A person going from Charlottetown to Cavendish, by way of Bradalbane, has, necessarily, to pass by “The Devil’s Punch Bowl,” and through Bradalbane Valley. But the way is pictur- esque, and the end delightful. Cavendish is, admittedly, one of the best farming settlements. in this Province, ‘‘Plenty there a residence has found.” Most of the farmsteads are nestled in evergreen groves, cool in summer, warm in winter—adding beauty at al! times to the uidulating land- scape. The pleasing impression conveyed by the appearance of the place is heightened decidedly by intercourse with its people. There are few settlements in this Province —-perhaps none—in which farmers can con- verse as easily and correctly, and can dis- cuss such a wide rangevf subjects as intel- ligently, as those of Cavendwh. But this ig not wonderful, seeing that many of them pass their leisure hours in the very best company in the worli. The Cavendish Liter- ary Society has long possessed an excellent library—which now contains about three hundred volumes of the works of classic authors of ancient and modern times, The reading of these, with literary meetings throughout the winter, and schools and churches equal to the best, have had a manifest efiect upon the community. It is much to be wished that of every settle- ment in the country it might be said—as of Cavendish —that, — ‘* Books are yours, Within whose silent chamber treasure lies Preserved from age to age; more precious far Than that accumulated store of gold, And orient gems which for a day of need The Sultan hides within ancestral tombs.” But, to the Convention. “ The President, Walter Simpson, Ezq., took the chair at about half-past t.vo o'clock on Friday after- noon. Mr. H. A. Stewart, of Hamilton, Secretary-Treasurer of the Association, then read the minutes of last meeting and submitted a short extempore report in which the services of Professors Robertson and Shuttleworth were acknowledged with thanks, and in whicha favorable reference was made tu Me. McLean’s excellent essay on ‘Soil Water.” It was also suggested that action should be taken in respect to an Experimental Farm for the Province. After some discussion concerning the finances of the Convention, the officers for the ensuing year, were elected as follows :— President—J. C. Clarke, Bay View. Vice-President—R. H. Macdonald, St. Eleanor’s. Secretary-Treasurer —H. A. Stewart, Hamilton. Committee—W. J. Simpson, Wm. Laird, §.R. Black, James Ramsay and Colin Wright. Walter Simpson, Esq., ing President, then delivered 4 short impromptu address. He expressed his belief that Professor Shuttleworth had done much to advance agriculture, as well by his addresses in various parts of the Province as by his teaching at the Prince of Wales College and Normal School. The late Government were, in his opinion, wise in making an expenditure to promote agri- cultural education. Greek and Latin is of doubtful value on the farm. But there can be no question about the use and necessity of a knowledge of Agricultural Chemistry. In these daysof strong competition the farm- ing interests of the Province demand better instruction inthescienceof Agriculture, For this purpose the establishment ofan experi- mental farm station ought to be seriously considered. The Stock Farm has outlived ita usefulness, But an experimental sta- tion in connection with the college would bé of great use to the boys as a means 0 obtaining practical lessons in the latest and best methods of farming. The experience of recent years seems to prove that the parisitie enemies of the farmer are on the increase. We need more information in respect to the insect pests which destroy our crops. Last year our grain was at- tacked by what seemed to be a plague of green lice. But it has been stated that the real enemy was a miscroscopic insect which could not be seen by the naked eye, and that the green lice were after him. If this were the truth, many farmers tried to de- stroy the friend which they could see, while they left unchecked the enemy which they could not see. We were destroying our friends instead of our enemies. This shows the necessity there is for instruction, and it is to be hoped that the new Govern- ment will be as successful as the late Gov- ernment in procuring the services of a good man, R. the retir- elaborate paper on ments in respect to cent years. The principal part this valuable paper will, sible, be published in Arthur Simpson Production and Distribution, such as that which afflicted Ireland would now be impossible. ea now easily supplied in all civil tries.

