NEWS,

A telegram was received last evening from the Charlottetowa passengers by the Labrador, stating that they had landed in Scotland all right.

THE AGRICULTURAL MISSION.

Tue enthusiastic interest manifested by our farmers in respect to the mission of

suring as to the continued prosperity of this province. It is also very pleasing to see the Government of the day taking ao active part in the promotion of improved methods of agriculture and horticalture. Farmers were bythe Premier’s managemeat enabled to make the utmost poseible use of the Professors while they were here. We are glad to note that the loca! authorities are at length awakening to the claims of our farmers. They have long had a good example in the late Government of Canada established the Experimental Farms, aod put the dairying businees up on & co-operative footing. Lieutenant | Governor Howlan, also, is entitled to credit for leadiog the way iv the path of progress ‘which Premier Farquharson has lately | begun totread. His Honour has, from | the beginning, shown ihe utmost possible | interest inthe movement towards perfec- _ tion ia farming operations; and be exhibit~ ed his contiaued solicitude by being pre- sent and presiding at the meeting of Friday.

which

| Robertson, on this occasion, is an exceed-

\ingly simple one. It will cost nothing to adopt his suggestion ss to the selection of

‘ the biggest and best beads of grain in the

| field, whether of wheat, oats or barley, |}having these threshed by themaelves, sowing the seed thus obtained by itself, and taking the products, kept separate, the | following year for seed. Yet the Professor assures our farmers,on the strength of repeated experimenis at the Central Experimental Farr, that they wili double their grain products in five years,—if only they adopt this simple method of obtaining seed grain.

Professor Robertson’s precepta concern- ing the care of cows and pigs may be acted upon by every farmer in the land to the profit of each and the enrichment of the whole province. Now that there is a probability of direct steamship accommo~ dation between Charlottetown and Great Britain, our people may, also, enter upon

bicken-farming with results almost as good as those ebtained inthe south of England and the north of France. The illus tration stations to be be establishedthrough- out Canada will, we feel sure, be a boon to this Province and may take the place of a local experimental farm, for which there has lately been a popular demand.

Asa ieeturer upon farm topica, Professor Robertson is simply inimmitable. His humorous anecdotes and stories, i}lustra- tive of his points, make his addressees ju- teresting and amusing, while his definite and positive information, resulting from persona! observation and experiment, rend-

er them in the highest degree instructive. But Professor Macoun, also, was able to make a very favorable impression here. Though a yeung man he evidently knows his business. As this firs

wes his

| visit to Prince Edward Island, he cam

necessarily unacquainted with maoy ef our loeal conditions. Yethe gave us not a little valuable information regarding the culture of fruit, potatoes and other things. and we have no doubt that our farmers and

‘ orchardiste will be benefitted by the prac-

tical application of the hints contained

in his excellent addresses.

Interest was added io the diecussion by the short, but eloquent and forcible, apeeches of Mr. Dillon Senator Ferg ueon, Prmier Farquharson,Mr. Robert Ellis, sr., and other gentlemea; and we trust that the meetings of the past week will mark the commencement of a new era in the agriculture of Prince Edward Island.

--The Moncton Times maker a calen!- ation that in the New Brunswick election 28,648 voters cast ballots for the Govern- ment, and 238,644 for the Conservative opposition. The Governmeat’s popular majority was 5,004. This causes the Gazette to remark that when the Coneer— vative voters led away by men liks Mr. Costigan and Senator Poirier aod the lesser lights who sided with Messrs Blair and Emmerson, are taken out of the majority,

there is not much left for the Government to boast about.

THE AGRICULTURAL MISSION. |

Kindergarten Hall Packed—Capital Addresses by the Professors.

Kindergarten Hall was literally packed yesterday afternoon,—for the most part by farmers some of whom came from the moat distant parts ef the Province.

Li-utenant Gcvernor Howlan occup ed, the chair. On the plattorm were, besides Mrs. Howlan and many other ladies, His Lordship the ,Bishop of Charlottetown, Premier Farqubarson,Hon.Mesers, Sinclais McNut and McLauchlan of the Provenciai Government, James E. Macdonald, M. L. A., Reuben Tuplin, Beq., Hon.W. Cambell, Messrs O. C. Gardiner, T. J. Dillion, J. C. Clarke, Joseph Wise, (lately returned from Great Britain) and others ; aod in the au- dience were Edward Bayfield, Eeq., Presi- dentof the Fruit Grower’s Association, Senator Macdonald, Charles Palmer, Arthur Simpsev, Wm. Macneil! Simpeen, George Tweedy, F. Li. Haezard aud many other promient gentlemen.

Professor Raberteon’s speech was, in its mainjpart’s similar to those delivered by him in other§sections of the province avd already reported. ln sowing clover he said, twelve poundsof seed tothe acre should be used, toobtain the best results in hay and roots. It should not be sown by iieelf. Good mixed hay is best, and wll sell in England, where they have the best horses, at $3 perton more money. Kye is the best mother-crop for hay; after rye barley, and after that oats aad wheat— about equally good. He believed in her- edity and good breeding as well for grain as for animelsand men. He had gret faith io P. E, leland on account of the quality ofits people. He had seen the Doukhobors who had lately arrived in Canada, and admired their big healthy bodies and large bones. But, in his judgment, it would take at least a hundred years of Canadian liberty and civilization and religion to give them eyes and heads and iipsand hands euch as those of the men he saw beforehim. He didn’t see better faces anywhere than thoseof tbe people of P. E.Isiand. But the Island people have not been as careful as they ought to have been to grade up their crops Indeed he believed that they bad ratber been degrading their oats. They do not obtain the fruits of weil-bred oat seeds. The well-bred man and the well bred horse are able to overcome obstacles; and this is the characteristic of wellsbred seeds. Professor Robertson then again impressed upon his hearers the expediency of select-

ing and keeping apart the bigger heade of grain in their harvest-fields for seed the following year,

