Fielding, the "little gray Nova Scotian," who holds the most responsible position of Mininster of Finance in the Government of Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, might have entitled the Budget "promises fulfill- ed." He went farther than nest of his supporters had expected hires to do in bringing about his gradual redun- tion of the imposts on good coming into the country which are among the necessities of life and in increasing the British preference on certain com- modities. Taxation is 'higher, a; shown by the increase of fifty per cent. in the Sales Tax, but it is the more expensive things which are in the luxury class that have been made to bear the brunt of the burdens, while Clothing, boots, shoos, etc., have been relieved in com- parison. om- parison. The pronouncements of Tuesday are :helpful without being in any way harmful. The eomrlaon reduction is two and a half per cent. and that for the most part is limited to articles under the British _Prefleeence But Mr. Fielding has sought. to aid agri- culture, mining, lumbering and fishing as well as to reduce :the tax against necessary articles of life. In that way has he carried out the promises ,he and his leader, tide Prime Minister, made prior to their elevation to the Treasury Benches ori, 'December 6th, last. , 41 The Budget Speech is always a notable pronouncement. This year it was shorn of attempts :it flowery de- clarations; it was a simple tale, simply told. There was need of economy in order to make both ends meet, said the veteran Finance Minister. There was a bright lining to she .doud, but of the cloud there would be no doubt. Canada must e+•onomice and in ordm. to make expenditures and reverie coincide there must be additional r-, ation. This carne chiefly in the So Tax and in higher taxes on clears and cigarettes of the more expensive varieties. There will, of courses be cons4le•r- able objection to sof • of the taxes inappsed, but on the sole, it would seem :that those wh, :.re hardest hil. are the ones best a' to stand the pressure and after all that must be the desired result. Briefly told the changes by the Min- ster of Finance were as follows:— Cultivators, harrow.., horse rakes, seed drills, manure spreaders, thresh- ing machines and ploeF, reduced from 20 per cent. to 171/2 per cent. under general tariff. Mowing machines, harvesters, 'bin - dens and reapers reduced from 121 per cent. to 10 per cent. under gen- eral tariff. Customs rates on certain other ag- ricultural implements reduced from 22 per cent. to five per cent. Woolen wearing apparel and ready- made clothing 'lowered from 35 'per cent. to 321 'per cent. Collars and cuffs r+ Intel from 371/2 per cent. to 32' per cent. Boots and shoes rr lured from 30 per cent. to 27� per cent. 'Cocoa and chocolate reduced from 271 per cent. to 25 per cent. Taxes on tobacco, 'igars and cig- arettes revised so a, t' relieve cheap- er brands and increa s rates on more expensive. Taxes reduced on matches in small • boxes. Reduction in duty fishing vessels and supplies. Reduction of 21 p preferential rates on cotton fabrics, also linens or cotton clot British "movie" 1 at lower rates. Machinery for sao der general tariff. Parts of pumps :' come in at reduced industry. iron tubing and tools reduced for plumbing.

Tax of one per cont. imposed on bank circulation, in addition to income tax. Tax on Cheques raised to 2 cents on each $50. Tax on telegrams raised to 6 cents. Soft drinks taxed live cents per gallon. en gasoline for her fishermen's Football DUBLIN ►a. KINBURN KIDS to be held in Kinburn,,on TUESDAY, JUNE 6th, 1922 Game called, at 6.80 p.m. 4...m,. -,1- Confectionery to pay five ;per cent. tax. Five per cent. tax on premiums paid to un]incensed insurance corn- paniee. Ale, beer and porter to pay tax of 15 cents per gallon. Additional tax of five per cent. on 'automobiles up to $1,200 in value, above that amount 10 per cent. Excise tax of 49 cents imposed on beet sugar. Acts of last session regarding con- sular certificates, valuation for duties and limiting depreciation on foreign exchange to 50 per cent. are all re- pealed. Coeds marking act repealed, but marking made permissive at option of Government. Import of many birds added to prohibited list. Drawback schedule revised. As far as can be judged at the present time, the proposals will meet with general swpport in the House. The Conservatives will object, but probably not to the extent of intro - clueing any amendments. Their policy is protection and they will probably declare :that the Liberal Government has simply made a few changes with- out altering the principle of previous tariffs. The Progressives are likely to grumble that they have not been given enough, though the farm im- plement reduction will be of direct benefit to them; in the main they will probably side in with the Gov- ernment, and particularly so if the Conservatives would object to the reduction. The Liberal members generally look upon the Budget as a step in the right direction. It was not expected that strikingly extensive changes could be made so soon after the new government took office, and numerically the revisions are more than were expected. - One clause which will, undoubtedly, give rise to considerable opposition from t:he Conservatives is that which docs away with the practice of limit- ing depreciation of foreign exchange. for the purpose of customs charges, to 50 per cent. It was claimed by the last Minister of Finance that the effect of the clause was to prevent the dumping of German and Austrian goods into Canada through the great- ly depreciated rate of exchange. Honv- (We r, when the now Government came into office they found that the Ger- man and Austrian goods were finding their way into Canada just the same and that the only difference was that Canadians, while they could not pur- chase direct, could buy through