C, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915 $1.00 PER YEAR Iv*- PROIVNCE WINS HEINZE LAND DASI The supreme court of Canada-in a judgment handed down at Ottawa on Tuesday dismissed .theJ,appeal of the Heinze estate., against the province io the matter of the taxation of Columbia & Western lands. In. 1896 the late'F.. Augustus Heoize secured a large land \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd grant .for the Columbia & Western railway, and in 1898 sold out to the - Canadian Pacific railway, retaining an undivided half interest in certain blocks pi land amounting-to 600,000 acres.- Under the terms of the railway aid act by the.effluxion of time the lands became taxable. Prior to this period thts Canadian Pacific railway sold| its holdings to^, the government. From then on the lands became liable to taxation, .but as Heinze had never placed any lands in his name they became registered in the crown. The situation became complicated, for the government could neither sell nor tax because they were crown lands. In J913 ' the provincial government brought in an act giving it power to tax and sell such lands and proceeded to assess Heine's interest. In July, rr914, R. S. Lennie, appointed a judge of the court of revision to hear-au appeal, by. Heinze, gave judgment in favor of the crown. An appeal was taken to the court of appeals- at Victoria, and was dismissed by Mr. Justice Martin. The case was carried to the supreme court, Eugene Lefleur appearing for the province.,. This appeal has now been dismissed. ent it is hardly necessarv to explain, to stay-at-home Canadians how best they can fulfill their manifest duty and show the burden bearers how completely they possess their' sympathy. But the bugle blnst has its rallying power in peace as in war. To all the people, and to farmers, breeders and settlers in particular, the patriotism and production move ment that is in progress is blowing its bugle, or, in other words, carrying \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd its message. Its object is to arousee all and sundry to the part they are called on to play. That part does not of ' necessity mean harder work nor increased acreage; but it does imply the exercise of every faculty in attention and'vigil-' ancer Tt does imply in order to secure increased and improved production, by which alone cultivators- of tbe soil can contribute towards the credit of the country and em pire, the greatest care in the selec tion of seed, in the breeding of live stock and - in the economy of the land. The Bugle Blast to Canada Readers of the' newspapers and followers of the course of the war must long ago have become convinced that the situation grows more and more intense and criticel. day by day. Great Britain is faced not alone hy outside enemies, but by labor troubles and by lack of those immense internal resources in the matter of food production that Germany and Austria Hungary possess. .She can not feed herself, and is. compelled to rely largely on other countries for a supply of the necessaries of life. In sueh'case.the duty of her children is distinctly plain. It is noteworthy of her enemies that they are not only thoroughly united but that they are enduring ^vith what fortitude they possess the rigid military entorcements that are placed upon them for the conservation both of food and material. Every man, woman and child, from the kaiser down, have been put on rations. The idea is threefold\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto guard against any possible emergeacies, to mislead the foe into overeonfidence and by thoroughness to bring such pressure to bear as will hasten the final decisian. Britain is pursuing the same course. She has not yet Averill- Taylor Harold W.

The theories advanced were bucked up by ears of corn which bore blue ribbons, big potatoes just right for baking; big onions, wheat, oats and almost every other kind of vegetable in the catalogue .-which' were .prize- winners. Standardization oi! crops was nn- otlier feature that\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdreceived attention. Belter markets for their products was the tempting \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdprophecy, held up by those who urged the farr.-'ers gathered at the meeting to get together and work for a standard for (heir seed. if anyone doubted that com could be raised in tho'northern part of Ihe state he should have seen the exhibits which lined the walls of the Armory. Crops that tho most optimistic did not dream of four years ago when the first farm crop show wirj held are now an inspiring sight. Sentiment is being created through the organization thai is aiding in the development of this section of the slate. All doubt as lo the possibility of growing, prize corn and grain is now removed. Tlie soil has stood the test, it,is now a question of the man behind and tlie variety, according to those who spoke at the meeting. \"If the farmers will only get together we can put Minnesota on the map as a seed producing state,\" declared C. P. Bull of the' department of agriculture of the university. \"We have the quality, the soil and climate here; all we need now is lo get the people together.\" \"People are more and more living out of paper bags and tin cans. As a result, Minnesota has an opportunity to develop the canning, industry and ;.. the farmers should keep this in mind in'the raising of their vegetables. The best early Crosby corn is raised in this state. We should specialize in .this type of green corn, as we would not 'have the competition that we are put to in competing in other varieties.\" Tlie rotation of crops is the balance wheel of farming, according to Forest Henry of the agricultural extension division of the university. \"Nature unlocks just enough plate food each year so that the lazy farmer will not starve to death,\" he said. \"If you want better crops than that you have to go to work for them. \"The farmers of Minnesota \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd are planting enough acreage but aro not paying enough attention to the*soil.\" The exhibit shows that\" the'formers must reckon with the high school boys with scientific training if they wish to win any prizes in the future. Two boys from East Grand Forks, Minn., are the winners of''awards in the growing of corn. These two biys are members of a corn club connected .with the high school of their town. Stewart Austin, 15 years old, carried oil* the firct prize for the best ten ears shown from his county, the first prize for the ten best ears in ihe boys' acre contest and the reserve sweepstakes for the bast ten cars in tlie whole exhibit. John Croy of East Grand Forks, 16 years old, president of the East Grand Forks Boys' Corn Club, won the first prize . for the best ten ears- of dent corn, the orcond prize for the best ten ears'of corn from Lis county, and 'he reserve sweepstakes for the thirty best ears in the whole exhibit. The only men to measure up to these boys are A. D. YanSickle of'Warren, who won the sweepstakes for the ten best ears, and C....C. Williams of Detroit, who won sweepstakes I'or the thirly best ears.

