GILBERT Despite the emcemely cold weather on Friday night Lhere was a. good at- tendance of the public to hear. the addreSSes of Mr. A. G. Gilbert, oi - .-_A the Experimental Farm._ Ottawa, and Mr. Wm. Flavelle. The subject was, "The value of the poultry industry 10 Canada.” Both gentlemen were listened to with great interest, the audience evidently appreciating Mr. Gilbert’s instructive address which he sandwiched with spices of humor, whilst the figures Mr. Flavelle» put forward relating to his own firm’s ex- penditure in the poultry industry during the past year., the quantity of eggs and poultry raised and exported and the great demand for the same, certainly surprised his hearers. The chair was taken by the Mayor, Dr. Vrooman, who in his openingre- marks said he much regretted the e}:- treme cold weather had been the means of keeping many away, but it pleased him to see such a represenâ€" tative gathering. Some short time ago a. number of our citizens had met and had organized the association, now known as the Lindsay, Poultry and Pet Stock Association, with what success the publicgcould see for themselves. Its object was certainly a good one for this and kindred as- sociations were educative in every way. Personally, he was not prepar- ed to see such a fine exhibition, he had been surprised at the fine quality of the birds shown. In his opinion it was the best exhibition of its kind he had ever. seen. Until quite recently he had taken very little interest in the poultry industry, but now he had seen what a wonder- fully remarkable_ bird the hen was, and what a valuable. industry poultry raising was to the country. “Why,” said the Mayor, “I think every time in the future, when I see a hen, I’ll take off my hat to it.” (Laughter.) 4.. .. ins..-“ Lunc Uu. Au_y n..- -v _- _ Great interest was being evinced all over the country in the business. The products of Canada were fast gaining ground in the: old world {mar- kets. particularly in Great Britain. The latter country imported annual- 1y 100,000,000 dozen eggs, of which Canada. only supplies one twentieth; 500.000,000 pounds of butter and Wedding R1113 Whoever has an ENGAGEMENT orWEp- DING RING to buy can haveih‘dxmmuym selecting one here.

Until he had taken very in the poultry industry, ad seen what a. wonder- (‘ana-da only exported 35 or 40 mil- lions of this amount. Here was a great market for us. The day will certainly arrive when Great Britain will give us the preference which has been advocated, but which was rec- ently turned down. The cheese mar- ket in Great Britain we can almost say we control for of the 300,000,- 000 pounds imported there,. we ex- port 240,000,000 pounds. Farm op- erations in Ontario, continued the Mayor, are altogether turned around. Time Was when wheat and grain 'were the staple products, and chickens were not considered worth anything, Nov. stock was to the fore, horses, sheep, cattle and dairy produce. and the great Northwest was supplying the wheat. The time was coming, the Mayor, concluded, when Canada would supply Great Britain. The Lindsay orchestra then favored the audience with a. selection which was much appreciated and heartily applauded. i- . . ,‘,,_ ._I If... if the audience would permit, could talk until the morning on the sub- ject, he was so full of it. Personally he would speak for theindustry in a commercial way, for he had little or no experience in the care and raising of birds. Very few people were aware of the importance of the in- dustry. Why if he were to give the actual figures of eggs produced, poulâ€" try raised, etc., throughout the Doâ€" minion, they would be of such mag- nitude that people would be unable to graSp them. Therefore he propos- ed to give figures connected with his own business, which would serve the purpose just the same, and be more readily understood. In their business, in all branches, for the past year they had paid out for eggs, $400,000. These were sim- ply surplus eggs that ,were sold after family needs, etc., had been supplied, and only represented oneâ€"tenth of the eggs actually produced. If the far-; uiers had sold' all the eggs produced they would have made $4,000,000. Now, it has been thoroughly tested and proycd that eggs can be produc- ed for «5 a cent each. The ordinary 1farmer either in Canada or the Unit- Led States cannot produce at that price, but with care and intelligence it can be done. Now at this rate the the cost of the production of the $400,000 worth of eggs. would be $140,000 which would give the farmâ€" ers a profit. of over $200,000. We now find that the total production ~of eggs annually is worth 34.000.000. The hen at the present day instead of averaging twa hundred eggs an- nually only produces sixty. :_J.A11£Mnnn “1.119;“ ...... The chairman then introduced Mr. Wm. Flavelle who said' it was a plea.â€" sgre to be associated with Mr. Gil- bert to speak on the poultry indus- try. He would not take up much time for Mr. Gilbert he Well. knew. uuAAJ v...., r- - _V, With proper care and intelligence the former figure can be reached, which would then bring the total product of eggs to a. value of from twelve to fifteen million dollars.

Our owu firm have been credited with doubling the price of poultry, and have been roundly. found nfault with. This was hardly fair. ‘When they started marketing poultry W116 quality was extremely poor. The British market demanded a better quality of birds. A number of his audience would remember a Mr. Sil- verwood who came out some years ago and gave a series of lectures. These had certainly proved of value, for whereas birds at that time only 3.. _-AL weighed two and three pounus t'uuu, the bird marketed toâ€"day was twice that weight and a finer one in every respect. With regard to the poultry, they had spent in poultry $100,000, which sum was made up as follows : for turkeys, $38,000, geese $12,000 : ducks $10,000 and for chickens $40; LINDSAY Optician 2dwt. were increased in value to $4,000.â€" 000. These figures woxfld‘ show the value 0! eggs and poultry shipped by one firm from a limited district and he would like them to reach them. of every farmer. The past (e years had been very hard on turke , and this was the cause of the high pric- es, but if the weather was good dur- ing the coming year more turkeys would be raised, and this year in- stead of (expending $38,000. he thought the firm's bill would run nearer $100,000. \ _ After the orchestra had again fav- ored the audience with a. selection, Dr. Vrooman introduced AL wvv-v .- v-7- 7 not buy in such quantities as Fla~ ,velles Limited. but with whom he wOuld like our farmers to get in con- tact.

Another was rea from Mr. Walter Paul, offering 50¢ per dough for new laid eggs, whilst the third firm, John Robertson . Son, of the same city, oflered 45¢ per dozen. “There's the demand; where’s the supply,” aSRed Mr.‘ Gilbert. Now ybu know there‘is a market.

GILBERT. ’ y who expressed his delight at the magnificentexhibition, his thanks to the association for their very kind invitation, and also for theyleasure it had worded him to meet many old fri-ds. In his opinion the show was the .best first poultry show of any association in Canada. This would seem like giving them tally, but it was the truth. There was one thing he would like to see im. proved ppon next ‘year; he advised) the. use of iron ‘coops, and more space was required-.’ With regard to the birds exhibited. in some classes they could not be beaten. During the whole of his experience as poultry manager at Ottwwa; he had had to travel from one end of the Dominion to the otheruand had come in conâ€" tact with all phases: of human life. and it often puzzled him when ad. dressing audiences on such a dry sub.- jeCt as the hen, how to keep many of them interested. There was an old saying and it was a true one, "that you can reach a man through his pocket," or in other words, you appealed to his cupidity. He had letters from Montreal firms who do do so.( The eggs can be expresseu at the rate of 2 cents per dozen and crates returned free: Why years ago the farmer would say, that with the increased production, the prices would decrease, and it would not be worth the while bothering with. Well, we have increased the produc- tion, increased thegprices. decreased the export. Great Britain now pays high prices, but she must We the; velry best, andQnow we are in such a1 position that we can supply this deâ€" mand. Now the question arises, how can we produce the eggs that command thexprice. The first thing necessary is to get the proper kind of fowl, and it was just as necessary to get a good strain in the fowl as in horâ€". ses or cattle.
