of the present day did not show the thrift |

were aping too much the manners and |

But

personal attention and care. our million acre farm possesses many advan- tages. It is naturally well watered and well drained. The advantage possessed in the matter of drainage may be judged from the fact that the drainage of the Experimen- tal Farm at Nappan cost $30 to $35 an acre. How best to operate this great roillien acre farm in the altered state of affairs, that is the question to be considered. Cer-

tainly we ight to continue a a system of mixed farming. should be the best stock raisers in

the Dominion, for this is a paradise for cattle that are properly cared for; and we ought to compete successfally in many lines of farming. how shall the money be obtained to pay off the mortgages with which some farm- ers are burdened? How shall we induce our young men and women to stay here upon the farm? It is a mistake to sup- pose as some have aeserted that our people are burdened witha mortgage undebtedness which they cannet shake ff.

In this connection His Honor read from an English paper, some statistics of the chattel mortgages and the business done by the loan and investment companies of Ontario in 1894, as follows:

“There are eighty-nine companies mak- ing reports to the Department for that year. F.ar new companies came into ex- istence since the returns were made up for 1893, and one established company ceased to do business. The secured louns of these companies, outstanding at the end of 1894, amount to $120,229818 and the total liabilities to the public, chiefly deposits sad debentures, are $36,955,820. About two-thirds of the total loans and three-fourths of the total borrowings

are reportel by companics having their bead office in Toronto. The total subecribed capital of the Companies 18 $94,047,711, and the property assets $1,311 ,923. In each

of these totals there has been a steady in- crease during the past seven years. Tue stock fully paid up, and the partial pay- ments on stock, amount to 35,867.755 dols. The other items under liabilities to shareholders accumulating stock, $4,567,879; reserve fand, $10,741,666 dividends declared and unpaid, $94 and contingent fund and wn- appropriated protits, $1,461,933. The total deposits — $15,352,607 —are more than at tue end of the previous year, but less than at the end of 1892 The deben tures payable in Canada ($9,789,799) and debentures payable abroad ($51,014,502) show a steady increase since 1887.”

As compared with those of Ontario, our farmer® are in @ good position, and if the right means are adopted, they can easily, for the most pait, throw off their financial burdens and enter upon a career of pros perity. The means are to be found in our butter and cheese factories, and in the production of fruit. Our people should think more of the oll Sco-chwoman’s prayer, “May the Lord gie us a guid con- veit o’ oursels.” It should be our aim, and our farmers should unite and co-oper- ate, to establish a reputation as the best cheese-makers in all Canada. P. E. Island should be knowh a¢ the Glasgow cheese ie. A paying price would then be main- tained, in spite of competition. The repu- tation of Canadian cheese is high in Eng~

are

land, and the export of last year amounted ,

to fifteen millions of dollars. To the large sums Obtained in recent years frem the sale of cheese is to be largely ascribed the fact that Canada did not feel the recent great commercial depression as other countries did. Canadian cheese has been attacked in the British market; but it has been vind cated in a signal manner. The Canadian Gazette of the 19th September says :

“ The refulation of the baseless eharge brought against Canadian ch-ese by the North Bri.ish Agricultur.et hasgbeen com-

ti of ite assertion—is this week fully withdrawing the charge, and

acknowledging its error. It was, it will sav, of the United States cheese, that it was thinking when = i

spoke of adulteration with oleomargarine. One good effect the incident has had. It has emphasized the watchfulness of tle Dominion and Provincial authorities over this and other brauches of agriculture. The stringent laws in force in the dairying sections of Canada make adulteration im possible, and it is worthy of note that in jall the evidence presented to the Select | Committee of the British Parliament on | food products adulteration, there is not } even the slightest suggestion of avy adul- | terants being used in the manufacture of | the Canadian article. Note, for example. the evidence of Mr. Thomas Clement, of Messrs. Andrew Clement & Sons, cheese | factors, of Glasgow, who, by the way, has been in Canada to secure ex- tended purchases of cheese, not only from Eastern Canada but from Manitoba. Said

{ | Mr, Clement :- |

i

“We import large quantities of cheese from the United States, Canada and Aus- tralasia, in addition to our cheese of home

production.”

“Ts there much adulterated cheese im- ported ?” ; “Te, unfortunately, there is a good | deal. We know of large quantities, thou- | sands of boxes weekly, being imported into the country as * pure cheese,’ and sold ; he tame as

} adulterated butter.” } © Where from chiefly ?

