DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURF.

Tae mission im which Mesers. Hodson and bis associates are now engaged is sertainly Ome Of the highest possib'e im- portance, im 80 fer as the agricu:tura] aed commereial interests of the province are concerned.

We have in somesections of the countrr, come cattle of the tirat quality, But, takiog the province asa whole our live stock is below par. Those of our farmers who have been engaged in clearing the land, raising trotters, and talking politice, not to speak of rearing large families for emigration to the States, have, therefore, bad neither time nor meane to devote to the improvement of their live stock. The sires ot the.r herde have been those of the roadside. The heads of their flocks have been of mixed blood. Their fodder was often lacking in quantity and quality. Wanting a strong incentive to the exercise of skill and care in breeding and feeding,

; | many of our farmers have neglected bo th

floeke. So improvement in respect to live stock wes impossible. Buta brighter day has dawned, In the more advanced settlemeats of the Pro~ yace there je evidenta decided advance eince the begianing of the dairy industry . aud now Mr. Hodeon and his associates hate arrived to describe the methods that have been successfully pursued in Ontario

_ and to show how our farmers may effec-

iively co operate to .mprove ‘their live stock,

Of course our conditions are very differ- ent from thoseof Ontario. True, we have a yovernmeat etock farm. But we are wholly lacking in a central department of agriculture and in qualified offisials and meésus of transport at low rates of freight, either to the neighboring provinces or to Great Britain,—all of which Ontario pos- esees. Still, some of our breeders have won @ gouu ucwcure of success, notwith:tand- ipg sli the disadvantages; and their suc- cess shows what may be done when theee disadvantages are removed.

Te go at once tothe root of the matter’ this Province veeds—bas long needed —a depar'ment of agricalcure, with the gov- ernomeui bebind it, and an active minisier to afford the means Ly wu.ch our farmere and their orgsniza jvus may cooperate witheftect.

————

The farmers meeting held at Kensing~ ton last evening was not large.

William McNeil! Simpson, Eeq., occupi- ed the chair and the meeting was address~ ed by each of the Commissioners.

Mr Hodson, in the eourse of his addrese, referrei to the trade in “stockere,’’ thous- ands of which, he said, were seot from Ontario westward every year. The Live Stock Association has promoted this trade, eaitie shows Another important feature introduced by the Aseociations is the annual election of promineet farmere to the Boards of the leaving Fair Associations. Formerly theee taire were enrolled chiefly by citizens of the cities in which they were held; now in al] the departments in which the farm- ers are interested the chief work in all the great Ontario shows i# controlled by farmers. Ooe of the greatest benefiis accuring from the work of the Live Stock Associations has been the more frequent mingling together of the live stock breed- ers aod importere. By this means cach member has learned more of the neede of

the country and has cbtained a better | knowledge of methods practised by others. Ten years ago

the importere of live} stoek; were a number of widely scattered units possess - ing little public influence. To-day they area united body wielding @ greater and and more beneficial influence oa agricule ture than soy other organization in Unterio,and their fature influence end power for public good is only limited by their exertions,

Li-T8 OF STOCK FOR SALE

The lists of stock for sale by m-mbers of the Association have been published monthly since 1897 in the Agricultural Gazetie, free of expense to the mem- bers. These lists have been of great ser- vie in bringing to the notice of probable buyers where thestock which they require

|

can be procured. The liste have been -placed in the bands of stock breeders throughout Canada and also in the border- ing States, asd of each ceeretary of @ Farmers’ Institute and Fair Association. I: is impressed on the minde of all mem- bers the advantage of having the list of stock they bave for sale published in this way. To all ecquirers as to where certain

stock can be procured this lie: is mailed. A large wumber of appil- cants iS received each week.

In order to make the mostout of these, buyers ehould koow that there is sucha list aad where it can be procured. Theres fore the Ontario Associations decided 'o advertise there Jiste in the most widely circulated Ca: adiae agricultura) papers, and in some ofthe leadiog papers in th: United States. These adverticemeats state thata listcf stock toreale by the members of the Cattle, Sheep aud Swine Breeders’ Aseociation cao be obtained on application to the Secretary, M-. 4. P. Weetervelt, Toronto.

TUCK BLUGHT AND 6OLD.

