Nearing The Cross -Roads.
(Fe= Ridgetown Dominion.)
Once Canada commences to play the
navy game, good-bye to any hopes
now hold of curtailing the. annual ex-
penditure, The millions upon millions
added yearly of late to the annual out-
lay have been excused because we are
building the Grand Trtnnk Pacific.
Building a railway is an expensive
business, but is merely child's play
compared with the building of a navy,
Canada according to present plans is
to start with a composite fleet of thir-
teen small vessels, a number of ill -
omen by the way. The 'cost of the
thirteen with suitable dockyards will
total up quite a tidy sum to be charged
to capital, or in other words added to
the country's debt, upon which inter-
est charges must be paid for all time
to come. But besides, there will be
the yearly bill to pay for the up -keep
of the ships and dockyards, and the
salaries of officers and men. Then as
time passes the cry will be for more
ships, meaning of course more millions
in taxes tube wrung out of the people
either directly or indirectly. In time
of peace Canada's navy will be orna-
mental, aside from the wider field it
will afford for contractors friendly to
the Government to furnish supplies
for the fleet at "Arctic" and "Mont -
calm" prices. If war should come,
real war, of what avail would be our
puny fleet against the great ships of
the foe, or of what assistance to the
British fleet, in the tremendous sea
battle that must be fought according
to rule, in the British Channel or
North Sea.
The question of Canada's duty to
the Empire at the present time, and
what part she shall play in the Im-
perial wars of the future is a difficult
one to decide, and should not be de-
cided without due consideration of
Canada's duty to herself. Candidly
speaking, under present conditions,
we see little use in a small Canadian
navy, of no service to either the Do-
minion or the Empire in case of need.
Situated as we are, such a navy might
meet the present needs of an indepen-
dent Canada for in that ease we should
have no fear from Great Britain's ene-
mies. But if it is our desire to always
remain an integral part of the British
Empire, "for better or for worse,"
then we believe our best play is to
strengthen the central naval force of
the Empire and make the Imperial
fleet impregnable.
In truth, Canada just now is fencing
with the question, although fighting
shy of acknowledging it :
"Shall it be Independence or Im-
perialism with all that both words
imply ?"
The compromise of a Canadian fleet
is the outcome of a conference at
which those who attended it feared to
face and decide the great question
which must be decided sometime, and
that perhaps soon. The Canadian -
made fleet under Canadian control is
a concession to "Independence." The
fleet to be officered for a time at least
by British naval men, is the one string
holding to Imperialism.
We approach the cross-roads and
must soon turn either to the right or
the left.

Ploughing By Steam.
, Though not entirely new, a novelty
in these parts of Ontario was witness-
ed on an Oxford farm recently, when
steam was used for ploughing per-
poses. Reeve W, Forbes of West
Zorra, a progressive farmer, hitched a
traction threshing engine to two dou-
ble plows, turping four furrows at
once, and started into a 22 acre field,
which he finished in four days, a
much less cost than plowing in the
ordinary way. The experiment was
watched with a great deal of interest,
and plowing with an engine may be-
come general; if it can be proved that
the cost is less. Coal and wood are
both used as fuel.
Telegraph Line Bought.
The Goderioh Signal says :—A few
days ago the connection at the (lod-
erich of lee of the 0, N, W, Telegraph
Co, with the line running north along
the lake shore to Kincardine was
severed, the reason being that the
company had sold the line to J. W,
Mayes, who purchased it for use in
connection .with the Onterio West
Shore .Railway., The Railway Com-
pany intends to convert it into a tele-
phone line and will do its dispatching
by telephone, Telephone instruments
have been purchased and will be
placed at Dunlop, Sheppardton, Port
Albert, Kingsbridge, Kintail, Laugier,
Alnberley, Pine River and Kincardine,
and Mr, Moyes states that it is in-
tended to allow the public the uee of
the telephone line, free of charge.

