SUCCESSFUL FARMING,

James Dewar, Ese., New Perth, began the proceedings by re ading & paper On ** Successful Farming.” He enforced the lessons of locking well to the condition ot the svil; making a careful rotation of crops ; taking care of manure, not permitting it to remain unhoused under rain and snow ; thoroughly pulverizing the soil, particular- ly for the production of wheat ; breeding from the best ; being systematic, econom- eal and persevering ; obtaining a good wife

without.which success as afurmer is, in

his opinion, well-nigh impossi! uniting

and organizing for the sake of mutual im- provement and defence against ** rings,’ etc.

Me. Larep said that the had heard the

paper with very great pleasure, and agreed with much that i With respect to thorough tillage for wheat, he opinion that our sil being light and easily worked, pulverize with a view to the suppression of weeds. Manure well, pay proper attention to the rotation of crops, aud use discriaiuation ia respect to the condition of the various

fields, and a guod crop will almost certainly be produced from our soil. While he ap- proved of the paper in several of its parts, there seemed to jrim to be a kind of mel-

sncholy whine ranning through it which did not like. He had ne sympathy at all with those whe whine about the farmers of thiscountry, Farmers here are, for the most part, rewarded according tu their sieseris. Their failures are chiefly dus to themselves—and their great error is ignorance about that which they are doing as farmers. Most farmers take pains te be ‘ell informed in respect te politics. But how many know what it costs them to pro- dace a bushel of oats or potatues, or a tive- year-old steer? The ignorance of farmers and kindred points is dense. Farmers should know what it costs to pro luce things; and if the things produced will not *‘pay,” their production should be st -pped or curtailed. What the farmers want to do is to apply their intelligence te their business.

Wa. McNeite Simpson said that he was very much pleased with the tenor of the paper. He agreed with the writer, that farming is an honorable occupation, and as « farmer, he thought himself just as good as any man—when at least, he had his good clothes on. Aristocratic globules had not yet been discovered in the blood; and he was decidedly of the vpinion that farmers should not think less of themselves than they think of lawyers, doctors, or mon ol other professions. He was, also, very much pleased with what Mr. Dewar said about the ladies. Many of our successful farmers would sing very small, indeed, if it were not for the energy and industry, the eeonomy and care of their wives. He ¢hought that farmers, as a class, should liye socially, intelligently, ASappily and »ruspervusly. They should not be con-

‘iuaaly toiling and denying themselves for the sake of gaining money for their pos- terity to spend. Money canavt buy happi- in his opmion, mixed farming is best ~and a farmer's work should divested by prudence and intelligence. A farmer is, 43 a rule, much more indepen- dent and may be far happier than the man who works in a factory.

f. H. MceDonavp (St. Eleanor’s) coimpli- mented Mr. Dewar on his paper and cor- reborated what he said with respect tou the necesiity of a thorough pulverization of the sotl for wheat, by reference to his own ex- perience

James Sravert did not see that much good was tu be got by scientific farming. A man’s own wits, informed and sharpened by his own experience, was, he thought, a much mor: reliable guide for the farmer. fie read « good many agricultural papers, and sometimes obtained good hints from them--aud sometimes net. He thought the stady of agriculture should commence im the schools. For the light soils of this Province, ine thought fertilization was more wecessary than puiverization ; but the two should unquestionably go together. As to the alleged ignorance of farmers, he was not in absolute agreement with Mr. Laird. But perseverance and economy are, in bis opinion, two things which are greatly weeded. We are rather too much of a plea- sure-going people in this Province. But the Province, as a whole, is nevertheless prospering as fast as it can—under the Government that we have. (A laugh.)

