W adnesdav of each week THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23. 1916 EDITORIAL NOTES Hon. T. W. McGarry, Provincial Treasurer, stated on Monday that the five and one-half months revenue from the amuseme It tax amounted to $250,- 000, this excluding what would come from the r.cc.•tracks. When the legis- lation wa•c introduced last session it was estimated that between $500,000 and $600,000 would be received from the amusement tax for the year. Widespread regret has been felt throughout the province at the sudden death of Hon. J. S. Duff, Minister of Agriculture His Department has been criticized vi4orously by the Liberals. but Mr. Duff himself was personally very popular on both sides of the House. Once a year he woulddelivera specially prepared oration and the benches on both Government and Opposition sides were always filled to hear his speech, which would deal in an interesting way, not only with agriculture, but with public aff airs generally. add Bluevale MY FOUR I,ITTI,U ONUS USW BABY'S OWN TABI,UCS Mrs. Albert Nie, St. Brieux Sask., writes: --'"I have been using Baby's Own Tablets for the past years and they have done my four tittle ones agreat deal of good," The Tablets always do they cannot possibly do harm—being guaranteed by a government analyst to be obsolutely free from injurious drugs.

CHURCH NOTES PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Communion service will be held in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sun- day morning, December 3rd. CHURCH OF ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE. The W. A. of St. Paul's Church will hold their regular meeting in the Mill's hall on Thursday afternoon of this week commencing at 3 o'clock. Rev. C. E. Jeakins, of Brantford, a former popular Wingham rector preach- ed very impressive sermons at both services in St. Paul's Church on Sunday last. There were large congregations present at both services. Bishop Williams, of London, held con- firmation services in St. Paul's Church on Monday evening when a number were received into Church membership. There was a large attendance at the service. Bishop Williams was assisted by Rev. C. E. Jeakins, of Brantford; Rev. J. C. Mantell, Teeswater, and the rector, Rev. E. G. Dymond. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, leader of the Opposition, celebrated on Monday his 75th birthday. The Liberal chieftain is is in splendid health and spirits. In fact, following his operation of a year ago and the subsequent treatment of his teeth, his general condition of health has been better than for many a year. Monday he went through his corre- spondenc' with his private secretary. at his home in Laurier ave., Ottawa. It contained many felicitation messages from overseas and from all parts of Canada, wishing him many happy and prosperous returns of the day. Sir Wilfrid was born at S.t. Lin in 1841, He has been for 29 years leader of the Liberal party and for 15 years Premier of the Dominion, THE STOREKEEPER AND THE ARMIES VaneouAer, Nov. 20—The truth of the old adage that "Union is Strength" has keen rediscovered by soldiers' wives of South Vancouver, In this suburb there are 624 families being helped by the Canadian Patriotic Fund. The Soldiers' wives and mothers have formed, among themselves, an associa- tion. They meet regularly for social intercourse. They contribute time, ser- vice and money to patriotic causes. They stand by one another in trouble. They restrain any member of their group who may be inclined, by extra- vagance, to bring discredit on the Pat- riotic Fund. This body of women are just beginning to find what power they can exert, Their combined monthly cash income atnounts to about $50,000. Not satisfied with the way in which the South Vancouver merchants are contributing to the Patriotic Fund, they have determined to use their pow- er to enlarge the shopkeeper's horizon. They have recently had printed a small window cart) intimating that Mr. Storekeeper is giving to the Patriotic rund. Where this is the case, the card is put in bis window and the soldiers' wives spend money where the card ap- pears. Acting on the principle tha' "One Gadd Turn Deserves Another" the soldier' wives of Sbutb Vancouver have bombe an important influence in swelling the receipts of the Patriotic Fund. WINTERING IDLE HORSES CHEAPLY Below are given some results obtained at the Experimental Station, Cap Rouge, Que., in the cheap wintering of idle horses. The methods -followed and the feeds used were such as to make the plan applicable to, andworth a trial in, practically all parts of the Dominion. MORE HORSES ARE REQUIRED Help is scarce, high-priced, and often- times unreliable, so that larger im- plements and more working stock have to be employed. It is not always pos- sible to buy agood team at areasonable price in the spring, while it is often hard to get a decent figure for the same animals in the autumn. It would thus seem advisable, when the ground freezes, to lay aside, as it were, for the winter, all horses which are not absclutely required and to feed them as cheaply as possible without impairing their tuture usefulness. THE SALVATION ARMY Don't forget the Salvation Army cottage prayer meeting on Wednesday. Nov. 22nd., which is being held at the home of Capt. Huband, Edward St. Come and bring a friend.

