THE WINfilia TIDES.
H. B. ELLIOTT, PIIBLISHIDI AND PRODRXDTOP
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1910
MR, PROUDFOOT'S VIEWS. f
The Toronto News is conducting a
symposium on the subjeot of the Dost of
living. Wm. Prondfoot, K O , M.P.P.
for Centre Huron, gives his views as
follows:
"In the county of Huron the farmer
during the past year hes had no .reason
tocomplain," he said.
"Prices for almost everything he
raises are high, and the quantity more
than an average, One thing that strikes
me, referring to my own business, is
the small number of farmers who re-
quire to borrow money.' Mortgagee are
being paid off and it is a rare occurrence
to find a farmer who increases a mort-
gage except to pay for an additional
tarns
"The prices of live stook range at
present, for butcher cattle 4% to 5,
hogs 8%. chickens 70e to 80o a pair,
while butter is 23o and eggs 30 cents a
dozen.
"The consumer is the man who is
the worst off, and partioalarly the wage
earner. While wages have not in the
last few years gone up more than from
10 to 20 per cent., the Dost of living bas
quite doubled.
MENDING THE SENATE.
(Toronto Star.)
The St. John Telegraph says that in
Canada there seems to be no sentiment
lu favor of goverment by single chamber
• and that the Senate ought not to be
ended but "mended" by the appoints
meat of men of the highest close. The
idea sounds attractive, but it involves'
an element of danger. The reason
there is no great popular outcry against
the Senate is that the Senate does not
assert itself If it is conspicuously
useful, it does no great harm, It is
tolerated, not admired; and the expense
of maintaining it is regarded with the
easy good -nature of a wealthy eom-
mnbtty.
But if an improvement in personnel
were accompanied by a greater degree
of assertiou of the power of the Senate
more serious difficulties might arise.
Tho mode of appointing Senators is
radtoally wrong, and the wrong cannot
be remedied by the utmost oare in se•
lection. Su epos° we ha I a Senate coin -

ers, doctote, la.%lela,bar kers,merchantr,

TALLEST MEN IN EUROPE.
Mr. John Gray, Secretary of the
Agthropometrioal Committee of the
British association has given out some
interesting statistics with regard to the
stature of the people of Hawn.
The aristocracy, landed. gently, And
cultured profeseioral clamp he says,
are improving in stature but diminish-
ing in number. The artisl,n chits is
holding its own in height and number.
The laboring alas -the term inolndes
the nnskilled millions of the people in
the Blume, even the vagrants --is per-
ceptibly declining in stature while it
inoreesee more rapidly in numbers than
either of the other two. These condi-
Mons apply not only to this country but
praotioally to all Europe,
Some of the interesting facts mention-
ed by Mr, Gray may be summarized.
Sootohmen are the tallest men in Europe,
(average height, 5 feet 8 inohes) ; then
comes Scandinavia and Engish, (5 feet
6 inches), and German, Fronds and
Italian.
"The English race," said Mr. Gray,
`'ie naturally tall, Thus a decline in
stature for ns might reasonably be said
to spell a decline also in physical and
mental energy, The stature of our
manufacturing classes has been rednoed
far below the average of the country.
The shortest people I have measured are
those in the great towns of Yorkshire
and Lancashire. They have through
new conditions of life, beoozne elaite a
different type from the dwellers in the
oonntry.
WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
Fr
( om the "Chicago Inter Ocean.")
As Mr. Sheldon has undertaken to tell
the editor what Jesus would do, or
would not do, if he were an editor, it
may not be amiss for an editor to tell
hint what Jesus would do, or would not
do, if he were a minister,
If Jesus were a minister, he would
never accept money for teaching men
the wayof life and salvation. Least of
all wo'hld he hire himself out by the
year to a society, and bind himself to
preach certain doctrines at pertain times
and places, instead of keeping himself
free to follow the leadings of the Divine
Spirit in all things, He would never
hire himself out to preach to a wealthy,
fashionable moiety, and then in order to
gratify those who paid hie salary, preaoh
an emasculated gospel. He would tell
them plainly that it was easier for a
shad to olimb a tree, than for pertain of
his parishioners to get to heaven. Of
ouzo Jesus would never ohange one
field for another simply because he
might be offered a larger salary.
If Jeans were a minister, he not
only would not be engaged in any
money making schemes, bat he would
not seek to acquire competency, nor to
own his own home. He would sot on
the principle that if his became absorbed
in good work that he forgot himself he
would be miraoulonsly provided for,
I?•Jeeus were a minister, he would
not preaoh many set sermons, His time
would be entirely taken up in works of
practical charity, and his teaching would
be merely the framework of his deeds Of
love to suffering humanity.
When Jesue preached, he would not
preach on the moral influence of rail-
roads nor on the Bacon -Shakespeare
controversy, nor on the necessity of the
free coinage of silver, Ha would never
turn aside from the vital truths of re-
ligion merely to attract a crowd, ot to
gut his name in the net, spapets the next
morning.
fIf /one were a minister, he would
dress deoen$ly and comfortably, but he
would pat Waste a oent on fine clothing,
and he would never Wear 4awetry, If
Deana were a minister, he would not, as
soon as the Weather grew warm, Coin+
plaain of
brdin fag, awl go
moss the
Ocean to Etircpean pleasure resorts, liv-
tug in frivolity, and 000asionally go

