BRUSSELS
A canvass of Brussels 'residents is
being niade this week to ascertain how
much power could be used in the
town, in the hope that hydro may be
taken there in the course of a few
months. It is propased to extend the
line from Seaforth, with a substation
at Walton' to serve Blyth and Brussels.
William McCracken, who 'underwent
a critical operation a couple of weeks
ago, died at his home on Princess St.,
on Wednesday morning. Deceased
had been a resident of Morris Town-
ship for a great many years, retiring
from farming and moving to town
about two years ago. He was 77
years of age. Interment will he made
in Brussels cemetery on Friday after-
noon. ....
The remains of Miss Elizabeth -Mc-
Lachlan, who died at Portage La

Entd Deborping
leeeeareb „and Experimenting
Necessary,
(1ontributen by Ontario Department of
. Agriculture, Toronto.)
.Recently considerable sicknees era,'
easeos nave been reortsa, mons
cattle being fed an ensilage. In some
instances only a few animals haTe
been affected on a particular farm,
but in a few cases the lossee have
been serious, as one farmer is known
tennave lost 17 antra/1,1s out, of a herd
or'50 cattle. • The frequency and
peculiarity of these losses has led the
Department, to have investigation
and experiments made to determine
the cause. "
Investigational Work by Ontario
Veterinarians.
The staff of the Ontario "Veterinary
College have been in close touch with
the veterinary surgeoes throughout
the province, and reliable informa-
tion obtained as to the prevailing
circumstances where cattle have died.
In all cases investigation has reveal-
ed the fact that the losses have
Occurred among cattle fed extensively
on sweet clover ensilage which had
become mouldy. Samples of the en-
silage were shipped to the Veterinary
College, and experiments conducted
clearly indicated that mouldy sweet
clover ensilage was harmful to cattle.
From observations and information
available at the present time,,it would
appear that the harm is confined to
sweet clover ensilage which has be-
come mouldy, and that the continued
feeding of it ie liable to, cause death..
Young Cattle the First to Succumb.
It is an interesting fact that young
cattle under three years of age are
• the ortes,,witicii'litiffer raose severely
and succumb the quickest. In
illta-
tration of this the case. mentioned
where in a herd of 50 cattle the 17
which died were all young cattle un-
der two years of age and -in good
condition. No sickness had beexi preEi-
ent in the herd until after the feed-
ing of the ensilage commenced, and
the losses occurred . within a few
weeks. Apparently mature cattle
overfour years of age are able to
withstand the ill effects better than
young cattle. However, continued
feeding of damaged sweet clover en-
silage may be harmful to cattle of
all ages.
It Makes Castration and Dehorning
Dangerous.
It is also „interesting to note that
operations such as ehorning and
castration performed on cattle that
have been kept largely, on mouldy
sweet clover ensilage caused sudden
death in many cases, while the same
operations similarly 'performed on
cattle fed differently have not been
followed by ill effects. The exact na-
ture of the poisonous factor
associated with the ensilage, and the
manner in which it produces harm-
ful effects in cattle and to cause their
-death has not yet been definitely
determined, and any 'opinions ex-
prepsed at the present time are based
'n practicatOFservationi.
More Research and Experimenting
Required. '
In fact a large amdint of intense
study, imvestigation and reeearch will
be necessary to obtain reliable con-
clusions regarding the possible dan-
gers incidental to* the feeding of
mouldy sweet clover ensilage, or as
to whether sweet clover cut at cer-
tain stages and ender certain con-
ditions develops harmful properties
as silage, In the meantime sufficient
evidence is at hand to justify warn-
ing farmers agaiust the feeding of
mouldy ensilage to live stock in
order to avoid losses, and' under no
circumstances should operations in-
cluding dehorning and castratien be
Performed on cattle which are being
fed on sweet clover ensilage if it
appears moeldy. Such animals seem
to develop marked vascular changes
which produce a tendency to internal
hemorrhage resulting in death.—Dr.
C. D. McGilvray, President, Ontario
Veterinary College, Thronto.
Clover Seed Grown at Home Is Safest.
Clover seed from Italy and other
countries of similar climate produces
plants that are not hardy In north-
ern districts of Canada and the
'United States. In 1919 four and one-
half millions of pounds of this seed
tame into the United, States. Thiel
tieed is not sold to farmers it the
• condition that it comes in, because
seed -houses know It is inferior and
will not produce good crops. There-
fore it is Mixed with native clever
seed and undoubtedly is the cause
to a considerable extent of the un-
satisfactory clover crone.
The only way to be safe Is to buy
from reliable firms which will guar-
antee the source of the seed or pur-
chase from growers itt the immedi-
ate Vicinity.
• When perehaeing direct froin
growers care should be exeecised to

