DAIRY INSPECTION.

———— =

Twat an inspector, a competent, tactful and honest man, would greatly benefit the dairy industry in thie Province is admitted by almost every one connected with it. The desirability of grading vpour dairy products te one or two high standarde, (be marks of which would be recognized by dealers in Great Britain, is evident. standards can be reached factory is put upon its mettle by an efficient inspector. But they cannot be reached with-

out inspection and instruction to ensure equality of product. Solong as every factory may do as it likes, careless makers or care~ less patrona wil! produce butter and cheese which, when put upoo the market, will pull down the character of our product as awhole. Weail know how it was, some years ago, im the cave of our oats, The farmer who was careful to clean his grain obtained no more for it than the farmer who brought his grain to market but half cleaned, prices ruled low all round, and went lewer and lower till, finelly, the sritish market for P. E. Ieland oate was practically lost. As it was with our oats, so it will be with our eheese and butter unless care be taken to maintain their high character in Great Britain. Two or three earelese factories, permitted to place their goods upon the market on equel terms with those of the careful ones, will keep down the character and the price of our dairy products all over the country, and render the efforts of dairymen who desire to improve unavailing.

Fer the high position taken by P. E Island cheese in the British market we owe much tothe care and ectivity of Mr. Dillon, during the time that he was super- intendent. While in eftice, he kept those who who were inciined to be careless up to the mark, and “gave admonition duc” alike to patrons and makers. We have always regretted that Mr. Dillon was so svon dis- missed by the present government. Our farmers should have Leen taught more fully to trust each other and to co.operate, before the change was made. Mr. Diilca, having been dismissed it is now necessary for the reasons here set forth, that a com- petent inspector ,and, instructor shal. bs appointed.

In making the appointment it ie, above allthings, essential that three sbal! be ne personal feeling and no perty politics This was made evideat at the Charlottetows meeting when Premier Farquharson inter- fered to prevent Mr. D.llon trom coatinu- ing hisspeech. Ifthe chairman had con- sidered it necessary to call Mr. Dillon te ,0 time, there would have been no trouble. But the moment a party leader began to dictate te a meeting of dairymen, there was confusien and business was im possible: If the reporters are to be believed, Mr.

Dillon was epeaking to the point. We quote the Patriot, whose reporter was secretary of the meeting:

“Mr T. J. DJlion referred to 'the growtb of dairying io this Previnuce; greater he said than io any other place during the same length of time. This

was owing tothe fact thet the people bad started right in the indus ry. The dairy- men bere are hetter organized and know the value of manure better than any peo- ple he ever met. Not only a cheese ins epector but a cheese instructer is needed here. He paid a bigh compliment to the intelligence aud honor of our cheese and butter makers. An instructor ie needed in whom the makers have confidence, a man

if each :

whom they do not consider inferior to) themselves, In this way the work done

in our factory would be compared with that

of asother, and a friendly rivalry main-

tained. There was one man who has been

on the road two seasons who, he believed, wasavailable. He only knew of four men

in Ontario equalto that man. Mr. Dillon

spoke iv bigh terms of the work being done by Prefs. Robertson and Macoun. He hoped the factory managers would io~ siet on having the appointment of an in- spector left to themeelves. Rie be- lievel Mr, Spillett would ge on the road, find bis team and pay his expenses, for $1,200 a year, He was of the opinion that the factory men would pay a fair share ef thie eum and that the Goverament would

render assistance. Thie outlay was smal!

when it was considered that P. E. Ieland ‘had derived last year from the dairy in- dustry the bangsome sum of $360,000.

wonderful that Mr. D:llon’s | friende, of both parties, were indignant when he was calied down by the Premier while speaking in this way about a matter of which no man in,this Provinces has a better right tospeak. But we refer to the incident, merely to point the mera! that the appointment of an inepector must, of necessity, be free from even the sus- picion of partizsnship.

It is not

The Government has, we! esr, offered toassist in the pay~ This is but right—for the Province at large is bene- fitted by thedairy iudustry, and will be greatiy benefitted by the appointment of a competent and judicious, an honest and independent, official. The greatest care must be taken that the instructor chosen shall be snch a man as the mansgers and patrons of the facteries shell respect and have confidence in. He must be appointed only because he is possessed of proved ability for the work. We incline te the opinion that the official ought to be appointed by and be respoasible to the Central Board which is to be established. However this may be, it is pleasing to | note thatthe whole matter isin the bands of = committee of able and moderate

MR. MARTIN AND THE PATRIOT.

— wee weve

Tne Patriot quotes the Pioneer, w hich says thatthe letters of Mr. Alexander Martin, M. P., “‘relate to nothing but ancient history.” Let ussee. The con- troversy arose out of the Patriot’s state- ment to the «effect that Mr. Martin hadop- posed the building of a bridge across the Hillsboreugh. This statement was false, and Mr. Martin did well toprove that it was faise ; for while it was based upen “ancient history” it was calculated and deliberately concocted for the purpose of injuring Mr. Martin in bis constituency and affecting the result of the next elec- Mr. Martin wrote to the Patriot over his own rignature. just to The Patriot, the Patriot could easily prove the fact. Ifhe indulged in abuse, so much the worse for himself. Abuse of The Patriot through the eolumns of The Patriot certainly belp Mr. Martin. But The Patriot refused to in~ sert hie last Jetier; and The Pioneer won- ders that it inserted the first, That isto say, having brought a charge against Mr. Martie, this Liberal journal would deny Mr. Martin the right to meet the charge where it was made. The Pioneer’s idea of British feir play seems to be strangely twisted. As to The Patriot its refusal to publish Mr. Martin’s last letter elearly that it could not stand Mr. Mar-

proves tin’s fire, and that its position in the con troversy was essentially weak.

THE MAILS.

As Tar Examiner pointed ont when the | arrangement was made, aseveryone ac~ quainted with the road knows, the carriage of our mails by means of sleighs between Aulac and Tormentine must of necessity fail in stormy winter weather aod during The truth of our com-

the spring mosthe. ments is now apparent ; and the Govern- ment organs which uttered not a work of

protest, when a word from them might have influenced the postal autborities, are feeling uncomfortable. The Guardian of this morsiog says :—

‘At tbisdistance wehave not sufficient information upon which to baee an opinion as to that point. The team eervice is getting severe criticism these days, and it remains to be seen what defence can be made fer it.”

And again :—

“Probably the mails may have to come and go by the Capes route throughout the preseat month and during that time ne effort should be spared to make the ser- vice as regular aod prompt as possible.”

Another aspect of the matter is present~ ed by the Tormentine correspondent of the Sackv.lie Post, who writes :

“During the last storm the mail teams found considerable trouble in reaching here with the mails. Ono their arrival Mr. Clarkin (postal cler&) found that a sealed box and bag had been lost or delayed. Mr. Clarkin immediately telephoned the astute contrectors. After the contractors made a thorough search they found the box and bag in the horseetall. They immediately despatched a light sleigh cff with the mail but failedto reach bere in time for the hoats. This is a queer place to-have Her Majesty’s mail lying.

Such is our postal under a “business ia business” Government. How the outward mails go is shewn in our tele-
