BOARD 0F HEALTH

(Continued from Page 0n‘e.)‘

He was not, and he did not think any of the butchers were, opposed to meat

inspection. but the difllculty that be saw was the proper carrying out of that inspection. They bought their stock from the country, and cattle before being killed fasted for twenty- four or thirty-six' hours.. It was necessary that all stock should fast at least twenty-four hours. They tried to buy the very best cattle they could, and he believed, taking this country as a whole, there was very little of any disease. He had seen the report the year before last of the inspector at Summerslde, and of all the cattle he had inspected he condemned only one. That showed clearly that. if he was a proper inspector, there was very little disease in Prince County. Meat could not be shipped from this to any of the Western provinces without being in- spected; but there was no inspection in Nova Scotia. and Newfoundland. There was a Dominion Veterinary who examined and inspected cattle here. and the speaker heard of one animal being condemned. He would like to know where Dr McMillan got the "measly" pork wliicli he showed to the Council. Ho had not heard of a "measly" pig for twoiity~iivc years, and he did not know how this one turned up. He would admit that very often meat of poor quality came to the market, but could they get an inspec- tor to condemn that meat because it was poor? Let them go to Boston or .Montreal and see the stuff the inspec- tors passsd there. The people here .would not even look at it. There was veal on the Montreal market from calves which were very often not twenty-four hours old. He admitted that in the spring at lol. of calves were often killed that should not be killed; but so far as uiuttoii, heel' and pork were concerned he did not think it could be surpassed in the world, and lio\v tlic City Council could curry out this matter of inspection he wanted to know. Where ilioy killed they were as careful ns possible, and il' they were forced to takc their stock lo another concerii to he killed he would not remain in thc liuiiiiioss twenty-four hours. Ilis firm very ol'to\i in the summer got orders from steaiiiers be- tween six o'clock at night arid any time in the morning. where it wus necessary for them to kill hurriedly; and if they were obliged to go to the abattoir they would first of all have to hunt up the owner of it to get access to the place, and after that spend a great deal of time iii locating the man to kill the stock. Anil bc- sldes. no man would pay much for his cattle und have tlioin mixed up with others in this place. To carry out the proposition, lie thought the Council would have to get power from the Legislature. I-le was outside the city limits, and could they go out there and authorise him to do this and that wltliout the power of the Legislutiire? A horde oi` inspectors' would have to be uppoiuted to go through the eoiin- try lnspecting cattle, and they would noi. do this work for nothing. If the Legislature asked the farmers to pay for having this done it would be worse than the Automobile or the Dog Tax. They were anxious to give the people of their best, but the people were not appreciative. A great many people would complain about had meat, yet they were the very ones who would not buy good stuff. There was not'one house in ten in Charlottetown, he stated, that knew liow to cook meat. He thought the meat was destroyed in cooking.

As regards milk, lie said that the

people of Charlottetown got the best milk in the world and did not deserve it. The inilkmeii here had the hardest task to drag around their nillk from Monday morning to Saturday iilglit, and a great many people did not pay for what they got. A great many persons agitated about unclean milk, while their own crockery at home was not in zi coiiditlori to encourage the niilkmeii to keep their stables clean. l-le knew that the inilkmeii. did all they could to give satisfaction. He had been into several stables and they were scrupulously clean and reflected credit on those who owned them. In coiiclusion. he said that so fur as milk was conccriied tho people get it good article, ilnd in regard to incnt he had ncver liciird a complaint.

Mr Saiindei-.s endorsed the sonti-

ments expressed by Mr Blake, who. ho said. had slulcd the mutter clearly. He thought ihcy were all anxious to have meat inspection. Since there liad- been so niucli talk people had become afraid to eat meat, and one lady had called him up that morning and uskcd what was tho epidemic among liogs? was lliore any disease among tlicni? llo wus of opinion flint, as matters stood, inspection wus nocossary.

