"TIGER" DUNLOP
AT 'PJENETIANG,
(Fred Williams in Mail and Empire)
P )
Do you know that current ,news
;litems can often be used as;'a basis for
historical facts? A`cornbination of two
(press despatches the other day is an
earam'ple.'One told of the fiftieth an-
Iwiversary''af the town of - Pene aitlg-
inishene; the other that renewed care
is being; taken of the grave of the
(Dunlop brothers at Goderich. On 'the
ifaee .of the mere statements there does
lnot seem to be any 'connection, yet
/there is a link between. "Tiger" Dun-
lap and Pen ltan'g which is worth 're-
'oalling. 'Colonel F.S.L. Ford,
M.D., in his valuable monlograp'h on
"William Dunlop tells ,that late in
the autumn (of 1814) he (Dr. Dunlop)

the upper lake's to com:bat the Amer-
ican naval forces in those !waters.
iPenetangurshene, about 30 .miles from
!Lake Simcoe, waschosen as the site
for the new dockyard. The ex'pedi-
'tion was commanded by Lieut -,Col.
%Francis Cockburn of the Canadian
1Fonioj'bles, and with one com'pany and
about the same number of militia,
'pro'ceeded up Yonge street to Lake
Simcoe. When they arrived' at the
fake the ide was not s'tron'g enough
to bear 'them, 'so they waited • two
(days, at the end of wh'ic'h time Doc-
tor Dunlap skated over the Wake to
try the ice, a distance Of '12 miles,
The next day they all crassed, in
spite of the fact that (the ice had bro-
ken up into' Targe cakes during the
;night. Nldthnng daunted, they tied
-themselves together with ropes, and,
.although many of them fell into the
icy water's, they were pulled out' by
their 'comrades, and all reached the
other shore, after six hours of arduous
and dangerous travel. Once on shore,
a big fire of logs was lighted and the
camp cooks prepared a savory dinner
which, with the 'inevitable issue of
rum, sent them to their spruce bough's
wearyand content. One afternoon,
the ductal-, with -'his dog, left camp to
explore the country ahead of them.
iHe got lost in'the woods and tramped
for houirs until he realized he would
have to wait until 'daylight to see-h'is
tracks. He trod; a /deep trench in the
snow; and; taking ,off :his snows'h'oes,
the poured a quantity of rum into his
moccasins, pulled down his fur can,

back to canto, unable to tie on This
s'no'wshoes. He was lt'reated by two
Canadian woodlnien, with poultices Of
beech leaves, and after three ':weeks
rec'overedl. Thepoor dog did' not
fare so .well, :for, in the words' of

