THE AGRICULTURAL MISSION.

Meetings at St. Peter's and Souris— Great Interest Exhibited.

Charles Waye, Esq., President of the St. Peter’s Branch of the Agricultural and Dairymen’s Asociation occupied the chair.

Besides the Professors, Mr. Dillon, and Premier Farquharson, Hon. B. Rogers, Hon. Anthony McLauchlan, Rev. iather

Curran, Rer. Mr. McKenzie, Rev. Rev. §Father SMcLean, Rev. Mr. Gillis Hon. William [Campbell, F. L

Haezard, Eeq., Stipendiary Magistrate of this city, Jonn Robertson, of Inkerman Farm, and ethers occupied seats on the platform. In the audience we noticed, be sides a number of lad es, Horace Haszard Eeq., President of the Board of Trade; Dr. MeLeod, Messrs W. Mutch,Hopeton; Dav d P. Irving, Eeq., Verncn River; T. A. McLean, Duncen Darrach, of Canoe Cove; George E. Hughes, James Mcleaac, of The Charlottetown Herald, Fred. Nash, :f The Patriet, and other representative geni'emen, too numerous to mention. The hall was overcrowded.

Professor Macoun began his address by re'erring to the fact tuat only 50,000 of the 700,000 farmers in Canada were yet iv correspondence with the Experimental Farm Station. He reminded the audience that farmers who desire to obtain copies of the annual reports and bulletins issued from the farm have but to send their names and addresees to the farm to receive these documents during the whole period of their lives. Itis already wel! known that farmers may participate in the free dietri- bution of tested seeds by making appli~ cation at the farm; and he was glad to bear that many farmers had obtained seeds from the farm for the improvement of their crops. It is the tendency of seeds ‘to revert tothe wild state; and everything that ie neglected is likely to go back.

The Prefeseor then described the cons ditione @ecessary to the successful culti— vaiion of the potatoe, andthe mode of culture followed at the Experimenta! Farm; and advised the farmers, while holding on to the McIntyre till they obtained a better variety, to try to obtain euch a variety suitable tothe climate and local conditions of P. E. Island. He agaiu advised the farmers not to put off the killing of the bvgs. Spray as soon as the young bugs are seen.

Professor Robertson said that be was giad to note the awakening in P.©. Island. Not farmers only but the leading members of the Government were here to show their interest in the progress and success of agriculture. The people of P. E Islacd areciever Their mevtality :s al] right. But they peed to turn their attention more than ever to their farms and use their minds as well as iheir hands io agricultural work. Their land, too, is naturally all right. I: 1 not the kind of land so much as tLe kind of tillage thet is important, The most prosperous farmers are fourd on soils that are neturally poor; the poorest farmers are often found on soils that are naturally rich. Heretofore the farmers of P. E. Island have not grown enough to keep their toys at home. This ie not creditable. While there are eome boys who oughtto go abroad, the bulk of our young people wiil do better by Staying at home,—if only right methole of agriculure are adopted and the farms made profitable as well ss icteresting. FPro~ fessor Rovertson then proceeded tu discuss the matter much as at Kensington, and other meetings; and poioted out the ad- vantages to accrue from the “I!lustration Stations ” to be established.

Profeasor Macoun then epoke on ihe question of fruit growing--paiticularly apples. He advised manuring the orchard by growing clover and ploughing it down ; and repeated bis injanction® as to care in the selection of site, drainage, preparation of soil, selection of trees inthe planting of an orcherd,as well eas in spraying for fruit. He udvised all interested in or. chards to join the Friuit Growers’ Asso~ ciation.

Professor Robertson “those two important farm animals”— the pigandthe hen. Firstastotae pig: In the treatment of the pig there are three imporcant matters te be attend- ed to. To the ord¢r of their importance these were (1) shelter, (2) treatment, (3) feed. Tbe worst enemy of the pigisthe wind, The pig should not be compelled to stasd in the wind. He will nerer do so voluctarily. His trough should be in a sheltered place and bis sleeping quarters should be warm anddry. The breeding sow should have exercise and should be neither fat nor leans The little pigs should pot be weaned until six months cld, and then gradually rather thap all at once A iSittle low trough ehould be placed for them two weeks old, and a little food scattered on itso that they may learn to eat while the #ow is having her meals. Theo at six weeks old two of the largest of the litile fellows may be taken away and placed in a pen by themselves, and two each day till all are weaned. By following this plan neither the eowmor her young will suff-r

