THE WINII1ll TILES.
ti. B. ELLIOTT, PIIBaasRYR 4ND PROPRIETcs
THURSDAY. AUGUST 19, 1909.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Mr, W. L. Mackenzie King was
Deputy Minister of Labor. Opposition
orgaus were ao impressed with the effi-
ciency of bis work and the value of bis
services to the country that they repeat-
edly urged that he be taken into the
Goodrum° •t. In doe course Mr. Xing
was elected to the House of Commons
and elected to a seat in the Cabinet, for
which he had been nominated by his
Conservative opponents. Witness the
change! From that day to this the
Opposition organs have been in full
cry after him, and the young man who
a few months ago was hailed as a states-
man ha now- denonnoed as a coward and
an idler. Mr. Mackenzie King has not
changed. The present attitude of the
Opposition press le merely a fresh il-
lustration of partizanisea run mad.-
Halffex Chronicle.
It has come to be an established owe
•
tom for Ministers to Sake an annual
holiday, and to fill their pulpits while
they are away with any kind of a
stop gap they call find. We have ob-
served for a number of years, how this
thing works out, and in our opinion it
works out so badly, that we would un-
hesitatingly advocate the adoption of
the American system of closing the
church doors, while the regular minis-
ter is away. If the occupant of the
pulpit needs a holiday, then it follows
that the occupant of the pew also needs
a holiday, and he might better take it at
the same time as the minister. This
thing of forcing untrained men into the
pulpit, during the absence of the regular
pastor, is the tinieat kind of make-
believe. No body pays the slightest
attention to what he Hays, and the bulk
of the congregation stay away. Where
there are several ohurohes in a town, a
better plan Would be for tho ministers to
arrange the holiday programme, among
themselves They could take their holi-
days in regular rotation, and this would
avoid the necessity of there being two
vacant pulpits at one and the tame time.
Under this system, if a man found his
own churoh closed, he could go to a
neighboring church, or if he preferred
to bleep in, he could do so with a clear
oa0ecienoe. Anyvwey, that's how it
looks to The Telescope. -- Walkerton

Public Schools Act.
The following paragraphs from the
Fabtio Sohoole Act are of interest to
teachers and trnsteee: -If a teacher
negligently or wilfully permits an un-
authorized book to be used as a text
book by the puptis of hie school the
Minister, on the report of the inspec-
tor, may suspend such teacher, and
the board may also deduct from hip

ease to report to the Board and to the

The Railway Commission.

been rendered in a great variety of ways,

panes. It regulates the relations of the
municipalities concerned in the matter
of level crossings. In this direction it
has leaned an order calling upon all rail-
way companies to meet by June 1, 1911.
The statuary requirement regarding the
fencing of railway tracks and the pro-
vision of effective cattle guards. That
the usefulness and popularity of the
commission have a wise and constantly
enlarging range, and that the business
coming before it is consistently on the
increase is shown by the report of the
statistical and record branch of the
board for the past fiscal year. There
were reoeived 8,479 applications, equiv-
alent to more than ten for every work-
ing day in the year and 854 more than
dealt with the preceding year. The
number of rulings made was 51,913, an
increase of 6,499; orders issued, 2,249, or
462 more than in 1908. The cases
heard at public sittings numbered 787 ---

How our "int-er1ock" pin -block
adds to the life and beauty of
tone of the Mason and Rischpiano.
IN all pianos except the Mason
and Risch the pin -block is
anchored to the frame by iron
bolts.
This certainly holds the block
firmly when the bolts are first
placed, but if the piano
is in a warm room these
bolts expand and enlarge
the holes they are in.
When the room gets
cold they contract. They
keep expanding and con-
tracting until they work

tingthe piano out of tune
and marring its tone. Sectional view of "Interloc1e" a position securely •

as
and
Risch
The piano with a soul.
Now, we wrestled with this problem years ago
and solved it with our patent wooden " interlock"
method of construction, which is exclusive to the
Mason and Risch piano.
By our method we sink a series of end -wood
"interlocks " into the top of the pin -block and back
frame as shown in the illustration. Every change in
temperature affects the "interlock " to exactly the
same extent as it does the pin -block so it is a me-
chanical impossibility for them to work loose.
Thus the Mason and Risch piano lives and /
retains its pure, rich tone long after other /
instruments are jangling discords.

FARMING BY ELECTRICITY.
Germany Has Tried It, Will the Ameri-
can Follow?
Electric farming? Why not? The
time was when a suggestion that the
farmer in this country would have his
mail delivered in a box nailed to his
front gatepost would have betru laugh-
ed down, But the time came, and the
old style of traveling a long distance
in cold and heat over rough roads to
the nearest village once a week for
letters and newspapers passed out for-
ever in most parts of the country.
Then it was suggested that the farm-
er might get the news of quotations on
products of the soil and live stock and
arrange his deals by telephone while
he was in his family room and that
the wires which would carry the in-
formation would be constructed out of
the wires of his fence. The farmer
and others laughed at this idea. But
t to thing was done, and now the mod-

ern farmhouse has its phone the same
as the city office and the city home.
Will we come to electric farming?
It has come in Germany, and the
American farmer is not behind the
farmer of Germany or any other coun-
try in intelligence and progressiveness.
If electricity benefits the German
farmer, why shouldn't it benefit the
American farmer?
The use of electric power on large
faun operations has already been
highly developed in some localities In
Germany. The plan is to place a cen-
tral power plant at the points where
it will be convenient for the nearby
population.
The electricity is collected in storage
batteries. which are then mounted on
Wheels and taken wherever the power
is needed. One of these traveling bat-
teries may be connected with a farm-
ers power wood saw to work up the
winter's supply in a few hours. Then
the battery is moved to the next farm,

where It may connect with the grain
mill, as showu in one of the illustra-
tions.
Another set of batteries is shown as
a truck and dragging a gang plow.
Another storage truck at the opposite
side of the field draws the plow back
again. Besides the portable form of
electric power, the establishment sup-
plies light, heat and permanent power
wherever required in the neighbor-
hood.
Fats For Farmers.
Two crops of clover will remove
eighty-three pounds of nitrogen, fifteen
pounds of phosphoric acid and eighty-
eight pounds of potash.
A ton of timothy alone
twenty-five pounds of nitrogen, ten and
one-half pounds of phosphoric acid ant
eighteen pounds of potash.
A twenty-five bushel crop of wheat
win take off fifty-three pounds of ni-
trogen, fifteen pounds of phosphoric
acid and twenty-three pounds of pot-
ash.
It is said that it fifty bushel crop of
core will rob the soil of thirteatwo and
one -halt pounds of nitrogen, thirty-one
pounds of phosphoric acid and sixty-
five pounds of potash.
A wised crop of clover and timothy
amounting to one and a half tons per
here takes fifty-nine pounds of nitro-
gen, fourteen pounds of phosphoric
acid 00d forty-six pounds of potash.
