(:}, Satan, eianagieg Editor THURSDAY, JUNE 21th, 1915 The Second Canadian Contingent landed safely in France and are uo doubt by this time on the firing line. They will keep up the good name for Canadians which the first contingent so gallantly fought for and made in the battle of Lange - muck. The Ottawa Free Press, the Lib- eral organ at Ottawa, editorally had the following recently: "We ask the readers of the Free Press to read the cold, un- varnished tale told by Generali Bertram yesterday, and when they have done that we believe they will, like ns, take off their hats to Gen. Hughes and Gen. Bertram." And they have said General Hughes was insane. Bryan's Ultimatum Bill Bryan to Kaiser Bill—" You owe this country a good deal, so here is a little note I want you to honor."

SMALL TRACTORS FOR FARMS, Profitable only When Farmer Can Die• penae With Marc. Costly Power. [Prepared byUnited States department of ar Generally speaking, the farm tractor Is a profitable investment only when it enables the farther to dispense ;ivith other forms of power which cost him more. The most usual form of power , ou n fluoro is, of rqurse, horses. Stuce the working life of a horse is on t1u average twice that of a tractor the tna=i chine should displace, if there is to be no other saving, at least double Lard value in horses of its own cost. as m matter of fact, however, this is not the only saving. The small tractors now being constructed wilt, as a rule, take the place of a stationary engine in op- eratiug various term machines. 'Rte difference in price betweeu the two is not great, so that on farms where sta- tionary engines are now used a tractor would not have to displace horses to any great extent in order to make its purchase a profitable investment. The type of tractor which appears to be most in demand at the present time is n small, low priced outfit, capable of pulling two to four plow bottoms and with a belt capacity sufficient to oper- ate any of the ordinary farm machines. Such a tractor is capable of doing prac- tically all the plowing on the average farm, and the number of horses to be kept therefore will depend upon the amount of cultivation, etc., which is required. This fact should be taken into consideration hi planning a crop- ping system. The work of the farm should be laid out so as to make the greatest use of the tractor. Like every machine, the tractor's life should not be prolonged by idleness, but it should be worn out as rapidly as possible by constant use in profitable work. The small tractors that are now be- ing built for medium size farms are of simpler construction than the large ones, which alone were obtainable up to a year and a half or so ago. Most of the new machines have only one drive wheel, one forward speed and one reverse. This eliminates considerable gearing. At the same time it is now possible to hitch a two bottom gang plow directly behind the center of draft of the machine without the tractor traveling on the plowed land. From a practical standpoint, however, the race chanical improvements in the new tractors tu'e not so important to the rarmer as the reduction in price. FRIENDSHIP BEVIVED. The Nation's Business. From influential quarters comes the suggestion to The Financial Post that a coalition Government in Canada would be advantageous at this time; that some of the leading Liberal ex -ministers be in- vited to join the cabinet. We can see no gain in such a change. Sir Robert Borden has colleagues eminent as to ability and who undoubtedly command the respect of Canadians.—From the Financial Post of May 29th. The Battle Of Waterloo. One hundred years ago (June 18th, 1815) Napoleon the First fought his last battle •on the field of Waterloo. The watts in which he was the leading figure had been waged almost continuously for nineteen years and from the time of his coronation as Emperor of the French in 1804 their main object was to extend his dominion over Europe. At thisP resent• time of conflict it would be tactless for Canadians to hold a celebration in honor of the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon after becoming the head of a real Empire had placed all the subordinate thrones avail- able in control of members of his own family. Britain alone con- tinued to rediet his power, and remained the only barrier between him and the achievement of his ambition — universal dominion— which led Nap neon to Waterloo. Now Europe is confronted with another victim of the lust of power --a despot who believes himself to be destined to rule the world by Divine appointment. Without the genius of Napoleon, the Kaiser is far more dangerous. The free nations have again to repeat the work of laying despotism in the duet. Cranbrook Mr. 11.

An instance of the re-establish- ment of acquaintance between men whe had not seen each other for nearly half a century recently occur- red as the result of a little picture of a yacht published in a well-known trade publication. One of the best known of Ontario manufacturers is Mr. J. J. Turner, Sr., of Peterboro, Ont., who makes everything in the way of canvas. Last Jauary he saw a picture of a yacht named the "Niobe," which it was stated was owned by Mr. D. McTaggart, of Brisbane, Australia. The description added that the picture had been taken in Moreton Bay on the Bris- bane River. The beautiful suit oi' sails depicted aroused the expert en- thusiasm of Mr. Turner, who wrote to the owner, Mr. McTaggart, to compliment him on h's outfit. At the same time he informed him that t1: • picture revived memories of Moreton Bay, which he had not seen grace he was there as a young man 42 years ego, when he went out from the motherland to Australia on the ship Ramsay in 1869. What was his surprise recently to receive a letter from Mr. McTaggart in which be said: "Your letter is one of the strangest incidents in my life. You were induced to write to me by the picture of my yacht `Niobe,' and by the memories it awakened of More- ton Bay, and the yacht -like sail you had on it in the old R..msay or Thursday, 21st of January, 1869. after a voyage of just under 95 days 'from pilot to pilot.' . . . No 'doubt you will remember the lad who used to be a good deal with the Captain doing writing for him, working out the ship's position, etc., who usdd tc help in arranging the concerts at which I see by my diary 'the Sail- naker' assisted; who led Father Neptune's party round the deck when crossing the line, making a noise on the bagpipes; who acted as signalman on the voyage and especially on the day we sailed up Moreton 'Bay. Well that lad was Dan McTaggart, now 'owner of the yacht 'Niobe.' " Mr. McTaggart goes on in his let- ter to tell how he went out tc Queensland to join an uncle on a sheep and cattle ranch in Queens- land, and after many years in the interior had settled in Brisbane as a wool, produce and stock merchant in 1892, where he had met with fair ruccess. "For the fourteen years 1 was in the hush I saw practically nothing of boats, but when I went o Maryborougb, Queensland, I took •tp rowing with some success as 1 stroked the champion four oar crew f Queensland with success on sev- eral occasions besides winning a number of races. After coming to Brisbane I took up sailing as a re- ereation, but practically did no rac- ing until after I got the 'Niobe' ready two years ago." Mr. McTaggart goes on to tell of the winnings of his yacht and adds, "Strange to say, I had not seen the picture of the boat. that induced you to write to me until t received your letter." The yachts- man also expressed regret that Teter- boro, Ont., was se far away that he could not get his sails from his old fellow -passenger on the good ship Ramsay.—Toronto Saturday Night.