~ Professor Macoun repeated hia advice as tothe selection of the ste, and the pre« paration, and cultivation of the soil for an orchard, andthe planting and pruaing, spraying, etc. ef trees. A tree cut from an orchard was bronght in, and and the Professor gave an exhibition of pruning. The object of pruning is to lessen the number of branches so that the tree will produce the a mximum of fruit of maxium size, The branches running towards the centre of the tree ought to be cut off; for fruit grown on branches shaded from the suo will not ripen or color as well +s that on the outer branches Another main point in prun ng isto get well-balanced and symmetrical trees.

The Protessor also gave an exhibition oo top-grafting by sawing off a branch, eplit- ting the pars remaining ou the tree acroes the middle ty means of a knife and ham- mer, inserting a wedge to keep the split open, and then inserting the '€ on- a twig of the previous year’s growth On another tree—being careful that the barks of the tree and the scion shal] meet on one side— taking out the wedge—and covering the part witha preparat on of bees-wax white resin and alcohol, made into wax.

After Professor Macoun bad anewered a number of questons as to trees,—

Profeesor Kobertson again came for- ward and spoke about live-stock on the farm. He referred to the cow and how she should be treated. Pastures would, he thought, be improved by a little top- dressing of lime or musselmud, In ad- dition to the grass of the pasture, the eows should receive, in the dry season, some seft teed, the beat being a mixture of oats, peas and vetches. More corn, also, might well be growm for autumn and winter foed. Milch cows ought not to get turnips. Turnips are good for growing stock, but not good for milking stock. Cows should be kept warm in winter,—the temperature of the stables not going below 45. The inside of all stables ought to be white~ washed at least twice a year, and light should be admitted by windows. There is no treatment that will prevent tubers culosis (consumption) like the presence of sunlight and whitewashed walle, A rea- sowatle ventilation of the stable is aleo impertant. In Sweden and Denmark the milkmen wear milking smoeks which are washed twice a week. The udders of the cows are aiso brushed before milking. These are little thinge: but it is the care about the little things which makes al! the difference in the butter and the cheese, and the prices in the British markets.

Profeesor Robertson then reverted to the pig aod the ben, as in speeches already reported, and spoke of the illustration stations which are to be established.

Under this heading he referred to the fact that provision is made in every Board School in London for teaching pupils how to use their hands; and ridiculed the idea of educating our young men and women in the “ologies” and enabling them to describe the universe—while they can’t earn their own living.

On motion of Hon. Senator Ferguson, a hearty vote ofthanks was tendered the professors.

Professor Robertson responded by pro- posing that a vote of thanks be given Lieutenant Governor Howlen for bis kind- ness ip presiding over the meeting.

This{was seconded by Professor Macoun, and put buy Premier Farquharson,

Lieut. Governor Howlan responded 'b

presided over a meeting which had given

him greater pleasure.

The dairymen’s meeting in Kioder- garten Hall in the evening was attended by an audience which completely filled the room. Hon. John Balderston, of North Wiltshire was called tothe ehair.and Mr. Mathews was choeen secretary. The chairman, in opening the meeting, spoke of the importanee of having all milk sent to cheese and butter factories in the best condition, and advected the appointment of un inspector whose duty it would be to proscute persons sending milk in an uafit state. ‘

Mr. John Moore thought the cheese or butter maker should be the sole judge of] milk,

Mr. T.J- Dillon spoke of the eerly history of dairying in,this province,and said its growth had been greater here than iaany other fpart of the Dominion in the same time. This is because the peo le had started right. Speaking of the ap- pointment of @ cheese iuspector or in~ etractor he (Mr. Dillon) mentiened the name of Mr, KR. E. Spillet. Mr. Spiliet, he said, was im every way qualified. He believed he would do the work for $1200 a year, finding hisown team and payieg, his own expenses. He hoped the factory managers would insist on having the inspector sppoiated by themvelyes. He thought the factory men would pay one half of the inspector’s ealary and that the Goveroment would render assistance. The outlay would be small when it was considered that leet, year there had been derived from qhe dairy industry the snug sum of $360,000.

Professor Robertson, after making some Opening remarks, went on to speak of the growth ofdairying in England and Scot~. land, pointing out that while Euglish and | Seotch cheese sold at 60s, Canadian cheese | sold at 40s. The differenceia the price was due te the unifurmity of body, flavour and texture of the Old Country product. Unless our che: se are made to suit the tastes of the English people they cannot hope for the fullest measureof success in that market. | Regarding termentation, Professor Roberts | son explained the presence of certain germs which were warmed into activity when the temperature was 70 or 75 and imparted a flavor to the cheese which was disliked by the English peo- ple. He had seen cheese made from the ome batch whieh differed in price 1} cents per pound. This was because of @ difference in the temperture. The temperature of the curing room should range from 60 to65 allsummer. This room should be constrected of layers of timber inside and outside with double layers of paper between, double floors, double windows and double doors, all to keep out the heat during the summer. The winéows should be open- ed in the early morning for ventilation and closed whenever the heat of the day is etting in. Some of the factories in On-