An Immense Casket.
The casket for the late Jonathan
Miller was specially manufactured in
London by the Globe Casket Co. It
is the largest and most substantial
that firm ever turned out. Inside
measurements are as follows : — six
feet, six inches long, forty-five inches
wide, and 29. inches deep. There are
eight handles all of which are reinfor-
ced with iron stripes inside. It re-
quired eight strong men to carry and
would not permit of being slid into a
hearse, a special wagon having been
secured to convey it to the cemetery.
The outer shell was seven feet, eight
inches long, four feet, two inches
wide, and thirty-three inches deep.
Hogs Are' Scarce.
This of course refers to the four -
footed kind. That a scarcity of live
hogs exists throughout the Province
resulting in high prices and insufficient
supply has been ascertained by the
Ontario Department of Agriculture
from statistics recently received.
Specialists say that this occurs at
regular periods in the live stock in-
dustry, because the moment feed rose
in price, farmers sold their swine, and
went out of that kind of stock. Auto-
matically this created• a scarcity, and
sent the price up to its present level of
eight cents a pound for live animals.
The farmer who held to bis stock
through high or low feed prices was
the only one who reaped profits.
To Move Off A Cold.
Cough mixtures "dope" a cold—but
don't cure. Above all else, keep the
bowels regular and stimulate the
eliminating organs. More valuable
than any cough syrup are Dr. Hamil-
ton's Pills. They clear the system of
every trace of cold—the dull headache,
aching limbs and cough disappears.
Take the pills before retiring, they
work while you sleep, and by morning
your.cold is broken and passes quickly
away. All dealers sell Dr. Hamilton's
Pills in 25c boxes.
The Canadian Farm publishes a re-
view of the world's situation in regard
to hog, and hog products by the in-
spector of meats at Edinburgh, Scot-
land. This reviewer states that at Os,
per 112 lbs., (2c per lb.) for meal and
421. per 112 lbs., (Oc per lb.) for dead
pork, the British farmer can make
money at the business. How do these
figures compare with the cost of pro-
ducing hogs in Canada ? Meal at one
cent a lb. is considered dear feeding
for hogs, in thi3, country, even when
prices for hogs run up to $7 and $8
per cwt., live weight. If the British
farmer, with high rents to pay and
other things in proportion, can make
money in producing hogs on the basis
laid down surely the Canadian farmer,
who is touch more favorably situated
as to cost of land, feed, etc., should be
able to do so at the prices ruling here
for hogs and products. Canadian far-
mers should do some tall thinking just
here, and do it quick. Fanners else-
where find pork production a profit-
able business and are getting into the
game as fast as they can.

Ile had been confined to his bed for
the past eleven months. He did not
suffer from any particular disease,
having ,simply sank away under the

Why Eggs Are Dear.
People think that the price and the
scarcity of eggs is affected by the
climate. This is a wrong impression,
The two months of October and No-
vember are the worst months. Not
long ago the Ontario Agricultural Col-
lege at Guelph set aside eighty hens
under the conditions that prevail in
the average farm. A strict record
was kept of the laying of the bens,
and these are the interesting figures
that were secured : the "lay" for each
month was—January 777, February
791, March 1644, April 1939, May 1650,
June 1066, July 944, August 886, Sep-
tember 236, October 161, November
114, December 538.-
Black
38.Black And Green Tea.
Early writers speak of tea as having
two varieties. One Thea bohen, they
supposed to be the source of the black
and the other, Thea virdis, of the
green tea. But Robt. Fortune estab-
lished the fact in 1848 that, while these
two varieties existed, black and green
were made indifferently from both.
The tea flower is small, single, white
and has no smell. The seeds are three
small nuts, like filberts, and have an
oily and bitter taste. The leaves are
used. In China there are about three
crops annually, the first being gather-
ed as soon as the leaves break in the
spring, April to May, and the latter
as new "flushes" (buds), are made by
the plants which have been stripped
of their earlier foliage, this harvest
beginning in June or July and lasting
as late as Sept. or Oct, An almond,
eyed. Oriental, Lo Yi, the earliest
Chinese writer, pronounces this eulo-
gium on tea. "It tempers' the spirits
and harmonizes the mind, dispels las-
situde and relieves fatigue, atvakens
thought and prevents drowsiness,
lightens and refreshes the body and
clears the perceptive faculties."-
