Transient advertisements must be paid for in advance, Dr. Chisholm On Reciprocity. Liberal papers are quoting Dr, Obis - holm as having declared in' favor of Reciprocity. He did nothing of the kind. What he did say will be found in the following quotation from his speech in the House delivered,. mark you, before the deal. We quote from Hansard : - Reciprocity with the United States is a thing that I think we should con- sider very carefully. Personally, I would favor reciprocity if I thought we could get a fair deal. The very word "reciprocity" implies fair deal- ing, even-handed justice, with no sel- fish or dishonorable advantage taken by either party. In fact, reciprocity has been defined as a condition of things in which equal rights and mutual benefits are given and receiv- ed. Now according to that definition, the very first step towards reciprocity between Canada and the United States should consist in an equaliza- tion of the present tariff rates be- tween the two countries. If the United States will only do this, and thus put themselves in a position to begin negotiations on a proper basis, I feel satisfied that Canadians, irre- spective of party, will • support any just and reasonable tariff arrange- ments which this government may make. But unless a perfectly fair and equitable preliminary arrangement is made, it appears to me that the pre- sent Dominion government should either stop short in their negotiations, or at least proceed very guardedly. They should remember what Canada has suffered in the past from the un- fairness and greed of their sharp and selfish southern neighbors. For ex- ample, in a very recent fiscal year Ca- nada allowed $104,000,000 worth of United States goods to come into this country absolutely free of duty, while. our big uncle across the way recipro- cated by allowing less than one-half that amount of goods to enter his. country free. Again, Canada pur- chased $104,000,000 worth of dutiable goods from the United States, this was reciprocated by the purchase of only $75,000,000 worth of • dutiable Canadian goods by the United States during the same time. Then, Qanada charged only a fraction over 24 per cent. as an average` duty on the por- tion of the United States goods that were not allowed to come into this country free. This was reciprocated by President Taft and his friends by not only charging an average duty twice as high as the Canadian duty, namely, 48 per cent„ but also by actually standing with a big club in the shape of the Payne -Aldrich tariff, threatening that. they would put 25 per cent. more on top of the 48 per cent. if Canada did not still further reduce her already comparatively low duties on goods coming from the United States. This was a double injustice, in so far as it was partly directed against Canada's tariff pre- ference for the mother country. To say the least, it was a very' mean and ungrateful way to return Great Bri- tain's kindness for allowing the free entry of hnndreds and millions of dol- lars worth of United States goods into Britain's markets. One would have thought that a strong Canadian gov- ernment would have resented this brutal and tyrannical conduct on the part of our neighbors. I may remark, however, that the present Canadian government is not noted either for strength or wisdom especially when they deal with United States. Protecting The Horse. Over five thousand blacksmiths do - trig business throughout the province of Ontario have organized and will ap- ply at the next session of the Legisla- ture for incorporation as an associ- ation. They will ask power to com- pel all blacksmiths who shoe horses, to pass an examination and in doing this, they are taking one of the most important steps towards efficiency and the prevention of cruelty to animals. It is a well-known fact that in dif- ferent parts of the province there are many men ruuning "emithys" who know little more about the proper shoeing of a horse than the average citizen. The poor boast that has to bear the burden of traffic throughout entire day A11611111. be well fittefor doing eo, and in order to bring about this desirable condition, its feet should be thoroughly protected, The passing of an examination by black- smiths, will serve not only to raise the 'statue of their trade, but it will also be favorablylooked upon by both home and their ot"vnera. The wonder ie that the idea has Dot been put into elteontixt before, The Farmer And Reciprocity. With R,.eiprocity the farmer stands to lose more than he can possibly gain from this merging of his market with the American, and opening it, in ad- dition, to Australasia and the twelve "most -favored nations," Now, what will be the effect upon the permanent farmer who makes his money, by selling a little bit of every- thing, and a good deal of some- things ? Let us see 1 He may have a few horses to sell. If so, he gets more for them to -day in Canada by considerable than the American4ar'mer does for his in the United States ; and the removal of the 'duty will spoil the Canadian farmer's Home Market by letting down the bars before the inferior and cheaper American horse. He will lose on his horses. He feeds a few cattle, possibly, for the butcher. Cattle are higher to -day in Canada than in the United States, Where does the farmer gain? He doesn't. He will lose on his cattle. He may have some sheep, and will very likely have a few pigs. Both bring more in Canada than in the United States. Where will our typical farmer gain here from Reciprocity ? Then he must face the competition of Australian mutton and Chicago pork. The fact is that his prices for these things will fall. He will surely have a diary, and sell milk, eream and butter, Ameri- can milk products will come in to compete with him ; and only in cer- tain places near the border will his market for cream be increased. Even this increase fails about as frequently as it succeeds. As for butter, he will be exposed to the competition of Denmark and all the big butter -mak- ing countries of the whole world. His wife will have eggs to sell ; but she can get .more for them to -day in Canada than in the United States. If he goes in for small fruits, Ameri- can competition will forestall his market, "stale" his customers, and flood his patrons with cheaper fruit when he is ready to eell. Confessedly, the Canadian fruit business goes by the board. His oats had far better go over in the form of oatmeal under the new "farmers free lists ;" his hay should go across the border as meat ; and his barley bad better be fed at home. Even his wheat will lose its identity and high-priced quality if mixed with the American ; and he will lose hie bran and shorts by allowing that wheat to be ground in the American mills. It grows more amazing -the more we study the situation -why anyone should ever have conceived the colos- sal folly of imagining that "free trade with the United States in farm pro- ducts" would help the Canadian farmer. American prices are almost invari- ably lower than Canadian prices. The American supply is larger by far than the Canadian. The Americans are Iarge exporters of the very things which Canada has for sale. How can Canadian farmers possibly expect to gain by selling their produce in a lower market than they have right at home? The proposition is absurd on the face of it. r'He vis Items -A mad dog, in the upper part of Erin township, has done a lot of dam- age, and the Council has ordered all dogs to be chained from Aug. 28. -It is said that Honeywood is the home of the youngest married couple in the province.

