CLARK ON THE TRADE QUESTION. Those who heard Dr. Michael Clark speak in the Dominion Hall, Vancouver, says the Saturday Sunset. must have been greatly struck by the lucid way in which he put his argument for free trade. There was no attempt to ob- scure the question; no wandering off on side issues, so that the audience might be led away from the crux of the sub- ject. Dr. Clark stripped the question bare and in plain epigrammatic sen- tences contrasted the advantages and disadvantages of free trade and high protection. "Canada is not producing enough. We are in danger of living too much on our borrowed capital. We have got to produce more. You can't build up a great nation by peddling real estate to one another and waving the Union Jack at election time." These are some of his sentences, and the truth of them is as self-evident as is the truth of an axiom of geometry. The state- ment is everywhere heard from Conser- vatives that free trade is dead, but one has only to mark the trend of thought and feeling not in Canada alone, but throughout the entire civilized world,to perceive the fallacy of such tack. Dr. Clark did not fail to point out that even as he was speaking the victory of Woodrow Wilson in the United States was a proof that protection had lost out in that country, where for years it seemed to be most strongly entrenched. How dead it is in Canada he described in his characteristic manner. In Ot- tawa, he said, the Conservatives had paraded the streets with a rig on which was inscribed the motto: "No truck nor trade with the Yankees." "They keep on tellibg us that reciprocity is dead," said he, "but I notice they are keeping a ceaseless vigil over the corpse. The proper thing to do with a dead body is to get it out of sight and mind, but this corpse seems to be waking up every now and then. Hon. Robert Rogers came to Saskatchewan to tell us that reciprocity was dead, but the people voted that it was alive again. `No truck nor trade with the Yankees' is not an argument nor a fact, It is merely an appeal to passion, and a hasty Nemisis has over- taken those gentlemen who raised the cry. There was a grain congestion in the Northwest soon after the govern- ment took office, and Hon. George E. Foster, who believed in having neither truck tor trade with the Ysnkees, had to go down on his knees and beg of the Inter -State Commission to allow our grain to be moved through the States. The only difference between Mr. Foster and the Liberal party is that while we want to truck and trade with the Yan- kees under a dignified agreement, Mr Foster prefers to do it on his bended knees." Sweet Clover No Longer a Weed. Sweet clover. a much condemned plant is, says Hoard's Dairyman, at last coming into its own. For years farmers looked upon it as an obnoxious weed and its native habit at roadsides, and waste lands, has been neglected. Now agricultural science is beginning to see great possibilities in this plant. It is highly recommended as a. green manuring crop, and in Kentucky and Il- linois some farmers are growing it in the place of alfalfa as a feed for live- stock. Several of the experiment sta- tions are making a study of its culture and use. There are two varieties of the sweet clover, or meliltus as it is rightly called, the white and the yellow. The white makes a ranker growth and is. recommended for plowing under as a Had a Weak Heart. Doctored For Three Yeas Without Any J enotiit.

The farmers of the east- ern and southern states are making the 1 greatest use of this crop, especially for renovating worn-out lands. One leading seed firm reports that the demand for mellitus seed has increased 125 percent. during the last year. The seed sells at the same pries as alfalfa seed. It will grow an nearly any kind of land and an average crop is about 10 bushels per acre. Professor V. 11. Davis, of the College of Agriculture, Ohio State Un- iversity, is growing white sweet clover as a cover crop in his orchards. The rank growth is moved down and used as a mulch around the trees. Being a legume, nitrogen is added to the soil through the action of the bracteria growing on the roots of the plant and the decay of the crop supplies large quantities of humus. THE MINGHAN TIMES DECEMBER 5, 1912 S100 RE W ARD, 6100, The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutioal disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting direct- ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- ing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY&CO., Toledo, 0.

