PRAISE FOR MOUNT CARGILL, FARMERS.
Yesterday Mr Dunlop paid a visit to Mount Curgill aud inspected some of tho dairy farms in that district. "I saw dairy farming there under difficulties," remarked Mi' Dunlop. _" It is very steep and difficult land, but it in the price of sweet milk that enables them to cultivate that land. . Still, they pay very high rent for it. Tho herds strike mo as capable of improvement; but you arc developing a fine class of farmer (hero, and tho man who can farm in that district can farm anywhere. It certainly demands hard work, energy, and perseverance.
"Tho fine quality of the oats and tho splendid green pastures have mado our hearts warm," concluded Mr Dunlop, "and this, together with the configuration of tho country and tho largo numbor of Scottish folk settled here, has reminded us very much of Scotland."
