But they are not let off altogether. They are conscripted like other people, yet only as non-combatants, and they have to use the spade instead of \"the rifle. Curiously enough, this_ seems to satisfy their delicate consciences, anri apparently they fail to realize that the work they do is just as much a part, of .war as that of anybody else who is engaged in it, and that it has a very \"direct, bearing on the deaths of the Germans or others who try to take the .trenches they dig. Indeed, it is reported they are proud of the fact that though they do^no killing themselves, :, not infrequently their work takes them under fire, and that their lives are by no means safe. ' It is to be hoped that our own conscientious objectors will -be equally illegorical and inconsistent when their time of trial comes,'if ever it does. At any rate, the British solution of the problem is well worth keeping in mind, for even if it should tend to increase the membership of sects of the religio-pacifist sort no great harm will be done. Modern war needs the service of as many civilians or non-combatants as of men taking part in the actual fighting, and those thus engaged are as honorably employed as are those on the firing line, though, of course, they haven't the same opportunities of acquiring glory and do not share the stern joys of battle.

Meat Production In the United States between 1900 and 1913 the population increased 24 per cent., while cattle decreased 30 per cent. In Russia, Argentina and Brazil there were also decreases. In France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and Austria-Hungary there were slight increases, but only in ] mlimnS France at the same ratio as the population. In Australia alone was there relatively a greater growth in the' number of cattle than of people. In Canada the population during the period mentioned increased 35 per cent., but in cattle only 20 per cent. Those facts are surely pregnant with significance of the opportunity that lies before Canada in the breeding of cattle. The same state of things exists, only in a more emphatic way, as regards sheep, und even as regards swine the depletion last, year was of such extent as to produce a certain measure of scarcity this year.

The area planted to corn in Manitoba increased from 30,430 acres in 1914 to 52,713 acres in 1915, according to the official crop report. In view of the damage to the crop by frosts, the report makes this comment: \"Wliile the condition in 1915 cannot fail to create disappointment among farmers regarding corn, this crop is so firmly established in many of the older districts that it will continue to increase in popularity. In view of the unfavorable season for corn growing, there is every reason to warrant our confidence that this crop is still one of our most profitable fodder crops. Farming is not a mere occupation. It is a business, a study, and one that requires brain ' work. The same old kind of brain work that was needed to put one in shape for the school examination. This is the kind of work that makes farming successful. Minard's Liniment Cures Garget in Cows. Will Shorten Haul tu Tide Water and Open New Lands for Settlement The Hudson Bay Railroad, ..which has its northern terminus at Port Nelson, will shorten the land haul of gram from the wheat fields of the west, to the Atlantic ocean. by, over a thousand miles. And the total distance between the prairie farms and European ports will not-be increased. This of course, is the chief object in building the road. But it wilt also serve another, purpose, that of opening up a new territory for permanent settlement. Pessimists tell us that this country is not suitable to permanent occupation, that it is cold and barren, with nothing to entice the pioneer to live within its borders. We were told much the same regarding other parts of the Dominion which are now looked upon as veritable gardens of fertility. The Peace River district may be mentioned as an example. We are told that the country opened up by the new railroad has frost every month in the year with the possible exception of July. This may be a serious handicap to successful farming operations yet -we,must remember that in the three prairie provinces last year, there was not one month in which frost did not occur. Yet in this climate 600.000,000 bushels of wheat were grown, during the season. Also the Yukon district is said to produce vegetables as fine as any to be seen in other parts of the Dominion, and it lies well up to the Arctic circle. There seems to be no reason to doubt that a large local trade will be established along the Hudson Bay road. The forests contain valuable timbers, which in addition to furnishing material for export, will prove a boon to the pulp and allied industries of Canada. Again, it is a country of great mineral wealth, which, when once opened up, will lead to further and further development in operations. The fish, too, with which the rivers and lakes teem, will be another source of wealth. When we read the reports furnished by the topographical survey for 1916, and also the reports of those who either for pleasure or for business, have visited this now little known territory, we' fail to see how anyone should or could be doubtful regarding the advisability of opening up the country.

