CANADA AND THE BRITISH MARKET

In so far as the present Government of the their predecessors, they are doing well—

Canada are following footsteps of even though they are going directly con-

trary to their pre-election declarations.

This is yractical retention of the Nationa! Policy

true in respect to the

as a whole: and it is true particularly in

respect to the development of agriculture. Mr. Fisher has had the wit to maintzin and carry out the policy of the Liberal-

Conservative Ministers of Agriculture

even though it is antagonistic to the pria siples of Free trade. Under his directions the Department of Agriculture is promot- jing the interests of our farmers as the Mimistere who went before him did; and the Government is gaining credit for so doing, both in Canada and in Great Brit- ain. Thus the London Daily Chronicle refers to the present visit of Professo Robertson to Great Britain, and says:

“Take the dairying industry as an illustration of what Professor Robertson justly calls the wonderful development uader the new methods. To-day Canada is our biggest source of supply of imported cheese, far outdistancing the United Stater. In 1889, before the new methods were applied, she sold cheese to British consumers to the value of $8,750,000; by 1394 the increase was nearly fifty per cent., and 1896 the total was nearly $15,750,000. In the same period the butter exports to Great Britain have increased one and athird million dollars, making a total increase of $8,250,000 in British dairy purchases in Ganada since the initiation of the policy of which Professor Robertson is the expovent.

This is a notable achievement. It is only an illustration of progress all along the line of agriculture, aod Professor Robertson’s past reord gives importance to his belief that this is only a begining, and that much greater things are yet to geome. It is, then, worth the while of all who are interested in the British farmer and the great question of our food supply, to learn how it bas been done,

“The most eigniflcant feature of this expansion isthe part which the State plays in it—at least, in its initation. The British farmer gets little direct held from his Government. The Canadian farmer nas his Governments— federal and provin- cial—alwavs at his side. And. Professor Robertson justifies this State first-help on broad economic principles’ Seven-tenths of the Canadian population are agricultur- ists.Agriculture is, therefore, the national mndustry, and must remain so. But being apread over so vast aportion of the Ameri- tan continent, from Atlantic to Pacific it, is so isolated in’ parts, placed amid so greata variety of climate, soil, facilities for transportion, market requirsments and market advantages,as to need Goverr- ment stimulus. In Canada this Govern- meut aid follows three distinct lines of action—

(1) Scientific research and experiment by processes far too extensive and expensive for the individual farmer.

(2) The application to everyday farming of the facts and principles so estabished by research and experiment.

(3) The securing of the best transport facilities, 0 as to minimise cost of transit and enabie the farmer to market his pro- duce in the best possible condition.

“In each section of Canada, Govern- ment experimental farme have been es- tablished as centres of education and object-lessons to the eurrounding farmers. Here tests are made under the best sciea- hific conditions, and the results applied for the betterment of the methode of the ayer- age farmer. Thus atone of these Goy- ernment farms we find 20,00 distinct samples of milk tested to establish one fact—namely, that when a cow has reach- ei her maximum percentage of solids in the milk she produces, an increase of richness in the ration she is fed on does not yield an increase in the richness of her milk, but only an increase in the total

quantity of milk she produces, Another rlustration is the time and care expended vn the production of the greatest possible amount of suitable cattle tood from a given area of land and with the least possible ex- pense for Jabor in cultivation. The result i@ @ compound, now known as “Robertson mixture,’ of Indian corn, horse beans to aupply the albuminoids and sunflower seods for the fat. An experiment ona

forty-acre lot shows that with the choice of

foddera which such tests suggest, the number of cattle kept by the average

farmer can be easily doubled without aacrifice of the revenue derived from any

other source.

“Another most successtul means of educating the farmer has been the iustitu- tiow of dairy etations as centres of organ-

make if he will carry on his business on

cial alliance with the Mother Land.

ized work of dairy instruction. Here tbe | great object has been to reach each farmer individually, and get him to see with his own eyes how much more monev he can

sound co-operative principles, ‘Cat down your cost of production, and don’t alwavs be dreaming of raising the market price by any Other means than by Improving the quality of your produce.” This is the economic principle which Professor Rob- ertson is always seeking to drive bome. Through these dairy stations in every corner of Canada he and his staff of assist ants tre introducing co-operative methods of dairying where these were unknown; they are establishing winter butter making

in factories; and they are ley lling up the general quality of the dairy products of al} he provinces, 7

sg lake Prince Edward Islan i Sf the gar- den of Canada”—as an illustration ot

what has been done. No section of Canada has finer pastures and greater natura! advantages for dairying. Yet the industry was stagnant and in bad favor among the farmers. The Dairy Commissioner wen! boldly in and took complete charge of th: work of cheese-making and butter-making in the factories as they were erected by the people. In 1892 there was one factory.

