Wer notice, by the editorial in the last Island Guardian, that Mr. H. C. Macdonald, the candidates for election at the present time in the Belfast District, is held up to the electors in that district asa strong supporter of the Canada Temperance Act. Now, upon what principle Mr. Macdonald can pose as a supporterwi the Scott Act we Mr. H. C. Macdon- ald signed the petition for the repeal of the Scott Act in Charlottetown at the last elec- tiou, and we defy the editor of the Guar- dian or the Patriot eny the fact.
The aims all political partizanship in the present campaign, but it must have been aware of the above facts. As the political sentiments of the Gaardian are all summed up “‘ inthe support of the Canada Temperance Act,” it can hardly, with consistency, advocate the return of Mr. Macdonald or of Mr. McLellan in Prince County on that score, as we are in- formed that Mr. McLellan has been an open violater of the law in respect to the
Scott Act. oe
The Growth of Wheat and its Pro- ducts in the Mill.
eee
Joun J. Wrt.is, Superintendent of Lawes and Gilbert’s Experimental Farm, Rothamsted, England, states in the March American Agriculturist that the general conclusions arrived at by the Ruthamsted investigations on the growth of wheat as
one of
are at a loss to know.
Guardian
regards the svi! miy be summarized as fo!- lows :—
1. A soil which in the ordinary course of agiiculture would have received an app ica- tion of manure before another crop was giowr has produced forty-four crops of wheat in succession, averaging fourteen bushels per acre, solely by means of its existing fertility.
2. Atthe commencement of the experi- ments the soil contained a large amount of organic nitrogen, derived fiom the ‘ debris” of pre-existing vegetation. It also contained a large amount of the mineral food of plants.
3. Every year a certain proportion of the organic nitrogen has been nitritied by the agency of organisms existing in the soil.
4. Part of the nitrates formed has been em- ployed in the growth of the wheat crop ; part has been washed out of the soil or otherwise lost.
5. The loss of nitric acid is greater in wet seasons, and the amount taken up by the wheat cropis in consequence smaller. Com- paratively dry seasons should, therefore, be favorable for the production of large crops of wheat.
6. The stock of soil fertility in the form of orgenic nitrogen has been considerably reduc- ed during the forty-five years that the experi- ments have been carried on ; and the amount of such reduction has been ascertained by analyses of the sol made at different periods. The stock of both potash and phosphoric acid hae also been largely reduced,
7. Although sv much soil fertility has been removed, the stock that remains would ap- oe to be sutlicient to grow crops of what
or @ long period ; the produce, however, must
in process of time necessarily be lower than it has hitherto been. .

Last Night’s Concert.
The concert given by the students of St. Dunstan’s College in the “Lyceum last evening, was largely attended and very suc- cessful. The programme, which was some- what lengthy, was well carried out. The Glee Club choruses were excellent, as was also the duet and quartette singing of some members of the Club. Miss Newbery’s solo ** Anchored,” was prettily sung ; and Mr. Charies Bell’s ‘* Midshipmite,” and Prof, Caven’s **Out On The Deep.” were deservedly encored. ‘‘The Standard Bearer’ was well sung by Mr. Charles Hermans, and Mr. A. J. McDougall’s comic songs ** brought down the house.” Mr. McDougall’s violin playing was also good and was encored. Thetrio ‘‘ 1 Naviganti ” was capitally rendered by Professor Caven, Rev. F. X. Gallant and Mr. Blanchard, and was encored. The accompaniments by Miss Caven, Mr. Blanchard and Master Gallant were well played.

