FARMING IN ONTARIO.
| & TELLING ARTICLE IN REPLY TO THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.
Mr, ©. C. James, Deputy Minister of Agri-
eulture for Ontario, Corrects Some Errors
, in aw Most Convincing Fashion—Interest
ing to American, Satisfactory to Cana-
dian Readers.
The New York Independent recently opied a thirty line article about ‘Farm ‘mg in Canada” from the Springfield Republican which contained errors and aid not do justice to this province. Mr C. C. James’ reply is herewith printed
Ontario isa large province. From the mouth of the Albany river on James Bay > Pelee Island in Lake Erie the vistatice is about 750 miles, while from the eastern limit on the St. Lawrence to the western on the Lake of the Woods is about 1,000 miles Its total area is 220,000 square miles; larger than the nine North Atlantic States by one third; larger than Maine, New Hamp shire, Vermont, New York, Pennsy]l- vania and Ohio combined. But a small portion is as yet settied; in fact. eighty per cent. of the entire province is yet in the pe session of the Provincial Crown Lands Department; and while the larger portion unsold is valuable principally for its timber and minerals, there are several millions of acres of the finest agricultural land as yet unoccu- One section lies along the Rainy river, adjacent to Minnesota, the other, the Valley of Lake Temiscamingue, is t» the north of Ottawa These two districts are in the same latitude as Northern Minnesota The former dis trict is covered with deep, black, allu- vial soil, and the latter with rich clay overlaid with humus,
‘The old settled portion of Ontario lies in the triangle bounded on one side by the Ottawa and Lake Nipissing, on the second by the St. Lawrence, Lake On- tarioand Lake Erie, and on the third by Lake St. Clair, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. It is worth while open- ing a map to look at the configuration. With the exception of a short portage between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake on the north, it is practically an isiand, washed by the waters of two large rivers and three great lakes. In addi- tion note its shape, like a wedge pushed down into the heart of the great agri- cultural States, and you will begin to realize that its position and surround ings apparently fit it for a great agri- cultural land. Its backbone is the western branch of the Archean rocks, the material out of which rich clay is made. The alluvial deposits are most noticeable in the extreme southwest, where the soil rivals that of the richest prairie. While the northern point of Outario is an ocean port on James Bay, the southern point is further south than Boston and Chicago. The southern limit of Ontario is below the 42d paral- ‘1: the northwest boundary line of the United States is the 49th. Practically all of the 2,114,321 inhabitants of On- tario are to the south of a straight line drawn from the Soo to Portland, Me. Within this area are 23,000,000 acres or occupied farm lands.
Grain—The writer of the article in question is in error as to wheat ‘produc tion in Ontario. Although wheat grow- ing is gradually giving place to stock raising and dairying, Ontario is yet the principal wheat province of Canada, as the following statement for 1893 will show:
~
Ontario. Manitoba. B OROBs cscus scons sssq Ree 1,008,640 Rushels of wheat... 21,731,311 15,615,923 isusheis per acre.... 17.10 15.56
The average yield of wheat, barley 2nd oats for the twelve years 1882.'$3 was higher than the average for any State in the Union. Oats and peas are grown in all parts of the province. The prime barley so much desired by New York State maisters is not confined to any one part of the province. The tall southern varieties of corn ripen only in the counties along Lake Erie, but the corns of the Northern States ripen in all parts of Ontario. Corn growing, how ever, is not so extensive as in the North Central States, Itis the principal en rilaze crop, producing as high as twenty
ions per acre. Wheat is raised in the Peace River Valley of the Northwest
Verritory, over 900 miles further north than St. Paul
3Fruit.—Peaches of the finest quality are grown in the southern counties, the two leading sections being the Niagara district and the Essex County district. Grapes grow and ripen almost every- where, the annual production being 30, - 00,000 pounds. At present they are ~etailing in Toronto as low as two cents a pound, Plums, cherries and pears are found in various parts of the province, nnd apples everywhere. The number of ¢ oducing apple trees on the farms of Ontario is placed at 7,000,000. In 1893, i:: the Liverpool market, Canadian apples @->e quoted at prices higher than Amer- iéun apples. The only apples equaling those of Ontario at Chicago were some from Nova Scotia and the Pacific Coast. Since then a large trale in apples has developed between Ontario and Ameri- can iusarkets. The exhibits at the World's Fair will give some idea of our adaptation to that industry. This pro vince exhibited 14 varieties of raspber- ries, 7 of blackberries, 68 of strawberries, 23 of cherries, 18 of currants, gooseberries, 44 of peaches, 88 of pears, | 82 of plums, 108 of grapes, 146 of apples, many other fruits, including even figs grown out-of doors. In the competition Ontario secured 10 provin- cial awards, 14 district awards and 15 individual awards—39 in all—a result *:neqnaled by any single State or foreign country.
