TRE WINGHAM ADVANCE BEEF TRUST NO MYTtI t A representative of the Toronto Telegram recently visited the Stock yards in that city, and secured in- formation that would indicate the following ;- That the big meat interests are getting their bends on the whole cat* tie industry of the province, That the commission dealers are being whipped into line by threats e.nd more than threats of the big farrn,s and forced to leave the city in. stitution, That they in turn are taking the drovers away from the city yards. That the few smaller slaughter house hien are in immediate danger of being wiped out of existence by the meat trust. That price fixing is the weapon that is being used by the big meat in- terests. That the boycott is another lever to force dealers to leave the city yards. "Anybody who says there is no beef trust doesn't know anything about it," said one of the buyers at the city cattle market to The Tele- gram. You just need to see the change that has taken place in this luarket in the last few months, and talk to some of the commission rnen and drivers to find out about it. There were twenty buyers here this morning and only seven cars of cattle received. There used to be seventy dealers here in better days, but even the twenty that are here this morn- ing would buy three times as many animals as have come in and at good prices. Another man ventured the opinion that the whole Ontario cattle industry would eventually be under the control of the big packing ring if things went on as they are going. Hold On 1.

Last week, the Herald - Times reported the following :-Hav- ing armed themselves with a marriage license, which they purchased from Mr. T. E. Attwood here, a big stal- wart from Greenock, and a blushing bride-to-be from Hamilton, repaired to the Methodist parsonage for the ostensible purpose of being joined in the bonds of matrimony. The preach- er was about to open the sacred volume and ask the world why this young couple shouldn't wed, when the bride suddenly knocked the wind out of his sails by declaring that she had changed her mind, and suiting the action to the word she wheeled around and walked out of the door as single as she had come in. Dropping a crip- pled wing the groom followed after her, but all his entreaties didn't in- duce her to come back again. The friends of the groom who were out- side ready to extend congratulations and throw confetti, probably felt like heaving rocks at the bus as the bride - elect got aboard and was driven to the station preparatory to returning to her home in Hamilton. A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. An eminent scientist, the other day, gave his opinion that the most won- derful discovery of recent years was the discovery of Zeal -Bok. Just think ! As soon as a single thin layer of Zam-Buk is applied to a wound or a Sore, such injury is insured against blood poison ! Not one epeciee of mic- robe has been found that Lam-Buk does not kill 1 Then again, As soon as Z3m•Buk is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to skin diseases, it stop the smarting. That is why children are Buell friends of Zatn•Buk. They care nothing for the science of the thing. All they know is that tam -Buis stops their pain. Mothers should never forget this. Again, As soon as Zaan-13uk ie ap• plied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the skin's surface are so sthnulated that new henithy tissue is quickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue, from below is Zam•Iitik's secret of healing, The tissue thus formed is worked up to the Rurfece and literally caste off the aieetseed tissue above it. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent. Only the other day Mr, Marsh, of 101 Delorirnior Ave., Montreal, called upon the Z,im=Buk lo, and told them that for over twenty-five years he had been a martyr of eczema, ilia hands were at one tithe so Covered with sores that he had to sleep itt gloves. b'nir yearn ago Zain•Bnk wee intro. deiced to him, and In a few months it cttrecl hint.

