THe Datty EXAMINER.

OCTOBER 19, 1880.

THe Sun enumerates the advantages to be derived from a line of steamers running between St. John and Great Britain. The

Island could, under existing circumstances, supply steamers leaving St. John with a Jarge quantity and variety of freight for the British markets. An improvement or ‘existing communications is evidently need- ed, in view of the fact that sheep, &c., purchased here for the British market have lto be sent some six hundred miles further

| away from their destination in order that a ‘ateamer may be had to ship them in.

Mk. Hannay, of the St. John Sun, while | here. interviewed Professor Sheldon ; and ihe has presented the Professors impres- 'sious of Canada in the familiar form of a dialogue. ‘The gist of the conversation has already appeared in the Examiner. The ‘closing part of it is the freshest and most Islanders at least. We

interesting— to

quote :—

Rep.— What about P. E. Island !

Prof.—1 like this Island very much ; it resembles England more than any other part of Canada that | have been in. Its mussel mud is a mine of wealth. They have got the nicest grass swards and pas- tures here that [ have seen in Canada. The people here have great advantages and should go largely into dairy farming, stock raising and grain growing with green crops.

Rep.-—-What do you think of their stock /

Prof.—I think their cattle are inferior, and need improvement. Their beef is in- ferior also, fron: breeding coarse animals. Their horses and sheep are good. Prob- ably this Island, from its fine, close pas- tures, is better adapted for sheep than for cattle, yet cattle would do well here also, if the people had better breeds.

Rep.—What breeds would you recom- mend ?

' Prof.—They should have good Shorthorn grades.

tep.—-How did the Ontario cattle strike you /

Prof.—-They have a deal of good cattle in Ontario, especially shert horns.

Rep.—-You went to Bow Park, of course!

Prof.—I did and was there three days. lt is a magnificent place, the farm and dis- trict generally the best 1 have seen in Can- ada. The farm is grand, the stock magni- ficent. [ never saw so many fine sherthorns together anywhere. The change of climate seems to give that breed of cattle additional vigor in Canada. They do not need to be forced as in England. They have about 250 head of short horns at Bow Park, splendid nnimals.

Rep.— What do you think of Canada as a whole !

Prof.—l am very favorably impressed with Canada asa whole. There are some districts of bad land, but then there are enormous quantities of good land. Canada shouid be capable of sustaining a population

290,000,000,

Rep.—How do you like the Canadian people ?

Prof.—Very much, they are very free, light hearted, jolly and hospitable ; they are not bowed down with cares lke our own people. One peculiarity that struck me much is their unbounded faith in the future of their country. The Canadians are a hardy, healthy, vigorous people.

Rep.—What else struck you in regard to Canada !

Prof.—I was much struck with the big- ness of thecountry. I had only got half wav across it, yet it seemed to me I had travelled enough to get almost te the end of the world.

Rep.— What breeds of sheep should do best in this climate ? hy oe

Prof,—The border Leicesters, Cotswolds and Shropshire Downs ; all these breeds are hardy.

Rep.—How did you like the Ottawa Par- liament buildings !

Prof.--They are magnificent, far beyond anything I expected. to see; their site is unapproachable. : :

Rep.—Are you taking with you any samples of our soil ?

Prof.— Yes, several.

Rep.—Is there any other observation

that occurs to you with respect to Canada !

Prof.—Nothing more than this, that you have a great country, a country of great re- sources, and that these resources will be practically unlimited for the next 200

years.

Tue Patriot says: ‘‘ It is pleasant to see that our late townsman, Mr. Robert Harris, is fast growing in reputation as an artist. In the Canadian Monthly for October,in an article headed ‘‘ Art as represented at the Autumn fairs in Canada,’ we find the fol- lowing passage:— ‘Let it not be inferred from what we have said thst there are no good pictures in the Toronto Crystal Palace this year. The new Vice-President of the Ontario Society of Artists, Mr. Harris, would alone redeem it from that charge.’”

An advertisement in an English society journal is accompanied by a cut of a mus- tached man who wears a corset. The motto of the merchants is, ‘‘ When nature fails then art steps in.” The dramatic pro- fession is mentioned as among the wearers

To the Lditor of the Examiner.

Sir,—My attention has been directed to the City Collector’s assessment notice, in which he calls on_all in arrears for the ‘‘last half year’s assessment” to pay up, etc. Taxpayers wish to know when does the half yearend? In other words, what ismeant by thisambiguous wording of the notice in question.

TAXPAYER, Ch’town, Oct. 17, 1880.

Interesting Statements. Tue St. John News remarks that ‘ Sir Charles Tupper, in his Brome speech a few days ago, made, among others, four state- ments of no little interest and importance, He said that a handsome surpius would be shown in the revenue and expenditure ac- count of the Dominion at the close of the fiscal year. He also said that at the close of June next there would be a balance on the right side, instead of a deficit in the: Intercolonial Railway accounts. The for- mer statement can hardly fail to be veri- fied ; the latter will, we trust, be snstained by the facts at the proper time. A third statement was that the Government had been able to make a contract with capital- ists representing houses in Great Britain, Germany, Franee and the United States, that they would have the utmost pride in laying before the assembled Parliament at the earliest period consistent with the pub- lic interests of the country. Sir Charles spoke frem the beok in this matter, and could not be mistaken. The impression, therefore, sought to be made by the Opposi- tion journals that no such contract had been made, proves to be The fourth statement was that the gen- tlemen connected with the project were prepared to carry the railway to the foot of the Rocky Mountains within three years.

—— at > ta Our Many Uses for Muck.

Muck is cooling to the soil in summer, and warming in the winter; it collets moist. ure and retains it, it aerates the earth, is a reservoir of ammonia and other elements of plant food, not the least of which are its crumbling shells and fragments of petrifac- tions. Have we cuttings or root grafts to pretect from drought or frost, we apply muck, not fearing’to cover them from sight; have we new strawberries from each plant of which we expect hundreds of new plants, we cover the earth with muck; have we rare grapes or raspberries, from which extraordinary growth is desired, a bashel or more of muck cempost is worked in the soil about them; have we quinces or dwarf pears the roots of which forage near home we mulch with muck; have we an old orhard; we wish to rejuvenate we apply muck broadcast; have we newly planted trees, we guard against drought with muck ; have we flower-beds, or rose hedges, we apply muck ; have we manure in the stable or poultry yard, or wastes of the house that might pvison the well and spring if buried; have we ashes in the pit, pr bone-dust in the bin, by com- positing with muck we guard against loss ef the better parts, and greatly enhance their fertilizing capacity. 1 hasten to prescribe muck under all circumstances and condi- tions.
