Century, Feb.1S) If the reciprocity compact merely opened the door of the Canadian food market to American farmers it would be very injurious to thousands of Ca- nadian farmers. It costs no more to transport American farm products to Canadian towns and cities than it does to transport Canadian farm products to cities of the United States, and the American farmers have the advantage of an earlier season. Moreover there are at leaet ten times as many farmers in the United States as there are in Canada, and so ten American farmers will get entrance to the markets of Canada for one Canadian farmer who gets entrance into the markets of the United States, That the American farmers will take advantage of the open door there can be no doubt. Even with a tariff wall against them they have succeeded in selling im- mense quantities of farm products in Canada, more than Canadian farmers have been able to sell in the United States. With reciprocity in farm pro- ducts the ten American farmers will crowd the one Oanadian farmer pretty close in his own market, But this is not all that the Canadian farmer has to face under the reciproci- ty compact. Owing to favoured na- tion treaties, any tariff advantages granted by Canada to the United States must also apply to the follow- ing countries: --Argentine Republic, Austria-Hungary, Bolivia, Columbia, Denmark, Japan, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Vene- zuela. • Then it is provided "that the advan- tages granted to the United States shall extend to the United Kingdom and the several British colonies," This will bring about free entrance of farm products from those great food export- ing colonies, Australia and New Zea- land. In fact Canadian farmers will have to compete in their own home market with farm products from all the great food producing countries of the world. 1 1 BANK OF H,AIVIILT0N HEAD OFFICE: HAMILTON Capital Paid Up $2,50,000 Reserve and Undivided Profits . $3,250,000 $6,000,000 Over $40,000,000 Total Assetre S1i vlags Btµ& M N h e r e Deplitrtim mt at -41 Branch immosimmaimismook C.

It is now proposed to add to the un- certainty of Canadian farming. Im- ported farm products from the United States, the Argentine Republic, Den - mai k, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Aus- tralia, New Zealand and a number of other countries coming into Canada without payment of any duties will to a considerable extent displace Canadi- an farm prodicts in the home market as a result of the reciprocity compact. To make up for losses in the home market the Canadian farmer willhave to very greatly increase his exports to the United States. In sowing seed, in raising stock, in growing vegetables and fruit he will always have to con- sider what is most likely to satisfy American demands. And after he has made his arrangements, while his crops are still ungarnered, and the live stock, which he is raising specially to suit the American market, is half grown, the United States Congress may suddenly decide to shut out Ca- nadian farm products of all kinds. Remember the Reciprocity Compact is not a treaty. It may be ended at will by the United States Congress or the Canadian Parliament. It is well that we are not tied down to a perma- nent arrangement. Even the Free Trade Farmers' Convention in Ottawa on December 15, 10, 1910, recommend- ed that a permanent treaty should not be made, but that any understanding arrived at should be put into effect by concurrent legislation. All classes of the community were of the same opin- ion in this regard, and the Govern- ment could not have defied the unani- mous sentiment of the community. So when we point out that either the United States Congress or the Canadi- an Parliament is at liberty to end the agreement at short notice we are not blaming the Government for this. We believe that Canadians in general, including both farmers and city peo- ple, will find the arrangement so un- satisfactory that they will be thankful Parliament has the power to termi- nate it, but if this forecast should prove wrong there will always over- hang the cloud of uncertainty regard- ing the attitude of the United States Congress. There will always be strong iufluen� ces at work in the United States that may cause Congress to alter the tariff. American farmers may be dissatisfied or American manufacturers may think they are not getting enough out of the agreement and demand better terms. Mr. Taft has made no secret of his expectation that the United States is to get greater concessions later on. If the United States Con- gress endorses the compact it will be because of this expectation. Under such conditions with what feelings of uncertainty will the Canadian farmer plan his work for a year ahead. Adding To The. Uncertainty, There is always some uncertainty about farming. The farmer never knows when he puts Beed in the ground what the weather conditions will be. There may be frost or hail or drought or too much rain. Added to all these uncertainties due to Nature's variations there is the un- certainty regarding the prices which will prevail when the crop is harvest- ed. Sow many acres should be de- voted to one crop and how many to another depends upon a guess as to what demand there will be for the different agricultural products at the time of harvesting and what prices will prevail. What is true of farm crops is also true of live stook. It is comparatively easy for the farmer to May Be Late Spring. Baster Sunday is somewhat late tills year, coming on April 18th, Easter day is one of the movable feasts, its date depending upon a phase of the moon, It Is always the first Sunday after the full moon which happens upon or next after the 21st day of March. If the full Moon comes on a Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday following. It never can be earlier than March 25th. It is a common notion that spring is early or late, according to Taster coming early or late, Those who believe this tell ns we will have a late spring this year, Leave Owen Sound, An Owen Sound paper reports, that the 0, 1'. R. fleet will leave there dur- ing the coming season is now almost assured, Mr, John L. Simpson, the station agent, returned from a trip to Victoria. Harbor at the beginning of the week, and reports rapid progress in the construction of the works at The elevators u Ghat paint. T eare e in full running order, some of the offices and cottages and one of the round houses are already built, and work is well. advanced on one of the eheds. Two of the boats will leave here any way about the first of May, and the other three will follow in the middle of the season. This will mean a big loss to Owen Sound, the magnitude of which however cannot yet be accurately estimated, Better Cows Wanted. TAX LAND, NOT INDUSTRY. (Aid. Ross, Calgary, Alta.) We must tax land, not industry, in order to raise money for Govern- mental purposes. All taxes on build- ings, improvements, farming imple- ments and stock, business machinery, food, elothing, etc., should be abol- ished and all governmental revenues should be raised by the taxation of land values. Land should be taxed exclusive of all improvements upon it. Land values are created by the community at large. As the Pro- vince of Alberta is settling up year after year, the selling price of land is yearly increasing. Manhattan Is- land, N. Y., once sold for $24 worth of goods. To -day it is assessed for more than $2,400,000,000. A lot in Calgary that sold for $5,000 ten years ago, is worth $50,000 to -day. The world is full of concrete exam- ples. These values are all created by the community at large. By raising governmental revenues by taxing land values, the community would retain to itself a very small part of that which it itself creates.. Surely this is no robbery. . If a citizen is enterprising and in- dustrious, and paints his house, builds a fence, lays down a lawn, or does anything to beautify bis home, and incidentally the surrounding neighborhood, his assessment is raised,f he builds a hour promptly ,I e, we increase his taxes. If he pulls one down, we decrease his taxes. If he converts the prairie into a garden, we increase his taxes. If ho divides a market garden into town lots and holds the land idle waiting for a rise in prices, we reduce his taxes. The more a man does for the community, the less the community does for him. The less a man does for a community, the more the community does for him. A tax on production acts as a check to industry. For plainly if it costs a given amount to produce a given article, any tax imposed on that article Must be added to the price, and the more it costs, the less of it will be consumed.