‘i America.

| Again the Canadian Gazette of the 26th Se pte mber Says:

“[he North British Agriculturi«t has made amends, as we anticipated it would, | for its baseless charge against Canadian

cheese. It says at the close of an explana- | tory editorial :

| Phere can be absolute’'y no question whatever as to Canadian cheese being al- '

|

together “above suspicion” so far as the | use of adulterants 1s concerned. We again | express our regret at having through inad- | vertence made a grave but wholly unfound ed charge—which charge, however, has resulted in emphasising the facts as to the rigorous measures adopted by the Domin- | ion Government, at the instance of the Cavadian cheese industry, to preclude the | possibility of the adulterated article being manufactured in the Dominion.”

The Times, which quoted the charge, also welcomes the refutation. It says :

“The hope that we expressed when the statement was first circulated that it would prove unfounded is thus fulfilled, and the prompt action of the Dominion Govern- ment in contradicting an erroueous asser— tion which could not have been other than inimical to the interests of an honestly-con- ducted induatry will be welcomed by all who have watched the steady growth of | the Cheddar cheese trade of Canada.

Those who wish to see Canadian pro- ducts take a second place on British mar- kets must beat them in fair and open mar- ket. Hitting below the belt does uot pay in these days‘of the telegraph.” So you see that Canadian cheese has commanded attention in Great Sritain. } Its reputation has been established and it should be our part to establish that of rs | E.Island. It is a matter for congratu-

lation that the cheese product of P. E. Island was sold in bulk last year. After its character is fully eetablished we shal! get more remimerative prices. If 4 farmer | can get a quarter of a dollar, half a dollar, | or a dollars day by the sale of his milk to the factory, he has a means of paying the jnterest of his indebtedness—if he has any. Fifty cents a day will pay the interest on $3000. This is a practical way in which to test the matter. Every young man cannot inherita farm. Buta young man can boy one—and pay for it within five years, that is if he takes up dairying in connection with his farming operations.

But it is said that ar the cheese and butter factories increase the price will go down. It is

also to be remembered that as the factories increase, the people increase. England will always want cheese, and always be ready to pay well fur an excellent article. The farmer who obtains $100, $200, or $300 a year from the factory feels nicely, even though the price of oats is low. Take the Province of Quebec. There an as- tonishing advance has been made in dairy production. In the year 1890 the quantity of cheese made in the province was 23,626,950 pounds, valued at $2,362,- | 595; of butter, 2,779,668 pounds, valued at | $555,932. Inthe year 1894 these figures had swollen to 55,180,696 pounds of cheese, valued at $5,518,069, and 7,704.- 172 pounds of butter, valued at $1,540,- 834. That is, in four years Quebec had in- creased its output of cheese by nearly 140 per cent., and its output of butter by nearly 200 per cent. In 1891 the num- ber of cheese factories and creameries was 722; now it is 1,453. The great value of the dairy industry to the province is not to be wholly messured by the number of

dollars it aggregates. As Mr. Beaubien shows, that industry is @ source from

which a jJarge yolume of money is distrib- uted every year directly to the body of the people. The cheese sales of last year pumped into the circulation of the pro- vince above five and a half million dol- lars, while the money realized for butter added another million anda half. Seven million dollars flowing into a single pro- vince, and passing immediately into the hands of asaving class of farmers, would break the furce of a severe depression. In their annual addresses the bankers them- selves have again and agaio referred to the cheese industry as one of our strong- est lines of defence against depression, In Quebec it is the mainstay of good times, Nor in that province is it by any means a | full-grown industry. The conditions are | most favorable fora long continuance of | the present rate of increase. If in Quebec the increase has been 200 per cent., is a similar increase here too | much to expect? At present only about 3,000 of our farmers, or about one-fifth of the whole number, are sending milk to | the factories. There is room for increase here. Farmers must, in the future, do better for their boys than they have done in the past. A boy should be given some | thing on the farm by which he can earn j} money for himself. Our homes should be made attractive for the boys. The

boys should be given an interest in the farm and taught habits of industry. Men in the professions are not to be compared in point of importance to the country with the men who add materially to the productiveness of our farms. Every in- ducement ought to be held out to the boys, to the end that they may 1emain upon the farms; and they ought to be educated so that the brain will help the muscle. (Ap- plause).

