TO ADVERTISERS
A PALPABLE MISREPRESEN•
TATION.
There must necessarily be a good
deal of reiteration to drive home the
facts in concectien with some of the
iesnes involved in that "awful lent
week" o! the Ltgisl'tture.
It will be remembered that when the
bi11for the guaranteeing of $3,500,000
Northern bonds of Canadian northern R,.licca
y
(M Ker zit & altar:) was introduced in
the dyiug hnnrs of the Legislature Mr.
Whitney said.
' My main reason for giving this
gnarantee is because when my ad-
ministration came into power I
found a mortgage on file that was
defective. It did not cover the
terminals, and a moat valuable part
of the road. We are now trying to
make ourselves more secure."
Now what are the facts about thie
matter? They are these;
Terre was no mortgage on file
when Mr. Whitney went into power.
The Roes Government was defeated
is January 1905. Mr. Whitney
came into power Feb. 12th, and the
mortgage was not drawn until July
12, 1906, seventeen months after-
wards, so that when Premier Whit-
ney said that he found a mortgage
on file whioh was defective, he was
either guilty of wilful misrepresen-
tation or it was a case of lapis liugi
most deplorable in a public man,
and especially when it was eigued
by the present Provincial Treasurer,
Han. A, J. Matheson.
'What think the electors of this bare•
faced piece of misrepresentation, which
not only deceivsd the Conservative
members, but the leader and members
of the Opposition who had trusted to the
honor of the Ministry to state the case
fairly ? Is there any parallel for such
misconduct in the history of govern-
ment is this country?

Wingbam lost a good citizen this week
in the person of Mr. S. G. McGill, bar-

The leader of the Liberal Oppose
tiou in the second instalment of bis
appesl to the electors, melee a very
strong. point of the failare of the
Whitney Government to unearth any
ecandale such as they expected, or
professed to expect to find on taking
office. After three and a half years
in of)iae, says Mr. McKay, "three
and one half years access to the
vaults, papers, bocce and everything in
the departments, and no irregularities,
no mi=_deede, no wrong doing disclosed.
A'lsolute and complete failure to imple-
ment promisee, or rather, threats along
these lines, must ba the unbiased judg-
ment of all independent and .intelligent
electors " The legislative, the adminis-
trative, the financial record of Liberal
Governments still stands nnimpeached,
and worthy of the great Liberal lead-
ers.
'.Chis is a most important matter for
the consideration of the electors, re-
marks the Guelph Meronry. Many Lib -
orate and more independents, Mr. D. C.
Hosssck among them, aided in putting
Mr Whitney in power less than four
years ago. They undoubtedly became
suspicions of wrongdoing on the part of
the Liberals, and they thought the best
way to stop the evils if there was any,
was to make a change in the administra-
tion. Mr. Hossack has found out al-
ready that he did not do much for the
Province by withdrawing from the Lib
eral party, and thousands of other Lim
erala have learned the same thing,
Many, if not all of them, will come
back to the ranks, and do what they
can by voice and vote, as Mr. Hossaok is
now doing, to put the Liberals again
into office.
It may be claimed without any fear of
contradiction that no political party
except the Ontario Liberals, ever re-
mained in power continuously for more
than thirty years, leaving a record so
clean that their sncce+sors found no-
thing to divulge after a microscopic
search throughout a whole Parliament-
ary term. The Conservatives have been
in power just one-tenth of that long
period, and in "that last awful week"
of last session they pe rpetrated more
scandals than are to be found in the
Liberal term of one-third of a century.
The obvious moral is that the sooner the

