COL HUGHES' VALOR
Oa February 23rd, Col, Sam. Hughes,
Minister of Militia, speaking under the
protection of tbe Douse of Commons,
=used lion. .Sydney Fisher,
ter of Agriculture, of having made
parsonal profit opt of the purchase of
the Farnham military carnp site by
the Government of which he was at the
time a member.
On February 25 Mr. Fisher wrote to
the press unequivocally denying the
charge, challenging Col. Hughes to re-
peat his charge outside of the House,
and stating that action for criminal
libel would immediately follow.
On February 27th, Mr, E. B. Devlin,
(Wright), brought the mattsr up in the
House. After the Speaker had tried
by interpretation of the rules to pre
vent Mr, Devlin from introducing the
question. Col. Hughes was finally
fdrced to make a statement in answer
to a query by Sir Wilfrid Laurier as to
whether he persisted in his statement
or not, and whether he wont 1 repeat
it outside the House where he would
not be protected agairest an actin)
for libel.
Col. Hughes replied that he did not
"belong to the craven crowd." He did
not "require any lessons in gallantry
or courage from the ex -Prime Minister,"
and he proceeded to show his valor by a
modified repitition of the charge -still
within the protection of the Green
Chamber,
Apparently Col. Hughes considers
the incident closed. He has shown no
sign of any intention to make his ac-
cusation in the open.
That even his friends expect him to
do something about it, is shown by the
following editorial paragraph taken
from the Ottawa Citizen of February
271h, a Conservative paper:
"The request made by Hon. Sydney
Fisher that Col. the Hon. Sam. Hughes
repeat his accusations concerning the
Farnha n camp site outside the House
of Commons would seem to be a just
one. Conclusive proof of the action
ought to be produced by a minister
speaking under the protection of Par-
liament, or else opportunity should be
given to the man outside to take defin-
ite action against his accuser. It may
surely be expected that the Minister
of Militia will not allow this matter
to rest here."
But Col. Hughes has let it rest there,
SPRAYING FRUIT TREES.
The Ontario Bee -keepers' Associatirn
destre us to draw the attention of the
public to the fact that a number of mem-
bers suffer from persons spraying fruit
trees in full bloom their bees being kil-
led from the poison in the spraying
mixture. This practice is prohibited
by an Act of Parliament assented to in
1892 the provisions of which are as fol-
ows: -
J. No person in spraying or sprink-
ling fruit trees during the period within
which such trees are in full bloom shall
use or cause to be used any mixture
containing Paris Green or any other
poisonous substance injurous to bees.
2 -Any yerson contravening the pi.o
visions of this Act shall on summary
conviction thereof before a Justice of
the Peace be subject to a penalty of
not less than $1.00 or more than $5.00
with or without costs of prcsecution
and in case a a fine or a fine and costs
being awarded and of the same not be-
ing upon conviction forth with paid the
Justice may commit the offender to the
common goal there to be imprisoned for
any term not exceeding thirty days un-
less the fine and costs are sooner paid.
The best fruit growers consider spray-
ing during the period of lull bloom as
a useless waste of material and harm-
ful to the setting of the fruit. It is
universally condemned by entomologists
in every part of America. The recom-
mended formulas as sent out by both

ntwitruv,00r.,Apail4th. 1913.
"Some years ago, I was sick in bed,
and thought 1 was going to die. I had
a growth in my stomach, which the
doctors said was a Tumor and they said
that the only thing to do was to go to
the hospital and have the tumor cut
out. I dreaded an operation although
both doctors said it was the only cure. I
said 1 wonld die before being operated ou.
At this time, my mother 111 Alvinston
sent me some "Priiit-a.tives" and
induced me to try them as she had heard
of another woman who had been cured
of a sitnilar growth in the stomach by
taking "Fruit -a -tires".
To please my mother, / began to take
"Fruit -a -fives" with the happy result
that they cured me. I have not been
to see a doctor since and my health is
first class.

time X get a chance and X will be glad to

woman may now be a sufferer front the

the Federal and PrOvincialDepartrnents
of Agriculture state distinctly to spray
apple orchards with Bordeaux and Ar-
senites or Lime Snlphur and Arsenate
of Lead; 1 Just as leaf buds are ex-
panding; 2 -Just before blossoma eller;
3 -Just after blossoms fall; 1-A later
spraying if required.
Bee -keepers and fruit growers are
urged to co-operate in the matter ard
to see that the harmful practice of
spraying during full bloom is stopped. 1
It is hoped that the law will not hnve !
to be applied as most persons are una-
war e of the harm that they do them-
selves as well as the bee -keepers.
The Milkman.
The milkman goes his weary way be-
fore the rising of the sun; he earns a
hundred bones a day, and often takes in
less than one. . While lucky pear le
snore and drouse, and bask in breams
of rare elight, he takes a stool and
milks his cows, about the middle of the
night. If you have milked an old red
cow, humped o'er a big six-gallon pail
and had her swat you on the brow widi

milkman ought to get a plunk for every
pint be sells; he earns his pay in blood
and sweat and sorrow in his bosom

goes, he has to sound his brazen going,
and people wake up from their doze,
and curse him as he goes along. He
has to stagger through the snow when
others stay at home and snore; and
through the rain he has to go, to take
the cowjuice to your door. Through
s:orm and flood and sun and rain, the
milkman go s upon the jump, and all
h:s customers complain, and make all-
usions to his pump. Because one milk -