Gur Railways.
The Minister of Railway's report contains excellent maps of the railways of Canada, and a classified list of railways which have been subsidized, with particular informa- tion respecting each, It is beyond doubt the most comprehensive return yet made since 1876. The Intercolonial railway in- creased its miles from 714 to 876, its earn- ings from $1,154,000 to $6,596,000, and the tons of freight carried from 421,000 to 1,- 131,000 tons. Passengers carried 613,000 to 940,000. In the year 1879 the Inter- colonial carried 570 tons of coal from Nova Scotia to the Upper Provinces, and last year 176,000 tons. Last year the Inter- colonial carried 89,000 barrels of sugar from Halifax to the Upper Provinces and 57,000 from the Moncton Refinery. Returns will show that in the year 1883, 31,000 bushels of grain passed through the Halifax eleva- tor, and last year 576,000 bushels, and since 1882 a total of 1,304,000~bushels. The Canadian Pacific Railwry has a pre- seat mileage of 4,656 miles.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF FARMERS AND DEALERS—THE KIND TO GROW AND HOW TO GROW THEM—CAREFUL CULLING NECES- SARY.
AN important meeting of farmers and merchants interested in the growth and shipping of potatues was held at the Board of Trade Rooms to-day; Among those present were, James Laird, (Chairman), George Toombs, (Secretary), Chas. Gardi- ner, D. Farquharson, Donald McKenzie, H. Bovyer, George Mason, Donald McKay, Walter Simpson, (Cavendish), W. S. Simp- son, (Cavendish), Alex. Horne, A. J.

Forbes, Wm. Poole, (Montague), Mr. Crosby, (Cavendish), Wm. Moffat and Montague Philips, D. A. McDonald, Mr. Mearill.
F. T. Newbery, Esy., briefly explained the object of the meeting, viz., to discuss the means of improving the quality of our potatoes, the means of guarding against rot, the necessity of culling more carefally before marketing, ete., and called for an expression of the vpinion of thuse present. The discussion was kept up by Donald Farquharson, Donald McKenzie, R. Norton, C. Younker, C. C. Gardiner, Denald McKay, (Wheatley River), Captain Murchison, Joseph Wise, M. P. P., F. T. Newbery, Wm. Mutch (Hopeton), Mr. McLean, (Lot 48), H. Bovyer, Mr. Crosby, Mr, McLeod, (Stanley Bridge), Walter Simpson, W. 8. Simpson, Joseph Gallant, Wm. Poole, Mr. Merrill, (of Boston), and oi hers. : .
The speakers favored greater care in the selection of seed potatoes, greater care in culling before marketing jap respect to early varieties of potatoes, y as soon as ripe; and a measure old a gallon more than the small tub anda gallon less than the large one, the use of which to be obtigatory on all.
As we go to press the meeting is still