Whitney's graphic picture of what reciprocity would do, as painted by him in a speech at Walkerton : - "1t would mean the destruction of horns mar- kets, the ruin of east and west trade, the split up of confederation, and would leave two streaks of rust run- ning from Winnipeg to the Atlantic Ocean." -The registrars of Toronto haye re- ceived a peculiar document acoompari. led by the neceseary registry fees and instructions to duly register.

Pig Fed on grain All His Life Dow; Not Pay. We believe that every farmer who starts to diversify his Drops should adopt what is called a minor rota- tion or in other words, he should; build a fence around some small pieces of ground handy to his build- ing to be used in time as a hog pasture, a place for growing potatoes and perhaps for a special patch of seed corn. A pig that is fed on grain all his life usually fails to pay ex- penses, One which is given the run of such a pasture until be is up to 150 pounds weight along with some grain feed will be produced very much more cheaply and economically. Alfalfa may prove to be a practical hog pasture. If it does not you will be able to grow a good pasture by sowing a mixture of two pounds Dwarf Essex rape, a bushel of barley, a bushel of field peas and a little millet seed per acre. At the Wisconsin experiment sta- tion as a result of a trial with hogs they found that an acre of rape pro- • HON. CLIFFORD SIFTON, Chairman of Conservation Commission Mr. Sifton believes in Canada pre- serving her vast resources. duced as much gain on hogs when used- as a pasture crop along with grain as fifty-six bushels of corn would do. It will thus be Seen that the small pasture or a minor rotation produces a vast amount of value as measured in grain feed. In addition to this feeding value of rape for hogs they were found to be stronger and gained more rapidly after the rape feeding was discon- tinued than tire ones which had been on grain alone. This is doubtless the result of being more vigorous and healthy. Theyfound that the ones fed rape and grain considerably r.ut gained the ones fed on grain alone.- TO lone: TO RID YOUR STOCK OF LICE No more trying problem confronts the young poultry -keeper than the freeing o f his poultry houses and stock from lice, mites and other para- sites. There are always two points of attacks: (1) the birds themselves, and (2) the houses,' next boxes, perches, etc. A powder for dusting the birds may be made as follows: Three parts gaso- line, one part crude carbolic acid, 90 to 95 per cent. strength; or three parts of gasoline, onepart cresol. Mix these -together and add gradually by stirring enough plaster of Paris to take up all the moisture. It usually takes about four quarts of Plaster of Paris to one quart of the liquid. For a spray or paint for the nest boxes, walls, perches, etc., of the poultry houses, use three parts kero- sene, one part crude carbolic acid, 90 to 95 per cent. strength. Stir this and apply with a spray pump or a brush. If the crude carbolic acid of the required strength cannot be ob- tained Substitute cresol. Always wash out the houses thoroughly, if possible, wilth hot water and carbolic soap be- fore applying the spray. RAPE AS A FORAGE CROP Rape is commonly sown broadcast • or in rows about thirty inches apart, and cultivated, says Prof. Sheppherd. When It is sown broadcast alone, it is. put in at,,the rate of five pounds of rape seed per acre of the Dwarf Essex variety; allowed to grow until it is about fourteen inches high, and then pastured down with pigs or sheep as the grower may desire. It Is advisable to have two pasture lots of it, so that the stock can be changed to a fresh one, while the one which has been fed down until the stalks are about five inches high and no leaves remain on them can grow up again. It will take a very short while for it to throw out new leaves and bo as heavy a growth as it was before it was pastured down. Where it is sown in `drill rows ,. and cultivated, three pounds of seed per acre is suffi- cient. It is cultivated as corn or potatoes would be until it is so that it shades the ground completely be- tween the rows. BORDEAUX AUGMENTS 1'OTATOE YIELD.
