Suggestions to Farmers.

Professor Saunders, of the Experimental Farms, makes several suggestions for the special benefit of farmers in this Province. Referring to his visit to the Island, last summer, he says :

‘* How best to maintain the fertility of the soil, was one of the subjects of discussion at almost every meeting, and the best methods of preserving and storing barn yard manure as to prevent any waste of its fertilizing con- stituents were carefully considered. The seven years’ rotation of crops, which is almost universally followed in Prince Edward Is- land is as follows :—The land is well-manured previous to a root crop, either potatoes or turnips, following which @ crop of wheat is grown, the land at the same time being seed- ed down tw timothy and clover; hay is har- vested for two years, then the lend left in nasture for two years, when it is broken up aud a crop of oats grown on the sod, which completes the rotation. It would appear that manuring once in seven years is not sufficient, and there is good reason to believe the adoption of a five years’ sys'em of rotation in place of seven years course, would greatly improve the crops, and give the farmer bet- ter returns for his money.

As to the means of obtaining manure, Prof. Saunders says :

‘There are not many farmers on the Island who keep suflicient stock to produce msnure in the quantity required to thoroughly fertil- ize their fields, hence substitutes for barnyard mapvre are in mach demand, and artificial fertilizers ara probably more largely used on the Island in proportion to the population than in any other p.rt of the Dominion. In some loc*lities there are large deposits of what is called mussel mud, which contains a con- siderable proportion of ground oyster and other shells, which have been pulverized by the action of water, together with a smail pro- portion of decayed animal matter. A number of samples of this deposit have been analyzed by Mr. F. T. Shutt, chemist of the Experi- mental Farms, who reports that some of them contain a good proportion ef fertil zing ma- teria. Most of them, however, contain a large proportion ot lime, which, when too freely used, unduly stimulates the soil by con- verting the store of plant food laid up there into available form, which is then rapidly taken up by growing plants; and on this ac- count, after realizing a few good crops, the farmer frequently finds that his land is left in a very exhausted condition, and particularly so in the case of light soll. But by using the mussel mud more sparingly in conjuction with swamp muck and barnyard manure, it serves a very usefal purpose. With an increase of dairying on the Island, the ploughing under of ecasional crops of green clever, careful man- agement of barnyard manure, and the judi- cious use of special fertilizers, the condition of the land migit be greatly improved.”

Concerning the means of avoiding or destroying the wheat midge—known here as weevil--Professor Saunders says :—

‘*It has often been a matter of surprise that the wheat-midge should be found invariably common, and more or less destructive, every vear in Prince Edward Island, while in most of the other Provinces its occurrence is only occasional. A portion of this system of rotza- tion has, I believe, much to do with this re- sult. Many of the orange-colored larve of the wheat-midge mature before the grain is harvested, and, escaping, fall to the ground, where they penetrate a short distance below the surface, avd change to chrysalids, in which condition they remain during the winter. By the almost unvi- versal system of seeding down with wheat, the ground, which has _ been occupied by wheat this year, is left undisturbed by the plough the fol owing sea- gon, thus affording this insect the most favor- able opportunity for maturing and appearing in full force to attack the neighboriog fields the next years. Were the wheat followed by

THE DA

Hodgson Memorial Chapel.

Tue interior of the chapel which has lately been erected in connection with St Peter’s Church in this city, to the pious memory of the late beloved Priest Incum- bent, George W. Hodgson, has just been enriched by the erection of an ‘altar and reredos, and by the placing of a picture, which, for design, construction, beauty and general arrangement, surpasses anything yet seen in Canada in connection with the Anglican Church. We refer now to the sanctuary, as being the only interior por- tion of the building yet completed. The roof is a simple Gothic, groined one of two intersecting arches, the ribs springing from columns and capitals in the four angles of the sanctuary at the same height as the sanctvary arch and nave arch rib capitals. The sweep of the roof ceiling arch, being struck from the same cevtreing as the sanctuary arch and nave roof ribs, gives to all the curved lines of the interior roofing an effect of unity and harmony with euch other. The altar is constructed of walnut, richly decorated with carving in the solid wood, having three circular panels in front, which are to be filled with oil paintings. The lower parts of the side sanctuary walls are filled with carved panel- lings, bases and wall strings, and the upper parts with arcaled arch panellings, all in walnut. The reredos completely covers the east wall of the sanctuary above and at the sides of the altar. The lower part is panelled, the central portion above the altar treated with pillars and arches forming panels, in which statues are to be placed The upper portion 1s richly panelled and carved, and a large circular panel about six feet in diameter forms the central feature of the upper portion of the reredos. An exquisite oil painting, by Mr. Robert Harris, R. C. A., occupies the panel, repre- senting Christ’s ascension into heaven, with arms and hands extended in the act of bless- ing. In conception and skill of execution, this noble picture cannot fail to enhance even the already great reputation of the artist. The painting was done in the chapel : hence it agrees with the color and richness of the dark walnut woodwork and red stone, and also in tone with the peculi- arly beautiful dim effect of the light.