In 1315 the suffering was so dreadful throughout the British Isles that the inhabitants devoured tlie flesh of hor: es. dogs, oats and vermin. In 1335.- 1353. 1-13S and 15G5 there were more terrible life-destroying famines, the people often being reduced to feeding on roots, .weeds and offal, in 1603 France 'suffered horribly. In 17-18 starvation was general throughout Britain. In 1705, a hundred and twenty years ago, there vvas again an awful lack of food. This was the last famine that was general, in England, but provisions during the wars with France went up to high prices, and distress was very prevalent. Ireland was several times afflicted in the last century, parliament having to-grant no smaller a sum than ten million pounds (fifty million dollars) in 1847, to relieve the distress.

Raising Contest in North Dakota , Shows Big Profit in Pork Production The. contest among the boys and girls in hog raising in North Dakota was interesting to the observer as well as the boys. In tne lirst plao it showed that cneap pork can be produced on the farm uncle:- present conditions. In the second place that hogs afford an economical means of marketing farm products. And what is still more important it shows that there is pront in pork production under ' conditions that now prevail. Of the 24 boys and girls that won prizes the average weight of Vie pigs after seven months' feeding was 210 pounds. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd These gains were made by feeding the ordinary feeds raised on the farm. After deducting the cost of the home-grown feeds at market prices it was fount', that the average cost of producing a pound of pork was 2% cents. The hogs were sold at twice and in some instances nearly 2\\<2 times that price per pound, consequently the profit was satisfactory. The principal feeds used in the contest and the yiices charged Avere as follows: Corn, 50 cents per bushel; barley, 45 cents; rye, 60 cents; bran and shorts, $19 per ton; screenings, $10; skim milk, 25 cents per 100 pounds; pasture, one-third cent per day and corn hogged off, $3 per acre. In summarizing the resui':.5 oftheso pig clubs the North Dakota station says: \"The boys and girls nave in this contest\" demonstrated the possibilities of pork production in North Dakota. They have demonstrated that the I105 furnishes the best material for the produce raised on the farm. They have also demonstrated ttiat the capital invested in pork production brings a higher return than that invested in. land that is used in grain farming. It would be hard to get acras devoted to grain to return an average of ?7S.10 after paying for overytliingjsxcopt the labor, yet a sow and an acre of land cost about the same ir. North Dakota.

