OUR LIVESTOCK-

INCE EDWARD ISLAND is al-

most exclusively agriculture-I. RS present prosperity is due to the fact [that the majority have stayed by the farm. and those who have done so have no cause to regret their de- cision. The foundation of our ag- ricultural prosperity is our 11W stock, mainly our cattle. hogs and poultry. with a proportionate credit to our horses and sheep. not 1018911- tlng our almost recent introduction oi silver foxes. Our main lines. how- ever, are and will continue to be cattle, hogs and poultry. These are our agricultural mainstay.

This week our farmers will have an opporunity oi seeing the very best that we produce in these lines. Moreover, they will have an oppor- tunity of knowing what breeds are best in each, how the best can be bred and brought to maximum pro- ductiveness. This is one of the great opportunities oi the Exhibi- tion. Authorities will speak on the different breeds of animals, of the points in be observed in each, and of the characteristics which make for the best. It is important that every farmer who can possibly do so should hear these lectures and see the demonstrations. It will be an education that no farmer. no matter how well versed he may be. can af- ford to miss, because there is no end to agricultural education, all oi which are worthy to be pursued to the best possible advantage. In po- tato growing we have leame-l very much in the past few years. In dairying such as butter-making an‘. cheese-making, which are branches of our live stock business. we have also forged far ahead of the position we held even a decade ago, but we have further yet to go. We have not yet arrived at the maximum either in quality or in production. We are in competition with the world in these products, and the markets of the world now demand the very best, in fact, there is room only for the best. and if we are to maintain our place in the great competitive race we must know how to produce the best and the most. Prince Edward Island is small and necessarily the quantity of produce that we put upon the market will be small in comparison with the larger countries which are our com- petitors. yet even the small quantity if of the best quality will ﬂnda sure place and will command the best prices.

Let us each view the present Ex- hibition as the great examination time for our farmers, iihe great in- structlon-giving period for further progress and further development. There is much to be learned and the Federal Department oi Agriculture with our agricultural colleges and our Experimental Farms is now in a position to impart the latest meth- ods to all who want to know.

The next few days will be a great school for our farmers, and we trust that every farmer who desires to do better than he is doing now-and every farmer worthy of the name wishes to do so, no matter how suc- cessful he may have been—will take full advantage of the opportunities which the occasion presents. There Is no science which has more to learn. no science which has a larger field of opportunity before it than agriculture and stock raising and the progressive farmer is learning some- thing new every day oi his life.

In addition in the lectures which will be given, the Department of Ag- riculture has always in stock anun- limited quantity of literature dealing with all phases of agriculture and stock breeding, and this is at the disposal oi all our farmers, provided they ask for it. Every farmer should have his name on the mailing list of the Agricultural Deplrtrhent and should make the most possible use d the information which the De-

partment is always ready to give. first of ell, however. let the farmers ma» to the mhlhirltn llld hcarand I! Vi!" ll b81118 Presented for their

OUR NEGLECTED RESOURCES WE frequently boast OI 0111’ 53"‘ cultural prosperity. 11nd W‘ have whereof to boast. Our farms those oi them which are kept 11v 1K the mark, are as PTWWfOus prob- ably as those oi any other provnici in the Dominion. Yet we are n01 all farmers and cannot be. The" are other callinss which WIMP‘ a“ equally promising. We complain that we have but few lndustrie: m engage our people, yet With i little enterprise there are other in- dustries which are open to us. Oncl upon a time we had brick and D0?" tel-y works, and they were carried 011 successfully. We have clay of r very superior quality- “m; °n1Y 501 the manufacture oi bricks, but 0i the ﬁnBSI; kind of lwtterv- some do: an enterprising SDBOUIBWY» PIPPEPIY a Yankee. will come in and estab- lish either a pottery or a brick kllr and prove to us that we have miss- ed a great opportunity. Around our shores, particularly in our bays. there are large quantities of sea weed oi a very superior kind for upholstering. The only use ti which this sea weed is now put is t1 clog propellers oi our motor boats Properly harvested this seaweed would command a very lucrative price. Some day some en- terprising foreigner, probably e Yankee, will come in and open UP 8 business in this line, and make a little fortune out of it. Other resources, all our own might be mentioned which could be turned to good account, but we are

undeveloped.

We need to look after our neglect- ed resources. We are by no means wanting in the wherewithal provided we have the courage and the enter- prise to look after them.

moo-i EDITORIAL NOTES.

It is the solemn duty oi every citi- zen to attend the Exhibition in per- son or by proxy, and in any case to help in some way to make it a suc- cess.

The power of publicity is clearly evidenced by the number of visitors who make it a point to see Caven- dish made famous in Lucy Maude Montgomery's now far-famed story of “Anne of Green Gables.”