Indeed, in looking over the records in eleven districts, the average difference between the high herd averages and the low ones , amounted to 4,639 lb. milk and 140 lb. fat per cow. This is certainly an extraordinary difference, and indicates that it will pay to calculate what cows can do. ''-,_, Take-if another way: In 1914, sixty patrons of two creameries began this cow calculation, cow testing. It.was lound in 1915 that their herds had made a gain over their 1913 record of 71 pounds of fat per cow, a gain of eight per cent. But on the other hand the 1913 patrons of the same two creameries who did riot go In for cold calculations fell off 87 pounds of fat per, cow, seventeen per cent. If trie men not cow testing had made, gains with their cows in the two years as,those made who, were testing, it would have meant an increase in the-output of 58,362 pounds of butter!

Sultan Did Not Want War1 A Tip to Merchants A New Hay Sorghum Sudan Grass Meeting With Great Favor Among American Farmers A recent addition to our crop plants is sure to prove of great value to the South. Sudan grass was brought to the United States from Egypt in 1909, and no. other importation ever sprung into favor so quickly. It is now recognized as' the coming hay grass of Texas, and when better known in the southeastern states it will be almost as popular there. In the immediate Gulf coast region, however, it, like the other sorghums,' is affected by the red-spot disease, which farmers usually call rust. At the present time the price of, Sudan grass seed prohibits it from being generally used as a hay grass, but as soon as the quantity of available seed is greater it should become a recognized part of every farmer's crop in the northern two-thirds of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia and in virtually all of the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee, as well as Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. It should be sown broadcast or drilled when the ground has become warm in the spring, at the rate ot 15 to 20 lbs. per acre in the eastern states and 10 to 15 lbs. per acre in the more western states. It can be cut with a mower and cured like any other hay crop. ',* It should be cut about the time of full bloom. Two to three cuttings can be secured, and yields of 3 to 4 tons per acre may be expected. The hay is very palatable and at least as high in feeding value as that of Johnson grass. It is an annual and never becomes a weed in fields where it has been grown.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD From Special Bulletin, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The manager of The Levant Herald, a friend of the Prince, in his paper relates various scenes of violence that took place between the Prince and Enver Pasha. He says that the Prince refused to receive General Liman von Sanders, who was Introduced to him by Enver Pasha on October 30, 1914. The day after the treacherous ambush of Russian ships in the Black Sea, Enver Pasha proceeded to the Dolma Baghche Palace to inform the Sultan of the situation. The Sultan was aware of what had happened, and was talking about it wrth the Heir Apparent at the very moment that Enver Pasha was announced. So soon as he appeared the Sultan stood up and exclaimed, \"Why did you order the Russians to be attacked?\" He thundered In an explosion of anger: \"Am I, then, nobody here that such a thing can be done without my authorization? So it is actually the Germans who are masters in Constantinople?\" \"You will be killed like dogs,\" Enver Pasha replied, coldly. \"It is the Russians who attacked. We had to defend ourselves.\" \"That is false,\" the Sultan Interrupted forcibly. \"I shall protest to the whole universe against the authors of an aggression that I did not order and that was carried out wl*ch- out my knowledge.\" Enver Pasha, who had not foreseen an attitude so foreign to the Sultan's character, begged him to allow him -to postpone his explanations till later, and went off without waiting, for the Sultan's reply, but the Crown Prince went after him and said to Enver:' \"Listen to me. You and your accomplices are ruining Turkey. Beware of the wrath of the people. You will be killed like dogs.\" M. Galll, the editor, adds that the Prince had not ceased to protest in vigorous terms. That was his death sentence. Yussuf Izzed-din felt that he was going to be murdered, and had consigned an envelope with his seal on it to six persons at least. This envelope was not to be opened until the contingency that the Prince had been murdered. The Prince was a friend of the allies.'

Fear Is Rare at Front Ordinarily Casualties Are Not Numerous in the Trenches The Gopher Pest The value of Saskatchewan's grain crop of 1915 is estimated at $200,000,- 000. Whilst nursing this mighty ocean of vegetation to maturity the farmer whose land was not infested by large numbers of gophers was extremely fortunate. The growing seasons of 1914 and 1915 were exceptionally dry and favored the propagation of the gophers. As a natural sequence they were unusually numerous. Many farmers report having lost as much as 10 per cent, of their crop by the ravages of these pests, and the havoc wrought seems to have been fairly general throughout the province. It is difficult to estimate the total damage done by gophers, but it is safe to say that the farmers of Saskatchewan would have produced two per cent, more grain last year had it not been for the depredations of these products. A two per cent, increase would represent an additional $4,000,000 in the pockets of the farmers. This is a very serious loss in these days when the conservation of the nation's wealth is acknowledged to be a patriotic duty.

