ELLIOTT, Punmani a mut PROPLETOtt THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1913. INSIONEW BOTCHED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. (Owen Sound Advertiser.) Workmen's compensation is of inter- est to the workin;man; tax reform is of interest to the property owner; abolition of the bar is o interest to the moral re- former; the Prou Ifoot charges are of interest to all honest men; good roads are of interest to ti:e farmer; new Ont- ario development is of interest to miners and lumbermen and hydro -electric is of i interest to the manufacturer; but there is one other question of vital importance, a question in which the workingman. the property own 'r, the ,poral reform- er, the honest pian, the farmer, the the lumberman and the m•inutacturer all have interest, with which they are all concerned, on which they all depend for their very living and the life of their trades and works and which effects more people in the Province than any other question, namely, education. All classes of men and men in all localities and conditions are dependent on educa- tion to a greater extent than anything. Many make their livings and some their fortunes out of the education they pos- ess but a little depend on Lhose who have more, for tneir livings. Conse- quently when our educational system is botched and run into a slip -shod, slithery sort of way more people are effected. If the Whitney Administrat- ion have botched anything they have botched their work in this department. papers that are usually numbered among the jingos, the list of the "Mem- bers of Council includes the names of such sane Liberal newspaper editors as Robert Donald of the London Daily Chronicle, l o c P. Scort of the Manches- ter Guardian, J. A. Spender of the the London Westminster G:;z.'tte. and Ernest Parke of the London Star. In view of the latter, the June cir- cular issued by the Union and distribut- ed throughout the Empire contains an amazing statement. Referring to the fact that Mr. J. S. Brierley has dispos- ed of a large interest in the Montreal Herald, of which he was the principal owner, the circular says: "While Lib- erul in politics, the Herald's policy has been on the side of the British connec- tion." This in allusion to the contro- versy over the Navy Bill. The implication is, of course, that all other Canadian Liberal newspapers have been working against "British 'connection." Such an implication is highly absurd and gross libel. With the exception of the Montreal Herald - whose attitude on the Navy question, it has been strongly suspected, was in- fluenced to a considerable extent by the changes in ownership above referred to all the Liberal newspapers of Can- ada have been opposed to the Borden Navy Bill. The majority of them com- menced opposition immediately follow- ing the announcement of his plan by IPremier Borden. It was the Liberal newspapers that led the attack. They did not wait for a pronouncement by the Liberal leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. To assert that the editors of papers like the Toronto Globe, the Toronto Star, the London Advertiser, the Win- nipeg Free Press, the Regina Leader, the Vancouver Sun, the Halifax Chron- , icle, and the Ottawa Free Press were actuated by a desire in any way to weaken the ties of British connection is ridiculous? They are all strong British- ers in the broadest way. They one and all fought the Borden policy of direct cash contribution because they had the conviction that' direct contribution to the Admiralty would sooner or later lead to friction and thus weaken the ties that bind Canada to the Motherland. Only extreme partisans have dared to characterize these editors or the leaders of the Liberal party as separa- tists. Everybody who knows them or had any idea of their high reputation has scouted the suggestion. It is most unfortunate that the man responsible for the monthly circular of the Empire Press Union is not better informed upon the subject of such vital importance to this Dominion, and it is to be hoped that those members of the Council in England who have enthusias- tically indorsed and approved the atti- tude of Canadian Liberal newspapers will see to it that such misinformation does not again goout to the newspapers of the Empire under their names. WHAT AUSTRALIA IS DOING. [Montreal Witness] The Australian navy, consisting of the battleship cruisers, and flotilla of torpedo boats, is to be complete by the end of next month. The King is going to Portsmouth to spend the parting of its completing unit, and the Government of Australia has appointed a British rear -admiral to the newly -constructed royal Australian navy. Surely this news will make half the people of Can- ada rise up and cry traitor! disloyal;_ separatist! and all the other bad names they can think of. In these days of the German peril, what right has Aus- tralia to have a fleet that is not station- ed in the North Sea for the protection of Great Britain? What right has she to any fleet of her own under her own flag with its Southern Cross? It is the suggestion of a counterpart to Austra- lia's action in building a navy that is today bringing down all these epithets on the heads of Canadian Liberals by the Conservatives. The continual para- ding of the flag and of ultra loyality by one party in Canada, with the impublic- ation that the other party is less loyal, and bringing this into heated partisan issues, is forcing the people who have always.eonsidered themselves sincef'ely loyal to lose their loyality on account of their dislike for the way the flag and word "loyality" are being used and paraded with no other object than to secure political advantage. There is no doubt that Australia is loyal, and that she sees in an Australian fleet the best means of preserving the Empire. Can- adian Liberals are also loyal to the Empire. The whole difference on the navy question is to decide which of the two proposed courses is best for Can- ada, most likely to develop patriotism, most efficient, and least likely to bring about future friction.

