Mr IL 0, Hocken editor of the
Orange Sentinel after reading many
articles which rediculed Camp Borden
took a trip to the placeand upon his
return writes as follows:
"The advantages of the eite—a9

plyof the best water, so pure that it
can be used in surgical operations with-
out treatment; (2) its aceessibility to
nearly every oorner of the province,
and particularly to the more densely
populated Emotions; (3) the absence of
mud and the clay dust which is caus-
ed by the drilling of so many men;
(4) it's altitude and charming diversity
of scenery which adds immensely to
its salubrityAnd in relief of that mon-
otony which is generally a feature of

The Simooe Reformer, owned and
published by Mr. Hal.Donly, president
of the Canadian Press Associatimi and
one of the foremost Liberals of the
province, contains this week a second
remarkable article in defence of Camp
Borden. The article is striking' in that
it offers a severe rebuke to the disloy-
alty and dishonesty of newspapers like
The Toronto Globe, which spoke of the
camp as a "horror", Editor Donly
pleads for patriotic action at this time.
He says that for two years he "has
regarded a Grit vietory as of secondary
Importance," and declares that
"There is just one thing we ought
all to be doing, and that is helping to
whipthe Germane."
Mr Donly recites in his newspaper
that he visited Camp Borden in July
and that the impressions he then gained
of the camp werethat "it was a mighty
good camp in which to train soldiers."
A. second visit,he says, "only confirms
that opinion," He renaarks upon the
reception of his last article, upholding
the camp, and says:
"We discovered that we have deeply
grieved a lot of partisan Grits who
dont give a bang what happens so
long as they win a party victory.'

A Chance for the Mudslingers
Premier Borden puts it fairly and
squarely up to the mudslingers and
defamers of Canada when he declares:
wieh to say that if any man in this
city, in this province or in this Dom-
inion, knows of any graft in relation
to the Goverment of Canada let him
bring the charge to my notice, and if
an investigation is necessary an invest-
igation will he made without one
moment's delay. if proceedings in the
courts are required to deal with any
public official, those proceedings will
be instituted."
For months past the good name of
Canada has been held up to the rep-
roach of all good names by a lot of spine.
hes politicians, who hinted about graf-
and scandals in a manner that was
-sickening to honest people. Theyhave
bad their opportunity to make good
and failed. Now the Premier leaves
a standing invitation open to them to
bring their charges to his notice, and
promiseeehat uo official will be shield-
ed. Those who are forever suspicious
of their neighbore, and will to defame
Canada,have now the opportunity of
their lives to make good. If they can -

The saying 'The resources of Canada
are inexhaustible' is true of no food
products more than of honey. An
abundance of honey -yielding flowers,
with a high average of favourable
weather for the production and in -
gathering of honey, makes Canada a
good country for the bee -keeper.
Moreover, the bulk of Canadian honey
is of unsurpassed quality, and honey
has become, as it deserves to be, a
staple article of food in many places,
selling readily at satisfactory prices
when properly distributed. So states'
the Dominion Apiarist, Mr. F. W. L.
Sladen, in Bulletin No. 26 Second Sere
les; just issued by the Departwent of
Agriculture, Ottawa, that can be had
free on application to the Publications
Branch of the Department. Mr. Sled -
en furnishes the further imformation
that in Ontario and Quebec, and in
regions in the other provinces of the
Dominion, there are an increasing
number of people who make bee -keep-
ing their principle businese, someof
the specialities in Ontario reaping an
income in excess of $2.500 per year,
while there are thousands who find it
a profitable And healthful auxiliary to
their annual revenue, In Ontario
alone it is estimated that there are
10,000 bee -keepers. Mr. Sladen, after
dealing with the advantages of bee-
keeping, and extending instructions
and advice to beginners, proceeds to
deal with the different elements it.
volved in bee -keeping and honey pro.
ductionse In a plain concise way he
tells of the location the apiary should
be given, the most desirable races, the
development and handling of the bees,
the diseases and enemice to which they
are subject, and the attention they
need at different seasons of the year.
He also gives a list, with descriptive
illustrations, of the principle honey -
producing plants with their approx.
imate yielding periods. In fact, it
would seem that pretty well every-
thing worth knowing about the culti-
vation and management of the honey-
bee is detailed in this handy sixty -page
official Bulletin or pamphlet published
for gratuitous eirculution.

