THING BUSINESS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE In 1914 there were eighteen mon- are:les in Europe. seven of them au- tocratic. To -day there are only 13 monarchies, and the rulers of a11, with one excep"on, are strictly lim- ited in their powers by constitutions. In 1914 the crowned heads of Europe ruled over 3,300,000 square miles of territory. Their subjects numbered 41.0,000,000. To -day their° authority extends over only 1,080,009 square smiles of territory and their eubjecta total but 184,000,000. In the accom- panying article, Mr. Kirkland con- trasts with thi$ figures of a little Teore than 180 years ago, when the American Republic was founded. The population of the rest of the owrld then was approximately 650,000,000 —all subject to Kings, all ignorant of democracy. The Thirteen Colon- ies contained some 900,000 square Telles. More than 56,300,000 square utiles .belonged to the Kings. Edward VII. is reported to have maid, "The King business is not what it used to be?' To -day, were he a- live, his language would probably be Teore emphatic. When the price of tea is high, many poor cheap teas are offered to the public. These that buy these learn to their sorrow that price does not in- 1 dicate their cost. To the pound more satisfying and flavory cups can be brewed from a fine tea like "SALA- DA," hence its real economy in use. THE SINNERS' PARADIE Two young men were seabed to- Mether in the tangy morning train. Monday," said one with a laugh, "and I'm more tired than I was on Saturday night. I drove down to the shore yesterday in my new car. Nev- er again for me!" "Have trouble?" the other staked. "No, but you know what that road is like on Sunday. I'd seen cars go- ing through our town but I never re- alized that at the height of the home coming traffic was a line of eery al- most end to end mile after mile from the city by sea all the way across the state to the ferries—the sinners' parade, someone in a car that stood near any own in a jam called jeer- ingly. "Do you know that phrase struck any mind. But of course they were not all sinners; no doubt some were preachers, church workers ani doc- tors on various errands. Let's be charitable. But 1 can't get away from the thought of noise, the dust, the un-Sabbathlike gayety and world- liness of the crowds, the many dis- abled cars and one accident when several persons were seriously hurt. And that phrase 'sinners parade'! I was in it and with no good excuse, no worthy object. I'll never be in it again!" The speaker's fine young face flushed.

Sold by ail Druggists, Grocers and General Stores he continued, "that I am afraid of getting hurt physically. I can take my chances with the rest. But I am afraid of hurts that go deeper.

