WREN THE HORSE GROWS OLD. Some horses never seem to grow old, but are able to perform much work up to the age of twenty-five years, declares a writer in the Amer- ican Cultivator. With proper care and treatment the old horse is able to stand a great deal of work and for light work is worth just as much as a much younger animal. If offered for sale, of course the old horse will not bring a very large price. But if horses are to be serviceable until a good old age they' must re- ceive the very best of care and treat- ment at all times. They must not be neglected at any time, whether work- ing or idle. The old 'horse does not always get proper attention in regard to feed. He cannot masticate some kinds of food, especially corn, thoroughly, nor can he eat his ration in as short a time as can a young animal whose teeth are - sound. So unless some ground grain is provided for him and he is given sufficient time to eat -his meals when being worked, ho will fall to get the full benefit of his food and in a short time will begin to lose flesh and strength.- When trength:When the horse begins to grow old give him just as good care as you did when he was young, and he will more than pay for his feed and care by the work which he can perform. RATION FOR GROWING PIGS It is impossible for any one to say what is the best ration for growing pigs The feeding capacity of one dif- fers from another. We have been feeding for years, yet are all the time looking and anticipating some way to produce better results, writes a farmer. Sometimes we think we are feeding more grain than neces- sary; then again we think we are not feeding enough. As a rule, more pigs are underfed than overfed. We find a good ration for developing youngsters is five pounds of 0, P. oilmeal, ten pounds of wheat bran or middings, fifteen pounds of cornmeal and one pound of salt well mixed in a barrel with milk and warm water, feeding all they will eat up clean morning and night. If you have apples, cab- bage or roots feed them at noon. After they have eaters their evening slop feed them one pound of corn to each pound of live weight of pigs. Ground wheat, barley or oats an be substituted for a portion of the bran and middlings if desired. 1 I 11 I I I I I!III 1111 "Uniformity is a big word, Bud."

The Grand Trunk Pacific Scheme le a Direct Result of the Abandon- ment of Reciprocity •r;, ne JOHN v, BONNE. a 4 Always when a country adopts a new and definite line of policy, some Special, tremendous work is under- taken, which embodies that policy and becomes its, monument. That is as Inevitable ria that day should follow night, It nfay be undertaken by mem- bers of the community, whose efforts may coalesce in several enterprises, or the Government itself may launch some scheme in the name of the coun- try. Canada furnishes two outstanding examples of this. The logical outcome of Confederation was an ocean -to - ocean Canada, The logical necessity of an ocean -to -ocean Canada was an ocean -to -ocean railway. The Canadian Pacific had to be, It was first under- taken by the Government, and was then committed to private hands, with. Government assistance. When the abandonment of the Re- ciprocity idea was so quickly succeed- ed by a marvelous expansion of busi- ness, and, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier said, "We now'but all our hopes upon the British trade," the policy of fiscal in- dependence had its sequel in a vast engine designed to establish that in- dependence—the National Transconti- nental Railway—which is to be oper- ated by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- way, to which the backing of the pub- lic treasury was liberally given. The general election of 1904 was fought on the wisdom of the Grand Trunk Pacific and National Trans- continental bargain, which was the Government's method of carrying to its logical end the repeal of the Reci- procity offer, and of implementing the Premier's announcement to the Im- perial Conference, that Canada was devoted to East -and -West trade. The election was won by the Gov- ernment, and the railway was begun. In 1908 the Government went to the country again—not on the wisdom of the bargain, but on 'the necessity of completing the job. "Let Laurier finish his work," was the victorious slogan. The work is not finished. Another In competition with it has been be- gun. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL `SEVEN BEWARE THE COMPETITOR :Sir Wilfrid Said, "Heaven Grant That 1 It Be Not Already Too Late" By JOHN V. BORNE. A great deal has'been said for and against the contention that in making ,a reciprocity agreement without con- sulting the people the Dominion Gov- ernment reversed its established pol- icy. Those who say the Liberal party was always committed to Reciprocity, forget that the transcontinental rail- way policy was based on the aban- donment of reciprocity, and that the general election of 1904, won by the Government, was the strongest en- dorsement of the abandonment .of Re- ciprocity the country could give; for it authorized the Government to spend large sums of money to make new 'channels of East and West trade, whidh Reciprocity would have ren- dered unnecessary. Listen to the Prime Minister justi- fying the great scheme:— ` A railway to extend from the shores tot the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of the Pacific Ocean, and to be, every inch .of it, on Canadian soil, is a natidnal as a well as a commercial necessity. That such a road must be built, that it is, in the language which I have used, a national and a commercial necessity, that it Is a corollary of our status as a nation, that it is a requisite of our commercial develoment, is a proposi- tion to which, up to this moment, I have heard no dissent. . . • We consider that it is the duty of all those who sit within these walls by the will of the people, to provide im- mediate means whereby the products of those new settlers may find an exit to the ocean at the least possible cost, and whereby; likewise, a market may be found in this new region for those who toil in the forests, in the fields, in the mines, in the shops of the old Pro- vinces. Such is our duty: it is imme- diate and imperative. It is not for to- morrow, but of,this day, of this hour, and ofthis minute. Heaven grant that it be not already too late; heaven grant that whilst we tarry and dispute the trade of Canada is not deviated to other channels ,and that an ever vigi- lant competitor does not take to him- self the trade that properly belongs to those who acknowledge Canada as their native or their adopted land. . .

