Agriculture of the Maritime Pro- vinces. BY SENATOR FERGUSON,

Notwithstanding the great variety and undoubted richness of the mineral | resources of Nova Scotia, the forest wealth of both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and the great value of the coast fisheries of all three of the Mari- time Provinces, yet agriculture must be be regarded as the leading industry of the “Provinces by the Sea.”

It is true very considerable areas in both Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are not arable, yet there is very little of either Province that is not fairly well adapted for stock-raising. In all the counties bordering onthe Bay of Fundy there are immense tracts of marsh lands which have been reclaim- ed from the sea by means of dykes. These lands are remarkably fertile, yielding enormous crops of hay and af- tording abundant and nutritious pastur- age. Along the beds of the rivers in| nearly all the other counties of both | Provinces there are extensive tracts of | what are called interval lands, valuable , for both hay and grazing. A consider ation which adds very materially to the | value of dyke and interval lands is that | their fertility seems to be fairly well | maintained, by natural means, without the application of manure. The up- lands of both Provinces are very un~| even in quality and conformation. The ordinary cereals, wheat, oats, and barley, grow well where reasonable at- tention is given to their cultivation, | while roots, especially potatoes, are | grown with great ease and of excellent | quality.

The development af agriculture in the Maritime Provinces as a whole must in the future proceed on the lines

of stock raising, both for meat and | dairy purposes. The dairy industry, !

although faizly successful, has not as— | sumed the dimensions which the na-| tural advantages of the country un- doubtedly warrant, and it seems an anomaly that surrounded by a conniry abcunding in the best and cheapest cattle food, the markets of St. John and Halifax are to a considerable ex- tent supplied with meat from Ontario and Prince Edward Island. Not one of the least of the advantages enjoyed by the farmers of Nova Scotia and

! New Brunswick is to be found in the 'excellent heme market

which they possess. Where so large a proportion of the population is engaged in mining,

fishing, lumbering and commerce, a | sure and profitable demand for the

products of the farm exists near the farmer’s door. In the Western counties of Nova | Scotia lies the beautiful valley of An-— napolis and Cornwalis. This valley extends for about go miles, from the Basin of Minas to St. Mary’s Bay, and | lies between two elevated ridges called | the North and South Mountains, hav- | ing a width of from 4 to 12 miles. It | is believed that this valley is unequal- | led in America, or perhaps in ‘the world, for the growing of apples. The

average quantity of apples annually ex | a

ported to England from the Counties | of Kings and Annapolis is about 400,- ooo barrels, and owing to the extent

of the new orchards planted within re- cent years the export will increase en- | ormously in the near future. The farmers of the valley are very wisely turning their attention mainly to the proprgation of the long keeping varie-' ties. The indnstry, skill and enter- | prise which they are now applying to

the cultivation of the best export apples | are certain to be abundantly rewarded | in years to come.

Large quantities of good agricultural | lands in New Brunswick are yet unre claimed from the forests, and lumber- | ing is too much in the people’s minds | to admit of the best possible prosecu-— tion of agricultural pursuits.

The smallest of the Provinces by the Sea remains to be spoken of. Prince Edward Island comes much nearer an ideal farming country than its neighbors of the mainland. From one end of the | be seen one ,

sive to good treatment. Atl the pro- ducts belonging to the northern tem- perate zone flourish. Wheat is grown successfully, but the farmers do not aim at raising more breadstuffs than are required for home consumption,

‘In the production of oats, barley, pota-

toes, turnips and Mangolds, the Island is not surpassed by any courtry. There are scarcely any dyke or interval lands, but the uplands, when properly cultivated and fertilized, yield the finest crops of hay and furnish pasture of the first order. Until quite recently little attention was paid to fruit growing, but it is now apparent that apples can be raised almost as well as in the valley of Annapolis, while plums, cherries, and small fruits grow to great perfec- tion.

Within recent years the dairy indus- try has assnmed great importance in Prince Edward Island. In :8g2 Sir

Joha Carling, then Minister of Agri- | culture, undertook to guide the farmers |

of the Island Province intothe adoption ot co-operative dairying. In the able hands of Prof Robertson and Mr. Dillon successful, and it treasury nothing, even the salaries of the officers sent here were paid for by

the local dairy companies. The result | | has been the firm establishment of a| prosperous and remunerative industry, |

which is going ahead with leaps and bounds. Itis estimated that the out- put of the Island factories in butter and cheese will reach a value of ¢600,- 000.00 for last year.

At one time horse-raising was a very important branch of farming in

| Prince Edward Island, but the prices |

prevailing for some time past have checked progress in that direction.

products so well adapt it. Sheep are not kept in large flocks, but a very con- siderable return is received annually from the sale of the surplus from the select flocks kept on most of the farms.

The cheapness with which hay and

blest with excellent crops and reason- ably good prices, he cannot enjoy the highest prosperity unless the labors of other classesin the community are also crowned with success. It is from the prosperity of the manufacturer, miner, fisherman, lumberman, and merchant,’ hat the operations of thefarm receive the greatest impetus. The writer does not claim topossess intimate knowledge of the present position of other industries, but he feels safe in

saying that none of them is in a Jan- | guishing condition. Perhaps the bright~

est star of hope in the agricultural fir-| mament of the Lower Provinces at this |

moment is presented in the great iron and coal development on the Is'and of Cape Breton. When North Sydney becomes, as it promises, the Pittsburg of the North, a great appreciation wilil take place in the value of farming lands in the Maritime Provinces.

| the future.

The agricultural outlook in the

| Maritime Provinces at the present mo- | ment is fairly encouraging.

The corps of 1899 were remarkably good, and

‘the pasture was never better. Although

the prices of field products are low, highly re- munerative prices, while cattle, horses, sheep and swine are in fair demand.

| There is also reason to hope that, not- | withstanding a

derangement in the fall market and serious losses in transit, reasonably fair returns may be got from the season’s shipment of apples to England. On the whoie, the Maritime farmer is facing the winter with a comparatively light heart. His barn and cellar are bursting with food for man and beast, and the proceeds of his autumn sales enable him to meet his bills with at least ordinary promp- titude and to supply the reasonable wants of his family.

But while the farmer may have been
