AL SPEECHES | million dolars vearly wonld mark the ex tent of our butter, cheese and fruit output. SPEECH, COL. BLAIR'S Colonel Blair, Superintendent of the Maritime Experimental Farm“ Nappan, NS. was the next speaker. His remarks were of an eminently practical character, i he was listened to with the closest at on. After expressing his apprecia- tion of the remarks made by His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, he said that this was the first time he ever had the pleasure f meeting the farmers of Prince Edward island, and he would therefore confine his remarks chietly to agriculture, lying as it loes at the foundation of every country’s He had examined the different much an tenli pros pe ru Island Cheese had been consigned to & Montreal house. This he caid was utterly without foundation. It was true that 15, 000 boxes of cheese had been shipped to Montreal, but for cold -storage purposes only, pending shipment to England, where the price has lately advanced. He believed the patrons woul l obtain a fair price for their cheese, the sapertority of which is ackno ‘ ledged. After three rousing cheers had been given for Lieut.-Governor Howlan, Col. Blair, Mr, Dillon, Hon. D. Gordon and the Queen, the meeting closed. KING'S COUNTY EXHIBITION articles on exhibition, and was pleased with what he had seen.

The pat hes of fo ider corn growing on the hil- locks evidenced that the farmers were live to the importance of proper feeding and of dairying. Then, to further point and to show what results may be reached in this work, His Honor referred to the province of Quebec, with which our Island people compare most fav and the gigantic strides made there He tho ght that in a few years the demand for creamery butter would be so great, on account of its excellence, that it would be next to impos- to obtain a pound of home-made but- a his remarks, OTrabiy, in the « xport of cheese. geile te hrifty ghousewives should bear in mind that at the factory more value is obtained ma of 4s pound of milk than by the old home-made process.

The Professsor was strongly con- vineed with respect to the favorable condition of the Island for fruit cul:ure. in fact he thought the Island compared equally with the far famed Annapolis Val- ley in apple growing. In this connection the speaker gave Statistics of Canada’s fruit ex port toEngland in order to demonstrate the valueof fruu!zrowing. Healsotouched upon fruit and yegetable canning, giving a meed of praise to Messrs. Jones and McRae, of Pownal, for their enterprise in lnaugurat- ing such a factory. He said the Leader ofthe Government took a deep interest in this matter and is contemplating the sending of a young man to the Horticultural College with a view tostudy- ing fruit culture, and then applying his knowledge to the improvement of our orchards and the advancement of this im- portant industry. The Island has already gained a most enviabie reputation for its cheese, and is capable of doing the same in fruit. “ Organize a horticultural society for yourselves.*’ Every man who is able cheese factory 13 able to carry on a canning factory. In the otber provinces buyers go round to the orchards and purchase the fruits. The annual ont put of some orchard in Annapolis if froin $1000 to $1,500. Judge Weatherhie of Nova Scotia bas an orchard of over 7,600 trees, and that gentleman had stated to His Honor that the Island was splendidly adapted for fruit growing The monetary value of the Judve’s orchard was some thing away up, and he is well qualified to express an opinion. Young men, said His Honor, take part of your fathers’ farms and go into fruit-growing; stay at home, and the girls will then stay, tuo. It is a His tO Carry on a sure and ea: y wey to get an income. with ours, Sut vour climatic are Lhe same as ours, and you must look to our reports to see what we are doing now thai we are in a position to help you. He was pleased to see the dykes in this Province, and to notice the steps taken to the reclamat on ot waste é The soil ol past vears, he sé id, is being impoverich ed by excessive cropping, and our exper! mic nts are to find out how to obviate this. Science has been brought to bear, and we act yn accordance with the chemists In all constituents necessary ouly three or ‘our are taken away by excessive crop r, and these u ust be returned to the soil. The farmerisa producer of raw material; but he should aleo be a manu- facturer of beef, butter and cheese with that raw material. He would not ask therm to stop growing roots and grain; but he pointed out what proportions of fertili rs were taken from an acre planted in vats, and showed the cost of replacing Take this grain, feed it to the cow, convert it into butter and cheese, return the manure to the farm, and in this way a large percentage of the ingredients are returned