Much Useful Information.
Al. your request, I will will try to
give you some information about the
way in which dairying is carried on in
Prince Edward Island. Allow me, first
Y
duction. on the climate and conditions
of that country in general, so that you
may judge of the advantage the
farmers of the Island enjoy over those
of other countries. '

The soil is red sandy loam, easy to
work. Although the land does _not seem
to be very strong, still it yields heavy
crops of grain but it needs frenquent
dressings of dung to maintain its fer-
tility. Every sort cf grain, except corn,
is grown; though corn is Sometimes
grown in small quantities, the nights
be .srezular
taining the fertility of the soil; just the
reverse. The chief crops were oats,
sold off the farm, potatoes and -hay.
Everything was sent away, so that the
fertility of the Soil was much more
worked out of it than if these produce
had been consumed onthe farm. The
soil of the Island is able to yield heavy
crops of grain, which would do for
feeding cows for winter d iirying.
The cows are of all kinds. though one
can perceive signs that goto prove
that the farmers are entering on a
course of improvements as regards
their herds. not only as to their in-
crease in number, but also as to the
breeds kept/1`hough the progrt si is slow
it will certainly be realized, for the
farmers appreciatethe importance of
good cows, and as some have succeeded
in improving their herds. their success
will lead othi-rs to imitate them, and
the results will be the same as the re-
sults:realized eleswhere.
In some districts Aryshires have
been introduced. and seem to be popu-

cat-es the cows suffer from cold. There

As I said before and I repeat it. as
long as farmers persist in the p'actico

cans we shazl always hav -. more than
ever. bad fl-av rs in the milk. I have
pointed out this error to many of the
farmers, and a gook many of them see
that it ought to be put an end to. but
they say that if they put an end to this
practice on their own f-arms, they wil'
not get a cent more for their milk, un-
less the suppression is°general; unfor-
tunately, they are right. Still there is a
remedy ; and if it were applied, not
only would it improve the quality of
Canadian cheese. but it would get rid
of half the inferior cheese we now see
on the market. The remedy is this: the
buyers do not make enough difference

ought to be pi-iced according to quality;
three classt s might be made, so that
the man that makes good cheese ,should
receive a good price,and he who makes
bad cheese a had price. I know that this
A ‘plan will not receive the cordial appre-

be made`for cheese. This question de-

who are iii alposit`ipp.:to,i fdefend it will

The present state of trade offers no

the ualit of his cheese If askrlted

The dormer mode of farming had by maker turns out cheese superor to his

for it. Suppose the proprietor pays this
man $10.00 more than the neighbor
gets, on account of his superior ski.ll,he
make though he can see a difference of
at least a half-cent in favour. of the
cheese, made by the skilled maker.
;Hence, an actual encouragement to pro-
prieto's of cheeseries to hire none but
second-rate makers, provided they can
make cheese that will pass on the mar-
ket at the rr-ant rate, or market price.
In the present state of business, good
cheese helps the sale of bad, and the
man v ho mnki s bad cheese knows that
and will go on making bad* cheese as
long as it is so; but if. by leaving off
paying- a good price for his make, we
establish a :system that forces him to
turn out good cheese, either he will
improve the qu .lity of his gcods, or he'
will have to give up making, in which
latter case he will probably be replaced
by a better maker.
