It was never very strong at any time, and its health has not im- proved since February last. Its ail- ment has been diagnosed as pernicious anaemia—it has no energy to do any- thing, Its days are full _of trouble and so are its nights, and that tells on a weak constitution. Its best friends predict for it a sbeh' rt but fatal illness which it will bear with Christian fortitude and then good-bye. If all goes as per schedule it . ought to be ready for the under- taker next spring or next summer. The funeral Will be private, there evill be no flowers and almost .the only mourner -will be the lion. Newton Wesley Rowell. Mr. Crerar has al- ready signified his intention of being ,absent at the obsequies and Mr. Guthrie has a pressing engagement with the Exchequer Court wbThb will prevent his following the remains to the grave. Some critics are cruel enough to say that there will be no remains to follow because long before a funeral can take place the 'central figure will have wastell away to nothing. Mean- while the plitient is making a losing fight against human nature—the Grit and Tory corpuscles in its watery blood are wolfing each other—and only one result can be expected in its enfeebled state of health. Ultimate recovery being impossible, the question arises, Why doesn't some one kill it now and put it out of its misery? The answer is that it hasn't suffered enough. It must linger on a little longer to pay the penalty of its sins before it departs to that limbo where .governments good or bad are eventually forgotten. If the poor dy- ing creature made one last appeal to the country—even with the War Time Election Actin its imploring band— it would, get knocked on the head by Grit, Tory, High Tariff, Low Tariff, Free Trade, United Farmer, Returned Soldier, Trades and Labor I. W. W. and Bolshevists. All the discontents would conspire to bash its skull in and nobody with a heart wants_ to see it manhandled that way. It has work- ed hard—in spots—and it deserves a quiet de:Ah-bed. And a quiet deathbed it -will have even if Quebec has to vote Conservative to save it from itself. It must have time to purge its soul, and be ehriven—besides the Opposition is not quite ready. It receives nothing but the gentlest treatment from those who have gathered around its bedside. Fred Pardee has said, "The best of friends roust part, so ni start now." •' The Hon. Mr. Fieldinglooks forward with moist eyes to the sad day when it will pass to that bourne whence no traveller returns. The Hon. Arthur Sifton gives fifteen minutes of some- thing that may be a thanatopsis or an apologia—probably a little of both —which goes to show that the least said is the soonest mended when the end is in sight. And the Hon. Frank Carvell—what does he do? The Hon. Frank leaves himself free to criticise certain details of the budget—which mune that the death -bed conWsion -1- is not complete enough to suit him and that he may throw.a few stones at the hearse. Other members of the Cabinet in- dicate by their faint praise of the patient that the most they can be counted on for is to attend the ser- vices at the House. They will not follovi the body to the metery—and much less *ill they juinp into the grave after it,. They remember their duty to the living—and what is going to be alive after Union Government is dead and buried is the two great political parties, Liberal and Conserva- tive, High Tariff and Lw Tariff, or ed, and wise gements ac- whateder they mtey be men wit make their arr cordingly. Already a look of xesigntion spreads over the wasted feature t of Union Government. It doesn't exactly fold its hands on its breast a a say "now let me go" but it makes a little flut- tering gesture in the b which is not ordy a confession repentance but a sign of extreme ve:- • ess. As a confession of repentance the budget says "High protection is wrong. The tariff must be revised. T1e West tias rightsas well as the East. The rich men who own Canada mut pay more of Canada's taxes." As a sign of ex- treme weakness it says, "I ao the best I can but strength fails nie. So far as ordinary expenditures 4a. .e concern- ed I'll pay as Igo until 1 4o for good. but do not torture my last moments with the National debt." The rulieg passion strong in death, a you will observe—passing the buci with its latest 'breath. And to everybody's credit be it said this haunting spectre, the Iwar debt, with its dreadful legacy of orrowing is only whispered in the dying Govern- ment's presence. It speaks no loader than the voice of conscience is usually allowed to speak. No reproaches— just a sad yielding to the irony of circ-umstance, and perhaps a suppress- ed sigh for the next loan "What will the Govermnent do when t has to ei fall back on the banks?" h. yes— what will it do?' Will it taxlthe next issue of Victory bonds? Vll it tax previous issues so as to getiafter the big holdings of corporati ns and profiteers?' These are the horrid thoughts which embitter Un on Gov- ernment's death -bed. How e n it de - ,part in peace with the thun er mut- tering in the distance? Moreover it has a sin on its soul—so at least the East says --when 't bribes the West with reduced freig t rates which are not made general The tariff is another dark though with a Union Government that dies Pa cent. in the Tory faith. At tames- its mind wanders and it babbles of East and West coming together by planting manufactures in the West which will take the curse off the tariff by Imaking it everybody's orange. Beingtlirious it reveals secrets and the nurshas to turn people out of the room when it begins to tell of its past or ra4eilfi its plans to send Sir John W to Washington to get the reciprocity offer removed from the books an,Iii thus banish continual