Canada', It it liberty for themselves
to sell stuff that slakes drunkards,
paupers, criminals and insane, That
is the liberty they want.
To attain that end they stoop to any
falsehood. I have just been, reading
one of their advertisements which is: a.
base attempt by cleverly worded false-
hoods,. to defeat prohibition, to take.
away the,Iiberty of our sons and make
them slaves of the bar room$. They
want to take away our liberty to be
free'from drunkeness, t.o hove our sons
sober, to have fewer insane, to have
lower taxes, to have prosperity instead
of poverty, to have as little crime as
they have in Prince Edward. Island and
other prohibition states, to share in the
peace and'prosperity that has come al-
ready to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
They say that prohibitionists want to
dictate what you shall drink. That is
simply untrue. Prohibition does not say
you shall not drink, but it does say you
shall not sell drink. Every family is.
allowed a reasonable quantity for their
own use. That is true of every prohi-
bition state in the union Prohibition
puts an end to the treating system and
makes it more difficult to get drink,
but those. who want it for their own
use have liberty to get it. But that
does not suit the Personal Liberty
League, for it gives people the liberty
to drink or to leave it alone. They
knew well that the treating system
destroys the liberty of a very large
number and makes them the slaves of
drink.
They would give our sons the liberty
of the jail, the asylum and the potter's
field. They would givelour daughters
the liberty of the brothel, our children
the liberty of tee poor house, and our
w,ol.en the liberty to go out washing.
They have been' giving us that kind of
liberty long enough. It is time for a
change.

KLYTH.
(Intended for last week.)
A quiet marriage was solemnized at
the rectory Thursday afternoon, when
Miss Hannah Mole, of Auburn, became
the bride of Pte.' Alexander Casemore,
of the Wroxeter company, of the 161st
Hurons.
The war auxilary have taken a com-
plete census of the village, and have
registered 87 men of military age.
Thirty of these are single men and
many of them ought to enlist. There
are 3t) recruits in the Blyth company
under command of Lieut. Scott, who is
proving himself a most capable and
popular officer.
On Monday morning, Feby. 21st,
after an illness of only a few days,
Blyth's oldest resident in the person of
Mr. Laughlin McQuarrie passed to the
great beyond. The late Mr, McQuarrie
was born on the 7th concession of the°
Township of Ramsay, County of Lanark,
on July 16th, 1823. He was born of
Scotch parents who came to Canada
from the Isle of Mull. On the old home-
stead in Ramsay Township Mr. Mc -
Quarries younger days were spent,
and where he married 59 years ago to
Miss Helen Smith and one year later,
1858, he came to Blyth and has resided
here almost continuously since.
Throughout his life Mr. McQuarrie
followed the occupation of a carpenter
and many barns and dwellings in this
section are monuments of his work. In
April, 1871, Mr, McQuarrie was bereft
of his life partner by death and shortly
afterwards he moved with his family
to Almonte but returned to Blyth after
a couple of years' residence there. In
politics he was Liberal and in religion
Presbyterian and member of St. 'And-
rew's Church for many years.

LOOK UP SEED POTATOES NOW.
Owing to the heavy losses in potatoes
by disease last year. growers are ad-
vised by the Dominion Department .of
Agriculture, to immediately reserve for
eeed purposes, the quantity, and a little
more, to make allowance for further
losses through rot, required for seed
purposes. These should. be hard -
selected tubers, sound and free from
any sign of rot or decay, of uniform
size and pure in variety. They should
be. kept until planting time in a dark,
welt -ventilated, and cool place of stor-
age, spread out in a layer nut more than
three potatoes deep. There can be
little doubt that furmera who have a
good quantity of sound seed potatoes
on hand will obtain a high price for
them when others begin to realize the
scarcity of such seed.

