Meeting of the Legislature.

vunced by the Patriot that the

|

Ir is ann Legislature of this Province will meet on the 8th of March. The Patriot expresses the hope that the public accounts will be

ready by that time. Tue Examiner may also be permitted to express a hope or two. We hope that the Government will by that time be prepared to clearly, fully, and sat- isfactorily explain the Land Office shortage. We hope, too, that the Government will be ready to give a full and detailed statement of its sale of debentures. Perhaps the Pre- micr will also be kind enough to say why his promise to supply a travelling dairy was performed. An explanation of the reason why «# portion of the debenture money has not been applied to the repair of the Provincial Building is also desirable, Above all, it is hoped that the Legislative

Council will be persuaded to patriotically

not

abolish itself without the inducement of the mortgage vote, the disfranchisement of ofticials, or the gerrymander dodge.

An Interesting Situation.

Tue situation in respect to Egypt is very interesting, and it may be very grave. If France and Turkey and Russia should sup- port the rebellious Khedive in arms as they are apparently supporting him in word, Great Britain would soon need to call forth all her resources. But it is probable that they are merely testing the sincerity of the Grand Ola Man, whose pre-election speeches were understood to indicate the British evacuation of Egypt as soon as pos- sible after he became Premier, The prompt and decisive action of his Cabinet in re- spect to the Khedive's recent follies will probably convince them that the test need not be pushed any further. At any rate, France and Russia have theirarms too fullof troubles at home to be in a position to em- ploy them effectively against Great Britain in Egypt. ‘The pacific assurances which Lord Defferin has given to France will tend to remove any excuse for French or Rus- sian intervention in Great Britain’s Egyp- tian affairs. Great Britain will probably be left to desl with the Khedive according to justice and his deserts.

The Speech from the Throne.

Tue Governor General has directed the attention of Parliament to a large number of important Some of these merely call for felicitation. In respect to others, action is required. Of the former class are those which refer to the continued prosperity of Canada, to the increase of its

mattere

immigration, the enlargement of the volame of its exports, and the healthy condition of its finances. Hia Exceilency’s statements

upon these points ought to reassure all those persons who have undergonethe agony of anticipating, for fifteen long years, the absolute ruin of their country as # resu't of Conservative administration and the oper- ation of the National Policy. That the Conservative Government is, on the whole, a good Government, and that the National

Policy is, on the whole, a good policy, are now proved beyond the peradventure of a doubt. Of course, there is some poverty and some

deprassion in some sections of the country This is the case in England, in the United States, of the world. by the Governor-General, clusively, to the satisfaction of any reason- able man,that Canada asa whole is thriving and progressive.

His Excellency has devoted a good deal of attention to the negotiations which have been carried on between the Government of Canada and the United States. That these negotiations have for the most part failed, is due to the fact that President Harrison and his administration refused to treat with the members our Government except upon terms inconsistent with Canada’s position in the British Empire It is hoped that the incoming administration of President Cleveland will not be so un- reasonable.

The promised measures for the improve- ment of the franchise and the civil service will be anticipated with interest. It is perhaps too much to hope that the dis- cussion of these measures, and of all other and submitted to Parliament — will conducted in such a way to show that the honourable, members on both sides are more deeply interested in the welfare and stability of the country than they sre in the promo- tion of party interests. We shall see.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT.

Opening of the Third Session.

The Governor-General's Speech

—_—

Large Number of Important Subjects Reviewed.

Work For Our Legislators.

Let All he for the Good of the Country.

Orrawa, Jan, 26.

This day, at three o'clock, p. m., His Excellency the Governor-General proceeded in State tou the Chamber of the Senate, in the Parliament building, and took his seat upon the throne. The members of the Senate being assembled, His Excellency was pleased to command the attendance of the House of Commons. That House.being present, His Excellency was pleased to open the third session of the seventh Par- hament of the Dominion of Canada with

the following SPEECH.

Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate ; Gentlemen of the House of Commons,

In meeting you at the commencement of another session of Parliament, it affords me pleasure tv congratulate you on the con- tinued progress which the history of the past year unfolds with regard to Canada.

The increase in trade, illustrated by the exports and imports, during the period for which the official returns have been pre- pared, has been most gratifying, and that increase has continued down to the present time, with the promise that the volume of trade during the current year will exceed that of any year in the history of the Dom- inien.

The revenues of the country have like- wise provided for all the services fur which parliament has made appropriation, and the operation of the Government railways has been less burdensome as regards the ditference betweeu income and expenditure than has been the case for a long term of years previously.

In Manitoba and the Northwest Terri- tories the increase in immigration has been decidedly encouraging both as regards the number of persons who have come from other countries and as regards the number of homestead entries made by settlers of all nationalities.

Measures have been taken to carry into effect the agreements arrived at with the United States on the subjects of the bound- ary of Alaska, the boundary line in Passa- maquoddy Bay, and the prevention of the destructive methods of fishing and the pre- servation and increase of fish life.

With regard to reciprocity in wrecking and towing, a correspondence has taken place which indicates that privileges are demanded for the United States vessels in Canadian canals which were not antici- pated; but it is not impossible that a satis- factory conclusion ot the discussion may yet be reached.

During the receas, a friendly conference took place between delegates from my Government and from the Government of Newfoundland on the questions which were pending between the two countries. It is hoped and expected that the interchange of views which tnen took place, will be pro- ductive of beneficial results, and lead to an amicable adjustment of those questions.

