DR JENKINS INTERVIEWED,
The Mail Service aud the Dairy Iut rest
De. Jenkins, the popular candidate for the representation of Queen’s West, was seen to-day by a reporter for Tue Ex- AMINER,
ln reply to the question of the day, he said that he had just been in consultation with Messrs. Brecken and Lord, and had telegraphed for information as to whether atug boat could ply between Caurlotte- towu and Cape Tormentine, carrying the mails, while the Stanley remains block aded in Pictou harbor. He said that in, bis opinion, Mr. Brecken ought not to be blamed on account of the delay ; for he bad strong]? urged the Marine Department to maintain the service at the Capes until the continued paseage of the Straits by the Stanley was absviutely beyond a duubt. As it was, he thought that tLe despatch of a@tog totake the mails, until the wnd changes, would be the most satisfactory way out of the difficulty.
Coscerning the dairying interest Dr. Jenkins said that he had telegraphed aud written to Senator Ferguson that the with- drawal of the Government management would, iu bis opinion, be injurious and requested that the matter be reconsidered with a view to the retention of the man agement by the Government for the pres- eat year at least, with the understaading that next year the older factories weuld be required to act for themselves.

The committee resumed its work at 2
o’clox k, April Rib, 189.
Mr. Sydney Richardson, of St. Elean
} ’ } or 4 examined
Mr. Sinclair—How is your factory at St
| Eleanor’s operated, Mr. Richardson ? Is it
owned by a company or is it your own ?
Mr. Richardson—I own it. Mr. Sinclair—What hae your success Have you turned out much cheese ? Mr. Richard-on—About thirty tons last season in 102days. We commenced mak ¢ on the 3rd of June and clused at the That gives 102 days. Mr. Sinclair —Where did you fiad mar-
| | ket for your cheese ?
Mr. Richardson—We sold them al] on
| the Island.
Mr. Sinclair —How did you find the mar- ket ?
Mr. Richardeon— Very low
Mr. Sinclair—How was it the year be fore ?
Mr. Richardson—In 1894 we got ten and ten and a half conte, and in 1895
eight and nine centa. That is delivered in Summerside, no expense at all,
Mr. Sinclair—Had you any trouble in selling all that you could make on the Is- land ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir. ween nine and ten hundred summer.
Mr. Sinclair—Do you season it ently in your own factory ?
Mr. Richardson—Yes, sir.
Mr. Sinclair-—Do you not find the want of cold storage ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir, I de not be-
be last
I made boxes
suftic:-
| hieve in cold storaze for cheese
Mr. McDonald— Would not cold storage be of advantage in preventing shrinkage ?
Mr. Richardson—No, I do not think it would be. There not.very much shrinkage after it is cured. It does not lose very much after six weeks or two months,
Mr. Aitkea—Would itlose enough to warrant keeping it in cold storage? Do you think placing it in cold storage would be a benefit ?
Mr. Richardson— No, sir, jit would nct.
Mr. Sinclair — Then you think the shriokage would not be enough to pay for cold storage.
Mr. Richardson—No, sir.
Mr. Aitken—W hat did your patrons re— alize for their milk this year per hundred?
Mr. Richardson—About 56 cents; the year before 72 c-nts. The patrons got the money in }894 che let of November and ia 1895 about the 10th.
Mr. Sinclair—You buy the milk, Mr. Richardson, from the patreus and they bave no further interest. Isthis what I am fo understand ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir, I don’t buy the inilk. I manufacture like the other factories for 24+. per lb, and pay all ex- penses. I haul the milk and pay the ex- pense.
Mr. McWilliams—Do you think that ecld storage would be any benefit to the farmers of this Province for their cheese ?
Mr. Richardson—No sir, [do not.
Mr. Mc Williams—Do you think it would be advisable for the Government of this Province to build cold storage for the ben- efit of the farmers?
Mr. Richardson—No sir, not for cheese.
Mr. Sinclair—Do you know any other factory which manages to sell all its cheese on the Island ?
