(Summary Report—Continued.)

Professor Shuttleworth siid that he ‘would prefer to answer the question re- specting starch factories at the evening ‘meeting. As to the question concerning ‘clay soils in dry seasons, a remark of Mr Simpson furnished, in his opinion, a key to the answer. The clay cracks under the heat of the sun, the cracks break the roots ‘of the plants, and there is consequently lit- |tle or no growth. Below it is cold and wet, | the land holding the water like a sponge, ‘while on top it bakes. Such land needs thorough cultivation and drainage so that the water may run off and the air and ‘warmth be admitted. Under these condi | tions, the capillary action of the ground ‘water will be perfect. Consequently, mre mvisture wil] ina dry season be supplied to growing crops on clay soils well worked up than on sandy soils.

W. MeNeill Simpson remarked thatdrain- ‘age cost $30 an acre, oras much as iand in | this province is worth.

Professor Shuttleworth said that it had | been found in Ontario, some years ago, tha’ two years’ crops would pay for the draining of clay soils; but it was undoubtedly a fact

Organization for the purpore of developing other and improved methods of faiming, woul) be a step in the right direction. ‘ihre is perhaps sovetbing iu this dairy business It would, at all even's, be weil to accept the offer of Professor Robertsou and send young men to Ontario for the pnrpose of obtaining instruction in cheese making. We might ales turn our attention, with advantage, to the bree ting of cattle fcr milking purposes. Before sitting down he would iike to ask Protessor Shuttleworth’s opipicn as to whether it is better to apply manure to the eurtace or to plough it in.

Professor Shuttleworth said that re ther the potash nor the phosphates in the ma- naure would be lost by exposure on the surface; but there is danger of losing the nitrogen if the manure is spread out during the process of fermentation Thos danger does not, however, exist if the manure be green orif it be well rotted. If the ma- wure be put cut in the winter much of the best of it is apt to be washed out into the irains or carried to lower parts of the field or into the brook, if one be near. Bui if put out green or well rotted during the spring or summer it may be applied to the surface with advantage,

James Ramsay, ssid that he had applied green manure in the winterto au acre of land, and that he was not at all well satisfied with the result. The crop on this acre was not as good as that obtained ‘rom the land adjoining, which had, in every other respect, been similariy treated, WiLuiam Brown, of Margate, said that he was in agreement with those who con- tended that the time had come to inaugur- ate a change in our system of farming. There has recently been such a failure m the crop that we are compelied to turn over anew le«f. It seems that we should try as much as possible 'o have te raw produc sof ‘hefarm consumed uponfim. But in respect tu dairying on a large scaie, the question is, will it pay? Osn we get a foider corm which will be certair to ripen in this Prov- ince? Turnips are povr feed,—though they are very well when fed with other things. Altogether, he thought that feeding beef, etc., pays better than dairy ng, though the resuits might be differen: if we had better milch cows. How ia it that only the beeting strain of Shorthorns has been brought to this Province ?

W. McNerit Simpson +ard that many of the prize wilkers of England are Short- horns. But men who have gone there to purchase cattle for this Province have not vbtained them. now be wise tu import some for a beginning. It is a fact, he believed, that Mr Hensley, Mr. Holl, and Mr. Grubbe had, in their day, imported better strains of Shorthorn uuilkers than any which have since been ob- tained,

Professor Shuttleworth said that Jerseys and Guernseys give the richest milk, and were praised especi-

ally in the towns and their neighbor- hood. Holsteins are great milkers, and generally upon the farm the milking strains vf Shorthorns and the Ayrshires are regard- ed as the best tor dairy purposes. It sheuld be remembered that well bred bulis are very impressive, and one bull of the beef- ing strain wiil spoil a whole herd for milk- ing. In reply to a question Professor Shuttleworth said that as geod miiking strains of the Shorthorns can be obtained in the United States as in Canada.

Cotin Waricar, referring to Mr. Brown's astonishment concerning his experiment with the fertilizer, said that the ingredient obtained direct from Eugland and mixed here seemed to havea better effect than the fertilizers which are prepared before they are purchased.

ARTHOR SIMPSON related his experience with fertilizers, and said he was convinced that good fertilizers would pay when applied to turnips, if they could be wbrained at a moderate price. He thuught that one use of a farmers orgs! zation such as was pro- posed would |» ‘> bring pressure to bear upon the G: v ‘ent for the purpose of inducing then to lower the duty epon fertilizers, or at least upon the materials of which fertilizers are made. He believed that if good fertilizers could be obtained for $30 a ton it would pay tarmers well to obtain and judiciously use them.

SAMUEL SIMPSON referred to the estab- lishment ‘of cheese factories. It was

hought that by making butter and feediog

the skimmed iniik to the pigs more munay could be mide. There was « cheese factory within three miles of Summerside, at a place where it ought to pay if it would yay anywhere. But a god many farmers have ceased to make contributions of milk to it and there seems to be a probabllity that it will have to cease operations. This is the fact, though the country round about is low lying, the grass is go d, the crops of hay are usually excellent, and the con- ditions all seem to be favorable for the suc- cessful prosecurion of dairying. Perhaps it was wrong to sell hay off the farm; but it would be admitted that gthere is « great temptation to do sv when hay is selling et $16 a ton.

ARTHUR Simpson said thata great part of tue outter exp srted from this Province ranked in the market as | ttle better than grease. That prvcuced by Denmark was oo better years go. But the Guvernment of that country provided instruction in butter making, greater care was taken, and the result was that Danish butter now ranks and sella 25 to 30 per cent. higher than Canadian butter, Our butter is not fit fur the market. Our people need in- struction in the art of butter msking, We have Grat to learn how to mike batter and then how to pack it. So longas we con- tinue t» pack it in pine firkins we cannot expect that our butter will command «@ high figure in the market.

Jounxn Woopsipe said that an important questinn is ** how are we gving to feed. the cows?’ The seasons seem to have chunged

f late years. We used tohave plenty of snuw in winter, the fields were covered with snow, and good crops of hay were vb- tained the fullowmg summer. But now,