V. 1045 Lincoln's Dream In John Hay's diary, written when he was Lincoln's secretary, and published for the first time in Harper's Magazine for January, appears the first record of one of Lincoln's most famous sayings: \"The president tonight (December T3, 1863), had a dream,\" writes Hay. \"He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: 'He is.a very common looto* ing man.' The president replied: 'The Lord prefers common looking people. That is the reason He makes so many of them.' \" \"She is simply mad on the subject of germs and sterilizes or filters everything in t.ic house.\" \"How does she get along with her family?\" \"Oh, even her relations are strained.\" Several Canadian Sources of Potash Are Available to the Farmer For many years the Stassfurt mines in Germany have been practically the sole source of the potash compounds used for fertilizing purposes on this continent. Among the evil effects resulting from the present war, there- l.fore, may be counted the cutting off from the.markets of the world the supply of this material. Dr. Shutt, Dominion chemist, regards this circumstance as not so serious as some may consider. In order to place his views before the farmers, of Canada Dr. Shutt has issued Circular No. 7 of the Experimental Farms, \"Potash in Agriculture.\" It takes up the subject under several heads and reaches the following conclusions: \"It is only our light, 'sr-ndy and gravelly scils that are markedly deficient in \"potash and this element is only specially called for by clover, potatoes, roots and leafy crops generally. There is yet some potash in the market though it will probably have to be purchased in the form of a complete fertilizer. We have several Canadian sources of potash available to the farmer\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnotably liquid manure, wood ashes and sea weed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmaterials rich in this useful constituent and which are more or less rapidly obtainable in many parts of the Dominion. And lastly there are the indirect potassic fertilizers, which though not adding to the sum total ot tlie soil's potash yet may serve a useful purpose by liberating it in available forms and thus in times such as the present may help to tide us over until potasn compounds are once more upon the market.\" This circular is available free at the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. Imported Fertilizers The war is not working any hardship on the farmer:, of Western Canada in depriving them of their fertilizer, for the very simple reason that the only fertilizer used on these fertile plans is that which is actually produced on the farm;. A report issued by the department of commerce of the United States, however, shows that a very different state of affairs prevails there, owing to the difficulty now experienced in importing materials used in the manufacture of artificial fertilizer. According to this government report the value of potash Salts and fertilizer materials imported into the United States in 1914 was $38,500,000, against $47,000,000 the previous year. These figures show the enormous expenmturo which the United States farmer must make to retain the fertility necessary to produce crops. No More Profitable Crop Than Alfalfa is Opinion of This Farmer . The Northwestern Slate Bank of Orange City, la., believe: in alfalfa- it is conducting an alfalfa growing contest and offering $150 in prizes. In its announcement, the bank says: \"Sioux\" county is worth from two or three times as much today as it- was ten years ago, but we are still raising about the same number of bushels of corn, oats and wheat to the acre. Every farmer will soon be asking himself these questions: How can I' increase the yield of the crops which I now raise? And vhat new crop can I raise which will give me larger returns from my land? The answer is found in one word\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdALFALFA.' \"Heretofore our farmers have paid very little attention to alfalfa and it is practically a new crop here,\" writes Gerritt J. Slob, casnier. \"Three of our farmers who have put in alfalfa have' lia'tl remarkable success.. Enclosed find statement signed by one of our progressive young farmers, showing his experience with alfalfa. Your July number was a good one to circulate among our farmers.\" Here is the statement Mr. Slob on- closed: Orange City, la., June 15, 'i014. This is to certify that in the fall of 1911, on my farm one mile west of Orange City, I seeded 4% acres to alfalfa. During the summer of 1913 I received 14 tons from the first .cutting, .nine tons from the second cutting, and . I would have received seven tons from the third cutting, but I was away from home, and the alfalfa was not cut. The first two cuttings amounted to 23 tons, which at $11 per' ton amounted to'$253. Had I cut it three times,. I would have realized over $330 from the 4*4 acres, which is over $73 per acre. This season. I expect to cut more tons of hay from the field than I did last year. . . I am thoroughly convinced that there is not a more profitable crop than alfalfa. . (Signed) TL J.

