Rt.LIOTT, PiinLxsllart Ain Prionilrorc. THURSDAY APRIL 4. 1912. A MOMENTOUS ISSUE. (Toronto Star.) The public scarcely realizes to -day what a momentous issue has been thrust into practical Provincial politics by the announcement of the policy on temperance made by Mr. N, W. Rowell. In three words that policy is "Abolish the Bar." As the enforcement of such a policy would strike a vital blow at the liquor traffic, it follows that the Province is in for a temperance cam- paign of great activity. It will be an unprecedented campaign, for while there have been numerous votes, in- cluding plebiscites and referendums, on the temperance issue, no political party leader has ever gone to the coun- try on a clear-cut radical program, such as has been adopted by Mr. Row- ell. Whatever may happen the temper- ance forces in their decision to unite or divide on Mr. Rowell's policy, there will be no question of the attitude of the liquor traffic. It can be depended upon to put up as strenuous a cam- paign as has ever been seen in On- tario. Comment is heard to -day on the fact that Mr. Rowell has not been precipi- tate in his decision. All his life the leader of the Liberal party has been known for his enthusiasm in all causes ,of social reform, and when he assumed the leadership of the Liberal party some surprise was professed that he .slid not immediately announce a radi- ' cal platform. Mr. Rowell preferred to wait to consult his colleagues in the Legislature. It is known, too, that in addition to the members, he has taken counsel with representative men of the party and temperance workers throughout the Province. These precautions were taken to find out how far the party would go in supporting him in the policy which his own private convic- tions marked out as the path he was to take. The result has been that the vast preponderance of opinion both in the House and out of it has expressed it- self in favor of advanced policy. From a political viewpoint a few instances have been given of where the party might suffer, but on the whole these instances have been surprisingly few. There are some Liberals, too, who would be glad to see the bar abolished but who have doubts, as to whether it can be done. But on the whole it may be said that there is a large volume of opinion behind Mr. Rowells' declara- tion of policy. There is comment, too, on the fact that no attempt has been made to get a catch decision from the Province, In the ordinary course of events there will not be a Provincial election for four, years. Thore is ample time to discuss the issue on which every elec- tor will have to get down to rock bot- tom. THE NATIONAL EXPENDITURES. London Advertiser. The estimates of national expendi- ture for the ensuing fiscal year will silence the cry of extravagance raised against the Laurier Government. This table shows the record for the past decade, with the estimated expenditure for next year: 1903 .$ 51,691,903 1904 5G,612,833 1905 ... , 63,319,683 1906 . 67,240,641 1997 (nine months) . 51,642,161 1908 76,641,452 1909 81,064,232 1910 79,411,747 1911 87,774,198 A WEAK ACHING BACK Caused Her Much Misery. Mrs. W. I2. Hodge, Fielding. Sask., writes: --"A few lines highly recommend- ing Doan's Kidney Pills.

The fiscal year 1912, ending on the 31st of this month, is the last for which the late Government can be held accountable. Mr." White's estimate of $117,981,831 on consolidated fund account for the ensuing year is an increase of nearly; $21,000,000 over the present fiscal year, but this is not all. He asks for $51,- 407,885 on capital account, against an expenditure of $39,000,000 last year in the same class. Here then is an aggre- gate estimated expenditure of $169,- 389,716 for the year ending March 31, j 1913, compared with an aggregate ex- penditure of $136,000,00) in the year ending this month, an increase of $31,- 000,000. It is probable that not all the estimated expenditure will be actually paid out, but at the best there will be a considerable increase over preceding years. The expenditures must grow i with the country, The Liberal Govern- ment had to keep pace with national development. But it was constantly reproached as a spendthrift by the very men who in six months of office sanc- tion the largest budget in Canada's history. Let Trouble Alone. About the sanest motto, methinks that ever grew, is "Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you," We worry o'er the future, we worry o'er the past, and worry is the harvest of all our pains at last; calamities that threaten are lighter than they seem, and all our dark forebodings are but a winter dream. And no one loves the fellow who's always in a stew, so never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. How foolish, how wrong-headed are all the human crowd! For when the sky is sunny they're searching for a cloud; and when the crops are thriving they murmur and complain; they fear there'll be too little or else too much of rain; and when their health is buoyant they pore o'er almanacs until they're sure they suffer from bunions on theirbacks; and so their useless worries just keep them sick and blue -oh, never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you! Of course the world has troubles and some of them will come and smite you in the midriff and put you out of plumb; but don't go forth to meet them and fold them to your breast, but let them come and seek you, then knock them galley west. Oh, this old world is pleasant, the skies are bright and blue, so never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you! Walt Mason. "My little son had a very severe cold. I was recommended to try Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy, and before small bottle was finished he was as well as ever," writes Mrs. H. Silks, 29 Dowling Street, Sydney, Aus- tralia. This remedy is for sale by all 1 dealers. THE ONLY SON. O bitter wind toward the sunset blowing, What of the dales to -night?

