The penalty provided for the infraction of this law on conviction before one or ' more justices of the peace is a fine of not less than one dollar, or more than twenty dollars with costs, the fine to be paid to the person prosecuting; in !default of payment, imprisonment for ' not less than two, or more than twenty days. 1 Students and scientists may secure a permit from the Chief Game Warden " of the Piovince, giving them the right to collect eggs and birds for purpose of stialy but this permit must be renewed each year. Game birds of course, are not lucluded in the Act. ' But the best way to protect birds is to arouse an interest in the birds them- : selves and to promete this good work The Canadian Society for the Protection , of B,rds has recently been formed with • headquarters in Toronto. One of the ; aims of this society is to secure advanced legislation for the protection of bird life all over Canada and another is to ; develop a wide spread interest in the study of birds. A special effort will be rnade to enlist the Boy Scouts, Cadets and boys generally in the campaign for it is realized that boys can do more than any other agency for the preservation of wild creatures. The adult members of the Society pay an annual sub- scription of fifty cents but to boys and girls under fifteen there is no expense and each junior member will receive a button showing the emblem of the Society, the Canada sparrow or white trout, and will also be sent an excellent and fully illustrated booklet on birds by C. W. Nash, a naturalist employed by the Provincial Government. This book - lot deals with Birds especially in relation to agriculture. Mr. Nash who is the field master 'of the Society, will also go to any community end give a free lec- ture on the Birds of Ontario. If the farmers of Turnberry would arrange to have Mr. Nash give his lecture in differ- ent neighborhoods of the township and enlist their boys and girls in the Society fo: the Protection of Birds. They would create a public sentiment that would be more po medal than the Town- ship Council. The Secretary of the Canadian Society for the Protection of Birds is Miss Laura B. Durand; Normal School, Toronto. It might be excusable to say a good word for another friend of the farmer -the snake -which has suffered still rnore than birds from the persecution of human beings. Most decent people feel a little sympathy for birds but it seerns to be considered. one of the Christian virtues to kill snakes. It is perhaps too much to ask people to love snakes, but like the poet we might "turn aside and let the reptile live." The snakes in this part of Ontario are absolutely harmless, but more than that, they are of great economic value to the farmers as they prey on tlee field mice and similar small animals which have become such a pest in recent years largely owing to the fact that their natural enemies the snakes, hawks and owls are being exterminated. Walt. Mason's amusing and eloquent defence of the bull snake in the last issue of the Times would apply with equal truth to our snakes in Ontario. "The bull snake never hurts a thing, he doesn't bite, he doesn't sting, or wrap you in his slimy folds and squeeze you till he busts all hold's. As harmless as a bale of hay, he does his useful work rtll day and when at night he goes to rest. he's killed off many a wretched pest. And yet the farmers always take a chance to kill this grand, old snake. They'll chase three mites or more to end the labors of their truest friend. They'll hobble forth from beds of pain to back a bull snake's form in twain and leave him mangled, torn and raw - which shows there ought to be a law." Yours truly. C. DuFP. The revenue of the Dominion, which dropped by some six million dollara during the past fiscal year, is beginning the new fiscal year with another said tunable. The total revenue for April was $9,848,9953, as compared with $12,, 145,455 of April last year. The decrease is $2,296,427, or nearly 19 per cent. The principal falling off is, of course, in customs returns, which decreased by some two millions, reflecting a corres- ponding restriction of imports. "This refusal to "play the game," as the Englishman puts it, was unfortun- ately reflected in the redistribution bill a bare -faced gerrymander, obviously drawn with the sole purpose of weaken- ing an Opposition already too weak for the country'e good. Saturday night holds no brief for vely political party, but it cannot but deplore that a session marked by such admirable legislation ,as that referred to should have been the scene of so much unnecessary ran- cor and unfairness. "- Toronto Saturday Night. When the farmers asked for the aboli- tion of the duty on wheat on the ground that they themselves and the country as a whole would greatly benefit from this