Mr. Richardson—No sir, I do not.
Mr. Sisclair—You work matters more advantageously than the others.
Mr. Aitken—What yould you do if the market was glutted and you could not find sale here for your cheese.
Mr. Richardson—I would ship direct to England.
is
Mr. Aitken—You think you would not ship to any other place. Mr. Richardson—No s'r, I would not.
Mr. Aitken—Do you think it would be to our advantage te put it in cold atorage at Halifax?
Mr. Richardson—No sir, I hai rather take the the market as it happened to be and ship fifty or one hundred boxes ata time, We did that before.
Mr. Aitken—Did you find a satis- factory market.
Mr. Richardson—Yee air. In 1894 we shipped to Eng!an}. St. Eleanors can, I think, take the the credit of shipp'ng the first cheese sent from hereto the English market.
Mr. J. A. McDonald—How long has your cheese factory been in operation ?
Mr. Richardson—Since 1883.
Mr. Sinc'air—Do you engage butter making business at all ?
Mr. Richard-on — No Sir.
Mr. McWilliams — Then, from your personal knowledge of the manufacture of cheese, vou think there is-no need of cold storage in this Province ?
Mr. Richardson -If cheese is properly made, there is no need of it at all. That is my experience.
Mr. McWilliams—Hare you teated and weighed the cheese in order to ascertain whether there is shrinkage enough to pay for cold storage ?
Mr. R'chard-oa —Last July, when our June cheese was about six weeks old, I boxed up a few in ord r to make room for more. Ll tox-d about twenty. When | put themin the boxes I weighed them, and when I evld them I weighed them
in the
again. Out of the whole lot I found only one on which I had to change the mark. It bad shrunk a little Jess than
one pound. They were boxed in July and weighed aga n in October. If they did not weigh sixty lbs, or a little under, I would have to change the figure to fifty-mine, but I only hid to change one.
Mr. Sinelair—They did not go down so far that you had to change the weight.
Mr. RcharJson—Just one box out of the twenty shrank enough to make it ne- c s*ary to change the amount.
Mr. J. A, McDonald—You think, then, that it wou'd not pay you to put the cheese in cold storage for what you lost by slr nkage ?
Mr. Ricaardsoa-—No, sir; I don’t think it would be right. It would not be doing justice to the patrons to put it in cold storage, simply because the cost of cold storage, freight and everything would have to come out of the cheese.
Mr. Sinclair—What is the cost of cold storage per box ?
Mr. Aitken—Three and one-half cents per month.
M;. Richardson —I have put a few ac counts of ssles of cheese forthe second year the factory was running in my pocket. In 1884 we sh pped summer cheese to Eng- land and thev were proncunced fine and brought the highest price going. I shipped June and July cheese in August of that yearand this isthe account of sales: It brought 56 shillings per bhundrgd—the highest price going at that time. The same
ear we shipped sixty-three boxes of late make. They were September cheese, and we shipped them in the last of October or first of November. The. price of cheese was then 63 shillings per hundred. Just as that cheese got there we received this

letter stating 63 shillings to be the price, but that cheese brought 64 shillings. The price went up after the letter was written and we got tne top of the market. ©The
| cheese were sent to Messrs. Pitcairn Bros.,
There is another firm of Pit- cairns in Loadon. We shipped to both firma, and also to R. M. C. Stumbles, of Liverpool, and all brought the same price
Mr. Sinclair— What way did you ship ?
Mr. Richardson—To Halifax and then to Livorpool by steamer. We could get cheese from Summerside to Halifax cheap er, L think, than we could ehip them to Cnarlotteiown. The through rates are very jow to Halifax.
Mr. Sinclair—Did you pay freight by the hundred-pound or by the box ?
Mr. Richardson—I do not know that. The charges were deducted at the other end by the commission merchants.
Mr. Sinclair—Did you not make the sale here then.
Mr. Richardson—No sir, I consigued the cheese.