The Scottish people are doing some
eervices thinking over the attitude of
the London County Council in permit-
ting games to be played on Sundays
in the parks.' They do not consider
the argument convincing, that because
golf and tennis are permitted on priv-
ate property, the.publie have as much
right in the park. They point out that
in Public places the rights of all must
be considered and protected. It is
further questioned that after the six
pr seven months where the -weather
will- permit games in the parks the
next step will be to open other places
of amusement for the rest of the year.
The editor of an Edinbilrgh Daily
concludes his • criticism as follo-ws—
"We are not pleading for the return
of the days when elders roamed our
Scottish streets and collected Sabbath
breakers. But do we not run some
risks to national life of large numbers
of people live in a whirl of excitement
all seven days of the week? Then
there ought to be a little flaunting
of new practices as possible before
people who 'are counted old-fashioned"
The members of Jarvis St., Baptist
church, who succeeded after consid-
erable friction with the majority led
by the well-known pastor, Rev. Dr.
Shields, have organized themselves in-
to a regular Ba.ptist church to be
known, as the Ceetral Baptist Church
of Toronto. The followitig deacons
were elected, Q. B. Ilefiderson, W. J.
Lugsdirt, James Ryrie, Ephriam Sale,
Rev. H. E. W. Stilwell, H. R. Well-

Every week sees a new phrase in
the fortunes of the Orthodox Greek
church. With the fall of the former
Hierarchy of the Russian church of
which Patriarch Tichon was head, the
Orthodox Bishops of Poland have
held a: special synod in Warsaw and
have declared their independence front
Moscow. The Patriarch in Constant-
inople has been asked to approve of
the seceseion— The Bolsheviks are
gleeful over the facethat four bishops
have set up a "Provisional Church
Government" and have summoned a
conclave to consider the'changesin
the constitution, some of these are—
Reforms tending towards an Evangel-
ical basis; a new ritual and a procla-
mation that the church has taken the
side • of the "proletariat against the
capitalist." The Soviet Government
avill be mentioned in the Prayer Book
and Christian nations appealed to in
favor of ending the blockade of Rus-
sia. '
The position of the National Catho-
lic Welfare Council have been cleared
of misconception. The prominent part
taken by it in social :natters during
the war gave it such a high standing
that the preinature 'statement that it
was to be dissolved because as a war -
measure it had outlined its usefulness
caused a mild sensation in Catholic
circles. The Editor-in-chief of the new
service, Mr: Justin McGrath has given
out a staternent by the most Rev. J.
Ha.nna, Archbishop of San Francisco.
It admits that opponents of the Coun-
cil had gathered such strength that the
Holy -Father was on the point of send-
ing out a decree, when its friends sent
a cable to Rome requesting the "Holy
See to withhold publication of the de-
cree pending a formal presentation of
the case by the bishops." In connec-
tion with this Archbishop Moeller,
• Cincinnati and Archbishop Schrembs,
Cleveland are now in Rome. Enough
has.been published to indicate that the
council will not be dissolved but re-
vised to bring it "more in conformity

If the term "champion" be not a
happy term to describe a famous
churchman, the word "unique" at least
may be used. Archdeacon Cody, Tor-
onto, has just risen to new flights of
distinction in England where he con-
ducted service last Sunday in the Roy-
al Chapel, It is stated that he is the
first Clergyman from the Dominions
to have the honor. Dr. Cody was an
Anglican lad brought up in a Scotch
Presbyterian Community neat Wood-

ation refusingto accept his resigna-

Advantages of Co-operative Mar-
keting.
Co-operative marketing associa-
tions stop the dumping of agricul-
tural products. As it is now, the
markets are flooded at harvest time
with our own, and .other producers'
goods. The wastes are enormous, the
local consuming public and the grow-
er lose, no One benefits excepting the
speculator. Co-operative- marketing,

ine, glut or nothing, condition on: our
markets. The speculator does not
break the price, the farmers do this
themselves by duinping their product
one against the other, making 4 pos-
sible for the speculator to watch the
fight to a finish and then step in and
Lake the spoils at his price. The
consuming public pay the full price
irrespective of what the farmer gets
for the product. This practice 01

