pay for it, no one engaged in agriculture

should hesitate in sending iio uame for- ward to Dr, Saunders, Experimental Farms, Ottawa—ivo wow a note will go

The report before us contains an exhaust _ ive account of the work done in the difter- ent departments at Ottawa, and also at Brandon and Nappan. The director at O:tawa, Dr. Saunders, gives in detail an account of the year’s experiments, every one of which will make pleasant, as well az ueeful, reading for farmers.

But the Direc~ tor has well discharged the duty of reporier for this important official. Professor

Robertson is a freeslance as Dairy Commis- | sioner, issuing a report of his own and Catting his connection with the Experi-« mental Farms Report. Prof. Macoun, has taken up Prof. Craig’s work, and his re- port is of special interest. Professor Shutt bas a particularly valuable report oa soile, manures, well-water, etc, tested | chemically in 1898. Perhaps the moat interesting report of al! is that of Profes- sor Fletcher, Entomologist and Botantist. All the enemies of the farmer and garden~ erinthe past year are] spoken of, and means devised for destroying them. Re- ports are included from all parts of the country as to the crops and their enemies, —weeds and insects and fungus pestis. For this Province Professor Fletcher depends much for his information§ on Rev. Fatker Burke, who finds time to interest himeelf io agricultural studies and writes with suprising familiarity on all the new phases of farming. Mr. Edward Wyatt is also quoted entensively.@ The poultry manag- er’s report is also full and interesting this year and illustrated copiously,as are indeed, al] the reports. '

No attempt could be made to give our | readers even a brief rezume of the volume , before ue, which contains 450 pages ; and | this is not at all necessary, since it can be had, as we have said, for the asking end is. due to every farmer inthe land. While. some there are who complain of the cost ofthe experimeatal farms and contend that we get little real value out of them, we are glad to again affirm our appreciation of the work which they initiated and ere. carrying out for the betterment of the all- , important indusiry of We | hope that their motto will still be, se in | the past, “upward and onward.”

Miners and prospectors arriving at Vic- toria from Dawson City on Aug. Ist told! the Coloniet that upto the time they left Daweon'the Dominion government had col~ lected royalty on gold yalued at $21 800,000 ; The output next year is expected, they aay, ; to be much more, though the heavy roy- | alty, which Mr Sifton refuses to reduce, bas greatly retarded operations and check- | ed the developmert of that region. An Ontario man in the party declared that there was still much crookedness in offix cia] quarters, and gave an instance of the defrauding of awidow, which he said he was prepared to prove,

THE PRICE OF CHEESE

The Sussex, N. B., Record, of recent date says: —

“Tt must be a very unpleasant coneider- ation forthe patrons of cheese tactories, as well as all otbers interested in the pro- duction of New Bruoswick made cheese, to realize that buyers of cheese the pres- eut season were instructed to pay three- fourths of a cent a pound less for cheese made in this province than that manufac - turedin P. E. Island. There is a cause for such a condition of matters, and every person having the welfare of the country at heart should instantly insist on an ex~ amination of the cause or causes that have brought about such a humiliation.”

It there New Brunswick, there is cause for satis~

is cause for humiliation in faction in this province. Even half a cent # pound on the P. E. Island output of cheese for this year will amount to close upon $25,000—a nice little eum for the snug litle Island.

The chief cause of the higher price paid for P. E. Island cheese is uvdoubtedly

the superior care and skill of the Prince Edward Island cheese- makers; and our superiority in these

points is due largely to the unceasing labor and vigilance of Mr. Willon during the time that he was superintendent for the Conservative goveroment. The Govern- ment of Canada spent, under the direction acd management of Professor Robertson, Dairy Commissioner, a good dea! more money in New Brunswick on account of the dairy industry than was spent io P. E. Island. A number of experte were em-

| played,—including Protessor Hart, who

is now superintendent of the dairy school at King-ton ; and moreover the Provincial government boncsed the industry to the exteutof $400 for every factory established and has a Commis- esioner of Agriculture and three dairy ex- perts or super‘ntendents. But it is evident that none of the gentlemen employed worked among the factories and the people as Mr. Dillon did inthis province. Cer-

| tainly P. E, Island owes much to Mr.

Dilion, and certainly it pars to be careful and skilful in the making of cheese. We hope thatthe very utmost care wil! be exercised inthe future by everv factory~ man and dairy patronin P. E. Island,

THE ATTORNEY-GENERALSHIP

Tue Gvarpiay, a few days ago outlined a Liberal vlau of campaign in respect to the coming bye-election,—an inherent part of which was misrepresentation of the Con, srvatives in the Legislature;— and ioday we havetbe followiog about the appoints

'mentto the vacant office of Attorney-Gen-

eral,—evidently iaspired by some one in close touch with the License government :

“Among the names canvassed are of course those of the two remaining lawy. ers of the Liberal party in the House, Messrs Peters and McKiscnon with chanc- lo case of bis seleciionitis hinted that he might seek re-election in Fort Augusius District rather than in his present eeat, thus avoid- ing compl cations with Mr. McLaugblin. Snould Mr. McKinnoa be selected he wou'd so doubt stand for his present seat. The report once current that Stipendiary Haszard might accept the vacaat portfolio aud seek election in Belfast is not just now so much tothe front. There are other reports. Meanwhile the Premier seems to be taking things Jeisurely and farmers may have time to gather their in crops before being troubled with any more bye- elections.”

We have no doubt that this is a pretty truthful statementof the various views and ideas of those who compuse the Liberal circle. Still, we incline to the opinion that the Conservatives of Belfast had better be moving a liitle as soon as the hay crop has been fully secured.

The moving pictures for the Passion

Play this evening are said to be the best ever produced.

THE BINDER TWINE JOB.

A correspondent asks for proof of the statement that the Government made binder twine in the penitentaries and sold it to ite friends at four *nd a half cente perpound. The procf is to be found in the Hansard of this year, page 1,873. There Mr. Tayior is reported as asking the fol-~ lowing question :

“To whom, and at what price, was the

bindertwine manufactured at the Kinges- ton pevitentiary between the firet day of

July, 1897, and the 30ih June, 1898, sold? | Were tenders ca/led for, and in what pa |} pers were they advertised ?”

| The reply was given by Sir W:lfrid Lau~ rier thus:

“To H. N. Bate & Sone, O:tawa, at the following prices: “Sisal, $4,15 per cwt ; beaver, $4.45 percwt.; maple leaf, $4 95 per cw.

“Tenders were called for by eircular addressed to the leading dealers through- out the Dominion.”

It will be noted that theaverage price was $4.50 per cwt , or four and a-balf cents per pound. Mr. Bate,of H. N. Bate & Co., in a publiehed interview, confirms this. He eays: “* We got the coniract in March, 1898, at an average of alout $4.50.” It appears that Bate & Co. were asked on February 19, 1898, to make an offer for the Government binder twine. On Februe ary 28, the firm, according to a return brought dow.a, made its offer at the prices quoted. After this, name!y,on March 5, the Government issued a private circular, inviting sealed tenders for the twine to be sent in. The circular was not gener~- ally distributed among dealers, but was sent to certain favoured parties. Mr. Bate, who attended the Libera] convention of 1893, anc hung out a banner bearing the device“ Laurier expects every man to do his duty,” was one. Mr. Wood, M. P., Hamilton, was another. Mr. Hobbs, ex-M. P. P., of London, was a third. Mr. Jobo Hallam, a good party man in Toronto, was the next. Mr. Mooeres, of Kingston, a pro- minent politician, Mr. Ashdown, of Winni~ peg, who ran in the lact election, and the de. feated candidate in Marquette, were amcng the otbers. But Bate and Co. had been asked to tender in advance, and to them, at four and a half cents aa pound, on an average, the twine was sold. Every far- mer knows what price he paid. In par- liament it was stated that the retail price last year varied from 124 to 16 cents per pound, and averaged 13 cents. The cootrecter did not get the entire dif- ference, forthere was a profit of a cent a pound to the retailer. But eight cents a pound was, as the Mai] and Empire re- marks, “a good rake off.” Anvbody can see that if the Government, instead of selling eecretly toa favourite, who wanted every man todo his duty for Laurier, had sold freely to dealers, the farmers would have got their twine without having to pay the middleman and ata munch lower figure than they were charged.

—

Tur expectation that Parliament would rise on Wednesday or Thureday has not

been \realized. The end is not yet. There‘ are four things for which the session of 1899 will be held re-

markable: (!) its length, (2) its great volume of talk, (3) the small and insigni~ ficant reeult—except in respect to (4) the immense, unprecedented amount of public money to be expended. The votes of the session to date include :—

THE JAIL SQUARE--- A NUISANCE. A correspondent in to-day’s Examtver calls attention to the condition of Jail Square, in rezard io which it is certainly true, “somethirg should be done.” It isa disgrace to Charlottetown. But is not the only nuisance that the citizens of that portion of the town have to put up with, The abominable stench from a covered drain on Richmond Street west, and the condition of the sidewalk that forms the covering thereof, indicate either that the the residents thereabouts are a long-suffer-~ ing and patiert clase, or that they find it impossible to stirup the Board of Health or the City Surveyor to @ proper recogni- tion of their duties.
