FARMERS AT OTTAWA
(Continued from page 1)
by Premier Borden of our war
needs and
the drastic measures necessary to keep
the old flag flying at the front. Canada
cannot afford to yield in patriotism to
the United States, which country does
not believe that its democracy is threat-
ened by extending selective conscription
to fanners' sons. Union Government did
not issue its edict lightly. In fact ti e
Government was strongly opposed to in-
terfering with tate farther at all and .it was
mili-
tarythe explicit revelations of the nili-
tary authorities that finally swung
Cabinet opinion the other way.
A great deal has been said about the
Government's refusal to allow the farmers
to pursue their grievance on the floor of
the House, The case of Samuel Gompers
is cited. The Labor King was accorded
the privilege of addressing the House but
his case is not on all fours with that of
..the farmers. King Samuel came with a
message of good will and inspiration - a
pull -all -together speech -he aired no
grievances save those against the Hun.
What the farmers wanted was to hold a
post-mortem on a grievance that was
buried some hours before. If all the
objectors to ,conscription were given a
hearing on the floor of the House, the
King's business would bs months behind
instead of weeks ahead as it is in this
• short sharp win -the -war session. The
idea is to win the war first and thresh out
the grievances afterwards.
The farmers can hardly' have failed •to
noticethat if Union Government chasten-
• ed •with its left hand, it blessed with its
• light. In the near future we are to have
Government-owned railways, operated for
service, for reasonable dividends to the
investors,•and•not for the swollen fortunes
of railway magnates. Some day or other
the ..C. P.• R, may be absorbed by the
people, but meanwhile its presence as a
'competitor with the Government railways
should have -a good effect in checking
loose business management simply because
the railways are public property. Ulti-
mately the farmer should reap the benefit
. of Government ownership of railw
a s in
reduced freight rates, and the consumer in
t•the, educe'd cost of living. -
Mr. Arthur.' Hawkes tells the farmers
that our fine Canadian constitution has
been undermined. Mr. Hawkes worries'a
great deal over our constitution -sits up
at•nights with it, moans in his sleep, and
shows other signs of disturbance. But
really oar constitution is in no great
danger. ' The reformers have taken the
wine'out of our tonic, and the Food Con-
troller has cut out the beef, but we are
• having a pretty good dose of blood and
iron to make up for it. After the war
our• :constitution will be stronger than
ever. What an appetite we will have for
constructive legislation! We will be as
hungry as a fat man after an attack of

HE arrival of spring brings
up the question, "When and
how shall 1 set my bees, out
of the Cellar?" to the minds
of all farmer beekeepers. The an.
wer ecalls for judgment on the part
f emit beekeeper. The factors whicls
ust take a part in forming eorreet
udgnAent are (I) the cellar, (2) the
is
bees, and (3) theseaso ,
The ideal cellar will permit the
beekeeper to keep his trees confined
much longer than will an unfavo
raole
cellar. This is desirable. A fairly
dry, dark, easily regulated and' venti-
lated cellar wLen the temperature
can be mainta.uned at 45 degrees
Fahr. le ideal. Very few Ontario
meet these: require -
farm cellars will.
.Bents, however, eo that the weather
conditions play ..t more prominent
part iu the fa,mter'�-beekeeper's deci-
sion.
As a rule, the farmer -beekeeper
will do well to carefully select op-
portune wcat-lser and to give the col-
ony some pc .ection after setting out.

A pull on the rope, and down the air -

lifted clear of the water. The dynamite he
placed on a dry ledge above, and then with
drill and hammer attacked the face of the
rock. As he worked, supported uncertain-
ly on a sloping foothold, his strength, al-
ready sorely tried, drained swiftly away.
Ile had chosen a spot to drill as far up as
he could reach, but even so it seemed that
the water must reach it first.
"Watch the hole, Nan," he said. "If the
water gets there first the dynamite will not
explode and we shall all be drowned."
His fingers worked frantically while the
water rose higher and higher continually
Casey, with features drawn tense strain-
ed his ears at the entrance to the main
shaft, for the sound of the explosion which
should already have come. The seconds
went by; they grew to minutes. Still the
blast did not come. There was no sound
from Gwyn. The distance down the shaft
to the flooded tunnel below was too great
for Casey to hear whether or not the drill
was working. He became worried and
was about to attempt to have himself
lowered below when, with a mighty blast,
the 'earth shook beneath his feet. He
straightened, releived; Gwyn must have

distance ahead of them was the precipice
over which the flood waters were pouring
into the river hundreds of feet below.
Towards this cliff they were being carried
helplessly with a speed that made them
depair in the face of their apparently in-
evitable -doom, Even now as they peered

bathing with hot water. Poultices
can be applied by. using a piece oY
'cloth or canvas, with. hole cut for
the protrusion of the teats and fas-
tening it by strings or straps ovei

of poultices of the proprietory pre-

gives good results. The fluid should
be drawn from each quarter 4 or 6
times daily and after each milking
the udder should be well massagea
and rubbed with camphorated til.

tained its substitution by goose -

Suddenly just as it seemed as though
they must go over, and when they were
almost close enough to the edge to see the
river below, Gwyn's body struck a huge
boulder projecting upward beneath thee
surface. IIis body striking this on the
side as it did, was thrown to within almost
arm's reach of the shore, Nan who had
been clinging desperately to him, was
turned toward the land also. Gwyn
grasping this slender hope with the frenzy
of a man facing death, exerted all strength
in one superhuman effort, and managed
to grasp the limbs of a bush growing near
the water's edge, Clinging to this tightly
he pulled Nan to safety and together they
clamoured safely to the land .