Martin Bur- rell, Minister of Agriculture a timely bulletin on the care of market eggs has been issued from Ottawa. It directs particular attention to the nature of the enormous losses that result from inadequate and unsatisfactory methods in the handling of market eggs, and suggests means by which permanent and needed:improvement may be brought about in the Canadian egg trade, to the corresponding advantage of both pro- ducer and consumer. This bulletin which is No. 16 of the Live Stock Branch constitutes a pamph- let of 24 pages in which are shown a number of clear photo engravings which are very helpful to a clear un- derstanding of the text. Copies may be had free by applying to the Publica- tions Branch of the Department of Ag- riculture, Ottawa. After describing the usual method of handling eggs and the result of lack of care of various kinds, the bulletin of- fers specific suggestions to the farmer, the merchant, the egg buyer, the rail- way and express companies, the deal- ers and packers, the retailer and con- sumer. The farmer is enjoined among other things to remove the male bird immediately after the breeding season and market no fertile eggs; to provide roomy nests and plenty of clean nesting material; to collect the eggs regularly at least once, better twice, a day in moderate weather and more frequently in very warm and very cold weather and to remove them at once in clean utinsels to a cool dry cellar; to cover with a clean cloth to prevent dust from settling upon them and also to prevent evaporation and fading; to market them in suitable cases as frequently as pos- sible. The suggestions offered to mer- chants, buyers, transportation com- panies and others are equally specific and practical. Where the Furs Come From. In the large cities of the world,notice- ably Paris and London, millions of rab- bit skins are dressed and treated, and bogus furs are sent out from these manufacturing centres to robe men and women all over the world. It detracts from one's feeling of pride in a hand- some fur garment to know that after the furrier, chemist and dyer are done with the rabbit skin, it may be a "seal- skin," a "sable," An "otter," a "mink," a "Siberian squirrel," a "mar- ten," a "beaver," or any other fashion- able fur, according to the demand. The transformation takes peace in the shops which sell felt to hatters, carpet weav- ers, and felt manufacturers. Theskins are purchased soon after; they have been stripped from the rabbit's body, and are stiff andhard when they reach the sort- ing room. Experts examine each skin, and those which come up to the estab- lished standard are sent to the furriers; but the torn, undersized and punctured pelts are turned over to the men and women who strip the hide of its hair for the felt -maker.

It has been decided to put the electric light in the Methodist church of this place. Mrs. Jas. McLauehlin, of this place, was in Walkerton this week attending the funeral of Mrs. Wm. Easton wife of Mr Wm. Easton, formerly with Mr. R. C. Sperling, of this place. The adjourned inquest on the cause of the death of the child of Mr. Geo. Raby, was being held as we went to press. The little sleighing that we have had has about disappeared, and wheeled ve- hicles are now in use. The annual meeting of the Wingham Branch of the Upper Canada Religious Tract and Book Society, will be held on Monday evening, December 5th, in the Presbyterian church lecture room, at 8 o'clock. .Messrs.

But we, who blithely plan to eat him, who gnash our teeth whene'er we meet him, may die before that turk; this life, alas, is so uncertain that death wit us is always flirtin', and may get in his work. Just read the almanacs and ponder upon the billion germs that wander around man as he walks; the billion germs that pine and languish if they can't fill his breast with anguish and put him in a box. Just think of microbes and consider how apt you are to leave a widder before thanksgiving day; devour to -day your apple cobbler and do not bank upon the gobbler that's yet two days away.

Any- body can be faithful to the great trust or on the great occasion. Youth is the time to make fidelity one of the 'chief stones of character. --Sarah N. McCreey. To be silent when a friend is attack- ed is a mistake, and mars manhood. The country needs high minded pat- riots. Anybody who is failing to make his life his life count for good cit- izenship in these critical times is making a mistake for which his child- ren will be sorry. "When there is a harvest in sight," says Carlyle, "it is a mistake to be sparing of the seed corn." To fail to be kind is always a mistake. When courage goes all goes. The habit of bravery may be cultivated. Thus in common days we may prepare for crises. For to fail to cultivate a stout heart is a more serious mistake than to miss the usages of good Eng- lish and good breeding. Happiness is everything and its spring is in our own hearts. -Ruskin.

T top -dressed it with manure and plow- ed in the spring, as soon as fit for plow. ing, lined it and then kept on harrow- ing until July and sowed the alfalfa. The next year I got three cuttings. Af- ter cutting the last crop I gave a dres- sing of manure with the spreader, and got almost as much in the first cutting last summer as I had the three cuttings the first summer. I believe the dress- ing of manure helped it. -R. F. Schumm, Allegheny County, Pa., in American Agriculturist.