Winter, the work was carried on to a
successful issue, and early in Manch
they had nearly reached; their ob-
jective, when, in Dunlop's words, the
'appalling intelligence' arrived' that
peace had been declared, 'which
meant the prospect Of •ha'If.pay. The
regiment marched down the river to
Quebec, sailing for the Old Country,
and Dunlop, 'wi't'h his comrades. were
on the ocean. that June day on which
was fo'n'glit the Battle of Waterloo.
He never ceased to regret his ab-
sence 'from the great fight."
The "Tiger" died at Cote St. Paul,
near Montreal '(where he had receiv-
ed his 'first military appointment in
'Canada 35 years before) on July 29,
9184$. He h'a'd desired to be buried
beside his brother at Gairbaird, in
Huron. The body was brought to
Hamilton; there the heat ' of the
!Sumner made interment necessary;
but the fo4ldwiitg January it was
drawn by sleigh to Goderich, "and
the wanderer at last rested with his
Own people." That tomb is one of
our historical shrines ,and s'hou'ld be
carefully preserved.
GRAIN SIVLUTS AND, THEIR
PREVENTION
Losses, due to grain smuts affect-
ing oats, wheat and barley each year
in the Province of Ontario, amount to
4 to 5% Of the total crop yield and
lower the market Value of these
grains by approximately $5;000,000 ,an-
nually. Practically' ai'I Of this lass
can be prevented easily by carefully
treating the seed grain before sow-
ing. Oat smut is a most common and
trotablesome grain smut in the Pro-
avin'ce and it destroys the kernel, hull
and chaff. The fungus causing oat
s'niut is carried over winter, external-
ly an the kernel and in the surround-
ing hurl 'where it can be reached by a
seed disinfectant.
The Spraying or So -Called Dry
Formaldehyde Treatment.
This method is reicommended for!
the prevention of Oat Smut only,
though -it can be safely used with a
,mixture of oats and barley. I't can-
not, however, be safely used. with
•wheat or huiles's oath,
ID'irecUions. Use equal qu'an'tities of
formalin and water that is, a pint of
fcrtn'alfn and a point of water, A
quart: of the solu+tnon should be ap-
plied to 50 bushels of oats, If smaller
or larger quantities are treateduse
proportional amounts of the formal-
dehyde solution, tiros; 25 bush'el's Of
oats_ require only 34 pint 01 formalin
mixed with % pint of water. A's'rnell
quart sealer sprayer is moist conven-
ient for applying The • formalin solu-
tion to the data. A sprinkling can is
not satisfactory,
Sweep a portion of the granary or
barn floor and then spray it with a
little of the "formalin solution. 'Place
the oats to be treated in a pile on the
floor and shovel them into another
pile and as they are being shovelled
over, spray :them with the formalin
solu't'ion. When finished spray the
bags on both the ins'ide and the out
s'id'e and •cover the pile of oats with
thein. 'Old carpets, b'lankelts, tarpau-
lin, etc.,
arpaulin,etc., may be used to cover the
treated oats but s'h'ould fir's't be spray-
ed the same as the bags. Leave the
oats covered for four or five -hours,
then uncover and they are ready' to
saw. When treating oats by this
meth!od, open The 'doors so as to. give
+plenty alf:'ventilatdon and hold the
sprayer close to the oats. 'i'1 this is
not done the strong fumes of formalin
Will cause much irritation 'to the nose
and throat. `
Advantages o'f this. method: It is
safe; large quantities can be treated
in a short time; there is no waisting
for the oats to dry, they can be sown
at once alter treating; of necessary
the treated oats can be stored safely
for a week or more.
The Standard Sprinkling Method with
a Formalin. Solution.
This meth'o'd is recommended for
the prevention of smut of oats, stink-
ing smut of wheat and covered smut
of barley.
Direct'ions.—)Mix 1 pint of forma-
lin with 40 gallons of water. 'Place the
grain to be treated in a heap on a
clean floor. Sprinkle the formalin so-
lution over the grain to be treated in
a heap on a clean floor. Sprinkle the
formalin slolultion •over the grain, then
shovel the grain into another pile so
as to mix it thoroughly. Then sprinkle
and shovel. again. Repeat this opera-
tion until every grain is moistened
with the solution. J'us't enough of
the solution should be applied to thor-
oughly 'moisten every grain but not
enough to make the .pile wet and
soppy. Forty .gallon's of this formalin
solution is -sufficient to sprinkle be-
tween 50 and 60 bushels of grain; so
that it takes twoJthirds of a gallon or
more of this solution .per bushel. It
is important to use proportional
amount of the formalin solution. Al:
ter the grain has been thoroughly
sprinkled =cover the pile with bags,
sacks, or blankets, ,;etc., which have
been sprinkled with or soaked in a
formalin solution, aiid leave for three
or four horn's, Alt the end , of this
time spread' the grain out thinly' to
dry. It is often advisable to shovel it
over three or four times to hasten the

name of formalin which is a forty per
cent. solution of formaldehyde. It
can, be purchased in drug stores by
the pound (16 ounces) or by the pint
(120 ounces). Barrels or pails, are not
injured by ,formalin and so may be
used for holding the solution when.
treating the seed.
(Copper Carbonate Dust Treatment
For the prevention' of Stinking
Smut or Bunt of Wheat and Smut in.
HulIess Oats,
!Dlirec'tions. — This dust should be
.applied at the rate of from 2 or 3
ounces per bushel depending upon the
amount of smut present. Dust mix-
ing machines .are now on the market
fpr applying dust rapidly to large
quantities of grain. Put the grain and
the :copper carbonate dust into the
mixing machine and rotate for two or
'three Minutes, or until every grain is
!thoroughly covered with dust. It, is
•ad'visable to wear a dust mask or a
'wet handkerchief over the nose and
;mouth while treating the grain. If a
s,mu:t treating machine is not avail-
able a )ba'rre'l churn or an. ord'in'ary
barrel fastened in a frame, or some
types of cement mixers may be used
,for treating the grain.

