TOWARDS LAND VALUE TAX
(By A, B. Farmer, Toronto.)
Ontario hasmade considerable ad-
vancement towards land value tax-
ation. The fact is the greater part of
the progress in the building up of our
tax system in. Ontario, not only data
ing the past fifty years, but during
the past ninety years, has been the
result of changes in this very direc-
tion.
By the Act of 1810 governing assess-
ments, horses, cattle, fire -places, and,
all kinds of presonal property were
heavily taxed, land in towns was
assessed £50 per acre if used, but
only 20s. as meadow -land, or 4s, as
wild land if unused—a very nice ar-
rangement, indeed, for the nonaresi-
dent speculator,
The Act of 1831, that practically cut
iu two the taxes on personal property
such ag horses, carriages, cattle, etc,,
and considerably increased the assess-
ment of vacant land, was aa, big step in
those days in the direction advocated
by the tax reformers to -day.
Another important advance in the
building up of our present tax sys-
tem in Ontario, was the abolition a
generation ago, as a result of a vigor-
ous agitation, of the assessment of
standing crops and live stock—again a
change in the direction of the removal
of taxes from the products of industry
and an increase in the taxation on
publicly -created land values.
A still more important advance was
that of the Assessment Act of 1902,
which provided for the aeperate assess-
ment of land and improvements in all
municipalities in Ontario, Previous
to that time, with the exception of
Toronto, and perhaps a few other
municipalities, land and buildings
were not separate in the assessment
roll.
By the Act of 1904, vacant Iand in
cities of fifty acres or more in extent,
might be assessed as farm lands, The
Government two years ago took an-
other step in advance in repealing
this clause, thereby increasing very
materially the taxation on large areas
of vacant land in the cities held for
speculation, and inducing the owners
to put it to use, or sell to those who
would.
The bad old system of 1819, which
let the speculator off so easily and
penalized the producer so heavily, is
being gradually displaced. The pro-
cess has been under way for ninety
years. The present Government has
lent a hand. And of all the changes
noted above, none were so slight, or
calculated to create so little disturb-
ance as the proposal embodied in the
Ellis and Rowell Bili, to allow muni-
cipalities more power in controlling
their municipal affairs at least to the
extent of taxing improvements, build-
ings, incomes, and business, at a lower
rate than land values.

The Hudsori Bay Railway.
Some information as to the route
of the proposed railway and the
northern terminus may be of inter-
est,
The Hudson Bay Railroad is 418
miles long and starts from the cross-
ing of the Saskatchewan River and
Pas Mission. The great bridge across
the river is under construction. A
branch of the Canadian Northern
Railway now runs from Prince Albert
northerly for 100 miles to the Mission,
almost on the 54th parallel, It is in-
tended that the Hudson Bay road
shall run from the Pas northeasterly
to the Bay.
To Port Nelson the distance is 41S
miles, and the engineers favored it as
the terminous. They reported that
the distance Was Blunter than to Port
Churchill by 80 miles ; that the natural
difficulties of the route were less
serious ; that construction would be
less costly ; that a better country
would be traversed and a better har-
bor secured.
It is contended by the engineers
that the Port Nelson route gives
gradients of 21 feet in the mile both
northward and southward. The Cost
is estimated at $17,000,000 to Nelson,
There must be added $5,000,000 to $7,-
000,000 for harbor works, for the ex-
ploration, lighting and buoying of
H dson Bay and for other necessary
easistance to navigation. Preba,bly
the cost of the whole enterprise will
not fall below $30,000,000.
It is alseo point Ed oub that the die-
tancre from the wheat fields to notion
Bay is practically the wane AEI to Port
William, at the head of Lake Superior,
tie the oeean voyage from the Bay
practically equals that from the St.
Lawrcence. Under favorable condi-
done, therefore, the eoonomie eaving
should be equivalent to the Oat of
THE WINGHAM ADVANCE
traueportation frons port William to
Montreal.
The advantage of this route to the
English markets for the products of
the West will depend in a great mea-
sure upon the success of navigating
these waters. It must be borne in
mind that the Western wheat crop is
ready for shipment early in Septem-
ber. Hudsou Bay navigation closes
one mouth later, But it is elatitnated
that during the mouth 05,000,000
bushels of grain way be carried to
the seaboard. With the necessary
storage facilities shipments may con-
tinue until interior elevators are
emptied. Moreover a well established
contention is that storage of wheat in
high latitudes improves its quality.
It is conceivable that shipments of
cattle would go northward, There
should be a return trade in goods from
Europe, There should be a trade in
coal between the mines of Nova
Scotia and the northern prairies.
THAT PANAMA AFFAIR.
(From Saturday Night)
It is suggested to those who compile
our dictionaries and who are adding
to the English language, as the years
go by, that there are great possibilities
in the word Panama, For instance,
it might be twisted into a verb some-
thing as follows :--Panama'd to be
robbed, to be double-crossed, to be
plundered, pillaged, defrauded, im-
poverished, Indeed, there appears to
be no end to the possibilities for such
a verb. It should ever remind us of
batt faith and trickery, and serve as a
future warning that not too much
dependence is to be placed iu the
signed and sealed documents that isbue
from the State Department at Wash-
ington, B. C.
In connection with this lamentable
Panama business, the ultimate end of
which no man can even forecast, it
is interesting to recall Canada's treat-
ment of foreign nations in regard to
her inland waterways. And this is
particularly instructive in view of
President Taft's inference that as the
United States paid for the Panama
Canal the citizens of that country had
every right to expect some special
benefit therefrom, some advantage
not enjoyed by their rivals in
business, the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Canada's canals, which, by the way,
have cost the Canadian Government a
round hundred million dollars since
1852, and previous to that many more
millione expended by the Imperial
Government, are free to all. And
when I say free to all I mean it in the
closest acceptance of the terra. An
American boat -owner or boatman of
any other nation has exactly the same
privileges on Canada's canals as have
Canadians, and not one cent do they
contribute, either directly or indirect-
ly toward the support of the same.
There are no tolls to pay and no dues.
That the American transportation
interests take advantage of their op-
portunities is shown by the fact that
the American tonnage on the Cana-
dian canals far exceeds that of Cana-
dian tonnage. The total tonnage of
Canadian vessels using Canadian
canals last year was 9,172,192, while
the tonnage of United. States vessels
using the same canals, free and un-
trammeled, was 18,231,102 or almost
double. Of the 2,537,620 tons of freight
which passed through the Welland.
Canal in. 1911 only 1,296,480 tons, or 51
per cent., consisted of Canadian pro-
ducts. The remaining 49 per cent.
were composed of United States pro-
ducts, passing mainly from one
American port to another.
This free use of Canadian canals by
the Americans who have never paid a
cent towards the cost of either con-
struction or maintenance, is consider-
ed, apart from the terms of the
Treaty, to be one of the stronf est
points in Canada's case in opposition
to discrimination against Canadian
shipping through the Panama. Canal.

