TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES AND RATES.

: 4 . ; ’ “vr (R : ) i) ryin is issociation Con }

vent wn, r. Sth, 1900, by Mr. F. G. Bovyer.)

Mr PrREsIDENTr,—On receiving an invitation from your capable secretary to take part in V uur annual meeting | at first decided that | could say noth ing that would be instructive or usefu to an assemblage of experienced milk

producers and manufacturers. Bu after thinking about it, I concluded that there were few or no farmers in this province solely engaged in dairy ing, with no other object than ‘ne pr» duction of milk. In fact, the dairy farmer of Prince Edward Island usual ly works in much the same lines as the milk producers of Great Britian, milk production being the primary object, with fat cattle, sheep, pigs and horses thrown in as secondary money makers I think the day is very far distant when the farmers of this province wil adopt the special dairy practice of keeping milk cows as long as they are useful for that purpose, and then bury- ing her as is done by milk farmers in some other parts of America, and is urged as the most profitable course by advocates of the special purpose milk cow, but is the reverse of Scotch or English management where every calf and every old milk cow is turned into cash.

Island dairymen, then, being owners and producers of live stock of all sorts, and also, to a limited extent, cf coarser farm produce, such as grains and veg- etabies, and the very valuable article, wool, it follows that the transportation of this varied produce to the important cities on the Canadian shores of the Atlantic, such as Halifax, St. John, and the city. of still great promise, Sydney, not forgetting consuming pop-

ulations on the other side of the “pond,” is of material interest: Some may say, “Oh, we need not bother ourselves about the

transportation of our products ; that is the business of the cattle or horse buyer or the produce merchant.” Well let me tell you if you wait

TILL THE CATTLE DEALER

or produce merchant takes a hand in getting better rates and accommoda- tion for your produce, be it alive or dead, you will wait until “ Doomsday.” For when one of these men bargains with you for your property he figures off all the costs, dangers, loss of time and uncertainties with a large percent- age added. So the farmer pays it all, and more than all. Besides the vari- ous hindrances which exist are the means of keeping the best class of buyers of live stock from visiting our shores.

let us now consider the present | conditions of the facilities and charges ’ for

TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK. At Charlottetown there is no provision for any sort of animals on arrival, nor is there any proper connection between the railroad and steamer. The ship- per by rail from stations on the P. E. I. railway, 1s expected to take charge of )his animals at the Charlottetown sta- tion and get them into private stables until the steamer is ready for them, and this means much expense for stabling. help to drive or lead, etc. On arrival at Pictou, N. S., if a cattle car is on hand when the steamer gets to the wharf, the provision for loading the stock into the car is perfect, just such as every wharf on P. E. Island should have ; if no cattle car is ready at Pic- tou the unfortunate cattle or horse dealer has again to appeal to some private stable for protection.

At Point du Chene, which is prob- ably the most important live stock shipping staticn on the Intercolonial Railway east of Levis, the wharf pro- vision for transfer of stock from steam- er to car is as bad as it well can be. No part of Europe or America at an important live stock shipping station has so poor accommodation or rather no accommodation at all. It is a great lumber shipping dock with every need- ed facility for that business and none whatever for live stock. It isa

DISGRACE

to the Intercolonial railway and forms a portion of the robbery system to which the live stock breeders of our province have too long been a prey. That wharf is half a mile long. No cattle pens are on or near it.

It will make no difference who grumbles or who kicks, Georgetown has for many years back and is des- tined to be permanently in the future the winter port at which all our pro- duce, live-stock included, finds its way to the outside world. Here again we find the same malevolent disregard for the interests of Prince Edward Island live stock breeders on the part of the Minister of Railways.

shed to the deck of the winter steam ship. The car loaded with the stock could then be run down back of the shed and the animals transferred from car to boat in precisely the same fash- ion as at Pictou, N.S. But that is not tne way THE MINISTER OF RAILWAVS wants to accommodate Island live ck breeders. No cattle pen ext t Georgetown. Although the stock is ,lied for the steamer the car is run 110 the railway yard three quarters of mule from the boat. The man in harge is ordered to take off his cattle, orses and sheen, de is then forced » hunt up help to get his property in sue stable, and when the boat is -ady he must repeat the process. retting his animals down the railroad hart is a job few want to do, as shunting engine and cars are a con- tant menace to man and beast. Fre- jueaty animels break away and more yuble is the result.