}foney.—Closely allied with fruit is honey. This province produces annu mily 8,000,600 pounds of honey from its .05.000 hives. At Chicago, Ontario se. ' cured seventeen awards against twenty- eyrht of the entire United States. Dairying. —Every province is now rapidly developing its dairy industry; Hut in Ontario the making of cheese has

Se assumed very large proportions.” s here are 897 factories} producing-in this year of drouth 90,0603000 pounds of cheese. The exports of cheese from Canada for the year ending June 30th, 1893, were 133,946,335 pounds, whereas those from th: United States were only 81 350,923 pounds The total butter production of Ontario in 1890 wag 56,865,061 pounds The number of public creameries 1s In- creasing every year. The results of the dairy competition at Chicago are doubt- less fresh in the reader's mind.
Live Stock.--In the production
of
| stock there is no other portion of equal
size in North America where are to be
found so many different breeds of horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. We have heavy horses in large numbers. In
hackneys, Americo-Arabs and thorough- breds, the Ontario horses took practic- aliy everything at Chicago. Here are to be found Shorthorns, Gallowavs. Polled Angus, Herefords, Devons, Jer- sevs, Guernseys, Holsteins and Ayr shires. The statement that Canada is adapted for sheep only to a limited ex tent requires modification. Expert breeders from Britain have pronounced Ontsrio as the ideal home of the comb- ing-wool sheep. In nine not including Merinos, Ontario alone took at Chicago 241 awards, against 192 for the whole of the United States. In large swine the United States is ahead of Canada, but the Berkshire and the Improved Yorkshire are to be found in all parts of Ontario.
Poultry.—-In the seven vears 1884-'90 Canada shipped to the United States 89,500,000 dozens of eggs. After the enforceinent of the McKinley Bill the exports fell to 2,664,942 dozens in 1893, while those cf Great Britain increased. In 1893 there were 7,114,436 fowls of all kinds on Ontario farms, and the pro ducts were valued at $3,000,000 On tario exhibited at Chicago, and took 487 awards against 698 taken by the United States. A large portion of the exhibit was purchased to go abroad.
What can be meant by the statement as tothe ‘‘general inability of Canadi- ans to barter products” in view of the fact that Canadian apples, cheese, bacon and hams, peas and other articles, bring the top prices in the British mar kets?
in Ontario there are 175,000 farmers whose farms average 130 acres, having
classes,
a total value for land, buildings, stock and implements of $970,000,000. In ad
dition there are 110,000 ovcupiers of lots under ten acres in extent A country that can ripen the peach and the grape, produce cheese that, in its class, brings the highest price in Europe, develop cattle and sheep unsurpassed on the continent, must surely have fine agri- cultural possibilities. It can be said without hesitation that in yeneral agri- culture, including grain growing, fruit raising, dairying and stock production, there is no other portion of North America that to-day excels in Ontario. The writer of the article in question evidently has not been aware of all the facts, at least so far as Ontario is con cerned.
Ferret vs. Eagle.
“J saw an eagle killed last summer in rather a strange way,” said Fred J. Hancock, of Harrisburg. ‘‘One after noon while out hunting I noticed an im- mense eagle flying directly overhead, bearing in its talons a burden that ap- parently worried it. I noticed that the bird began to show signs of weakness, but was somewhat surprised when a moment or two later the bird began descending rapidly and soon fell to the ground. Hastening to thespot, | found the eagle dying, yet firmly grasping in its powerful talons a large-sized ferret as its prey. The animal was fighting frantically for its freedom, and had killed its captor. The eagle had evi dently stolen a march upon his cunning victim, but greatly mistook its game. The ferret was held in such a manner as toinflict no vital injury. Its head being entirely at liberty, it had torn and lacerated its captor in a terrible manner and at last killed it.”
The Gratefal Cockroach,
The following story should surely draw tears from the student of the humbler forms of natural life. The narvator vouches for its veracity, and leaves it to the gentle reader to appraise the value of the voucher.
‘I found,’ he says, ‘a cockroach strug gling in a bowl of water. I took half a walnut-shell for a boat, put him into it, gave him two wooden toothpicks for oars and left him. Next morning he had put a piece of white cotton thread on one of the toothpicks and set it on end asasignal of distress. He hada hair on the other toothpick, and there he sat a-fishing. The cockroach, ex hausted, had fallen asleep. The sight melted me to tears. I took that cockroach out, gave him a spoonful of gruel, and left. The animal never for got my kindness; and now my house is chock -full of bis friends and relations. —The Mainlander, B. C
a A Small-Boy Pessimist,
When alittle boy Sheridan Le Fanu wrote the following essay on the life of man
“‘A man’s life naturally divides itself into three parts—the first, when he is planning and contriving all kinds of Vilisiny and rascality; that is the period of youth and innocence. In the second he is found putting in practice all the villainy and rascality he has con trived: that is the flower of manhood and prime of life. The third and last period is that when he is making his soul and preparing for another worid; that is the period of dotage.’
Liailroads in France,
In 1893, 389 miles of new railroad were opened for traffic in France, mak- ing the total of the country 22,362 miles, of which 19,748 miles belong to the six great companies, 1,609 to the state, 698 to branch railroad companies, 199 are not chartered, and 1388 miles are made in etc. Besides, there were at the end of the year 2,219 miles of local railroads, 188 miles of which
shops, yards,
were opened in 1893. There were also 1,033 miles of street railroad.