results with the potato crop, it is
always better to plant them not later
than the 15th of May. This yeas

A few minutes later the wet and be-

search of them.
"Heavens, man," Casey cried joyously

"Where were you trapped," Hogan in-

were."

would take a stranger a week to find his
way out."
"Well now that you're all safe and back
again," Hogan said, "I'll get along to
town. There are a lot of things that I
have to attend to before I've got my new
job well under way. I'll leave my dog
out here with you. You may need him,
he's as good a policeman as any sheriff
that Lost Mine has seen in the last twelve
years."
Gwyn and Nan laughed and bade Hog-
an goodbye. Nan patted the dog and
assured herself of his friendship. .
And
now, Gwyn and his wife, feeling secure
and tired from their racking experience,
prepared to rest for awhile and then go
about straightening things again as soon
as the water in the mine had flowed out
entirely, so that work could be resumed.
He did not intend to allow any time to be
lost -matters in New York were becoming
too serious for that.

The bushes that hid from view the old
entrance to the cinnabar mine -the shaft
that had been in use by Don Carlos and
had been abandoned since Gwyn had
taken charge and opened the main shaft -
parted slowly, and the figure of a man ap-
peared moving cautiously along. Von
Bleck and his little band of confederates
lowered their revolvers. which- they had
raised, ready for action, when they saw
who the new arrival was. He had been
sent some time before, to see how matters
developed at the mine. Now he was re-
turning with the news. As he came up to
the old shaft entrance, the agent of the
Central Powers waited anxiously to hear
the report.
"It didn't work," the spy confided.
The flood almost did away with Gwyn and
the girl, but they got out alright. Two
men were killed, but that doesn't accomp-
lish anything." `"I dont care about their
being safe," Von Bleck said impatiently,
"I'm not trying to murder my' enemies -
I'm trying to beat them. What I'm after
is to destroy the mine. so that they can't
get any cinnabar to the enemies of my
country. Tell me, did the flood ruin the
mine?"

"No the other answered. "If the water
had stayed in the mine it was sodeep that
they couldn't have worked there, but
Gwyn blew out the wall, and let the water
out. Everything is all right now. The
mine has been empty about two hours,
and when I came •over Gwyn was just
going down into the shaft with a shift of
mento start work again. We'll have to
find another way to put the place out of
business."
Von Bleck, though discouraged by the
news of his failure, did not despair. The
other way was already found, and prepar-
ations had been begun even before the
man had arrived to report the failure of
the flood.
"If water fails," Von Bleck said, with a
crafty smile, "we'll try fire. Drant," he
called turning to that individual, "you
and Rawls get the explosives ready and
lay the wires. Bring me the fuse and we
will give this old mountain the biggest
earthquake its ever seen."
Drant was'in action before Von Bleck
had finished speaking. He and Rawls,
aided by two or three others, disappeared
through the old entrance into the mine,
carrying with them sticks of explosives
and fuses the ends of which were held by
Von Bleck. In a few minutes they ap-
peared without the sticks.
"Everything's ready," Rawls announc-
ed. "But you're not going to set off the
charge when Gwyn and the others are in
the mine working, are you? We might as
well wait until they get out. This new
guy, Hogan, might not be so easy in deal•
ing out the law as Causley was, and there's
no use taking chances." -
"The devil with Hogan!" Von Bleck
cried angrily, "I'm here to destroy that
mine and I'm going to destroy it. If a
couple of people have to die its better
than waiting until my whole nation is
wiped out by the stuff they're getting.
Come, now, get back. I'm going to let
her blow. As soon as this first charge
goes off and the smoke clears away a bit -
I've planted some smoke bombs, too, to
keep anyone from going down and putting
out the fire—you and Drant have got to
go in and lay another blast. One more'll
do the job up fine, and I want to be sure
that I end this whole business right here
while I have the chance. Clear away!
Get back!"
With these words Von Bleck lighted the
wires inhis hand, and a little, flickering,
spitting flame went sputtering along the
fuse. The group watched the fire as it
danced down, ignited another fuse which
had been "bushed onto it, so that several
charges would be released simultaneously,
and ran along into the darkness of the
mine entrance.
The face of another person than Von
Bleck would have been clouded with hor-
ror at such a moment. But the actions
of this strong man were impossible to ac-
count for. At times he seemed human
almost sympathetic, reluctant to carry
his aims to disastrous extents. Now he
was stolid, unrelenting, uncannily cold,
as he watched the fuse burn nearer and
r tothe charge that meant destruc.
nearer i; a

For more than a century the mak-
ing of mats from bulrushes and other
varieties of rushes has been a, house
industry in the province of Overys-
sel, along the `Guider Zee, from
which the province extends eastward
to the German herder. Men, women
and children aro engaged in the
work, Before the war large quanti-
ties of mats were imported from
Germany. This having ceased, mat -
making in Overvssel has greatly in-
creased. In districts along the Zuidor
Zee the industry is conducted largely
for the purpose of freeing swamp
lands from rushes so` that they Can
be drained and made arable. Much
good farts land has thus been pro-
duced, particulatiiy in recent' years,
since Companies and municipalities
have taken charge or supervision of
'this industry. ---Family Herald.
