A QUESTION OF CONSCIENCE By this time the budget has been chewed to rags—analyzed to its last molecule, .but one phase of the debate may have escaped the curious observer —I mean the operations of conscience in the members of Parliament. Con- science has been much glorified. by Mr: Calder and others. It may even lee said that conscience is corning into its own. Shakespeare • in a moment Of loose thinking said "Conscience cloth make cowards of ;us all." He was quite wrong. The 'latest view, as put forward by certain Cabinet 'ministers and others, is that Conscience doth rnake heroes of us all. Take the Western, members for ex- ample. Conscience has made heroes of them collectively and individually. Out on the prairies, with the free air of heaven ventilating their souls, they never knew they had a conscience. It • functioned, as all healthy consciences ehouid, without making itself felt. It was only when they came to- Ottawa that. conscience began to act like a hobnailed liver or a boil on the neck. For the first time in their lives con- science made them uncomfortable. Hitherto their conscience had thriven on the simple food of right or wrong,: At Ottawa the diet was complicated by a third disturbing factor—ex- pediency. Expediency is always an. -upsetting dish for conscience even wheu a party , government is in office, but it becomes absolutely nauseating when a Union Government is on the job. And for this reason—a party government whether it does right er eironge always finds it expedient to do something, but a Union Government never finds it expedient to do anything. It is this new and negative aspect of expediency which has given the Western con- ecienc a stomach ache. The Eastern Conseience is not affected the same way because the Eastern conscience is sephisticated—it waxes fat on a ten course table-d'hote of fiscal policies, a little bit of everything from soup to nuts, but the Western conscience has indigestion if it indulges in anything but plain, home -cooked free trade and direct taxation. The Westerncon-- science keeps itself fit on a few simple principles, but the Eastern. conscience can swallow almost anything and not have a dark brown taste next morn- ing. All -through the session the West- ern conscience has been torn between love and duty—love of a quiet life as a surcease from the cares of war, and duty to its clamorous constituents. For a long time the Western con- science suffered in silence but silent suffering didn't please the voters back _home. They sent night iettergrams saying "Why in blazes don't you let conscience speak? Get busy." So there were rhetorical outburst; from time to time but not many, not enough to flutter a Union Government whose chief occupation was sitting on the /id. In vain did the Western member explain that conscience was supposed to be a still small voice and that it was , in bad taste to megaphone it a it could be heard two thousand miles away. The voters telegraphed back "Let her roar. That's what you're there for." , In some cases they sent sharper messages "Come home at 6nce and we'll repair your conscience or you. Something seems to have gone wrong with the works." I uoderst nd that Maharg, whose conscience- is imposed to be one of the most Vocal in Sask- atchewan, obeyed this sum ons and came back with a conscience.l as good as new—the motor jacked up, the ball - bearings replaced, and the r ord run- ning sweet and true with no rasping. Dr. Michael Clark/ also decided some time ago to let conscience have its fling and moved over to ;the cross benches where the TJnited Farmers of Alberta couldthear it buzz . But the budget was the one grand chance for the long suffering !Western , conscience to cut loose and this it did; but in various ways accottling to per- senaZ temperature and individual idio- syncrasy. With some—not, many— conscience took the form of speech; with others it assumed the guise of silent contempt for - the government's milk. and water proposels. With others again a vague unrest-4ike a 1 bar -room fly looking for Something better than two and a half pew cent. But most of all the Western con- science declared itself on the vote. Some Consciences voted for the Mc- Master amendment on the principle that a half loaf is better than no , bread; other consciences voted for the Government on the plea thatthere was an implied promise in the tariff changes; and quite a few censciences did not vote at all, thereby- register- ing disapproval of everything in. sight. Broadly speaking, the We tern con- science found expression ore way OT another. -Conscience, as 1 s id before, makes heroes of us all, vo ntary or involuntary. It rests with fthe voters to say which. I have an idea that. the muter the