A n glance at our farm life as it exists today will reveal the fact that not only have individual methods bee changed through changing conditions and recent dis- coveries but that the \vh0le agricultural system of the province has been changed through the changing de- mands of the market. Not so long ago our dairy pro- ducts found an _almost competitorless market in the shipyards and the lumber camps; the prices obtained were not renumerative as compared with those of to- day, but a dollar in those day`s went much further in the purchase of the then necessaries and luxuries of life and many farmers were able to lay good and sub- stantial foundations for sons whose dollars came more abundantly-and went more prodigally. The virgin soil of those days required no scientific treatment; it yielded abundantly wherever scratched and planted; expenses were nominal, harvests were sure, there was a steady market for grain and potatoes and the size of the crop raised was limited only by the quantity of land that could be sown and' planted in the time avail- able. The raising of potatoes and oats became the recognized system of farming and a man's success as a farmer was measured by the number of bushels he raised. While this system of farming was being car- ried on “successfully” another process was at \v0rk which spellerlfailurc, namely, depletion of soil ferti- lity. The soil, no longer virgin and rich, was -becom- ing cxhausted; the crops became lcss and less abund- ant year by year. A number of widcawake farmers foresaw thc inevitable result of this system of farming and went in for stock raising. The co-operative leflective, indeed the only. meansnby. which soil»'.._ic_i1il-l _ity could bc conserved -while__larger._an‘d. larger crops? were beingiproduced. _ f ” A ` '_ _ This is the system now being preached by OUP agricultural experts, by the agricultural press* and by‘ the agricultural colleges. More 'dairy cattle on every farm, stricter attentionlto the quality of dairy pro- ducts, the development of side lines such as the raising’ of hogs ` which can be fed on the by-products of the d.airy,_the raising of poultry which also can be economically fed on the grains &c., unsuitable for seed or milling.- We are still shipping too many potatoes and too much grain, notwithstanding the constant preaching .of our agriculturists. The efforts of the Department _of Agriculture, both-federal and provincial- to intrp- duce a better quality of seed grain are not as gene_r-_` ally seconded as they should be. Prizes are yearly: given at our seed -fairs, our provincial exhibitions and for fields of standing grain, not forthe purpose* -of raising moregrain for shipment _but in order _that 'bet- ter seed shall be available for' 'our ‘o`wi1i_`f:'irn1ers» thus enabling them to grow 'more grain for feeding their stock. Using inferior seed is absolute waste; selling either grain or potatoes is waste also except at such prices as will compensate for the fertility expended in producing them and, as far as possible, all the pedi- grced seed grown in our province should- be sold to farmers in this province until all our_farmers are in a position to raise such seeds for themselves. ` , --;--)'x(-l-- SUMMER TIME SATURDAY “lies _ The Charlottetown City Council has res_0lved'- to adopt Summer Time during _luly and August. At mid night Friday the hands of the clock will be ad-' vanced an hour, and thereafter everybody in -the _City will be expected to rise an hour earlier-than usual, commence work an hour' earlier, and leave _‘off _an hour earlier in the evening. Those places of business that formerly opened at 8 a. m., will now open at 7 a. m., (called 8 a. m.,) and close at 5 p. m., called (6 p. rn. This will give employers and employees 4 alike longer evenings during the two principal summer months. On Sunday church services will be advanced' an hour, and those \vh0 at present find eleven o’cl0cl<~ inconvenient will perhaps discover ten 0’cl0cl< much more to their liking. It will take a week or two - to become accustomed to the new orderof things, and by the time we get settled down, we shall have 'to revert to the old order-unless the authorities see tit- to extend Summer Time`to include September. l The railway, steamboat, post office, telegraph and law courts will adhere to the standard time. S0 will the farmers in the royalty, and everybody outside the business' community of Charlottetown. We shall,” therefore, have two times for a period *of two months' so that it will bc necessary, in making announcements dairying system gave a new and a healthier turn, more cattle were kept, dairying was found to be the most of any kind, to be explicit, stating both' Standard andy Civic Time. - .

Aside from the many inher- chauges which charoctexflzedahe at- ternoon, however, the only thing of importance brought out ln the examlu- . ation of General Hughes was his deff-. nite statement that ln the purchase of the defective ammunition ln -quen- tlon from the Mllltln Department and its later sale to the Brltlsh Admiral- " ty Cnl.