Lists of stock bought and sold are l.k?- wise published and sent out each week. Thie keeps the stock intereets ever before the people, and arouses in the minds of many adesireto improve tueir stock, ani the ‘List of Stock for Sale’ tells them

ANIMALS TO EXCHANGE

There are throughout Canada hundreds of good animale sacrificed eaco year be- cause the persone who own them cannot use them any longer as sires on account of having animals got by,them in their breed- ing herds.Ip many cases avimals for this reason are disposed of before they reach the wost valuable age as stock getters. Scores of animale are sold to the butcher each year to the great loes ot the country. To in a measure overcome this difficulty an Exchange column has been opened in the Agricultural Gazette, and members who have ueeful sires to exchange are al lowed to advertise them immediately after the “list of etock” each month.

FARM HELP EXCHANGE.

During the past year a department, “Farm Help Exchange,” hae been added to the Gazette. The Farm Help Exchange was started with the object of bringing

help for farm or dairy forwards bis or her pame and full partiewlars to the Secretary of the Live Btock Association. Ino case of persons wishing to employ help the fol- lowing is given :— particulars as to the kiod of work to be done, probable lengtb of engagement, wages,etc. In the case of persone wishing employment, the following is given:—experience and references, age, particular department of ‘arm work in which @ position is desired, wages expected, and where last employed. These namee, when received, together with particulars, sre published free ino the two following issues of the Agricul- tural Gazette, and are afterwards kept on file. Every effortis made to give all pos-ible aseistauce, to the end that suit

able workers, male or female, may be ob- tained. Every unemployed person with- log to engage in farm or dairy work is invited to take advantage of this oppor- tunity.

A large cumber of applications received each week shows without comment the of interest taken and how much this ven- ture i8 appreciated by the farmers throughout Ontario. Since this work was fret taken up in August of last year, the number of persons who have taken advan‘age of the opportunity afforded has been far beyond what wae expected. Situations have been found for thuse wanting work on @ farm, and a great many breeders have been supplied with atockmen. Numerous ietters have been received from breedere and others commending the work of the Association in this direction.

ANNUAL AUCTION SALES,

The Live Stock Associations io Untario sre row seriously condsidering the advisability of eetabilishing annua! auc:ion sales of breeding stock. The question has been thoroughly discuesed. Many pro- minent breedere and farmers are very favorable to the venture.

In 1891, we ,..iw curs ci ime Ontario Agricuitural College employed their win- ter vacation in January in visiting certrin farming ceutres and delivering address 2s on subjects helpful to the farmere. They did spiendid pioneer work, but their time was co limited tbat only a emal! part of the province could be vieited. Duriog the year 75 meetings were held and about 2,500 farmers added their nameeto the rollof membership. From this rucleus the present ry:tem of Farmers’ Institutes was built up. The eecond step was to adda practical Ontario farmer to each deiegation,ana to hold a two day’s session, In ashort time the demand for speakers from ali parts of ihe province was greater than the supply. The correepondence increased, and the work grew to euch proportions thatit became neceseary to appein: @ S perintendent of Farmers’ [netitvtes.

Bylaws aud rule@ of order to govern meetings were published, and the whole department organized for systematic work. This work has grown from year to year, until in the year ended Juae 30th, 1900, we fiad a paid op member- ship of 16,808. Duriug the past year alto 677 meetings were beid ot which 3,133 addresses were delivered before audievces comprising 119,40] persone. The best home talent is employed, and in addition, prominent speakers are engaged from tke United States and eleewbere.

What medical associations are to the practising physician and conventions are 10 the echool teacher, so the Institutes are to the farmer. They bring right to hie dvor the men who have beeu the moet successful im the several branches of ag- ricultural science, and enable the farmer to reap the benefit of the vears of ex- perience of these men without having to go through these experiences himself.

Thus from year to year the work of organization becomes more and more complete, the demand for good practieal epeakereé more and more urgent, and the good results that will follow depend only onthe amount of time ana energy that shall be devoted to the work by the far- mere themeelves,

THE DAIRY AfSOCIATIONS.

To 1891 the travelling dairy wae sent out by tre Minieter of Agriculture of On- tario to give the farmerethe latest infor- mation on butter maxing, 60 aa to improve the quality of the butter made in the home deiry, ae distinguished from the factory- made article. The work continued from 1891 to 1895, and meetings were beld throughout the leagth and breath of the province. Tothisend, also, a special pamphlet entitled “Dairying for Profit” was distributed among farmers and farm- ers’ wives to the extent of 20,00€ copies.

The organization of the Dairy Depart~ ment at Guelph was followed by the opening of the Guelph Dairy School is 1893 and tke institution of a short couree for cheese and butter makere to meet the demand that had risen tor this class of instruction. In 1895 the Guelph School was supplemented by the Eastern Dairy
