Nos. l*and 3 are the only estimates
brought down to the House by me. No. 2 was never submitted to the House and was never intended to be. No. 4 was given notite of on the: order paper but never discussed in the House and was not passed even to the committee stage. No. 5, as to amount, is a pure invention of Sir Richard’s, A resolution was given notice of taking power to build certain branch lines in P. E. Island, but it never reach - ed the committee stage. No. 6 was placed as a notice on the order paper and no further action was taker. No. 7 was simply an act of Parliament authorizing a subsidy to the fast Atlantic service when tenders had been asked and the service could be eecured on the conditions nam- ed.
Nos. 4 and 6 would have been put through bad the exigencies of the session permitted, and so, although not estimates, they are propositions for which the Liberal-Conservatives are responsible.

and farmers in various paris of the Pro« vince have demonstrated that fact to a certainty. But there has never yet been any general or combined effort towards sugar beet cultivation, nor bas there, so far as known, been any attempt to demon- Strate the porposition of saccharine mat- ter contained in the beets produced in thie Province or the amount of sugar that may be obtained from a certain quantity of them. If Mr. Martin’s suggestion should be adopted, this information may be ob- tained by means of analysis at the Experi-~ mental Fara Station ; and, having been obtained, it ie possible that capitalists may find it to their interest to supply the machinery needed to convert large quan. tities of P. E, Island grown beets into eugar.

THE SUGAR BEET.
Letter From Mr. Alexa der Mar- _ ae A
Mr. Epiror,—Interest in the cutliva~ tion of suger beets has been revived by the success of some experiments made in Michigan and other parts of the United Siutes. Some days ago Mr. G. C. Mc- Mullen, of Watertown, New York, was examined before the Committee of Agri- culture of the House of Commons here. He gave some interesting information which will likely reach the public later on. There are immense sums of money paid in Canada for sugars. If farmers could grow sugar beets, having a good per cent- age of saccharine matter, the problem would be solved. France, Germany, and some parts of the United Statss have been successful beyond the most eanguine ex- pectations.
In my opinion Prince Edware Island offers one of the best fields for experi wente—as we Lave a quick sharp soil, with a climate sufficiently» warm. My object in writing is to iaduce a number of our leading farmers to make trial experi- ments on emal! plots during the coming season. Some drills should be tried with heavy manuring and some with fertilizers. One or two will not be sufficient. Analysis could be made at the Experimertal Farm
here, In this connection I may say that 1 forwarded Prof. Shutt a sample of sugar beet, kindly sent
me by Joho Robertsoo, E q., (lakerman) who has doneso much in the iaterest of the farmers Ly experiment and investiga- tion, and the result of the anaiysis I will make known to your readers Jater on, But it will be necessary to continue thoee experiments anid in order to encourage the enterprise I will try and procure a few packages of eeed which I will supply to a limited number of farmersian P, E.I.,
on application,
Yours very truly A. Martoy.
P. S.—Ata meeting of the committee above referred to | had the pleasure of in- troducing Mr. Charles M. Jenkineon, M. P. P., of Queensland, Australia. He gave some valuable information, wiich will be ferthcoming in the report. Ex- periments had been made in Queensland with sugar beets. Sugar from the cane, which he said wae grown in Queens!ani sold for lees than 3 ‘cents per pound, which operated egainst the success of the cultivation of the evgar beet. In Canada the conditions would ve different as sugar is now sold for over twice that price.

—It is hoped that the Stanley will be thoroughly repaired during the course of the coming summer, so that she may be ready for work in the following winter.
-~-Young McDonald, whose death in Halifax is announc d_ today, belenged to No 6. Co., 820d battalion, Captain Allan. His motoer is, we learo,a sister of W. W. Wellner, Eeq., of this city. We heartily aympathize with his relatives and friends.
—Some pereons say,—“It is a pity that Mr. Peters, Q. C., had not been at Pictou yesterday, for if he had been there, we should have had a wail last evening.” This may be true. But isn’t it much more eatisfactory to know that the govern- ment is developing some respect for the Sabbath ?
--The Minister of Marine evidently knows a good thing when he has it. He iuvariab!y selects the Stanley when ice is to becut. The good and tight old Tory boat, is, sfter all,the boat which meete ihe urgent reeds of this proyince. How easily she cut her way into Summerside berbor! Isn’tit reasonable to conclude that she might better have been employed there al! winter than lying idle at the wharf in Georgetown?
