Fall wheat came through the win-
ter in generally excellent condition
In Huron county, but the frosts and
cold winds of early April set it back
considerably. "There Is little heav-
ing, however, aril favorable weather
would still improve it a great deal,"
Agricultural Representative G. R.
Paterson of Clinton told The Adyer-
ther tide week. Pail wheat is one of
the three meet important cash Crone

bciane and ilex.

There is abundance of fodder, but a

Huron enjoys the reputation of
supplying a largo number of good
'bacon type market hogs. The per-
centage of Meets was high when
grading started in 1922 and with a
record of 1,5% in 1927 stands very

Huron 14 not the sheep raising'
county which it once was. "The
sheep population has decreased to
25% of what it was in 1000," Mr.
Patterson reports, "There is quite
o lot of Interest in sheep raising,
however, and indications point to an
improvement both in quantity and
onality. This year's lamb crop is
irsat,pointinz in .one cases, with
mnny lambs lacking vitality owing
no doubt to a large extent to winter
miemanagement. Several of the
oleer establiehed producers have re-
ported excellent results this spring."
Poultry raising is an important
item. Meeks have increased in eize
100 per rent in 25 yearand now the
numbers stand second only to Mid-
dlesex. "It is interesting to note
that with 0 capital inveetnikint .of

TA PER1NG
WITH MAKET
MILK
Booth, head of
It is no longer possible to adulter-
ate milk with water or to remove a
part of the cream without the risk
of detection. Institutions that handle
milk for marketing, butter making
or- cheese making, are constant-
ly making tests to ascertain the pill:-
ity and condition of the product.
Bulletin No, 14, New Series, of the
Department of Agriculture at Ot-
tawa, fully explains the process of
testing milk, cream and dairy by-
products by means of the Babcock
tests and tells how adulteration,
skimming and other tampering with
the milk may be ddtected. 12 part of
the cream is removed the milk
contain a less than usual proportion
of fat. The milk will also have a
higher specific gravity because fat is
the lightest part of the • milk.
Roughly speaking., for each one per
cent. of fat removed by skimming,
the lactometer reading of the part-
ially skimmed milk would be in -
11844:0 by about one degree. The
tiee e2 the lactometer is fully ex-
lila:tied in the bulletin. As an ex-
ample the bulletin cites the case of
1 nor cent milk that has a lactometer
reading of 512. When one per cent
of the fat or cream is removed, the
lactometer reading will be increased
to about 38. Further it is shown
that if the lactometer reading in-
creases one degree with each one per
cent of fat removed :hy skimming,
• the per cent of solids not fat would
not be affected. In actual practice
it is usually. found that partially
skimming milk slightly increases the
per cent of solids not fat. Skimming
milk, therefore, reduces the per cent
of fat and increases the lactometer
readi lie leaving the per cent of solids
not fat normal or slightly high. If,
on the other hand, instead of remov-
ing some of the fat, water is added
to the milk, this is also easily detect -
ti both by testing for fat end by
determining the specific gravity of
the product. If a sample of milk
shows a lactometer roadhur of 82,
one gallon of such milk will weigh
0.112 eeends as against 10 pounde,
ti. 0 IV !1'.11t. of a gallon of water. If
role gallon of this milk is mixed with
it gallon of water we would have
2 pounds which would be the
combined weight of a gallon of milk
eel a .eallon 02 water. One-half of
ale quantity, therefore, would
weigh only 10.113, pounde whkh
would be shown as 16 on the lade -
meter. -
If the milk in question contained
4',4. of 'fat with a lactometer reading
of 32 the percentage of solids other ,
than fat would'he nine and mixing a
gallon of water with a gallon of such
milk would reduce the fat to 2% and ;
the solids nee fat to 9(1 . From this
it will he seen that adding water to
milk reduces the percentage of fat,
lowers the lactometer reading and
the percentage of solids not fat, all
three being reduced in equal pro- '
portions. This bulletin,- which is ob-
tainable from the Publications
Branch of the Department of Agri-
culture et Ottawa, explains not only
testing of milk for all purposes but
ae well the testing of butter and
cheese

