PRINCE CO. EXHIBITION,

A Large Gathering of People anda, Pretty Fair Show. |

Tar Prince County Exhibition was form- ally opened yesterday by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor. On being introduced to the audience by the High Sheriff of Princes County, Wm. Strong, Esq., His Honor expressed regret that he had not been more particularly informed as to the condition of agriculture in the County and the number and quality of the products on exhibition; for he was consequently with. out a

TEXT FCR AN OPENING ADDRESS.

But judging from what he had seen and heard in a general way, he had no doubt but the labors of the husbandman had been abundantly blessed this year, and that the Exhibition was a good one. We have, in- deed, great cause for thankfulness. All things considered there is not a happier por- tion of this wide and prosperous Dominion than Prince Edward Island; and, perhaps, our people are not, as a whole, sufticiently thankful for the blessings of peace and plenty, political independence and freedom which they enjoy. Many go abroad; but if they would work as enthusiastically here as they are obliged to do in the Northern States of the neighboring Republic and in the great Northwest, Islanders would be even more successful at home than they are abroad. The Northwest is, no doubt, @ great country, and if our young men must go away they do well to go there. But it would be much better to see the Northwest filled up with immigrants from over-crowded Britain and Europe, and to see our young men remain at home to till their native soil and

DEVELOP THE RESOURCES

of our Island Home. It is pleasing to know that, since this time last year, two cheese factories have been established within the County. This is an industry in which we ought to succeed, and which may prove a source of great profit. Through- out Canada it is steadily growing. A few years ago we, Canadians, did not make sufficient cheese for home consump- tion. But last year the exports of cheese amounted in value to about $250,000. A few years ago, we ourselves had only the Hydes and the Crosbys, of West River, and the Lairds of New Glasgow, and a few others, who made cheese for sale of the best quality; now we have several large and flourishing cheese factories, all of which turn out cheese of excellent quality. But to excel, as we ought toexcel,in the manufacture of cheese and butter, we re- quire a better breed of cattle than we now have. The milk of an ordinary cow will not yield within a third of the quantity of cream that the milk of a Holstein or Jersey cow will yield. A Jersey will yield cream enough to make from 10 lbs. to 25 lbs. of butter a week; but from the milk of an ordinary cow we think we do well if we obtain seven lbs. a week, or one lb. a day. Then, the pasturage of the cow during the hot, dry months of summer, should be sup- plemented by a daily mess of “fodder corn.” This will pay well. The yield of this ‘“‘fodder corn” is simply marvellous. An acre on Government House farm pro- duced as much as thirty ton of it; had kept his six cows in good condition; and there is still enovgh left to last till the 10th of October. How many acres of pasture land would it take to do that? It is gratifying to learn that from one end of the Island to the other the oat crop

HAS BEEN EXCELLENT

this year—particularly the crop of New Zealand white oats; and that prices of white oats for shipment to the West Indies are good, and likely to continue good. It is also extremely gratifying to know that the yield of wheat is, this year, unprecedently large; and that on this account the money usually spent in the importation of flour will pe saved. Then the active sale of horses this season, has brought a good deal of money into the country; and it would surprise many to learn that the eggs which the farmers wives and daughters sold to the peddlers as they went their rounds, actually brought into the country a larger amount of money than the horses. Last year the egys we exported were valued in the Customs returns at $149,000; or only about $20,000 less than the export of horses, cattle and swine. Now the Government of the Province should foster agriculture more than it does. The great questions which divided parties in olden days, are now happily settled. Our politicians have now little left to wrangle over; and the struggle should be to see which party could de the most to help for- ward the farming interests of the Province. in this Province there are very few paupers; but there are, on the other hand, no very rich men, such as Senator Coch- rane, who can afford to import at their own expense very valuable animals. Conse- quently, the Government of the day should from time to time, dip their hand deep into the public purse for the purpose of obtain- ing for the benefit of the Province, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, etc., of the very best breeds. In looking about the exhibition building he was sorry to see that there is this year no exhibit of factory cloth; but he felt somewhat re-assured when he learned that the cause was that the Messrs. Reid Brothers had ail their samples ready packed for the

DOMINION AND CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION,

It is to be hoped that these enterprising gentlemen will be successful in their com- petition with the cloth manufacturing firms of the neighboring Provinces. Before con- cluding his address, His Honor said he would like to give a bit of advice to the farmers wives, which he had forgotten when touching upon matters relating to the dairy. It was this: in the manipulation of milk use tin dishes; let the wooden be thrown aside, or used only in carrying the skim milk to the pigs. While delivering his address His Honor was repeatedly ap- plauded.

After declaring the Exhibition open, His Honor and party, including Judge Hensley and R. R. Hodgson, Esq., A. D. C., ex- amined the exhibits in the Drill Shed, and then waiked to the cattle show grounds.

_In the Drill Shed, the wheat on exhibi- tion was exceptionally fine, and there Was a good competition. The barley and Oats were also very good indeed, though the competition was not as good as

We anticipated. The potatoes were fine,

though not so large or numerous as in for- mer years; other roots rather below the mark. Asfew samples of splendid apples were shown, Mr. Marcus Duncan, of Free- town, deserying special mention for his show ia. this department. On tho cattle show grounds there were afew very superior animals in each of the departments; the others rather poor for Prince County. We were pleased to see & very cre- ditable competition in young draft. mares and in mares with their _ foals. The show both in and out was tuch marred by the pressing crowds of people. The exhibits in the Drill Shed should be placed on higher tables, and there should be railings to keep the crowd off; and the lines on the show grounds should be better maintained. Many persons could not see or examine the exhibits at all because of the crowding in. This should be prevented next year.

The wants of the inner man were well supplied on the grounds, the respective eating tents bearing in large letters the respective inscriptions:

‘* METHODIST DINNER AND TEA”

and ‘CATHOLIC REFRESHMENT TABLES, HOT DINNERS, OYSTER STEWS,”

So that exhibitionists obtained good Methodist fare or good Catholic refresh- ments. They had their choice and paid their money!

The music of the Summerside Brass Band was, considering everything, very good indeed. We are glad to learn that the talented young musicians who coinpose it are about to obtain a larger and better supply of instruments.

There was not much drunkenness.