A CHEAP WINTER RATION To gather data upon this subject, an experiment was started at the Cap Rouge Station in 1911 and has been continued during five consecutive winters, with mares and geldings. some nervous, others quiet, aged five to eighteen years. It has been found that they fared well on a daily ration of one pound mixed hay, one pound oat straw, and one pound carrots or swedes for each one hundred pounds of their weight. Not only did they gain an average of twenty-nine pounds during the five months of the test, but they showed, the following season, that they had lost no vitality nor energy. CHANGES MUST BE GRADUAL The rule generally followed was to gradually cut down the work, also the feed, from November 1 until November 15 when the animals under test were placed in box stalls. They never went out, during the winter, with the exception of an occasional drive of a mile or so. On April 15, easy jobs were given to them and a small quantity of concentrates was allowed until by May 1 they could be under harness ten hours a day and were on full feed. These are important points not to be forgotten; to lower and raise the ration little by little, and to leave the horses practically idle. DETAILS ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS If horses, due to a hard season's work, are in low condition, they should be fed up to their normal weight before being left aside for the winter, and enough exercise should be allowed during that period to prevent stocking. Another good thing is to give a purgative so as to clean out the system before the long rest. One should also re- member that some animals are more restless than ethers and dissipate more energy, which means that more food will be required, so that the above mentioned quantities should be increased or deceased slightly, according to cir- cumstances.

Lord Shaughnessy Is Convinced« NTI1RVIEW E D In London, Lord Shaugh- n e s s y, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, stated h i s conviction that it was essen- tial to the devel- opment of Cana- dian trade that • both French and English should be compulsory u b- jects in Canadian schools, and that though other lan- guages might be optional the more languages learned the better, He said: "The stlbiect of t rad e after the war is one in which Can- ada is deeply in. terested at the present moment. Of Course WO, are preoccupied lust now with the suc- cessful prose. cation of the war. but at the same time it is possible to frame in our minds the general outline of our trade policy. When hostilities are concl.aded we must not be content to develop scientific research alone, but amongst other things in connection with ' universal s trade after the war greater attention should be paid to the aniv al in- struction in schools in foreign languages, In the past we have been content to give our boys and girls just adequate education in their ono tongue. If the lessons of this war are to be taken to heart, and if we are to extend our trade then we must make our youngsters familiar with the language of other nations. and, in my opinion, the French language should be made compulsory in every common school throughout the Empire. For it is the most common -Mom in ex Cha lge of thought all over the world. Russian and Italian l .a1d also be studied. THE INNOCENCE OF CHILDHOOD Minutes of Council meeting held on (Guelph Mercury) Nov; 13th, all the members present. Minutes of last -meeting were read and approved. The County Council have decided on a grant of i2 a mill on the dollar to the British Red Cross Society to be repaid by the different municipalities in 1917, and as 3-10 of a mill had already been levied in this township for that purpose, it was considered advisable that a de- benture for $500,0() issued by the County be purchased with the money collected this year for the Red Cross Society. Twelve dollars was ordered to be paid the Township of Morris, being East Wawanosh share repairing the Grasby drain. The following accounts were paid:— EAST WAWANU13F.t They were only little folks. The girl probably had not seen more than three summer% and the little lad that trudged along by her smiled as only children can smite in the face of adversity. There they sat on the bench at the morning police court, while the wheels of the thing, that the older folks call law, were put in motion to make it possible for them to be legally taken from their parents and put in foster - homes. But it was not awful to them. They followed with eager eyes the big policemen as they passed in and out, and again they smiled when one of the officials spoke a kind word to them. New Governor-General. The Right Honorable the Duke of Devonshire was formally installed as governor-general of Canada in the historic council chamber of the Nova Scotia provincial building in Halifax at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, in the presence of representatives of the Dominion Government, the Senate, the navy, the army, the Supreme Court of Canada, Lieutenant -Governor of Nova Scotia, the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, the Provincial. Cabinet, the clergy of Nova Scotia and prominent citizens. His excellency was sworn in by the Hon. Sir Louis Davies, K.C.M.G.. justice of the Supreme Court. The Duke of Devonshire is the third governor-general to have been installed at Halifax, the others being the Mar- quis of Lorne and Earl Grey.

Cut straw should it's the way of the world. be used, as it is more palatable than other sorts. HOW TO FEED It would probably be well to chaff at least half the hay and straw. but as the idea is to lower expenses, there seems no doubt that the cost of cutting these roughages would be greater than that of the extra feed necessary to supply the energy used in masticating them. The roots were sliced most of the time, for the a tperireents, and it seems better to give them thus, though it is not absolutely necessary, as long as they are not of such sizes as to be swallow- ed whole, when there may be danger of choking. . W15EN TO CEEB It was noticed at Cap Rouge that the legs of horses kept in box stalls, and fed as previously described, did not stock up. If is to bolt stall, it is ad visable to turn the animals out every day, when the weather permits, so that they may take some exercise. In this case it is probable that somewhat more feed, will be needed, to make up for lost energy and heat. As td the number of times to feed, it seems that twice a is sufficent , and that about the same quantity can be given both morning and .evening.