Aug, 15th, 1910,
Dear Polks—You will be wondering
where we are about now, but we are
still making time across the pond.
This is tbe 7th day out and we ate
about tired of it, The sea has been
very calm and nobody bite been sick
as yet, It has been very cold and fog-
gy, and not much pleasure going. We
have two hours phyelcal drill every
day. We left Camp Borden on the
4th of this month and had a fine trip
to Halifax. We were taken out for a
routamarch twice, first at a place
called Riviere de Loup, somewhere in
Quebec. where everything was French
and again at Moncton, a fine little
city in N. B„ where we were given a
grand reception, a band met us and
led us around the city for an hour or
so. Sunday night we arrived at Bali.
fax, and on Monday morning boarded
the Cameronia. Three other boats
also loaded up with men but we did
not sail until Wednesday morning.
One of the seven British cruisers that
were lying in Halifax harbor came
along and is with us yet. The four
boats travel in line. with about a
quarter of a mile between them and
the cruiser everywhere. The Camer-
onia is not a very large boat and is
only built tor 500 passengere, There
are two companies of the 123rd with
us, making 1500 in all, so you can im-
agine we have no room to spate. Our
place first was rotten, but we made a
kick and got changed over and are
now in first class cabins and the grub
is the best here since I became a sold
ier, but you should see how the offi-
cers fare, it is a shame the way they
are fussed over and the extra fare they
get to eat. On the second day out a
fellow died of blood poisoning which
he contracted at Camp Borden. His
body was wrapped in the flag and car-
ried to the ton deck. We were all
lined up there and after a short ser-
vice the last Post was sounded and all
the fleet stepped and his body lowered
into the sea,

DISTRIBUTION OF SEED
GRAIN AND POTATOES
From the Dominion Experimental Farm'
1916—.1917.
By instructions of the Hon. Minister
of Agriculture a distrubution sup-
erior sorts of grains and potatoes will
be made during the coming winter and
wring to Oanadian farmere, The
samples for general distribution will
consist of spring wheat (about 5 lbs,),
white oats (about 4 lbe ), barley (about
5 lbs.), and field peas (about 5 lbe,).
These will be sent out from Ottawa.
A dristribution of potatoes in samples
of about Me, will be carried on from
several of the experimental faring, the
Central Farm at Ottawa supplying
only the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec. All eansples will be sent free
by mail.
Only one sample of grain and one of
potatoes can be sent to each farm. As
the supply of seed is limited, farmers
are advised to apply early. Requests
received after the end of December
will probably be too late.
Anyone desiring a sample should
write (post free) to the Dominion Cer-
ealist, Experimental Farm, Ottawa,

We are now in the war zone and
things are becoming a little interesting
and nobody is allowed below without
permission. The four boats divided
last night and we were taken in two
destroyers who keep racing around us
like a dog after a equirrel up a tree.
Away on the horizon we can see the
smoke of several big vessels, warships
I suppose. Everything is ready for a
dip in the see, all the lifeboate are
half lowered and everything that will
float a man is piled on deck. We
have to wear our life -belts all the time
now, and also have to sleep on deck
which is an awful cold berth. No
lights are allowed to be shown or any
smoking done at night. We can wear
our round caps or brass buttons and
half of us have our coats inside out so
that the lining will show like a wo-
man's dress. The idea is to keep the
enemy from knowing we are a troop-
ship, I have to go On guard today on

have a first class canteen which is run
by the army and navy stores and back-

P. POWELL, Clerk,
There are over 200 machine guns
mounted in all sorts of corners so we
are not going down without making
at least a little noise. All this warn-
ing does not alarm anyone in the
least. We are having our daily sports
and a big time in general. There is to
be a tug-of-war this afternoon between
platoon No, 9 and No. 2. I dont know
when I will get this posted perhaps
not until we are in camp.

We arrived safe and sound in Liver-

The country around here is beauti-

farnsiog done I think. The last
21 hours of our ocean trip was rather
exciting. Four destroyers met us and
then all the boats eeperated and each
made fog port at it fastest speed; we
made ten knots an hour more than we
had done before. Every boat we met
had to stand to and be recognized,
The people in Liverpool seemed mighty
glad to see us and suoh a crowd gath- ,
ered on the dock, we could scarcely
get off the boat, Every boat that
owned a whistle had it; tied down for
about ten minutes, It is a very busy
place, boats there from almost every
country in the world. We were put
on the train right away. It was very
uncomfortable riding on the train—