Examine Wrecked Zeppelins Was 160 Metres in Length and Carried Six Machine Guns The London Times publishes a lengthy account by the French aviation expert, Georges Prade, of the results of his study of the remains of a Zeppelin brought down February 21 at Kevrgny. M. Prade believes the airship was of the latest type and compares its details with those of the Z8, which was brought down in France in August, 1914. The writer says: \"In the presence of the shapeless heap of debris it is not possible to reconstruct exactly the dimensions of the airship which bore the number LZ77, but an examination of the main beams warrants the conclusion that she measured thirty thousand cubic metres. The metal employed is somewhat different from that of earlier Zeppelins, being of aluminum, toughened by a slight alloy of copper and zinc. -,.\"lt was-about 160 metres in length. The shape has changed somewhat. All previous Zeppelins were symmetrical, both ends being alike. This one was much bulkier forward and tapered off toward the stern. This shape gave with' equal capacity less resistance when advancing and, therefore, greater speed with the same power. \"She had five motors and five propellers, a crew of about 23 and six machine guns,, two in each gondola and two on the platform above the envelope; She had no other guns.\" Patriotism Llebknecht the Brave There is certainly no braver man in Europe than the German Socialist, Dr. Liebknecht, and some day Germany will have a monument to his memory.

He went very far indeed the other day in declaring that in some circles the murder of the Austrian archduke was regarded as a \"veritable godsend,\" and that in the school teachers of history systemically distort instruction to inculcate hatred against England.

He won the Victoria Cross for saving some guns at Mons, We were walking one day on ground overlooking the valley of the Thames, and he stretched his hand out toward the sweep of green fields and the hedges and woodland cut by the silver thread of the river, and said: \"That is what we are fighting for. Think of what England has done for me! I ought to do all I can for her.\" He was recovering from a wound at the time, anu he remarked that probably he wouid \"get it\" when he returned to the front,\" and he did. We went into the library of the house where he was staying, and he showed me a diary that he had written on the retreat from Mons and through the fighting on the Aisne and again at Ypres. However tired, every night he had set down a few lines of the day's happenings, and more than once occurred the passage: \"I am glad to do this for England,\" or simply, \"For England.\" There was something eloquent in the pages of that little book.

Ravages of War Whole Towns In France Will Have to be Rebuilt War's havoc in these days of excessively long range artillery is terrific. Every German, gunner makes It a point of honor and duty to shell every building within range. He probably has orders so to do. What such wanton destruction means to the countryside may be imagined. An inter-ministerial committee has ben formed by the French government with a view to providing ways and means for the reconstruction of destroyed or damaged building and plants. The committee, which consist of representatives of the ministries of the interior, commerce and industry, agriculture, labor, finance, war, colonies, and fine' arts, is already considering a general scheme drawn up by M. Revault, deputy of the Meuse. After the' battle of the Marne urgent measures were taken tto help the inhabitants of the departmets of the Marne, Meuse, Meurthe-et-Mo- selle, and Vosges to resume their economic life. These measures were, however, of a temporary character, and could not pretend to repair the havoc of war. In the Marne, for Instance, 312 dwellings had been built by last No- -vember by the department authorities, 280 by authorized societies, and 98 by the military engineers at a cost of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD28 each.

The problem which will have to be faced shortly is of a far more formidable character. Whole. villages and even towns will have to be re-, built, and when the hour of victory has struck all the refugees will be eager to return home and begin life: anew. Obviously, it will be impossible to begin building everywhere at once. There will be a scarcity of materials, of skilled labor, of beasts of draught. Prices will Increase. On the other hand, all the available lab.or and materials will be attracted towards the big yards, and the inhabitants of the country districts will be the sufferers. .'

