THE NKW ONTARIO CAHINET It in a feather in Mr. Ferguson's hut to know that the Farmer's Sun and Christian (iuardian both endorse liis cabinet as being a strong one and peculiarly satisfactory, considering the veiled opposition offered during the campaign by the latter and open opposition of the former. Both have decided that prohibition was not pass- ing through Mich a serious crish; as they feared. Tho Guardian especially is quite open in its praise of the new Cabinet and has some very nice thngs to say about the individual members thereof. As a matter of fact we have probably got today the most virile Cabinet that Ontario has seen since the days of Sir Oliver Mowat or Sir James Whitney. The Guardian looks upon the matter from a purely prohibition standpoint, ignoring other questions and the bus- iness acumen of the new government, which will count qutc as big. Many of our readers have read the Sun's favorable comment on the nc'.v government, and we quote below some of the Ouurdian's comment, from which il will surely be learned by those who voted against the Ferru- son candidates in the recent election from conscientious motives, and oth- rs from political motives, that pro- libition has not, and never had, any- thing to fear from the new govern- ment. Prohibition never vva in jeopardy at the hands of Mr. Fer son, and his enemies now admit it. ["he following excerpts are from last veek's Guardian, and should make (me of those who got too hot under the collar during the campaign feel ruther ashamed of themselves. The {Guardian says: "Once more, however, the pe-imist:. have liiM-n proven wrung." The choice of Attorney General is "a peculiarly satisfactory one. His administration ought to show energy iind ability. He is also exceedingly fovornblc to the O.T.A." "Dr. Forbes Godfrey, who becomes Minister of Public Health and Labor, is the only member of the Cabinet who li.i outspoken opposition lo pro- hibition, and bis position should not give him many opportunities to do the Ontario Temperance Act much harm." "Col. W. H. Price, Provincial Treas- urer will maiiago his department well. He is also sympathetic to the O. T.A. and was one of Air. Hearst's right hand men in introducing temp- enu'.ce legislation into tlu> province." Mrs. Hector McLean T. C.

Jl STICK The fiendish murder of a little girl i;i northern Ontario lust week is alniiit sufficient to make one dis- believe that mankind was made in the ii. : ;ivr of Uod. Some of them, at least, appear to have been made in the image of satan. Only a devil could commit nn act like that. And the pity is that .sometimes the crim- inal goe;i unpunished on this earth. In this ease ho nan not yet been dis- covered, and one is reminded of a Mimilur crime committed near Stay- tier some years ago, when Gloria Whalin, a little school girl, \vas done to death in a similar manner and her sla.\er was never identified. Our de- tective force is pretty untiring and successful in its efforts, hut the crim- inal i> .sometimes too cunning even for them, and hist case is left for a higher authority to deal with. -We pity the man who does not believe that eternal justice reigns, and that murder will meet its just reward, if not here, t hen hereafter. KITCIIKNKR NOT BETRAYED It is <|iieer what pranks newspaper type will sometimes play. The Tor- onto Star on Saturday last printed an editorial to prove that Kitchener was not betrayed by a spy, but rather that the vessel on which he sailed was sunk by a mine. The first paragraph in the article read as follows: "The report that Kitchener was be- trayed to his death by the idle prattle of the Czar whHe in his travelling was not torpedoed. It was blown the facts concerning the great general's fatal voyage on the way to Rus.iia." We presume, in common courtesy we will have to accept the above arg umcnt ns indisputable evidence that Kitchener was not Ifetrayed, but it looks at thin distance as though the Star's editor had been betrayed by a Toronto' bootlegger. Mr*. George Hnlthy, who lived near Hrampton, was thrown from a rig ilighting on her head. She was pick- ed up unconscious and died a few lours afterwards. Mrs. Hector McLean, nn old pion- eer of Artemesia, died nt her home, two iiiles south of Priceville, on Tuesday of last week at the age of 80 yenrs.The Durham Chronicle says of her : Mrs McLean was about 80 years of ago and to the last enjoyed the health of those who have lived their life \vith nature, in the open fields and 1 y the babling brooks, rather than in the cooped-up life of the mode: n town or city. Mrs. McLean enjoyed her good health up to with- in a week of her death, and when her time came, .slept peacefuly away, with : i-arcely a tremour to tell the anxious watchers when the slender thread had snapped and her spirit had moved on to join her forebears. Mr. McLean, her husband, died 14 yrars ago Mrs. McLean, whose maiden name v. as Christina