then dealt with

at

As early in ihe spring as possible © half sere of good land should be ecown to a mixture of peas, ovts and vetches, avd when thie crop is

about eix inches high the ]ittle pigs svould be turned in on it. .This ls the cheapest and best way te feed young pige. Whea they have reached a weight of 110 to 120 lbs they ought to be put up for fattening. Raw potatoes won't tatten pigs at ail; boiled potatoes, with a little meal mixed in is very good food. Jt doesn’t, how- ever, pay to boil grain for fattening pigs— cracked grain will do very well if well soaked and frd raw. But it dceen’t pay to feed a pig on decayed food. A pig shonld be fed three times s day,—and never quiteas much as be wil! eat. Give him « good mealand leave him a little hungry.

Professcr Rotertecn then des- cribed the method of tatteming ebick-

ens as followed in the southof Eng- land, where the best farmers in the most prosperous and most beauti- ful part et Great Britain, are engaged io that business. In actual prectice the re~ sults of experiments in Ontario and Que- bec, chickens had been (1) purchased at fifty cents pair, (2) fattened at a cost of 31 cents, (3) shipped in cases at a cost of 3 cents a pair, (4) the freight to Englaod and other expenses had amounted to 22 cents per pair;and the chickens, 400 cases bad beeo eold in Liverpcoi by wholesale, at $1.76 per pair. Severai inquiries have since been received for more chickens of the same kind. There is meney in the business. The Government will establish two chicken fattening aiations io P. E. 1. this year; and he felt sure that the success with regard to them would be as marked as the success which had attend- ed the cheese industry, Mr, Dillon deliver- ed a sbort and telling address, and Hon. Mr. Farqubarson followed with an en- couraging speech.

Mr. Jobs Robertson, (Inkerman) also apoke briefly and j;racticalily upon tbe prospects of apple culture in P. E. Leland,

In the course of the meeting » number of questeons were asked saad answers given.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Montreal Gazette observes that Sir Wilfrid briogs with him from Wash ington “one big bill for expenses for entcrtaiping his U.S. bosts, and one sunny amile, much weakened by overwork.”

— The Montreal Star suggests that if Mr M ilock is thinking of getting out a stamp 1.0 celebrate Mr. Kmmerson’s victory ino New Brunswick be might nse as an appo- priate motto, “We have bad a bigger bri- bery than has ever been hefore.”

—BHaving been disentangled from the platitudes cf officialiem it sow appears that the net effect of the punishment inflected by President McKialey on Gen- eral Eagan, in lieu of diamiseal from the United Srates army, is that he recive a six years’ holiday on full pay, $5,500 a year.

—TIi is thought thatthe *ix monthe janketting— first at Quebec and tnen at Washington —will cost Canada a bundred thousand dollars. But, asthe Mail! and Empire remarks, it would have been cortly aftair, indeed, if the commissioners had brought back such @ treaty as they were prepared to conteat to.

—The moreour neighbours see of the workings of cur preferential tariff the bet'er thev like it,remarke the Mail and Em- pire. Official reports of the commerce of Canadaduring the five montbs of 1898 whep the full preference was in force are publish - ed by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics at Washington. These show that our im- ports from the United Staves during that period amounted to $41,456,780, as egainat $35,573,647 in the corresponding part of 1897, acd $29 124,072 in the correspood- ing part of L¥93.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

22@+ >?

The Mail and Empire yoints ont that the various bargains to which the Wash- ington commiissionere agreed the most abeurd was that which sold onr sealing rights in the Pacific ocean for thesum of $450,000. (ur sealing industry brings $700,000 worth of business to the const every vear. [t is valued at $14.000,000 tothe people. In eelling it for $455,000 cash the money paid bv the United States was to have gone tothe owuvers of sealing echoorers,and whenthey bad heea paid Can ada was to prohibit seal catching,not in the Sehring Sea, but inthe broad Pacific ocean, by anybody and forever. Wewere to dispose of aright onthe ocean for a paliry sum. It was worse than the Ameri- cen bargain with Spain. Spain was paid $20,000,000 to get out of a possession that wasannisance toher. We wereto be paid $450,000 to surrender a source of profit.