[Prepared by United States department of agrtoulture.l Preventing the introduction of weed seeds ou the farm, preventing weeds. from going to recd and preventing perennial weet1s from making top growth are the three principles of weed control. In purchasing for planting clover seed, grass seeds or grain many weed seeds as impurities are brought to the farm. lu ne permanent way will the quality of seeds oltered for sale be Ire• proved except by a greater knowledge and alertness on the consumer's Part. Tile first requisite is to know what constitutes good seed; second, to know fairly closely what high grade seed is worth, and, third, to be willing to pay as fair price for it. Laxity on one or more of these points is responsible for most of the farmer's trouble over pour seeds- Cheap seeds are really the most expensive kind that eau be purchased. in improving his knowledge of what constitutes good seeds the farmer will find the advice of the state ngrieul- A DISTINCTIVE PATTERN.

A LAWN FULL OF DANDBLIO:i-ESA1aiPLE OF THE HARM DON); BY WIND BLOWN EBRD. tural experiment stations and the Unit- ed States department of agriculture of great assistance. These institutions gladly test samples of seeds for farm ers free of charge. Some kinds of stock feed are free of weed seeds, while others are not. Cot- tonseed meal, oil mead, brewers' and distillers' grains, corn bran. middlings and the gluten feeds are practically tree of weed seeds, but molasses feeds, oat chop, wheat bran and the mixed feeds are apt to contain .more or less seeds of various weeds. This is es- pecially true of that class of mixed feeds made from mill byproducts,, trot the reason that such byproducts pre partly composed of screenings. These screenings contain weed seeds result ing from the cleaning of grain. Some firms grind or heat the screenings that go into mixed feeds, and iu such cases the percentage of' live weed seeds is very low. Nearly all purchased manure is full of reed seeds. If it is hauled to the farm when fresh many thousands of weed seeds are introduced, so that the farmer is storing up future trouble for himself. As this manure usually has to be removed from the town in the fresh state the only chance to corn post it in order to make the weed seeds rot is after it reaches the farm. It has been found that the weed seeds in ma nure. piles trot quickly under ordinary conditions. so that practically all of them have lost their vitality in two months. Whether the farpler should compost city manure by leaving it in piles after he has drawn it to his farm is questionable. This would re quire extra handling, and unless care is exercised the manure will lose some of its value. Still, in many cases it would undoubtedly pay to do this for the sake of keeping the farm free of weeds. The answer to this question depends largely upon the farmer's cropping system. Thrashing outfits are very likely to bring weed seeds to the farm, It is a wise precaution to see that the sep- arator is well cleaned before it reaches the farm or at least is cleaned in a place where the weed seeds will not be scattered on the fields. Wild mus- tard is very apt to be introduced by this means. Purchased hay and straw are almost sure to contain weed seeds, and as long as a man continues to buy them there is little chance for him to have n weed free farm. The only way to pre- vent seeds getting to the land where hay or straw is purchased to feed stock is to leave the resulting manure In a pile, or, better yet, in a pit, for several months before spreading. Weed seeds nifty get to a farm by be- ing wind blown. This is especially true of chicory, dandelion, broom sedge, Canada thistle al1d such other 'tweeds ns possess n light feathery pappus. Such seeds may be carried a mile or more in a strong wind. The Russian thistle of the western states is perhaps the, greatest wind blown weed pest.

Such weeds as sprung up in the cor- ners, nooks and uncultivated spots about the house and imme- diate premises are ofrensive in more ways than that of being unsightly; they furnish hiding phrces for vermin. Tho most expeditious way to rid the premises of these weeds Is td use the scythe where they can be thus reached. Where rite scythe cannot be utilized the prnniug hook or hoe may be brought into service; or, with gioted hands 10 prevent poison- ing, the weeds may be pulled up d from the extreme nooks and cor- • ners. 9If, after being thus disposed Of, I there is any considerable cover- ing of the weeds ou the ground they sltoul,l be removed from the yard or premises, as they will create a slime to decaying and give out a disagreeable odor.

In- stead of economising and using one mix- ture for the whole rocord, Columbia re- cords are made in THREE LAYERS, rasing the cheaper material in the centre only where it doesn't count in the repro- duction. The best and most, expensive material the world can provide is used on the outer surfaces on which the sound wave or music is engraved. THAT'S WHY COLUMBIA RE- CORDS SOUND BETTER and WEAR LONGER—the same difference in value as there 18 between an ordinary pine and an expensive built up oak door, All Columbia records are double, a dif- ferent selection on each side, And yet these records cost you less money than any others. You are not getting the utmost value Er your money or the best out of your ma- chine no matter of what make—unless you use Columbia records. Of Course, Columbia are Made in Canada. We will gladly play record for you. A 23 .Arrival of the British Troops in France, Part I, Descriptive. Arrival of the British Troops in France, Part 2, Descriptive 85c.
