LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Letter from Hon. D. Ferguson.

Sir,—My attention has been called to a letter in the Putrict of arecent issue on stock matters generally, andin disparagement of the Galloway breed of cattle in particular. Ths motives which prompted the}publication this effusion are far from creditable, either te the editor or his correspondent. They are not creditable to the ed:tor, because iu giving an account at the St. Andrew’s dinner, iu the fall of 1884, of his visit to Scotand, the Hon. D. Laird spoke in the highest terms of the Galloways. He pronounced the specimens of this breed which came under his observation in Scotland, as the — : finest beefers he had ever seen. Now, The Distress in Ireland.

I find no fault with the eulogism he _pro- nounces on the Shorthorns and Ayrshires. My herd cent.ins a larger number of animals, and more prize takers of these breeds, than any other private herd in the province. I have no intention of abandon- ing the breeding of Shorthorns or Ayr-

Lonvon, Jan. 14.— The Earl of Carnar- von declares that Parliament will not help to relieve the dreadful distress prevailing among the inhabitants of Achil and Eagle Island. Lord Carnarvon adds that his sola reliance for affording relief to the starving people is the limited means of sending the unfortunates to the workhouse. He, how- ever, hepes that private contributions for the relief of the sufferers will enable the T-| poor people to remain in their homes in- shires. They have done a noble work in| giead of being compelled to seek shelter in improving our stock, and there is still®|their already much overcrowded alms- wide field of usefulness before them.

That they are destined to lead where all other beefers fail, I think there is no doubt.”

It is alleged that the pure-bred (Gallo- ways do not figure largely as prize- winners at the Fat Cattle Shows of Great Britain. The Rev. John Gillespie, M. A., of Dum- fries, gives the reason for this in a letter to the North British Agricuwlturist of March, 4 1883. He says: ‘‘These animals have all along been so keenly sought after for cross- ing purposes that the best males in the leading herds have been kept as bulls, and disposed of at more remunerative rates than could be obtained for them by feeding them for the fat markets. In disposing of the question as to the comparative merits of Polled Angus or Aberdeen cattle in coming to early maturity, I will act on the prin- | ciple that a pound of fact is worth a whole bushel of theory. With the viow of en- | couraging and testing early maturity, a new class was added to the Prize List of | the Smithfield shows at Christmas, 1882,

against the evictions io Ireland and in the Highlands.

Lonvon, Jan. 1€.—The Daily News says that the Irish leader will probably support Gladstone through thick and thin.

Lonpow, Jan. 16.—It is stated on good awihoriiy that Gladstone and his colleagues have become reconciled; that Earls Spencer and Greugille, Earl of Derby, Marquis of Hartingtos and Sir Wm. Harcourt have all given their aseent to the course of tactics suggested by Gledstone, and that the ex- Premier will take the first chance to over- throw the Conservative government.

Lonxpon, Jan. 15.—Arehbishop Walsh in his address at Dubiin yesterday, said that Parnell hoped to oblein a seitlement of the Irish question from Gladstone. The speak- er trusted that the hope would be realized and that the sad result would not be witnessed of desperate men, despairing of securing freedom by constitutional means, having rescurces to dyn*mite and the dagger of the assassin.

If the Patriot correspondent had a little better acquaintance with stock matters on the Island he would have taken up some other theme than disparagement of the Galloways. This breed of cattle was brought here long years ago by the Royal Agricultuual Society—Judge Peters, the late Charles Haszard, Esy., of Bellevue, the late James Miller, E-q., of Lot 34, and i the late Mr. Roger Harper, of the same Township, amongst others, owned and bred them. Their fame as beefers has been handed down for more than a generation lam convinced that they are just the cattle for our common farmers and for our climate, Their record in the prize ring, as for example, that of the Buli Harden (1151) who took fifteen first prizes, besides gold medals and champion eups in contests open to Polled Angus’ and Galloways— shows what the breed is capable of when well cared for, while Mr. MoQombie's teetimony, as given in his work on Cattle and Catile Breeders, to their hardiness and foraging qualities needs no commenti from me. He eaye:

“The Galloway has undoubtedly many great qualifications, Oapiain Kennedy's cattle (a large lot of Galloways, as he had explained, which he had purchased for many years) always psid me; they were grazed on 8 100 acre park of poor land, so pocr indeed that our Aberdcen’s (Poiled Angus’) could not subsist upon it.”

Regarding his criticisms of the Stock Farm and the avimals there, I wiil simply say that the Patrwt correspondert displays his imperiect knowledge of the facts ia

mand of the military forees there.