Revault Tecognizes that it will be impossible to reconstruct the destroyed buildings as they, were before the war. He takes the view that only a portion of the available funds should be employed in the construction of light semi-temporary, but at the, same time comfortable, houses, pending a return to .normal conditions. He proposes (1) that a certain number of models be prepared, adapted to the needs of the various trades and professions for which they will be required; and (2) that departmental workshops be established for the construction of these types, the state supplying merely tbe funds. These workshops will have a co-operative character, and will be managed by men of the trade. The High Cost of Living Wastage Caused by the Liquor Traffic the Greatest Contributory Cause It would be amusing \"**\" it were not so humiliating, to observe the way in which some committees act when they come to the liquor question. They suddenly seem to become blind, deaf and dumb, as If there were no liquor problem, or as If they thought that drink was not a great waste and extravagance, as 'a brewer's gazette has admitted. Boards of health will Investigate every nook and cranny In the most painstaking manner, but they rarely turn their searchlight on the greatest of all causes of sickness. Commissions on the high cost of living never touch on the drink waste as a possible cause, and yet it is undoubtedly the greatest factor in the high cost of living as well as the greatest cause of disease, and death. Speaking on this subject, Mr. Dan Poling says: \"Congress can tinker with the tariff until Doomsday and not begin to solve the problem of the high cost of living. Have you ever stopped to consider what two thousand millions of dollars would do toward solving that problem? Do you think it would help if we could find two thousand million dollars somewhere? \"Well, we have found two(thousand million dollars worse than wasted.

In round numbers the drink bill of the U.S. represents an^ investment in body, mind and soul \"destruction, of ninety-one dollars for each family in the country. When we remember that there are unnumbered families that have no drink bill at all, we begin to form a hazy conception of the annual drini-. bill per family of the drinking families of the nation. John P. Lennon, the treasurer of tne American Federation of Labor, says that seventy per cent, of the drink bill of the U.S. is contributed by the American laboring man. What does that mean? It means that liquor money is generally bread money, meat money, shoe money, and money that ought to be spent for clothing. It generally means that some stomachs go hungry for bread, some feet go poorly shod, some bodies go inadequately clothed, in order that the liquor may gratify the unspeakable appetite it creates for strong drink. It means that liquor money is generally needed for the necessities and comforts of life. \"It is time that we help to solve the high cost of living problem by making John Barleycorn disgorge. Two billion dollars would do marvellous things iu the way of filling empty larders and scanty wardrobes for thousands of poverty-stricken families. \"And what does a man get for his liquor money anyway?

It would require one hundred ana sixty-four times one thousand billion candles to reproduce the light of the moon if the moon happened to go out. Farmers who plant by the moon may be interested in these figures. Then again, they may not. It should at least please them to learn that the curious gentleman was informed exactly how many candles would have to set aglow on the moon to reproduce the reflected radiance of tha sun if the sun happened to go off the job.

So many of the present modes are designed for youthful figures that the younger girl will have no trouble in getting stydish things suitable to her years. Where sports styles might look like anachronisms on her mother, they are more than appropriate for the girl who has barely forgotten her tomboy days. A jersey silk slip-on style is pictured for her favorite sport. The blouse is of the striped silk in regulation sports green, the tie to match. The \"skirt is a plain jersey weave of white, kilted to admit of unrestricted movement. There is a vest of the plain white run between rows of pearl buttons on tha blouse. Her hat is felt underneath and white straw on top. Plain wash silk\"** come in such pretty stripes that their use is'very practical for sports clotlies, a white crepe de chine skirt not being so unpractical, either, as it looks. The street suit that every girl needs at every time of the year should not be conspicuous. Dark blue serge in a light-weight weave makes a suit with simple belted lines. The rever facing, ornamental straps and crushed girdle are taffeta to match the blue of the suit. This is a many-buttoned affair, fastening with loops of the serge. A Salvation lassie bonnet is demure enough for any young girl. It makes use of the new color, chartreuse, in a velvet ribbon for the style note. A one-piece dress for street or school wear should find a place in her wardrobe. Again the stand-by blue serge has been used and lightened with a dash of red in the sash tassels and bound buttonholes. This.high-throated style might not be becoming to every girl; but where it can be worn it must be acknowledged it is stunning. Georgette crepe sleeves of blue make this dress less heavy for spring. Deep pleats run from the yoke to skirt bottom and are girdled by a loosely-tied sash of the material. Gray is becoming more and more popular for the young girl, especially when it is lightened with coral or blue. A gray ground with scattered buds of roses in a foulard weave forms the bands on gray Georgette crepe. The skirt is a full gathered model, its fullness confined to girdle depth by the three rows of velvet ribbon in the rose shade. The flowing sleeves ara graceful and the handkerchief fichu relieves the gray at the neck line. Pastel shades for evening are the mode, without a doubt. Here the young girl is again in her element, for always the soft delicate colorings suggest youth. A frock of lavender tulle has been skillfully combined with turquoise taffeta. The quaint quilling at the skirt bottom is also of the taffeta. Tiny rosebuds weight the tulle points. Fruits and flowers girdle the waist. A very new and not unbecoming note is the short shoulder cape of silver-threaded lace which stops abruptly in the front, but continues across the back.