Mr. Sinclair—What would be the charge from Summereide to Hali ax?
Mr. Richardson—I have not charge.
Mr. Aitken—Do you remember what it netted you per lh. that year.
Mr. R chardson— It netted 10) cts.
Mr. Aitken—Is that shipping to Eng- land and paying all expenses ?
Mr. Ricvardaon—Yee sir, We shipped 200 or 250 boxes.
Mr. J. A. McD .nald—Wou'd you con s der celd sturage beneficial for fru:t aud other things ?
Mr. Richardson—-Well sir, I am not in & position to talk about anything outside of my own business.
Mr. Sinclair—Have you any fear that you may not be able to ficd market for all the cheese you manufacture ?
Mr. Richardson—-No eir, I have not. Of course, we can only judge from the past.
Mr. Sincla r—And vou say your cheese kept well ?
Mr. Richardson—Yesa sir, we never lost a pound.
Mr. McWilliams—Do you think cheese can be kept for the whole summer from June to October without cold stor ge.
Mr Richardson—Yes er { bsd 800 in my factory last fall. They had be:n kept there right along. Some had been sold from time to time and the balance in the fall was 860.
Mr. McWilliams-—Do you think th: value lost by shrinkage would be any:h'ng like as much as the co t of cold storage t» the patrons.
Mr. Richardson—No sir. Of course, this is my first trial by wejghing cheese. I never tried it before. We only manyfacture for the four months; most other factories run in October and even up into Nobem- ber.
Mr. Sinclair—Would not October be a

good month in which to maoufacture cheese. Mr. Richardsen—Yes sir, I would
ke to manufacture in October but mijk would be scarce. It would be nicer mann - facturing in the fa]! than in the hot weather.
Mr. Aitken— Would it not be too cold to dry it? Mr. Richardson—No sir. Iu June
when we firet make cheese we have to have a fire for severa] days to dry up the dampness.
Mr. Sinclair—I know that your factory stands high in the estimation of the country.
Mr. Aitken—Do you think there is a possibility of this industry being over- done ?
Mr. Richardson—That isa hard ques- tion to answer. I do not feel anxious tor my Own part.
Mr. Aitken—TI supoose the farmers are the people to feel anxious.
Mr. Richardson—I am hoping that prices may be better another year. Prices were low last year.
Mr. J. A. McDonald—If not properly marufactured would cheese be more likely to shrink. It has been stated before us that cheese would shrink a pound a month unless jn cold storage.
Mr. Richardson—Well a soft cheese would shrink more than a cheese that was made firm.
Mr. McWilliams—We have al-o been told that cheese cannot be manufactured so as to keep in this climate without a heavy ehrinkage unless in cold storage. This is what we want to know about, and l think you have shown us very clearly that there is not any shrinkage of any account.
Mr. Richardson—There will be a ehrink- age from the time the cheese is made for about six weeks, After that time has ex- pired the shrinkage will be very little.
Mr. J. A. McDonald—You do not pur them in the boxes, I suppose, until they are dry ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir. I have shelf- room to store about 500 cheese, and then to make room [ put some away in boxes. My habit is to put them in without weigh- ing them, and take them outand weigh when sold and ready to be delivered.
Mr. McWilliams—Am I toinfer from what you tay tbat if there was cold storage here you would not put your cheese in it ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir, I would not. I have run the business for thirteen years and Kept all the cheese in the factory until the fall, and I have never had any com- plaint. I would not consider I was doing my patrons justice if [ went to the expease of putting the cheese in cold storage.
Mr. Sinclair—You think you would not be doing yeur patrons justice by incurring the expense. :
Mr. Richardson —Certainly not. I would be taxing the patrons, as al! woul have to come out of the cheese in the erd.
Mr. Sinclair—Do you consider the cli- mate of this country suitable for manu- tacturing cheese ?
Mr. Richardson—Yes, «ir; we have a different climate here to what they have in Ontario. It is very hot there in summer. This climate is about the finest in the world for cheese-making.