GETTING RID OF
TUBERCULOSIS GERMS
It is not safe to put cattle into a
born that has housed tubercular ani-
mals unless It has been thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected, says Hoard's
Dairyman, If the barn is well lighted
a great many of the tubercular germs
will be destroyed by the direct and
the diffuse sunlight, but it is scarcely
possible to construct a baro So that
the light strikes all parts. It there-
fore becomes very necessary to thor-
oughly Clean and disinfect a barn that
has held tubercular animals before
putting healthy animals into the sta4
ble,
Before disinfecting the walls, cell,
Ing, floors, mangers ---in fact, every-
thing in the stable --should be thorough-
ly cleaned. A nnmbor of disinfectants
may be used. Corrosive sublimate is
probably the most powerful, but it is
very poisonous. One part of corrosive
sublimate to 1,000 parts ot water is
the proportion used. One of the com-
monest and a good disinfectant to use
under all conditions is lithe. In pre-
paring quicklime add a pint and a
half of water to each quart of lime or

The Ayrshire cow in general Is a
handsome, sprightly looping animal
of medium size, weighing at matur-
ity about 1,000 pounds, red and
white in calor, the relative propor-
tions of red and white being greatly
varied and readily yielding to the
taste of the breeder from his skill
in selecting breeding animals. There
has of late seemed to be more in-
quiry for Ayrshires with white pre-
ponderating, but color is merely a
matter of fancy and carries with it
no excellence of dairy quality. The
Ayrshire bull shown Is an animal
of pure breeding and high quality.
parts of lime. The result is hydrate
of lime, a dry powder. One quart of
this is mixed with four quarts of wa•
ter. Tills mixture must be used im-
mediately to have any germicidal 'pow.
er. It bas been found very effective
to add' some of the coal tar product,
such as creosote or zenoleum, to this
lime mixture.
The best way to apply the lime Is
through a spray nozzle, which is quick,
er and more economical than trying to
put it on the walls and ceiling and
door of the barn with a brush.
We might say that some authorities
recommend thoroughly disinfecting tit
barn with this cont tar product beaora
whitewashing. There are a number of
these coal tar products which may be
used for this purpose. and full diree
tions accompany each package as to
how much water'should be mixed with
the coat tar product In order to mule
the right kind ot a solution.
In disinfecting the barn It is quite as
important to spray the mangers, cow
ties. stalls and gutters and the feeding
alley an it is the walls and ceiling. If
corrosive sublimate is used ,great care
must be taken to thoroughly wash the
mangers. stalls and cow ties before
any animals are permitted in thew.
On the whole, it will probably be found
more satisfactory to use some coal tar
product and then thoroughly white-
wash. This would make it doubly sure
that the barn had been thoroughly dis-
infected.
Treatment For Calf Scours.
Calves at the 'Wisconsin experiment
farm are specially treated for calf
scours. First special care is taken to
avoid scours by keeping the calves in
clean, bright, well llbted and well
ventilated quarters. They are fed reg-
ularly until four weeks old on two to
six pounds of their mother's milk three
times daily. Care 1s taken to have the
temperature of the milk as near that
or freshly drawn milk as possible and
always to have the calf pail scrupu-
lously clean.
In spite of alt precautions now and
then, there Is a case of scours. For
the past two years such cases have
been treated as follows: As soon as
symptoms appear two or four table-
spoonfuls ot castor oil are mixed with
one-half pint of milk and given to the
calf. Tbis is followed in four to nix
hours by one teaspoonful of a mixture
of one part salol and two parts sub-
nitrate of bismuth. It can also be giv,
en with one-half pint of new milk or
the powder placed on the tongue and
washed clown by a mon amount of
milk. '.I'be Nato! and subnitrate of bis-