"On January 24th, 1905, Mr. Whitney
made an appeal for aid, and declared
that should his future conduct not be
approved ;the people might withdraw
their confidence, Does Mr. Whitney feel
that he has lost public confidence? He
has so arranged many constituencies by
hiving Liberals that the withdraw al of
Liberal confidence will not affect the
standing of the parties in the Legisla-
ture. On January 26th, 1905, Mr. Whit-
ney published his 'glad appreciation' of
the fact that 'Liberals in large numbers'
supported him. In 1908, apparen'ly
with the expectation of losing Liberal
support, Mr. Whitney's appreciation is
expressed by hiving the Liberals. There
were a grim humor in the situation did
it not savor so strongly of the very
ordinary commonplace and tricky politi-
cian "-Rev. D. 0. Hossack, who sup-
ported Mr. Whitney in 1905.
Hon. A. G. Medley, in an interview
says: -"The old-line Liberals are com-
ing back, and they are enthQsiastic.
There were hundreds and hundreds of
Liberal voteh went Ooneervative last
time, but they are now coming back.
I have said gaite often, and I am con-
vinced that Liberals were never in bet-
ter fighting trim.
The country owes to the Liberal
party :
Vote by ballot.
Simultaneous polling.
One -man -one -vote.
Trial of election petition by judges.
Manhood suffrage.
Manhood suffrage legislation.
The Liberal patty, in short, is the
party of the people.
Unable to Digest
The Weekly Sun, the organ of the
farmers, states that the session of the
Legislature just closed cannot be des-
cribed as a farmers' session It says:
"Two important items of legislation
which organized agriculture has pro-
tested again and again. The credit of
the Province was pledged for the en-
dorsation of two and one-half million
dollars in bonds to be issued by one
private railway and over a half million
acres of panic lands were voted as a
bonne to another private road. In the
case of legislation for the control of
automobile traffic, a matter directly af-
footing not only the business interests,
but the safety of farmers, the reasonable
requests presented by a farmers' dele-
gation were deliberately refused.
Didn't Agree with Me
Mr. Arthur Tennison, 88 London
Street, Toronto, writes enthusiastically
of the merits of Psychine for all
stomach troubles.
"For seven years I have had indiges-
tion and dyspepsia. I tried scores o£
remedies. My room resembled a drug
store with nostrums which I had bought.
Eventually I used Psychine, and every
dose brought permanent relief."
All throat, lung and stomach troubles
quickly cured by Psychine. It is the
prescription of a great specialist. At

A. Slocum, Limited, Toronto.
In a recent speech, Mr. T. H. Pres-
ton, of Brantford, effectively replied
to the boast of so many Conservative
speakers and papers that the Whitney
Government had been faithful to its
pre•eleotion promises, and to clinch
his argument, gave the following round
dozen promises that have never been
carried out by Mr. Whitney:
1. Reduce the number of ministers.
2. Reduce the expenditures. •
3. Abolish the taxes on corporations,
4. Reduce the Succession Duties.
5. Adopt the provisions of the
Pettypiece bill for the taxation of
railway corporations.
6. Adopt a two•ctnt passenger fare

eidiee.
THE FOOD
The digestive system is a wonderful piece
of machinery, but power is necessary to make
it effective.
The power, in this case, is the nerve force
and with the nerves exhausted the digestive
tystern becomes hopelessly crippled. There is
indigestion, headaches, neuralgic pains and spells
cf weakness, dizziness and discouragemcr.t.
Strength cannot be regained from the food
you eat, but can be restored by

The diseased condition known as
scab, causing roughened, scabby sur-
faces on the tubers, is mostly caused
by a minute parasitic fungus. The
fungus also lives in, the soil from year
to year. Alkaline conditions of the
soil favor the growth of the scab
fungus, so that lime and fresh stable
manure, though valuable In increasing
yield, are to he used with caution and
perhaps are better applied to the pre-
vious crop. Lime also favors rot If
the soil to be planted is infected with
scab, some green manuring might be
sown in the fall and turned under in

The Department of Physios at the
Ontario Agricultural College desires to
a`nnonnce the continuance of its pre-
vious offer of assistance to farmers in
matters pertaining to drainage. For the
peat three years we have been author-
ized by the Minister of Agriculture to
go oat and assist any farmers in taking
the levels of hie lands for drainage pur-
poses, in planning the most advantage-
ous systems of drains, and in calculat-
ing the grades and sizes of tile for the
different drains. A finished map bear-
ing all the information is sent to the
owner. This serves two purposes:
first, it is used as a gaide in constructing
the drains; second, it may be preserved
as a record of tho exaot location of every
drain, so that if for any reason it should
be necessary in years to Dome to find
any drain it could be done accurately at
a moment's notice.
The number of applications for assist -
emu has increased very rapidly, so that
last year we had many more than we
could attend to. To enable ns to meet
this increased demand the' Minister of
Agrionitare has this year given ns e.
special appropriation whereby we have
been enabled to double our staff for this
work.

