Industry.

Information and Advice for Our Farmers

AT

MR, McRAE’'S PAPER,

The possibilities of Prince Edward Isiand for the production of fruit are great. And as proof for this, I have but to point to the excellent results ob- tained by persons who have given a little time and means to this important branch of agriculture. Our soil, and climate appear to be adapted to the production of the hardiest kiods of fruil Our winters are less severe (although ouger) than in many sections of Cun- ida where fruitis grownin abundance. We are further north than other fruit growing districts of this Dominion, thus iusuring a better quality of product, 1 being a well known fact that the north- eru limit for the production of anything is the best. Our norihera climate no only gives us a better flavored fruit, bu! also a better keeper. Not only do fruu trees grow with more thrift and vigor in this province than in other parts of Canada, but alse live and bear longer. The apple trees which the pioneer French planted upwards of two hur: dred years ago still exist, and bring forth fruit in wany parts of this Island Nor are these the only reasons why) Prince Edward Island should go largely inte fruit culture. ‘There would not be the competition in this line that there is in uther lines. We need not fear the fruit grower of the Arentus Republic for he has neither the country nor the intelligence. Neither will we be driven fromm the markets of the world by the hordes of India or the peasants of Kus- sia. Not even the far famed Californian will have any show, with thousands of miles of freight charges against bim The virgin soil of the prairies, which since being put under cultivation, has made the lot of the farmer in the +‘pro- vinees by the sea,” a hard one, canno affect us in the production of fruit, as experiments have demonstrated. We will also be helped out considerably by the fact that our fruit does not mature until the fruit season in other countries is over. Why then should men with means at their disposal, hesitate, about going into this industry? Itis not our want of land nor lack of the natural conditions necessary for the production of the very best quality of fruit, for we have both of these. What then can it be —the same old stumbling block.

We have a cent so close to our eye we can’t seea dollar beyond it. The value of the fruit product of the U. 8. for 1889 was as follows: Apples, about $55,000,000; peaches, $60,000.Q000 ; pears, $15,000,000; strawberries, $5,- 000,000; grapes, $20,000,000; other fruits $24,000,000, making a total of about $180,000 000. Value of the fruit product of Canada, 1894, $5,000,000 The greater portion of these being per- ishable, their consumption in the green state is confined to afew months, io some cases to a few weeks of the year; and so, without some practical means of preserving them, a very large part must necessarily go to waste. The can- ning process furnishes the ineans, avec now millions of doliars’ worth of choice fruits are preserved with their natural flavor in cans and sent in convenient packages to all parts of the world, where they are enjoyable continuously every month of the year till a new crop comes. With the constantly improving modes of preserving and shipping fruit, the mul- tiplieation of the uses to which they are put, the decrease of freight rates, and the increase of population and exports, teere is no fear that the country wil! not be able to make use of its endrmous and continually increasing yield. Here [would urge the establishment of a large canning factory in this city for various reasons. It would bea home

would produce for some years to come, and by manufactaring the raw materiai at home, its export value would be doubled. In addition to that it would employ a lar,e amount of labor and capi- tal, the benefits of which would be felt by every class in the community, We have in England a grand example of what might be done in this hoe here. A few years ago deputation of English farmers waited on Mr. Glad-tone and arged him to extend helping hand to the depressed agricultural clessesin that country. But the great Liberal leader, being opposed to protection in anv form, advised the fa mere that constituted the deputation to go home, plant fruit trees and make jam. His advice must have been taken, because the trade returns of Great Britain to-day show an export trade in jams reaching seven millions annually. The Canadian farmer is leading the English farmer in the production of wheat, cheese, butter, beef, cattle, apples, etc., and there is no evidence to show thet we can’t lead him in the production of smal! fruits and the manufacture of jam. In giving a list ot the best kinds and varieties for canning purposes together with hints on their cul- tivation. 1 have endeavored to be as brief as possible and give only the kinds that are profitable and easily sold when manu- factured.

The orchard contrary to general op- inion should have a northern exposure and at least shouid be sheltered to the southeast. Cultivation must be followed until the trees are 5or 6inches in diam in order to obtain the best results. Ap- ples for canning purposes are worth from 25 to 50 cents per bushel. The best varieties are:—Red Astrachan, Duchess of Oldenburg, Fall Pippin, Gravenstein, St. Lawrence, Fameuse, Kirg of Tomkins. Northern Spy, R. I. Greening, yellow Bellefluer—any good cooking apples being a goed canner. Plums—TIhese grow best in rich, clayey soil, and may be managed in about the same mapner as apple trees except that the branches should be re- gulated toa great extent by pinching off smal! shoots in summer, instead of too much pruning, in order to prevent gum. They are very hable to be in- fested with insects, and must be care- fully looked after. The best varieties are, Coe’s Golden Drop, Green Gage,

MR, DILLON’S ADDRESS,

Mr. Crarman, Lapies asp GENTLEMEN, —I heartily endorse nearly everything that has been said abour the fruit growing aud canning industry, ani L believe there is a great future in store for this Province, if properly bandied. But you must have manure in order to zrow these things, aad for that reason I will talk to you on dairy- ing, whereby youcan make some money

fruit and other crops at the same time,

There are three main ideas that I want to very briefly bring before your notice, viz., (1) the importance of growing and feeding soiling crop; (2). uniformity of producr, and (3) co-operation.] :

Every farmer siould have a piece of win ter rye. This crop is fit for green feed just when the pastures are at their best. But, occasionally, early pastures fail aod it is well to be prepared. if it is not needed ia the spring you can cut it just wheu the head is forming. It makes excelient bay. F.our from the grain makes good, whole- <ome bread, and the grain when crushed 3 an excellent and profitable pig feed; or, when used fer the purpose, it gives the uicest flavored aod most wholesome whis- key that is made. It produces large quantities of straw which is badly needed tor litter about tre stables.