The emperor's personal influence was once solicited in behalf of a young officer who von Tirpitz had disciplined. \"You'll have to get along with him as well as you can,\" said the unsympathetic emperor,, \"that's what Ihave to do.\" The story illustrates the importance of the grand admiral as a factor in the imperial policy no less than the' masterful temper of the man. He it' was who created and maintained the modern navy of Germany, not William II. 'To the man in the street Von Tirpitz is known chiefly as the organizer of \"submarine warfare,\" the 'advocate of \"frightfulness\" on the sea.

It was necessary for the admiral to educate them, which he did with a publicity bureau the like of which' has never been known in any other country. But that was ouly half the battle.., To get the Reichstag to adopt a naval programme that contemplated rivalry with England was an almost superhuman task, and. then there was the voting of appropriations in lean as well -as fat years, with tlie army clamoring for in- crease_ and new equipment.

R, G. Scott of Saskatchewan tells us that when all the bars 'had been closed, the government opened twenty-three liquor stores for those who thought they could hot do without alcohol. Provision had been made that these stores could be closed or others opened, according to the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD wish of t,the people, at the municipal elections in November. The entire province had been divided into liquor districts. Voting took place in seven districts, in three of which liquor stores had already been established, and in four other districts \"an attempt was made to open new stores. In every district the result was decisively in favor of total abstinence. In the three districts where government stores had been tn operation, they' were all wiped out by a vote of about two and a half to one. In the four districts where an effort was being made to open stores all the attempts failed by a ,vote of about the same relative proportions. Particular interest had been attached to our district, ,as the population was largely foreign. The presence of large colonies of Galicians, French, Germans and Hungarians was, thought to be a strong force to overcome.. These people had always been accustomed to use liquor whenever they had the opportunity. Every wedding and every holiday was celebrated with plenty of liquor. Few were abstainers and none too poor to procure it. There was almost no organization, so that what temperance work was done,, was in most cases by individuals, hut the result w; very encouraging. A foreigner told me that he had al-- ways been a drinker and that if a vote had been taken when the bars were first, closed there would . have been many liquor stores open. However, he thought the people had found out in four months that they got along very well without it and had more money ihan they ever had before. He said that few wanted the stores opened now. A young Frenchman who has a family and is a good worker, said to me, \"The bar got me a good many times. I spent a lot of money and lost a lot of time. I am glad tho bar is gone and we don't want the thing back again.\" In the rural municipality of Fish Creek where the population is almost entirely Galician, it was thought the people would vote strongly for a liquor store, but it went dry b\" more than'two to one.

This extraordinary result in Dakota was due to tlie character of the weather. Autumn drought and the gradual approach o'f cold weather hardened the tissues of the plants, enforcing gradual and perfect dormancy. A protective covering of snow came in December and remained until nearly the end of March. To these factors and the gradual return of spring was due the fact that a percentage of all strains came safely, through the- winter. < The important point, however, is that Grimm alfalfa and two Turkestan sirains, sustained no loss whatever.

Elevator For Fish To enable migratory fish to pass .such barriers as waterfalls and dams when ascending *a river to spawn, the Canadian commissioner of fisheries has developed an elevator which is apparently practicable. It ' has been placed in service at a 24-foot fall in the St. Croix river, N.B., and is operating successfully, according to advices. In part, the device co'jsl-jts ov a vertical shaft erected several feet from the falls. Guides, or walls, radiate from both sides of the structure to the opposite banks of the stream, so that fish are led to it. A cage in which the latter.are trapped and carried to the top of the shaft, where they are automatically dumped into a sluiceway and discharged into the water on the upstream side of the barrier, is hoisted by means of a counterpoise tank ^ which is periodically filled with water from a supply reservoir surmounting the tower. The cage and tank are secured to the opposite ends of a cable that passes over pulleys at the top of the shaft. The fish compartment is provided with two doors, one at eacir end. When It is at the bottom of the shaft beneath the water one of these gates is raised to permit fish to enter. On the other hand, an auxiliary door on the shaft lets down and prevents fish from swimming around to the hack Bide of the guides or into the space \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnormally occupied by the carrier, when the latter ascends.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPopular Mechanics Magazine. \"...