Flax industry Practical Method Wanted of Dealing;' With Tonnage cf Straw Wasted - in West During the ses...->n of 1913-15 Hou- W. T. White, minister of finance, announced in his budget-that an investigation would be' i) stituted into the- tlax industry of the Dominion with, a view to ascertaining the advisability, of granting a bonus upon the manufacture of flax fibre. : At' the time'i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 'was. contended that with a substantial bonus flax fibre for the manufacture^ of binder twine, rope, etc., could be ^ made a paying industry iii the Domin- * ion in a few years, and; that muck waste material could thus be turned: to profitable use. The investigation,, it is understood, has been going on. :or some time, but it is stated that since the war commenced ' a new phase of the situation has been presented to the attention of the government. As a onsequeuce of the war there has been ^ome apprehension expressed ,as to the safety.of the Irish and Scotch linen industi\/ which in former years drew a large pt.rt of its raw material from Belgium, France and Russia, and whose supply from these countries has been practically cut oft. It is stated that there h'ave. recently been in this couni,r: several representatives of large uritish mills in an endeavor - to enilst the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdco-operation of farmers in the larger production of flax.;.\" Although there has never been a. linen industry in Canada, -flax has been grown in small quantities in Ontario and Quebec for the use of rest dents in the home manufacture of linen cloth. It is recorded, \"however, that in only, a few sections of Western Ontario in 1904, 700 tons of fibre were produced which brought a price of $201 per Ion. The average pries for Irish flax' fibre during this past five years has been $325 per ton, while the Belgian flax fibre averaged $405. In Western Canada it is estimated that one million tons of flax straw arc burned every year, and that if a practical method were found for producing fibre a splendid opportunity would be presented for taking advantage of the British requirements and the European scarcity. It is understood that the government has under consideration some proposal for the encouragement of this industry in the Dominion. In 1794 '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-.\". When the Russians in 1794 marched into Cracow, the desire of the King of Prussia lo be crowned as the King of Poland could not be fulfilled because the royal crown had disappeared, and for over a century could not be .found. Over 300 years after the fall of Cracow a terrific thunderstorm burst upon the city, and an ancient elm, standing in a field just outside the walls, was rent asunder, and in its hollow trunk was found hidden the famous crown of PolamVs ancient kings. When it was removed some of the precious stones which had been loosened in the process of time dropped out, and it is asserted that this was the first omen of the great war now raging. \"That doctor is a regular dynamo.\" \"Yes; when I cai'.e in contact him, I was highly charged.\" . human with Horses. That Know Some pf the artillery horses with the British, army in Franco have served for ma4.y years, and these old horses are available as experienced soldiers. They have nothing to learn about war, and ca . teach any new driver a good deal. For example, many of these animals know with mathematical exactness the porper interval of one gun from another. To sw.'ng the gun rou^d at the due distance is now ingrained as an instinct and performed with the regularly of a ploughing horse when lie turns at the headland of the field. If the driver, less skilful or wise in the art, attempts to bring o.ie gun too near its neigh jor, ihe horse takes the matter into his own 'hai-ds with an Olympian disregard of bit or whip. He will not disobey the regulation for any one.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdLondon Daily Mail. A teacher had tokl a class of juvenile pupils that Milton, the poet, was blind.

The difficulty of getting and keepin-g^labor on the farm is a commonplace- I think farmers have not faced the fact that this difficulty is due in the main to their own way of doing their business. Competent men will not stay at farm -labor' unless it off ers them continuous employment as part of a well ordered business concern;, and this is not possible unless with a greatly improved husbandry. Today agriculture has to compete in'the labor market against other, and to many men more attractive, industries, and a marked elevation in the whole; standard of life in the rural world is the best insurance of a better supply-of good farm labor. Only an intensive system of farming can afford any large amount of permanent employment at decent wages to the rural laborer, and only a good supply of competent labor can render intensive farming on any large scale profitable. . But the intensive system of farming not only gives regular employment and good wages; it also fits the laborer of today\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin a country where a man can strike out for himself\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdto be the successful farmer of tomorrow. Nor, in these days of impersonal industrial relations, should the fact be overlooked that under an intensive system of agriculture, we find still preserved the kindly personal relation between employer, and employed'which contributes both to the pleasantness of life and to economic progress and security.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSir Horace Plunkett in the Rural' Life Problem of the United.

I could not feed myself for those ten months. \"At last I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills, taking twenty-eight boxes in all, and am j,lad to say the;- made a firm cure of me.\" Mr. Roberts' troubles were caused by diseased kidneys. That is why Dodd's Kidney Pills curjcl him. Diseased Kidneys fail in their duty of straining the impurities out of the blood and tlie consequence is trouble all over the body. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure diseased Kidneys. Many children are so crammed with everything that they know nothing.

Phonk K74 Gkand Fokks, B.C FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915 NOT NOW The Victoria Times says that its correspondent at Ottawa wired on Saturday that the government had made up its mind definitely to hold an election in the latter part of June, and that the decision would be announced publicly, this week. What a time for an election, for a snap appeal to the people! Canada is standing with bared head while sorrow-freighted news comes from the battlefields of Flanders; hundreds of her brave young men are lying dead before Ypres; thousands are suffering in the hospitals, many more are in captivity in Germany\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd and the Canadian government is actually thinking of dividing the country into two hostile political camps! What would they think of us in \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd- England, where upon the invitation of the ministry big Conservatives like Mr. Balfour and Biinar Law and Austin Chamberlain are cooperating with the government in meeting a situation in which the life of tbe empire is at . stake? The term of the Asquith adminfstration has practically expired, but the suggestion of an election would be received with loathing and anger. The term of the Borden government has eighteen months to run, yet we are told Uiat an election is contemplated, an election in which the ilag will be waved and an attempt made to impugn the loyalty of the opposition, many of whose supporters have given their lives for the empire. An election at this time would be a monstrous crime, and the men responsible for it would be no better than ghoulish criminals. . Would it be possible to imagine a more degrading spectacle, for instance, than the head of our war department de livering stump speeches and electioneering for six weeks while our ranks were beir.g thinned in Flan ders? How could ihe government of Canada' ^discharge its pressing obligations in this great war, if it devoted itself to -an'.election campaign during the next month and a half or two months? Would this be keeping faith \\yith our allies and sister dominions? Are'we to behold the flag, consecrated a new: to liberty and houor by the blood of thousands dragged in the dust of political strife? Here is a chance for Sir Robert Borden to show real statesmanship. Will be do it? SUNRISE SIGNALS By~ We cTWinute-tTWan The second Sunday in May is Mother's day, world-wide and among all nations.