McMillan, was born in Argylshire, Scotland, on the Island of Tyree, about 80 years ago. She came to Canada in 1851, with her j parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Colin McMillan, and settled at Fergus, where they remained till about 1854, when the family came to Lot 5 on the South Line, Artemesia. Mr. McMil- lan, her father, died about 35 years ago, and her mother about 40 years ago. Ms. McLean was married in 18G3 lo the late Hector McLean, who died in 1009, the ceremony being per- formed by the Rev. Donald Fraser, who was then pastor of the Presby- terian congregation at I'ricevjlle. The young couple commenced home- making on the farm on which she died, and where she has always lived since her manage 00 years ago. A family of eight .sons and one daughter wore born, as follows : Co- lin, John, Archie, Donald and .Mal- colm, all residents in the vicinity of 1'riceville, the latter on the home- stead ; Neil, died in 1'J14; Alexander, in South Dakota ; William, in big Sandy, Montanna, and Sarah C. (Mrs. Ibbitson), in Toronto. Mrs. McLean also leaves two bro- ther.-, Messrs. MaK-olm and Donald McMillan, both residing on the South Line Mrs. McLean was a devoted mem- : her ol' St. Columbia Presbyterian Church, in which she took deep in- u iv t and to which she contributed in i . small manner since its com- mencement many years ago.

FLESHERTON. GOOD MONEY IN GOOD FARMING 'Let's Get to Work and Pay Off the Mortgage" N INE years ago Canada's na- tional debt was about one- third of a billion. It is more than two and one-third billions today. Our debts have greatly in- creased our revenues must also go up. The farmer has to bear his share of the increased burden. That means he must increase his revenue. Complaint has been heard that farmers under present conditions in Canada cannot make farming pay. And yet many thousands of Canadian farmers do make it pay. How Is It Done? Patient and industrious "carry on " will do wonders, but some- thing more is needed. Too often "patient industry" is coupled with "dull persistence" in poorly thought out methods. Farmers today more than ever, must plan ahead, as well as "plug along"; indeed they have no op- tion, if they wish to succeed. Co-ordination of head and hand will mean real success. Farming in Canada has paid and pays now on many farms. It can be made to pay on almost every farm. Cana- dian agriculture has passed through low profit-making eras success- fully in the past and can du so Crop Returns Should be Increased On the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa some crop costs and crop profits in 1922 as contrasted with all-Ontario average crop costs and crop profits are given below. The all-Ontario figures are in brackets: Cost per acre Hay $21.13 ($13.50) Corn for Forage $47.50 ($33.75) Oats $26.47 ($19.32) Profit per acre $11.21 ($5.09) $10.38 ($2.86) $ 7.33 < .04) Similar rcxulto can be ihown from the Dominion Experimental Farms In every province. Experimental Farm crops are sometimes claimed to be produced at too great cost. Thousands of experiments, however, show that increased cropping costs wisely applied up to a reasonable point always increase crop profits. Thia is true on the Experimental Farm * and on any and every farm. With the increased cost of pro- duction, the higher standards of living now prevailing cannot be maintained by poor farm manage- ment, " boarder " milkers, scrub beeves, poor quality hogs or non- profi table hens. That even under present condi- tions profits may be made is testi- fied by many skilful, observant and non-plunging farmers, who believe more in the policy of "slow but sure" and "pay as you go" rather than speed, with excessive bor- rowing and the often consequent disaster. The results on our Experimental Farms also bear testimony to the value of thorough, skilful work. The Farmer Must Manufacture But crops alone are not enough. The farmer must change his crops into less bulky and more high- priced products milk, pork, beef, mutton, poultry, etc. With fair yielding cows dairying shows good profits in Canada. The average cow has increased her yield 25% in the last ten years. She can quite readily go up an- other 25','c and more, and there's where the profit lies. Better feed- ing, better selection and better breeding will do the job feed, weed, breed. To do better feeding means better pastures and more generous supplies of palatable roughage. Short rotations including clover and ensilage crops (.corn, sunflower, pea and oat, etc.) will provide feed in abundance for both summer and winter. The experiments and in- vestigations which the Dominion Department of Agriculture have carried on prove that farming, scientifically and systematically undertaken will pay profits. The records and particulars of such work in every province are avail- able to the Canadian farmer. Aro TOO growing train, or producing ecd or interested in fruit?
