WE were amused to hear the praise a grocer paid to Gold Dust
ways. Of all the rnany cleaning "stunts", he picked the Gold
4..„,Dust Twins at once. "I find," he chuckled, "that they do
the work of many more than TWO.

"My customers are 'mostly wives, who
have to bargain all their lives; each penny
of the household fund, is counted, and the
wasteful shunned. For instance, take the
cleaning game: Not all the cleansers work
the same. Some seem to merely rub for naught, and some give out,
no sooner bought.
- "With Gold Dust, all my people state, the work of cleaning house
goes great. It does so many clever tasks; it does, in fact, whatever
asked. From kitchen, through and through, to hall; upstairs and
down, the porch and all. Whert`
ever dust and dirt collect, it has a
marvelous effect.
"A 'Home, Sweet Home' is one;
say, wherein the Gold Dust
fellows play. Their work is fun to
them. They start at dawn, with
some magician's art and with the
sinking of the sun the last mean
job of work is done.
"Oh yes, I like to recommend, a product that will prove a friend.
Each Gold Dust customer declares that glass and cutlery and stairs,
and floors and dishes and the rest are cleaned by using it -the best.

THE WIN:GUAM TIMES, JULY 16, 1914
MORE BORDEN WASTE.
The story of the site for a public
building at Canning, Nova Scotia, is a
simple little tale bet it is not within in-
terest to the people of the country. It
is pleasant, too, no doubt, in the ears of
Mr. N. W. Eaton, since it tells a a
Borden Government plan to pay him
$2,000 for something which the country
could obtain for nothing.
When a site for a public building was
sought in Canning, a suitable piece of
ground was offered the Government for
nothing by Sir Frederick Borden, who
is a citizen of the town. But Mr. Baton
had another piece of property which he
wished to sell, and Mr. Eaton was a
staunch friend of the Prensier and had
carried the Conservative banner unsuc-
cessfully in 1908. As a faithful Conser-
vative, Mr. Eaton had to be "looked
after" by the Conservative Government
which gives more attention to the
desires of its friends than it does to the
publie interest. The result was that
the Government decided to purchase the
Eaton land for $2,000 though the other
site was favored by many of the people
of Canning, and would have cost the
country nothing. The Government
plans on giving Mr. Eaton the two thou-
sand while the country is to foot then's-
necessary bill.
It has been found, however, that an-
other strip of land will have to be added
to the Eaton property in order to obtain
a site of sufficient size. For this small-
er bit of ground the Government offered
to pay $1,100 -a sum which its owners
refused to accept on the score that it
was excessive and that they could not
honorably take such a prize for land
worth far less than that. As a matter
of fact, the Government's reason for
offering two or three times what the
land was worth lay, of course, in its de-
sire to make it appear that Mr. Eaton's
property was worth $2,000 though it
has been stated that the real value of
this lot,is not more than $250. . How
much will finally be paid for the addition-
al property remains to be seen, for the
Priee is now to be determined by the
Exchequer Court.
But no matter what the Exchequer
Court may decide, the Government is
taking good care of its friend, Mr
Eaton. The country is to pay $2,000,
plus the amount named by the court
for the second piece of ground, for a
building site when a satisfactory site
could have been obtained free of all
cost to the people if the Premier and
his colleagues had not been so eager to
serve the interests of a party favorite.
The amount involved is illuminating and
damaging as supplying one more bit of
evidence of the manner in which the
public interest is subordinated to party
ends under the Premier who talked so
glibly of economy and high ideals in
political action -when he was in Opposi-
tion.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR1A
FACING THE DIFFICULTY.
(Toronto Star)
The Bowmanville Statesman says
that the result of the election is a sur-
prise to both parties. It proceeds:
"The outcome makes clear the fact
that when an honest and true expres-
sion of the people is wanted on the
question of the abolition of the licensed
bar the vote must be submitted to the
electors free from all political alliances
In this election the vote was, in the
main, cast on political lines, regardless
of the temperance element that fea-
tured the contest. Many better class
Conservatives voted for Liberal -Tem-
perance candidates. and more Liberals
opposed to abolition of the bar voted
for Conservatives. So there you are.
We believe there are enough good Con-
servatives and good Liberals in this
Province to carry prohibition of the re-
tail liquor traffic if the question were
submitted to them free of all political
entanglements."
It would be very difficult to get a vote
free from political entanglement -
that is, an effective vote. We have
had an Ontario plebiscite and a Domin-
ioniplebiscite, and in each case Ontario)
declared itself strongly for prohibition.
But these were mere expressions of
opinion, not binding on Governments or
Legislatures. When the Province was
asked to vote in such a way as really
to abolish the bar, it refused to do so.
And its refusal was emphatic.
As to whether the Province, if it
could throw party polities aside, would
vote for the abolition of the bar, no one
can speak positively. But the indica-
tions are against that view. There
was a certain disturbance of party lines
buf it did not materially effect the pos-
ition of the two parties. If a man will
not vote against his party in order to

TumoR IN
in the enforcement of sects a law. And i
how could you submit the law in such ;
a way that it would be effective, and
yet that the voter would mark his hal.
lot without thinking of wrty politics?
Evidently the Bowinanville States-
man, a staunch advocate of temperance
legislation, is perplexed, and is seeking
a way out of the difficulty, making
every allowance for party feeling.
The vote cast against the abolition of
the bar niust be regarded as a formid-
able obstacle, which it is useless to ig-
nore.