SEAFORTil ONTARIO,
AT TORONTO
Facing second division of the Ses-
s'i'on, the Henry Government was 80 5 -
tanned by an overwhelming inajoriity,
978-119, in adopting the motion to pasta
the bud'ge't. Bry the same' `majorkV,
the House defeated the Liberal aau
endmen't which condemned the gov-
errimenit for increasing fhe provincial
debt and failure to place the financial
position of Ontario fairly before the
people. The two divisions have been
carried on straight party lines, with
the Coinnserva'tive's as a single body
standing behind • Plr.emier George S.
Henry and his government:
The ddbalte on the budget proved
Ito be one of the shortest' on record,
lasting less than three debating days,
and in: which 26 members including
the party leaders took part.
IPre'mier Henry defended the Hydro
!Electric Power C'o'm;mission from O'p-
p'osi'tion attacks in connection with
approval • beiing made by order -in -
council of the co'mamission's actions.
This he believed the proper proced-
ure, but he contended the Government
takes no part in the actual details of
contracts, these being left to the Com-
mission.
Turning to Harry Nixon, Progres-
sive Leader, who had charged extra-
vagance, Premien Henry asked the
Progressive to pick out one single
item of .uneonitrblia'ble extravagance
co trniltte'd by the Gbvernm.ent, which
was not answered.
Premier Henry`m'ade a ringing ap-
peal to the province to stand fast be-
hind the Government in its endeavors
to present a balanced budget and dir-
ect affairs through such depressive
times. He also castigated ' W. E. N.
S'inclafr, Olpposition Leader, .for the
(Liberal's com'nnen't upon the appoint-
ment of Rev. Dr. H. J. Cody, as pres-
ident of the Uni'versi'ty df Toronto,
which Mr. Sinclair had claimed was a
partisan appointment and not in the
best interests of the in'stitu'tion,
"I't was very fitting that the Uni-
versity, having a distinguished gradu-
ate within reach, should call upon him
to ass'ume this high pos't," said Pre-
mier Henry. "Dr. Cody is over 60
years of age, but he is a main in the
prince of life, He is not handicapped
by conning from another land, but is
a graduate of the University, a strong
educationist, a man of remarkable ab-
ility; of remarkable versatility in all
lines. It is not fisting tha't it should
be said he was chosen as president of
a great University because of his pol-
itical leanings. Even while he sat in
this, House as :Minister of E'ducation
we al'i recognized in him a leading
educationist, a man who was far be-
yond petty politics in the administra-
' tion of his department,"
Ilion. E. A. Dunlop, Provincial
Treasurer, announced the Corpora-
tion Tax Ac't increases. All miscell-
aneous insurance companies including
automobile companies, but except'ing
life and fire insurance companies' have
the tax increased front one to two per
cent. Fire and life insurance com-
panies are increased from ane -quarter
to one per cent of the premiums. The
tax on branch banks is raised from
$100 to $200. The tax an trust and
loan 'comp'an'ies is rai'se'd from 1-25
o'f the capital reserve to 1.20' each,
Telegraph companies' tax is increased
from one-quarter of one per cent to
three-eighths alf one per cent. For
head offices the tax is $50 and branch
offices of incorporated companies, the
amount not to exceed one -(fifth of one
per cent of the paid up capital with
a minimum of $20. This includes the
filing fee that is now paid to the Pno-
vinciaf Secretary, The one per cent
tax on net prolfit's of incorporated
compa'nie's is to be tle'term'ined on the
same basis as under the Dominion
Income Tax Act. There is also• a tax
on express companies.
(Ron. W. H. Price, Attorney -Gen-
era?, introid'uceld,a bill re -:asserting ilio_
vincial jurisdiction over the business
of insurance companies in the prov-
ince, in which he said: "the province
will protect its. jurisd'ic'tion as a mat-
ter of provincial rights, and' will .dis-
charge its responsibilities in that re-
gard to the full. Co. Price comment-
ed on the decision of the privy coon=

regulation of insurance ' business a
provincial and not a federal matter.
The bill p'rov'ides blanket amid temp-
orary powers similar to t'ho'se taken

'relit that some sort of central bureau