Mr i~ltcplii\n lirowii supported the

views of Mr Blake. adding that to take their cattle to tlio slaughter house would "nut ovory butcher from coni- iiig into town."

Called upon to speak. Mr Drako sniii

lic had notliing to add to what Mr Blake lind stntod.

Asked by Councillor- Riley ii' the cl_ty

butchers would be willing to have their meat inspected in their slaughter houses if the city so desired. Mr Blake replleil_ that ilioy would be only too glad to have it ilonc. lt was to their own interest to keep everything in connection with their business clean; they wereanxious to do the right tliing.- There was not a man in the business who did not wont to treat the people right.

Dr Johnson said ii seemed that the

butchers were iiiiaiilnioiisly in favour of inspection and he did not think there should bo-any cildiculty in' com- ing to suitable arrangements with them, if they 'could 'all be got to put their buildings and ,premises in the some condition as those of Mr Blake. Mr.Saunders and others.

ln reply to Mr Brown. who asked

for figures regarding Messrs Davis & ,¥~‘raser's business, Dr ilouslicld _stated thai. lic had no authority to give any 'information in that regard. All who wanted any facts in regard to inspec- tion could get the same from Ottawa. ,_ .Mr Blake having thanked the Coun- -cil. on behalf of hlfnsrlllf and the other butchers present. for the courtesy extended to them.

the Wanderers to wear tlicmselves down in the curly stages of their ulniost superliinnzin eilorts to-get on even terms in the N.l~i.A. champion- ship gome here last night, the Ottawas retained sufficient oi’ their four goal margin to give them the coveted championship. The \’Vandercrs won the llnul match ol' thc home and lioinc series for the honour by the narrow niurgin oi' one goal to notliing. To Donald Smith, it substitute, goes the honour' of scoring the only goiil of thc game. 'i‘lic tofnl on thc i'ound ot' the two gaiiios was four to one for thc Senators. lfnalilc to shoulder their heavy handicap of four goals the red builds started almost as nervous wrecks. while the Oltawas, having much the better- position of the two clubs. went into the game showing every confidence ns well as determina- tion to maintain their load secured hy them on their own ice in the mid- week game.

The local players did not start out

with the dash and determination that has marked many of their previously easy victories over the Senators, and for the first few niiiiiites they showed marked signs of bewildernieiit as to what style of play to adopt in their attack. Plays that had been well planned during recent practice hours were forgotten and tlie_Wauderers were not only oiltgeneralled on the ice, but the judgment of those in charge of the players on the Ottawa bench offset every move made by the local management. When ii. Wanderer regular was relieved for a resting spell there was also a switch made on the visiting tcum. The visitors. with their t`our-goal margin, could afford to wait and allow their opponeiits lo carry thc pliiy to them, and the locnls were forced to be the aggressors at all times.

“I would urge the farmers of Canada to do their share in preventing

the people of Great Britain from suffering want or privation.”

HON. MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture.

Fertilization and Thorough Cultivation Will Help the 'Empire

Patriotism and Production must go hand in hand. Great Britain and her Allies need

food. Canada must. help in supplying that need. You as a Canadian must do your share.

The soil is the basis of food production. Therefore, cultivation, proper fertilization

and good seed are important factors. This docs not seem very complex, but with the right crops on the right soil, this is the whole gospel of crop production.

How can you better dt your-

Boll for your work this year?

(1) Attend your Conference.

(2) Talk matters over with

your neighbor farmers. Give help and get help.

(8) Read the agricultural

articles in the daily and weekly press and in the agricultural papers.

(4) Write to the Canadian

Department of Agriculture _at Ottawa and you Provincial Department of Agriculture for infomation.

Germany, France, Belgium,

Holland and Denmark have increased their food production enormously during the last twenty years through cultiva- tion, fertillzation and seed selection. These are thc noun-, tries that are being either devastated or most seriously affected by this war. Now is

Canada’s opporiunitf as , wcll as Canada’s respous bility.

The German Kaiser has 'cut