Italy Contracted for Wheat Good Roads All-Important Factor in Enabling Farmers to Reach Markets The campaign for good roads being carried on throughout Canada is only part of the general awakening of the people to the causes which have led to the enormous increase in the prices of tlie necessaries of life. That the transportation problem is all-important for the farmer-producer is without question. That he may at all seasons reach his markets at \"a minimum of time and expense is a necessary factor in' the making of reasonable prices for his products. For the consumer, good roads have an advantage in the fact that by enabling the farmers to reach the markets in greater numbers, the supplies of produce will be larger, and competition will be keener. A further consequence of this larger attendance will be that more attention will be paid to the condition of the produce offered by those displaying it i'or sale. Iu the present campaign for increased production, good roads will play an important part. Motor transportation is being rapidly developed and utilized by the farmers. By this means greater distances can be covered and farmers at a considerable distance from uarkets, with the advent of better roads, will be able to bring their produce to the consumer in larger quantities and at less expense.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Conservation. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSkin Trouble on the Scalp Skin Dried and Cracked and Hair Fell Out\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCured by Dr. Chase's Ointment Eczema is annoying and distressing at any time, but doubly so when it gets into the scalp and causes the hair ir> fall out. Here is a grateful letter from a lady who was cared by using Dr. Cbase's Oiutmeut. Mrs. Hector Currie, Tobermory, Ont., writes: \"I was cured of a disagreeable skin disease of the scalp by using Dr. Chase's Ointment. The trouble started with itching and pain In the scalp, the skin Avould get dry and crack, and j.': times would bleed, and the hair would fall out. I tried three doctors without benefit, and suffered i'or three years. Reading in the almanac about Dr. Chase's Oiutment, I began its use, and am now completely cured.

A Period of Rest Pointers For Dairymen in Keeping- Record of Average Milk Yield In the fall of 1914 many dairy cows dried off somewhat earlier than usual on account of scarcity of feed. However long the period of rest may have been, six weeks or four months, cows will soon he ready for businessl as usual during 1915. Now the point arises, can the period of work be extended? That meai's-careful preparation in a variety of ways. One item may well be noted by the dairyman who has not yet endeavored to shorten that,rest period. It do?s not follow that a cow civing 1,200 pounds of milk or so during her first month will give\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdas much during the whole season as the cow that gives only SOO pounds the first mouth. Tlie first one may be dry in a little over seven months and then settle down to extended repose, while the second cow will be producing-for ten months, enabling her owner to \"take advantage of good prices in fall and winter. Obviously, therefore, correct judgment as to a cow's production is to be based on a knowledge of the total weight for the season, not for the best month or two only, for that period of rest is a very variable factor..''.\". Keeping track:, cf the weight given by each cow-, is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd simplified. by using the forms'.supplied, free by the government. Write to tli.. Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa, for samples of the record forms of three days per month, and \"those\"\"for\"\"dairy\"weights. It will be still better to take samples as well so as to learn by the test how much fat each cow gives. A Venerable Horse The oldest horse in the world is, probably.