Though the Prime Minister always speaks for the Government, great im- portance attaches to the deelaratiotis of their Ministers: and, where big ex- penditures aro concerned, especially ,to the Minister of Finance, Me. Field- ing. In turning from the United States Mr. Fielding was as thoroughgoing as this Chief. He told the House of Com- ,>atons: It Is desirable that we should gilt° our American brethren to understand .that Canada is resolved to work Out her independence in these things, that the Present proposal will promote this object, and that even if still another railway should be necessary we shall be prepared to construct it. The atti- tude that the Government has taken upon this subject. has already attracted touch attention across the 'border, and there is a much keener eppreclation of Canada's independence than ever before. s, You v{III at once be struck by the clearness of the .allusion to the de- sirability of achieving independence of the United States. Why should there be this persistent appearance of the United States in the speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Fielding, insisting upon the building of a rail- way that was not to approach the. United States border line? Thera was no proposal to build, the lino north and south instead et east and' west. It could only be because some cone dition that formerly affected the re- lations of Canada with the United' States had undergone a change. What{ was it? You may search the records' of the times in vain for the slightest, proof that there had been any ques-: tion between the two countries which; could be a factor in Canada's embarka- tion on a vast commercial enterprise„ except one—and that was the ques tion of reciprocity. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had led the Lib- erals who in 1891 desired unrestricted reciprocity. Mr. Fielding when Pre- mier of Nova Scotia had kept an open. door for his Province's withdrawal from Confederation, because it was thought better to trade with the United States than with the rest of Canada. Especially to them, there- fore, the new transcontinental railway scheme was a confirmation of the abandonment of the reciprocal idea; and their assertion of the Fiscal Inde- pendence of Canada was consequently all the more definite and clearcut.

In reality there is not much differ- ence between "Let Laurier Finish His Work" and "Let well enough alone." Mr. Fielding has sneered at "Let well enough alone." He has read into it the meaning that Canada should be content with the commercial progress alreatly made. "Let Laurier Finish His Work" meant "Let the Government complete the project which is intended to en- large and consolidate trade between the provinces and trade with• Great Britain." "Let well enough alone" means "Let us not turn aside from the develop- ment of Canada on the lines that have proved our ability to be independent of the United States; and which are the best guarantee that our expendi- ture of $200,000,000 on a railway that is to strengthen this independence will not be prejudiced." How important is the work by which Sir Wilfrid Laurier wishes to be judged—the work which arose directly out of the abandonment of recipro- city—may be judged by the Minister of Railways' statement on March 10th, 1911, as to the cost of the National Transcontinental, which is being built from Mouton, New Brunswick, to Winnipeg -1,804 miles:— Cost of work done to Decem- ber 31st, 1910 $94,580,500 Estimated cost of work re- quired to complete 50,758,200 $145,339,700 The figures, which do not include interest charges during construction, work out at $80,565 per mile. At the end of January, 1911, the total per- centage of work done on all contracts was 67.62 per cent.—roughly, two- thirds. These figures do not include a cent of the Government's obligations for the Grand Trunk Pacific from Winni- peg to Prince Rupert. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL. TEN TI1E EVER=VIGILANT COMPETITOR How the Government Spends Milllond to Keep j-lim Out and Then Brings Him In By JOHN V. BORNE. Yearly interest, at four per cent.; on the cost of the National Transconti-; nental Railway will be $3,200 per mfle,f roughly, five and three-quarter million dollars a year. Having been in business thirty years the Canadian Pacific Railway, after meeting operating expenses, has to find $901 per mile for fixed charges,, before it can pay dividends. On an average of 65 per cent. of its earnings are absorbed by operating expenses. If the National Transcontinental can begin with an equally good proportion of earnings to expenses, it will need to earn, in order to pay its fixed charges, $16,000,000 a year, in an empty country, which is being opened up entirely to enlarge east and west trade and trade with Great Britain. This is exclusive of the earnings of the Grand Trunk Pacific beyond Win- nipeg. There are two 'dominant reasons why the Government's predictions about its great railway should be rea- lized, both of which make the earning capacity of the railway a matter of extraordinary importance to the Cana- dian people. The first is that the people must pay the interest on the cost, whether the railway earns it or not, and there- fore, every taxpayer has a direct re- sponsibility for making the