Sheep Husbandry, Wheat Grow-

ing, etc.

As a whole, this Province is prosper- |

ous, and going on to prosper. The ex- cellent machinery for farm work with which it is now well supplied ; the im-—

proved facilities for autumn and winter communication which are assured by the steamer ‘Summerside’ and the Cape Traverse Railway ; railway accommoda-

tion from Tignish to Souris and George town, aud good roads everywhere place the Island in a _ better position than ever, A splendid

harvest in hand, and good prices will enable persons who bave been in finan- cial difficulty to lessen their burdens or throw them off altogether. Many mortgages will be redeemed; accounts at the Land Office will be squared up; notes of hand aud ‘‘bills’ at the stores will be paid off. An effort to get out of debt will be made all along the line; and —our storekeepers, having learned by bitter experience to say ‘‘no” to the too persuasive commercial traveller, and our farmers having been taught that to pledge their credit for “dandy waggons,” etc., which they do not want, er for flashy organs, etc., which they cannot ure, is a folly—an effort will be made to keep out of debt, to maiutain the posi- tion in which, alone, men can be com- fortable. But there are some sectious of the conntry which continue in a ‘*back- ward state,” and some persons who do not thrive. This is observable chiefly in the inland settlements where it is difficult or impossible to obtain sea manure. The farms are *“‘run out,’’ and the farmers are “run down.” Oat growing does not pay ; and toil,and slave,and strive as they may, prosperity does not come to them. It is to be regretted, we think, that farmers so cireumstanced do not follow the example of Mr. Newson, of this city, and try sheep farming. Three years ago Mr. Newson obtained the worn- out “Warren Farm” and two years ago he purchased a hundred ewes and one or two highly bred rams, and placed them on it. The flock is this year doubly as large as it was when brought together, and much more than doubly as valuable , the land is being rapidly brought in ; and the wool and sheep which have beeu sold, paid the cost. All have not the means of obtaining a large flock as quickly as Mr. Newson; but all can take good care of the sheep they have ; and, with care in its keeping aud breed- ing, it is surprising how soon a large and paying flock of sheep may be formed. The high dry lands of our interior are admirable for sheep raising ; and besides supplying our local woollen factories with all they require, a large quantity of wool might each year be exported at @ profit to.those engaged in sheep hus- banding.

Mr. Newson’s example might also, be followed by farmers who are kept poor because they have to buy bread for Jarge families, Mr. Newson has dis- covered the secret by which wheat grow-

ing may be made as safe and suree here as in any other part of Canada. From a_ tract

of twenty acres of land which was so badly ‘run out” that it was not fit for pasture, Mr. Newson last year—a year in which the wheat erops of the {slaud was acomparative failure--obtain- ed a return of eighteen from one; and this year froma tract of thirty-eight acres of similar land he anticipates a res turn atthe rate of twenty to twenty-five

bushels from one. Mr. Newson’s secret is simple. It lies in the manure he applies He knows what kind of

food the growing wheat plant requires ; he applies it; and it pays him to do so This year hiswheat crop will be worth some $1600. Forest Fires.

Tne raio of to-day will have quenched the fires whichhave raged in the western part of the Island during the past two weeks. We are informed that hundreds of acres of woodland have beeu over-run, and so dry was the time, the surface soil or vegetable mould has in many places been burned away, and the quality of the land much impaired. Thousands of dollars worth of property has been de- stroyed. The worst ot it is that the damage is not confined to those who were so thoughtless and careless as to set out fires in such a dry season, bat has to be bourne by many who place a proper value upon their growing wood, and preserve it as carefully as they can. —_—-—-- —- ~> <>

—-Sir Hector hit the nail on the head, ai Cornwall, Ont., He had been laying the corner stone of a large public beilding in that prosperous town, and was of course honored with a banquet and a toast. Speaking in reply to the latter, he referred to the “disputed territory,” seized by the Local Govern- ment of Ontario, and said: “Some people have tried to make out that the people of the Province of Quebee, es- pecially the Freach-Canadians, wanted to deprive you of that territory. Gentle- men, if you are entitled to that terrilory. no matter how much it is, you may be sure that you will have everv inch of it. ; On the other hand, if you are not entitled to it, you shall not have au ineb of the territory that belongs to another

Frovince. We want justice for Ontario,

we waut justice for Manitoba and all the Proviuces.”

| Temperance Work in Souris.

Dear Str,—If report be true—and no | doubt it is—Souris has seldom or never ' witnessed sucha temperance boom as we have felt this week. On Tuesday, the two meetings as advertised in Tar EXAMINER ' took place in the Court House. The man- ner in which the clergymen and public men |of King’s County showed themselves in i behalf of the Temperance movement on | that day, is something which will not be | easily forgotten. IL care not who they may ibe, drunkards, moderate drinkers, or tots! |abstainers, who may have attended or wit nessed the temperance work of this week here, it must be acknowledged that the people are thoroughly aroused in a right direction, and mean to see the cause of temperance triumphant. Your correspond- ent reports facts just as they are—he has nothing to do, personally, with anybodys opinion, or fiction, or imagination, being independent enough for facts. To a con- trary course, he would simply say son libet.