C, LIVE STOCK VALUES ARE BEING WELL MAINTAINED Census and Statistics Oflice at Ottawa gives some Detailed Information Regarding Agricultural Conditions, Gleaned from Correspondents all over the Dominion A bulletin recently issued by tbe census and statistics office summarizes the results of inquiries made by .crop reporting correspondennts as to (1) the values uf farm land, (2) the values of farm help, and (3) tbe values cf farm livestock in 1914. The average value of fnrm land in Canada held for agricultural purposes, whether improved or unimproved, and including the value of dwelling farm biuldings, is-returned as .$88.-1.1 per acre, which is about equal to that of the last, similar inquiry in1 1910, when the value was given as' $38.45 ^ per acre. In 1911 the average was re-' turned by the census as $30.41, but this- value was based upon returns from all occupiers, including farms only recently settled, and therefore of less value. By provinces tho average values of 1914 range. from \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd21 per acre in Alberta. to $100 per acre in British Coiumbia. In this province, however, the high value is due to orcharding, ordinary agriculture biing subsidiary, to fruit culture. In recent years the wages of farm help have increased considerably, and thoy reached their highest point during the bumper harvest of 1913. But in 191.4 the pendulum swayed back, less labor being required on farms owing to lighter crop:;. Since August the war has had for one of its effects \" an increase in the supply of farm ]aboiT~'an'd consequently .i fall in the wages. The demand for labor-this winter has also decreased because of the increased cost of board. For the Dominion the average \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd wages per month during the cummer, including board, were $35.55 for male and $18.81 for female help. For the year, including board, the average wages were $323.30 for males and $189.35 for females, whilst the average cost of board per month works out to $14.27 for males and'$11.20 for females, as compared with $12.49 and $9.53 in 1910. Average wages per month in 1914 were lowest in Prince Edward Island, viz., $24.71 for males and $14.48 for females. In the western provinces they were: For males, $39.13 in .Manitoba;\" $40.51 in Saskatchewan, and $40.26 in Alberta, females receiving $22.35 in Manitoba, $22.95 in Saskatchewan,, and $23.63 in Alberta. The highest wages were paid in British Columbia, viz., $47.85 for males and $31.] 8 for females, these averages being substantially less than in 1910, when males received $57.40' and females $3S. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdValues for livestock are well maia- tained,_so far as comparison with the three years ended'1910 is concerned; but during 1914 there has been a substantial reduction in the value-both of horses 'and of swine. It is a cause of general complaint that the demand for horses other than for military purposes has fallen off, and that prices are less by from 25 to 40 or 50 per cent, than they ycre in 1913. Owing to the high price of grain, the keeping of swine in the west is said to be no longer a paying proposition. Hogs have been sold fu- what they'will i'ctch\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfrequently for i ; little as 31\/* cents per pound--and many have been marketed in an unfinished condition. On the other hand, the prices' of \\ ittle have been well maintained, and .the average values for dairy cows and for other horned cattle are considerably above those of 1010. The averages per head for Canada come to $127 for horses, $57 for milch cows, $42 for other cattle, $7 for sheep, and $12 for swine. The following is believed to be a rough approximation of the total value of Canadian farm livestock in 1914: Horses, $371,- \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd130,000; cattle, $297,131,000; sheep, $14,551,000; and swine, $42,418,000, or an aggregate of $725,530,000 for all descriptions. Will' Take Every War Creates New Trade for Canada Material Used in High Explosive Can be Easily Undertaken by Steel Companies Undoubtedly one of the most important new industries which has been established in the Dominion since the war commenced is tho manufacture of shrapnel shells, which are now being turned out in large quantities by a large number of firms in all parts of the Dominion. The establishment of the new industry not only enables many Canadian firms to keep their factories running, and to retain their.employees at good wages, but is, in addition, an important factor in providing munitions of war for the arduous fight still ahead of the allied armies. It is announced that still another Industry has been created from war conditions. This is the manufacture of tuol-abase, a material used in -high explosives, which is in much demand in Great Britain and the other warring countries. Thi;> is a by-product of the coke ovens, which will also produce benzol, a gas engine fuel of high power. These products can be manufactured by the steel companies of the Dominion, with a slight extension of their present plants and without, any interference with their regular products. It is stated that the Dominion Steel corporation has alread.- received satisfactory contracts from the government for tuol-abase, and when the manufacture of the product, has reached a satisfactory basis further heavy orders are expected from the British government. The extent of the orders has not been made public, but it is stated that they are highly satisfactory. * Benzol, the oV-.er by-product of the coke ovens, can be used as a substitute for petrol, or gasoline. It is more powerful than gasoline, but requires some 20 per cent, more air, and only requires a slight aujustment in the carburetors to be used in cars and motor boats. Destroy Zeppelins Maxim's Incendiary Rifle to Fight Aircraft A projectile to destroy Zeppelins ana other aircraft is the latest invention of Sir Hiram Maxim, of maxim gun fame. Sir Hiram claims that the new projectile fired either from a rifle or a small held cannon, would make a sucessful Zcppalin raid an 'impossibility. Sir Hiram's idea is to obtain from the government a large number of old service Martini-Henri rifles of .45 bore, and to make a projectile to fit which would travel like a rocket and give off a serk of bright sparks during the whole length of its flight- It requires something very hot to set hydrogen on fire,\" said Sir. Hiram, \"but the right kind of spark will do it. These rifles should bs put in the hands of a great number of people\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd men and boys who know how to use a gun, and there are plenty of such in Britain. \"A storm of incendiary bullets directed at a hostile airship would soon have the desired effect; for it would only require one little spark to bring the Zeppelin to destruction. The bullet in falling back might break slate roofs, but the falling velocity would not be very great. \"I should also recommend a light gun which two men could carry about on their shoulders, with a very simple mounting to rest on the ground.. This gun would have a here of VA inches, and would be \"jrovided with a projectile that could i no harm in falling.. This projectile can be made but I can say no more about it until I get permission to do so. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"If that permission comes we shall soon have something that makes us feel safer than we do at the present time.