conscience, the less chance it has of getting th nomina- tion. This applies te the W st. In. the East we understand that well -dis- ciplined conscience bides it hour or spills only one bean _at a ti e. • Conscieece, like death—o ominous analogy—.laves a shining re .rk, so we naturally turn to the Cabine milisters to see how it affected the . If made them brave. Mr. Crerar it nboidened to resign his portfolio and o tell why he did it. Curiously onou h it acted on Mr, Calder in the direct y opposite way. It fortified him in he resolu- tionjo keep his job until h had some place else to go. Mr. Calder gave every credit to Mr. Crerar's conscience which bade him go out and make a hero of himself all through the West but he pOinted with pride to his own conscience whieh gave him the moral courage to remain where he was and bear the ills that he had rather than fly to Others that he witted not of, Mr. Calder has de- veloped n conscience that would Make Lancelot Gobbet look like a piece of cheese. It will be a great eurprise to the "Black Cavalry" of Saskatchewan. They will wonder where Jetn got it. The fact remains, nevertheless, that Mr. Calder has it and that he is proud of its behavieur. He would love to yield to his principles and be a popular `Wes rn idol like Mr. Crearar but his consei nce is of a sterner_ ould. It ,FROM AN OLD.1VIcKILLOP e .,CORIIESPOTDEXT, e , e e---- 1 St Marys„ June 25. Dear- Expositor:—After residing in Toronto air winter I came to St. Marys seine . five, or six weeks ago. This appears likea retrograde move- ment coming from a great city to a small town, but it must not be forgot- ten that this was the first town I ever saw, and I well remember the first time I saw the place. to which I went with father. I was a little lad and bare- footed. Father haci a yoke of oxen hitched to a small wooden sleigh on which were three bags of wheat for a grist. -The town gets its name from Mrs. Joes, wife of a commiseioner of the Canada Com any, who- resided • . in Goderiir ch. Her ame was Mary, a 'good old name, butnow instead of Mary we have Mile Minnie, Mina, Mazie, May, etc., but let that go. This towa first went by the name of Little Falls before it was properly christened. At one time it had three grist mills and a carding mill within a 'distance . of two miles, all run by, water power of the Thames. It now has a population of nearly 4,000. A cement plant which gives employment to 200 men and boys, the quarries which are very extensive,- also giver employment to a large number; there are also two tieamaries which appear to do a good business, also a large flax mill and a shoe factory just commenc- ed work recently. There are two bakeries, one of the owners, Mr. Terlig ships bread to several points in Huron, Perth and Waterloo. All kinds of nice soft drinks, ice cream, et., are 'sold in the stores in connec- tion with the bakeries. These two establisinnents give -employment to aegoodly number of persons, ladies as well as men. The railways to the town are the ,Grand Trunk and the C. P. R., the former running from Toronto to Sarnia, his also a branch to Lon- don from St. Marys. The C. P. R. which enters thel towel from the south and would have continued on, to Exeter only that the township of Blanshard, which extends fee- ten Mlles *est of the town, refused to vote a bonus to assist the railway, St. Marys has an artificial lake made by damming the river. One of the worst drawbacks to the town is the want of a proper park. To be sure there is what' is called Hutton's Flats, but these are without a fence and without seats or shrubbery. It is amazing that the people of this beautiful town would not have a park. In a short letter in the neae future we will refer to the newspapers, banks and some other places of business, and also to. the natives ,d. the town and vicinity who have held high places in goverrnnent as well as being members of Parlia- ment in! the various provinces of the Dominion. But this letter is long enough already. I was just wondering how the people in the 'northern part of McKillop are behaving themselves. I cannot be with them all the time to keep them in the narrow way.— J. J.

The . German • officersand sailors were imprisoned. None of the officials would offer an opipimil as to how they are to be dealt with. The admiralty at first denied the report, but later confirmed it, and issued an official statement as follows: "According to the latest , reports from Scapa Flow all the interned bat- tleships and battle cruisers have sunk, except the battleship Baden, which is still afloat. Five light cruisers have sunk. but three have been beached by local tugs. Feur destroyers are still afloat The rest of the destroyers have sunk. A.

