All the papers submitted as a reenlt of their ef- forts dealt with questions of practical ims portance, in which the farmers of this province are just now deeply interested ; and the presence of Professor Gilbert and Mr. Hubbard, to encourage the movements towards improved poultry and egg pro- duction and agricultural education, was a decided hit. Mr. Gilbert’s stirring address and apt remarks will, we have ne doubt, move many persons to immediately set about the reorganization of their poultry yards and their methods of peultry man- agement. We shall in the course of a few days publish a report of Mr. Gilbert’s ad- dress, together with most of the papers that were read before the Association, and an Outline of the more important diseus- sions. The resolutions passed by the As- sociation are of more or less pressing im- portance, and ought to receive the atten. tion of the Dominion Governmen’ at an early date. Some of them—as that eub- mitted by Mr. John A. McDonald, of Hermanville—require but little consid:ra- tion and should be disposed of at once. -——— oom « ‘THEIR LAST KICK _ HavinG, with heavy odds in their favor, been defeated inthe bye elections of New London, Tignish, Belfast and Murray Harbor, and being practically ina mino- rity in the Legislature, it is essential that the government of Premier Farquharson, should show by what tenure they continue to hold office. So they have caused peti tions to be filed against the return of Messrs McLean and Prowse. They justify their retention of office by attacking the succeseful candidates. This ie their last kick. The attentive listener can easily hear, in these election protest*, the death rattle that precedes dissolution. ——_ A GOOD SELECTION AT a convention of the Liberal-Cone servatives of the Bedeque district, held yesterday, Meesrs Noil McQuarrie and Artemas Howatt were nominated candi. dates for the representation of the district in the Legislat've Assembly. We congratu- late the Conservatives upon this selection anc look forward to a successful engage- —=—» mett with the enemy at the first oppor: tunity. ———————— Ee ESTEEMED EXCHANGES, Buffalo Express: On the whole those Canadian troops are geouine heroes, They carried the refugees’ babies on the march bacs from Douglas. Hamilton Herald: Writing to the Tablet, the chief Romar Catholic journal of Great Britain, Dr. Levds affirms that Roman Catholice do not suffer from any civic or pulitical disabilities in the Transvaal. Ia reply the Tablet produces evidence te the contrary, and proves Leyds to be a picturesque and versatile liar. Montreal Gazette : A detailed liet of the gifts to the first Canadian contingent for South Africa shows that the Montreal men went out provided with most Bibles and the Toronto men with most whiskey and playing carde. It realy looks as if Toronto was not as good as it pretend to be when it denounces Montreal for allew- ing the band to play in Sobmwer Park on Sundays. orn FARMERS’ AND DAIRY- MEN'S ASSOCIATION Importarut Resolutions Passed. The Association met again on Friday forenoon. Vice President Bredie tock the chair, and Mr. W.L,. Cotton read his paper on “The Co-operation of Farmers,” suggesting that the prisciple of co-opera- tion, successfully applied in reepect to the production of butter and cheese, might with profit, be applied, also to the produc- tion of lambs, sheep, hoge, poultry and egges,—and other things. The suggestion was favorably received, the President, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Fred Bovyer, Mr. Moffatt, Senaior Ferguson, Mr. George Crockett and oivers taking part ip the discussion. Mr. Jeremiah S. Clarke, of Bay View, followed with a capital paper on“ The Farmers’ Orchard,” descriptive of the con- ditiens of neglect which have subsisted i» the paetand suggesting more care and improved culture in the future. Mr. Clarke’s paper received the unqualified commendation of Senator Ferguson, the President, Mr. Meffatt and others, and was profi'ably discus*ed for some time. Then Mr. Cyrus Crosby, of Boashaw, read his paper on “Libraries for Farmers” insisting upen the value and necessity of & ready means of intellectual culture, apart from the party newspapers, and pointing out that the settlements in whieh libraries were established years ago are now the most iatelligentand progressive. The