The decision to proceed jointly with their' purchases means that the Dominion will secure an even larger share of the war contracts of France and Russia thair she has in the past. Each week thai the war lasts emphasizes that the capacity of the motherland to maintain the production of the immense supplies required for the British army alone is severely taxed. Added to this treat pressure is the task of replenishing the supplies of the vast armies of France and Russia,'which has been attacked most loyally, and even at the cost of delaying orders for the British forces. But even the old country, which has surprised \"everyone by her renin rkable; vitality, has her limits, and one reads the signs, in a hundred wavy.

This is not only interesting as an indication of what is expected in regard to the duration of the war by the authorities here,: but goes to show that on Canadian manufacturers, in increasing measure, will depend the production of supplies. I also learn that the Russia government have placed an order for shells with another Toronto firm whose representative has just returned from Petrograd, and doubtless the : same condition applies, to firms in other parts of Canada. What has impressed the authorities, here most of all is the remarkable facility with which Canadian firms have converted their plant for the purpose of making war munitions. It has been- warmly appreciated on all sides, and, in,the view of my informant, a rapid and extensive increase in the number of war orders placed in the Dominion will be seen. It is Interesting to' note that neither the government of France nor of Russia had any conception of .what the manufacturers of Canada could do in this way, and what they have done in the last few months has surprised even the home government, who now appreciate_ how :;splehdidly they have coped with now conditions.

SOME FACTS FROM THE AGRICULTURAL WAR BOOK A Most Valuable Work Published by the Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa, Deals with Many Live Topics which will be of Great Interest to Canadians from East to West It is doubtful if a more intrinsically valuable work was ever published in Canada than the Agricultural War Book,-for which the honorable, the Minister of Agriculture, at Ottawa, is sponsor. Onevery one of its hundred and fifty pages there is: something to be learned. It is circulated at the mere cost of asking tor- it, and thus should be read, marked and inwardly digested by not only every farmer but also by every lover of his country, for not only can. the husbandman gleam gold from its contents, but the ordinary citizen can lay up a stock of knowledge about things that he did not know before. . .The early pages are devoted to brief essays principally on agricultural matters, but also on the duty of us all, by the prime minister, by the finance minister of the country,, by the various ministers and commissioners of agriculture of the Dominion and the provinces, and by the learned professors of agricultural colleges and directors of experimental farms. Following are given industrial and agricultural details in brief;of each European country engaged in the war or affected^ by thewar, and of the British posr sessions. From this it is learned that prior to the outbreak of hostilities, Belgium was not only the most Illicitly populated country in the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd world, but also about the most industrious. In the first 82 days of the war, damage to the extent of ?1,05!),836,000 had been doner out of which $283.'U4,000 is attributed to agricultural injury. Northern France has suffered proportionately to an equal extent. Russia, while pre-eminently an agricultural country,: producing* nearly one-fourth of the world's wheat, fully a fourth of its. oats, a third of its barley and a half of its rye, still possesses immense manufacturing industries. It also abounds in minerals, and its forests, cof which ther^. are 900 million acres, are the finest the earth knows. Canada's interest lies in particular with the export trade of Germany, much of which this country Las the right and expectation to secure. In 1913, we learn from the War Book, Germany imported nearly one-eighth of all the.world had to sell, and exported more than cue-ninth of all the world wanted to buy. Her yearly output of manufactured goods ran up to between twelve ana fifteen billion dollars, of which one-sixth at least found its way to foreign markets that are now closed to her and in many cases will neve: be renewed. \"Made in Germar.y,\" and \"Made in Austria,\" with which we had most of us become familiar, will, it is to be hoped, be largely replaced by \"Made in Canada.\" Vhat is oi special interest is the fact that Germany in 1913 produced 2,720,- 000 tons of refined sugar from beets, mined 260,000,000 tons of coal and lignite, 29,879,000 tons of iron ore and that while using in that year of peace 225,800 tons of copper, she could only unearth 23,000 tons of her own accord. Germany normally imported one-sixth of the cereals she consumes, but exports enormous j quantities of potatoes. Without doubt I i ,- the surplus of the latter now in stock is being used for Jlour. Germany bought between seven and eight million geese from Russia.annually, and sold Great Britain between eleven and twelve million bushels of oats. She also in 1913 imported 160,000 tons- mark it, tons\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof eggs. These statements will sufficiently, show the vast disturbances that.has taken place iu German productive trade. Austria-I-Iungai-y exported in bulk as many men and horses as\" it did of material, from 150,000 to 200,000 immigrants crossing .the seas every year. But the dual empire is exceedingly rich in minerals and Hungary, is one of the principal grain growing regions of Europe! the average produce being 145,000,000 bushels of wheat, 46,500,000 bushelc of rye, 53,- 500,000 bushels of barley, 65,000,000 bushels of oats and 118,000,000 bushels of corn. vHunga.'y, too, is rich iu live stock, having in 1914, 21,300,000 horses, 7,300,000 cattle, 8,500,0\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd0i sheep and 7,500,000 swine. From these figures it. would seem that it will be a tougher job to starvo out Germany than reports would make it appear. Statistics' are a1.:.o given in the Agricultural War Book of the produce and trade of Great Britain, France, Italy, Servia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Roumania and other countries, but the foregoing facts are sufficient to show the educational value and what may be called the international scope -of the work.