A small number of Ger- mans were killed or wounded. In- accordance with the terms of the armistice, the German ships were in - The first news of the sinking of the German fleet was contained in a Thurso dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. Early in the afternoon a report was circulated by the Exchange Telegraph Company that virtually the whole German fleet at Scapa Flow- had been sunk, but a few minutes later the news agency asked that the dispatch be cancelled. -A later message by the Associated Press from Thurso said: "The hoisting of a red flag at Theme was the signal foithe crews to scuttle the German warships in -Scapa Flow. The crews took to the boats and rowed toward the shore. The guard, ships fired at the Germane who jumped overboard and swam ashore, where they were rounded up." PIG PASTURES The cost of the produetion of pork canebe materially reduaed by the use of pasture. Under ordinary condi- tions where a pig is fed on, grain a- lone, it takes careful feeding and a very thrifty kind a pig to, make 100 pounds gain from 500 pounds of grain' and more frequently 600 16 700 pounds of grain, are consumed. Experiments with pasture and self feeders at Brandon Experimental Farm have shown that it is possible -to make good gains at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds of grain to the 100 pounds of pork with the addition of pasture. Pasture cannot be used satisfactorily to replaCe grain, but it 'nay very pro- fitably, reduce the grain consumption by one-third. As the pasture can be grown very cheaply and the pigs do the harvesting themselves, the cost of producing a pound of pork 111-847 - be reduced 20 to 25 Per cent. This May mean the difference between profit and loss. There are a considerable number of crops that may be used for pig pasture. The ,ordinary grain crops such as wheat, oats, barley and rye are quite suitable. Sown in the spring, these crops are ready for pasturing at the time that spring pip bora in March and April, are Old enough * use pasture to advantage. Spring, rye i5 the first of these arailf4 TO he ready., to use. eat M&ever, sell. ade.d pro- duce'ilgaed-gifins- one it. wever, it soon passes the most palatable stage and becomes more Woody as it ,shoots into head. Oats and bailey are a Week later than rye in reaching the stage for harvesting but are -relished rather rinore by the pigs and continue in a suitable condition for pasturing for a longer time. Wheat also produces good pasturebut is no better than other grains ,and the seed is more ex- pensive. . For later glummer and fall pasture, there is nothing better than rape. Sown in early spring it is ready for pasture about the middle of July, or, if sown later, it reaches pasturing stage in about six weeksfrom the date of sowing. Pigs like it very well; it produces a large amount of feed and stands pasturing well. It isone of the best plants for hog pasture. Another good fall pasture is fall rye. If sown in midsummer it is ready to pasture in a month from the date of sowing. It produces a good grade of pasture until severe frosts come and does not head out in ,the fall. Perennial crops may also be used as pig pestle:7e. Alfalfa will produce more pasture -per acre 'probably than any other pasture crop. Pigs de very well on it, and produce economical gains. However, it costs more to estart with alfalfa as the land must be prepared two -years ahead and sown one year ahead of the time it is to be used. Also, its greatest growth is in May and June when on the average form there are few pigs to use pas- ture as the spring litters are too small and very few fall pigs raised. The second crop of alfalfa comes in well for later summer pasture for spring Pigs. Pigs root out alfalfa and soon destroy it if allowed to. It is advisable to put ringsein their noses when they are pastured on alfalfa. 'The ordinary grasses sucb as brome and timothy make first class pig pasture in the spring months. But, as in the case of alfalfa, there are usually not many pigs to use pastures at that time. In midsummer and fall when pigs need pasture most, the grass pasture is often dry and harsh end not so suinenle for pigs: Conse- quently, better results are usually ob- tained from the annualcropsfirst de- scribed. Pastured, pigs should be confined to pens for a few weeks at the last be -- fore shipping to raarket. While on pasture, they take a great deal of exercise, especially if of the more active breeds, and as a result grow well and make good frames with plenty of lean- meat but may not put on enough of fat. By shutting them up for about three weeks at the last, they make amazing gains in weight, tleis, increasing the profit, and get into a more finished condition for market. Pigs of the more sluggish breeds may be finished on pasture. HURON NOTHS —Owing to unforseen circumstances Mr. McCreath finds himself unable to take possession of The Goderich. Star.