Hol- land or England and get the advant- age of the low exehange. The effect of it was to charge as high as 1,000 per cent. duty against German goods conning direct from Germany and a lower rate on those coming through Holland or England, se Mr. Fielding said "away with it" and announced that he would strike out the clause. * * The Budget Debate opened with Sir Henry Drayton as ehicf gunner for the official opposition. How long it will last none can say at this juncture —perhaps two weeks. Before it is done there will be thousands of words printed 0 Hansard and all sides will have aired their views. Then the vote and the 'taxes will have been ratified, with, 'perhaps, some slight and unimportant changes here and. there. When the Budget Debate is out of the way we can look for the beginning of the end; the resat will not take so very long. - cent. in British •oitton yarns and knitted goods, erg. ,its to conte in ills reduced tin - id iron tubing to ties for mining work •w414 Babbitts feed mouldy stalks 'and eleaR an n. token from the sane stack•.b*ve developed the disease in the first b . stance, and remained immune in the second. Dr. Schofield states th$ his re- search work stews thus sweet ceiover disease to be something new --a new sort of forage poisor ing, being dis- tinct from all hierto known diseases. He is continuing his re- search and experimental work to learn what it is about the moulds which causes the trouble. In the meantime, he states 47hat the feeding of sweet clover hay is attended with real danger to the stock; sweet clover ensilage less so, and pasture apparently not at all. Properly cured, he points out, eweet clover hay is not dangerous, but in view of the facts Why uee the crop, 'he asks, unless it has distinct ad- vantages to the grower—not merely because it is a fad, or "everybody's dein' it!" "There is no doubt about it," eaid Dr. Schofield, "that a new disease has occurred in the province that can be definitely linked up with sweet clover. There is no doubt, either, that the new condition is not ata in- fectious disease --at least 'it bears none of the earmarks of it. "To •illustrate -ewe took blood from an affected steer and injected it into a calf, which showed ne ill effects as a result. "Where the disease occurs we al- wayis find sweet clover connected with it somewhere. Where they are taken off the tfeed it stops, and where put on the clover again it starts. "In approaching this question, whioh is entirely new, there are several points to be considered. What kind of clover produces the disease? What species causes it? Or has the manner of feeding a bearing on it? "There is no doubt we are dealing with a poison," he went on. "I found one bad epidemic in a herd where the animals were in good condition, and were being fed a fairly well-balanced ration. But there was, of course, no question but that the animals went down quicker where the; were fed a one,-eided ratior would be natural to find. "Then the question comes: 'Is the plant 'poisonous?" "I don't think it is, though Par- nell classes it as such in his text- book on poisonous plants." Asked why Parnell had so classed it, Dr. Sehofield replied that he had evidently taken his data from Cen- tral Europe experience where it had had some adverse effect. If itis not a poisonous plant, what is the cause of the disease? Dr. Schofield ascribes it to mould which is very prevalent in some hay. The disease was not found when mould free clover was beingyfed. A baffling feature 'of Dr. Scho- field's research was the fact that very mouldy ensilage could be fed without any danger in some in- stances, while in other cases there might be no mould save some ap- parently insignificant growth in the centre of the stens of poorly -cured sweet clover 'hay. This led to the conclusion that it is not the .mould alone which is dangerous, but mould that has become altered, due to the activity of certain mico-organisms, producing a toxic effect. He point- ed out that some forms of mould are not toxic (or poisonous) while others may be extremely so. He is now investigating the types of mould found in sweet clover hay and en- silage, and will report later on the results of his findings. "The important things," said the investigator, "is that a farmer deal- ing with the crop is not competent to judge whether mould is of a dan- gerous type or not. "If I were 'a farmer I would want to know the advantages of sweet clover, and if another crop was equally efficient and not likely to be dangerous, I would grow it in pre- ference." The disease is characterized as an anaemic condition in 'the cattle eat- ing mouldy sweet clover. It seems to take two forms. Either the blood is so "thinned" that when the ani - 1 The naval and militia estimates have gone the way of all good things on the order paper, and when it came to the vote the former went through 'without necessity for the House di- viding for the vote.

SWEET CLOVER CAUSE OF NEW DISEASE Sweet clover has been mentioned n 1vc•s� ipespate'1's ss responsible fc'r fatal sicknesses in herds of On- tario cattle. So persistent were the reports that it appeared there must be something• in the nature of an epidemic. Dr. Frank Schofield, of the On- tario Veterinary College, and emin- ent bacteriologist, has been investi- gating the trouble, and'has reached the definite conclusion that it is responsible for the trouble, which can apparently be traced directly to mouldy sweet clover 'hay. In some cares e( and apparently the most seriaus.), the mould is not visible Mut; is found inside the sterns, at the joints. $Z.00 a Year Is Advance McLean Brea., Pini bars a1 seal is dehorned or receives a cut. ,food will not clot and 'heal the mit or else tbe,tissues are so weak - that a $pOd vessel breaks, .lip eitlrer cam. bleeds to There .are : the two re- avhte-isite'rttio#.. of 'file blood or of the 'bleed wessel,.