Our Liberal friends are trying to extract some comfort from tlle al- leged fact that the adverse vote given the Saunders Government came from Liberal ridings. Just what comfort this affords is not ap- parent to the ordinary citizen. When a Government is turned down by its own friends there is evidently something wrong with the Govern- ment.

Nothing has yet been done to drive the crows away from Victoria Park. So long as the crows have pOSSESSIOll we need not look for sing- ing birds, chip-munks. squirrels, or any other of the little people that should make our groves gardens of pleasure. The crows owe us noth- ing; they do little ii’ any good, but they are capable of much mischief. We understand the black birds.an- other of our winged pests, are do- ing untold damage in the grain ﬁelds. The time has arrived when the feathered as well as the other pests should be fought to a ﬁnish.

Confederation room. in the Par- liament Building, is now another mecca which many Canadians make it a point in visit while here. The memorial paintings by Sir Robert Harris in st. Peal-s Chapel, also attract many visitors, and there are many who are interesmd in the romantic story oi Thomas Carlylek first love, Bluemine in Sartos, Res- artus, Margaret Gordon, who was born in Charlottetown and who ai- terwards returned to this city as the wife of its then Lieutenan Govern- or, Sir Alexander Bannerman.

IBITION Week seems like "Old Home Week" of some years ago. there so many old-timers round abo you run up againsi them at every corner. It is good for everyone to have a summer holiday, even the farmer. who is usually so busy at such times, is recognizing that in taking a day or two oi! for the Exhibition he is combining ‘- ‘ with pleasure.- a profitable, healthful recreation.

The passing of Lord Haldane of Sloan removes one of the most strik- lng personalities of his day and gen- eration. He shared with Lord Bal- four the distinction of winning the highest honors ih two spheres — thr philosophical and the political. Both received the distinction of having conferred upon them that most ex- :lusive royal order-the Order oi vicrit — O. M. Lord Haldane rublished many important and lllilosophical works, dealing with lbstruse subjects, but his nost popular were “Education lnd Empire," in 1902; and “Human Experience, a Study of its Struc- ture," in i926.

In the political world Lord Hal- :lane played a most conspicuous double part. In the Liberal Govern- ment in 1905-12, he was Secretary of State for War, and it was during his tenure that the British army was completely reorganized, the old vol- unteers and militia being abolished 1nd trcops—known as “territorials" taking their place; while the gen- eral staff was practically scrapped and a new one substituted. The ef- fects of these changes were felt beneﬁcially when the war broke out in i914.

In 1912 Lord Haldane was ap- lointed Lord High Chancellor, tile post next to that of the King him- self. He held the position until i915 when the Ministry was reconstruct- ed owing to the war; but, most re- markable of all. he was reappointed 5o the exalted position under the Labor Ministry oi RtyHon. J. Ram- say Macdonald, when it seemed practically impossible to get another lawyer of suillcient eminence and experience to hold the oﬂice.

Ontario is having complaints sim- llar to our own about attempts to divert the tourist traﬂic elsewhere. Since adopting Government Control, Ontario has had practically the monopoly of the holiday traﬂlc from the Middle States, and this has roused the envy and antipathy of other holiday resorts over the bor- der. It seems propaganda is being spread among Ontario bound tour- ists that they must pay $200 to en- ter that province, and that all gaso- line is drained from their cars as a fire prevention measure —— so that they may ﬁll up with Ontario taxed gas. Surely these Americans could not already have heard of Hon. Mr. McIntyre’s boast that it is the tour- ist who pays for our roads?

Reports are being received from various parts about the poor crops expected in different parts of Can ada. Information from Annapolis Valley is that this is going to be a very poor year for apples-from half to two-thirds average crop, while from the Okanagan Valley of B. G. the report is that “sun scald" has

_ so affected the crop there that the

number of the best grades have been greatly affected, and that the quantity for export will be consid- erably below the average.

Reports about the potato crop in Ontario are also far from satisfac- tory. it being stated that there is practically a failure there, the long wet season being primarily respons- ible. A reliable authority is respons- ible for the statement that Ontario will have to import most of its high grade table stock this year, and nat- urally Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick will be the ﬁelds of production that should beneﬁt. It is necessary that our shippers be alive to this, and it is interesting that re- presentatives from this Pro- vlnce will visit Toronto soon in connection with the Maritime Pro- vinces Association excursion when, no doubt, the qucstion will be dealt with viva voce.

That honor among theieves is not a fact, but merely a proverb. is the conclusion at which the Toronto

Globe has arrived. as the following brief editorial from its columns tes- titled:-

"A story published in The Globe yesterday told of the attempt oi a convicted gunman waiting tobe transferred to Kingston Peniten- tiary escaped from the Don Jail. He had made a key for his cell door from the handle of a. pail

TIIE TERM NERVOUS INDIGESTION ,1 . r/ One of the terms which the pro- fession and patients themselves have] used for many years is now in dam’

ger of passing out of existence. This is the term "nervous indigestion."
