Di„.LIOTT, PUBLISHER ER AND PROPIETOIt THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1913 . PICNIC AT ERIN. Two important new points were brought out by William Proudfoot, K. C., M.P.P.,in his speech at the Liber- al picnic in Erin on June 13. In the first place, he stated that Sir James' Whitney and Hon. W. J. Hanna, through their counsel had by means of a third party informed George G. Taylor of his 1 violation of the criminal code in paying' over the $5'0 to Hun. W. J. Hanna, and l that he could refuse to give evidence' on the ground that it would incriminate I him. They knew that the same thing 1 applied to Hon. W. J. Hanna who re- ceived the money. Mr. Proudfoot went further and stated that the counsel for the Prime Minister and the Provincial Secretary had been informed that Mr. Taylor declined to take the shelter pointed out to him and that if directed by the Committe he would tell the whole truth. "Was that the reason," asked Mr. Proudfoot, "why you decided that the evidence should not be admitted?" In the second place, Mr. Proudfoot made a definite statement in regard to the coal tenders. He declared that he had evidence of the actual manipulating of coal tenders whereby the Province loot between $1500 and $1600. At this same meeting Dr. McQueen, Liberal member in the Legislature for North Wentworth, criticised the Educ- ation Department particularly on the ground of over -centralization and the Department of Agriculture for ineffi- ciency. Udney Richardson, M.P.P., for East Wellington, complained of the very serious impairment of the Provincial finances under the Whitney Government and contented that the present admin- istration was not only spending too much, but worse than that, was spending the money foolishly in many cases and not securing efficiency in return. THE SECRET or ' THE DOMINION BANK EDITORIAL NOTES Money is uncommonly hard to get, and many : re asking what has become of it. No one has eaten it, or burnt it, and there is just as much money as there was a year ago. Why, then, is it so very tight? The present difficulty is not an actual scarcity of money. There is plenty of money for all business pur- poses. The trouble is that people had been doing business on credit on very narrow margins, counting on continued expansion and an unfailing market. -Montreal Witness. The annual report on Ontario highway improvement is to hand and shows the total expenditure since the passing of the Highways Improvement Act in 1901 to 1911 inclusive to be; Road construc- tion, $2,221,991.37; permanent bridges, $690,587.02; machinery, plant and equip- ment, $185,689.54; county grants to townships, towns and villages, $131,- 496.10;total roads purchased, $172,827.- 98, making a total of $3,402,603.01, of which the Government paid one-third or $1,134,200.67 and the counties the balance, 332,208,401.34. General satisfaction is expressed at the candidacy of Mr. John McQuaker, who has been nominated by the Liber- als to contest the North Grey seat for the local House made vacant by the re- signation of Hon. A. G. MacKay. The nomination meeting was the scene of very real enthusiasm and it is confident- ly expected that Mr. McQuaker will hold the seat in the Liberal interests. He is a well known temperance man and with him as candidate the Abolish the Bar policy is sure to play an important part. Mr. McQuaker is a commissioned merchant in Owen Sound and also the owner of the creamery. A ship was launched at Collingwood the other day which was 600 feet long and of 58 feet beam. Yet Mr. Churchill tells us that Canada cannot build ships, even light cruisers and torpedo boats, and Mr. Borden believes, or affects to believe, this rank industrial heresy, and insists on sending out of Canada, to be spent out of Canada, the immense sum of 35 millions. If we can build ships like the above at Collingwood and Port Arthur, in the heart of the continent, a thousand miles from the tide water, what could not be done on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, where at both there is coal and iron w i thin easy distance and in abundance? Mr. Churchill is not to blame for his poor opinion of Canada, but what is to be said of Mr. Borden, who ought to know better? -Stratford Beacon. WHAT THE SENATE HAS DONE. During the Session of Parliament just ended the Senate has proved its use- fulness more than ever before. While fulminating against the Upper Chamber, Mr. Borden has gone to extraordinary pains to give it opportunity to show how it can protect the people from the ag- gressions of Toryism. This is what the Senate did: It prevented the Borden government from sending a naval call loan of $35,000,000 to Great Britain without se- curing authority therefor from the people. It prevented the Borden Government from securing to itself $1,250,000 to be used as electioneering funds under the guise of Aid to Highways, and put the government in the position of refusing to grant this money because it could not handle it itself. It prevented the Government from arrogating to itself the power to build railways from 25 to 100 miles in length without a vote of the money by Parlia- ment. Had the government secured this p:iwer it could have expended many milii°'Ee every year without being sub- ject to control of the people by their parliamentary representatives. W hat that would mean was shown at the Richelieu by-election, when the govern- ment tried to bribe the whole constitu- ency with a promise of a railway if it voted right. WORK OF EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.

