When talking free trade and protection to the
farmers our free trade politicians forget that the
farmer is both selling and buying. He buys in the
course of a life time a few agricultural implements
and his sympathetic free trade friend solemnly in-
forms him that he is being robbed by the protected
manufacturer and that this duty should be cut off.
l,The awakened farmer, and they are nearly all awake
now, retorts that when he buys a hundred dollars
worth of agricultural implements he sells a thousand
1 dollars worth of agricutural products, and that it is
for the latter he needs both protection and a market.
He wants the Canadian market for his Canadian pi'o-
duct and thinks it exceedingly unfair that this mar-
ket should be flooded with cheap American pork,oats
butter, &c. He buys an expensive agricultural im-
plement once in ten years; he sells his products every
l year- What he would save on his agricultural im-
plements if the duty were knocked off he loses in a
season by unequal competition with the American
farmer. What the Canadian farmer needs is protec-
tion for his agricultural products and a home mar-
ket in which he can dispose of them. These he can
have under a system of moderate protection; 'he can-
not have them under free trade.
t
pure bred cow and,no doubt, the pure bred cow is
worthy of the best that can be said of her, provided
individual, cow or human, is what counts. Pedigree
will not fill the pail of the one or the purse of the ot-
her and in any case ancestry, is a doubtful peg to
hang expectations upon.
ll We were shown the other day the monthly re-
ceipts of a farmer, Mr- Robert Rhynes, for milk de-
-livered by him at the Dunstaffnage Cheese Factory
for the year endifng October 31 last. They totalled
‘ the handsome sum of $1018.56. On enquiry we dis-
covered that the herd consisted of eight cows, si
of them grade Ayrshires and two just “cows” with-
out any known family history and known to the
breeders as “scrubs” Some of the cows were heif-
iers freshened for the first time in June. The cas
means the total; all the eight calves were fed 'an
reared and are now in stock, the family was sup-

be mentioned is that Mr. Rhynes is a comparative
stranger in the province. Ten years ago, with ho
previous experience in farming, his profession being
railway engineering,he purchased the farm on which
the above record was made. The farm was so oor
secod year by fertilizing one field he secured a little
more than his seed but he had learned his lesson. He
fertilized thoroughly as far as his fertilizer, seaweed,
barn manure and compost, would go. At present
his whole farm is like a garden, fertilized by a herd
of over twenty cattle, several horses, hogs, poultry
and all that goes to make a farm comfortable and
desirable to live on. As an immigrant farmer he is
undoubtedly one of the best advertisements the pro-
vince has ever had as he certainly has a good story to
tell his friends in Scotland who are looking towards
Canada. His success is of course due to good, carc-
ful, common sense 'management with hard work un-
til he had got his farm into the condition in which it
is today. What he has accomplished is possible on
any farm in Prince Edward Island as it is scarcely
possible that there is a poorer farm than his was
when he bought it ten years ago.