Macdonald, Esq., Vice-President of the Convention, then read a lengthy and “Production and: Dis- tribution,” showing the wonderful improve- both which have been made throughout the civilized world in Be o as soon as pos- Tue ExaMINER. moved that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered by the Conven- tion to Mr. Macdonald, and pointed out that, as a result of the improved means of a famine, in 1847, Local wants are ized _coun- | Be sure and ask for ‘* Mrs. The fears which were at first enter- tained that improved machinery would canse a reduction of wages, and make the problem of life more difticult, have not been realized. Wages have risen and the material condition of the laboring popula- lations of all civilized countries is better than ever. William Laird, Esq, seconded the motion. It must be admitted, he said, that great progress has been made, even in this Province. In respect to the means of distribution, he held that there are now too many men between the producer and the consumer—too many middlemen—and he argued that farmers should unite to buy and svil with little aid from these ex- pensive gentlemen. He hoped that the time would come when it would not be uecessary to import our agricultural machi- nery and mavy other things for which we {now have to go abroad. He favored the | peoposition to turn the Government Stock Farm into an Experimental Station to meet the needs of the Province. W. McNeill Simpson, Esq,, supported the motion. He referred to the Malthusian theory that population must outstrip pro- ection to the prosperity of France in the years immediately succeeding the Franco- German war, drawing the conclusion that there are a great many things, in respect to production and distribution which are but imperfectly understood. We are, after all, only on the eve of vast improvements. It should bethe aim of the agricultural producers of this Province to keep up with the times. The Government of the Pro- vince should afford its aid. Our present administration ought, in this respect, to follow out the policy of its predecessor. In the past, the tendency of our education- al machinery has been to take the best men away from the farmer. As soon as it was discovered that a buy possessed ability at school, it was usually determined that he should be a preacher, or doctor, or lawyer, vr a member of some other ‘‘respectable” profession er business—as if any profession or business was more respectable than that of the farmer, or required the exertions of cleverer men! He was much pleased with the results of the teaching of Professor Shuttleworth. He had conversed with several of the students and felt satisfied that such instruction in agriculture as was last year imparted at Prince of Wales Col- lege is calculated to greatly benetit the Province. As tothe Stock Farm, its useful- ness is gone. Privateenterprise now supplies theimproved breeds of horses, cattle, etc., for which it was at onetime required. But private enterprise cannot afford to make the experiments which are necessary to success in improved methods of farming. Nor can the Experimental Farms of Canada fully supply the want; for the conditions here are different in several respects from those of the other Provinces. We have to rove in a different direction ; and, there- fore, ought to have an experimental sta- tion of our own. Walter Simpson remarked that the open- ing up of new conntries had made competi- tion much keener than it was in the olden time. Oonsequently there was the more need, on our part, to cheapen as much as possible the cost of producing everything raised upon the farm. Experiments are, therefore, so much the more necessary. But an Experimental Farm Station would neces- sarily be run ata loss. It should be remem- bered by those who think that the Dominion should have the expense of another ex- perimental station for this Province, that an Experimental Dairy is about to be established in King’s County by the Dominion Govern- ment. The resolution passed unanimously, coupled with an expression of the hope that Mr. McDonald’s paper would be published. Mr, McDonald returned thanks for the vote of thanks which had been tendered him. In regard to the aphis, he had s»me years ago observed it. But people then said that its effects had been caused by lightning. We are cnly now beginning to know something about whatitis. The failure of the clover crops, he suggested, might be due to the exhaustion of those elements in the soil which are necessary to the development of that plant, Wm. MeNeill Simpson asked whether or not the ravages of the aphis had been observed this year? Arthur Simpson said that some traces of its work had been seen; but the season had been favorable for growth, and it had not apparently made the headway that it did last year. William Moffat (Cavendish Road), wanted to know if members of the convention had {| noticed a small weed which comes out in a small white flower? It was new tohim. As to the aphis in the oats, he had seen no sign of it this year. In respect to clover, he had noticed that in many cases fields where there was a good crop the first year after seeding down, there would be next to nothing the following year. He would like to know whether clover seed sown in the spring on this Island would probably grow so that the second crop might be equal to the first ? After some further discussion it was decided that the next meeting should be held at New Glasgow, at the call of Executive. (v0 BE CONTINUED.) + Mr. William Henry Smith, First Lord of the Treasury and Government lead-r in the British House of Commons, has informed his colleagues in the cabinet that it will be quite impossible for him to face another session with the incessant labor which it imposes upon him. His health is rapidly failing, be- ing impaired chiefly by the effects of sup- pressed gout. Party talk now assigns the succession to the ao ees the Commons to Right Hon. Charles Thomson Ritchie, President of the Local Government Board. For Over Firry Years Mrs. Winsloe’s Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothérs for their childrea while cutting teeth.
