MERCHANTS BANK OF P. E. ISLAND.

Tux Merchants Bank of Prince Edward Island shows for the year ending “1st De- cember, 1898, a oet profit of $25,142.57. This result is creditable to the president» directors and manager, and it shows that a comparatively large volume of business has been transacted. The paid-up capital of the bank is $200,020.00 while the notes in circ alation at the end of the year amounted to $125,718.@0 and the deposits to $296,445.40, On_the other hand, loans and bills discounted and in hand amount- ed to $617,627.16, and other amounts bring the assets of the bank up to $712,891.05. After paying two dividends at tae rate of 5 per cent per annum, $10,000 from the pro~ tite were carried to rest account.

POLICY OF THE FUTURE.

EVENING SESSION.

Speeches and Recitations — Dr- Pathick on Tuberculin—Paper by

Mr. Walter Simpson.

At the evening seseioa, Mr. Thomas

Moyse occupied the chair. _ After = intro- ductory remarks by Vice President Ed warde,—

Dr. Pethick, V 8, was called upon and gave a clear explanation of the reasons why tLe application of the “Tuberculio Test” is desirable. An embargo had been placed upon Canadian cattle by the United States. This bad been swept away asa result ofa conference between the United States and Canadian authorities. but it was agreed that while quarantine should be swept away, inspectors of cattle should be ap- pcinted whose certificates of inspection ehould be accepted at ports of entry in lieu of quarao'ine, Agreat increase of our cattle trade with the United States bas followed upon this arrangement, which isa gurraotee against tubercolosis and other diseases. Reports that tuber- colosis bad been found in certain herds of Canadian cattle had gone abroad; and the Government desire it to be known that tubercolosie is not prevalent here. To this end the application of the tuberculin teet is necessary. But it is asked, may not our catile catch the disease as a resalt of inoculation with tuberculin virus? Itis true that tuberculosis (consumption) is a

conlageous disease and that the bacillus or germs of tbe disease ere contained in tuberculir. But these germs cannot live in alcohol; and the process of mauu-

tuberculin—as explained by,

facturing Doctor Pcthick--renders im poseible the

growth of the germs in aa animel into}

ae . ; which tuberculin has been injected. The} only effict is “areaction” in an animal |

which already has tubercuiosis, just as the drinking of a portion of alcoho! will pros duce an effect upon a man who already has a glass or two in, while in one who has not no effect whatever will be pro- duced,

Walier Simpson, of Bav View, then read the following paper entitled :

OBsERVATIONS AND SUGGESTION?.

Agricultural practice is always more or leas changing. Like every other progres sive art or science it must needs change to keep itup to date. The farmers, markets are becoming more and more exacting in the matter of quality of foods, each suc- ceeding year. Our exports now eell ac- cording to their quality. The consuming masses demand a better quelity of food than formerly. They are becoming edu- cated to the belief that they are entitled to have wholesome fuod to eat, and they demand a thorough system of inspection to give them the guarantee that they get what they pay for.

The successful, up-to-date farme2 studies continually the demands of the markets for for which he caters, and notes each new demand as ‘oon asitissmade. He isthen prepared to take advantage of such de- mand in advance of the great bulk of pro-

The fall apples that were shipped as an experiment by our ‘‘FruitGrowers As- sociation,” and netted over $500 per barrel, would seem to point to a new era in the fruit industry here, especially as these very kinds of apples that sold so well arethe kinds that succeed well in our climate. The “Fruit Growers As- sociation” have conferred a lasting benefit on the orchardists of the Island by introducing their fruit in a shape that has caused it to be so well received by the English trade.

We can, and are, growing apples of the best quality here already, but we must study the business to make it successful.

It will be to our interest to grow ovly the kinds that will come to perfection in our; climate. The apple that attains its full

growth, and perfect color, will sell for more, than a far better apple that does not come to perfection.

Var dairy industry bas been well estab-~ lished as a result of the help we received from the Government.

Our cheese are uniform ip size and shape and general appearance, but not um form in quality. Our aim should be to make it all uniformly firet-class,eo that P. E. Island cheese would have a name, and fame that would be ite passport to the best markets in the old country, The great want of our cheese business just now is a thorough system of inspection, during the making season. The tactories should be banded togetber for this purpose. It would be for the benefit of all, and a great protection to this really important industry By al] the factories joining togetber for this purpose, and each factory contributing a amol! amcuut, which should be supple- mented by agrant from the local govern-~ ment, the services of one or two qualified

men might be obtained to have an oversight of the busines,— first by helping the factories to get suitable cheese makets,

and afierward by inspecting the make of each month and seeing that the surround- ings of the factories are such as are in keeping with the making and curing of 4 first-clacs product. The cheese maker, who is trying to do his level beat, will always welcome the inspector and be glad of any belp or hint he can get from him, and*the careless maker will be benefitted, whether he appreciates the visit or not. The patrons would have more confilence in the factory system if there was thorough inspection.

In Ontario, the different dairymen’s associations have the appointment of the inspectors in their jurisdictions, and they receive large grants from the Goverument whch go a long way towards paying their’ Saariesr.

I'he least our Local Gover: mnt could

——

done so much towards establishing the dairy business, would be to give a liberal | grant for this purpose; but the way to Go it would be to give it to an association of | dairymen to administer, and thereby keep it out of politics.

