WAR TIME SACRIFICES.
Row the President of the C.P.R.
Looks at It.
The readiness of all to go deep in
the pocket, so that Canada would
act worthily her part in helping the
British Empire and her Allies in the
present war, was expre.ssed by Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy to a news-
paper representative, who spoke to
hint. about the taxes imposed on
railways, steamships, cables and
telegrain:s.
"The individual, the eom,munity,
the nation, fully understand that in
war time sacrifices have to be
made," said Sir Thomas. "These
they are willing to undertake, as
they are necessary for the integrity
of the Empire. At, the -same time,
they will accept the extra, hardens
with the better grace if they are
well convinced that proper ea•ution
and economy are exercised in the
disbursement of the extra taxes and
the administration of affairs which
accompany such disbursement.
"One .cannot gauge the amount of
trouble involved in the process of
realizing these special taxes by.
stamps or otherwise, but all are
willing in such a time as, the pre-
sent, to. do their full duty; to put
up with any trouble; and to endure
sacrifices. They will. the more
readily 'consent to all this if they
have the satisfied feeling that all
proper caution an•cl economy have
been employed by those in authority
in the administration of public af-
fairs, and especially of those spe-
cial public affairs relating to oto'
share in aiding the Mother Country.
With such adequate caution and
prudence, there would be nothing to
regret afterwards.
t "It is the duty of all of us, indivi-
duals and corporations, to bear our
share of the extra burdens, which
must necessarily be imposed at this
time of .stress. If these are wisely
and prudently disbursed, so as to
obtain the best and most efficacious
results, as respects the public ser-
vice, there will be no occasion to
complain; and all these special bur-
dens will be borne, I have no doubt,
with .eh:eerfuln�ess by our people,
who are ready to do their utmoet to
aid in the defence of the empire."

In crop production, thorough
work practically always pays and
pays. well. A close observer of the
ollewing points in connection with•
cereal and hoed crop production in
1915 would work wonders. Let us
all try them.
(1) Make every preparation possi-
ble for seeding long before seeding
ime comes around. (a) Clean, test
and bag your seed. (b) Get your
horses, harness and implements in -
o good shape. (e) Anything else
that .can be done before seed time

(2) Lose nota minute when seed
time arrives. Get on to the land at

seeding usually means bigger crops -
(3) Perform every operation thor-
oughly:
hor-oughly: Do the ploughing well.
Disc :and h row -the land until a
perfect seed bed is prepared. • Saw
the seed ;carefully, with no misses
from bad driving, no blanks from
plugged drills, seed' sown not too
deep hut deep enough, .according to
character and condition of soil.
After seeding, roll if the soil is not
too damp, then lightly harrow.
(4) See that water furrows are
ren where needed.•
(5) Keep weeds in check.
(6) In the ease of hoed .crops, even
ore thorough work, extending un-
til .August, will ensure success.
(7) Do not economize in 'labor at

GREATEN AND BETTER CROPS.

of Experiiuei,tal Farms, in

Profits, net, are Professor Gris-

average of $45.77 per acre.
The average Canadian farm: yields
a profit of $6.50 per acre–,only one
dollar for every seven got by tate
scientific methods practised and
recommended by Professor Geis -
dale.
There are no .secrets in his meth-
ods—they are described in this arti-
elle. If you have not been getting

To Summarize:
Get ready for seeding now.
Prepare land thoroughly for seed.
Use good seed.
Sow seed early.
Sow seed well.
The result —Much large crops of
a better product.
Meadows cannot now be increased
in area nor can much be done to
increase the quantity of hay in
1915. Not a• few old meadows in
the . eastern provinces, however,
might be broken up and sown to
oats and peas .after thorough work-
ing. The returns would surely be
)ouch better than if left in hay.
This is true whether the crop be
harvested green as hay or allowed
to ripen for grain. In Ontario and
Quebec, these old meadows sown to
corn for forage would give the best
returns of all. A little extra work
before seeding is worth a light
dressing of manufe if such is not
available. Hay is likely to be dear;
grow other forage 'crops and be in
a position to sell a few tons. Sell-
ing hay is bad farm practice, but
war knows no law,
Forage crops and coarse feed in
abundance mean cheap production
of flesh and milk. Beef can thus be
readily produced, mutton and pork
made abund,an'tly available and milk
be put on the market at a reason-
able„price with a fair profit to the
produoer.
By each and every one of us doing
the best that is in him and making
the, very wisest u;se of every acre
that is under his control, we, as
Canadian farmers, may do much to
help our country, our empire and
the great cause of freedom.

FORMER "EMPRESS OF INDIA„

IA
Now C omplctc:ly Equipped as Dos- � ��1 tour
pital Ship.
No passenger steamer on the
Pacific was better known than the
"Empress of India," of the C,P.R.
Pacific; fleet, but in • the last six
months this vessel has suffered so
many changes that she would not
be recognized by her old friends.
When. the British Admiralty first
requisitioned her, she was painted
a dull grey and her fairy lieu .el:ctr•-
acter was almost )oat in the trans-.
formation. Then the Maharaja
Scindhia of Gwalior and other In-
dian princes bought her and fitted
her as a hospital ship, .and as such,
with the new name of the "Loyal-
ty," she left Bombay a shore, time
ago, repainted white with long
black strips on the water line and
on the deck line, with large red
crosses amidships. •
His Excellency the Governor and
Lady Willingdon paid avisit of in-
spection to the ship shortly before
her departure. Deck space Which
was made for holiday seekers with
idle hours is now mostly covered
with beds for injured soldiers, just
as all the available cabins are serv-
ing as private wards for wounded
officers. On the main deck of the
steamer space has been provided to
fill the purpose of wards. ' Cleared
of everything unnecessary the main
deck is well suited for this purpose,
for it gives two wide strips of space
on each side and gives accommoda-
tion for a large number of beds in
most pleasant positions on the
steamaer. Here rows of beds have
been fitted and all the require-
ments of a hospital are installed.
The work of reconstructing the in-
terior of the vessel was put in hand
soon after her arrival, and this
work completed, the fitting up of
the wards, etc., has been carried en
under the supervision of Major J.
W. Watson, Major J. R. J. Tyrrell
and Major C. W. E. Kerr, of the
Indian Medical Service. Between
the two wards a, small operating
room has been constructed and has
been .completely equipped. . Then
here and there wherever space could
be taken small wards have been
arranged, while on the' top deck a
number of private wards for officers
have been prepared. Altogether
some 500 beds are available on the
Vessel. '
