[" pu 4 th nA : \u2019 * - «of choice imported blood lines, A fair- SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR DISPERSION OF TWO WELL-KNOWN AYRSHIRE HERDS Cedarcroft Herd is Owned by Mr.S.J.Hamilton, Nether- dale by Mr.J.R.McOuat.Sales April 27th.and 28th.The two Ayrshire sales scheduled \u2018for April 27th.and 28th, at \u201cCedar- croft,\u201d St.Eustache, Que, and \u201cNet- -herdale,\u201d Ormstown, Que, will present the largest offering of fully accredited «marketable Ayrshires ever offered to the public at one time.By marketable we mean Ayrshires in their prime and for which no excuses have to be offered; neither sale is loaded up with old or blemished cows, or a preponderance of young bulls which is sometimes the case.Eighty per cent.of the offering is between one and seven years old, and the majority of these, cows Just in their prime, and a fair proportion of bred and open heifers.Of the 8ix bulls listed in the two sales four are really outstanding and of a class not always available by private treaty.\u201cCedarcroft\u201d is one of the oldest herds in Quebec, being founded by the present owner's father in 1881 and some of the animals offered are directly descended from the original foundation.The chief attraction, however, in this herd today is the preponderance ly large importation was made by Mr.Hamilton in 1923, one of the last before the Foot and Mouth disease Embargo was put into effect; and the females from this importation were mostly retained for the Cedarcroft herd.These with their progeny comprise a good shure of the offering and most of the young things are sired by Rowallun Mintmaster -84555- the herd sire imported then.From this offering it will be possible to select a very good entry for any of the show classes for next fall, particularly in cows and anyone in need of show or foundation breeding material cannot afford to overlook this sale.Very good entries for the \u201cproduce of dam\u201d and \u201cget of sire\u201d class could be selected.Special mention could be made of several of the animals, as they are really outstanding if space would permit, but a card to the sale manager or the owner will bring you a copy of the catalogue which tells the story in detail.\u201cNetherdule\u201d was more recently founded, although the owner, Mr.J.R.McOuat is from a family equally long and honorably associated with the breed; and when he located here some ten years ago the home herd was drawn on for a foundation.Mr.Me- Quat has specialized on cows more specially from n dairy standpoint than any other; nevertheless he bad the inborn instinct of an Ayrshire man and we feel satisfied that the offering he will present on April 28th, will be something of a revelation even to men used to good Ayrshires.The bulk of this offering are young cows, both registered and high grade just calving for summer milking and we do predict that sale day will present a row of udders that would not disgrace the breed at a Nalional Exhibition.Unfortunately no R.O.P.work has been done, otherwise the catalogue would have been able Lo tell a stronger story.We would give a good deal, for the sake of the publicity it would give the breed, to see this herd as it stands today entered in a Cow Testing Association.Ayrshire men whether augmenting an established herd, or founding a new one will find these two events of supreme importance, and we have no hesitation in saying that by a judicious selection at these two sales a new man could place himself on a level with the best herds in the country.These sales are in hands that guarantee an absolute square deal to the purchasers.CANADIANS BEGGED T0 STUDY ANTHEN \u201cO Canada is Generally Rendered as Meaningless Jumble of Sounds A stuff writer on the Free Press, Winnipeg, puts in a vigorous plea for the study of \u201c0 Canada.\u201d The Canadian national anthem as it is sung is thus described: O Canada! La la la de de land De de de dee ma ma ma na ma ma (Here glance at your neighbor and see how she is getting along.Feeling sure that she does not know any more about it than you do yourself, you resume), and finally, with great relief, swell out the chorus.\u201cNow that we have a reul national anthem of convenient length, set to noble and inspiring music, let us learn the first verse at least, so that visit- {ng Old Country people and Americans may not have reason to stare arkance at our uncomfortable efforts to cover up our ignorance.\u201cThe opening \u2018O Canada\u2019 is always sung with a mighty enthusiasm.Then there is an immediate and miserable falling-off in volume until the last two lines are reached, when it is possible to work in, rightly or wrongly, several more vociferous \u2018O Canada\u2019s\u2019 \u201cThe Weir version seems to have met with the greatest approval and is generally adopted for use.But even 3f one of the older versions is preferred, it would surely be better to be singing something definite than to be moving the lips in the production of «unintelligible noises.