Not Yet Properly Realized What la the matter with the movies? Their course of, development makes many shudder at the prediction that the dramatic performance of the future will be found too costly for any purpose except the making of films.

The need of appealing to the child mind may also make for exaggerations that are stupid and weakly startling. The juvenile audience is a new feature, and while it is considered from the amusement standpoint in some ,of the burlesque scenes, it is generally ignored, from a broad educational and moral standpoint, in the fervid melodramas. These make up 75 per cent of tho films examined by the Pennsylvania state board of censors, whose systematic classification is certainly enlightening Lurid scenes of murder, arson, burglary, highway robbery, theft, assault, train wrecking, and' other crimes of violence make up the bulk of what is presented for popular entertainment.' Defectively, balanced minds are moved .not by the-logic hid away in the impossible scenes, but by the law of suggestion working through them. The protest against censorship to a child standard or to an unbalanced mind standard is familiar, but the course of movie development is largely a response to the demands of the unbalanced and the ohild mind. The shock of wild exaggeration is needed to arouse excitement or hold a jaded interest. The'amazing growth of the movies imposes the necessity of another course of development toward general recognition. The five per cet/t. of films found normal and wholesome, varied in their appeal, show that a start can be made toward better conditions. Public indifference and lack of discernment are largely due-to the fact that to many the movie is, still only a great curiosity. So great is the wonder at scenes being depicted at all that sufficient tnought is 'not bestowed on .their nature, lessons and influence. This attitude will soon pass, and a critical and disc -rning public will be found effectively supplementing and completing the work of official censorship.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDToronto Globe.