temptation t? freer trade. Dubious Credit!, to Ituramna and Greece, an inflated currency whic fixes the high cost of living foeyeara to come, a gold reserve which ea never come back to normal until th pain* money is digested—such are th black cares which oppress the depart ing spirit and cause the Gevernmen. to moan in its sleep. Of course there is an atmosphere of -anxiety. Who is not anxious when there is a sick person in the 'House? But I think one of the Whips (iverstat- ed it when he told me that he was going. to buy a revolver to keep track of the pairs. The Government will not die just now. The Ahneet Per- suaded. crowd will let it go .at that. They will not do anything to hasten the end but those who live in the West will not come back if they do net declare therhselves on the tariff issue. They will confess themselves stand -patters and as Allan of Winni- peg said the other day, quoting from the Bible: "Every dodblasted man who isn't with me is against me." It will not be necessary to vote for the McMaster resolution—which is per- haps not radical enough for Mr. Crerar and his Wee Frees—but it will be necessary to make an affirrnation of principles and then refrain from vot- ing altogether. If they do not follow either of these courses they will have the Indian , sign put on them and that is their finish. As I said before everybody is con- siderate of the dying Government, which cannot "go West" yet, and so has to stay East.' No harsh words'no loud threats, no violent scenes dis- figure its last eolemn moments. There are no regrets and no complaints— everybody is satisfied to let it die. It will leave no will because for the last eight or nine months it has had no will to leave. - Read that last sentence twice. The budget debate does nothing to disturb the brooding quietude of ap- proaching. dissolution. His Mc - Master's voice, attuned to minor key,. fails to bring a flush to the faded cheek. Mr. Crerar and his little band de their speaking with bated breath— not wishing to crowd the mourners. The end will come soon enough. Mr. Crerar and his faithful few—including Dr. Michael Clark, who can never tray far from Free Trade—have set tit to be a I f th W b t leaven or e est u there is no reason why they shouldn't be nineteen on a division. According to- the rules they cannot bring in an amendment to 'the amendment but they can divide the House on the budget and that will put -there on re? 'cord.—H. F. G. _ EQUALITY WITHIN teat MIRE' It 'is a seriots, easilrsubStantiatetti charge against the leaders of sthe Imperialists that .they recognize the impracticability of being reasonably honest in their advocacy. Well a•ware that if their projects are to suceed, Canada must be made to believe that her national aspirations are -.compatible with the persistence of present Ins- perialisms, these gentlemen cleverly invent meaningless and amibiguous phrases which are well calculated to give that impression. . . For example, when the. Dominion Premiers entered upon a series of conferences ,with members' of the British Government—conferences rend- ered necessary by co-operation in the war—the Imperialiets announced the =formation of "The Imperial War Cabinet," a phrase which carried the clever, but quite unscrupulous impli- cation of the 'accomplishment of closer Imperial political union. But when Mr. Rowell introduced the pharse in Parliament he was forced to take refuge in the statement: "But this is not a Cabinet like any other Cabinet." He might well have added, "and it has none of the charistics of a Cab- inet. In truth it is only a subterfuge." The Canadian Imperialist who con- tributes to the Round Table admitted "that in no glossary of constitutional terms is the word 'Cabinet' defined as applicable to such. an anomalous body." These admissions are creditable but they have net served to terminate the USO of thediscreditable phrase, which is still exploited for the purpose for which it was created. Many Can- adians continue to believe that there is, not merely in fraudulent ttaine but in reality, such an institution. as "The Imperial War Cabinet." The Imperialists have invented, also, a whole series of phrase -prevarications for the purpose of educating Canadians along the line of present Imperial- izing projects: "Equality of status within the Empire," "A League of Nations each of equal status," "An Imperial Commonwealth," "Autono- mous nations of an Imperial Common- wealth," etc., etc. The inventors of these phrases ',mow perfectly well , that each of them is either self -con, tradictory ,or inappropriate to the schemes which they have in mind. The language was intended to give Canadians the idea that if the Im- perialists had their way, subordina- tion would cease, and Canada would rise to equality of status with the United Kingdom, whereas thousands of Imperialists would rather die than witness the consummation of Canadian nationel aspirations. "Equality of statu:s within the Empire" is a plain contradiction in terms. There are only two ways in which Canada's political status can be made equal to that of the United Kingdom: First, by the formation of a Federal Union, such as the United States, in which the United Kingdom would be one State mid Canada would be another, each with local jurisdic- tion, and each sending representatives to a Federal Parliament or Congress. Secondly, by Canada's declaration of independence. Having at last aban- doned all hope of Imperial federation, and being fiercely opposed to Canadian independence, bnperialists are en.- deavdring, by their dishonest phrases, to instill the idea- that elevation to equality may be obtained by continua- tion of subordination; for that is necessarily implied by the words "within the Empire."

