But it is, evidently, true that he has prac tically lost control of his party. Between two stuols he has come to the ground, He tried tosit with those who cried “no Reme dial B claim a) .” and he tried to be with those who that the Manitoba Act sllows, It would, he imagined, be a the two and more. i | } > ld t ne grand stroke if he could combine in this ditferent forces. He succeeded when he moved the six months’ hoist to the Remedial Bill. Men who shouted “no coercion ” and men who called for more than the Remedial Bill allows voted to- gether in support of that motion But as soon as the combined effort to give the bill the hoist was defeated and it became ¢vi- devt that Mr. Greenway and his fellows would not adopt schools such as these of the Maritime Provinces, the combination fell to pieces and Mr. Laurier, who echem- ed io gain both classes opposed to the bill» bas ben left by both.

OUR DAIRY BUSINESS, Government Management Par- tially Withdrawn. PRO:ESSOR ROBERTSON THINKS DIRECTORS CAN DO BETTER FOR THE PATRONS. He Will Continue to Give Advice. Correspondence With Mr. Dillon, Agricultural and Dairy Commission- er’s Office. Ottawa, April 2, 1*96. Dear Mr. Ditrox,—I enclose you four copies of an open letter addressed to the shareholders and patrons of the Dairying Companies on Prince Edward Island. You may use these for publication in the newspapers on the Island, in erder that those to whom it is addressed may be in- formed in the quickest and most direct way of its contents, Iam having copies printed and sual: send you about 490 wien they are received from the Priating Bureau in the course of a few days. I have carefully considered the question of the cheere factories which should be managed by our department for at cast one more year. Taking into account the situation of the factories and the quantity of milk which was furnished to them last year, and the quantity which is likely to be received at them this year, | think our department should take charge of the fac- tories at Cardigan, Morell, Mount Stewart, O’Leary’s, Canpbelton, Murray Harter South and S*. Peter's Bay. These are ail the factories which received last year less than 40€,000 Ibs. of milk each. I think all the other factories can be managed quite as well by the directors of joint stock comparies themeelver, with your supervision and advice, as if our De- partment took the entire commercial re sponsibility. However, there are three other factories which received only a few thousand pounds of milk each more than the limit of 400,000 pounds; and from their circumstances, I think the dairy interests of the whole province require that we should continue the msanagem-at of them also for another year. These are Gowan Brae, Alberton and Murray Har- bor North. You are authorized to make arrange ments for taking charge of these ten fac- tories during the coming season. Oar Department will al-o take charge of the two new factories which are proposed for the Island. The sagacity of a Solomon might be taxed to its limit to decide which of the factories are to be considerei th favorite children of our department without disap- pointiug or offending those judged to te strong enough to go alone. Consequently I fear some of the directors and patrons of. some of the factories may be unwilling to agree with our decision, but if any error of judgment has been made it is a tribute to those directors, shareholders andi pa‘ rons who are expected hereafter to do better fur themseives than we hare b:en able to do for them hitherto. You will please render every possible assistance to the directors of the compan- ies who will take charge of their own factories in the matter of engaging cheese makers (if they have not already done so) and arranging for the purchase of factory supplies. You may expect me to visit the Island at leasttwice during the manufacturing season and you may assure the directors of these companies that no pains will be spared to give them every reasonable help to ensure the successful management of their business. At the end of the season I am confident most of them will be able to boast that they Lave managed the busi- ness better themselves than we were ever able to do it for-them. Iam, Yours very truly, Jas. W. Ronerrsox, Agricultural and Dairy Commissioner Mr. T. J. Ditxo0y, Charlottetown, P. E. I. Department of Agr‘culture, Ottawa, 23rd March, 1896. Tothe shareholders and patrons of the dairying companies on Prince Elward Island : Dear Sias,—-When I visited Prince Ed- ward Island in my official capscity as Dairy Commissioner in 1890, I alvocated the establishment of co-operative cheese factories and creameries. When a joint atock company of farmers was formed at New Perth to erect buildings fora cheese factory there,I was authorized by the Dominion Government to take the man- agement of it for one year, “« Fortunately, one of my valued assistants, Mr. T. J. Dillon, consented to goto Prince Edward Island to actas Dairy Superintendent for the Province. During the first season of 1892 all the business of the factory was undertaken by this Department. - The following year the directors of the Company took charge of the drawing of the milk and the disposal of the whey. ' Since 1892 co-operative dairying on the Island has grown very fast. At the beginning cf ths work in Prince Eiward Island, it was neither proposed nor intended that the Government should assume control-of manufacturing cheese and butter, and at no time since has it been the purpose to retain the contro! of the cheese factories and crameries, after sufficient educational help was fur- nished to enable the joint stock companies and patrons to manage the whole business successfully themselves. I think the time has now arrived when the larger cheese factories should be managed by the Directors of the companies owniag them; and I ask the farmers of Prince Ejward Island, who are interested in the success of these cheese factories, to again acc*pt my counse!— which I think has been use- ful tothem in the pa:t—and take the commercial responsibility of carrying on the business at the several factories into their own hands. I recommend the joint stock companies who own the several factories on Prince Edward Island, to take the business into their own handa, solely, because I think it is better for the dairy business on the Island that they should do so; and this course is consistent with the attitude and action of the Dairying Service of the Dominion Department of Agriculture since the work was begun. It is not to be taken as an intimation of the withdrawal of assistance and supervision on behalf of the Government; but for the stability, pro- gress and prosperity of the dairying move ment in Prince Edward Island, this is the wise course for them to pursne| I am con- fident the directors of the companies can carry ou the business at as low a cest for manufacturing and manarement as the charge which has been made by the Gov eroment, I have received communications from the directors of several of the factories, expressing anxiety lest the ku:iness should tacle. | go back, and in some cases, altogether fo down, if the commercial responsibility is = : = not taken for another year by this depart- ment. It is eaid on their behalf that the joint stock companies and patrons fear difficulties with which they may not be able to cope successfully, in three parts of the business, namely, (1) in the market ing of the cheese, (2) in the purchasing of supplies, such as renvet bandages, etc., aid (3) in the manufacturing of uniformly tine cheese throughout the season. I desire to point out under these three heads, what has been done and will be done to ensure continued success. 