The Canada Temperance Act.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—I was pleased to find yesterday, while in your eity, that the Canada ‘fean -

Act is workisg admirably, I sup for the reason that is supported by leading public sentiment, It is certainly not for the want

of this same sentiment that it has not been a suecess in Summerside. We are kept in the dark as to the reason why the law is allewed to be ps0 aa see blame to our udges and lawyers for wi : ah i But ishould like to ea of yee. has really been the case. Our Press are extremely modest just now in speaki ous 28 they should. I am

large, ameunting as it did toa value of fourteen and one-half million dollars, the Inspectors intimate that the catch w#as actually greater by several hundred thous- and dollars. The kinds of fish which abound most largely in our waters can be ascertained by the following statement of

the value of the yield of each :—- Cod . > : $4,534,009 Mackerel i 2,178,966 Salmon “° . 635,427 Herrings ° . 1,511,612 Haddock ‘ ‘ 416,075 Lobsters : . 2,143,312 Whitefish . : 203,018 Trout 134,897

The codfish is obtained chiefly in Nova Scotia, where the yield reached a value of $2,497,839, and in the Gulf within the Province of Quebec, where it was $1,428,- 000; mackerel and haddock are obtained most largely in Nova Scotia, herrings in New Brunswick,lobsters in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, salmon in British Columbia, and trout and white fish in Ontario. The number of men employed in 1880,and the number and value | of vessels and boats were as follews:—

Vessels, Boats, Men. No. $ No. 57,421 1,181 168,688 23,848 708,563

Averaging a family at five persons, it would appear that 287,105 persons,or ene-fifteenth of the pepulation, are directly sustained by fishing, and that the capital employed in the industry, irrespective of tackle, am- ‘ounts to $2,523,000. 1t is not probable, | however, that all those engaged in fishing are heads of families, inasmuch as the ag- /gregate value of the eatch represents an

| earning of only $256 per annum for each /engaged, an amount too small to maintain a family, but which represents a comfort- able living in cases where two or more of a family prosecute the industry. There are ten fish hatcheries in the Dominion, | the expense of maintaing which was last year $29,109.61. From these breeding establish- | ments there were distributed in the sprin ‘of 1880, 21,520,600 young fish of whi 14,300,000 were white fish, and 6,300,600 salmon, and last fall there were deposited ‘in the hatching treughs of these breeding | establishments 26,212,000 vivified eggs, of | which 18,000,000 were white fish, and ' 8,084,000 salmon and salmon trout. The | whole expense of the fishery department of Canada was $86,162.55 in 1880, and from this amount has to be deducted cellections amounting to $19,423.16, leaving the net expenditure only $66,739.39, a remarkably ‘small outlay considering the importance of | the industry.

The Visit to the West.

| The Governor General and his party, on the 26th of July, pitched their tent on the

after a pleasant day’s ride over 180 miles of well ballasted and 40 miles of very rough railroad from Arthur’s Landing. Ths ‘Indians at the Lake, through their Chief, -Kawakaiwaoh, presented him an address | written on birch bark, and in the evening | a pow-wow was conducted, the red men ap- ‘pearing in all their war paint. The ‘Chief, after the ‘‘racket,” made a ‘lengthy address in his own language to 'the Marquis, which was laconically in- 'terpreted by the interpreter thus:—- |“ The Chief has to say for himself that he has been smoking his pipe empty all this evening.” His Excellency accepted the hint. On being asked by Mr. Austen, of the London Times, why he had two wives, the Chief said that by having two he could show more children on the ground at the ayment and draw more money—a remark which the Toronto Globe correspondent says is an exemplification of the fact that the present indemnity system discourages Christianity by offering o premium on the Pagan practice of polygamy. The country through which the party travel- led that day was mostly barren and sterile. On Saturday last the Governor General re- seived an address from the University of Manitoba. ‘The pic-nic to Stoney Moun- tain by the Local Governor in his honor was a success, and included a buffalo hunt and a visit to the penitentiary. The Cath- edral, College, Convent, Palace and town buildings were decoarted, and arches spanned the streets. An address was presented in French, and replied to by the Governor. Afterwards the party visited Emerson and the Mennonite settlements. The Governor General and party left by train next day for the West. The artillery fired asalute, and the crowd gave three hearty cheers.

Animal Vaccination.

Prof. Pasteur’s address, delivered in London on the 9th, on his most recent re- searches in animal vaecination is creating great interest in agricultural as well as in medical circles, beeause of the prospect it affords of reducing cattle diseases to a min!- mum. Prof. Pasteur has done, as Sir James Paget explained in thanking him in the name of the Medical Congress for his address, for the lower animals what Jenner did for the humanrace. France, says Pro- fessor Pasteur, loses every year by splenic fever animals to the value to twenty mil- lion francs. In the course of his remarks the eminent Frenchman said:—“I was asked to give a public demonstration of the results already mentioned. This ex- periment I may relate in afew words. Fifty sheep were placed\at my disposal of which twenty-five were vaccimated. A fortnight afterward the 50 sheep were in- oculated with the most virulent anthracoid microbe. The 25 vaccinated sheep resisted the infection ; the 25 unvaccinated died of splenic fever within fifty hours. Sinee that time my energies have been taxed to meet the demands of farmers for supplies of this vaccine. Im the space of twenty- five days we have vaecinated in the de- partments surrounding Paris more than 20,000 sheep, and alarge number of oattle and horses. If I were not pressed for time I should bring te your notice two other kinds of virus obtained by similar means. These ex- periments will be communicated by-and- bye te the public. I eannot eonclude with- out expressing the great pleasure I feel at the thought that it is asa member of an international medical congress assembied in England that I make known the most recent results of vaccination upon 8 disease more terrible perhaps for Domestic animals than small-pox is for man. I have given to vaccination an attention which science I hope will accept as an homage paid to the merit and immense services rendered b one of the greatest men of England— refer to Jenner.”

Shearing a Quarter of a Million of Sheep.

Few Englishmen have any idea of the magnitude of the work which has to be got through upon a large sheep station in Australia. We do not imagine that any sheep owner in the United Kingdom shears more than 10,000 sheep in a season; what will then be thought of the shearing of upwards of a quarter of a million? Yet Messrs. Edels at one of their stations, Burrawang, near Forbes, New South Wales, took the fleeces off 251,000 sheep in November and Decem- ber last. The shearing occupied eight weeks, and afforded employment for 101 shearers, 50 ‘‘rouseabouts,” and some twenty musterers. Shears being paid a sovereign for every hundred sheep, rouseabouts about an equal sum per week, and musterers six shillings a day, the total expense of the shearing, so far as

is concerned, may be roughly calculated at » £2,000. The yield was a wonderfully good one, averaging nearly five pounds weight of wool to each sheep, lambs included. The gress weight of this monster clip was

estimated at 1,180,804 pounds, made up into 2,811 bales, and as the wool was of firstrate quality, the

gross value of the yield of the Burrawing run for the year may be reckoned at $60,- 000. That one run should be capable of producing some 527 tons of woo! is indeed marvellous, and the fact that 150 wagons were employed in conveying the results of the clip to the railway is enough of itself to show the great amount of work entailed by the ownership of upwards of a quarter of a million of sheep. That 1880 was a pros- perous year for squatters in New South Wales may be gathered to some extent from the fact that 43,000 more sheep were shorn last spring at Burra than in 1879, and the yield showed an increase of fil tons of wool.