Cream handled under these conditions must seriously injure the quality of the butter manufactured, and the general inferior quality of dairy butter is transmitted through the ,buying stations, to the creamery biit ter, and would eventually deprive the better dairymen of the export market, where through years of hard work a good reputation has been gained. Croam buying stations also mean less money for the farmer who produces the cream,-because of the added cost of the middleman who operates the station. Express charges are paid by practically all of the creameries so there is nothing to prevent any farmer from shipping his cream direct to a creamery. The express companies give a rate on a five gallon can of cream, and any farmer with two 'or three cows should be able to s.irp a full can of Food For Soldiers The Favorite Dishes of the Various Allied Soldiers One of the greatest problems which confront the military leaders of the different countries is to supply the soldiers with adequate satisfying food. Napoleon spoke truly when he said that armies fight on their bellies. The British commissariat has had many problems to solve. Men well fed at home have to be well fed at the front. The English soldier must have his jam and marmalade as well as beef. The Russian soldier presents an easier problem. All he asks is plenty of \"stchee,\" a sort of gruel or thick soup made of pork, oatmeal, potatoes and cabbage, boiled together with salt and other seasoning. The French soldier also consumes vast quantities-of what he calls \"soup,\" although in reality it is a thick and nourishing stew, made of meat, potatoes, and various other vegetables. Where are the Old Ladies For the Bis: Drive Italian soldiers demand their regu- this size every four or five days, so Mai-supply of macaroni and spaghetti, the argument that the small farmer is deprived of a market for his cream does not hold good, in any case cans partially filled can be forwarded and are accepted by the creameries. The regulations recently _ issued by the Dairy Commissioner with respect to buying stations do not impose any hardship nor ask for any unnecessary equipment or accommodation, but simply provides for conditions under which cream can, be handled properly and the farmer 'who produces it obtains fair returns for his labor. ' Regulations similar to those enacted by the Saskatchewan Government have recently been passed by tbe Manitoba Government. Cream buying stations have become even more numerous rn that province than in Saskatchewan, and already the quality of Manitoba butter has been injured by cream shipped from buying stations. It was desirous that similar conditions should not \"prevail in Saskatchewan, and to prevent the possibility of this, regulations governing cream buying stations were passed Zeppelins Prove A Boomerang Why They Have Done the Germans More Harm Than Good , For Cream Buying Stations New Regulations in Saskatchewan in Order to Improve Quality of Cream Regulations governing Cream Buying Stations, effective after June 15, 1916, have been issued by the Dairy Branch, Department of Agriculture, Regina, and require that all such stations be licensel and subject to inspection. To protect the reputation of the creamery butter of Saskatchewan in both home and export markets, it has been considered advisable to provide that certain conditions be complied with in order to protect the quality of a product so easily injured as butter. Owners of cream buying stations throughout the province have already been advised of the conditions necessary and application forms sent them to apply for license. The buying of cream, through the medium of buying stations was rapidly becoming a serious danger not only in Saskatchewan but in the other prairie provinces aa well. Buying stations for the purchase of cream were being established in towns and villages all over the West, many of these by merchants who bad no experience or knowledge in the testing or care of cream, and who had no suitable place or equipment for handling it. Generally speaking, little or no attention has been given by the cream buying stations to the grading of cream, and farmers have been paid as much for over ripe cream of bad flavor as for sweet cream of good flavor. Furthermore, the identity of the cream is lost at the buying stations through the mixing of the cream for shipment to the creamery, and the creamory receiving it is unable to determine which farmers are sending cood orenm or which bad. consequently no Improvement in the care or quality of the cream could be hoped for under these conditions. In addition to this inferior cream was often held for several hours uncooled in a - Comparison of the aerial defences of Paris with those of London to the detriment of the latter have followed every successful Zeppelin raid upon the Imperial metropolis., Critics have pointed to the immunity of Paris as proof of the incompetence of the British air service and of the inadequacy of defence provisions by the War Office, i The reason for the apparent superiority of the French authorities in the defence of their capital was, however, stated in an interview given by Prince Poniatowski; an attache of the French War Office, upon his arrival in New York to purchase aeronautical supplies for his Government. \"London is as well off as far as equipment goes to ward off Zeppelin raids as Paris,\" he said. ' \"The reason that they are made on England instead of orr Paris is that to make a successful raid on the French capital and return safely, they must cross the firing lines twice. Paris also can get an adequate warning. In attacks on London, on the other hand, the Zeppelins have no firing lines to cross and can descend upon the English city without warning.\" In the Prince's opinion, the Zeppelins have done the German cause more harm than good and he sums up their efforts in a few brief but pointed sentences: \"The Zeppelins, as an engine, of war, have acted as a boomerang for these reasons: They have aroused England to a high pitch of .patriotism in quicker time than would otherwise have been possible; they have meant an enormous cost, they have obtained no military results; and they have aroused the disgust of the neutral nations. The Germans argue that their Zeppelin raids are a part of their military offensive. If this is so, why don't the Zeppelins fly over the firing lines and drop bombs on the soldiers, instead of flying over cities far afield and dropping bombs on women and children.\" and eat little '. meat. Their diet consists largely, of farinaceous foods, fruits and wine, the latter being issued as part of their regular rations. The German soldiers get their meat rations largely in the form of sausage. Give a Teuton plenty ,of sausage with beer to wash it down and he is perfectly content. ; ' - \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'.-.