line pro- fitable. The second is that, if the Transcon- tinental cannot make both ends meet out of earnings, and the public tree, sury has to be drawn on, Canadian credit will be seriously prejudiced, be- cause, for the first time in the Twen- tieth Century (which Sir Wilfrid Laurier proclaimed to bo Canada's Century) a groat new transportation undertaking in the Dominion will fail to be selfsupporting, with obvious effeet on the further supply of capital for Canadian development. The Prime Minister was afraid the National Transcontinental might be too late against the "ever -vigilant competitor to the south." Reclproeity gives the competitor a three years' start of the Transcontinental Reiiway which WAS to defeat hint. —111r, Warnes Archibald of Seaforth o nsbi s as a over these t w Is known all p big buyer of horses. 110 has always voted Liberal, hat is so strongly op- posed to Reciprocity that he le work.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Scheme le a Direct Result of the Abandon- ment of Reciprocity •r;, ne JOHN v, BONNE. a 4 Always when a country adopts a new and definite line of policy, some Special, tremendous work is under- taken, which embodies that policy and becomes its, monument. That is as Inevitable ria that day should follow night, It nfay be undertaken by mem- bers of the community, whose efforts may coalesce in several enterprises, or the Government itself may launch some scheme in the name of the coun- try. Canada furnishes two outstanding examples of this. The logical outcome of Confederation was an ocean -to - ocean Canada, The logical necessity of an ocean -to -ocean Canada was an ocean -to -ocean railway. The Canadian Pacific had to be, It was first under- taken by the Government, and was then committed to private hands, with. Government assistance. When the abandonment of the Re- ciprocity idea was so quickly succeed- ed by a marvelous expansion of busi- ness, and, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier said, "We now'but all our hopes upon the British trade," the policy of fiscal in- dependence had its sequel in a vast engine designed to establish that in- dependence—the National Transconti- nental Railway—which is to be oper- ated by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- way, to which the backing of the pub- lic treasury was liberally given. The general election of 1904 was fought on the wisdom of the Grand Trunk Pacific and National Trans- continental bargain, which was the Government's method of carrying to its logical end the repeal of the Reci- procity offer, and of implementing the Premier's announcement to the Im- perial Conference, that Canada was devoted to East -and -West trade. The election was won by the Gov- ernment, and the railway was begun. In 1908 the Government went to the country again—not on the wisdom of the bargain, but on 'the necessity of completing the job. "Let Laurier finish his work," was the victorious slogan. The work is not finished. Another In competition with it has been be- gun. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL `SEVEN BEWARE THE COMPETITOR :Sir Wilfrid Said, "Heaven Grant That 1 It Be Not Already Too Late" By JOHN V. BORNE. A great deal has'been said for and against the contention that in making ,a reciprocity agreement without con- sulting the people the Dominion Gov- ernment reversed its established pol- icy. Those who say the Liberal party was always committed to Reciprocity, forget that the transcontinental rail- way policy was based on the aban- donment of reciprocity, and that the general election of 1904, won by the Government, was the strongest en- dorsement of the abandonment .of Re- ciprocity the country could give; for it authorized the Government to spend large sums of money to make new 'channels of East and West trade, whidh Reciprocity would have ren- dered unnecessary. Listen to the Prime Minister justi- fying the great scheme:— ` A railway to extend from the shores tot the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of the Pacific Ocean, and to be, every inch .of it, on Canadian soil, is a natidnal as a well as a commercial necessity. That such a road must be built, that it is, in the language which I have used, a national and a commercial necessity, that it Is a corollary of our status as a nation, that it is a requisite of our commercial develoment, is a proposi- tion to which, up to this moment, I have heard no dissent. . . • We consider that it is the duty of all those who sit within these walls by the will of the people, to provide im- mediate means whereby the products of those new settlers may find an exit to the ocean at the least possible cost, and whereby; likewise, a market may be found in this new region for those who toil in the forests, in the fields, in the mines, in the shops of the old Pro- vinces. Such is our duty: it is imme- diate and imperative. It is not for to- morrow, but of,this day, of this hour, and ofthis minute. Heaven grant that it be not already too late; heaven grant that whilst we tarry and dispute the trade of Canada is not deviated to other channels ,and that an ever vigi- lant competitor does not take to him- self the trade that properly belongs to those who acknowledge Canada as their native or their adopted land. . .

