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.

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.

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.
