Dairying.
Sin,—Judging from the reports of meetings published from time to time in our local press, our farmers are taking more than an ordinary interest in the dairying industry. The success of the New Perth Cheese Factory last season, under the able management of Mr. Dillon, seems to have aroused our farmers to a sense of their duty. In many Iocal.ties they are begin- ning to realize the fact thatfarming can be made an honorable and profitable calling. They find that the system hitherto followed, of growing oats, potatoes, etc., for ex- portation, tends to rob the soil of much of its fertility, and scarcely yields snfficient returns to defray expenses.
The movement now is towards dairying. The success, however, of this industry will depend, in a great measure, cn the knowledge which our farmers possess re- specting the breeding and proper care of cows. To expect profitable returns in some sections, under existing circumstances, ' is hopeless. Tu ensure success, the pstrons | of the cheese factories should psy particular | attention to the dairy cows. They should organize themselves into farmers’ clubs in their respective school districts, and secure as much information as possib!e in matters relating to their caliing.
Some farmers te!l us that farming does not pay in this province, They say that the credit system, the National Dalien. M. Kinley Biil, and many other circum. stances militate against them. They can discuss the jeading questions of the day intelligently. and can give glowing accounts of successful Islanders in the neighboring Republic; but their ignorance in matters pertaining to the cultivation of the oil and proper care of stock, is quite evident from a general survey of the farm. That so many succeed, under existing circumstances is marvellous. Success in uny calling is p ssible only tc those who give the matter under consideration their undivided attention, and who embrace every available opportunity of perfecting themselves in their respective avocations. That our farmers are negligent in this respect cannct be denied.
Something, then, must be done to stimulate them in this direction. To bring about better results the services of a Professar of Agricule | ture were secured for the Prince of Wales | College.
;
It was hoped that our teachers would, in the near future, be in a position to impart the science of agriculture in the public schools. That very teneficial results will | follow from this move is very questionable. That elementary science should be taught in our echools might be conceded, but that any practical results can be hoped for from the) teaching of agricultural chemistry in our come | mon schools seems to me a delusion.
Our public schools are alresdy taxed to their utmost capacity, and if our Superintendent of | Education would pay a visit toa few of the: common schools in some sections of the Island | he would probally find that the work done | in them is of a very elementary and, in some} instancee, inferior nature. Our teachers may | be learned and industrious, but they cannot | be expected to give more than an elementary | education in the common schools. Admitting’ the competency of our teachers to teach agri- cultural chemistry, how can we expect that children of such an age as attend our common | schools, and who as yet have no fixed purpose | in life, can be made to take a sufficient inter- est in this branch to give it a practical beariag on their farm work. It seems to me that the Professor of Agriculture should be in connec. tion with the Government Farm, where farm- ! ers’ sons who intend follwing tarming as their occupation could attend and acquire that praciical education which is necessary to their success. The lecture room might be in the city, where the students frum the Prince of Wales College might also attend if it would be considered necessary.

Canadian turkeys have obtained a well deserved reputation in Britain, and the Christmas trade is now booming. One Toronto dealer has already shipped over 2,000 to the Mother Country and wants
still more.
British imports for November show a decrease of £4.960,000 compared with the g*me month last year.
Atasale in Philadelphia on Tuesday a letter written by George Washington to Madison in 1792 was sold for $1325 An- other of Wxshington’s well knowu letters brought $650.
During the season of 1892, 6.469.618 bushels of grain from United States ports were trans-shipped at Kingston.
On a recent rainy Sunday two nice-look- ing well-mannered men stationed them- selves in the vestibule of a N. Y English church and relieved all who entered of their umbrellas, saying that the vicar dis-

Obituary.
New Perth has lost its oldest and one of its most respected residents in the person of Mr. Daniel Minchin, who died at his residence a few days ago. The deceased was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, and emi grated to Newfoundland when he was fifteen years of age. After remaining there for six years he came to this Province and settled at New Perth. He was one of the pioneers who, amid the privations and hard ships known on!y to the early settlers, succeeded in clearing the wilderness and causing the unbroken forest to give place to fertile fields and pleasant homesteads Kind and agreeable in his disposition, honest and upright in his nature, he has passed away at the ripe age of 95 years. The esteem with which the deceased was held in the community was amply demon strated by the great number cf persons who followed his remains to the Presbyterian cemetery at Georgetown,

The Duke of Edinburgh will, it is said, soon take up his permanent residence at the Scottish capital, There is an appropriateness about this in more ways than ove.

Lord Rosebery is said to be actively pro- testing against the recent Chinese action, which allows a native line of steamers to carry grain duty free between Shanghai and Tientsin whilst charging duty upon grain in British and foreigh vessels. This is an infringement of the commercial treaty made with the United States a dozen years ago, in which Britain shares through the most favored natien clause.
M. de Lesseps has fallen into a sort of dotage, and fortunately for the once great. Frenchman, is hardly conscious of his sur- roundings. He has not been informed of the prosecution and probably never will be, ag a doctor's certificate will save him from appearing at the trial. It is said, however, that the old man still retains that grace of manner, seductive smile and the chivalrous ways which were supposed to have helped in drawing 16,000 women to invest in the Panama echeme and believe in it to the last.