Mr. MeWilliams—I consi fer it our duty to look at the matter fairly and see that our farmers are done justice in this mat- ter. Cold storage is now taking $4,000 out of the farmers of this Province yearly, and if it can be dene withont, there is no need of having thia expense added to the cort of manufacturing our cheese.
Mr. Richardson—I would not have any need for cold storage.
Mr. Sinclair — You could ship the cheese to+ Halifax by steamers rumning there once a week.
Mr. Richardson—Yes, sir.
Mr. Sinclair—Did you learn the busi ness On the Island ?
Mr. Richardson —No, sir; in Oatario.
Mr. Sinclair—Did you then come dowa and take charge of a factery ! :
Mr. Richardson—When it was started it was run by acompany, and I made their cheese for them.
Mr. Sinclair—Is the factory owned by a company now ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir. I bought it about three years ago.
Mr. Sinclair—Did you say that you only charge them 24c. for everything ?
Mr. Richardson—Yes, sir, and I pay all nses Out of that. r. Sinclair—Did you in the last year give them 56 cents ?
Mr. Richardson—Very nearly, a fraction
under,
ex
———— er er
Mr. Sinclair—How much the year be- fore ?
Mr. Richardson—In 1894 an average of T2 cents. Sixty-eight aud a half wag the average at Dunk River. '
Mr. Sinclair—It looks as if it were go- ing to be pretty low this year. Wuhatdo you suppose is the cause of the fall in the price of cheese?
Mr. Richardson—My opinion is that it was because there were a good many spec- ulating the year before last aud many lost ou it. Cheese went up and then went down and a good many cheese-dealers lost
Mr. Sinclair—You do not think it was because there was a larger quantity manu- factured ?
Mr, Richardson—No, sir. I think it was owing to speculation and noty hegause the English market wae glutted.
Mr. Sinclair—Do you allow the patrons to take the whey home ?
Mr. Richardson—No, sir.
Mr. Sinclair—You bave that for your- self, then. What do youdo with it?
Mr, Richardvon—lI feed it to pigs. Itis my intention to send it back to them this ve ar.
Mr. Aitken—Do you think it hurts the cans to send the whey back ?
M-. Ricbardson—Yes Sir. Ido unless great care is taken of them. © Of course, the cheese maker has the privilege of re- jecting all milk that is uofic for cheese makiug, and [ am very particular on that point. TI only had to send back two cans last season and the milk in those was thick an account of mornings milk being mixed with the nights without being a lowed to cool.

Interview With Sir Donald Smith,
Orrawa, April 10.
In the House of Commons the Grit ob- structionists cont:nue to get in their work. Yesterday the talk was centred chiefly around the appointment of Mr. Maseon to a judgeship, several Grit members con- demning Masson for taking the judgeship, and the Government for giving it te him. The early hoursofthe morning saw the same obstructive tactics pursued with un- varying monotony. There being an unusual dearth of incident, members rose and said their lityle pieces and then dropped out. Shortly before 10 a.m. Mr Martin got the floor, and held it from that until recess. Last evening there were numerous scraps.
During recess a conference of the lead- ers was held, when it was decided to put an end to the farce which had been enact- ed for the lastto days, and immediately after the speaker had resumed the chair the house got down to business on the bill. Clause 9 has been reached.
The Governor General spent several hours at his office yesterday, when Sir Donald Smith had a lengthy interview with him. Sir Donald was asked by your correspondent if he knew anything of the object of Mr. Greenway’s visit to Ottawa. He replied in the nega- tive. “Then his yisit is no part of a pro- gramme arranged while you were in Winnipeg,” Sir Donald was asked.
The reply was that Greenway’s visit was not arranged for by the commis- sioners, nor had his mission, to far as_ he was aware, any connection with the ne- gotiations of the conference.
In course of further conversation, Sir Donald expressed himself as exceedingly hopeful that the school question would be amicably disposed of within three months.