The strongest and most honest opponents of the Con- servative leader all pay their meed of praise to the dignity and high mind which he has exhibited as the chef representative of the Dominion of Ca- nada, and his first visit as Canadian Premier to the Mother Country in the year of grace 1912, bag stamped hien as a leader whom all delighted to honor, ** 4 -During recent years the sheep in- dustry bas been steadily declining. In some provinces sheep have almost completely disappeared. To -day Ca. radian farms are not only not produc- ing sufficient for the home market, but New Zealand mutton is actually being shipped into Western Canada. Only five years ago Canada exported sheep to the value of one and one- quarter millions and last year less than four hundred thousand dollars. Only $2,134 worth of mutton was ex- ported in 1911. The encouragement of this decaying indu3try is one of the problem?, which Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture, has under- taken. He secured the sympathy and active co-operation of the Dominion Sheep Breeders' Ase aciation. A com- mittee from the association was ap- pointed to work with the officials of the department in investigating the problem and in suggesting ways and means of encouraging the industry. -The "larger market" promise be- gins to lose its charm when brought into conflict with the cold. truth as contained in actual market prices. Here is a comparison of one day's prices, as published in the Winnipeg Telegram :-No. 1 Northern sold at Minneapolis, for 92ec per bushel ; at Winnipeg it sold for $1.06fr per bushel. No. 2 Northern sold at Minneapolis, for 88ee' per bushel ; at Winnipeg it sold for $1.91 per bushel. Oats sold at Minneapolis from 27i to 30c per bushel; at Winnipeg they sold from 39 to 4010 per bushel. Barley sold at Minneapolis from 30 to 05e per bushel ; at Winnipeg it sold from 46 to 50c per bushel, Sir Wilfrid Laurier was quite prepared to go out to the west- ern provinces and talk picturesque generalities as he used to do, and as people use to let him do. When be was told that the West wanted more than rhapsodies, the tour was "post- poned." *** -One of the first problems which Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture, tackled when he took office was the re -organization of the Dominion's system of experimental farms. He found the farms were in many cases run down, the barns were out of repair, the farins were not up- to-date, they were not proving of value to the agriculturalist ; they were not in other words real experimental farms, where farm problems could be worked out and solved. Last winter Mr. Burrell called a conference of the superintendents of the farms through• out the Dominion. They met in Ot- tawa, discussed amongst themselves mutual problems and talked over with the minister ways and means of int_ proving their work, so that the re- sult of their investigations can be of permanent benefit to the agricultural community. Mr, Burrell's energetic policy is already bearing fruit. The barns and properties of the Experi- mental Farms all over the Dominion are being improved. The superin- tendents are taking a keener interest in their work and they are extending their activities. Efforts also are be- ing made to have the Experimental Farms of each district deal more effectually with local agricultural pro- blems. ° Parisian Sage For Women.

Pasture Pays Fair Profits Even en Nigh Priced Land, 1 believe very good returns may be had from pasturing Iowa land, even at the present high farm values, writes E. Elijah of Iowa in the Orange Judd Farmer. This is not mere theory, for 1 actually retain one-third of my 240 acre farce in permanent blue grass pas- tures as a matter of profitable prac- tice For the past eight years I have kept figures on one forty acre field, no portion of which has been plowed since fourteen years ago. My average re- turns have been something over $10 per acre above taxes on the land and interest on the money invested in the cattle, so I feel that I am not merely guessing when 1 say that a profit can be wade from pasture, even on $200 land, My profit Is made by turning blue grass into beef. Every spring I buy enough steers to stock the pasture for the summer. Usually I pick them up, a few in a place, from my neighbors Who have more cattle than pasture. As a rule, I have had little difficulty in getting steers weighing from 750 to B00 pounds. I like to get steers about two years of age with plenty of frame, which have been roughed through the winter without much grain. I take the larger steers is preference to the yearlings, because they make grass into fat, while the younger steers are growing and so are more nearly ready for market when fall comes. The young steers may grow more The Galloway is the oldest of the pure breeds of cattle, and during the centuries covering the period of its early development it has been accustomed to outdoor life. The breed Is native to southwest Scot- land, where the custom among farmers is to winter their cattle in the open. Long experience has proved that they thrive better and make more progress during the suc- ceeding summer when wintered in the open air than under cover. The Galloway bull shown was a prize 'winner last fall. pounds in proportion to the grass they eat, but this difference Is more than offt set by the higher price per pound of the larger and fatter steers. To make prime beef the youngsters have requir- ed 150 days, while the two -year-olds have landed near the top of the mar- ket wttth ninety days of heavy feeding. This 1.1:why I prefer the heavier cattie to startawith. Last year 1 pastured only twenty- eight head on the forty acres and cleared more than $12 per acre. The year 1909 I had thirty-two head of black and white faces and had them en the pasture for only five and a halt tnonths. They cleared up a good, strong $12 per acre. One year, a little wetter than usual, I took off 10,000 pounds more meat in the fall than 1 put on in the spring, and most of the time that summer I kept just thirty head of steers. There are two or three factors in the management of my pas- ture that I think nave contributed largely to my success. In the first place 1 do not overstock. A couple of years forty steers were run on the forty acres. and they seemed to make very satisfactory gains, yet these prosy ed to be thti .years of smallest profit. The smaller number seem in the fall to warrant the use of but about thirty head. Another item in favor of the lesser number of steers is the smaller amount of money invested and the consequent less interest to pay.