\u201d DEROCHER CASE IS CONTINUED Hearing in Extradition Proceedings Against Napoleon Derocher Put Over Until May 10th.Extradition proceedings in the Napoleon Derocher case have been discontinued until May 10.The adjournment was taken to allow the government additional time to prepare their case, it was said.Attorney Edward H.Lockwood, of New York City, counsel for the British Consul, was at Malone and conferred with District Attorney H.W.Main who has looked after the case here during Mr.Lockwood's absence.At the time of the adjourned hearing before U.S.Commissioner Burno, Derocher will be tried for extradition.He is wanted in Valleyfield, on a manslaughter charge which was brought following the death of Helena Primeau.The young girl died on February 14th.last.She is said to have died from injuries she sustained when an automobile operated by Derocher at New Erin, last October, struck a horse drawn rig in which she was rid- ng.Derocher is now a resident of Fort Covington, N.Y., and is fighting extradition through his counsel, Attorney E.W.Scripter, of Fort Covington.GROWTH OF PLANTS NOT AL WAYS TO LIGHT Will Grow Away if Roots Are in Water in Light, Explains Prof.Priestley.Why plants grow to greater length in the dark than in the light, why they turn their leaves and stulks toward the light and away from the dark, as well us many other interesting phenomena in connection with the ef- feet of light on the growth of plants, were discussed in an illustrated lecture given in Convocation Hall, University of Toronto, recently, under the auspices of the Royal Canadian Institute by Prof.J.H.Priestley of the Department of Botany of Leeds University, Leeds, England, .\u201c .Dr.Priestly traced the history of the theory of the effect of light on the growth of plants.Ninety years ago the botunist Ducandot had put forward certain suggestions as to the cause of the actions of plants, and since that time there has been several more or less modern solutions tu the problem.The speaker pointed out that Ducandot had been correct in many respects, but that intricate research work on the part of several German and English botanists had al- Lered the theory held by the former.Prof.Priestly declared that the old theory seemed very sensible and practical but that it had been given up because oO.suvsequent experiments, for- meriy it had been believed that growth of a plant was always toward the light but it had been discovered that if a root were grown in water in the light, it would grow away from the source of the light rather than toward it.TO REMOVE RUST FROM STEEL Cuver the rusted steel for two or \u201chree days wilh

& Power Co.Releases Fine Lot of Big Speckled Trout.President Edward Wright, of the Malone Light & Power Company, stated recently that approximately four hundred speckled trout, weighing from one-half pound to two and one-half pounds, have been released, under his direction, from the private ponds of the company at Chasm Falls, and these fine trout are now enjoying life in Salmon river and are finding their own desired environment along the rapids and pools of the river.The trout were released from the Company's ponds at Chasm Fulls in order that the ponds might be placed in readiness for the reception of approximately 40,000 trout fingerlings which are to be reared there, these young trout having been secured from the Federal Fish Hatcheries by the Malone Fish and Game Club.The Malone Light and Power Co, through President Wright, generously offered the use of the ponds on the company's park to the Fish and Game Club for the Club's trout rearing project, and will also sec that the young trout, when placed in the ponds, huve proper care, food ete.President Weight stated that he now has a force of men employed, overhauling the dams, cleaning the ponds and installing the rearing troughs, so that all will be in readiness for receiving the trout fingerlings from the Federal hatchery within a few days.The Malone Fish and Game Club's plan is to keep the young trout in the rearing ponds untl .cy reich a length of about six inches, and to then plant them in nearby waters.By keeping the young trout until they reach the size stated ,they will be better able to care for themselves when finally planted elsewhere.MEMBERS OF BOARD OF TRADE The following comprise the list of Board of Trade members to date for the year 1927.Further names will Le published as memberships are received

record and one of the most active.Practically every bill introduced was pussed and has become law.There were four major rejec- tions\u2014two in each House.In the Commons the Members rejected one private bill: The Georgian Bay Canal Bill, wlrile Mr.Cahan withdrew the Sun Life legislution when it was up for third reading.\u2018The Sun Life Bill had a rather peculiar experience, being talked out on two nights, amended substantially when in the committee stage and then sent buck into com- \u2018mittee before the third reading.The trouble was over the manner in which the $2,000,000 of new share capital was to be distributed.The U.F.A.members and the Department of Insurance did not want it to be by way -of stock bonus, and Mr.Jacobs, speaking for Mr.Cahan, promised that the shares would be fully paid up.Mr.Spencer from Alberta wanted to make sure, so on Tuesday night he wanted to add the following amendment: Of the capital stock to be hereafter issued no shares shall be distributed to the stockholders as dividends or bonuses, or shall be issued in any other way than in return for the payment to the company of at least the full par value thereof, After the issue of any capital in ex- -cess of two million dollars no dividend to shareholders shall be declared by the company in excess of fifteen per cent.per annum.A debate followed in which Mr.