CANADA AND GREAT BRITAIN.

13th inst,

a copy of which is at hand this morning,

Tue London Times of the contains a lengthy article treating of the levelopment of trade between Canada and Great Britain and pointing out what bas

been accomplished in this direction. It

is stated that at the present time Canada

supplies one-fourteenth of the imported

food of Great Britain, while she might furnish one-third of the entire amount re- quired. The policy of encouraging and promoting trade with Great Britain, initiat- ed by the late Dominion Government and

followed out by their successors in othr’,

ia = dealt with, and especial reference is made to the

inipetus given dairying, fruit growing, cattle rearing, and experimental farming. Speaking of the establishment of experi-

mertal farms by the late Government

the Times says :

“The most important of the early steps in this direction was made by the inau- guration of a system ef experim. utal Gov- ernment farms. Im 1890 the system re- ceived practical amplification by the crea- {on of a new department having power to spend a certain amourt of money iv useful experiments, The department was piaced under the charge of Professor Robertson, who received an appointment as Dairy Commissioner and Goverorent Agricul- turists on the central experimental farm. The success of the cemmission thus es- tablished has been very marked. The work which it has done isthe more ia- teresting as being typical of the lines upon which it has been judg-d possible, in a

country naturally adapted to agri- cultural pursuits, for the Govern- ment ‘o rereer substantia]

assis.ance to egricultur ts. Briefly sum- mar ced, the endea.or has heen to dire

the work done by the Government towards three obj c The first is to cheapen the cost and to improve the characterof pro- duction by the study of pew methods and the application of scientific principles to practical work. In purauance of this ob- ject investigationandexperiment have ben carried on under scientific conditions in the centra: dairy and central farm, and the reaults have been published in widely- circulated reports. The second object has been to convince the working farmer, by practical demonstration, of the value of adopting the conclusions arrived at by ex- periment. For this purpose dairy and farm atations have been established throughout Canada, and travelling dairies have been instituted for the purpose of reaching the outlying districts and giving practical instruction toall farmers who derire to accept it. The third object has

been to establish better trade methods,

including improved systems of packing, storage, transportation, and more accurate

knowledge of the demands of foreign mar- kets. The theorv of the Government has in all instances been to abstain carefully from competing asa trader with private enterprise, and to carry its experiments merely to the point required for practical demonstration of their value.

“Taking in turn the objects which haye been pursued, it may be observed that, as a result of the sysiem of experiment, some very valuable effects have been achieved in the direction of the cheapening of fod- der, the cultivation of profitable cattle foods, the popularization of the system of ensilage, and economy both of land and labour. One of the most successful experi- mente ia reapect of the feeding ‘of cattle, which were conducted on the central experimental farm, was the feeding ot thirty good milch kine for a year upon 4 plot of forty acres,to which no manure except that of the cattle fed upon it was given. The experiment, which consisted chiefly in a scientific choice of suitable fodders, gave very’successful results. The principal modification in fodders so far generally accepted as the result of the Government experiments is a much wider use for dairy cattle of Indian corn and sunflower seeds. The annual saving to theeaisting number of Canadian dairy farmere which would result from a general adoption of the new system of ensilage is estimated at $3,000,000 a year. The development of butter fat in the milk, increase in the quantity of milk, and improved methods ot making butter and cheese have been no less the subject of investigation. Inthe seven years which have elapsed since the establishment of the Dairy Commissioner, the export of Canadian cheese to Great Britain has almost doubled in value, rising from

£1,850,000 in 1889 to £3,260,000 in 1896. The growth in the butter trade has been relatively still more remarkable, rising

asthe increase in quantity,and the taken by Canadian dairy products in

place fae Koglish market ie proportionally high.’’

The Times continues its reference to

the dairy industry and has the following to say regarding this province:

*“‘As an instance of what has been effected in this direction the case of Prinee Kdward Island may be qnoced. In that province, admirably aa it is suited for agricultural purposes, cheese making . ad fallen, in c of the

employment of indifferent methods, into

butter aud cheese in factories which were

estaubli-hed by the pe ple of the Island

In 1892 there was only one factory Chere are now foriv factories The vaine | of the outpu: of butier and cheese had risen in 1&95) from practically nothing three vears before to $35,000, and it has

since considerably increased.

After referring to the great total increase in the quantity and quality of Cauadian dairy and other products the Times expresses the opinion that with care ar d intelligent organization the agricultural resources of Canada are susceptible of very rapid development and that the commer- cial output of foodstutfs mey for a long

be

creasea. lt also speaks «

time to come almost indefinitely to- f the necessity of applying to trade methods and the aystem of transportation the principles of investigation and experiment which have been applied to the development of pro-

ductive enterprise.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Gazette: The vacancy in the postmastership of Goderich, the tilling of which by the son-in-law ot Mr. Cameron, M. P , has led toa split in tne local Liber- al party, was caused by the dismissal of a Conservative official on the ground that his conduct was partisanly offensive to the present temporary political majority. It seems to be one of the worst “dida’t know it was loaded” cases that has turned up for some time.

Montreal Gazette : In the diseussion of the prefereptial clauses of the tariff, Sir L. H Davies, for the Government, in giving his Opinion that there was no obligation on Canada to give German, Belgium, France, ete, goods the same customs privileges as were accorded to British merchandise, asked for even a second-c!ass lawyer’s opinion that the Conservative con- tention was correct. He has since receiv - ed the opinions of the atturney-general and solicitor general of England that Tupper was right apd Davies wrong. “Sir Wilfrid Laurier, also spoke emphae uically as follows, in answer to Mr. Foster : “I say decidedly that it does not apply to either Belgiam or Germany.” He now sees that Foster was right and Laurier was wrong. Novices should be careful, not only of what they do but of what they say about such business matters as tariffs aud treaties.

St.John Sun: The Canadian port in Maine is excited over the ten per cent. discriminating duty. The board of trade of Portland bas passed a series of resulu- tions against the levy of the surtax on goods imported into the United States by wavy of Canada. The tusiness men of Portland say that the measure is in the interest of the southern system of railways against the northern system. Maine is in terested in the nothern lines. Moreover the sharp Portland men understand that if Canadian porte are not good enough for the importation of commodities destined fcr the United States, it will probably follow that United States ports like Portland will not be good enough for points of entry for merchandise destined for Canadian consumption. Ifthe United States will not permit the importation of goods by way of Montreal or Vancouver, Canada will stop the importation by way of Portland and Boston. That’s what’s the matter with the Portland board of trade.
