In Our Methods And Con- tracts Them With' Those

of the Upper Provinces- Much Useful Information.

Al. your request, I will will try to

give you some information about the way in which dairying is carried on in Prince Edward Island. Allow me, first

Y

duction. on the climate and conditions of that country in general, so that you may judge of the advantage the farmers of the Island enjoy over those of other countries. '

The soil is red sandy loam, easy to

work. Although the land does _not seem to be very strong, still it yields heavy crops of grain but it needs frenquent dressings of dung to maintain its fer- tility. Every sort cf grain, except corn, is grown; though corn is Sometimes grown in small quantities, the nights

taining the fertility of the soil; just the reverse. The chief crops were oats, sold off the farm, potatoes and -hay. Everything was sent away, so that the fertility of the Soil was much more worked out of it than if these produce had been consumed onthe farm. The soil of the Island is able to yield heavy crops of grain, which would do for feeding cows for winter d iirying.

The cows are of all kinds. though one

can perceive signs that goto prove that the farmers are entering on a course of improvements as regards their herds. not only as to their in- crease in number, but also as to the breeds kept/1`hough the progrt si is slow it will certainly be realized, for the farmers appreciatethe importance of good cows, and as some have succeeded in improving their herds. their success will lead othi-rs to imitate them, and the results will be the same as the re- sults:realized eleswhere.

In some districts Aryshires have

been introduced. and seem to be popu-

As I said before and I repeat it. as

long as farmers persist in the p'actico of bringing back the whey in the milk- cans we shazl always hav -. more than ever. bad fl-av rs in the milk. I have

pointed out this error to many of the farmers, and a gook many of them see that it ought to be put an end to. but they say that if they put an end to this practice on their own f-arms, they wil' not get a cent more for their milk, un- less the suppression is°general; unfor- tunately, they are right. Still there is a remedy ; and if it were applied, not only would it improve the quality of Canadian cheese. but it would get rid of half the inferior cheese we now see on the market. The remedy is this: the buyers do not make enough difference

cf all, to sa afew,words, as an intro- inthe rice for ualii . All he C

ought to be pi-iced according to quality; three classt s might be made, so that the man that makes good cheese ,should receive a good price,and he who makes bad cheese a had price. I know that this

A ‘plan will not receive the cordial appre-

pationof the buyers; but why should not the same difference in this price that are made for wheat, for instance, be made`for cheese. This question de- mands attcntionfiind I hope that they who are iii alposit`ipp.:to,i fdefend it will become its advocates. A

The present state of trade offers no

The dormer mode of farming had by maker turns out cheese superor to his no means the object in view ofinain-' neighbors, he cinnot get a cent more”

for it. Suppose the proprietor pays this man $10.00 more than the neighbor gets, on account of his superior ski.ll,he

make though he can see a difference of at least a half-cent in favour. of the cheese, made by the skilled maker. ;Hence, an actual encouragement to pro- prieto's of cheeseries to hire none but second-rate makers, provided they can make cheese that will pass on the mar- ket at the rr-ant rate, or market price.

In the present state of business, good

cheese helps the sale of bad, and the man v ho mnki s bad cheese knows that and will go on making bad* cheese as long as it is so; but if. by leaving off paying- a good price for his make, we establish a :system that forces him to turn out good cheese, either he will improve the qu .lity of his gcods, or he' will have to give up making, in which latter case he will probably be replaced by a better maker.

I therefore advise that in order to in-"