1. Marketing —This may be held to in- clude the selling of the cheese, the storing of the cheese, (if that be thought reces- sary), and (in that case), the obtaining of advances of money on account, in order that the patrons may receive ‘ome pay- ment every month for the milk supplied by them during the previous month. “I am informed that an agent of at least one firm that exports large quantities of Canadian cheese and butter, will be on Prince Edward Island during the season of 1896 to buy and ship cheese as they are ready for sale. Several firms in Great Britain, of excel- ien reputation, who import large quanti- ties of Canadian cheese and butter, are ready to receive cheese or butter from Prin e Edward [land on consignment, and to sell the same atthe highest prices obtainable, They are ready io make ar- rangements with Edward Island firms to advance up to 85 per cent. of the value of the cheese or butter at Charlottetown, when consigned to them. It is more thas probable that as much value can be obtained by selling the cheese regularly every month, as by hold- them until the autumn. In that case, no cold atorage for cheese would be required. Iam to take charge of afew of the emaller factories on the Island, where such help is really necessary, until the patrons are ready to supply larger quanti. ties of milk, and every Opportunity will be given to the directors of the companie* who manage their own factories, to sell their cheese at the time when I sell the cheese of the factories which are under my management. In case any circumstances should arise which may prevent the directors of the several companies from disposing of their cheese at satisfactory prices in auy of the ways which I have mentioned, if my services can be of substantial benefit to them the Government will doubtless grant me perinission god authority to act as salesman for the disposal of the cheese of even those factories on Prince Edward Island which are manage by the compaa- ies of farmers themselves. 2. Purchasing Factory supplies.— At least two firms, from whom I purcl a ed io the past, are ready to eell factory supplics of similar quality at equally low prices direct to the joint stock companies of farmers. A stock of these factory fur- nishings will be on band at sone ware- house or depot in Charlottetown. 3. Manufacturing uniformly fine cheese, —In most cases the directors of the com- panies can engage for 1896—.f they have not already done eo—the services of the cheese-maker who .wade the cheese at their factory during the past year, or made cheese at some Other factery on the Island. They can thus secure the services of ex perienced aod competent men, who know the details of the Lusiness thoroughly. To give the directors of the dairying companies information, which thev might not be able to obtain otherwise, an assi-t- ant instructor in cheese-making will be appoisted to help Mr. Dillon, in order (1) that all the factories ‘may be visited fre- quently ‘and regularly; (2) that instruction and advice may be given to the several cheese-makere, and (3) that a report on the condition of the fac- tory aud the quality Of the cheese may be furnished to the directors. This course will ea‘ail a larger expenditure of money on behalf of the department, than if the commercial control and management of the factories were continued by the Gov- ernment. Thechange ts not advised for the sake of reducing the expenditure on Prince Elward Island, but for the pur - pose of putting the business as quickly as possible upon a safe and satisfactory basis for future extension. The season of 1895 was a most difficult one in which to dispose of cheese at satis- factory prices. I look fora more active market in 1896. Tie stocks of cheese at the present time are reported to be small- er than they were at this season for several years. The make of cheese in Great Britain was much less in 1895 than in 1894, and the importations of cheese from Australasia have been considerably less during the past. winter than in former years. These facts all point to a steady and active demand forchees: daring the coming eummer. I regret the delay in making the final settlement with the patrons of the factor— ies for the business of 1895. Every effort has been made to obtain the highest pos- sible price and to be realy for a settlement wth the patrons at the earliest possib'e moment. Iam, Yours very truly, Jas. W. Roperrsox, Agricultural aud Dairy Commiseioner. i cata —Mail and Empire: That the Manitoba Government wished to come to an arrang:- ment is apparently improbable. Ther want to leave the question open, so that their crafty and agile friend, Mr. Laurier may face the country declaring in Ontario that the Federal Ministers are coercionista acting under the inspiration of the hier- archy, and in Quebec that they are op- pressing the race because they do not alopt Mr. Geotfrion’s coercive school scheme and force it upon the Manitoba people. But this incident nullifies the campaign of deception and misrepresenta- tion in advance. The Royal Commission- ers have been earnest and moderate in their efforts tosecure a solution in the provincial arena, and the answer they have received to their conciliatory and sinny ways isa proposal that might have b:en framed by Col. Bab Ingersoll. As Priestley’s surpassed all others in their black dress f- brics, so they have now surpassed themselves with their new creation, the “Eudora”. Priestley’s dress fabrics have a world-wide reputation for wear, for refinement and distinction of appearance, but the “Eudora” is a revel- ation of what the latest method and the best taste can accomplish. A thing is perfect until something better is announ- ced. The ladies were pleased with Pries- tley’s Henriettas ; they are in raptures over the “Eudora.” It perfectly repels the dust; it has an exquisite sheed; it wears long; and it has extra width and weight. Wrapped on “The Varnished Board,” and Priestley’s name stamped on every five yards. dy 36, Wanted at Once-—An ex- perienced dry goods salesman. No other need apply —James Paton & Co.
