cruwhed 10u6 rare ago on Friday,
a French „.r me hurled itself
against the f4.. rename before+ Lens

Canada's Natal Day
It's only a email bit of bunting,
It'd only an old colored rag,
Yet thousands have died for its honor
And shed their best blood for the flag,
We as. Canadians must feel a
great pride in our hearts, when we
celebrate or hold our Union Jack
on this, Canada's National birth-
day, July 1st. The flag that means
so munh to those brave lads who
are lasing down their lives in it•+
honor, They have kept the name
of Canada and the honor or our
grand Union Jack unspotted in the
eyes of the other nations of the
world. The war which they fight
at the present time is one of honor
and self respect. When Germany
trampled on brave little Belgium
and would have wiped her off the
map, .Bris in and Britain's fair child
Canada soon stretched out a detl.inl
ing hand to Germany.
Dominion Dssy this day year i.
not only an anniversary of Confed-
eration, but is a day to show our
pride in Canada, the Dominion
which is possibly, the most talked
of, and the most honored nation in
the world to -day. How bravely
the Canadian soldiers fought in
that bloody battle of Lengemarck
will be told by many firesides, the
world over, in the years that are to
come.
Let us everyone honor Canada
on Dominion Day of this year by
decorating our homes and business
places with the Union Jack.
We hoist it to show our devotion
To our King, our country and laws;
I+.', the outward and visible emblem
Of advancement and Liberty's cause.
Dr. H. L. Collins, formerly of
Kinloss, but now in Shorncliffe,
Eng., with a Medical unit of the
overseas Expeditionary Force, writ-
ing to a friend in Kincardine says.
"When I left Canada there
was a lot of talk about bad shotes.
I have been all over this camp
and I have talked to hundreds
of soldiers and they want the
Canadian shoe. Three coats of
oil and they are the real thing.
Our boys cannot wear the heavy
Kitchener shoes. They all blister
their heels and put them on the
sick list. Every morning there
are five or six men disabled from
these ill-fitting shoes."

CORN THAT BEATS FROST,
This Can 13e Grown In the Northwest-
ern Wheat Regions.
After nearly twenty years or work
by the Agricultural college of Wash-
iugtou and co-operating farmers two
varieties of cora adapted to the rigor-
ous climate of the 1'ticifle northwest
are making strong blds for a pernttt-
nent place in the farming of those
states whose climate is ebarncterizcd
by occasional late spring frosts, cool
nights, even in midsummer, and fairly
early fall frosts, writes J, L. Ashlock
in the Country Geutteman. The prob-
lem of western and northern corn
growers, whose exclusive interest till
lately has been in wheat, has been to
find or develop a type of corn that will
stand the late spring frost and the cool
midsummer uigbts and ripen up ahead
of the fall frosts.
The two new varieties of corn are
distinct types, known in the work of
the Agricultural college as Thayer Yel-
low Dent and Winches White Dent.
Oddly enough, authentic facts relative
to their introduction into the north-
west cannot be determined. Nearly
twenty years ago O. II. Thayer, now
dead, and his neighbor, W. V. Windt's,
who is still living, were growing
A PLAIN DUTY
The Winnipeg Telegraoa (Conserva-
tive) published a special edition largely
devoted to the evidence before the
Royal Commission and editorially. un-
der the heading "A Plain Duty," had
the following:
"If the evidence given before the
Royal Commieeion in Minneopolie e
true a grievous outrage has been per-
petrated against the people of Mani-
toba.
"The evidence discloses that there
was aconspiracy .o rob the people of
this province of a large sum of money
in connection with the construction of
the new Parliament Buildings in Win-
nipeg.
"The evidence shows, furthermore,
that the conspiracy was entered into
to shield from discovery and keep
from prosecution and punishment
+hose concerned in dishonest transac•
,ions.
"There is but one duty confronting
those sworn with the administration
of law in this Province.
"That is to prosecute every individ-
ual implicated in this outrage upon
the people with the utmost rigour of
the law.
"There should be no attempt to
palliate the crime; no partiality shown
to any of the wrongdoers; no attempt
to shield anyone.
"Promise of immunity based on no
matter what consideration and politi-
cal deals, if there be any such. should
be alike disregarded, no matter how
unpleasant the eonsrquences nor how
far-reaching the effect.

business affiliations, demand a clean -
The Vote in Perth.
Perth County has given its ap-
proval to the Canada Temperance
Act by a majority of about 200 and
another big area of completely
".dry" territory is added in West-
ern Ontario.
Bome objection bas been raised
against the Canada Temperance
Act in the past on the ground that
it cannot be enforced as the pro-
vinoial local option law is enforced.
However, the counties that have
already tried the Canada Temper-
ance Act have found Mr. Hanna's
department quite as zealous ih its
efforts to enforce one measure as
the other. The new license com-
mission, moreover, now takes over-
sight of counties where the Canada
Temperance Ad is in force, just as
it hoes of municipalities where loc-
al option prevails. The counties
are oo-operating with the commiss-
ion by bearing a share of the cost
of special inspectors and the result
of this will, it is expected, be satis-
factory.
In the'voting in Perth it is nottc-
able that all the towns gave major -
Mal for the act. In fact, in a large