By -Election. now,' 13e Under New
Law, Sinclair Says --Hasn't Much
Hope—Opposition to Bring Bill!
Before House Next Year Based on
Ottawa Probe,
Toronto, April 20—W. E. N. Sin-
clair, Liberal leader in the Legisla-
ture, demands a special seseion of
the House to enact the recommenda-
tions of the Royal Commiesion in
the South Ottawa bailee case,
Gives Reasons.
There are two by-elections pend-
ing, he pointed out, and possibility
of two more, and the Election Act
ought to be amended en accordance
Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair
with the findings of the judges be-
fore any of these, let alone a gen-
eral election, takes place.
Mr. Sinclair's comment upon the
South Ottawa affair was given at
length before a gathering of the
Toronto Men's Liberal Association
and the ward Liberal associations of
the city, at a dinner in his honor,
held at the Ontario Club hut even-
ing.
Indication that the Liberal leader
has no very great expectation of a
special session was carried in n
statement that if the government did
not introduce the destred amend -
mints at the next session the Oppo-
sition would do so.
Mr. Sinclak. pointed out that some
of the precautions now advised were
statutory prior to 1908, when the
Whitney government eliminated cer-
tain clauses of the act.
"What I would ask tonight," he
said, "is, 'Will the government put
the law back where it wits and com-
pel all the ballots to be returned to
the clerk of the crown in chancery
by statute?" And I would ask, "Will
the government change the law to
what it was prior to 1 908 and have
the sheriff or registrar of deed be
permanent returning officers in each
riding of the province?" If they do
not act at once in the matter and
carry out the recommendations of
the commission the people will be
justified in thinking there is a rea-
son in the minds of the government
when they prefer not to return to
the law which made elections safe."

F. Wellington Hay, M. P., former

of Mr. Sinelair by 1I the party,

this province today than appeare on

Ferguson Sees Differently
"The suggestion that there .should
be a special session of the Legisla-
ture is on a par with Mr. Sinclair's
attempt to fasten some improper
practices on the government," com-
mented Premier Ferguson, when ae-
quaineed with the Liberal leader's
remarks upon the South Ottawa bal-
lot case last evening.
"It- is quite obvious," he said,
"that Mr. Sinclair feels keenly the
fact that what he started out to call
a crime has turned out to be a `dud'.
It was quite obvious that he endeav-
ored to create some partisan feel-
ing over the incident that he launch-
ed on the House. Ile endeavored to
do that ia his speech in the House
and endeavored to do it before tho.

could be a fair, non-partisan report.
No Offence.
"They found that nobody commit-
ted any offence. Returning °dicer
Scott evidently thought he had re-
turned all the material, but did not
do so, They say he was guilty of
carelessnese in not returning the un-
wed paper and unused .ballots. They
find there was no improperity on the
part of any official and nothing that
could in any way affect the election,
Their suggestion ie that the clerk of
the crown in chancery should here-
nftee open the boxes containing un -
weed material to see that it has been
returned."
In reference to predictions at the
Liberal banquet of an early provin-
cial election and victory to the Lib-
eral party "closer than we think,"
the prime min!, ter observed plette-
antly that Mr. Hay and Mr. Sinclair
hail both proved indifferentelection
prophets in the past.

On Kitchener' s Favourite Charger
"VIDNAPPED" aboard the old
AN. Elder -Dempster liner Mount
Royal when the ship was com-
mandeered by His Majesty's forces
as a horse transport, during the
Boer War, a boy of ten spent two
glorious years on the high seas.
The boy is now Frank Daly,
District Passenger Agent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway at Van-
couver, 13.C., and his adventure
was recalled by old photographs
recently unearthed in England.
Memories of Kitchener and of
the Boer War are recalled by the
discovery of the photographs. The
snap -hot ola the centershows Mr.
Daly at the age of ten years 071 the
back of Haeliener's favourite
charger. This was taken on board
the S.S. "Mount Royal" of the
Eldereteimpster Line at Cape
Town, South Africa, during the
Boar War, when the vessel was
requisitioned by the Government
for the transport of horses. The
oval on the left shows the boy on
the bridge of the ship,
Captain James A. Murry, cap-
tain of the ship, is seen holding the
horse's head. He was later Coin-
modore-Captain of the "Empress
of Britain", and other steamships
of the Canadian Pacific fleet, after
the Elder Dempster Line was taken
over by them. Be was killed in
the great Halifax explosion during
the Great Wer.
The Boer War involved exciting
adventures for the ten year old
boy. He was on board as guest of
the captain at the time the war
broke out, arul the vessel was im-
pressed into Government service
as a horse transport. They sailed
for Cape Town with a load of
horses, expecting to return to
Liverpool and the regular run

between the British Isles and
Canadian ports, alter discharging
their cargo. The boat was ordered
off elsewhere, however, and not
until a year and a half had elapsed
did the lad return to his home, by
that time a seasoned mariner.
On one occasion during the time
they were on war service, the men
went on strike, and the "IVIount
Royal" put into Barbados,
where the whole crew were placed
under arrest, and a black one
temporarily substituted, The
change was worse thanbefore,
however, and the remainder of
that voyage to New Orleans was
made at a pace of not over six
miles per hour.
Mr. Daly has been with the
Canadian Pacific Railway twenty-
two years, over twenty years of
which he has spent in 'Vancouver.