hide himself in sante desert in Arizona
and pass
a month in tinging ng and prayer.
if Jenna were a minister, he. Would

He would never be a favorite with the

THE PRIDE OF SCOTLAND.
We have been handed the following
clipping, and as the question of bettor
roads is beooming a live one we insert it
for the benefit of our readers:
In the green hills of Scotland are to be
found some of the finest roads in
Europe. This is the case not only in
the well -populated districts, but in the
Draggy mountainous parts where poor
highways might bo expected.
The farmers of Scotland do not have
to spend their ttme improving the roads,
but work where their training tette to
the beat advantage, namely, on the
farm.
The roads are under the management
of the county and borough councils, and
are looked after by engineers and in-
speotors in charge of staffs of workmen
engaged because of their knowledge of
this class of labor. Whore the work is
not done by the oonnolla themselves,
the inepeotor advertises for tenders for
so many miles of road, and the contract-
ors must do the work up to speoifioa•
tion. Particular attention is paid on the
Scottish roads to the material which
enters into the foundations and the mar -
face dressing. This is always of the
hardest material obtainable in respects
ive localities through which the roads
pass.
The moment that a rut or hollow is
notices it is immediately repaired, and in
consequence the Scottish roads have be-

Natural, Hot Water Products Near the
Arctic Circle,
Wbat is perlrlips the tlan.tt remarlts-
ble farm in the warld Is located 1*
Alaska on a small tributary of the
;Tanana river, only 124 tulles south of
the arctic circle, 11 is owned and

a few years ago was .engaged In Joint-
ing gold when he came acrose. tains-
thing wbicb astonished hien very
much, It was a little stream of not
water. Ile traced the stream to a
sprint;, which was likewise bot, and
it presently became obvious that a
considerable area was underlaid by
such springs.Promptly deciding that
this was a discovery more profitable
than a gold arsine, Karshner gave up
prospecting, obtained a quantity of
vegetable seeds of various kinds and
started in to raise garden truck.
The temperature in that region
sometimes fails to 65 degrees below
zero in winter, but a natural system
of hot water heating, free of cost, was
just the thing for truck gardening
near the arctic circle, where potatoes
have a market value of 25 cents a
pound and other vegetables bring
prices in proportion.
The Karshnel' farm occupies t flat
area with a convenient slant toward
the south, Hot water oozing out of the
ground forms three small streams,
which empty into the nearby river.
The warm spring extends over a dis-
tance of about a mile, and, as the
owner says, "the beat in the ground
has to be felt to be believed." He
adds: "I have never, seen vegetables
€.row as they do here. The place bas
it climate of its own. Often there is
no frost when it is freezing every-
where else."
The hot water farmer has seventy
bens, ire has also six fine pigs. His
crop of potatoes this year will be 100
tons, at 350 bushels to the acre: To-
bacco has made a great growth. I'o-
matoes are a success, Squashes of
several kinds are grown. some of them

most successful to be fount north of
the arctic circle. Ile protects bis
young cabbages from trost on cold
nights by covering them with beer bot•
ties, the bottoms and necks of which
have been knocked off. In these niacin.

and by June 10, when they have grown
sufficiently to 611 the bottles, they are
uncovered. In the first week of Sep-
tember they are Harvested. •
In central Florida pineapples are
largely grown nowadays under sheds
of lattice. These sheds, elevated on
posts at a height of about seven feet
from the ground usually, in some in.
stances cover as much as ten acres of
land. Their main object is to protect
the growing fruit against frost, though '
it is claimed that pineapples raised
under thein are more delicate in tex-
ture and of superior flavor.
In market gardens near Boston mei-
ens are grown in slings so that they,
will ripen erenly. Muskmelons are
grown ou arbors, each fruit being sup-
ported by a piece of board about a
root square, on which it is turned e'

Every poultry raiser knows what a
feed Hopper is and how it saves a
waste of feed. It may be made of
:cod. but galvanized iron (No. 26) is
better. Such a one as is shown in the
illustration will hold about sixty
pounds of meal or 100 pouuds of grain.
