way entouraged to remain on the farm. Lt him rectcive something more than his mere food and clothing Give him an interest of so many—say four or five—per e nt. in all crops, or let him cultivate a few acres for his own especia! benefit. Give him the first crop off all the new land he clears and breaks. Let him raise horses and cattle, and market them. Let him devote a part of the money thus earned to the purchase of books and periodicals, and put th e rest | in the Savings Bank if he chooses. Should he wish to pass a summer in travel, and see | some of the world, do net hinder him in

a few is the

purpe $e

carrying out his wish. Depend upon it that when he is thus encouraged, he will | net forsake the farm. Made in every way to Jrecognize the dignity and independence | of farming as an occupation, he will un- | hesitating ly engage in it. If there is a} irortgage on the Kom: mane , he will assist,

in. Mine cases out of ten, . lif tit, and will fee! an honest pride in +g work.

We must endeavor tv eradict this feeling of folae pride, this pernicious idea that farming is net a respectable occupation With pleasant farm homes, menanonee by good professional and literary works, with | music and games, with the thousand and one little : luxaries that beautify home, while, not costing very much, with sprightly conversation and free interchange of neigh- borly courtesies with those in our vicinity, it will require powerful inducements to draw the members of the family circle | away. There will be plenty of willing | hanes to lighten the farm labor ; and, as a consequence, farming must improve.

Farmers may object that all this sounds

nice in theory. Well, let them puc it in} practice, and note the change. It is an-|

deniable that the opposite is unhappily the case in too many instances. Where home | is devoid of all decorative art, and neither | sons nor daughtera have aoy further in- terest in the farm than to toil oay after day, year after year, fora bare subsistence, and the prospect of a ‘‘share” when the old tulks ‘“‘drop: ff,” very slight inducemen's serve to coax them away. Thus they are lost to our chief industry, and the Island is so much the poorer.

There are thonsands of acres of ‘‘virgin soil” in this Province, that need sturdy young men to make them wave with ripen- ing grain; there are forests to hew down and convert into bank bills, and those who should be at the work are hastening to the United States, and leaving the Island at a stand still. If money is notso qnickly made here, neither does it cost so much to | live, nor are there so many temptations to spe ndin gi and a comfortable, henest, in de- | pendent livlihvod is assured to all who will tuil for it. Nor will they find themselves | forced to work so hard as in foreign situa- | tions.

The time soon rolls round when farmers reap the reward of their labor. A feeling of justifiable pride fills the heart of the man who can stand in the door of his com- fortable farm house and look over the smiling acres, that avery few years pre- viously were covered by tie ‘forest pri- meval.”’

Let the farmers of the present day deal with their childven in the manner above advocated, and they will soon ;ealize that not only are they benefittyng themselves, but performing an act of pat- riotism, by benefitting those who must in time succeed them.

| Cardigan Bridge, Feb. 3, 1883. AT the meeting on Tuesday night last of the Y. M C. A, Debating Club and | Literary Society. Mr. R. Goff (of the firm | of Dorsey, Ge ff & Co.) occupied the chair.

Messrs. J. J. Chapreli. 8. S Peterson, W. | A. Weeks, A. McNeill, D. McKenzie, J. Newson, —— Perkins («of the firm of Perkins & Stern:), and D A. McKinnon

discussed the question—‘* Should the Gov- ernment contribute to the higher Eduea- tion of the People?” It was argued that, while it was the duty of the state to pro- vide an ordinary English education for its people, it had no right to go beyond that. That the expense of a higher education bore heavily on a part of the community which really received no benefit from it; for in- stance the man who studied for a_ profes- sion required a more liberal education than the business man, the mechanic or the agriculturist, and the general public should not be taxed to supply _ it. The poor man who required the assistance of his children as soon as they finished their education in the District Schools was taxed that the children of his more wealthy neighbor might receive a higher education. {t was shown that in the City Schools the teaching of the English language was neglected tha. pupils might have a smatter- ing of Greek and Latim. At the conclusion of the debate it was unanimously decided that the Government should not contribute to the higher education of the people. Question for discussion next night: Free Trade vs. Protection. To be opened by A. McNeill, Esq. : ~<a

We beg to call the attention of the anthorities to the disgraceful conduct of a crowd of hoys who daily congregate near Messrs. Knight & Son’s store on Euston Street. Those hoodlums miss no oppor- tunity to annoy and insult passers by. They also are in the habit of destroying property belonging to private individuals. We hope this nuisance will he looked into at once.

That as a sum of money “as granted during the last session of Parlament, for the con- struction of a branch line of railway from Cape lraverse to some point en the main Jine; and as our representatives supporting the Govern ment assured us that surveys would be made in the eariy part of Jast summer, and tendcrs called for to complete the work; and as we considir the delay in so doing has been a

Immediately after passing of resolutions the usual votes of thanks were agreed to, and this, one of the best attended and mos: important meetings which has ever taken place in Tryon, came to a close,

PETITIONS IN CIRCULATION,

The petition to the Governor-General in Couneil sets forth the facts in connection with the failure of the Dominion Govern- | ment to earry out the Terms of Union re- garding communication between the main- lend and the Island, and prays :—

That suitable steamers of sufficient power and capacity for mails, passergers and freight, beth f yr summer and fall service be placed on the reute and make daily trips between Sum. merside and Point Du Chene, and betwern Charlottetown and Picteu.

That a more powerful screw steamer of grester cipacity, and more suitable cous’ rne- ed than the ‘Northern Light,” be provided fr late fall, winter and spring service, to ply between Charlottetown and Pictou as ‘long as practicabie. thence between Georgetown or Souris and the mainland as opportunity may offer,

That such improvements be made in con- nection with the cont: mplated branch Raijl- ways, to Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine as will facilitate the crossing, and lessen the danger of navigating the Straits in mid- wouter.