Serb in Anglican Pulpit A Serbian priest, Father Nicolia Velimivovic, has been preaching at St. Margaret's Westminster. Russian music was sung by the choir before the sermon. The church was quite full half an hour before the service began. Taking as his subject \"The Slav Orthodoxy,\" the preacher said he looked upon the Anglicanism as a true religion lived by the people, but it seemed to him less vivid, less compelling, and less national than the religion of the Russian church. He would welcome a union between the churches which would bind the Russian and the British races in a true brotherhood. More Wood Pulp Mills Canadian Wood Pulp Will be Used to Supply the Empire Some months ago, when the , relationship between Great Britain and Sweden was somewhat strained owing to the effect of. German influence in the press and the seizure by the British war ships of vessels suspected of carrying contraband from Swedish ports to the enemy, the Government of Sweden, as a reprisal,, forbade the export of pulp to Great Britain. That action resulted in an immediate rise in the price of pulp sulphite, curtailment in the size of newspapers in Great Britain, and a situation that gave a measure of anxiety to the paper mills, whose stocks were not large. . Canada was appealed to. But her transportation service was so handicapped, and her own supplies so restricted, that shipments on a large scale could not be considered. The price of pulp in the meantime continued to mount up till they were five times dearer than when war broke out. Information to hand from London is to the effect that the embargo put upon pulp from Svveuen is virtually removed, but that it is too late for Sweden to regain the trade that she lost by her action. Considerable progress, has been made with arrangements for the establishment in Canada of a huge mill for the production of sulphite pulp and it is expected that it will not be necessary to import much pulp from Sweden after the war. How. the Old Ladies of the Present Age\" Have Become Transformed Someone was' saying the other day (and she won't mind seeing her idea here) that the elderly woman of today is sowing her wild oats and having the protracted good time of her life. Obviously from the time a woman is married her years are filled with cares and- responsibilities, until finally the children grow up, marry, leave home, and, husband having developed the poise and content of tlie,' usual elderly person, she finds to her amazement that she is free. Then comes , the period of wild oats. She keeps a date book, goes to clubs, has a place on boards of things, travels oh the federation special across continent, as likely as not, lives at hotels, sends her own telegrams, orders taxis, treats other women to luncheons and din-- ners, makes speeches, votes if she has a chance, legislates, uplifts and keeps a telephone on her desk. These are only a few. If she'is not interested in this sort of thing you will discover her tucked away in the back seat of a touring car, where she is not; the least trouble in the world, and is always under all circumstances, a perfectly splendid credential of respectability. Two generations ago women of her age were senile, and sat in the chimney corner where they would be out of the way. But the >chimney corner went out of architecture^ and she was just as naturally, uprooted. There are fewer old ladies' homes than there promised to be. Not while' grandmother can wear her granddaughters' shoes and hats and sashes and beads is she going to an old ladies- home. A generation ago there promised to be a call for an old ladies' home in every block. It's wonderful how we old ladiesohave become transformed, and fairly forced another issue. Of course, we are sowing our wild oats. We have made a place for ourselves. Hurrah 1 Really there are no old ladies.

Prepare For a Knockout , To whichever part of the European fronts we look the most remarkable fact is still the refusal of the allied commands to be provoked into a premature offensive. Evidently the British have only to be unleashed on the west and the Crown Prince's effort must be arrested; so, too, the Austrians can be concentrated upon the Trentino because no special pressure is being put upon them in the east and southeast. There can only be one rational interpretation of these facts, and in France the army and civilian public realize it so well that they bear the strain without a whisper of complaint. The allies have now a definite ascendancy and at any moment they can reduce the enemy to a defensive on any and every side, but the autumn offensives in tho Champagne and Artois taught their authors many things. They effected more in a tew days than the: Crown Prince won on the Meuse in three months. Here .is the measure of the difference of strength0 today. , The German command undertook the battle of Verdun because.it could not contemplate a larger operation, and it is now so deeply involved that it cannot draw. out. The allies, on the other hand, are so bent upon a vastly larger operation, which they hope will be decisive, that they prefer to risk local and momentary losses rather than postpone the day when they will be fully ready, to deliver in common their knockout,blow. It would, therefore, be unfair to General Joffre and the General's officers and men directly concerned to regard the struggle north of Verdun as a fair trial of strength. Vast ' as are its proportions and the sacrifices involved, it is over-shadowed by a coming event incomparably greater. Enemy strategy, whether on the Meuse or the Adige, is to destroy this,menace. It is at once the weakness and: strength of the allies that while putting forth at these points just a sufficient defensive effort they must never compromise the supremely important work of preparation.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLondon Chronicle.

Have it as close to the woods as you wish, but so that the sun will shine on your tent. Sunlight is the healthiest thing in the world. It is the. best disinfectant. If you pitch your tent under the thick trees, there will always be an unhealthy dampness, and mosquitoes -will flock in. Then, too, in thunder-storms there is less danger in the open than under trees. The all-important reason, however, for pitching your tent in the open is the matter of health. Do not put up the tent in a hollow. Water will lodge under it with the first shower. Set it on a little knoll. All this holds good whether- you use an A-tent, wall-tent, lean-to. or any other sort of shelter.

Most of the articles thus sent out come in generous measure from the Red Cross branches in Canada.