\u2018Cahan said: \u2018That part of tne amendment of my hon.friend from Battle River which would provide that never in the future shall the company pay over 15 per cent.to their stockholders is utterly unfair, because this company, which was incorporated just before confederation paid to its shareholders in cash dividends on its subscribed stock for nearly forty years never more than 2% per cent, and frequently less than that.In that way they have accumulated as a guarantee to their policyholders over $30,000,000 which belongs to the stockholders and is the stockholders\u2019 money, and to say that at no time in the future shall they pay over 15 per cent, if this company should in the future be in a position to distribute more, is utterly unfair, and 1 say that this parliament should not insert such a provision on account of the forty years during which the stockholders got practically mothing.\u201d Sun Life Bill Withdrawn.Finally it was decided that only the first paragraph would be put in the Bill.The Bill was reported out of committee but the members demandes that it be reprinted before third reading was given.On it coming up the next day Mr.Spencer again introduced his amendment saying: \u201cI am very sorry that the second part of my amendment to clause 2 was rejected last night, fqr with the rejection of the amendment restricting dividends the prohibition of stock bonuses is senseless.All that it will mean will be that instead of declaring a bonus of stock, there will be declared a special dividend to be repaid immediately as a payment by shareholders on their stock.The so-called concession by the company in respect of stock bonus is therefore a joke.It is probable that the company\u2019s refusal to accept the amendment limiting dividends to 15 per cent.is due to the fact that since the beginning of 1927 the company\u2019s dividend rate has been increased from 15 per cent.to 25 per cent.\u2018This makes the actual rate of aividend on the payments male by shareholders on their capital 123 per cent.per annum, or on the total payment by shareholders on capital and premium account, 89 per cent.\u201d Mr.Cahan made a decided reply pointing out that: \u201cThe adverse suggestion, as TI have understood it, is that this company might issue a stock bonus.I wish to say\u2014and it cannot be contradicted\u2014that on the subscribed capital of this company the average cash dividend annually paid from the time that it was incorporated in 1865 down to the present time lus been 3.5 per cent\u2014three and five- tenths per cent.The company had the right up to 1910 to share whatever it pleased with the participating shareholders, but was restricted, as, other companies were, in 1910, to receive from its participating policy business, This company comes before this House and offers to reduce that ten to three only ten per cent, of profits arising per cent.I say that this company is entitled to fair consideration, and further that a company which, of its own accord, has reduced its share of pare ticipating policy profits from ten per cent.to three per cent.cannot be properly accused of attempting ny sort of jobbing transactions by the faveur of this House.| repudiate that There is nothing in it.\u2018This company is proceeding in a fair, open, straightforward way to do ils business, to add to the reputation of the company no doubt, but te add to the reputation of this country as well.\u201cNow, 1 ark for reconsideration of this amendment, because if it passes the company must withdraw the bill, It will be absolutely impossible for :t to proceed under the cireaumstances, and it will have to take the best meuns available outside parliament for pra- tecting its business in such way as its financial advisers may see fit to suggest.The company can, as everyone knows who is accustomed to life insurance, cease from this day forth its participating policy branch and confine itself to ordinary insurance; it can take several alternatives\u2014it can reifisure in an English company for a large part of its business, or it can organize an English company and carry on the English business under un organization known as the Sun Life Company of Great Britain; in short, it can take a dozcn expedients.But it came before this House and for two days it explained frankly to the cow- mittee on banking and commerce the purpose of the bill, and received the ussent and approval of the majority of that committee.\u2018The bill came before this House again, and on three occasions there was an attempt to talk it out.1 make no complaint of that.I merely say that in respect of private bills there must be self-restraint on the part of members or it may be impossible in the future to secure private legislation.Last night 1 might have stopped all the private bills following this bill, but 1 did not; 1 allowed them to go through for third reading, although under the rules, 1 had strong grounds for opposing them.1 deemed it right and just that the parties interested in those bills should have an opportunity to be heard.I have had an opportunity to be heard today under a special resolution.