Following rye, you should have clover. Common red clover, alsyke and Jucerne sbould do well on this light, porous soil,— particularly where massel mud bas been used. You should havea patch on good, rich soil, so that it will be ready for cut- ting about the Lith of July. If those of you who send milk to the factories watch your pass books you will find the supply vf milk falling off about the time you commevce haying. You can keep the flow up by feeding, and should be prepared to doro. Your neighbor, Owen Sullivan, could not have sent 48,000 pounds of milk to the Vernon River factory during the last chee:e-making season had he _ not been prepared to feed his cows. It did not cost him so very much to pro- duce this large quantity of milk. He had only nine acres under pasture and three under soiling crops. Bat he fed his cows well and took care of them. It would have cost him far more to produce the milk if his cows bad been ranging over half his farm to get their feed, and exposed to the weather and horo-flies. The milch cows should be kept by themselves and given special attention. Let the young and dry stock go to the bick fields, woods and marshes to hunt for their living. If this was done tuere would not be so. g«meral a complaint about the flavor of the Island cheese.

A mixture of peas, oats, vetches and. buckwheat inake an excellent suiling crop These should be rown it tliree or four’ patches at intervals of a week or ten days, A astiff-strawed early variety cf oats should be chosen for the mixture. You need not be afraid of having too much of this crop. It can be cut and cured as bay or allowed to ripen and be threshed. ‘ Millett or white turnips may be grown on the land from which the rye has been taken. But the turnips should not be fed to milking cows,

Next in order is the corn crop, by far the most important of all crops used for fodder. Corn grows beet on dry, warw soil. Sod plowed in the fall, then early in the «pring, well cultivated and worked so as to let the sun in and get it warm, is: what you need. A small variety, tuch a: will mature in this climate, is best; and it should be planted in hills at least three feet apart, five kernels to the bill and not

Corn can be grown in this country to perfection, and it should be the main crop onthe farm. But it should not be fed, even for fodder, until the grain is well formed on the ear. Every ove of you should have a silo and grow sufficient corn to have ensilage the year round. hen ‘you willhave more of # variety of food- for your animale; which is very import- ant. i When in Ontario, recently, I visited the ‘stables of Mr. Tilson, of Tilsonburg, and saw his herd of cows, Tie whole sixiy gavean average last year of 7,500 pounds Feats Mr, Tilson was the first person in Cape to grow corn forthe silo. He gtew 60 acres of corn last year, and has ensilage for his cows every day in the yeer, if it is needed, UNIFORMITY.

@amada bas the reputation of making Fand Putting cn the market the most unl- orm quality of cheese of any country in the world. Sach a good name is worth & greateal tous. Our dairy-made butter is nétedstor its unevenness in quality, and wé must all do what we can to overc m: this; or have it manufactured at creamer- ies where it will be uniform. We should learn from this that wedo not want too many creameries, but have the butter mnfidesin as few places as possibl>. I saw fresh’ print vutter that had been bought on the Charlottetown market last Tuesday at 1@ceots per pound; and there are huo- dreds of tubs in every city in Cauada that can be bought for from seven to twelve c-nts per pound. If this batter had been well made and marketed, and not held— far butte: is mot like wine, it does not “‘lifrove with age—we would be getting better prices for our fresh-mmade creamery batter. So Jer us do what we can to hive Shr optput uniform in quality, skilfully made, and intelligently marketed. CO-OPERATION.

Nearly all of the 15,000 farmers of this Province are situated so that they could send their milk to a cheese factory. But not one-fifth of them have ever done so, and I believe it would have been more profitable for both themselves and their veighbors if they bad done so; and it will be better for them if they will do a0 in the coming season. Ifeyery tarmer within reach of a factory will send milk, the cost of hauling aod manufacturing will be reduced. I know that the farmers of this Island bave shown commendable enter- prise and deserve great crecit for what they have already done in this live. Bat I want them to keep going rigbt ahead, There is a great deal of work to be done yet. Your cheese should not be shipped away to Montreal, Boston or Halifas; and I will not be sati-fi d antil I see a steamer taking it direct from here to Great Britair. When I say that I will not be satisfied, I dow’: mean to convey the idea that my influence will have much weight. But we can do by combination what we could not do individualls; aud we gan «6do. it €§=— quie'lv. We must not forget that great results are mo t or- dinarily produc +d by an aggregate of many covtributions and exertions. It is the invisible parts of vapor, each separate and uistinct from the other, that, risiag from the ocean aud the bays and gulfs, lakes aud rivers and overflowing plains, float away as Clouds and d stil upon the carth in dews and fall in showers of rain and spow upon the broad plains and rude mountains, and make the great navigable Streams ai vg which flows the life and commerce of every country. So you can “do much, if each be contented to do his ‘share, andif your united efforts are directed by wise counsels to#® common purpose. It is for God and Omnipotence ‘odo mighty things in a moment. But by degrees to grow to greatness is the course that bas been left forman. If you will work together and earnestly and unfalte:— ingly pursue the dairy work you have already engaged in,and apply the same rules to the work laid out by the previous speakers, there can be no doubt but that you will succeed. (Appiause.)

Its puerile efforts in that direction are all in vain. The Guardian not auly fails to cast the shadow of a shade on the moral character of “ l'emper- ance” but it is eminently successful in making itself supremely ridiculous.