Lesson X. --Fourth Quarter, Foci Deo. 8. 1912, THE iNTERNATIQNAL, SERIES.; Text of the Lesson, Matt. xviil, 1-14. Memory Verses, 2, 3 --Golden Text, Matt. xviii, 10 -Commentary Proper-, ed by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The question Of the disciples witlli which this lesson begins, "Who is the( greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" carries us far back in the history of man on the earth, even to the sugges- tion of the old serpent to Eve, "Ye shall bo ns gods" (Gen. Iii, 5), Hie own ambition Is seen in Isa, xiv, 13, 14: "I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. * * * I will be like the Most High." The significance of the title "Most High God" is seen in the first use of it iu Gen. xiv, 18-22,. where it evidently refer» to God as the possessor of heaven and earth. Ther great adversary's ambition, therefore, is to possess the earth and the people upon it. The late Dr. Weston said that the Bible is the record of the conflict between God and the devil for man and his inheritance, the, earth. When people join house to house and field to field, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth (Isa. v, 8), on which! principle all trusts and combines seem to he carried on. it is not difficult to recognize the unseen ambitious, wicked one back of it all, who offered to our Lord all the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them if He would worship !lira (Luke iv, 517). The man will yet come, if he Is not already In sight, who will accept this offer of the devil, and all the world will worship him whose names are not la 'the Book of Life (Dan. xi, 36.38, 43; Rev. sill, 8). We need to uuderstand this in order to be delivered from the ambi- tion rnbition to be great even in the kingdom. Ile must be blind indeed who would de- sire greatness or power In this present evil age unless he could use it wholly for God. The Lifelong motto of every believer should be. "The Lord alone shall be exalted" (Isa. 11, 11, 17). Not only on this occasion did the idea of personal greatness lay hold of the disciples. but just after He had the second time foretold His death they by the way disputed among themselves who should be the greatest (Mark ix, 31-34). On another occasion both James and John and their mother asked for seats on His right and Ieft hand In His kingdom and glory (Matt. xx, 2,U, 21; Mark x, 35-37), Then again at the last passover, on the night of His be- trayal, after He had indicated Judas as His betrayer, there was a strife among them whieh of them would be account- ed the greatest (Luke xxli, 21-24). He always taught them that genuine hu- mility was true greatness, and, as to places in His kingdom, the Father had arranged all that. and we must leave if with Him, On the occasion of our lesson He Called a little child and set him In the midst and by an object lesson taught them humility and true greatness and also that to enter the kingdom ono must become as a little child (24). A little child does not suggest innocence as its principal feature, for it is marvelous bow early a very little child shows wit - fullness and temper, yet I once heard a Itoman Catholic bishop use these words about becoming as little children as a proof of the need of a purgatory, where. we could somehow work off our sins until, as when we were innocent chil- dren. we would be fit for the kingdom. The Scriptures, the reading of which. the Roman Catholics do not encourage, teach us plainly that only the blood of Jesus can cleanse our sins and that Hi's absolutely perfect righteousness, which. He gives freely to all who receive Him, Is our only fitness for the presence of God (Rom. iii, 24; ►, 1, 0; I Cor. i, 30). A. very little child is helpless, teach- able, trustful, comes when called, as MIS child did. When we come to sina IA our emptiness all His fullness be- comes ours, and then we become indeed His little ones, who believe in Him (verse 6), and He counts all treatment) of such little ones as done to Himself (verses G-9). Awful indeed are soma of the words in these verses and in Mark ir, 42-48, concerning the possibility of being cast into everlasting hell are, but how bless- ed the assurance that this i'earful place was never prepared for man, but for the devil and hit angels; that the Lord 18 not willing that any should perlbh and that those to whom He gives eter- nal lite can never perish (verses 5, 14. 25-41; II Pet. 111, 9; John V, 28). The ministry of angels Is beautifully re- ferred to in verse 10, and that they at - ways have access to our Father In heaven, that they minister to Its here on the earth, is taught by Heb. 1, 14, and many other passages. It le blessed to be able to say, because we really believe It and know soinething of the joy and peace ot it, "I am never alone; the Lord 7esus end the angels are Al- ways with me." In verses 11.13 we have what might I be casted a summary ot the three par- ables of fluke *vs. sherd**. the ,j4j' in heaven over one sinner repenting.