The statute of 1887, relative to a Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce and to the ottice of Sollcitor General having been brought into furce, the appointments were made which were contemplated by these acts.

It is to be regretted that the Government of the United States was unable to accept the suggestions made by my Government on the subject of Canal Tolls, and that the President sould have thought it necessary to impose exceptional tolls on Canadians using the Sault Ste. Marie Canal, which has so long been free to the people of both countries. My Government has caused ef- forts to be made to hasten the completion of the Canadian cana] works, which will soon afford to the commerce of the Do- minion a highway within our own country.

Measures will be laid before you for the improvement of the Franchise Act; for the amendment of the laws relating to the civil service, and the superannuation of civil servants; for regulating the admission of evidence in certain causes, and matters under the control of the Parlia- ment of Canada for extending the system of voting by ballot to the Northwest Territories, and for simplifying the laws relating to lands and land transfera in the Territories.

Gentlemen of the House of Commons ;

The Public Accounts of the past year and the estimates for the ensuing year will will be laid before you without delay, and I trust that it will be seen that ample pro- vision may be made for the public service withcut increasing taxation.

Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate;

Gentlemen of the House of Commons;

I have every confidence that all these matters will receive your best attention, and that your deliberations will keep in view above all other considerations the wel- fare and stability of the country.

Dairying a Specialty for 3 P. E. 1.

IV.

Cheapening the cost of our different pro- ductions is a matter that farmers in general have not given that thought tothat the matter deserves. Weare tvo apt to look only at the price we get for an article and judge our profits by that, when we should have carefully calculated what it costs us to produce it.

Till we are able to make a pretty accurate estimate of what it costs to produce a pound of beef, pork, butter or cheese, we will not be ina position to select the particular branch of agriculture which it will pay best to make a specialty of. To do this we must keep strict accounts with our cattle, those we turn into beef and those which are kept for the dairy. The best way to do it is to keep an account with each individual animal in the herd, to find out how much feed it requires with each to produce a pound of cheese or butter or a pound of beef. I ven- ture to say thatif we keep such accounts for a month we will be paid well for our trouble, and we will be surprised to find what a difference exists where we suspected that all were very nearly alike, The result will be a weeding out of those that we have been keeping, and an iuacrease cf those which have been keeping us by returning us a good profit overand above the cost of their keep, and our business will then be placed on a solid basis. We want the special purpose cow, whether for beef or cheese. The scrub should be retired and be lost sight of. She is too expensive a luxury to keep. The general purpose cow that some claim is good for all purposes is not a suc- cess inanything. As adairy cow she will not produce cheaply enough to give usa profit.

A prominent dairyman who has kept a strict account with his cows, tells us that one of them produced him butter at acost of 9} cents per lb. while the butter from another cost him 14 cents per pound. One yielded a big profjt because special'y adapted to the business. The other would yield a smalier profit on account of not being so well adapted.

Probably the greatest loss the farmers of this Island sustain is from keeping un- profitable stock, or from keeping stock in such a manner as to render them uuprofit- able.

A writer in a late agricultural paper says, and [ think truly: ‘*That scrub cattle cos: the farmer more than all the monuplies and combines that exist,” But still the ordinary farmer is much more exercised about what he thinks the sugar combine or the binder trust 1s taking cut of him than he is about the heavier losses he is cu -taining every day by keeping unprofitable stuck or raising unprofitable crops. First select the right stock for the dairy and then select the feed best suited for them.

The feeding of our cattle is 1 matter that we require to study very carefully. A great many experiments have been carried on at the different agricultural experimental stations with a view to ascertain which is the cheapest feed, and I think that the conclusion arrived at ig that pasturing in summer and feeding hay and grain in win- ter is too expensive a way to keep cattle.

The experiments have proved that where ensilage is provided as the greater part of the wiuter ration, double the number of cattle can be kept per acre, and with soil- ing crops to supplement the pastures dur- ing the months of late summer and early autumn, our cattle can be made to keep up their full flow of milk right through the season

During late years the clover crop has been a comparative failure on this Island. The need of clover hay has been sadly felt by the stock raiser. It is a much cheaper and better feed for cows and sheep than timothy, and also enriches the land on which it is grown. To take the piace of

clover, which has become — such an uncertain crop, the dairyman will be compelled to grow corn,

and make silage of it for winter feeding. The success of our dairying business will largely depend on our adopting the silage system, as by that system we can provide our cattle with cheaper food than we can in any other way. Grow clover by all means if you can, but it will not do to de- pend altogether on so uncertain a crop.

We have now obtained a variety of fod- der corn that comes very nearly to matur- ity in our climate (Pierce's Prolific.) I have been shown samples of this variety that have ripened on the Island during last summer. It is also a sutticiently heavy cropper to) insure success as an ensilage crop.

trotting-bred colts. which they would wil- lingly enter in races to be held here, but who sre unwilling to sen’ their colts away from home. I consider it very strange and unbusiness-like, considering the amoynt of

near Charlottetown on our trotting park that {breeders here should be denied the privileges offered by other tracks in the matter of futurity races. I take it chat the success of our association depends in a great measure on the development of our young trottingstock. It the present di- rectors are incapable of conducting a futurity‘race would it not-be in the inter- est of the company for them to lease the track to a Competent person, rather than breeders should be denicd the benefit of such races.
