It is a fact patent to every observing farmer, that year by yaar the dairy interest is receiving increased atten- tion, and wbile the results have been, on the whole, satisfactory, when com- paied with the profits from strain crops, yet there's room for improve- \vment. As far as the cheese manufac- turing is concerned, Canada holds a prominent and enviable position. Canadian cheese commands th^ high- est price in foreign markets, not so the bntter, however. Why is this We think the reason is plain, viz., cheese is raannfactured on scientific piinciples factories are built for the purpose, tbe machinery used is made for the business, and of the most im- proved kind every gallon of milk is tested, on entering the factory as to its purity and last, but not least, the manufacturer or foreman, must be a practical cheese makei, who has £one through his apprenticeship and thoroughly learned his business. We venture to say that if Canadian cheese was made in the same maimer as tbe great bulk of butter, our reputation in foreign markets would be in as bad a state to-day as it is for butter. There are certainly many good" butter mak- ers in the country, yet how extremely •difficult a matter it is to secure even a small supply of palatable butter for home consumption. Why should this be the ease The fact of the matter is, farmers cannot afford to provide ' proper ways and means for the manu- facture of batter. It would require a very considerable outlay, and the pro- fits from sis or eyen a, dozen cows would not warrant such an expendi- ture, hence the difficulty cannot be overcome in this way. What means can then be adopted? We believe that until the country is dotted with «i-eameiies or butter factories, as it is now vrith cheese factories, the present very uu satisfactory state of affairs must continue. Cheese factories have wrought a wonderful improvement in the dairy, business, and will continue to fill a felt want, yet we find from statistics that there is more butter made tlian before cheese factories were known, even in our immediate vicinity. Our Markdale cheese lactory has turned out this season nearly 1,400 boxes, or 90,205 lbs., yet there ts as much butter marketed this sea- son as there was before the cheese factory was established, shewing clearly that more attention is being paid to this class of farming. The butter factories would not therefore •conflict with cheese making, but "would save farmers the expense of V each providing for himeelf a proper way for the manufacture of butter, as a little more than the expense which one farmer would require to make, would answer a whole neighborhood, and besides, the quality of butter would be so improved as to add fully one-third to the price realized, which would far more than pay for all tlie cost of manufacture. It cannot be expected that a tab of batter can be made with anilorm color and taste, which requires four or five weeks to make it, while on the other hand, a creamery would turn out a dozen or twenty tubs at one churning. This question is of yital importance to the farmer, and none tbe lass to the merchant, and we trust they may dis- cuss the matter, not only «rbally, but through the prosa. Our columns are open, and we will be glad to have ^onr opinion. Baitlefobd, Nov. 27.â€" Eight In- dians concerned in the Frog Lake massacre were hanged her« at 8.15 this morning. There was no hitch whatever. The court sentenced eleven to death, bat on Saturday night a respite came for Charlebois, alias Ducharme, and Dressy Man, who killed a crazy woman m Big Bear's camp and Louison Mongrain, who shot a mounted policeman at Pitt, had his sentence commuted to imprisonment for life. At 7.80 o'clock each man was pinioned, and guarded on either side, narched to the scaffold, taking his place on the trap. When they ere asked if they had anything to say. Wandering Spirit began to speak in his native tongue, acknowledging that he deserved death. He warned his people not to make war on the whites, a they were their friends. He told ©f the Frog Lake massacre and took the burden of the crime upon himself. He was followed by Miserable Man, who spoke in the same strain. When he bad Jconcluded the savages, who had" remained quiet throughout the speeches, except to exclaim "How I" at various periods during Wandering Spirits address, when they coincided in his views. Then they began to chant their death scng to show that they did not fear death. All the while the priejsts could be heard recit- ing prayers. The. chanting of the savages continued even after the white caps had been adjusted, and in the midst of their song the bolt was drawn and all fell together, everyone apparently dying instantly. Dr. Eolph examined the bodies and pronounced life extinct. After bacging fifteen minutes the bodies were eut down and put in coffins and handed over to the coroner and jury. All the arrangements had been cal- culated with precision, and as a result the execution occurred witliout auy mishap. /The Indians who stood at a distance and witnessed the affair were veiy quiet, and the silence was only broken by the wailing of the wives of ihe condemned .men. The savages generally set out for their reserves after the execution, and those who re main show no special signs of excite- ment. ' Fai tew 1ii»Wtei». With th« obj«et of eneonraging tb« formation of Farmers' Institutes in the ProTince, and of securing a decree of permdneney for them, the Cena- missionor of Agricuitaire obtamed from the Legislative Assembly last session authority tu make a grant of twenty- five dollars yearly to one such mstitute in each electoral district: The grant however, is conditioned upon an equal sum being Toted by the County Council of the county withiu which the electoral district is situated, and subject to the. following regulations, framed and approved by tbe com- missioner 1. That each institute shall be com- posed of not less than fifty members, who shall each pay a fee of not less that twenty-tire cents annually. 2. That there shall be an executive, or board of management, consisting of a president, a vice-president, a secretary and five or ipore directors, and a majority of the board shall be practicar farmers, 8. That the institute shall hold al least two meetings each ysar, in dif- ferent parts of the electoral district, for the discussion of agricultural sub- jects. The proposition of the commissioner was submitted to the various county councils of the province by a circular issued last May, and the hope express- ed that action would be taken upon it at the June sessions. It is understood that in many counties the necessary appropriation has been made and that already a number of institutes have been or- ganized; but in order that any in- stitute may benefit by the grants of this year it is essential that two meetings be held before the dose of tbe year, as provided in No. S of the commissioner's regulations. The prolessors of the agricultural college will be able to assist at a limited number of those meetings in December, at twelve or fifteen in January, 1886, and at others occasion- ally, as their duties at the college may allow.