The whole work was designed by Mr. W. C. Harris. jr., of this city, and executed by the firm of the brothers Lowe, who are rapidly coming to the front as capable, painstaking and successful contractors. The carving, we believe, is the work of Mr. Walter Doull. We are sure that, whether considered as a whole, or in its separate de- tails, the splendid work hereinbefore described could neither have been enhanced, designed, or executed with greater excel- lence and success anywhere in Europe,— and higher praise than this we cannot

bestow. ¥. &B. dg. ke

The Markets.

Boston, May 8.

The receipts of eggs have fallen off a good deal this week, and with asteady fair de- mand the market has been a shade firmer than last week. At the close good marks of western are firm at 13c. and some extra lots bring 13$c. Extra Michigan firm at 13}c. Eastern -extras continue in short supply and are generally held at l4c._ P. E. Island stock steady at 13c.

The arrivals of putatoes have been lighter than last week, but there has been an ample supply for the wants of the trade,and prices have been ruling generally lower. There are now no quotable sales of fancy Aroos- took Hebrons at over $1, and 90c. has been the top for the past few days for extra Rose, Burbanks, Stars, Prolifics, Dakota Reds, etc., have a steady moderate sale. Western are dull and hardly quotable at over 75c. P. E. Island Chenangoes are in liberal supply at 78 cents. Receipts of foreign magnums have been heavy and the

PARWERS TELEPHONING !

‘ELLO, WILTSHIRE! Hello, Monta- Lt gue! Is that you, Thomas? Yes, that you, Juhn? Yes.

Tom—l1 just got Tak Examiner with Aleck and Kz-a’s little chat, and thought I would like to have a little talk on the telephone with you, I tell you they talked just straight, common sense, and plain as a pike-st« ff; and any farmer, after reading that, who would go and deliberately purchase an imported imple- ment, and thus rob his country of cash, work- men and reputation, as a punishment ought to have no crop and be ashamed to look an honest, hard-working mechanic in the face who pays him cash for his produce.

John—Yes, that’s a fact, Tom. I was wish- iag you here in your old seat in the Heuse that day. I know yor would have backed us up and made the old House ring with that deep-toned voice of yours in behalf of our slighted and down-trodden workmen, and no shining boodle or fear of the consequences would have kept you silent.

Tom—Put your hand there, old boy! You just have me I'd just die of remorse if I'd kept silent or will ever buy another imported impl-ment.

John—Hello! who’s there? It’s me. Whos me? Well, if you must know it’s J——, from Pownal. Well, what's up? i've got it. Got what? The remorse. 1 went to town and those fellows talked smooth and nice and per- suaded me that we belonged to Ontario and the Dominion, and it made no difference as the cash did not go out of ovr country, and stuffed me with a lot of polished and worn-out jargon, and I nibbled at the bait and got caught with the cheap Harrow. 1 just tried it alongside my neighbor Gay's, pena from Lepage, and soon saw my mistake. tell you I felt sick when 1 saw the difference in work and draft ; and when I read Ezra’s and Aleck’s talk the blamed harrow stuck in my throat, and I thought I had the grip (or it had me), till 1 came to telephone tor one of Lepage’s and heard that word ‘“remorse.”” Then 1 knew I hadit. But [I’ve repented and back it goes, even if they keep the money too—see if

Notes and Comments.

—Zion Church, in this city, was, at an early hour this morning, the scene of an in- teresting and auspicious event—the mar- riage of Miss Mutch, daughter of William Mutch, Esq., of Hopeton, and the Rev. Dr. MeLeod, pastor of Thorburn (near New Glasgow) Nova Scotia. We heartily con- gratulate the happy pair. They left by the six o clock train, en route for Buston. Many of the bride’s friends were at the station— early as was the hour—to offer their con- gratulations, bid them good-bye, and wish them a long and happy career through life.

—The Patriot gives currency to the re- port of Mr. L. H. Davies that the Conser-

Information Wanted.

Srr,—Is it true, as stated, that the City Council has refused the Citizens’ Band the free use of the light in their practice room ? If this be so, it is a very small proceeding on the part of the Board. Mr. Galbraith has, up to this spring, had the use of the light, and it seems strange that after all he has done in the way of developing band music in Charlottetown, he should, at this particular time, be treated in such a shabby manner. When asked to play cn the Square thissummer, the chances are that he wili refuse on account of the way he and his band have been treated by the Council. JUSTICE.

Tom—Yes. I guess that harrow will level lots of heads before long. That big fellow, Andrew Mooney from Little Harbor, put one of Lepage’s in Burns’ field with a Frost & Wood and cleaned it out.

John—Yes; Little Harbor is too small for Big Andy since he got Lepage’s Harrows and Seeders. He puts on his seven-mile boots and goes over the country like Jack the Giant Killer, and the imported harrows and seeders hang on the fence before him every time.