tariff change the Government said. in effect, that the agriculturists did not know their own •business, and free wheat was refused. When the iron and steel manufacturers and the manufac turers of cut stone asked for increased tariff protection upon their products the Government hastened to do their will, and heavier duties were imposed to the disadvantage of the Canadian consumer, THE BEN2F1TS OF WIDER MARKETS On May lst, 3,380 hogs were sent from Calgary to the United States in a single shipment Altogether the twenty-six cars of hogs represented a value of slightly more than $30,000 which went into the pockets of the Alberta stock raisers. Moreover, while this shipment was the largest ever made from Alberta many other thous- ands of hogs in smaller lots have been shipped across the line from that Pro- vince, as well as from other provinces, within the past few months. This con- dition of affairs bringing increased profits to the farmers of Alberta, and adding to the prosperity of the Pro- vince, also providing purchasing power for the manufacturers of the East, is the direct result of the removal of the American duty on hogs under the Wil- son -Underwood tariff. It provides one more proof of the market for Canadian produce which exists in the United States and of the benefit which flows to the Canadian people from wider mar- kets. Another piece of evidence as to the value of the American market to Cana - Cans was supplies in the Commons a few days ago by aNew Brunswick Lib- eral who spoke of the export of fish to the United Slates since the removal of the duty formerly levied by the Wash- ington Government. From a single New Brunswick county in the month of February there were shipped to the American market no less than 382 tons of smelts, Under the former United States- tariff a duty of $15 per ton was collected and the profits of the Cana- dian fishermen were conseqoently de- creas.al on every shiptnent across the border. As a result of the removal of the duty the fisherman in this one New Brunswick ceunty gained increased sales and increased profits amounting to thousands of dollars. THE SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.

LIGHTNING RODS. A Bulletin ealvocaLing the use of lightning rods on buildings has just been issued by the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Prof. W. II. Day, of the staff of the Ontario Agricultural Coilege, is the author of this Bulletin, and he demohstrates, after a series of investigationa covering thirteen years, that lightning rods are the protection that science claims them to he In Ontario in 1912 the efficiency of rods was 911, per cent. Frain the reports of insurance companies Prof, Day found that in every 2Co farm buildings insur- id, 42 were rodthal. which is 21 per - but cut of every Via farm imildhogo struck by lightning only 3 aave ridded. In this connection Prof. 1/ay obseaves "We should have en- pacted 42 if the rods were no good." Lightning rods in Iowa are recorded as .showing ail aiiciency of 98.7 per cent., and inspected rods in Michigan ehow an efficiency of 99.9 per cent. Ileeerds in Iowa nhovv that for the .4Atit yeara Ifai5-1912 the average nux- of heitirance companies carrying iiion ;added buildings was 55. The lieat number of cowman/0e reporting any arm yt ar we (8 and the lowest 47. The total lightning claims paid by all natio companies for the whole eight years on rodded buildings Was only $4,- 4114 30 -an average of $10.15 Per com- pany per year. On unrodded buildings they paid lightning claims amounting ! to the large sum of $311,095.32, which is an average of zi1775.15 per company per year. and the number of unrodded buildings was the same as the rodded1 "ens. IMichigan where a company insures only rodded buildings which have been inspected • a risk of $55,172,075 Was carried during four years and damage claims arising from lightning during that time totalled only $32. These and other proofs submitted by Prof. Day are practical demonstrations of the scientific fact that lightning rods properly installed are a protection. In giving directions for the proper rodding of buildings the reader is reminded that lightning is electricity. Prof Day asserts that rods should be in metallic connection with the building and that no insulators should be used. This method of attachment is directly oppo- site to that adopted when lightning rods were first used. SUFFERS FROM PAINFUL RHEUMATISM. Liniments of no Avail -Must be Cured Through the Blood. Why are there so many failures in the treatment of rheumatism? Why are so many sufferers resigned to a life of pain, despairing of a permanent cure? Because rheumatism defies any treat- ment that does not build up and purify the blood. The poisons of rheumatism are in the blood and it is only through the blood that the diseasecan be fought successfully. Unless the blood is weak and impure rheumatism cannot get a foothold. When it does the thin and impure blood is not strong enough .to overcome then oisons alone. It must be strengthened and purified. Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for Pale People are the best blood -building medicine you can take. They make new blood with every dose and promptly check' further progress of the disease. They make the blood so pure and stron* that not the least trace of rheumatiton remains, Mr. R. J. SinclairaGosheo; N. S., says: "About two years ago Ieevas laid up with rheumatism. For/two months I could not walk andbad, 'to stay in an in- valid's chair. lety 'feet were badly swollen and my arms seemed to be paralyzed. 1 had been using doctor's medicine for a long time, but it did not seem to help me, and the doctor finally told me that the only thing that would cure me would be a change of climate. At this time I decided to give Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a trial and got a supply. After I had taken them for a while I found they were helping me, and I got a further supply and they completely cured me, and I have not been sick one day since. I strongly recomfnend Dr. illiams' Pink Pills for this trouble." You can get these Pills from any dealer in medisines or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing tl-e Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brookville, Ont. POTATO DISEASES. There has been issued by the Depart- ment of Agriculture at Ottawa a re- markably well executed folder, Farmers Circular No. 4, entitled 'Potato dis- eases transmitted by the nee of unsound tubers," showing in natural colors, re- presentations of diseased potatoes. Diseases and (Aber Plemishes represent- ed are potato canker, powdery scab, hollow potato, brown streak, little pota- to disease, dry rot, wet rot, common po- tato scab, and stem end rot. Special reference is made to potato canker and powdery scab, the latter of which oc- curs already in Canada and should be carefully avoided. The folder points out that, under the destructive Insect and Pest Act of Canada, any person us- ing for seed potatoes infected by rota. - to canker or powdery scab is liable to prosecution Potato growers who sus- pect the presence of either of the latter diseases are requested to send speci- mens to the Dominion Botanist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. This folder, prepared by Mr. H. T. Gussow, Dominion Botanist, will be sent free to those who apply for it to the Publica- tions Branch of the Department of Ag- riculture at Ottawa.

WHAT MOTHEPS $AY OF BABY'S OWN TABLETS 7, Thousands of mothers useseno other medicine for their little onewbut Baby's Own Tablets. Once a mother has used the Tablets she will use eio other medi- cine. Concerning therm/Mrs. Geo. M. / lf Binns, Clifford, Ont., rites: "Enclos- ed find twenty-five kits for another box of- Baby's ()w Tablets, as I would not be without them. When baby is cross and ailing I give him a tablet or two and he is soon well and happy again. I know of no other medicine to equal them and find them far superior to Cas- tor oil. The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., 13roekvil1e, Ont. wRoNErE The Wroxeter Lawn Bowling Club was.organized recently and a green is being made.

As a result of the WilsondUnderwood tariff it is now within the power of the Canadian Parlament by a single act to secure to Canadian farmers free access to the American market for wheat and wheat products atd, at the same time, to secure for the Canadian consumer an immediate benefit he lower paces of flour which is made dear to -day because of the milling combine fostered in Canada by the present high tariff. When Liberal motions in favor of tak- ing this step were offered in Parliament last month they were voted down by the Government and its majority. Dr. J. 11. Mathieson, a prominent resident of ',3t. Mary's, Ontario, for for forty years. died in his armchair. During the Budget debate in the Com- mons it was shown that to -day Canadian makers of farm implements are compet- ing successfully in the home markets of other nations and selling, too, more cheaply abroad than to the Canadian farmer. The present tariff protection given the manufacturers of these im- plements in Canada is consequently un_ necessary and serves only to enhance the price of his machinery to the Cana- dian farmer. To lessen the burdens upon the farmer Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his supporters in the House moved to abolish the implement duties; against this motion the Conservatives recorded a unanimous vote. The lesson to the farmers should be clear. sios orsease~eibevi"...~0440.460.40044,..040#4 F6 J. H. BAKER'S / SET FRUIT' DISHES mum.