Though the Prime Minister always speaks for the Government, great im- portance attaches to the deelaratiotis of their Ministers: and, where big ex- penditures aro concerned, especially ,to the Minister of Finance, Me. Field- ing. In turning from the United States Mr. Fielding was as thoroughgoing as this Chief. He told the House of Com- ,>atons: It Is desirable that we should gilt° our American brethren to understand .that Canada is resolved to work Out her independence in these things, that the Present proposal will promote this object, and that even if still another railway should be necessary we shall be prepared to construct it. The atti- tude that the Government has taken upon this subject. has already attracted touch attention across the 'border, and there is a much keener eppreclation of Canada's independence than ever before. s, You v{III at once be struck by the clearness of the .allusion to the de- sirability of achieving independence of the United States. Why should there be this persistent appearance of the United States in the speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Fielding, insisting upon the building of a rail- way that was not to approach the. United States border line? Thera was no proposal to build, the lino north and south instead et east and' west. It could only be because some cone dition that formerly affected the re- lations of Canada with the United' States had undergone a change. What{ was it? You may search the records' of the times in vain for the slightest, proof that there had been any ques-: tion between the two countries which; could be a factor in Canada's embarka- tion on a vast commercial enterprise„ except one—and that was the ques tion of reciprocity. Sir Wilfrid Laurier had led the Lib- erals who in 1891 desired unrestricted reciprocity. Mr. Fielding when Pre- mier of Nova Scotia had kept an open. door for his Province's withdrawal from Confederation, because it was thought better to trade with the United States than with the rest of Canada. Especially to them, there- fore, the new transcontinental railway scheme was a confirmation of the abandonment of the reciprocal idea; and their assertion of the Fiscal Inde- pendence of Canada was consequently all the more definite and clearcut.

In reality there is not much differ- ence between "Let Laurier Finish His Work" and "Let well enough alone." Mr. Fielding has sneered at "Let well enough alone." He has read into it the meaning that Canada should be content with the commercial progress alreatly made. "Let Laurier Finish His Work" meant "Let the Government complete the project which is intended to en- large and consolidate trade between the provinces and trade with• Great Britain." "Let well enough alone" means "Let us not turn aside from the develop- ment of Canada on the lines that have proved our ability to be independent of the United States; and which are the best guarantee that our expendi- ture of $200,000,000 on a railway that is to strengthen this independence will not be prejudiced." How important is the work by which Sir Wilfrid Laurier wishes to be judged—the work which arose directly out of the abandonment of recipro- city—may be judged by the Minister of Railways' statement on March 10th, 1911, as to the cost of the National Transcontinental, which is being built from Mouton, New Brunswick, to Winnipeg -1,804 miles:— Cost of work done to Decem- ber 31st, 1910 $94,580,500 Estimated cost of work re- quired to complete 50,758,200 $145,339,700 The figures, which do not include interest charges during construction, work out at $80,565 per mile. At the end of January, 1911, the total per- centage of work done on all contracts was 67.62 per cent.—roughly, two- thirds. These figures do not include a cent of the Government's obligations for the Grand Trunk Pacific from Winni- peg to Prince Rupert. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL. TEN TI1E EVER=VIGILANT COMPETITOR How the Government Spends Milllond to Keep j-lim Out and Then Brings Him In By JOHN V. BORNE. Yearly interest, at four per cent.; on the cost of the National Transconti-; nental Railway will be $3,200 per mfle,f roughly, five and three-quarter million dollars a year. Having been in business thirty years the Canadian Pacific Railway, after meeting operating expenses, has to find $901 per mile for fixed charges,, before it can pay dividends. On an average of 65 per cent. of its earnings are absorbed by operating expenses. If the National Transcontinental can begin with an equally good proportion of earnings to expenses, it will need to earn, in order to pay its fixed charges, $16,000,000 a year, in an empty country, which is being opened up entirely to enlarge east and west trade and trade with Great Britain. This is exclusive of the earnings of the Grand Trunk Pacific beyond Win- nipeg. There are two 'dominant reasons why the Government's predictions about its great railway should be rea- lized, both of which make the earning capacity of the railway a matter of extraordinary importance to the Cana- dian people. The first is that the people must pay the interest on the cost, whether the railway earns it or not, and there- fore, every taxpayer has a direct re- sponsibility for making the line pro- fitable. The second is that, if the Transcon- tinental cannot make both ends meet out of earnings, and the public tree, sury has to be drawn on, Canadian credit will be seriously prejudiced, be- cause, for the first time in the Twen- tieth Century (which Sir Wilfrid Laurier proclaimed to bo Canada's Century) a groat new transportation undertaking in the Dominion will fail to be selfsupporting, with obvious effeet on the further supply of capital for Canadian development. The Prime Minister was afraid the National Transcontinental might be too late against the "ever -vigilant competitor to the south." Reclproeity gives the competitor a three years' start of the Transcontinental Reiiway which WAS to defeat hint. —111r, Warnes Archibald of Seaforth o nsbi s as a over these t w Is known all p big buyer of horses. 110 has always voted Liberal, hat is so strongly op- posed to Reciprocity that he le work.