| do not understand the cause of this House reversing its judgment, and all 1 can say is that if this amendment is made to restrict the dividends of this company for all time in the future to 15 per cent.it is not right, it is not Just, because during sixty-five years, in order to give to the policyholders it greater guarantee, the management have left in the company $30,000,000 of individual shareholders profits, and intend to leave them there until the Sun Life Company is the foremost in strength throughout the British Fe pire\u2014us it might well have been in the neur future if it had received the support and confidence of this House.Mr.Ward: I have been given to understand that since this bill was introduced the company has held a meeting of its stockholders\u2014quite a hurried one\u2014and declared the dividends would be 25, not 13 per cent.Is that so?Mr.Cahan: 1 cannot say as to that, Mr.Chairman, but 1 doubt it very much.I never heard of such a thing.The company did have a meeting of which they notified, as required by law, every policyholder and every stockholder, and not a single policyholder or stockholder raised any objection to this bill.Mr.Hepburn: When this bill was before the banking and commerce committee and the superintendent of insurance registered such strong objection to it, did he not repeatedly sax that the main purpose of the mea- sre wus to conceal the actual profits that the stockholders were going to pay themselves: and is not the very fact that the company now refuses to accept the restriction of 15 per cent, confirmation of his statement?Mr.Cahan: All 1 can say, Mr.Chairman, is that under the proper practice of this House and of its com- wittees in times past\u2014and 1 have attended before them on many occasions \u2014\u2014departmental officials appeared before committees and gave their evidence.That rule seems to be abandon.cd now, and instead of members of the committee and of the House reaching a decision on the facts presented to them, we have some permanent officials not only atlempting Lo usurp the functions of this legislative body but of its standing committees, In contradiction of what was alleged by Mr, Finlayson, I say on my judgment as a lawyer and my honour as a gen- tieman that there is no intention on the part of this company lo make à stock-jobbing venture of its proposed issue of additional capital.He was followed by Mr.Robb

superintendent of insurance.That gentleman requires no defence from any person.In the insurance field of Canada he is recognized as a fearless official who is afraid neither of the wealthy company nor of the company on the verge of bankruptey.With all that my hon, friend the member for St.Lawrence- St.George, the promoter of the bill,\u2014- Mr.Cahan: 1 beg my hon.friend's pardon, 1 am not the promoter of this bill.Mr.Robb: Then 1 withdraw that.With all that he has said regarding the Sun Life Company being one of the best insurance companies in Canada, yes, one of the best in the British Empire, and vof its excellent management, 1 quite agree.As a Cunadian 1 have been proud of the Sun Life Insurance Company as 1 have travelled about from place to place and find it doing business that is a credit to Canada.But the fact that the Sun Life Insurance Company has been so well managed that it is very profitable to its stockholders is no reason why this department or the department of insurance should neglect the protection of its policyholders.Now, it seems to me that my hon.friend, although he has displayed much heat, has not challenged the amendment presented by the hon.member as to the value of the 15 per cent.And 15 per cent.on $4,000,000, where the actual cash put into the whole business from the start is only $805,- 000, is not a very bad return.It is true, as my hon.friend has said, that the company proposes tu issue the shares for the additional capital for cush payments.But had my hon.friend listened to the advice of the superintendent of insurance, that there should be a guarantee that the actual cush be put into the business, there would have been no opposition from this side of the Honse.