The Exeter Advocate, 1891-12-31, Page 4THE SANDERS & SWEET, Props: THURSDAY, Dec, 31st, 1891, INTERESTING TO FARMERS Everything that is of interest to our farmers is of positive value to every other class in the community. Vire snake no apology, lology, therefore, for utiliz- ing' the practical information Brought out by the, Iron. Mr. Carrie , Minister of agriculture, and by Prof. Saunders, Director of the Experimental Farm at Ottawa, at a meeting of representitive farmers recently held in Dorchester, Ont. Mr. Carling• in contrasting the present state of agriculture in Canada with what it was fifty years ago, re- ferred to the facilities; now afforded for cultivating large areas, and to the un- eteual bountiful harvest of last'season, in Ontario alone the valise of cereals leave increased to $14,000,000 oTer the previous years .growth; while other farm products had shodrn a fair return What had given an impetus to farming operations, was the fact that parliament had cheerfully endorsed the govern nient's actionr • i ts premoting the otnot t ., interests of the farming community in every ay, b3• the introduction of new kinds of seed by establishing experimental farms in the different Provinces of the Dominion. Another way in which a• rieulture would be encouraged was by the introduction of a new test b.eolc on :that subject into our common schools. The opening up of new markets came in fora full share of attention. Owing. to the high tariff put by the American congress on Canadian products, our farmers bought fresh outlets in Eng' land and Europe; and the:result show that in the British markets a ready sale wasfound for almost everything that we could produce, while in certain articles such as barley and eggs—the trade in which the grits declared would e killed by the I'dcKiniey tariff nearly 500,000 bushels of barley found its way into the Dritieh market during the past season, and 2,230,000 dozens of eggs. Mr. Carling went into. a full analysis of the market in the old country, that in horses, cattle, lambs, hogs, beef, &c., an immense trade had sprung up which. proved highly remunerative to the far- mers besides stimulating them to great er efforts for improvement ni view of a steady and iric•easing demand in the future. Still their was room for great improvement in the quality and ex tent of pork raising. Our farmers had not done themselves justice in this depart- ment, and might learn much from in- formation to be had from the esperi- Inental farm at Ottawa, in the matter of bog raisin' and feeding. ;Two roti: ed barley -vas also gone into by the mini- stee of Agriculture, showing that the inerican only of 30 per cent was al- most nrohibitor•y,—and. that from ex- periments already made in Canada this product would be more profitable than the six rowed barley because' better suited to the maltsters of GreatBritain and also because it yielded mote to the acre and -weighed more to the •bushel Specimens. bad been sent this season to England, through the .High Commis sioner in London who called back sev- eral telegrams pronouncing favorably on the samples forwarded. Mr. Carling b in passing atOnfled to Unrestricted Re- i c procrtsr, as.,eitutbg. that it was, a mea - sire fraught with danger to Canada. .Prof. Saunders -next followed With.. a praetical address on dairying and the export of butter and cheese. Although Canadian cheese now held a first rank in the English market Mir English , butter Was of an inferior quality—and we do not Rend two percent of theq uantity that the British market consumes. The plan. now being adopted bythe goyeenmene. was to turn the cheese factories: which were only worked 'during the :summer Season, into winter dairies—and to aim .at producing a superior article of hut - ter by employing the best methods and establishing winter creameries similar to the experience of Denmark; thus Creating a new and profitable industry whieh will largely increase the , profits cif our of rieu;tural community.- A series of such public meetings as that held its Dorchester for diffusing practi- eal information among the fariners, es• pedally the ,yoang men, would prove of vast conseeene ice in disseminating the latest views and the most modern :methods of agriculture, g use, stacltr'aisnr;•, ;and dairying, It is but just to state that Prof. Saunders paida high p sigh eom liment to Canadian • farmers p for their intelligence androgressivenes9 - p b , con .. trastrng in this prospect most favoi•mbl. y With the same class in the Western States with whom be had come into c mists t. a e The last ieeito of the Cano,Oin, G'a� sr, to f . ondoln tneel<tnd contei ,G,oI c, anst)ic Y9 oliowrng:ltartrgiiplr of enconee?seinent to our fainters:,—We are glad to learn that the samples of Centediee two row.. td barley teceixcd by the Iligh Corti ririssionor from the 1)ondeiou lliiuistel of Agr•ieult ure,ancl distributed through out thecountr,h, Kaye attraeted wide spread attention among maltsters and, dealersand have led to offers to pnr• chase large quantities. Some of the samples were adjudged to be superior in color alai general plumpness to any- thiug upon the London market, and as such would command high prices. The probability efcourse, is that as an ex• periment of cultivating this two rowed burley in Canada only commenced two seasons ago. most Canadian growers will retain the bulls of this year's pro- duce for seed, but the prospect for the future is most,,eneouragin•.