to the coil. This can be continued year = after year and the fertility of the soil is increas- ed. The same applies to hay. You see therefore that you must become manufac- tures as well as producers, of raw materia). Cheese and buiter take least from the farm of all the products. You appear to be careful of the fertilizers about the barns, which are the best of all fertilizers. When short of this he recommended the use of bone-meal and potash. He deprecated carelessness in the making of compost-. Everything in the shape of fertilizers should be taken care of,and not applied injadicour; ly. Experiments in the application of fer tilizers have been carried on at the Ex perimental Farm and his experience was that as much depended on cultivation as these ingre lients. in the application of fertilizers. The soil must be worked up. Plants live just as animals do, by breeding and feeding. You can supply tar more manure than the plants get hold of. In one of the experiments at the Farm we placed 40 cartloads of fertilizers on one acre, 30 on another and 20 ona third, and as would be seen in their report, the largest yield was from the land on which the 20 cartloads was placed. This land, though poor, was well cujiivated. Your soil is open and porous, and working it gives the little rootlets a chance to acquire food. Care in cultivation is far better than large quan- tities of manure. Putting in too much lime is a great mistake. Ten or twelve bushels to an acre is ample. We must work with our heads as wellas with our muscles; farmers m:® thinkand study as well as the professor or the mechanic. With the great advances made in com- merce, Canada must continue to come to the frent. To-day she stands head and shoulders over avy country that ships to England. But our butter is not up to what it ought to be. Denmark has been most successful in the batter market because her people learned to do the work thoroughly. Knowledge is power, and we inust learn how to apply it. Proceeding, Col. Blair went on to express his pleasure at what had been said by the Lieutenant- Governor concerning fruit, the truth of which was evidenced by the exhibit to- day. An extensive grower of fruit from the Annapolis Valley had expressed him- self as amazed at the fruit. This exhibit is certainly most creditable. A gentleman who thought that fruit could only be given in the Annapolis belt, changed his mind after seeing your fruit. The plums grown here are certainly excellent. He advised the farmers to send their boys to the Horticultural School at Annapolis. They had started a School of Agriculture Truro a skort time ago, aad it was He strongly advised his hearers to organize a Horticultural and Agricultural Society. Sach an insti- tution will always have his hearty co- in doing good work. operation. The opposition to the Experi- mental Farm and other public insti- tutions of a similar description, came not from the professional men but from the farmers themselves. The people of New Brunswick were taking more in- terest in our work than those of Nova Scotia. But many of the men who were at first opposed to our work are now work iog hand in hand, He wanted the farmers of this Province to get in touch with them. It is a useful and interesting study to visitthe Farm and examine the scores of variteies of grain,vegetables, etc., growing there with a view to the selection of the best. He advised the farmers to send for the three pound bag of grain dis- tributed free. The selection of seed is one of the most important factors in farming. Quality is wanted rather than quantity. Get the seed for oats that will give 40 Ibs, to the bushel. At the Farm they are also experimenting in feeding cows, ete. . He never saw such corn as was shown here today. Ground for ensilage and put into a sily it will almost make a cow langh. With science to assist there was no rea- son why the farmer should not be able to obtain the best results from a herd of cows. He concluded by expressing his appreciation of the hearing given him, and hoped that at an early date he would have the pleasure and privilege of addressing a convention of farmers, when he would go more fully into details aud practical work. (Applause). MR. HAMILTON AND MR. DILLON. Mr. Johu Hamilton, of New Perth, was introduced, but as the day was far advanc- ed, he did not read his paper, which is a very able onejon Farming in this Province, from an historical standpoint. We hope to have the pleasure of placing this paper betore our readers at an early day. Mr. T. J. Dillon, Dairy Superintendent did not make a speech for the same reason. He, however, took occasion to give a straight denial to the libel recently circul- x. 4 idid all | work in touch | ‘Conclusion of the Prize List. | We publish below the remainder of the | Prize List of the King’s County Exhibi ltion.