ty has existed in Ontario since tne
beginning of your agriculturel We
have enjoyed the markets ofGreat
Britain for a great many yeess in the
Past, and now find that we ere being
crowded out in the sales of our ex-
portable produce. We annually pro-
duce one hundred million dollars
worth of dairy products. It might
just as well be two or three hundred
million, because we have the capacity
to produce that quantity, in quality
if we would only get down to it. We
can grow expcirtable orchard fruits
of the highest quality, we can pro-
duce the highest grade of export
bacon and beef, we can produce the
highest grade of export cereal grains,
we can peodeme the higheet grade of
wool and tobacco. All these com-
modities are soil products, products
that make up sixty per cent. of the
total exports of Canada. But we can-
not make real progress in agriculturE
until we develop the marketing en
of our business. .... .
Vrogressive Countries Are Crowding
Us Out.
The Danish, the New Zealand and
the United States farmers have in-
vaded and are crowding the Canadian
farm produce from the European
markets. The farmers of these coun-
tries have tspecialized in production
and organieed marketing to a degree
scarcely thseight of by the farmers
of our province. These countries in
their struggle for markets are beat-
ing us in tee race, and we can only
hope to retain what we have, or re-
gain what we have lost by adopting
methods thet will make our farm
products atteactive, uniform, of the
higeest quality and always, available
at a fair price. The only way to
acceraplitth the desired end, is
threugh the adoption of the co-oper-
atiee marketing plans by all the
People producing exportable farm
Produce.

is befit around a single industry, like

Each branch -of the agricultural in-
dustry has Re individual problems to
solve and difficulties to overcome.
Organizations that have attempted to
handle the marketing of numerous
lines of farm crops have generally
been unsatisfaetory in that the di-

Interviewers have been questioning
Archdeacon Paterson Smyth, rector of
Si. George's, Montreal, who is spend-
ing his holidays in Ireland and Devon-
shire, England. Being a native of the
south of Ireland his optimism regard-
ing the good faith and ability of the
Free State is refreshing. He refers
to the "gallant work of its soldiers
as compared with the mad reekless-
ness of the irregulars." He is not
afraid that "religious bigotry will
seriously affect the future," but believ-
es that Ulster is only waiting to be
"convinced that the Southern leaders
are loyal to the Empire and can give
'efficient government at Dublin." The
interviewer calls Dr. Paterson Smyth,
"Canada's Great Religious Writer,"

books, one of, which the "Gospel of
the 'Hereafter" is in its fifth edition
as a Norwegian translation, the work,

It was a great day for Methodism
in England, the Wesleyan Conference
which met late in July in Sheffield
Passed a motion of union ,with the
Primitive and Free 'Methodists, The
vote was somewhat of a surprise after
the opposition manifests signed some
months ago by 800 ministers and
nearly moo laymen. On the straight
issue the devision stood 349 to 163
and only 6o opposed the motion to
"receive the report as a whole to send
it to the •Quarterly Meetings to sug-
gest amendments and report at the
next Conference." It was a "knight-
ly debate" in more than the fine spirit
and ability displayed, for that grand
old Methodist warrior, Sir Robert
Perks, was on the side of the Union-
ists and Sir Kingsley Wood moved
the chief amendment. Among the
clergy, Rev. J. E. Rathenbury, the
young London livine spoke against,
stating that fully 30 per cent. of de-
nomination were opposed and demand-
ing the right of full discussion in the
Quarterly meetings. It was a tact-
ical move therefore when Reyze John
Hornabrook, who framed the union
motion stated that whereas discussion
was not invited there was no object-,
ion to it in the lower courts.

Lest We Forget
• Throughout the province of Ont-
ario are hundreds of old cemeteries
Most of which are in a much neglect-
ed state. In them lie the remains of
men and women who find no place
on brass tablets or velluni scrolls, but
who by their high courage and' great
perservance in life of toil, hardship
and loneliness, cleared away the bush,
and built the city, constructed roads,
fought the roaring rivers and opened
the gates of the world for, the en-
trance , of civilization. To the mein-
ory of those pioneers we erect no
costly monuments, but can not we,
who are enjoying the fruits of the
toil, at least keep the acre in which
they sleep, free from the blighting:
burdock and the irritating nettle and
make it a place comeneesurate with
the smiling fields that they reclaimed,
from the wilderness?