Montana.
We are indebted to Mr. George H. Simp- son (formerly of Cavendish) for copies of the Montana Live St0ck Journal—an excel- lent paper of its kind. Ima letter to the Editor of Tae Examiner, Mr. Simpson says: ‘*I would nofadvise anyoue who is ‘avell fixed ’ in the Island to break old ties to come to this rugged rough Western country to form new ones and makea home.
Still this is the best country in the West :
to-day for the honest working man. Here he can find all the work he wants—good wages tov ; $35 to $40 a month, and board being the lowest paid ; carpenters get $3.50 to $3.75 per day ; board $6 to $7 per week. We have had the finest weather since the
middle of January | ever saw in this coun-_| try or any other, for yp: of year.
Migabile dictu, but we had grasshoppers hatehed here the Ist of February. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself. The grass has been growing for the last two weeks. 1 suppose you have seen reports of people being frozen to death in Montana by the score. { must here give such reports an emphatic denial. If there were any frozen to death t was undoubtedly their own carlessness that caused it. 1 was out the coldest days (Jan. 13th and 14th) we had, and had not much trouble tokeep warm while at work. [ have known wen to work on a_ bridge (acr ss the Yellowstone) when the mercury stood at 44 below zero. The coldest we. had it here this winter was 41 below zero, by a recording thermometer. Stock on the range look fine. Horses are fat on some ranges that are not eaten off by the cursed sheep. I see by your excellent paper that you are having a pretty hard time to keep up ** continuous communication with the Mainland.”” Rush that tunnel business. When I go home | don’t want to cross in an icebvat and be frozen to death on a cake of ice in Northumberland Strait.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
New London Packet Service Again.
Sir,—In a copy of the Patriot, which came into my hands to-day, I notice a communication from $8. H. Brown, of Stanley, who has, it seems, become the apologist for the owner of the New London packet.
Mr. Brown, who is no doubt, suitably rewarded for his services as scribe, under- takes to show that the packet service between this port and Charlottetown has been satisfactorily performed. In this he has signally failed, even though he tells us that the merchants and shippers of New London have certified that such was the case. If Mr. Brown put his name to a document, certifying that the service has been satisfactory to the shippers in this section of the country, he certified to what he knew, or ought to have known, was not true. I would ask him how the service could be faithfully performed, when nobody knew when to expect the packet to arrive in this port, or sail from Charlotte- town? ‘The contractor never informed the people of New London as to when the packet would be at any wharf in our harbor to receive freight for Charlottetown, nor did he eyer advertize an agent either in Charlottetown or here with whom freight might be left for shipment ; and further, I would ask, if during the last season the packet ever made one trip from this port to Charlottetown. direct. Instead of our subsidized packet having her regular dates of sailing between the above mentioned ports she comes intu our harbor sometim 2s in the evening, runs up to Bay View wharf to replenish her stores, and the next morn- ing is off to Richibucto for lumber, or Pictou for coal, before half a dozen people in New London knew she was in port at all.
i woul! ask any man of common sense if this is carryimg out the contract faithfully. If it is it must be avery strange contract.
Mr. Brown also says that the trade be- tween this port ani Charlottetown was never greater —which may possibly be tius —but when he tries to convey the impres- sion that all the goods carried in here by water are carried by the packet from Char- loitetown, he is trying to deceive. Salt, one of the heaviest articles he mentiuns, most all comes frem New Brunswick. If trade is so brisk, as Mr. Brown would have us believe, why is it that the contractor
cannot affurd to. give all his time to the
Mint Dow wil eaten trade wa fs,
“THURS
that the packet made her regular trip every two ol and gave good satisfaction when the service was conducted by such men.as the late Capt. Johnston and Capts. J. A. McKie and R, B. McLeod? 1 do not consider it such a very generous act on the part of the contract or to pay adollar or two fur truckage when he receives some three hundred for doing nothing, vor do I think two or three hundred dollars too much for New London to receive, provided the public are benefited by it. But I do think it too much of the people’s money to giveto a person who runs his schooner where he pleases, and while pretending to rform ket service, seems to. make it is peculiar study how he may avoud carry- ing any freight between this port and Charlottetown, TAXPAYER. New London, March 7, 1888. A Word in Season. Sir,---Can you inform me why our City Fathers make new bye-laws to protect the citizens’ heads, and not keep the old bye- law in force and compel every person to keep the sidewalks clear of slush. There are more people injured by getting their feet wet than ever there were by hanging signs falling on them. If all parties were made to shovel the snow off every morning
B. | the planks might be kept bare all winter.
CITIZEN.

Sir Charles and Reciprocity. Accorpine to the Halifax Herald's Ottawa correspondent Sir Charles Tupper, in the course of some remarks on the Treaty said that ‘the was relieved somewhat by the Montreal Star’s report of an inter- view with Mr. Angell, one of the Commis- sioners, in which Mr. Angell said that the British and Canadian Commissicners had made persistent attempts to secure a settle- ment on the basis of reciprocal trade which had taken up time more than half the sittings, but that the American Com- missioness had as porsistently declined their overtures, contending that tariff questions should be left to the independent action of Congress. Sir Charles endorsed this state- ment.” cnet pean tase
A Large Salary.
As president of the Republic, M. Carnot receives $240,000 a year—that is to say, $120,000 as salary, $60,000 for keep- ing up his official state and $60,000 for travelling experses. This inoney is paid in monthly instalments of $20,000, and, according to M. Grevy’s experience, it is insufficient. With $69,000 a year the President of the Republic eannot travel about the country, because democratic France is still full of monarchical traditions and. in every town where thé President spends a single day he would. be expected to make such numerous and generous gifts tu hospitals, charities and other local ,institutions that a visit to haif a dozen towns would exhaust his years budget.
