Excerpt from To Canada, and Through It, With the British AssociationA competition that is interesting and important in a high degree is going on between the farmers of the Old Country and those of the New and it naturally involves fiscal problems which affect already, and in the future will much more alfect, the condition of agriculture in both countries. Of the modern and more striking features of this rivalry our fathers had no conception whatever, nor had we a decade and a half ago but with the older ones we had been familiar for some time before, though even now we do not apprehend the full scope of the in¿uence which they will exert in the future. That the competition will become keener on the part of the new country, as well as greater in volume, is clearly enough seen but we cannot foretell the lines on which it will be de ve10ped, or the surprises that may be in store. In this age. Of steam and electricity, and of multifari ous inventions, new and unlooked-for factors are being brought into play, and these involve the adoption of various modifications in farming practices. The twin principles of progress and adaption are at work to-day in agriculture as they have not aforetime been, and nothing, even in agriculture, is so inevitable as the unforeseen. Of this, a striking instance is seen in the transatlantic trade in fresh meat, so recently developed, and not less so in that of live animals.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