| want to assure the House that 1 am not one of those who are afraid of big business.I um proud that the big institutions of Canada can go throughout the world and say they are strong; but 1 have a duty us Minister of Finance of this country, and the superintendent of insurance has a duty, to see to it that all these companies are kept on a parity.1f legislation is required for this or any other company it should be brought in in the form of a general bill.I propose during the year to have the superintendent of insurance confer with the dirferent life insurance companies of Canada and if necessary, at the next session of par- linment, propose such amendments to the insurance laws of the country as will meet the new conditions that have arisen since the last amendment was adopted.We shall be glad to do this, always bearing in mind that the insurance companies have no greater rights to profits from their investments than has any other business.We will take care of the policyholders, for after all it is their money that provides the capital.I want to say that the policyholders' investments in the Sun Life Company have been well managed, and I am proud of the company.At the same time, I believe that 15 per cent.is not an ungenerous interest on the investment.The amendment was carried, thereupon Mr.Cahan withdrew the Bill and one of the last acts of the session was on Thursday night when on the motion of Mr.Cahan the fees deposited by the Company, as required by the rules of the House, were refunded less the costs.usual printing and translating Politics in the Raw.The Postmaster General has aroused the wrath of

blow, quoting what the Conservatives had done between July and September last year, also referring to the 908 dismissals after the 1911 election from October to Dec.81st., as compared to his 168 dismissals this year.By chance it happens that the Postmaster General himself was a member of the civil service in 1911 and he was fired then, but he held no grudge saying: I want to say to him that

minutes notice in 1911.Mr.Hanson: plained about it.Mr.Veniot: So I learned in a very good school.I learned my lesson from my hon.friends.Mr.Bennett: You admit you served it?Mr.Veniot: Of course 1

more of that sort of thing were done, there would be less interference in politics by public officials.Nova Scotians Happy.The Maritime members go home satisfied this year, the first time for many

are going to be a nlentiful this year as last vear but fortunately they will cease feeding ahout July 1.\u2018There will he a fow of them present.however, during the entire growing season.These belong to a group which has four-year life cycle but they will not he numerous enough to do much damage.Since almost the entire white grub population will mature in early summer and as they do ,not feed very extensively near the end, it may he expected that very little damage to corn or potatoes will oceur this year.A considerable amount of damage will probably take place in infested meadows, pastures, and strawberry plantations.Unfortunately.nothing can he done to overcome this condition.What about future infestations?it may he definitely statea that this spring is the time to prevent losses in 1928, '29 and \u201830.The majority of the white grubs now in the soil will he heetles this fall, In the following spring (in 1928) they will emerge from the ground and lay their eggs, probably during the last week of May or the first week of June, It is well known to entomologists that these insects do not lay their eggs to any extent in fields possessing a good crop of clovers, therefore, the procedure to follow is very evident.The land which will be nlanted to corn.potatoes, strawberries and other susceptible crops in 1929 and 1930 should be seeded down heavily with clovers this spring, The heavy sceding down in 1927 will ensure a good stand of clover which will prevent egg-laying in that land in 1928.Then in 1929 and 1930, when the white grubs will be plentiful again this clover sod will be free of them.It may be nlowed in the fall of 1928 and the crops susceptible to white grubs planted in it during 1929 and 1930 without fear of losses.It must be understood that seeding down to clover any year will not do.The peeding down to clover on grub in- tested land must be done this year.The Poultry Tribune says that there are 8,000 hatcheries In the United States, producing more than 500.000,000 chicks annually.To produce the hatching eggs tor these hatcheries it takes over 240,00, farm flocks.The first commercias shipment of baby chicks was made ahout 35 years ago, but it 1s in the fast 15 years that the chief expan- gion has come, during which time the industry has been on a yeally firm foundation, with definitely established methods, Our greatent objection to a holiday is

Greatest Tea Drinkers in World.Each Canadian drinks over four pounds of tea per year, or practically five times as much as our Am- erfcan cousin to the south of us.ireat Britain (including Northern Ireland) leads the world in point of tea consumption by using yearly over 400 million pounds, or nearly eight and three-quarter pounds per capita.Then comes the United States, using 100 million pounds.but less than a pound of tea per head.Next comes Australia, with a consumption of 49 million pounds, and Canada uses 36 milllons.No reliable statistics are available for China or Russia.Both these countries consume a large amount of tea in total, but the per capita figure fs very small.A great deal more tea would be used on this continent if the public were educated to demand fresh tea, Old tea is flat and unpalatable.Furthermore, tea fs a very delicate vegetable growth, which deteriorates unless kept sealed.A bottle of ginger ale soon loses its flavor and piquancy if exposed to the air This is exactly what occurs in the case of tea if the air is allowed to evaporate its freshness.ANIMAL POSING L.E.Etbanks A month or so ago I was