in i893 there were eleven, to-day there are nearly forty; and no province has a bigher proportion of cheese of the best quality. Note, too, that, having initiated these new methods, the Treasury of the Dominion has been recompensed for all it has spent, and as the industry is well ae} vpon its feet, it is ieftto the farmera them- selves and the enterprise of business men. “By such methols as Canadian cheese has been placed in the very front rank among imported cheese in British markeis, And by means of winur butier making,the same will, Professor hobertson believes, be done for outter. A year or two ago English buyers hardly knew what fresh made Canadian Creamery butter was lke. The Canadian butter sold here was generally stale when it reached the con- sumer, and so the export butter trade of Canada dwindle away alos: to nothing. The British imports of 1895 were only 536,797 dols.; those of 1896 were 1,653,421 dgis, and it half Professor Robertson’s expectations are fulfilled, Canada will in e year or two Command an immensely larger share of England’s butter b.!), which last year exceeded 74,500,000 dole. . This butter bill shows a gain of over 9,000,000 dols; in two years. The increase in British needs will, Professor Roberteon believes, continue, and aided by the growing British preference for things Canadian, Canada means to capture this annual increase. “The cold storage system, which is this season in full operation, must prove a great help to this end. Arrangements have been made by direction of the Canadian Minis- ter of Agriculture for mechanical refriger- ation upon seventeen steamships plying between Canada abd Great Britain to pro- vide safeand reasonably cheap carriage for cheese and butter; fruits, such as grapes, peaehes, pears; poultry and dressed meat, and all perishable food products. A weekly cold storage system is provided to London, Avonmouth for Bristol and Liverpool, sud there ie a fortnightly sys- tem to Glasgow. To fit up each ship cost £2,000. Of thisthe Dominion Govern- ment pays one half and _ the steamship comdany tbe other half, Each creamery, which the farmers build themselves on the co-operat-

thes

ive and self-supporting lines laid down by the Government, has its cold’ storage warehouse established under the stimulus of a Government bonus of 100 dollars; refrigerator cars, fully iced, run regularly on the main lines of railway to the various Atlantic ports without extra charge to the farmer,and shipping points such as Montreai have cold storage build- ings. Thus there is one continuous line of cold storage trom the producer, even though he be in the far prairie country of the West, to the English producer, and it is as cheap as it is effective. Thus the Canadian farmer not only avoide direct Joes from spoiled produce, but he is enabled to choose his own time for selling, and we may be sure he will take care to get the best price.

“‘ These are some of the means by which Canada is pursuing her policy of Pye

he has laid her plans with great care and foresight, and it will be surprising if success does not reward her efforts. What might not be the future of British agricul- ture if the same spirit of co-operation and prudent foresight animated our farmers and governing bodies ? ”

It ought to be bourne in mind—and the English papers ought to know—that the plans laid “with great care and foresight”

are those of the Liberal Conservatives, and that credit for the attending those plans belongs largely to the Liberal

success

Conservat ive Party.

We note that Professor Robertscn in the course of an address delivered at Man- chester, a few days ago,referred to what he described as a “new era in trade,” and he said that “the cold storage policy of the Government was the beginning of a new era so far as the quality of Canadian butter eggs, and fruit, as delivered in the English market, was concerned. These things could now be carried without the least in- jury; and, as Canada had a fertile soil,a taoroughly intelligeut and industrous peo-

vie, of the most clea.ly habits, as well as

a pure and _ hbealthy atmosphere, the = qnality of the pro ducts was of the very highest order. Products from Northera clinates had better keeping qualities,a richer flavor and a_ higher percentage Of bourishing properties than those grown further to the South. The

have

no doubt that the farmers of Prince

Edward Island, at least, will consiantly labor to maintain the high character given Canadians by Professor Robertson. But, it is perhaps needless to remark, they are laboring under a disadvantage as compared with Canadian farmers in the West,—they are still without direct steam communica- tion or cold storage. ?>+3+ oe

“HONOR TO WHOM HONOR,”

We tow to the superior learning of the Guardian, as evinced this morning, and heartily agree with our highly esteemed contemporary “ that the words are full! of meaning just as (Saint) Paul wrote them.” But, as quoted by the Patriot, they might, mean honor to whom honor is given honor to whom honor is denied—or any- thing else. In view of the fact that this Prevince has so far received little or nothing as a result of Liberal administra- tion under the direction of Sir Louis Davies, the words, as quoted, must mean something other than honor to whom honor ‘* is due,”

When Sir Louis shall have segured tle coustruction of the Southern Railway and the Hillsborough bridge, direct communi- cation with Great Britain, cold storage, and greatly improved means of winter com- munication with the mainland, he will be entitled to ali the honor that the grateful people of his native Province can bestow. But at this juncture “ honors are easy ”—

-or rather, if there be any honor it belongs

to the people who placed Sir Louis in a position to obtain ths honor of a seat in in the Cabinet as well as the honor of knighthood, and gave him an opportunity t» render his country distinguished service.