President, Mr. J. C. Clark, Mr. Dunean Munn and others, spoke of ihe peper as one of the best of the many ex- cellent ones that had been read before the Association. Votes of thanks were unanimously passed to the writers of the various papers. Mr. Fred. Bovyer, of Georgetown, sub mitted the following resolution :— “ Whereas, the Dominion Goverament has up to this time, failed to provide this Provinee with the promised direct ocean steamship service to Great Britain, and the present rates ou farm produce to the Atlantic winter port of Halifax and St. John are unreasonably high, and car-load threugh rates @n live stock are not granted at all, causing greatiy depreciated value of our sheep, cattle, horses and other farm ex ports,— **Resolved, That this Association con- siders that itis theduty of the Dominion Governmest to give reasonable through rates over the Prince Edward Isiand Railway, the steamship ferry service over the Straits of Northumberland and the Intercolonial railway to the Atlantic ports ;and tha! the secretary be directed toforward to the Hon. Sir Louis Davies a copy of this re-olution.” Mr. Bovyer supported the resolution with a short speech, contrasting the rates of freight paid by P. E. Islaod exporters with those paid by shippers on the main- land and pointing out that reasonabiy low through rates to Halifax and St. John would, to some extent, make up for the unfairness and cause of complaint result - ing from the fact that a direct ocean steamship service has not been provided between P. EH. Island and Great Bri- tain, Senator Ferguson agreed with Mr. Bov- yer and hoped that the Government would remore the disability under which ex- porters from this Province vow labor. In 1895 the wister rates on The Stanley had been equalized with those of the summer steamers. But there are eti!] three local rates te be paid instead of the one through ratc that ought to.be levied. On the maix- Jand, shippers get the benefit of “the long baul ” We are certainly entitled to through rate«. The resolution was svconded by Mr. Moffatt, of Mayfield, and psseed unanim- ously. Mr. J. A. McDonald, of Hermanville: moved the following resuiution : Whereas the trade in pure bred poultry and eggs for hatching wil! be active, owing to the impetus given the poultry interests by the vieit of Prof. Gilbert and the introduetion of the fattening station, And Whereas the trade in pure bred stock for the improyement of our dairy cattle, | cheep and ewine in this Province is now growing to large dimensione, And Whereas a!! pure bred animals are carried by the Express Companies aad cannot safely be carried by freight, And whereas there are now but tvvo exprees offices in this Province; And ‘whereas the Canadian Expreas RR RR ees SUITE AT A makes’ this suite A GOOD PARLOR MODERATE PRICE This is what yon get in our solid Walnut $24 Cotton Tapestry Suite. seats, is trimmed with plush, and finished up in good style—The cash discount of 5 p.c.

The resolution was, after a short dis- cussion carried cvanimouely. Senator Ferguson thea submitted the following resolution :— “ Resolved, that in the opinion of this Asenciation, it is the duty of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, to collect, tabulate and disseminate, with regularity, statistics | relating to agriculture.” Senator Fe: guson pointed out the practi- cal value ot euch statistics and the fact that Canada is the only British country im which they are nt -upplied. Mr. Fred Bovyer seconded the resolu. tion, and it passed unanimously. Mr. Fred Turwer expressed great regret that Professor Gilbert had not been per- mitted to stay in this Proviace longer than ome week and moved tha’ a request be forwarded to the Mirister of Agriculture, by telegraph, tur ysermirsion to the Pros fessor te stay anotber week. Carried unanimeusly. Mz. Turner moved that a vote of thanks be given the President and Secretary for their succeseful efforts in respect to the meeting and the excellent programme ar- ranged. Carried unanimously. _ a SOME FRIENDLY ADVICE. ** Hello, o!'d man ; how are you feeling to day ?” ** Rotten.” ** Dyspepsia bad still ?” * Ye.” ** Did Tablets ?” 7? ¥en.” ** Do you any good ?” es I io.” “What?

But can’t expect a medicine to cure you taking it the way you started Dodd’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