His Honor proceeded to remark that the butter factories here had been able to seil part of their output in Newfoundland at fair prices, though little or nothing could

| } | | }

be obtained there for the mix d protuct made by hand, The price of butter de pends upon its reputation for quality. He knew a lady in Ontario who obtained 60 cents a pound for her butter; and 50 cents a pound was the average price in the West Indies. In this connection he quoted Mr. James R. Craddon, of Kingston, Jamaica, as saying when in Ottawa a_ short time ago: “If you had a cold atorage system at Montreal, St. John and Halifax, in which you could carry meat, there is a fortune in it. We cannot get really good fresh meat, por can we get good butter. We pay sixty cents a pound for very inferior butter. Your best butter is sold here at, say, the outside price of 25 cents @ pound. Why, don’t you see that if you had an entrance with ue in beef and dairy produce, you would easily gain our confidence in other You can take our sugar, our apices, our ruin, our fruit. We in Jamaica will take all the flour Canada can send along. It has been reported to the British Colonial agents that we prefer to deal with Canada instead of the United States, but at present we are taking all our flour from the United States.”

With cold storage, and a wel! e«tablish ed good character for our farm prodnets, the opportunities of the farmers of Prince Edward Ieland will be isnmensely in- creased. (Apphause.)

His Honor thes referred to the fruit and canning industries, and quoted the follow ing correspondence with the Director of the Experimental Farms:

: ” things ?

{cory.] Feb’y 23rd, 1835.

Sir,—I have the honor to request that you will be kind enough to answer the following questions referring to the pro- duction of apples in this Province: Ist, Are the climatic and other conditions of this Province adapted to the production of apples, and how do they compare with Nova Scotia?

2ud. What species of apple, suitable for the English market, is best adapted tor cultivation in this Province ? Would those species which are grown in Novae Scotia improve or deteriorate in this Prov ce?

J will also be thackful for any other in- formation on this subject which you may be able to give me.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, (Sgd.) G. W. Howtay.

Prof. Saunders, Direstor Experimental

Farm, Oitawa.

Central Experimental Farm, Orrawa, March 4th, 1895. Hon. G. W. Howlan, Lt.-Governor of Prinee Edward Char'ottetown, P. E. [. Dear Governor Howlay.

Your letter of Feb. 23rd is received, aad I take pleasure in giving you such snfor— mation as I can regarding the subject of apples for the Island.

During my earlier visits to your Prov- ince I took particular pains to inquire re- garding the production of apples, and at the time ofone of my visits the apples were in good condition to be testel. The opinion I formed was favorable, as far ae the limited amount of material would per- mit me to judge, and [ could see no mater- ial difference in quality between the apples produced on the [sland and thorve in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia. This is a question, however, which it would be well to investigate further. In the orchards near Charlottetown I found a number of varieties of apples succeeding wel!, and | see no reason why most of

Island,

the best commercial varieties for shipment should not succeed with you. At that time I was very anx-

ious that a part of the Government farm at Charlottetown should be devoted to testing fruits, and [ male this suggestion to the authorities, bat nothing came of it. In the absence of specitic information on this point, there may be some risk in recom- mending special varieties for the I-land; but from the healthy condition of the trees I saw in the orchards I examined, I have no hesitation in saying that I believe that thia fruif industry on the I-land might be extended with rery great advantage. I think the Gravenstein would do well with you, and this is the great export apple,dur ing the early part of the seatons, of the Annapolis Valley. The Golden Russet, King, Northern Spy, Ontario, Baldwin and Nonpareil are among the leading var- ieties now shipped from Nova Scotia and Ontario to Great Britain, and [ tuink these would all succeed in Prince Edward Is- land.

I shal! be very glad to give you any further information in my power ou this or any other subject.

Yours very truly, Wa. Saunpers, Director. Government Hovse, Charlottetown, March 9th, 1895.

Sin,—I have the honor to acknowledge, with thanks, the receipt of your letter of the 4th inst., with reference to the culti- vation of apples in this Province.

I would also b2 much obliged if you would give ne your opinion with regard to the cultivation of plums, greengages, cherries and other small fruite.

I have the honor to be, sir,

Your obedient ser: ant, (Sgd.) G. W. Hownay, Lieut. Governor.

Wm. Saunders, Esq ,

Director Experimental Farms, Ottawa.

Central Experimental Farm. Ottawa, March 15th, 1895.