Methods of Treatment.
If seed potatoes free from scab can-
not be bad for planting, the seed can
bedisiufected before planting by the use
of either of the following methods;
then if plauted In scab free land the re-
sulting crop will be practically free
from the disease. The seed potatoes
may contain scab germs though they,
appear perfectly smooth:
Frist.-Two ounces of corrosive sub-,;
timate dissolved in hot water and
diluted with cold water to fifteen gal-
lons. Suspend the previously washed
uncut potatoes in a coarse sack in thin
solution for one and a half hours,
using a wooden vessel, as it acts on
metals. This substance is very poison-
ous, and the treated potatoes should
not be eaten by anything. After soak-
ing the potatoes are dried, cut and
planted as usual.
Second.-eSiff eight ounces (one-half
pint) of commercial formalin (40 per
cent) with fifteen gallons of water and
use as the other solution, but soak for
two hours. Formalin is poisonous, but
not so dangerous as corrosive sub-
limate. It also soon evaporates and
does not remain in the tubers as the
sublimate does.
Either of these may somewhat re-
tard the germination and will injure
the sprouts that have already started.
Flftecn gallons is enough to disinfect
tweuty to tweuty-five bushels. Of
course if the seed is planted in scabby
laud the treatment will lose most of
its efficiency.
In Vermont formaldebyde gas has
been used with as good success as the
liquid formalin to control scab. Its
use is often more convenient.

Fertilizer For Cowpeas.
Three tests were made in Mississippi
to show the effect of fertilizers on cow -
peas, and the best yield, consisting of
1,330 pounds of peas in the hull and
820 pounds of bay per acre, was se-
cured where a mixture of 200 pounds
each of acid phosphate and kaiult was
applied. The use of fertilizers appar-
ently affected the yield of peas more
than the yield of hay. Some of the
leading bay producing varieties and
their yields per acre were as follows:
Wonderful, 4,200 pounds; Red Ripper,
3,504 pounds; Iron, 3,329 pounds, and
Clay, 3,043 pounds.
Seed Beets In Colorado.
The work of selecting mother beets
for growing seed has demonstrated
that a large number of beets would
not grow a seed stock and that uni-
form seed production depends largely
upon the proper soil conditions and
the manner of setting out the beets.
Well matured beets of good shape and
size are selected, the leaves removed
without injury to the center or crown
buds, the beets layered In dry soil in
deep, narrow ventilated pits protected
from frost -and set out early in April
for seed production. -P. Ii. Blinn.

The Self Sustaining Turkey.
The fact that turkeys will, from the
time they are six weeks old until win-
ter sets In, gain the greater part of
their entire living from bugs, grass-
hoppers and waste grain that they pick
up in their wanderings over the range
assures their existence through this
period at little or no cost to the grower,
In other words, they may be termed
self sustaining foragers where they
have sufficient range.

iN THE FIELD.
Fertilizer tests conducted by a num-
ber of experiment stations have shown
that nitrogenous fertilizers, particular-
ly nitrate of soda, are especially effec-
tive on oats.
In the production of celery a rich,
mellow, sandy loam will give the best
results. Any fertile, well drained soil
will grow celery, but a loose, sandy
loam is preferable.
Manure will make soils to which
they are applied darker in color and
exert a material influence in making
soils warmer. Manured land is less
subject to the denuding effects of wind
and rain.
There should not be too many corn-
stalks in the hill. Unless the ground •
is very rich, really good, large ears
will not be produced if there aro morel
than two stalks on the hill.