The dairy business can only continue to be a success by having all the factories under a good system of inspection, 80 as to ensure uniformly good quality in our but- ter and cheese. If a few of the factories shou'd get into careless habits, and turn out an inferior article,it woul! be greatly against the name of P. E. Island produce. | Why should an ictelligent people like P. | E. Islanders take secoud positson to the | Danes in the butter markei?—all the | vatural conditions necessary to the mak- ing of the best butter exist here. or why take second positionie anv peo;l? in the cheese markets. The only reason we have to do so is the carelessness of some of our patrons and makers aod want of proper oversight of the business, Asa result of of the very general adoption of dairying here, many farms are already showing s'gus of improving in fertility, and are

Mr. Dillon bad, he eaid, given the factories much valuable information and advice. | But Mr. D.Uon is now a purchaser of dairy products, andas such is not ina position to express his opini:ns in respect to some points of importance tothe trade.

sianding our very large export of butter and cheese, I believe there has not been any faliing off, but rather an increase in our shipments of cattle, sheep, hog pro~ ducts, poultry and eggs. We vent~re the assertion thatthe man who has a good herd of dairy or beef catile, and who is

on the farm by turning them into dairy produce or meat, is improving bis cir- cumstances and makiog the conditions of life easier, besides banking in hie soil that which iv sure to pay him large dividends in the near fu'ure. A large proportion of our grain crops— especially wheat—failed us sbis year and another staple our potatoes, were not more than half acrop,and if we had not had plenty of cattle and sheep to eat up our eoormous crop of grass, and turn it into butter; cheese, and meats, and our fac~* tories to handle the milk, we would have

felt the loss of these crops much more severely. Our stock was our sheet anchor this year, and always will be afterthis. A

few more years of successful diiryiag, stock raising, fruit growing aud good poui-

try management, will enable all our farm-

ers to deal for cash instead of being weight-

ed by the ruinous credit system, with its

extortionate prices. They wi!]l theo bave

something to sell atall times of the year, which will bring them cash, and enable

them topay as they go. Then and only

Mesers. Craig of Bedeque, and Ander-~ soa of Kensington, followed with interest- ingremarks of a general character. The former recommended good feeling and hearty co-operation on the part of the different buiter and cheese factories; and the latter deprecated the employment of cheap men to make cheapcheese. Mr. Anderson al-o advised the employment of an inepector of dairy produets, by those

Mr. Fred Turver, of Marsiifield, set i forth in a pithy and vigorous speech the necessity and advantages of agricultural education In a country suchas this, and quo‘ed as anplicable to Prince Edward Is- land, the following from a speech recently del.vered by Ex-Governor Hoard :

“Whatecan we doin an organized way to help emancipate this great busicess of farming froma lack of comprehexsion ? What can we do to get the farmers of this continent to see the necessity of more in tellect on the farm? Howcan we con- tribute, as a force, to the em*ncipation of the farm fron the wasteful effect of ignor- ance, and help put it in its place the ener. gizing andenriching influences of know iedge? In other words, what can wedo to promote farm education? What can this

_ o> in

congress do 'o pr m ote w's2 legislation i the State and national Jegi latures to this end?

What can this cong ¢+s as @ grea’ force to arrest the tendency of American the farmer to destroy tue natural fertility

of his farm? Woat can we d> to arouse

public opinion and the great education forces of the couatry to the importance of teaching the «lements of agriculture io the primary schools of the land? Oar pres rent system of agricultural education is ao image witha bead of brass,abody of iron « feet of clay. Weare «lirecting all our energies to the head and not to the feet.

“ur common schools recruit the academy, the college and university, and they, in turn, recruit every profession but farming. Our young men fize to the towns and cities because we have educated them todo so. Nearly every Eur pean country is puttiog forth strenuous efforte to etop this tendency by teach:ng the ele— ments of scientific agriculture in the common schoole, It can be doneas easily as the teaching of the elements of scientific arithmetic, or chemistry cr philosophy. A great host fied them. selves barred from an understanding of much of the agricultural literature. Ags a consequence, they tirn away from the agricultral college, the bulletin of the ex. periment station, and the farm paper that is really worth anything to them.

“Had these men been taught in their youth, in the common schools, the mean- ing of the terme used in agricultural chemistry, something of the prisciples of animel husbandry, something ofthe prin- ciples which underlie the preservation of fertility, they would be, to-day, in much more harmonious relation with el! that constitutes agricultural progress. May we not hope that this congress wi'l creates sentiment that will greatly belp slong this needed educational reform.”

Mr. Turner concluded by reading a resolution calling upon the Provincial Government to obtain a Professor of Axzriculture, as follows: —

Whereas, it is cons'dered that in & pro- vince, such as our-, dependent almost en- tirele upon the succeseful and intelligent labore of the farmer, there should bea Professor of Agriculture ;

Therefore Resolved, that in the opivion of this Association, it is the duty of the Provincial Government to procure the services of a competent, practical agricul

) tural instrac‘or, in conaection with the

Prince ot Wales College, and who, at cer- tain seasons of the year, could deliver lectures on the various brauches of Agri- culture throughout the Province for the instruction of farmers geveraliy.

This resolution was seconded by Walter Simpson, and beld over for discussion until the following day.

Mesers. James Carruthers, Joho Ed- wards, W. L. Cotton, Charles Waye, Oliver Anderson, Abram Brown, E. Be McDonald, Jardine followed with interest« ing speeches, which were interspersed with recitatiuns by Miss lea Stavert, George

Crockett, O-borne Anderson, William J. Thompsen and Miss Ada Clsrke; and the meeting adjourned at a late hour.
