Practical Hints and Suggestions.

PROVINCIAL EXPERIMENTAL STATION,

After the reading of the minutes of Inst meeting by the secretary, Mr. H. A. Ster- art, and some preliminary taik,—

Hon. Davip Lairp referred to the reso- lution favoring an Experimental Farm Station for this Proyinee, and said that it would, in his opinion, help the Govern- jinent to a right decision of the matter if | the farmers present could afford some in formation as to the probable number of farmers’ sons who would go to the Experi- mental station for the purpose of receiving instruction in the theory as well as the practice of scientific farming. The Agri- cultural professor in Prince of Wales Col- | lege wae an eXcellent idea of the late Gov- ernmen , and it is being worked out by the | present Administration. He believed that lw gre:t deal of good ia being done by this But the pupils-teachers, who are now, for the most part, those who receive agricultural lessons at the Collega, do not intend to become farmers. lt would be well if this Provinces could follow in the

| path of Ontario, and the Government

year,

would probably enter upon that pati. if assured that young men froin the country would attend the proposed Experimenta! Farm Station. To compete successfully with the farmers of the West, our farmers must be fully informed concerning the improvements whieh are being made, and know how to apply them.

Proressok Harcourt said, ia reply tos question, that the Agricultural College ot UOatario was established in 1876, and tha the farmers’ sons attending it were in the proportion of one to six thousand of the population. Fees are charged those who live in the Province at the rate of $20 a and those who lived outsie the Pro vince at the rate of $100 for the first year and $50 for the second year. Board costs $2 20 a reek ; but to mset it students are allowed from six to ten cents per hour for

| the time they actually work upon the farm.

‘in all the work which goes forward.

Those who are diligent often earn, in this

‘way, within $30 to $50 of the amount they

have tojpay. There are now about eighty- eight farmer students attending the insu- tution at Guelph, and they are divided into gangs, and, in turos, take part practically The college is better patron:zad now than it has» been. The fact that $30.000 have been ex- pended in putting up new buildings during the past year, may be taken as evidence that its usefulness is being more and more appreeiated by the government and people of Ontario. The chief usefulness of the farm lies in the practical illustration and example it affords to farmera throughout Ontario. Wiitram Latrp, New Glasgow, said that if an experimental farm were worked in connection with Prince of Wales College. he thought it would probably be patronized. Young men from the country would gv to see the experiments carried on, and to ob- serve the results, In this way they, and through them the Province at large, would be benefited, and the youth of the Province would be encouraged to stay at home. James Ramsay, Hamilton, thought that the farmers should, as much as possible, strengthen the hands oj the Government in respect to the proposed Expsrimental Farm.

Witiram McNert Simpson, Hamilton, said that he beheved the Stock Farm, under existing conditions, has ceased to be a benefit. The Experimental Farm Sta- tion at Nappan is not of great advantaye to the people of this Province, owing to differ- ences of soil and climate. There are a great many experiments which private par- sons cannot afford to make, but which would promote agriculture if made at the cost of the Government. The experiment- al stations in the United States—he referred particularly to that of Connecticut—have been of great value to the people. What we need is more light.

THE DAIRY,

Mr. Joun C. Moore, of Crapaud, then read an essay on dairyiag in this Province, of which the following is a summary :

My object in writing this paper is to con- sider the chief cause of the want among farmers of a balance to their credit at their bankers, and also to indicate the source whence they can obtain help. It is related of a pious minister in Scotland, who in a time of great droughc, was walking over the parched land of his parish in com- pany with the farmers, and stepping in fiell atter field and praying for rain upon the famished crops, that when he came to a field which bore extraordinary evidence of poverty, instead of praying for rain there- on, he merely remarked, ** this field needs manure.” Well let us see where we are. What are our fixed conditions? What is our geographical position, our geological formation, and our climate? Climate settles the question what crops can be grown; soil, the quality of the crops grown; geographical position shows where our natural market is, while trade and navigation returns, tariffs and market re- ports tell rs where to gell and what is sale- able. Now, to come home right to this locality,—the first article of export was timber. The land is chiefly a sandy loam, with an abundance of erys:al water. With- out heavy manuring it produces a goodly amount ot grass, rich in fat-producing pro-

perties, and calculated to make butter of a high melting pvint, one of the first re- quisites in that article for shipping. Our vroXimity to the lumber woods of New Brunswick and the woods and mines of Nova Scotia have induced us to grow oats

roes for that eoun'ry until the fertility of he virgin soil is well nigh exhausted, and many of our farmers are disheartened. Comparatively little hay is grown, it being generally looked upon as an absolute waste to feed it to the cows. Most farmers wan’ ** 4 genertl purpose horse,” and **a general purp»se cow,” two animals for which I have no use. To my mind a general pur pose waggon, which would serve fora uapure cart and a holiday rig would be just as compitible with reason and common seuse. Steam power along with electricity is fast taking the place of the draft and general purpose horse; but the well-devel

ped road horse is still in demand and likely to be, Horse rearing however, has many drawbicks. To commence with

mly about 50 per cent. of mares drop live foala, and like children, many of the good ones die young. And it would ba a blessing to the country that if some more of them that are kept for stock purposes Were dsad_ too. While [| do not think it advisable to follow the idolatrous laraslites, in making golden calves to worship, when they wanted milk and meat, yet | believe that the salvation of our farms, and financially of ourselves, depends upou the cow, and in her capacity as a dairy cow at that. If a man sells hay,

oats, potatoes, barley, or any other raw pro- duct off his farm, and does not buy as much stable manure, commercial or other fertilizers as will restore the fertility of the land removed by these crops, he is selling so much off the top of his farm, and is leaving himself worse off than if he were selling a piece off its end, and keeping less land to work. Selling 700 bushels of po- catoes is equal to selling one acre of land worth $45 —that is to say, about one-third

of the acreage price of potatoes sold is so much farm suld. Some other produce—

hay, for example, mskes even a worse showing than potatees’ But selling bur- ter, beyond anything elae which is sold off the farm, is selling labor and skill. Oue hundred pounds of butter sold removes anly afew cents’ worth of fertility from che soil. Many people appear to think that buttermaking entails a great addi- ticnal amount ot labor to what furnishing milk to a cheese factory does; but my ex- perience is, that at least two-thirds of the work is done when the cows are miked. Of | course, 1ce must be conveniently stored for

use where av abundance of spring water is

not at hand for cooling the milk to raise the cream | ciunotimagine th st any intelli-

gent person wii! follow the old way of set-

ing muk in shallow pans which more than

double the labor of securing the cream, be-

sides losing ten per cent., thereof. Owing

to the immense natural pastures of the

West we cannvt raise beef at figures that are remunerative. Oatario has gone large-

ily into cheese making on the factory sys-

tem, and now furaishes over one-third 81,539,000 pounds) of the en. ure amount imported into Great Britain. The latter country imports

annually om an average 189 326 690 lbs. of butter, which briogs per lb. twiee ag much as cheese. Little Denmark, with a popula. tion of Jess than 2,000,000, but having a creamery factory system farnishes $15,000,000 worth of butter to the British market annually. The population of P. #. Island, the Gem of the Sea, is about one-fiveenth that of Denmark; and our last year's exporte of every kind all told, did not quite reaeh the value of $1,000,000, or no more than we might obtain for butter alone if we made Denmark our pattern. Much of our butter is inferier, but it is as good as can be expected when made out of milk from cows usually neglected, and placed in unsuitable packages, often leaky. The fanction of milk-giving is maternity. We take advantage of the cow being a mother, and by kiod treatment, comfortable quarters, liberal feeding, etc., get into her good graces and develop her inte a machine for converting farm produce into milk, and eventually into cheese and butter. Milk, low in fat, is more profit+ble for cheese than butter, while milk containing a high per centage of fat is more profitable for butter.

Our native cows, commonly but most offensively, called ‘scrubs,’ are the deseend- ants of good dairy cows, and by the selection of the best, liboral feeding, milking eleven months out of twelve, even by the use of selected native bulls, may be bred up to sur- prise their owners. Thorough-brede are simply the result of careful breeding with one obj-ct in view. The impression of thorough- bred sires is such that the progeny ot ordinary cows by a thoroughbred buil, will be found to be raised considerably more than nalf way up to the quality of the cows of the same breed as the sire, that is always assuming him to be an animal of individual merit. For thorough- bred, or pedigreed, just means certified to prodace animais of his own individaal merir, vr demerit, as the case may be. Many argu- ments might be addressed in support of the proposition that the crossing of a thurough- bred Darham bull upon a herd of dairy cows would be productive of serious loss. There is no more reason for rearing a large dairy cow tor the sake of the extra weight of bef she will ultimately make, than io baying a heavy mowicg machine for the sake of baving old iron to sell.

After reading his essay, Mr. Moore made some general remarks and referred particular- ly to the success of the local exhibition held last fall at Urapaud.

Wiiii4M Lairp said that Mr. Moore de- served a great deal of credit, not only on account of his paper but also 01 aecounc of his practical eff «rts to promvte improve- ment in dairying. Local exhibitions in settlements not conveuient to the towns would, he thought, encourage the people to improve their farming. Such exhibitions, to which farmers could take their stock

would be niore likely to stimulate emula tion than those held in Charlottetowa for four days. Oaeof the difficulties in res- pect to butter making here is that of ob- taining a niaket in the winter season, thoug’ if suceaeding winters are like this one, this ditticulty will exist no longer. Great Britaiu ts ia want of dairy products,

can only hive means of reaching it. Wittram McNaiit Simpson said that

sufficiently, He had, in accordance with the advice of Professor Harcourt, tried the Thoroughbred White Fiint variety with only partial success.

PROFESSOR Hancourt said ~— that Mr Muller, of the St. Peter's Road, raised last year a quantity of Pierce's

Prolific eorn, which wa: sufficiently matured to make excellent feed, ana which had yielded at the rste of nineteen tonsts the acre. He would like to know how far «part Mr, S:mpzon had planted his corn. WILLIAM McCNeILt ~IMrson eaid that he had made some of the rows foar feet apart, and some less; but none of thecorn hed matured sufficiently except that in the outside rows, Proresson Haroover said that corn jshould be planted in r.ws not Jess than three or three and a half feet aport. The apparent } loss of land won!d be more than made up by | the greater weight of the corn. Joux ©. Meore referred to the acarcity of fodder last year and said that it would prove a blessing in disguise if only it would induce farmers to keep better cattle aad to change their system of farming, giveing more attention to the dsi-y He had been ex- perimenting a little for himself and he gave {some of the results otainei in butter from bis cows. RicHarRpD BAaGSALL jr., of cattle Mr. Moore had ? Mr. Mcorr replied that he was using Jerseya aud crossing with his other cattle. He was well satisfied with the results, Proresson Warcourr pointed out the’ feed is of as much importance as breed. The best breeds cannot give good results if not weil fed and cared for, Asarule pure bred sieck requires more attention thaa other cattle. li you treat a Jersey as you treat a common cow you vill net obtain the milk ofa Jersey. If you treat a common cow like a Jersey you will think you have a Jersey. JcpsonN CLARKE asked a queation concern ing the testiag of seeds at the Experimental Farm Proresson Harcovny replied that seed is accurately tested at Octawa, bat that seed sent so far might not, possil'y, reepond te the test as well av if it were tested at home.