In the great window as the day was dwindling I saw anold man stand; His head was proudly held and his eyes kindling, But the list shook in his hand. 0, wind of twilight, was there no word uttereed, No sound of joy or wail? "A great fight and a good death," he muttered; "Trust Him, He would not fail." What of the chamber dark where she was lying, For whom all life is done? "Within heart she rocks a dead child, crying: 'My son, my little son.' " As Friend To Friend. Phairson McPherson was a Scotsman Also he was a coal merchant. Also he was love. His charmer was a sensible lassie and she knew him to be the riehest man in town. But she wanted to be quite sure that he had come by his money honest- ly before she decided to marry him. "Hoo is it that ye quote the lowest prices in the toon, and make reductions on them for yer freens, and yet ye make such enormous profits?" she asked. "Weel, it's this way," explained Phairson MacPherson, in an undertone. "And ye'II no be tellun' onyone about it, will ye?

Apply to Miss Mary Ritchie, Centre Street Mr. Charles McGregor, of Hullett, on the Alma road, has sold his prize team of heavy draught horses to Mc- Lean Erothers, of Pilot Mound, Mani- toba, for $750. ,They weighed 3,300 pounds, and as the price indicates, they were an exceptionally fine team. Mr, John Rapson of Hullett also sold to the same buyers a three-year-old colt for $300. It is more than evident that the agi. tation for Single Tax is taking a hold on the people of Ontario and Saturday Night gives a most favourable instltnce in its support when it says: -Assessed at $48,000, sells at $225,000. Vacant land at Bay and Front streets said to be canging hands." The above is the caption in one of the Toronto papers relative to a real estate deal in the burned district. I would like to call tht attention of Premier Whitney to this specific Cas a and respectfully ask of the Premier if he thinks the owners of this vacant land had been paying their just and proper share toward the upkeep Of the cenununity7 I would like to enquire if it he likely that this land would have been held vaeant eight ,years or since the fite at 1904, h*d it been taxed at anything approximating its present selling rralue. I It is a common but pernicious prac- tice, says Farm, Stock and Home, to fertilize the young trees of an orchard heavily with yard or stable manure. This form of fertilizer is heavy in nit- rogen, and forces the tree ahead very fast in vegetative growth. The roots, having plenty of food readily available, are not encouraged to spread in pro- portion to the tree growth, with the result that later, when food is not so readily available, the root system is too small to properly nourish the tree and mature a crop of fruit.

'There however, n constantly increasing de- mand for leaner pork, wlltes U. istorgau In Country Gentleman; Twen- ty years ago the bacon of the ordinary market was a side from two and a half to three and a half inches thick, with scarcely a trace of lean, wbile now the market demands a side sbowipg one- third to one -bale lean, and the whole must be firm and of fine quality. The matter of quality bas been receiving considerable attention from breeders duriug the past few years. Since the price of feeds has steadily advanced the feeder has found it profitable to use a greater variety, and a inrush bet- ter quality of purl: bas resulted. Years ago, when corn Was worth' less than half its present price, it eonatitnted practically the sole grain ration for the The popularity of the Large York- shire is due to his superior bacon qualities. He Is one of the oldest breeds of swine of which we have any record, mention having been made or him as early as 1789. At that period he was a large, white, coarse, leggy and narrow backed hog with heavy overhanging ears. The breed was much improved early In the nineteenth century by cross- ing with the Small Yorkshire, sup- posed to have been developed from the small Chinese hog. It is prob- able that the Berkshire had some- thing to do with the improvement to the Large Yorkshire at this early period. The Yorkshire boar shown Is the type to head a bacon herd. hog. The result of such feeding was a carcass containing a high percentage of fat and very little leau or edible meat, which did not suit an bacon trade. The English market demands a su- perior quality of bacon. which sells at a price considerably higher thau that in the United States. England origi- nated the two breeds that are purely bacon bogs. They were developed un- der conditions that necessitated the feeding of a ration consisting of grains high iu protein. To this fact is due the superior quality of the bacon. Professor C. S. Plumb writes: "The general characteristics of the bacon pig as compared with the so called lard hog are as follows: hack not broad, head somewhat long, side long and deep, a smooth shoulder, lighter ham and somewhat longer leg. The general flesh covering is much less fat tlinu the lard type." Tlie habit of put- ting on lean rather than fat has be- come well fixed in the bacon breeds, nucl when crossed with other breeds they transmit this quality in a re- markable degree, The bacon from crosses with bacon type boars is very often as good as that from the pure bred bacon bogs. Of the two leading breeds of bacon hogs the large Yorkshire is ,easily the more popular, although the amworth finds favor in certain localities, both in England and Canada. The latter produces a large amount of export ba- con, and the marttet for live hogs of the bacon type is usually at least a dollar a hundred pounds higher there than in the United States. Denmark, Ireland and Canada are at present producing the greater part of the ex- port bacon used in England and Scot- land, but in spite of this inviting mar- ket the Mississippi valley es yet pre- fers to produce the earlier maturing, easier fattened and thicker fleshed hog of the lard type. The production of a greater number of beton bogs, how- ever, is bound to follow the increasing demand both at home and abroad for a better grade of bacon and barns.' A general campaign of education on the merits of bacon has been started by nettle of the packers. Various Swine Broads,. The white breeds of swine are the- Yorkshire, heYorkshire, 0. 1.