An English egg dealer was recently
arrested and compelled to pay a fine of
3 guineas and costs amounting to £25
for selling Russian eggs in London as
"new baid." Four thousand dozen of
these Russian eggs were lately receiv-
ed at Philadelphia duty free, and we
;wonder what fancy name they went

and guaranteed to keep till kingdom
Eggs in laying competitions should
be judged by weight, not by number.
In nearly every case the more eggs
a hen lays the smaller they are, and
it was proved at a New Zealand
egg contest that of two hens laying
1,450 and 1,300 eggs, respectively, the ;
lien that laid the lesser number equal-
ed the other's eggs in weight, and they
were more profitable.
American breeds are fast growieg in
popularity abroad. Of 7,525 entries at

Orpingtons led with 1,000, the Ameri-
can White Wyamlottes stood second

Last year a Maine hatchery sold over
100,000 day old chicks. To take care
of the trade for this season they have
enlarged to an incubator capacity of
102,300 eggs at one setting. They ex-
pect to run the machines nine times.
'At this rate they expert to hatch about
600,000 chicks. That's going some!
We spent fifty days last winter lec-
turing on poultry among the farmers
of Pennsylvania and found interest in
modern poultry culture increasing ev-
erywhere. It is the same all over the
country.
Those who observe poultry methods
In England often wonder why colony
houses are generally set up across the
center of a field. It is because the
farmer is not allowed to kill foxes.
They are allowed to multiply for the
nobility to hunt, and they eat poultry
at will. The foxes hide in the fence
rows, and if a flock is kept along the
edge of the field they raid the coop.
It is declared by the Washington de-
partment of agriculture that New
Yorkers annually buy 150,000 to 300,-
000 pounds of rock and sand, which is
fed to chickens en route to that city.
This is equal to the genius of the swin-
dlers who sold turkeys to Philadelphi-
tens that were stuffed svith lead slugs.

Careful Herding Means Difference Be.,

1.1101•0 is a right and wrong way even
in the matter of eatiug grass.
On the national forest sheep ranges
two bands of lambs of equal weight,
breeding and general conditions were
inmaled as follows: Otto band was
herded in the usual way, the herder
letting the lambs choose largely where
they should pasture on the ming°. The
other band was herded on portions of
the range where the various grasses
and herbage were developed to just the
right stage of growth. The latter plan
of handling the lambs resulted in a
saving of feed from trampling and
close cropping where the feed was the
most toothsome.
The result was that the lambs made
to feed when and where the herder
desired weighed an average of five
pounds each more at the end of the
season than those allowed to range at
will. On a flock of 4,000 or 5,000 Iambs
the gain from scientific handling of
the lambs would be over $1,000 for the
season.
PURE BRED SWINE.'
Points In Which They Excel Cross-
breds and Scrubs.
A pure bred animal, as we ordinarily'
use the term, is one that comes from
parents that are either registered or
eligible to registration in the herd book
of a particular breed, says E. T. Blac%
In the Rural New Yorker. All the
breeding associations of repute require
that both sire and dam meet the above
requirements before an animal can be
recorded. The pure bred animal is su-
perior to the scrub in many ways, the
most important of which is its gTeater
productive capacity of growth in
pounds for a given time and the pro-
lificacy in size and quality of litters
produced. Not all pure bred aninialS
While the Duroc-Jersey is classed
as a lard hog, it dresses a high per-
centage of meat of excellent qual-
ity. Its color is rea, ana in size it
is larger than either Berkshires or

average CuO pounds and sows 500.
The sows of this breed are prolific,
and the pigs are early maturers.

are superior to the scrub from the
standpoint of production, but the ma-
jority are. Some of our breeds of
swine have been selected and bred
with this perticular end ia view for
upward of a century. ..knd the princi-
pal breeds are old enough to be very
prepotent.
Perhaps the second greatest factor in
favor of the pure bred is the certainty
that excellence will occur. The sire is
generally more than half the herd.
Most breeders pay more heed to the se-
lection of the right kind ofti herd boar
than the selection of the females to
breed to them. More improvement can
Pc brought about by the use of a right
kind of a boar than in any other way.
If you use it boar of quttlity with un-
derstanding you need have no fear of
the results. As a breeder I am often
asked, "Do you advise cross breeds or,
as termed by some, cross breeding'?"
In answer to this all important ques-
tion I will State there is abeolutely
nothing to be gained, but everything to
Pc lost, Therefore my advice is, what-
ever breed of swine yOu keep, maintain
and perpetuate it in its purity.