Seedemen themselves must feel that they can- not be sure of what they sell when they have practically no control over the production. It is , certainly hard to understand why farmers do not produce on their own place more of the seeds which they require, especial- ly those which are easily grown. Not only would they be surer of the vitality, but, which is very important in the case of vegetables, they would also be surer of the purity. Garden peas are best grown on the flat in rows three feet apart They very seldom crosses() that each plant is practically a pure line which can be isolated with comparatively little difficulty. • Plants containing the largest mimber of long pods are chosen ,and peas from each plant are sown in separate rows. Of course, the more plants are chosen to start with, the - greater the chalice of finding one of extraordinary merit, but if fifty are used the first year, ten the second, two the third, and the best the fourth, it will be found that there will be guite an improvement over the initial stock. At the Cap Rouge Experimental Station, the isolation of a good strain of Juno garden pea was started, in 1912 when the yield was at the rate of 26 bushels of green pods per acre. In 1915 the yield had risen to 42 bushels, and no 1918 to 78. Though the least desirable varieties were year- ly weeded out, leaving only the best, still this strain was the highest pro- ducer of the eight tried in 1918. Farmers need not go to the trouble of isolating good strains, as this work is done. at Experimental Farms, but they can start with a good variety and put small stakes near a few plants which show decided superiority, as long as these have no advantage in regarde to space, light, manure or soil. The crop can be picked green leaving only the chosen plants to mature peas, and the pods shelled by hand. This choice seed would be sown the next year, when the same work should be- gone over again, and so on each year, as the good results obtained are soon lost when selection is stopped. see WHEN TO CUT GRASS AND CLOVER FOR HAY • It is regrettable ethat it is a too general practice among farmers in Canada to leave the hay crops to be cut much too long. There are, as a matter of fact, a large nintber of farmers who delay the cutting of the hay crop far beyond the time when it would pay them the most to cut In many cases the reason for the 'delay is that it is a general belief that a somewhat increased tonnage may be secured if cutting is postponed, and in i other cases the late cutting s prac- tised because it is even believed that a .better quality- of hay may be ob- tained than if the cutting were done parlifte Timothy and ied alter -the' standard hay plants which universally are grown together. The clover is contributing the bulk of the hay crop the year after seeding, and the timothy is ftunishing the bulk of the hay the followipgyear or years, Supposing that a fanner has a field of enlieel clover lind timothy, what would be the best time foie him: to eat if for herr The &Nei- develops early aiiol is reedy to cut some time 'before -the timothy has readied its best stage: Shall the fernier mit the hay when the red clover is in ite prime, or shall he wait until the timothy is at AA ' best? The answer is: cut when thet clover ifs at its beet, notwithstanding that the timothy mixed with itetniAY not be as well developed as might be desired, for the reason that the clover is the more valuable part of the mix- ture. By cutting early, the clover is given a chance to recuperate and to produce a remunerative second crop, whichitmight fail to do if the cut- ting for hay is delayed too long for the sake of the timothy. In case timothy forms the principal part of the hay crop, -which it gen- erally does two years or more after seeding to hay; it is important to - handle it for hayin a proper manner. Timothy, like most other grasses, has a period of its awn when it has the greatest feeding value and when the hay made from-, it is apt to furnish the maximum feeding value per acre. This; period is the' time of blossoming. At that time, timothy is richest in flesh and milk producing constituents and, if cut for hay when in bloom, the best quality hay may consequently 'be realized. It is a mistake to believe that better crops may be secured if cutting is somewhat delayed. Some slight increase in the yield may be obtained but what is gained in quant- ity is lost in quality and feeding value pound for pound. Under the circumstances, early cut- ting of timothy for hay must of neces- sity