Next let us see if a minister who zives our stock men such treatment in tacilities, is any more kindly disposed when he gets down to the business of fixing freight rates. It will be found on examination that it costs as much to get a single animal or a car load from any station on the P. E. Island Railway such as Souris, Mount Stewart or Alberton, to Halifax, St. John or Sydney, distant less than 200 miles, as the same load will cost if brought from Toronto or Guelph, distant over 1200 miles, with unavoidable extra ex- pense to the Island shipper, who must send an attendant, while the carload from Ontario can come without one, the railroad managers feeding and watering the stock.

This province is favored with an august body known as the Charlotte- town Board of Trade, which is ready to look sharply after the interests of that city at the expense of other portions of the province in such matters as a capable and experienced winter steam- ship commander, or of the opinion of first-class civil engineers in regard to bridge location. But when it comes to getting fair play for Island farmers against favored shareholders in the Steam Navigation Company, they simply are zo¢ in it. There are cattle dealers in Charlottetown who actually do not know that they are required to pay three separate short haul rates on shipments of stock from Charlottetown to Halifax via Georgetown, and not one properly adjusted long haul through rate.

The steamship ferry between this province and the Intercolonial railway station is the great sinner in this mat- ter both summer and winter. It allows neither reduced rates for long distance hauls: nor carload ratesj] on stock; only 4single animal charge at an out- rageously figure for the forty miles of transfer. The Steam Navigation Company, with its anteduluvian cattle rates and some other objectionable old fogy features, is deliberately ‘killing the goose that lays the golden egg,” for give us farmers of Prinee Edward Island equal long haul rates and such decent accommodation as farmers in other parts of Canada enjoy and our exports of live stock would expand and increase in the same ratio as the dairy business has done.

steamer provided with second-class cold storage, during the summer only, such aS we have had in the past. Witness the fate of the trial shipment of fat poultry last tall. This phase of the ocean steamship question deserves a little consideration from our farmers, associated as it is with our need for fair and reasonable freight rates and a mmodation over the Northumber- land straits ferry and government rail- ways to the ocean ports. All other parts of Canada are spiendidly served by the steamships from Halifax and St. John; then give us fair play and we will be better off than witha second rate ocean steamer at rare intervals from Charlottetowe, In demanding a combined long haul rate over the Island road the government subsidized Northumberland ferry and the Inter- colonial railway. We only ask for the fullfillment of the terms of confedera- tion which evidently means that we should receive equal treatment in every way with other parts of Canada.

ALMOST A MIRADLE.

Strange Oase of Kidney Disease Reported at Smith'’sF alls.

Smira’s Fxiis, March 19.—QOne of the mest remarkable cares ever performed by Dodd’s Kidney Pills was that of Mre. George Barnes, of this town. Mra. Baraes was afflicted with Female Weakness and Urinal Troable resulting from kidney disease. The disease had also a serious tffeeton her senses of sight and hearing, for at times Mrs. Barnes would be exceed. ingly deaf and short-sighted.

Mrs. Barnes givesan account of her case for publication: ‘‘I have consulted a doctor,” she writes, “who gave me medi- cine that seemed to make me worse at times, I .was teld of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and I got one box. I have used part of the box and aim completely cured, and strangé to say both my hearing and eyesight aré tow unaffected.”

Tt is always better io be right than to be inconsistent.

The sprinkling of railway lines with oil is valuable in that rain does not pene- trate the oi'ed outer crust, and that vege- tation alongthe lines of the rails is des- troyed.