TENDERS FOR PULPWOOD
LIMIT.
Comparative Returns When sold as
Hay and When Grazed by ]-loge•
The Arizona experiment station fig•
tires the comparative return when al-
falfa is sold as bay olid when grazed
by hogs. These figures represent lo.
cal prices in Arizona:
The net annual returns per neve of
alfalfa, yielding six tons, when sold
as hay were not over $10. The net re•
turns for a similar acre of alfalfa when
grazed off by twelve hogs were $47.23.
These hogs were fed a supplemental
ration of grain, but the value of this
was determined and deducted.
The fertilizing ingredients iu a ton
of barnyard manure are worth $2.50,
calculated according to price of corn•
mercial fertilizers. On this basis the
value of the hog manure as dropped
over the Held must be at least $3 per
ton. Figuring that 8.5 per cent of the
six tons of alfalfa was returned As ma•
nure to the soil, 'there were then five
goat's of manure, worth $3 per ton, or
$15. This added to $47.23 would be
$02.23, representing the net gain per
acre of alfalfa when grazed off by
twelve hogs, as against $10, which is
the net gain per acre when the alfalfa
is cured and sold as baled hay.
In this ease the net price for alfalfa
tray was only $8 per ton, and, of
course, the hogs paid more than that
for it. There might easily be another
situation where the reverse of this
would be true. There are situations
In the eastern states where alfalfa bay
will bring $18 or more per ton, -While
small droves of bogs would not pey.
En such cases it might pay better to
sell the hay and use chemicals to keep
up the fertility.

to England with the contingent. I-Xo
was moved on to France with the
Canadians. When ho landed thyro
were hundredsof wounded soldiers
on the quay and not enough ambu-

being employed by the Grand Trunk

merce and other large business cor-
porations to tour their systems and
take huge photographs for advertis-

His skill in this work procured
him the position of official photo-

Nursing Sister Scatcherd, of To-
ronto, writing to a friend from Le
Touquet, France, gives a graphic pic-
ture of the arrival of Canadian
wounded there after the battle of
Langemarch. She says:
"It is one of the grandest morn-
ings., and as I have a spare half-
hour, am just going to write you a
wee bit letter, We have just gotten
a lot of our own boys in and the ex-
citement has been intense. We sim-

YELLOW DENT CORN.
them in Whitman conuty, Wash. Win -
this grew Lite Willes {incl ri'ilaypv elle
yellow. Each man hacl ebtaieed his
seed from a uelgbbor. The neighbors,
now dead, appareptly had ebtalned the
seed "somewhere in the east" and had
done a good deal of field selecting,
which in turn was taken up by the
Agricultural college.
As years passed by Thayer and
Windus grew their corn with increas-
ing success. In the early }inlet** the
agricultural college was founded iu the
state of Washington, and when at-
tempts were made a few years later to
introduce corn ]lochs And Thayer,
who lived near the new i}ietitatiog, ea-
thusiasticafly dopated seed for thiol,
each vowing that bis was superior to
the other.
In succeeding years many varieties
of corn were tried out and eliminated
by late frosts or the cool nights of
midsummer. Several kinds escaped
the frosts and coolness of summer,
only to be nipped in the fall even be-
fore they could be siloed. The white
and yellow dents, however, promptly
gave evidence of their worth. Still, it
was several years before the agricul-
tural college'felt safe in recommend-
ing the corn to the• farmers. In 1007
it seemed advisable to offer limited
quantities of the Sped for trial. 13y
this time Ane was called Thayer Yel-
low Deut and the other Wipdes White
Dent,
But men who were successfully en
gaged in the production of wheat And
knew corn only as seen In the groat
corn states of the middle west and
cast Looked askance. Only by the a.
most coaxing could the agricultural
college induce thirty farmers to try
small patches of it. The results were
so good that in the next year, 1008, it
was possible to distribute 275 samples
of seed among farmers who promised
to give it a' fair trial. In 1000 700
samples of the corn were distributed.
Each year since then has marked an
additional step in overthrowing the
wheat farmer's prejudice against cpfr},
till the present year finds coni gluts
well established in norttltvestern wheat
regions, In January, February and
March of the present year the agricul-
tural college distributed more than
5,000 pounds of Windus nod Thayer
Dent, representhlg only n fractional
part of what will be planted.
On the stnte farm et Pulhnnn, Whit-
man e.owity, Wash., the Thayer Yel-
low Dent grows from five to seven feet
high, ears well and produces four to
seven tons of silage an acre. 'Yields
running nil the way from thirty to six-
ty bushels have been obtained, Which
is pretty good for a region far too rig-
orous for corn as found in its natural
habitat. Planted from the 10th to the
15111 of May, the yellow corn usually
is rendy to cut by the middle of Sep-
tember. *`oder like conditions the

More Poultry Needed.
Canada is short fifteen hundred
thousand hens averaging one hun-
dred eggs per day. Canada in 1914
imported two hundred thousand
dollars' worth more poultry than she
exported, and imported eggs to the
enormous value of $2,500,000 in ex-
cess of her shipment abroad, says
Country Life in Canada: These are
the somewhat surprising, if not
alalrming, statements made by tl}�
poulti;.y, divisipn of the Dominion Ue•
partment of Agriculture, from Which
else emanates the important an,
neuncement that Britain took from
Belgium, France, Russia, Germany
and Austria-Hungary in the exalt,
able months of 1914 three ri illigrl
dollars' worth of poultry and 136,s
000,000 dozen eggs, or sixteen hue-
and and thirty-two million eggs—
suffipient to give two million two
hundred and thirty-five thousand Bir
hundred and sixteen people two eggs
apiece for every day in the year.
Such facts must surely convey a
world of meaning to poultry breed-
ers in Canada. These facts are fur-
ther emphasized by the statement
that the average egg yield per hen
in this country is but 80 eggs per
year, which we are further assured
by experts could, by careful selec-
tion, feeding and housing, be in-
:reased to 1.80 .eggs per hell pee