Clegg is shipping hay to the Old Country via New York. The brickwork of Dr. Macdonald's new block has been commenced. Mrs. J. B. Ferguson goes to Toronto this week to spend a few weeks with one of the leading artists of that city, after which she will take a trip up through Muskoka on a sketching tour. Mr. P. S. Linklater is building an addi- tion to his residence on Alice Street. During the week a number of streets in town have been greatly improved by having the weeds and thistles on the sides cut down and removed. On Saturday last, the junior football club of Listowel, drove over to Wingham to try conclusions with a junior club of this town. The game was a hotly con- tested one, and resulted in favour of the Listowel boys by a score of five goals to none. Messrs. John'Murray and Thos. Car- ruthers announce by hills that they are running the Wingham Foundary and are prepared to do all kinds of repairing as usual. Mr. Thos. Bell has just put in a heat- er and filter in his factory. For some time they have been bothered with sand getting into the boiler, and with the heater and filter will not occur again. - A new side -walk is being laid on Jose- phine street, and it is a decided improve. ment.

Don't be in a hurry. do not throw a fit; all your fume and flurry do not help a bit. Men who really do things, gift- ed men and skilled, men who carve and hew things, men who plan and build, do not tear their garments as they put up hay; that's for foolish varmints - that's the senseless way. Mighty men are never fussing as they toil; for your best endeavor that will surely spoil; be as bright and breezy as a meadow lark; learn to take it easy, sidestep cares that cark. As we slowly travel up life's dreary mount. toiling, scratching gravel, make each motion count. Every step should take us nearer to the top; it will only break us if we pause to yawp; if we pause to bluster, if we pause to fret, getting in a fluster and a foolish sweat. Thus the foolish farer thinks the journey sad; finds the hill a terror and the walking bad; on his hands and knees he makes the last few laps; if he'd take it easy like the other chaps, he would reach the summit to the victor's song; like the rest, he'd hum it, as he jogged along. WALT. MASON. THE USES OF ADVERSITY. Now, niy co -mates and brothers in exile, Hath not old custom made this life more sweet Than that of painted pomp? Are not these words More free from peril than the envious court? Here feel we but the penality of Adam, The season's difference, as, the icy fang And churlish chiding of the winter's wind. Which. when it bites and blows upon my body, Even till I shrink with cold, I smile, and say, "This is no flattery; these are coun- sellors That feelingly persuade me what I am." Sweet are the uses of adversity: Which, like the toad, ugly and venom - outs, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head; Aad this our life from exempt fpub- he haunt, p p Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in, atones, and good in every. thing.

An Abundance of Green Feed Cheapens Pork Production. If you are not fortunate enough to own a patch of several acres fenced with good woven wire you may stilt plan to furnish your hogs an abun- dance of cut feed and roots during the season of short grain supply. writes a Kansas hog raiser in the Auieriean Ag- riculturist. At this tune you have a number of pigs, if the sows were bred for spring furrow, and in no other way run you bastlin their growth so cheap- ly and satisfactorily as by providing plenty of succulent feed during the first six months of their growth. Rape, green oats, rye. alfalfa and clover are among the first available for cutting and feeding green. Sorghum does not grow readily until settled warm weath- er: hence. although it is very valuable later on, it will not do to depend on early in the season. One of my neighbors who always made good in the hog business. kept his bogs in a dry lot. This plan. how- ever, is not to he recommended it there is any way to prevent It, as It necessitates extra labor at a time when labor is at a premium in other tines of farm work. This man al- ways planted an acre or two, depend- ing on the number of hogs he kept, In sweet corn. This he began to feed, stalk and all. when the grain began to set When this was all gone he usu- ally had some early corn ripening. Early in the summer a small patch of oats furnished succulent feed until the oats crop was ready to harvest, and by that time sorghum was ready to fill in the gap between the oats and sweet corn. The late spring of 1912. with its cold rains and clammy soil, was not condu- cive to eveu sprouting of corn and Kafir; Bence the sweet corn crop on my farm was cut short, and 1 did not have much sweet corn with which to supplement my pasture during the dry season. 1 had, however: a good sized patch of mangels intended for winter feedigg, and 1 used these instead. It seems strange• that farmers, as a rule, do net seem to realize the value of these roots as stock feed. For six or seven years 1 have raised them for hogs, poultry and cows. and each sea- son finds roe wishing 1 had planted more. The main objection to them is the amount of work required in raising the crop. but they are such heavy yielders n small plot produces a large amount of rich feed: Milking Capacity •f Sow*. The difference in the milking capaci- ty of .different sows is as wide as in cows. as would readily be recognized if sows were to the habit o1" being milked as cows are. When the milk - Ing is done in an experimental' way the difference becotne's matiifeet'i Accord- ing to . the .Wisconsin eeperiment- sta- tion, the average milk yield' from ma- ture sows; rabifOS from 44' pounds to 5.8 pounds daily, but In experiments made with four sows the highest yield made intone day was 8,7 pound's; while the lowest' was 1.2 pounds, 'these fig- ures indicate how wide mayc, be the difierenee lit the-miftt Yield of different sows. The number of pounds of milk given, however, does not afford ,a fair Idea of the work the sow actually does, tor• -the milk is about twice as rich as that of the ordinary cow.
