ELLIOTT, PUBLIQHER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1910 THE GOVERNMENT AND THE FARM ERS. ther regret, that the Hydro Electrio Commission, in aeouring easements for a tranemieaion line, did not pnreue any syetematio and .egniteble plan for the parohase of said Casements, but prao• fixed a(system of browbeating and diokerIng entirely' unworthy of this provinoe,, and one whioh has led to absolutely inequitable results as to. the. amounts paid the farmers for the said easements." (The Financial Post of Canada ) The methods of the Hydro -Electric Commission of the Government in ac- quiring easements for its eleotrical transmission line were ander review in the Provincial Parliament last week, Mr. McKay, Opposition leader; Mr, Mayberry, of South Oxford, and Mr. S. Clark, of West Northumberland, were the chief critics ot the Govern. • ment's, methods, claiming that the agents of .the Government had, by threats ot arbitration proceedings, co• eroed the farmers into aooelting prices for the privileges• granted which were far below their actual valve. The methods of the agents were to say to the farmers: "The price offered is a fixed price, it is the same as all others are getting, if yon don't take it yon will be forced to arbitrate against the Government, Of course. yon will lose and will have to pay all costs and expenses; if you are not careful, indeed, you may lose a good share of the value of your farm," If the farmers had at the time suffi- cient backbone and refused to sign, new Government agents offered increased prices from time to time antil the farm- er was satisfied. In the majority of oases the farmers were afraid of the agents and settled, and the result is that many of them received less than they were entitled to and less than their neighbors were getting. An opportunity was taken by several members to condemn the conduct of the Government in changing the Hydro - Electric scheme, pointing out that the original Beck Act required that the contract be submitted to the ratepayers for their approval, that the power be delivered at the risk of the Government to each municipality at a fixed maxi- mum cost. The Government had changed clothes and had decided to make the municipalities go to Niagara Falls for their power, do.away with the maximum price, leaving it unlimited and nnatoertained.. At the oonolasion of hie address Mr. Molt ay moved '•This House, while hereby approving of alt legitimate marine of supplying cheap power to the mnnloipelitiee, fur• Eddaa� dly tut in.

Here in a nutshell is, the Liberal posi- tion on the naval question; , A Canadian navy. A Oanadian navy built in Canada. A Canadian navy built in Canada with Canadian money, A Canadian navy built in Canada with Canadian money, by Canadian working men. A Canadian navy built in Canada with Canadian money, by Canadian working men, and under the control of the Canadian Government in time of peace, and the British admiralty in time of war. Compare it with the Conservative attitude, or at least one of the attitudes, on the same question: To hand over to the. British Govern- ment at Ince a sum sufficient to pur. obese or build two Dreadnoughts (estimated at $25,000,000 ) Then to submit to the people the question, as to whether Canada shall have a navy of her own. DON'T DISPOSE OF GOOD MARES. If ever "pigs were pigs," horses are certainly horses now, says the Canadian Farm. Buyers who are looking for pure -bled Clydesdale mares are com- plaining that they have been looking all over Ontario for the goods,- and while they can find a good many men who have sold enoh animals as they want. the number with the goods ready to sell is very small, and they are hard to find. Ontario horsemen have disposed of their pare -bred stock to an extent approach- ing the danger line. Prides have been more liberal than ever before, and too many owners have taken advantage of the chance to turn their goods into cash, It is to tie regretted that so many good mares have been sold out of Ontario and scattered widely. There has never been a time when it was harder to acquire a good one than at present, and this being true, it stands to reason that breeders who have sold their producing stock, will, for a year or two be compelled to put np with reduced incomes. Selling good breeding mares is a good deal like eating one's own cake. One cannot sell them and keep them too. HOW DANISH FARMERS ' PROSPER. international Newspaper' Bible Study Course.

The Danish, farmers, .living as they do on or near the seacoast, are great exporters of dairy stuff.

Butlin in "Among the Danes" "they are not all of that way of thinking, for one farmer asked us if we could not persuade our fellow countrymen to eat butter with their oake. "If yon ask how the Danish farmers manage to keep pane with the British increasing appetite for Danish eggs, but- ter and bacon, the answer is they co- operate. The batter whioh is exported is made in their co-operative dairies: The pigs are slain in their Oo•operative slaughterhouses, and the Danes are not a little proud of the process. One die- tingnished"traveller complains that dur- ing his stay in Denmark he was always being asked to come and see a pig kill- ed. The eggs are exported by co opera- tive societiea. It a DanO has only one egg he can export it -always provided it be a, good egg. No mistakes must be made about that, Before the eggs are packed for export, down in the co-oper- ative factory on the shore, they are held over a basin filled with electric light, When all defects can be deteoted with, the naked eye.

It is the most valuable thing yon have. Take a hint when it is intended for you. Don't wait to be knooked down. Take flattery as an insult, and an hon - eat compliment as something to be grateful for. Take offenoe only at things woyth be• ing offended at. It is a sure evidence of a small mind to notice .trifles! Take hold of any work that comes to your hand rather than be idle. Look always waits upon the busy man. Take trouble like a man. Don't go whining about when it comes, but shut your month and stand up under it reed• lately. a ' Take pains to do your work well. The conscious worker is the one who gete to the front -and the -one thata never needs be idle. Take care that yon make this day a model for all the days to oome-and then cody after it.

Americans led with 913 home- stead entries, and there were in addition, 43 returning Canadians from the United States. Entries by Canadians totalled 661. English immigrants took 331 homesteads, Scotch 97, and Irish 29. The remaining 413 homesteads taken np daring the month were 1'iy people from other European countries. A PITIFUL CASE. Man's inhumanity to man, as depicted in the SHincardine Review and enacted at) the Walkerton House of Refuge, is a re- cent and sad scene that has just oome to light. A000rding to the Review a man withont friends and without money was shipped from Kincardine to the- House of Refuge in the hopes that he might eke out the remnant of his days ander the hospitable roof of Bruce County's charit- able institution. Upon being examined by the House of Refuge physioiah he was found to be suffering from pulmonary tubetaulosis, and this additional anis- fortune whioh should have made him a greater object for ohatity had the opposite effect,,' and caused him to be turned adrift fro'm au institution that would have admitted him had he been less unfortunate. t nate The Graveahure t Sanitarium being fall, the man was un- able to gain admission there, and the Bruce County House of Refuge being closed against him, he was even denied that bare necessity of life -bread. Kind friends, line the ravens who fed 'Elijah, are meanwhile doling him out a miser• able pittance in the hope that some pet, son or institution may be prevailed upon to take np the oat°. The Review, on behalf of tae lingerer, is crying aloud for the eetabti hem s ant o institution f an in Walkerton or elsewhere in Brace where'thote enable to gain admittance to the House of Refuge niaj' bo cared for and treated, A small tiottage, pro. perly :provisioned and directed, Would probably fi11 the bill.