be recommended as the most econoirecal method of securing a hay of the highest possible value. STREET OILING Editor Huron Exiiositor:—I hpve been instructed by the council to give nu account of what has occured with reference to oiletg of!. streets this season as there seems to some mis- understanding by some of the rate- payers. In the first place, notice was printed - that those -wishing streets oiled or watered must have petitions sufficient- ly signed presented to the council by April 14th. At a meeting of the council held on this date there were not sufficiently signed petitions pres- ented to warrant the council to order a tank car of oil, so they gave the street committee power to order a ear in accodrance with petitions, They also passed a motion to again ask for petitions stating the assessment for oiling to be $3,60 per ordinary single lot and petitions to be in by May lst. On this date there was only one suf- ficiently signed petfition pdesented. The reasons for raising the assess- ment were the 'highf cost of oil arid putting it on and considering the re- sult of 1915, 16 and 17. The receipts for those years amounted. to $1,913.45, expenditure, $2,786.46, a deficit of $873.01 for the three years. In the meantime some' of the ,rate- payers ordered their own oil and oiled the streets in/front of their properties. A number oflothers- wishing to -do the same, the committee has ordered flits' barrels of oil to supplY them, which is expected to arrive before long. The higb price of oil and petitions not being presented accounts for the tank $r01oil not behig ordered. It is to UP hoped by another year the price NtiTill be reduced sit that there will not be a repititiou of the difficulty we have l)ad this year.—John A.Wilson 'Clerks HURON NOTES -e-During the thunder and lightning storm on Thursday afternoon Mr. Robt.

Gaynor, nowlivingin Brussels who rcently disposed of his farm in Grey township to William Baker. The Price paid by Mr. Gaynor is said to be $9,600. He will get possession next fall to get work done but will . busy himself in the interim with making improvements as occasion will permit. The farm is a good one, in a fine community and Mr. Gayedr should do well on it. —Mr. William Sims narrowly escap- ed injury Sunday evening when the Ford car he was driving skidded in the wk grass as he was passing a buggy, the occupant of which he said, did not give him rem to pass. The accident happened south of Exeter in front of Mr. H. Jones' farm, where the ditch is deep. When the car skidded he shut off the gas before it turned civet on itsi side. Mr. Sims was not hurt but the car wa_s damaged considerably, every spoke ih one wheel being broken, the windshield smashed and the top and one fender bent. —On Thursday last the death occur- red at Londesboro of Mrs. Elizabeth Sturdy, widow of the late William J.

She leaves to niourn her death two sons—John, in Goderich;and Frank, who is expected to arrive soon from overseas; also her aged mother, who is in her eighty-fifth year, two sisters and six brothers. Ittuch sympathy is felt for the bereaved ones, especially for the son who is on his way home ex- pecting a mother's welcome. His father died shortly before he Went overseas. The pallbearers at the fun- eral' were three brothers and three brothers-in-law: William, Joseph and Dixon Stalker, R. J. McGee, D. Geddes and G. L. Sturdy. --L'On Saturday of last week while Mr. F. Fenton, of the fourth conces- sion of McGillivrary, and his nephew Mr. Leslie Dickson, were driving to town they met with an unfortunate accident. They were riding in a cart and leading a horse that had been sold to W. G. Dow, of Exeter. When nearing town on Huron Street the horse that was following became frightened jumped on the cart and threw both occupants out. Young Leslie Dickson landed on his head and received a scalp, wound. He was -unconscious for some time and was brought into Die Hyn.dman's office. Mr. Fenton escaped unhurt. Both. horses ran away. One was captured at Victoria Park while the other ran down the London road and turned west on the Crediton road before being cap- tured.

The ' bride -swearing a white silk Georgette Crepe dress over white silk and with pearl trimmings entered the room with her mother Who gave her away. The wed- ding music was -played by Miss Belle Gordon, sister of the bride. The wed- ding gifts were many and beautiful, among them being a $100 cheque from the bride's brothers in the West. After the wedding dinner Mr1 and Mrs. McGee left by motor for their home in East.