Hon. G. W. Howlan, Lieutenant-Governor of P. E. Island.

Dear Governor Howlan,—Your letter of March 9th is received, end Iam pleased to know that the information I sent you was so useful to you, regarding apple cultiva- tion im your Province. he

With regard to plume and cherries, I cannot speak from personal ob-ervation, further than what i have observed in the garden of the late Mr. Brown at Charlette- town. There I saw seveal varieties of plums doing well. He aleo succeeded re- markably well with goosebarries, currants, raspberries and strawberries. I have no doubt that a)] these useful fruits would do well with you in almost any part of your Island. It is a matter of almost universal experience that where such varieties of , apples as I have seen growing on your ! Island succeed, there plums, ch-rries and : all the smaller fruits could be successfully grown. 4

I take the liberty of mailing you some of the recent reports of the Experimental | Farm. I do not know whether vou have them by you already or no’; but if you have you can give these to some other person. Iam sure, if you have not got them in your library, you qill find them useful to refer to for many purposes.

_ I shall be glad to give you any further | information in my power. Yours very traly, Wa. Savnpers, Director.

Here we have the highest authority for the opinion that app'es for export can be grown here. Five years ago the export of Canadian apples to England amounted te very little. But last year there were ship-

from Canada to England 1,189,000

rrel#, netting the snug sum of $2,731,- ‘

$96,000 worth of berries, $25,000 worth of other fruits, and $47,000 worth of canned fruits. An English paper contained this report:

“Transatlantic apples continue to ar- rive in increasing quantities. Messrs. Woodall & Co., of Liverpool, report the receipts to date to be 442,732 barrels against 35,729 barrels to the same date of last year. Prices are lower, and Messrs Woodall think the results of last week’s shipments will be unsatisfactory to ship- The followmg are the Canadian

pers. quotations:

Spy......128. 6d. to 18s. 6d. second, tos. od. to 128, od: Russets...12s. ad. to 15s. od; * ros. od. to 19s, 6d> Baldwins..1 4s. od. to 16s. od; 11s. od. to 12s, Gd- Greenings 135, od. to: 1 ris. 7d, to ras, 6d

Canadian apples on Covent Garden mar- ket are quoted 12s. to 20s. per barrel.” Apples placed upon the Covent Garden market are first inspected and their excel- lence mustebe established. Judge Weather- bie, of Nova Scotia, who owns a large or- chard of 7,550 trees in that province said to Lieutenant Governor Howlan a short time ago that it he were in P. KB. Island he “would go into orchards.” The varieties of apples required by the English mar- kets should be grafted on the old trees and we, too, should go into fruit raising for export. Ifanyone doubts the capabilities of our province in this regard, let him visit the farm of Inkerman Robertson. At forty years of age, Mr. Robertson planted an orchard which now yields him from $1006 to $1500 a year. Let any young man take ten acres and plant it with trees and if agorded cold storage and a} means of transport ta the mother country he will have much more money than if he

were to go to Bo-ton to work in a shoe factory. (Applause.) The or- chard should have a thick spruce

bush on every side, exeept the sou hern. Then, if properly managed the reealts will be good. You have the experience of Mr. Gill, of Little York, who reports $225 in one year from ao orchard of cue and a

half acres of land. I» respect to small fruite, Mr. Dickey and others are able te export large quantities of cranberries. ‘Ihe question of canning other small fruiis is being tested by Messrs. Jones & McRa: of Pownal.

These gentlemen are our pioneers in this

direction and they are canning ear y apples, peas, beans, cucumbers, plums, cherries, and berriee of all kinds. Whea i needed for the deveopment of the

growing, in addition to cold storag?, is knowledge concerning the culture of fruits, To obtain this knowledge, we had propos— ed that an intelligent man be sent to the Nova Scotia Schoo! of Horticulture which is conducted under the auapices of the Provincial Government. -R-garding this school His Honor quoted the Canadian Gazette as follows:

“The schoo! occup'es a healthy and de- lightful situation in Wo fville—s town of about 1,500 inhabitants—in King’s Coun- ty, one of the chief fruit couates of the far-famed Annapolis Valley, where or chards and gardens are found in all stages of growth. In and about the horticultural building may be found a library, conser vatories, orchards and gardens, laborator ies and museum. In the library are the leading works on horticulture, while the greenhuuse is placed in connnection with atore-room: and pits affording opportuni- ties for nursery practice, gra:ting, budd ng and such like practice work the winter. The orchards and gardens, which are near the buildings, contain all the fruits that thrive best in the various parts of the prc- vince. These fruits are in considerable yariety and in all stages of growth, in or- der to illustrate methods of cultivation. The schoo! is open for the admission and classification of all students above the age of fourteen possessing a good moral char acter. Those who desire to take a fall courze must give evidence of a knowledge of the branches taught in Canadian com- mon schools. Admission will be granted either on the results of an examination or by certificates of proficiency from institu- tions of recegnized standing. Tuition is free to all students, anil boarding halle have been established where they may find board for $2.60 per week. The neces- sary expenses in the school for one yéar are from $85 to $90.”

In conclusion, His Honor made an elo- quent appeal to the farmers to organize, co-operate and work together for the im- provement of our great Million Acre Farm, the chlargement of our products and the raising of a reputation of our exports in the markets of the world—particularly in the direction of cheese, butter and fruit~—and the prosperity of a'l.

The chairman expressed the great ome he had found in listening to. the

Jieutenant-Governor’s address. He stated that, so far,the Marshfield factory had been successful, and he felt sure that it would prove to be a profitable investment. There was, however, room for extension and improvements. Provision ought t> be made for butter making in the winter season, together with the raising of calves. Without a creamery, the factory, he said, would not be complete. He felt sure, also, that we can do a great deal in the fruit business. He introduced, —

Mr. Dillon, who remarked that His Honor had so fully gone over the matter in his able address, that he had little to say. With regard to the fruit business he had only to state the fact that fruit trees re- quire manure, which can be obtained from the cows which produce the milk from which butter and cheese is made in our factories. Fruit cultivation and dairying will go very well together. The prospects for cheese have not this year been very bright. But the price of cheese is now advancing, ani he _ be- lieved that a remunerative figure would he obtained. Respecting the report that a quantity of our cheese had been consigned to Hodgson Brothers, he had to say that no cheese from this Province had ever been consigned to any person in Montreal. One man in Liverpool—a gentleman by the name of Rowson—-hal handled al! tha cheese that we have so far exported, the cheese purchased by Ho :gson Brothers having been bought on order for him. He thought that fact a very good proof of the excellence of its quality. But we ought not to rest satisfied at that, or be at all content until we produce the best

cheese and the best butter sent to the Brit- ish markets. He would never be satisfied with less; and he felt sure that this result could be obtained. As to the protit to the farmer, he knew one man who had obtained $57 per cow iv the'rifh of a sea- son. He referred to Mr. Owen Sullivan, who, he believed, was producing milk cheaply, as wel! as plentifully. Mr. D. P. Irving, of Vernon River, had obtained close upon $400 for milk delivered at the factory in summer, and $156 for milk de- livered up to February last year to the but- ter factory at New Perth. There is, of course, a great deal of labor in connection with the business, People cannot now-a- days make money at anything without Jabor. A great point is to have .se milk delivered to the factury in good condition. Wooden and pewter buckets ought to be discaried,and nothing used but tin buckets aud cans. D _a’t uve a cloth to wipe the dishes after washing them; use a brush. Have the whey emptied out of the milk cans as early in the day as possible, At- tention to these details are necessary in ot-

” = e - - a 000.00. Besides these there were exported | taining the reputation that we desire for

our butter and cheese. The cheese rent to Montreal this year were sent for cold storage. We can saye freight by provid- ing our own cold storage, and make money by shipping, in quantities, direct to Eng- a To this end, we need to concentrate our efforts. We ought to work together and the number of dairy patrons should be greatly enlarged. The indus- try should be kept up the year round; and a Centrai Creamery oncht to be established in Charlottetown. We covld then take advantage of the Weet [: dia trade, as well as that of Great Britain. The world is engaged in com- mercial warfare. As old Bonaparte said, Késyecess attends the heaviest battalions.” We onght to concentrate and co-operate. If Wellington had not trusted in Blucher, Waterloo would not have been won. Our farmers must learn to trust one another, and to work harmoniously together for the mutual prosperity of all. There are about 15,000 farmers in this Island; only

2,963 are now sending milk ‘to the factories. This is bat a small detachment. The more it is eu larged the better, Iu conclusion Mr.

D.jlon referred to the amounts advanced to the prtrons of the factories so far this year, as follows:
