Mr. Moore said that, speaking personally, there was oothing in exhibitions for him. He had nothing to exhibit. He was more interested in havirg cold storage for butter on the way tomarket. So far asthe Pro- vince ie concerped he thought it is not large enough, and our resources are not sufficient to warrant such exhibitions as are of real value to the farming community asa whole.

was whether the money spent on exhibi- tions could not be better expended on an experimental farm forthe ?rovioce.

—In one of his West Huron spceches Mr. Tarte sneered at the Coneery tive Government of 1871, because in the Washington negotiations of that vear Can- ada was represented by only one man. Fut, as is pointed out by the Gazette, that ore man, however, brought back with him :
1, An agreement for the free adm‘s:ion into United States markets of Canadian sea fish and fish oil
2. An agreement by which a sum of $5,500,000 was paid for ten years’ ure of the Atlantic fisheries by United States fi h ermen.
3. Ana agreement by which Canadians in Canadian vessels may reach the Yukon country by the Yukon, Stikine and Porcu- pine rivere,
4. An agreement for the transit in bond of Canadian goods throvgh the United States without paying duty, which agree- ment is still operative.
5. An agreement for delimitating the boundary between Vancouver Island and Washington.

Gezette says : The Government has, barely held its own. It has not gained anything. Iu 1891 the late M. C. Cameron had 379 majoriiy, and in 1896 xe was elected by a plurality of 317, there being three candidates in the

Mr. Mc Kay agreed very closely with Mr Moore. He had watched the matter very carefully, and his op‘nion was that ¢xi- bitions were not much good to the genersl farmer. Hedi not take any stcex in tho-e that farm on paper. He preferred practicetotheory. He thought that ex- hibi-ions had cost the country altogether too much. Everything sbould be seif- sustaining. If thething doesn’t pay, get out of itus quickly as possible.
Mr. Richard Eliio't believed exhibitions,
if properly managed, tobe a good thing
for the country. Bat he believed that the exhibitions of the o'dtime gave greater eatisfaction tothe people of the country thao those of recent years. For one thing the entrance fee was outrageous. Farmers in the Royalty of Charl t:etown, als>, took most of the prizes. Besides, the exbibi- tions were mixed up with trotting races. The people can’t take in exhibitions and raceS ai the aane time,
Mr. Lemont thought it very proper for the Premier to try and find out the feelings of the people with regard to exhibitions. He believed that exhibitions were a genera! benefit to the country. The test stock from al] parts of the Is!and was gathered tceether at them, and farmers had a chance to select the best animals. He thought that to abolish exhibitions would be s retrograde step. If however the Stock Farm were changed into an experi~ mental farm we might do without exhibi- tions. He believed that the Government should make an arrangement to this end. Experimental ferms abroad are of very l.ttle use to this provinee because of the difference of our scil andclimate. At tke same time fhe was rather in favor of ex- hibitions, Our products are as fine as those of any other country and our farmers should by competition be encouraged to excel.
Mr. W. L. Cotton, on being call -d upon, said that he had no desire to speak if any farmer there present desired to express his views. He tbought that the question should be leoked at from a Provincial point of view—not from the individual pointor view. This Island has been cal- led a“mullion acre farm,” and it was cere tain that throughout ita whole extent agricultural proiucts eculd be Lrought to perfection. For that reason our farmers should be encouraged to do their beet. The old country was resoriedto by farmers and stockraisers from all parts of the world, aod bigh prices were paid there for animals and seeds of the best kinds. There is no reason why Prince Edward Island shuuld net Le a centre for steck of the best breeds, ner why farmers in the States and throughous Canada rhould not come here for fine enimals. Exhibitions tended towards perfection in grading, and therefore ‘he was in favor of

exhibitions. Of course be could only epeak
in a general way. Mr. Moore then ‘reenmed his address,

He said that the breeders of fine stock, ex- hibiting in Charlottetown, should be con tent with the honor ofreeeiving a red of blue ribbon, and should not desire moDey prizes from the country, because they made movey by the sale of their animals at the exhibitions. He then proceeded to diecues further the question of mau- taining the fertility of the eoil.
Votes of thanks were yiven to Premier Farquharson, Mr. Moore, and the Chair- man, Mr. James Elliot, and the meeting adjourned.