Undersized Bismarcks The Wheat Area in Great Britain Not Materially Increased Lord Milner's idea that the British wheat area can be treblpd wc believe will not bear examination. Any increase would be at the expense of one of the other crops, and these require increasing not decreasing in the coming season. It is not likely that valuable permanent glass land will be broken up in any large quantity for the sake of raising high priced wheat for a single season. In our own country we fear it is hopeless to look for any very great increase in the wheat area, perhaps 500,000 acres or perchance 1,000,000 acres might be added to the 2,4)00,000 acres normally under tho premier cereal, but even that is a good deal to expect. If the war is going to be a long one, 'and there is any risk of our losing 1 even temporarily the command of the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd sea, the policy of the government ! should be to aid our farmers to hold and to encourage farmers in Canada, India, and later on. in Australia, to '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd grow as big a crop as possible, at the ! same time leaving the importing mer- : chant and miller of the United King- ! ilom every latitude quietly to accumu- i late an extra reserve of five or six I million quarters. This, of course, they will not do if tleir enterprise is checked by hints in the press or from elsewhere that if prices are raised the authorities may step in and fix an official price. If merchants are to be expected to shoulder the task of assuring the nation's food supply, their enterprise mils'; not be discouraged. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdCorn Trade News. German Diplomacy Has Undergone a Change Since Bismarck's Dismissal , The trouble with German diplomacy it that for many years back it has been neither intelligent nor cautious. After Bismarck's dismissal it gradually lost that foresight and breadth of view which made the great Chancellor's \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd successor possible. Bismarck framed his policiies with foreign opinion and the obvious interests of other natious in plain view. He did not worry about the effect of his diplomacy on German sentiment so long as lie was sure of its effect in the world outside. He felt his way carefully and played one outside interest against another before he struck. In that way he isolated Austria-Hungary in I860 and France in 1870-71- His successors Lave followed another course. They have given far less study to conditions and the drift of sentiment outside Germany and shaped their diplomacy so as to make it appear^instead to German pride and consciousness of power. In that way they have helped to unify Germany. But at the same time they have unified foreign opposition and driven powers like Great Britain, France and Russia to ignore former diversities of interest and to unite for purposes of protection.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNew York Tribune.

Originated Myth About ihe Russians Landing in Scotland The famous hoax of the first weeks of war, when a body of Russian soldiers, said to numoer from 100,000 to 1:00,000 men, were reported to have circled around from Archangel, landed in Scottish.ports and then shipped through at night to reinforce the British forces in France, originated with Lord Kitchener himself, according to a statement made by a British officer to a correspondent of the Daily Dispatch. It is a noteworthy fact that, although the myth spread like wild fire through the Uni'ed Kingdom with any number of witnesses to swear they had seen and talked to the Russians in their native language, the press bureau did not issue an official contradiction1\" for a long period. Tho Russian tory, says the British officer, was designed to impress the German commanders in Belgium and Northern France and keep them in fear of a . urprise, either in the rear or on the western flank. It accomplished its purpose, for this dread was real among the German staff, and accounts to some extent for the retreat f-ora Paris of Gen. Von Kluck. To give color to the report Lord Kitchener is said' to have caused a hundred transports laden with sundry- goods to be sent from Scottish ports to Archangel after insuring them in Holland. And when the British troops wero moved from various points in Scotland and the north of England to ihe channel . ports, he ordered the blinds of the train to be lowered so as to arouse popular curiosity and speculation.
