be made to much greater advantage thau by takiugupon one's self the 

 cost and loss of time that a journey creates. 



The clubs and agricultural societies can benefit by the services of 

 these syndicates by affiliating themselves with one, at a cost of ten 

 dollars ; individual subscription, one dollar. 



The Department has absolutely no connection with these bodies, 

 which are entirely out of its control. Still I think it is my duty to 

 recommend them to the agricultural public, as they may turn out to 

 be very useful to it. 



Conclusion. 



I beg to thank the House for its kind attention, for the marks of 

 sympathy I have received from, I may say, both sides. I would re- 

 quest the assistance of all men of good will, of all those who have at 

 heart the prosperity of our agriculture, to see that our schools over- 

 flow with pupils (a guarantee of a permanent agricultural success) ; 

 that creameries aiM cheeseries be erected where none as yet exist (a 

 guarantee that our farming is at once to become profitable) ; that 

 farmer's clubs be established where there are none ; that coloiiisation 

 be properly organised, that a hand be extended to the settler to lead 

 him to good land, to protect and encourage hira when settled there ; 

 that those of our con 'ry men who have emigrated, and who are now 

 far from prospering abroad, be brought back to our old parishes ; that 

 emigration from our parishes be abolished, and that every Canadian 

 find a happy home in his own country. Our bankers say that this 

 year our dairy industry has made our province secure and wealthy. 

 Let us continue that which has been so well begun.