Ov Tuesday the King’s County Branch of the Alliance met at 2 o’clock, afternoon, and the President, the Rev. Chas. Mac- donald, P. P., of Georgetown, occupied the chair. Ladies, by their presence, joined in the good work. True, the mercantile element of Souris, was not represented as fully as it should or might have been, but they had a very good representative in the person of Mr. J. G. Sterns. That gentle- man gave a rousing and earnest address, pointing to the fulfilment of absolute duties in temperance work, and the certainty of triumph if those duties are honestly and persevereing'y performed. Among others present we noticed the following gentlemen: Rev. Chas. Macdonald, Rev. Mr. Bell, Rev. Wm. Phelan, Rev. Father Gillis, Rev. Mr. Wass, Rev. Mr. Stephenson, Rey. Donald Macdonald, Rev. Mr. Coulter, Rev. Mr. Cameron, Messrs. Mooney, Jas. Aitken, Edward Lane, Arch. Lord, and many gentlemen from outlying districts, most of whom took a part, more or less in the proceedings.

A branch has been created to act in Scuris, and local officers appointed. Al- though not as yet decided whe is to be prosecuting officer on behalf of the Alliance, it has been resolved to appoint a gentle- map, who shall be supported sufficiently to carry out the provisions of the Scott Act to their fullest extent, and rigorously enfore them without fear or faver. A committee is appointed on behalf of the Alliance, locally, with the Rev’s. Father McDonald

and Father Cameron as President and Vice- | President, Mr. Brehaut acting as corres-

ponding secretary, and William Haley, as Recording Secretary, both of the last named gentlemen being local school teachers. Rev. Mr. Coulter acts as Treasurer. At the evening meeting, which was attended by a largely and highly respectable audiences, the Rev. Chas. McDonald again occupied the chair. His opening address explained in an able manner the position of the Alliance, the evila of intemperance, the illegality of the rum traffic, and the necessity for united and earnest action in opposing the sale of intoxicating liquors. The Rev. Mr. Bell, Rev. Father Gillis, Rev. Mr. Wass, Rey. Gregory Macdonald, Rev. Mr. Stephenson, Rev. Father Phelan, aad Bev. Donald Macdonald, all addressed the meeting. The best of good order was maintained, and the addresses were well to the purpose, full of sound argument and good logic. We give Mr. Bell for eloquence, Mr. Wass for solemn earnestness; Father Gregory for declama- tion, Mr. Stephenson for determination, Father Phelan for wit and humor, Father Donald for reasonable argument and en- treaty, Father Charles for solid facts, and Father Gillis for reasonable advocacy, and placiog things just as thep are. All manner of arguments and styles of elocution. It was the old, old story, told over again, and never told too often, as long as necessary. Tu some of the speskers younger than him- self, your correspondent takes the liberty of saying (in all good will) that their way of telling the story might be considerably improved. Most of the speakers were old, trained workers in the cause; full of sound judgment and prudent zeal, and among those, one cannot help expressing the gen- eral pvblic opinion, which gives to Father Gillis the position of chief.

The campaiga opened on Tuesday, reach- the stage of striving battle on Thursday. It was reserved for Col. Hickman to charge in full foree on that day. The Court House was crowded to its utmost capacity, and outside the building an audience almost as large as the one inside had assembled. gazing in every window, or gathered on every spot where they could gee or hear the speaker. Old residents say that Souris never witnessed such an audience before, or that it was not surpassed even by the great- est political excitement. The splendid voice which the Col. knows how to use, was fully required. He is man able an and eloquent speaker, fit to adorn any platform. He ie ap earnest, and faithful, and success- fal worker in the cause of temperance. His audience, as respectable and intelligent a one as ever assembled on Princes Edward Island, were swayed by passages of eloquence rarely surpassed. He provokes laughter, by his powers of mimicry, and gathers tears awid pathetic appeals. There were men in the andience who are opposed to the Scott Act, and who seem to feel no personal necessity for total abstinence, and even they speak of him in terms of warm- est respect and adinivation. It is an honor to Souris, that its people from among all creeds, and all classes of the community

have shown their appreciation of a gentleman who ranks high in his native land, and is

a recognized chief in the great and noble order to which he belongs, and of which he has ever been the painstaking and elo- quent advocate “without money and with out price,” for his work is a labor of love. In Souris he has gained golden opinions, and many hope to hear him again. The Rev. Donald Macdonald, P, P., occupied the chair, the meeting was orderly through- out, the breathless stillness of earnest attention being only broken now and then by bursts of hearty applause. As a result ot Col. Hickman’s labors here, a lodge has been organized with 75 charter members, among them your correspondent. This makea the Dih lodge organized, and so far S uris stands largest in membership. The following is the list of officers : ~ Peter Stewart—W. C. T. Mrs. J. J. Colter—W. V. T,
