Hon. Mr Loan: I am glad to ass that report presented. but as to the capibility at that term to support a large stock. Iuntieretand that a mat .part of the hay and other tccd required for the stock now on the ittrm. has to be purchased. I have not much faith in the working of that farm. for it is one of those experi- ments which will cost the country a great deal of money. There was a large imsqt'latlou of stock for that farm. but I on erstand it has been very mate- rially reduced. particularly sheep. It is only a portion of the stock raised on that farm that will be much lmucdl to the {an more. A great many farmers in the country are» lug improved breeds of pigs from'ot er sources. The report re- _ minds us that 360 or Bill horses were ex‘ ported last year; well.” if that exports- tion has ranked from tlto Stool: Farm. it is certainly a good thing. It was a great pity the. ‘former arrangement. res- pecting l at farm.was broken up. and the stock sold; if that had not been done. the term would now be in a better con-- dition. and would probably support all the stock that is upon it; but now. the lease will have almost expired before the form can be brought to a proper state of cultivation.

Still. it is only fair that a proper distributign. of the stock should be made. I do not loolt upon the institution as a loss‘to the Colony. The amount appropriated last yearwasflloo. and when a person in- vests money and it returns a reasonable amount of interest. he considere'thet he is doing well. Just so it is witlt an un- dertaking of this kind. The receipts on account of the term last year were £120. but I tla not look at the more money value according to what is expended. but at the good that doing through the country. for. though. only a small amount of stock is distributed. still. I think. that in course of tints. the improvement will be my perceptible. and good re- turns will be made for the money ex- pended. It is well ltnown that agricul- ture is the main interest of the Colony. and it should be fostered and encouraged in ever possible way. While we have the rigtt of routing the farm at £100 a year. I do not third: the managers would be justified in aalting for funds to pur- chase it. for the rent. would only be about two and a quarter per cent. of the purchase money. At the some time. I think the price set upon the farm is moderate. for land was sold in that neighborhoodm short time ago, for £50 an acrt‘. while this would only be about £20. Therefore. I do not tbioit there will be any dillicully in getting funds to putt-bean if it is thought proper to dose.

I hope the Commissioners will not lose sight of that next esteem. and that a field will be set apart for that purpose.

lion. Mr. Loam it is a great pity it was not all uletetl in the lease that we should have the right to purchase the farm at any time. As it is, on are bound to keep it on rent for term years. and, as his honor from the first district of Qucort‘s County. Shir. nest). says. they are getting the farm n a good state of cultivation; if. at the end of that time. there should be a majority in the House of Assembly opposed to purchasing. the whole of our improvements will be lost. or only the cam-r of the property will re» ecive the bent-lit of them. it is a qucslioa "you my mind \Vltt-lllt't' the majoritv of the 1 outs of Assembly would be willing to give £4.50!) for that property.

A young bull sold for’ no 10s.. and two very small pigs sold for about 20-. each. which.

lion. Mr. Benn: While the term is. in the bands of the Governmentdhe Com- missioners will feel it to be their duty to do all they can to bring, it rule it good state of cultivation as soon as possible. When the loan was taltcn the farm was in a much worse condition than was an- tici sled. The Commissioners have been tun int: great exertions to improve it. and they have succeeded to some extent. I have no fear but the farm can be made to reimburse the country for all that has

in that way: if I thought there was. I would feel it to be my duty to use myi influence to withhold any further grant; from thut. farm. l

IIon. Mr. Sam: Ili- lttnor from Bari Fortttue.(Mt-. Dtngwcll.)lhinks that stock g should be sent to dillerenl. parts of the! country. but when the quantity of steel: distributed through tho country is. to bedividcd into three parts. one for each county. it appears very small. My

Thai quantity of stock imported at that time; was four horses. seven head of cattle. twouty-thvss sheep and three pigs. and I believe that in another year we will be able to circulate as much stock through the country—perhaps not so many horses. but a greater. number-oi sheep and pigs— at a cost of £500. or one-third of what it would coetgto import them. and that num- ber of stock can probably be circulated during each of the three succeeding years. that is. to the end ol the present lease. The price at which the farm can he pur- chasod‘appaare rother'hipb. but it must be remontbercd.thnt we do not now rent the whole farm. fhongh the right of pur- chase includes the whole. The briclt building. which is let at a very handsome rent. wiii‘be sold with the term. I thinle ir‘ahould. be purchased when the loasn'i expires. and I do not think there will be any cause to regret it. for. by that time it will be in a good state of cultivation. and will‘probebly raise flay-[enough to feed the stock that is raised upon it. The institution is only just. now getting into working order. v With the stock of sheep we were rather unfortunate. There were some very fine looking ewes. which did not. prove guild breeders. and others flied away and died. Ilowevet.

It would he nonsense to undertake aytlting of that ltiodfatni themm,‘ proper trial was given to wit. to litttp the bands of the managers removing the grant. I not very well eased with the report of the gentlemen e ted to manage that term. and. if it not going ‘too far. I would suggest that in sending stock to the country it shonldbeeent to diderent localities. for I consider it unfair to send it always to ttm’eeate place.

drawn together. and better prices would be obtained. Thou rt reduction of :0 or‘ 25 per cent. might be made upon what would be purchased to go to Prince and King’s Counties. This is my individual opinion. and I think it would be the most advantageous course to pursue. The ex- pcnse of sending stoclr to distant parts of the country is very great. It must be very gratifying to every person who takes on interest in tlto prosperity of the coun- try. to see so many parties coming from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to this island to purchase stock—not cattle for breeding. but for slaughtering. Nearly 1.000 head woto scnt atvny last year. If we could circulate a few of the Doc» ham brood through the country. it would be an advantage, as they are more suit: able and more profitable for teeding. The quantity of bay raised in the country is increasing very fast on account of the extensive application of mnssebmnd. and consequently there will be a creator quan- tity of steel: kept. Iam pleased to see this trade in cattle gruwiuq up. for I think it will be a greater advantage to the country than lobe exporting such a quantity of grain and root crops.

“on. Mr. Ramona: As regards the t sttibntleo or slot-it. l act-co pretty merit filth lth honor who has just spoken. for white ltle divided a [root deal of the attrac- tion to the sales is taltcu away. In Great [little tbs eyelets of annual sales of stock is practisctl. and it is found that the larger the neatlty od'creti. tbehigher are the prices ultttllitctl. Those sales have become quite notorious in Great Britain. I therefore consider his honor's stt vtion a good one. and perhaps it would a so be quite proper to mate a reduction in the prices of stock 'hlsb would to Prince and King'- mantles. or at crates. let them be fIPllvtin ed in thorn counties or of cost. One or two other thfitgv might. be considered la connection with that form.