MAUD S. AND D eN PATCH
Names to conjure with amongst lovers
of horseflesh were Maud S. and the
famous Dan. They were the outcome
of patient training grafted on steriing
qualities of form and endurance; they
were developed in speed and staying
Trower when some evid.nce of their
excellence had been discovered.
In the dairy ,w -grid many.names of
excellent cows are emblazoned in hist ory.
They made astounding records in the
hands of careful feeders who discovered
their great capacity Note two points
first, although many good records are
now known, the possibilities of such
yields of milk and fat were, in many
cases, totally undreamed of even by
the men who at one time owned such
magnificent cows; second, what has
added to the value of the worlds re-
cord breakers is the very fact th,t
simple, cold arithmetic has been used
to, calculate the milk and fat production
Some system of dairy records, then,
has helped this discovery of the com-
peers of Maud and Dan; records are
helping dairymen to -day to discriminate
intelligently between the pledding
utility cow and the high speed, long -
endurance cow. A note to the dairy
division, Ottawa, will bring any reader,
without cost, samples of record forms.
the keeping of which will prove a use-
ful eyeopener, and increase your income.
POULTRY FOR BEGINNERS.
Very many whcstart poultry farming
seem to aim ate cheapness in every-
thing—cheap birds, cheap appliances;
and it is not surprising that they often
give it up in disgust just when they
ought to be making progress, and feel-
ing satisfied with themselves and
everything about them,
Numbers of people do not care what
kind of birds they go in for so long as
they are obtained for little money. and
the veriest rubbish are often purchased
to supply their wants.
The best breeds for beginners should
be classed in different sections, It
would be foolish in an exposed place
to go in for Houdans or even Black
Minorcas. Both are good varieties,
produce a lot of large white eggs during
the Spring and Summer months if in
sheltered places, but are no good for
Wait hillsides.
However. a grant authority suggests
leaving these two varieties alone, and
choosing Anconas, White or Black Leg
horns, Blue Andalusians, and possibly
Silver Campirtes. The latter are very
small birds, but produce large eggs, and
do not consume much food, are excel-
lent
xcel
lent foragers, and as a rule show- big
profits.
Anconas are just a Tittle larger than
Catnpines, and really mere profitable.
They give excellent results on the int
tensive system. and should therefore
be'the thing fof town poultry farmers
without much room to spare, They
layr ell in the whiter v ter and exceptional.
iy Well in the Summer.
White and Bieck Legherris nave been
!loonier for many years, and today the
`White Leghorn is guaranteed first in
the non -sitting section. Probably more
fanciers keep White Leghorn than any
other breed, while for intensive work
they have no rival.

Not What They Seemed.
A marquise who was in residence for
a few days at a Parisian .hotel discos,
ered that her pearl necklace. worth
$15,000, had disappeared from her

much trouble should he made about
"a trashy little trinket," which, she
explained, looked so cheap and tawdry
that She had given it to her daughter-
in-law. ,This young, woman, In her
teens, displayed an equal contempt for
the "bits of things." She told the po-
lice that she bad given the necklace
to her little girl to wear, but she bad
removed about half the beads. Ali the
missing pearls were found in a box
among buttons and hooks and eyes.
The Lilies.
Two thousand years ago it was sup-
posed that water lilies closed their
flowers at night and retreated far an-
tler water to emerge again at sunrise.
This was Pliny's view. and It was not
impeached until the English botanist
John Ray in 1688 first doubted its ve-
racity. '!-hs ;•rest lily of Zanzibar, one
of the ge;:..dent or the lily family, opens
its flowers, ten inches wide, between
11 in the morning and 5 .in the after-
noon. They are of the richest royal
blue, with from 150 to 200 golden sta-
mens in the center, and they remain
open four or five days. It is not gener-
ally known that there are lilies that
have nocturnal habits—night bloomers
as well as day bloomers. They are very
punctual timekeepers, too, opening and
closing with commendable regularity.

Poor Loser.
"Good morning, Dodswaite." said the
first commuter after he had settled
himself in a seat and partly regained
his breath.
"Morning, Gadson," said the second
commuter somewhat shortly.
"You don't seem pleased to see me."
"I should say not. When I saw you
running just now I made a bet with
the gentleman on my left that you
wouldn't catch this train. Drat the
luck! I've lost $5.
Flies Flee Blue.
A French scientist is authority for
the statement that tiles have a distinct
objection to the color blue. This was
first discovered by a farmer- who keeps
a large number of cows in several
sheds. One of these sheds happened
to be painted blue on the inside, and
in this the cows were little troubled
by flies. He blued all the walls and
thus protected all his rows.
The Menu.
"Will you have some off the tomatoes
and lettuce with French dressing?"
chirped the young wife.
"No," returned the husband, musing
on his bachelor dinners, now forever
gone. "My salad days are over."
"Well," spoke up the wife sharply,
"the next course is the roast."
And she served him a large portion
piping hot.

BUYING SEED OATS.
If the local supply of geed ca's is of
poor quality, take care in `getting new
stock for sowing. It is better to get
this supply front points east or west. as
the varieties are more likely to be those
which will do well locally. Varieties
which may be best two or three hundred
miles to the north or south may not be
at all suitable. If new seed is wanted,
ask the county agent or the experiment,
station where to get it and what vari-
eties to buy.
If you have been growing a variety
which does well in your locality; it is
better to sow well -cleaned seed of that
variety grown on your own farm or in
your county then to

The edea, that :oats run out and thatit
is necessary to gat new seed every few
years is quite: common, but it is pot
justified by the facts, There ie no:
reason why a good variety t,f eats
shouldnot be just as' good 20 years
hence as it is now, if care is taken to
keep it pure. The seed should be
cl.,aned and graded eachyear, taking
out the weed seeds and the smali
:kernels, It should also be treated for
smut at least once in two or three
years. If the seed is of good quality
it willnot pay to run it through the
fanning mill more than once, to take
out the kernels and weed seeds; If
the Reed ispoor er very, weedy, tanning
it through a second time and taking out
two-thirds or more of the grain is well
worth while.
