They are stories that are not without humor, now that it is over for them, but tho general tenor of them is grim and ugly. Among those who have returned Is Cupt. Baptist L. Johnston, of tho Third Battalion. Capt. Johnson was manager of the Dominion Bank, at the Queen and Victoria streets branch, Toronto. Ho was second in command to Major Streight, "C" Company, and was tak- en prisoner at Ypres on April 24th, 1915. He was operated upon for ap- pendicitis at Gottlngen University Ho.spltal on Nov. 17, 1917, and though he believes the operation was a good one, he was evacuated from hospital too soon, and the resulting physical condition Qualified him for repatriation. At Bischofswerde, where Capt. Johnston spent two years, and where, to give the Hun his due, the treatment was, in the main, fair, there were some twenty-Jive Cana- ' dian officers, Russians, Belgians, Italians and French were all confined together at first under the hope, ap- parently, that they would flglit amongst themselves, but they got along so well together that they were finally separated according to thair nationalities. The Russian officers took particular advantage to mix with the British, and it is predicted that they will ha a powerful influ- ence when they get back to their native country. Crefeld, to which he was remov- ed from Bischofswerde, he describes a.s a very good camp. There were about eight hundred British there, but tho authorities getting the idea that there was an escape planned whereby they would break through in a body across the Dutch border, they were all transferred to Schwarmstedt and Strohen, in the Hanover swamps, and to other camps. The exit from Crefeld was amusing to w'>,'.s;h. 'J tie officers were march- ed olT carrying all their belongings Ihey could stagger along under, ana it was a motley collection that tliey hud accumulated during their eaptiv- ily. Some had pictures, some had suitcases, some carried canaries in cages, others led dogs and rals, or carried golf slicks, tennis racquet.';, food, and the things most treasured. Tliey looked like traveling Christ- mas trees. One officer had spent a lot on pictures, and ho struggled iilong with a heavy portfolio of them as far as he could on llic two-iiii!-' Iramp to the station, and linally had to leave them on the road, offering a liyslander a rewaid if he would cany tliem, but he never saw them again. Ai Scliwarmstedt tlie camp was In Iho wilds, and the olllcois tood advan- tage of the fact lo work in a state of nature, clad in the mild breezes wlilch swept over the swamps, in the building of a swimming hole. Thoie was a little two-foot creek mcander- inf-' near the camp, and by digging out and damming this they created a pond of water on which lliey could have a mile swim, and where they got lota of exercise. Some lished there as assiduously as unsuccess- fully. At Iho camp at Holzminden, to which Ihey were transferred from Schwarmstedt, conditions were what might be expected in notoriously the worst offlcered camp in (ieruiany. An incident serves lo lllustrato the character of the rule mainlained liy Ca|)l. Niemeycr, tho camp comnian- daiil, who, by Iho way, was iti To- ronto since the war started, anil who managed to get back to Ceiniany. There had been an escape of a num- hor of officers; they had been capliu- e<l and were being brought back. When the news spread a nuiubor of Canadians rushed lo the window.s to K('o them come in. They looked down from tho third storey of the building 111 which they were incarcerated, ami wore observed by the commandant, who directed the guards to lire lliiough the upper panes of tho win- dows at which the Canadians were standing. Similar incidents occurred iiioro than once. Fortunately none of them were injured. In this camp, too, extortion was rife. For instance, the prisoners were grossly overcharg- ed for wood and for hot water. Flight Lieut. Davles, son of I,. iO. Uavies, of Toronto, had lioen forc.jd lo make a landing within the (ier- inan lines, and was brought Into a camp by two Uhlans, who put a rope around his neck and tied tlie ends to their saddles. In this manner fln'y brought him, in his heavy, sheeii- llned flying boots, twenty-flvo kilo- niotros, and ho declared that he could not have managed if one of the Uhlans had not become tired of riding and let him get up into the saddle for five kiloiiu'ires. Conditions In the caiupH latterly iiidhate that the (Jeriuans were very short of food, very short of nialerinU, but rich in discipline. Whenever a German officer approached the pri- valea spring to allenlion and jerk rounil on their lioela, so that th»y Khali .'ihv.Tya face him, like a ram- rod on a pivot.

When It Is remembered that up to a very fe>v years ago. It was necessary for th's province to Import butter for Its home needs, the growth of the dairy In- dustry there Is remarkable. In 1916 flftyelght cars of butter were export- ed. Last year the number was In- creased to niiietyplx cars. Up to â- June iBt this year, with the grass season only well begun, fifty-six cars •of butter had been sent out of the province.- This number compares with twenty-five cars In the corre- sponding p« rlod ol last year. The butter is made up in fifty-six pound Bollds and four hundred boxes make up a car-load, so that, at present prices each carload Is worth $10. 000.00 There is every Indication that the present rate of export vlll bo maintained. It iioi accelerated, during the year. All the exported butter from Manitoba Is being sent to Montreal for shipment to the Allied nations In Europe. The cheese industry la also pro gresslng. It Is only so far back as |l918 that fifty to fifty-five car loads ot cheelta were brought Into the pro- 1 ivlnce for local consumption. With} tta* output of the provincial factorlef , llncreaslng continually, the quantity iof cheese imported was considerably â- reduced last year, aud now for th« ;flrBt time In the history of tho pro- ivlnce a full carload of cheese is on jit* way for consumption elsewhere. 'ThB consignment left Winnipeg a few ,day» ago for Montreal, where it will ,1)» Kraded and shipped overr.eas- Allhough still In Its infancy and eapabl«r of considerable growth yet. the dairy Industry In \Ve.;tern Can- ,adn has been doveloplns; rupidl.v dor tng the last few years. A high stnn- il^li Qt quality Is striven for, th« aim being to produce butter of the best flavor with long kceptag qualities. That the erorta In this direction have met with some measure of success Is evidenced by the growing demand for butter from these provincesâ€" a de- maud which Is far greater than the output. Pasteurization Is almost universal In the creameries of Western Canada. (»nd mere than ninety per cent of the butter mads lu Maaitobs thlj'year will be fnuu pasteurized cvtam. The application of tho Storch test has been very satisfactory In enabling the dairy offlciala to deterniin^ whe- ther this process hat been properly carried out At niral points th* cream Is tested In the creameries by. a travelliug iuipector; In the labor*- terles of the Depurtment of Agricul- ture the test Is applied to repreaea- tattve samples ot butter. When the Department now tests and gnidea % car load of butter, it can, to all prac- tical purposes, tell just how lon( It can stand In cold storage witheut de- terioration. At the present time the creameries ere reoeivlaj forty-three cents % iwund at point m shlpwent tor sp^ cial grade of butter; forty-two cents for I^. 1 and forty ceats (er N«- a. / \ MMWHMefMlllHI