C. F. Whitley, an authority on dairying, says to farmers :-Aim high or you never attain. Many good cows of excellent promise exist in Canada. Their true value is just commencing to bo revealed as a result of cow test- ing. At what figure they may next change hands depends entirely on the type of man in whose possession they are now. There is no reason why history should not repeat itself and a value of $10,000 be placed upon some cows in the Dominion. Ball calves from such cows are worth• $5,000; don't sell them for veal for $8, as one unfortunate man did, because he never took time to ascertain- what the dam could do. Three of the present cham- pion cows of the world were sold within the last year or two for ordin- ary prices of ordinary cows, simply because their owners then had never had then tested, had never weighed and sampled. Possibly you have a $10,000 cow in your herd, and don't know it. Do you know your cows ? Have you found out what each can do? Could you by any chance, unawares, sell a cow for $80 with $10,000 possi- bilities in her? Worry Does Not Pay. What suffers when one frets or worries ? Certainly one's good hu- mor suffers, certainly one's peace of mind is destroyed, certainly one's bal- ance of judgement is impaired, cer- tainly on'es ability to rise to occasions becomes dulled. Ambition is dead- ened ; buoyancy, there is none. Steep fails, wrinkles -come upon the features, the eye loses geniality, and the dead light of care obscures the soul's rays or else the flashlight of resentment is quick to rise, Home is made unhappy, friendships less valued, the world wrapped in gloom. The reason fret- ting is so disorganizing is because it is a process of fraying the nerves. One takes wool or flax, and to use the term of the laboratory, tears it out until the minutest strands are separated, the one from the other. There is no longer organization, simply organic matter that has lost its function. It is so with the nerves when one habit- ually frets. Worry wears and tears the tender nerves that do the tremen- dous work of carrying sensations to and from the brain and that surpass any registration of emotional values. Why They Want It.

The following from the New York Independent may be of interest :-To avoid taking colds the vitality trust be kept up (a low- vitality makes the body more vulnerable) hence feet should be kept dry, plenty of sleep taken, and long periods of hunger not permitted. Chitlings should be avoided, as when the body is chilled the vitality is low. Above all, at night there must be an abundance of fresh air in the toenail of those whose lungs are hampered in their activi- ties, Plenty of fresh air at alt times is now, of course, .universally recog- bized as a preventive of as well as a cure for colds. Give a wide berth to whisky and quinine, and all patent cures for coughs and colds, which are likely to contain such drugs as morphine, codeln, chloroform, etc. Hot drinks, however, are beneficial, fol' the reason that at such a time a large supply of liquid is neeeesary, hence the efficacy of the old-fashioned grandmother's remedies, flaxseed tea, and the like. Nothing softens a ccld Iike having an abundance of fluid in the system. Skin, bowels and kidneys must alio perform their of leet freely, :hence the use of hot baths and laxa- tives in breaking up a cold, hest, liquids, elimination, air these are the cardinal principles of therapy - not drugs and dosing.

It's not so long ago that the doctors bled a man to make him strong. "'Stuff a cold and starve a fever" is Miles behind our to -day's knowledge of curative science, yet our tethers had it preached to them time and again. You may not know It, but to -day there are just as ineffective methods of cure being preached and practised. All because most people de not know the real cause of disease. There are two kinds of corpuscles in the blood -red and white. The red eorpuscles contain nutrition, the white destroy disease germs. If for any cause the white corpuscles become depleted and Are not sufficiently strong to destroy the germs of disease, then disease controls the body'. That's the cause of disease. Years ago certain Herbs were found to, cure disease. They didn't know bowv or why in those days, they do to -day, And it's because these herbsbuild up the white corpuscles.