Scott & Sonne, Tcronto, Ont. 13-25 GOOD HEALTH,I Keep the Blood Rich and Pure With Or. Williams' Pink Pills The condition of the blood makes all the difference between health and sick- ness. Impure blood and strong healthy nerves and muscles never go together. If the blood is thin every part of the body becomes weak. The stomach fails in strength and the appetite becomes poor. The body does not obtain enough nourishment from the food, and soon the nerves begin to complain and the person becomes irritable, despondent, worn out and nervous. For a time there may be no actual sickness, only a run-down weak condition, but there is no defence against disease and from such a condition spring disorders such as anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia, and even paralysis itself. Pen le with impure, thin blood should take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Every dose helps to make new rich blood, and new blood means health and strength. They stop the progress of disease, and red cheeks, good appe- tite, new strength, declare the general improvement in the health. Here is an example. Miss Ellen Maude McQuo- dale, Harriston, Ont., says: "I feel it my duty to add my voice to the many now recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. For years I was a sufferer with backaches, rheumatism and nervousness. I was so bad at times that I was confin- ed to my bed. I felt sleepy and heavy after my meals, and had flashes' of light before my eyes, and a difficulty in collecting my thoughts. After using several remedies without benefit I began using Dr, Williams' Pink Pills and used ten or twelve boxes in all. They gave me the'best health 1 have enjoyed for years, and I have not since had the least return of the trouble." You can get these Pills from any deal- er in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. For more than a quarter of a century the Dominion Experimental Farms have been carrying on experiments to find out the best kinds of crops and animals and the best ways of handling them for profit. This has been going on not only at the Central farm at Ottawa but also in the Maritime provinces, the Prairie provinces and in British Columbia. The benefits that have resulted to the Can- adian farmer from this work are un- doubtedly very great but still thousands of earnest men are not receiving the full advantage of what is being done for them. Perhaps many do not receive the reports and bulletins containing the imformation while others receive these publications regularly but do not find the time to study out the lessons from them. In order to help especially this class of busy men and women there has been issued by, direction of the Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, a special bulletin containing the out- standing conclusions that have been reached during the 25 years that the Experimental Farm were under the directorship of Dr. Wm. Saunders, re- cently retired. This review which has been prepared by Mr. J. B. Spencer, B.S.A., Editor of the Publications Branch, tells of les- sons that have been learned concerning fertilizers, cereals, fodder crops, farm field work, live stock, horticulture, ar- boriculture, chemistry, poultry, weeds and plant pests. In addition many of the recent developments of the farm system are enumerated. It is shown that not only have the farms and sta- tions been increased in recent years to fourteen but great advancement is being made in all of the olden farms. This review which is tastefully gotten up has been issued for free distribution by the Publications Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. A TIME SAVER. SIR EDMUND B.

EVANS, Manager. I4IFAMMIMMIMMEMMINIMM ZIN W FnITEC BU RC H. Methodists are rejoicing over the fact that the parsonage is to be occupied o&ice more. Rev. Mr. Roosevelt is the new pastor. He is no relation to the well-known Teddy. We hear a good lady and seven children will grace the home. Our Presbyterian minister and wife have three children, so our village has been favored. We hope to enjoy a garden party in Whitechurch this season. We hear that Mr. Bassett will preach his farewell sermon in the Methodist Church next Sunday evening and in- tends going to college after the holidays. We are complaining too much about dry weather and believe me there are some people with high light land and not growing any corn. Government Fears Publicity, ' When the Donaldson Homestead case was discussed in Parliament and it was shown that a friend of the government had secured a $375,000 "homestead" for $10, Hon. Mr. Oliver tried to get all the documents in the case. He was denied some of the most incriminating. He tried persistently to get them; was as often promised them by Hon. Mr. Rog- ers. Parliament prorogued without these documents ever being produced Since the opening of the session leaders of the Opposition have been trying to get returns showing how many thous- ands of government servants have been dismissed to make room for Conserva- tives. The only satisfaction they could get was statements that so wholesale hadlbeen the executions that it would take months to prepare the returns. Hon. Mr. Rogers is making a success of introducing Manitoba methods to Otta- wa, but not the kind of success which is likely to appeal to the people when- ever the coalition government dares to face them. The favorable weather of June is bringing some good records of milk pro- duced by cows trained to the business by far sighted owners. Grade cows yielding as much as 2,300 pounds of milk and 65 pounds of fat in thirty days are well worth keeping as many factory patrons can testify. On the other hand some poor records were made during May in several dis- tricts, not only in yields of milk but in many instances in peculiarly low per- centage of fat; even less than two per cent. That is one good reason wby it pays farmers to take up cow testing, for with the tests ranging, as they fre- quently do in the same herd from 2.1 to 4.3 with common grade cows giving almost the same weight of milk and handled under similar conditions, there is evidently plenty of room for consid- erably difference in return. As a matter of fact, cow testing was never more needed than at the present time whet farmers are complaining that it is hard to get good hired help. The time spent in taking si few weights and samples is saved over and over again, a hundred times over, when it proves to a man that he saves time by milkiog profitable cows only. Why waste pre- cious time month after month, year after year, on cows that test only two per cent. of fat? C.F.W. + Rev. George A.

LIVE STOOK 11tARKETS Toronto, June 16 -There was some fairly active trade at the Western Cattle Market this morning, and a good demand soon absorbed the somewhat light supply on the market. Over a hundred head of cattle received on the market were selling firm at from $5.50 to $6.75, while one load of 1,1550 -Ib. butchers sold at $6.85. Medium to good stockers cattle were selling at $5.50 per cwt. About half a hundred sheep and lambs were all sold by Dunn & Levack. Sheep ranged $5 to $6 per cwt., while lambs sold at from $5 to $7 apiece. There were but few calves on the market and these were of fairly good grade and sold at about $$ per cwt. Hogs were a little easier than last week and were quoted at $9.50 f.o.b., $9.85 fed and watered, and 10.10 weighed off cars. Heavy fat hogs of over 200 lbs. in weight will sell at 50c per cwt. less. The receipts at the yards were seven cars, containing 136 head of cattle, 57 sheep and lambs, 23 hogs and 14 calves.

Young Ontario farmers who are thinking of going West should read this, from The Qu'Appelle Progress: "The money stringency has had the effect of reducing the amount of building being done in many parts of the West. It has also forced the farmers to be econ- omical, and the result is that the labor market is glutted. There are more men than positions to fill at present, and a drop in wages may be looked for for a time at least. As the year ad- vances no doubt the demand for help will increase, but even then it is doubt- ful if wages will go up as high as last year. With a good crop, more stock and lower wages, farmers will be in much better position at the end of the season than they were in 1912." Capital Paid Up $3,000,000. Reserve $3,750,000.
