Tulloch Farm.
Tuts farm is on the northern bank of the
Hillsborough about tive miles from Char- luttetown. A gentle slope to the south- ward affords natural drainage, and ensures to crops and cattle the full benefit of warm sunshine. The homestead and barns are sheltered from the north winds by a large ** bush " of spruce and fir, and command a broad aud beautiful prospect of river, grove and hill. In front of the heuse there is an orchard of three acres, yielding not only cherries and plums, but gravensteins, russets and other choice varieties of apples, equal, in point of quality, to any that we have seen from the far-famed valley of the Annapolis.
The soil under cultivation is naturally of excellent quality ; and it has been greatly improved by the application of mussel mud and other manures in addition to those Hon. Mr. Fer- artificial

He is now importing the con- stituents of artificial manures direct from England, and compounding them himself to suit his soil and the different crops he desires to produce. For turnips, he finds phosphatic manure to be the must suitable, using a little ammonia to start the crop and place it quickly beyond the danger of

ing crops, adding a little potash. Last year he tested imported artificial manure in the production of vats
from fields on a farm which he had lately
purchased and which were net in good
heart. The results were more than satis- iactory—they were gratfying in the highest degree—the additional product compensat- ing him fully for the expense incurred. For grain, Mr. Ferguson finds it necessary to use manures high in ammonia and potash with a good proportion of phosphate. The grain and roots grown the farm

The cattle now in stable at Tulloch Farm comprise the following, of which Mr. Fer- ¥usen possesses authenticated pedigrees Three pare bred Ayrshire cows in calf. Pwo - heifers.

The Galloway cattle are a marked feature of the farm. To Mr. Ferguson belongs the great credit of introducing this excellent breed of cattle. He has been fortunate in ubtaining animals belonging to some of the most fashionable strains. His bull, ** Elsie-Highlandman,” was sired by ‘* John Highlandman,” winner of the first prize at the Highland Society’s Show in 1881, and, adinittedly, one of the best stock bulls in Scotland. It is said that ‘‘ John Highland- mau’ was sold for $5,000, and it is certain that « family group of his get won second prize at the great show held in Dumfries last year.

Galloway cattle will, in our opinion, suit very well the circumstances of the farmers of the hardiest and heartiest of all cattle, es cept the ** West Highlanders,” and it 1s said that the difference between them and that picturesque breed in this important quality is very slight. Aiton says:
‘It is well-known that the Galloway breed of cattle have, by the attention of the in. habitants, been brought to a degree ot per- fection for feeding equal or superior to any breed in Great Britain. They possess all the excellencies of shape, size, constitution and qualities that ean recommend them to the English graziers. They are of a tolerable size and very handsume. They are spirited, strong, very healthy and hardy, and no cattle whatever feed better or yield beef that is more relished at table, as can be well attested in all parts of South Britain.”

While on this point, we miy quote what Clement Stephenson, the great breeder and feeder of cattle at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, says about ths quality of beef required for the British market. ‘To a reporter for the Pall Mall Gazette he expressed his views, as follows :—
**A vastchange has come over the public taste during the last ten years in respect to Christmas beef. Previous to that time, it was almost all fat, and the masses of useless and waste meat produced every year was not only aloss but offensive to the eye. This fat was the most costly of all to produce, and when produced, did no good whatever. Such aniinals 43 Were seen ten to twenty years ago in the various shows and markets could scarcely now be sold at any price; for but- chers will not have them, a sconsumers have learned the greater value of younger and leaner beef. No animal should be fed simply to feed the dripping pan.”
the Shorthorns and Ayrshires in Mr. Ferguson’s herd has been at Provincial Exhibi- tions ; so we many at once turn from the herd to the _ flock. We find at the head of a splendid flock of pure bred Shropshire Downs the imported ram Dufferin, Nu. 2894. Mr. Ferguson purchas- ed him, when last in England, from Messrs. Evans, of Uffington, famous as breeders of Shropshire sheep. It need nut be said that Dufferin is a noble animal, and worthy to be the lord of so fine a flock. He is the winner of four first prizes. The ewes, with the exception of two selected from the flock of Mr. John Taylor, of Shropshire, were purchased by Mr. Ferguson at the great dispersion sale of Miles Woodburne, of Kenwick, Shropshire.
Shropshire sheep are valuable for wool, and excellent for mutton. In these re- spects, they are nearly, if not fully, equal to Southdowns. But they have larger frames and heavier flseces. Experience has proved that they are singularly well adapted to Prince Edward Island, and that? the ewes are exceptionally good mothers. Atany rate, Shropshires and their ewes now form the larger part of the ‘sheep brought to our annual exhibitions ; ‘and it is worthy of remark, that at the last | exhibition, Mr. Ferguson took the first prize ‘in every class of Down sheep.

