This form of bad acting can­ not bd tolerated. So far no one but the thieves and their victims seems to take this form of', law-breaking seriously. ‘ Law makers allow the statutes to limp along’ at the pace of -the old days when chicken-rais­ ing was a mere sideline of no com­ mercial or industrial importance and when the chicken thief was regard­ ed as a somewhat clever joker. The day for that sort of thing be­ longs to the past. Chicken-raising and egg-production are now major industries. Individual fowls are now worth thousands of dollars. The collection of a flock or high- producing fowl is the result of years of toil and; of costly investment. Why, then, -should the chicken-thief be allowed a’free pass to his evil work? Magistrates and decent citi­ zens everywhere must be taken to punish this nuisance. Farmers greatly dislike taking matters of this sort into their own hands,Yet what is to be done when no one in au- authority lifts his finger in a mat­ ter so important? Action is de­ manded. Tragedy dogs the heels of incompetency in high places, TRUE to record March is running true to record, We had a few balmy days that made us think of running saj) and taffy pulls. Then came the blizzard of last week that played havoc, with ■our street signs and kicked up di­ does generally. Farmers were out wiring down the roofs of their barns and sheds and lean-tos. Some who were not on the job in time found that old Boreas had requisitioned rafters and shingles and provided them as munitions for the war of the elements. Roads that were ra­ pidly approaching the condition where cars .could run with comfort were snow-blocked in an hour. Cold days followed that ate into the coal­ bins and devoured me rations of man and beast. This period was fol­ lowed by days in which, while the sun was warm, the winds froze the marrow bones. Small boys have been watching the trees for signs of running sap only to be dissappoint- ed. The lamb is keeping out of the way of the lion, while the lion, is re­ ported to have ordered. a . new fur qoat. Meanwhile the sun is get­ ting into .good condition for finding sturdy old March’s wind. The sun always has his way, while March ex­ pires at the end of.feis thirty-first day. Some small’ ©oys were seen playing marbles last Monday. Two .little girls were busy with a skipping rope. One thirty housewife, is known to have started houseclean* ing, while two men were seen eat­ ing a cold lunch in the woodshed. All in all there are evidences t<hat spring is on the way. BRAINS IN FARMING (Toronto Globe) . In ft recent editorial The Arthur Enterprise has a very pertinent com­ ment on the qualifications that are demanded today from the successful farmer. The text for the homily was found in the remax'k of a friend of the editor who, at the mechanism machine, remarked man that built it brains to run a f The Enterprise to speak of the busi­ ness of farming as follows: “The successful farmer must be fairly familiar with 'business moth- ocls umcl wit lx so ms o£ tlw fuc tors operative in oui' modern economic structure. He must be something -of a mechanic, as mechanical labor- saving devices, some of them fairly complicated, are now regarded as essential to the farm routine. He must have some idea of physics if he is to give his soil the correct treatment which it requires. The proper care of his live stock presup­ poses some knowledge of the funda­ mental principles of, veterinary science. He must possess consider­ able initiative—must be 9 8 per cent, industrious and, perhaps above all, must possess, as w'e suggested earl- iei' jn this article, a peculiar mental ■ temperament that the profession of agriculture requires, combining abil­ ity fox’ affairs and capacity fox’ routine. The boy who does not vgive promise of possessing these qualifications should endeavour to find his place with some large fi­ nancial concern or industrial cor­ poration, where his actions can be directed from head office, and where very little initiative on his part is required.” That the Enterprise is right, no one who knows anything of farming requirements’ can liave any doubt. Conditions have changed in agricul­ ture iix the past half-century, and brains are of more account today than brawn jn making a success of this profession. Farming is a science in modern life, and scientific train­ ing and education are necessary if the highest results are to be obtain­ ed. It was to impart these and- to meet the changed conditions, prevail­ ing that agricultural colleges were founded in this and other Provinces. There ar© many men who can run a bank who would be utterly unable to run' a farm; many who make mil­ lions following the. vagaries of the stock market who <?’ould not make “salt to their', kail” if they had follow the plow. while marvelling of the linotype that perhaps the “hadn’t enough arm,” This led to ROGER BABSON ONCE SAID; “Like other hoys, I had always told that I should be good and would be happy; but like I never believed it, naturally tried to 'do as could and get as much I.

LACKS (Hamilton Herald) Arthur Beverley Baxter.said in Canada lie noted a lack of criti­ cism. He found political disagree­ ment and vituperation, but no criti­ cism.. He might have put it in an­ other way and said there was no public opinion. This is one of the chief defects of our social economy. It is the result of parochial and sec­ tional interests occupying th© minds of the people. They are .intensely for Hamilton or for Toronto and for­ got that what is good fox’ one is good for the other; what is bad for one is bad for the other; what bene­ fits one benefits both; that there is a common interest above and beyond all -special or local interests. It is the difference between politics and statemanship. We have developed very few statesmen with all our ability ill public and business affair: 50 YEARS AGO * Qn Friday night last Mi’.