Ducato Wricat, (Searletown) expressed his approva! of the paper, and agreed with the writer that the soil needs to be thoroughly-well worked up if good wheat is to be grown. As to weeds, they will grow # great dea’ more in some seasons than in others —but they areto be guarded against ail the time. He would like to hear some discussion onthe subject of crop rotation; vhat causes oue crop to produce better than another when sown in a certain order -why, for instance, wheat erows heavier atter potatoes than after oats.

goes to make up scientific farming. The fruit of expenience is science, .n the right sense,

He moved that a vote of thanks be ac corded Mr. Dewar.

Mr. Dewar said that his farm was divid

then hay for two years, then pasturage and then vats. His experience with artificial fertilizers had not been satisfactory, and he thought it ridiculous to buy tertilizers while the barnyard, and hen manure, the soap suds, ete., were allowed to run to waste for the want of covering and care. In answer to Mr. Wright, he said that the reason why wheat grows best after oats 1s that potatoes draw more from the ai, while wheat draws more from the soil—twelve per cent. being drawn from the soil by wheat, and only two percent. by potatoes. Science in farming must be confirmed by experience. His experience had proved that wheat could most successfully grown when the field was pulverized in a solid bed—mere fertility without pulveriz- ation will not produce good results in wheat.

An unanimous vote of thanks was then accorded Mr. Dewar for his paper.

EXHIBITIONS.

R. H. MeDonatp (St. Eleanor’s) then brought up the question of exhibitions. it was, he said, well understood that an Asso- eiation bad been fermed in Charlottetown to purchase a trotting park, in which it was proposed to erect exhibition buildings und have a central exhibition, and.it was believed that the object wasto secure a Government grant to the prejudice of the exhibitions in Prince, and King’s Counties. A strong expression of opinion had been btained from the Dairymen’s Association of King’s County, which had evidently put

for much improvement. The beneficial

results of the exhibitioas have, lhere- toiere, HCL rvoed mostly to thelh re- siding within « few miles of Charlottetown,

Wa. McNerit Stupson said that he had been of opinion for sume years pist that exhibitions should be managed ertirely by private companies. If the Government gave prizes for the best conducted farm, or the best tive acres of oats vr potatoes or wheat, he would see sume sense init, But he could not see how it promoted agricul-| ture by paying prizes, year after year, to the woman who made the best pair of socks. Nor did he believe that the Government should contribute from the public ex- chequer, money to maintain ** agricultural horse trots,” aud encourage fakirs.

James Stavert said that benefits were obtained from the exhibitions which were not always seen at first sight. He thought that the improvements everywhere visible are due, indirectly but largely, to our annual County Exhibitions. If nothing more, they were the occasion of a general outing for farmers who wanted a_ holiday after their hard work during summer and harvest. He always took great pleasure in the exhibition at Summerside, and believed that its annual recurrence did much to stimulate the farmers in stock raising and in the production of first-class articles of all kinds. He would ba sorry to see the County Exhibitions go down ; and he did not believe that the Government would withdraw the paltry grant of $600 which is necessary to keep them up.

ALEXANDER Larxp submitted the follow- ing resolution :—

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this Con- vention that itis not the duty of the Previn- cial Legislature to subsidize Provincial or Ceunty Exhibitions.”

Wa. McNett Simpson seconded the resolution.

Mvurvocu Ross said he would like to know where the subsidy was to come from

jf not from the Local Legislature.

R. H. McDowatp (St. Eleanor’s) thought

he resolution so short that there was

nothing in it. He would like to see a reso- lution passed in which there appeared some CoInmon sense.

Avex. Larrp explained that grants to ex- hibitions are not authorized by Jaw, and the Government may withdraw them any year. lt is not, therefore, the duty of the Provin- cial Government to give such grants; and in his opinion the exhibition companies should provide the ways and means.

Murpocn Ross was giad to hear the ex- planation, for he thought at first that Mr. Laird inteu ied that we should apply to the Federal Government for the required sub- sidy.