Taylor and Mr. Philip Large duly elected. But His Worship declined to be judge in the case, and referred the matter to the Reeor- der, who says that the civic authorities can take no action. The irregularity of the demand made by Messrs. Taylor and Large is patent. It was, probably, meant as an
election dodge.

The President, Mr. C. C. Gardiner, having taken the chair, the Directors’ re- port was read by the Secretary.
The Seeretary then read the following memorandum of propositions respecting a Provincial Exhibition, which they wished tosubmit tothe Government, and upon which they desired an expression of opinion from the Association :
1. They propose to memorialize the Govern- ment fora grant of $2,500 a year for five years, for the purposes of a Provincial Prize List, the Association to supplement that grant by $1,500 a year, making together a total of $4,000, the whole to be offered for a prize list for agricultural and industrial products,
2. The Association to provide good, perma- nent and suflicient exhibition buildings and grounds.
3. The Exhibition to be open to the whole Province.
4. The Government to have representation with the Executive Committee in the prepara- tion of the prize list.
5. The Association to be responsible for and have the management of the Exhibition and distribution of prizes.
6. A full and detailed report of al! exhibits, and an account of all moneys received for or expended on prizes, to be submitted to the Government not later than 3lst December in each year.
7. The Government to give a grant of $2,500 a year for tive years towards a prize list, such grant to be guaranteed as may be deemed advisable.
On motion of Mayor Haviland, seconded by Dr. Taylor, the report was unanimously adopted.

To Sheikh Hamed Ben Mahomed, from his goed friend Henry M. Stanley: Many salaams to you. I hope that youare in as good health us fui, and that you have remained in good bealtii since I left the Congo. I have mach to say io you, but hope I will see you face to face before many days. I reached here this morning with 130 wana, 3 soldiers and 66 natives belonging to Emin Pasha. It is now 82 days since 1 left Emin Nyaust. I los* only three men,on the way. ‘wo were (owned and the others decamped. I found the white men, who were looking for Emin Pasha, quite well. The other white man, Casati, is also well. Emin Pasha has ivory in abundance, thousands of cattle and sheep, goats and fowl, and food of all kinds. I found him a very good and kind man. He gave all our white and black men numbers of things. His liberality could not be excelled. His soldiers blessed our black men for their kindness in coming so far to show them the ways Many of them were ready to foilow me out ot the country, but I asked them to stay quiet afew months that I might return and tetch the o' her men and goods left at Yambuana. They prayed to Gol that He would give me strength to finish my work. May their prayers be heard, and now, my friends, what are pon guing tudo? We have gone tie road tvice over. We know were it bad and wi ere itis good, where thereis plenty of food and wuere there is none, where all the camps are, aul where we'shall sleep and rest, I am waiting to hear your word. If you go with me it is well. I leave itto you. 1 will stay here ien days and will then proceed slowly. [ will move hence to Big Island, two hours’ march from here. Above this place there are plenty of houses aud plenty of food for the nev. Whatever you have to say tome my ears will be open with a good heart, as it has always been, towards you. Therefore if you come, come quickly, for on the eleventh morn- ing from this I shall move on. All my white men are well, but I left them all behind ex- cept my servant, William, who is witi me.
