————
Tar Dairymen’s Associstion met in the ¥Y. M. C. A. Ball last evening, Hon. T. H. Haviland pre siding,
[uv the course of a brief opening address, Mr. Haviland touched on the great import- of the work in which the Association
aiice
is engaged, and said that from _ its wealth and position, Queen's County should be taking a leading part in the
dairy movement instead of lagging behind, both Prince and Kings Counties. Ontario and Quebec are, he pointed out, making giant advances in dairying, while we are doing little more than resting of our oars, The Lveutenant-Governor’s speech at the opening of the Legislature contains not a word about the promotion of the of the dairy This was to him a great disappointment. He thought a model creamery ought to be established at the Stock Farm, and a Professor obtained practical instruction in dairying operations could be given to all who sought it.

Mr. Balderston strongly advised farmers, | especially those in the interior who are at a! distance from sea manure, to have larger flocks of sheep, and all agreed that the judicions feeding of grain to animals pays much better than selling it off the farm at the prevailing prices.
On motion of Hon. D, Ferguson, second: | ed by Hon. D. Laird, Messrs. Bain and | McRae were requested to allow their papers to be published in the newspapers.

The new building will be about sixty feet long by fifty wide, and two stories high, with a basement cellar. The demolished building was one of the oldest in town, and wes for a time the residence of Hon. J.C. Pope. It was a diffienlt job to tear it apart, it being most strongly built after the manner of ‘‘ye olden time.”