NEW LAMP BURNS 94% AIR BEATS ELECTRIC OR GAS A new oil lamp that gives an am- azing brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the -U. S. Government and 35 leading universities and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise --no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% common kerosene (coal oil). The inventor, F. N. Johson, 246 Craig St. W., Montreal, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Write him to- day for full particulars. Also ask i him to explain how you can get the agency, and without experience or money make $250 to $500 per month. 2911-9 ONTARIO'S MINISTER OF AGRI- CULTURE WYANDOTTE KING AND ALL-ROUND FARMER Caa you believe it? An Ontario farmer with 25,000 customers in the United States! Thousands of cus- tomers throughout Canada; and thousands of customers spread over tke entire world,—customers in praotically every civilized country for the leading specialized product t of his farm—the wonderful Regal - Dorcas, exhibition -laying strain of White Wyandotte, which "Jock" Martin developed after visiting the Pan-American Exhibition in 1901, where he caught the vision of what this breed alone could do for him. Eureka! It is true. And more, "Jock" Martin, now the Hon. J. S. Martin, B.A., Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, is a real, all-round "dirt" farmer, with highly i profitable dairy cows, with pigs, 1 sheep and horses, apples, tender fsuit, and grains, corn for silo and fodder, clover and alfalfa, garden f "sass." for his own home and for his hired men. And flowers, too, c and beautiful surroundings on which s to feed one's soul. The world thinks of the Hon. J. S. Martin as the White Wyandotte king. But we know him as much more than this; great though this distinc- tion be. A day at his home will give any understanding mind 200 acres of evidence, and endless detail there- on, showing that in plain, unassum- ing "Jock" Martin we have a type of Ontario farmer who has given thought to "the other half of farm- ing" --to makreting. First of all, he produced what he knew he could sell; he produced something that the mar- ket wanted. Then he worked out his own business salvation in a strategic means of orderly marketing. Before telling what the Hon. Mr. Martin has done, and how he has accomplished it in the past twenty years, may we note the human side of this man? His farm manager Mr. .T. Chris. Quanherry, an English- man, has been with him as "hired man" for twenty-one years. His foreman, Mr. Sidney Goodwin, an English immigrant, twelve years since corning to Canada, four years in ac- tive war service and invalided, look his re-education under "Jock" Martin and has now been working with his "boss" going on five years. Mr. Goodwin remarked to the writer that during all this experience he had never known Mr. Martin to raise his voice in anger at any of his men. This record seems about the greatestcom- pliment that could he paid to an On- tario farmer employing ten "steady" farm hands. With its location, part of it right within the town limits of Port Dover — "the Delightful" — where could one find a more beautiful set- ting for • farm?The Boil is a light sandy loam, admirably suited for the purpose of poultry raising. Its high fertility, kept so by this master farmer, makes for an abundance of vegetation. In fact, four big stacks of grain in the sheaf at the barna testified to overflowing crop produe- tion and to barns that must be built yet greater. The land being rolling is ideally drained. The trees, the crops, the barns, the poultry houses, hundreds of them located over the farm, the adorable setting of the home and grounds surrounding skirting the dreamy Silver Lake just north of Port Dover, make of the Martin landscape a perfect rural vista. The vine -clad spacious house, built some fifteen years ago, stands back of a beautiful lawn on three sides, well trimmed, with winding drives and walks sloping up to the brow of the low hill above Silver Lake. The old home, also beautiful and vine -clad, now serves as the farm office, where the correspondence is handled. Six to seven stenographers, under the systematic direction of Mrs. Martin, here take care of en- quiries and orders that come "from the ends of the earth" and 'all over" for the exhibition -laying White Wyandottes. It has been said that the shipper on Martin's farm staff knows more about the geography of this old earth than most salt water sailors, and he learned it by routing White Wyandotte* over the Seven Seas. And that if an "old bird" re -union could be held at Silver Lake Farm what a home coming there would be. There would be old birds from Maine to Mexico, from Halifax to Vancouver, from the Argentine, Brazil and Chile, from South Africa, Australia, China„ from the British Isles and from many centres in Continental Europe, including Ger- many; a select group from Alla- habad College, 400 miles inland from Calcutta, India; and oodles of them from Japan. There would be growings in forty different Languages and cackling* in as many dialects, and the 7,000 to 8,000 White Wyan- dottes domiciled on the farm would surely think Babel had returned." Now, how came all this success? The knowledge of mating, breed - ng and selection; of feeding, wash - ng, training and conditioning, and of many other details of care and handling before the birds are ready or the exhibition coops, where Hon. Mr. Martin has won such fame, onstitutes almost a science in it - elf. Then let us see how be tarted: The love of fowls was, in all pro- bability, inherited by Hon. Mr. Mar- tin. It is told how his great- grandmother reatgrandmother used to take him with her to the poultry yard when she went to feed the fowls, helping him to toddle by her side with a scarf around his chest. Being raised on a farm and always a poultry fancier means something in the develop- ment of any hreeder. Thirty years ago Jock Martin got his first pure- breds, some light Brahmas, In 188.5 his father bought for him a trio of Barred Rocks, and he raised this breed for seventeen years just as a hobby—but he made no business of selling! Some time later he obtained the White-faced Black Spanhh fowl and kept them for two years, adding to them the White ieghorns, which he kept for five yearn. Whitt. Cochin* were kept during 1891-1892, and a- bout that time he had Brown Leg - horns. too. After disposing of all the White Leghorns he tried the Part- ridge Cochins and the Langshans, all the time keepfag Barred Plymouth Rocks. Late in the 90's, before the White Wyanelottes were finally decid- ed upon as hest adapted to his pur- pose, some Gniden Wyandotte" and White Minorcas were kept. It was the fine layings of the Golden Wyan- dnttes that led him t:o take up the white variety. He started keeping White Wyan- dottes during the year of the Pan- American Exposition, 1901. He saw them in great numbers at this "World's Fair," and got more of them for himself. In 1009, noting splendid .1 ehmeacteristlos of original W 1%Orj Wyandotte founds stock, he de - diad to teaks them sole spec*Ity, The result" were it ggrratifyinngg that the keeping of White Weatdott s be- earua his main Deco on, with sdxed general farming to ack it up and provide the unihni range so nec- essary for the gree t success with ask Some years ago, ring that there was a demand ford -to -lay stock, Hon.

She was hatched ht Februerq and began laying early in the Fall, In her first year's laying she made a splendid record of 941 eggs, This female he named "Darras" and de- cided to make uae of her to build up a flock of heavy layers. This ben and her mate, a fine, vigorous cockerel bred from a hen with a re- cord of 206 eggs in one year, is the basis of the Martin stock and of his successes over the past 18 years when for 17 years hand -running he took all the. regular leading prizes at the New York State Fair at Syracuse; prizes at Madison Square Garden, New York; Heart of America Show at Kansas City, Mo.; Mstne Laying Con- tests, Canadian Champion Laying Contests, etc. All his life, Hon.