Srewarr Burns did not find any fault with the people of Charlottetown for mak- ing an effert to have their exhibition more interesting ; and he gave the company credit for their enterprise. But he thoaght that Prince County should not hastily [give up the right to a grant for the purpose of a county exhibition. True, the funds of the local government are short, but there are properties at Charlottetown and Prince- town that are, at present, yielding nothing. These properties might be sold, and the proceeds applied to the promotion of agri- culture by means of exhibitions.

Marcus Deacon said that Prince County vould not like to lose its annual exhibition. if the company in town isso poor that it;

Ducato Wrieur thought that the an- nual exhibition had been a great educator He would be sorry to see the Prince County Exhibition abolished, , and, therefore, he would move the follow- ing resolution :

ENTERTAINMENT IN THE EVENING.

The Hall was overcrowded in the even- ing, and the entertainment began at seven o'clock sharp. Excellent music (vocal and instrumental!) was furnished by a choir cou- ‘sisting of Miss Lydia Auld, Miss Lefurgey, Miss Lewis, Miss Shaw, and Messrs. Win. Auld, Joseph Lewis, BR. 3B. Auld, Prank Lawson (teacher)and Herbert Birch. The following programme was rendered ;

The instrumental music was lively and inspiriting, the songs and glees well sung, the readings and recitations applicable to the oceasion and eliciting bursts of laughter, and the speeches short, pointed, and, for the most part, brimful of widom and of wit. There was a good deal of truth as well as poetry in the recitation about ‘* The Mort- vaged Farm,” and the reading about ** The Lightning Rol Agent;” and several of the speeches (though given off-hand) were worthy of a verbatim report. Messrs. Dugald Wright and Thomas Leturgey spoke suiongly oa the importance of having the elements the science of agriculture taught im the public schools of this Pro- vinee, and the Hon. A. Laird called upon farmers and their wives and sons and daughters to hover their calling by word and act.

Altogether, the Convention was very pleasant and profitable. The representa- tive of King’s County was heard to say that the whole affair was so well carried out that it made him * feel ten years younger.”

On motion of W. McNeill Simpson, seconded vy Stephen Blaek, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the people of Free- town forthe use of their hall, and the handsome manner in which the delegates had been treated by them. Votes of thanks were also tendered the choir for the music provided, and to the members of the press in attendance,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

-- > -

The Judiciary.

Sir,—1 do not think you are performing aduty to the public by endeavoring to create a feeling against our Supreme Court. The two senior judges are upright and honorable men, and justice does not suffer at their hands. Older men are to be more trusted than younger men ; their judgments ave more matured, and they are less likely to be swayed by bias. Age has whitened my hair and left some wrinkles in my fore- head, but I feel satisfied that my judge- ment is sounder and better than it was ten years ayo.

Yours truly, AN ENGLISHMAN,

7“.

Sir,—With the general tone of your re- marks in THe Examiner of last night, on the judiciary, | fully agree, and | think that nine out of every ten people competent to express an opinion will do the same. | do not entirely agree with you about the reveraals of their judgments by the Supreme Court at Ottawa. Whoever may be on the Bench here, I fancy we may often in the future, as in the past, see their judgments reversed. Besides, it does not always fol- low that the judges whose judgments are reversed are wrong. I do not suppose that your remarks will have any effect upon their Lordships. It is very hard to con- vince a man who is old that the infirmities of age interfere with the discharge of his duties. This is specially so with deafness. A man hard of hearing, because he has not heard what was said, imagines that it never was said. The result is painful, and inter- feres with the due administration of justice, as I am quite sure was apparent to ail those who were in court and heard the late trial by ejectment.

If our judges are ill-advised, they will exhibit irritability and petulance at the re- marks of the press. That, however, can- not be helped. No one reading your ar- ticle can avcuse you of having said any- thing unfair or unjust. There is no dis- guising the fact—the public have not the same confidenceintheSupreme Court now that they had a few years ago, and you have voiced a strong public feeling in protesting against the presené state of affairs,

Yours truly, TRroN,

Mr. Riggs in Ward 4.
