As it is, taxation in Canada is as heavy as in any country in the world. Statisfics show Britain's taxation to be heavier per capita. But* the British figures lump local taxation with national taxation, while Canadian figures cover the fedcia levy alone- If municipal and provincia tolls were i.icluded, we venture the as serf ion that they would reveal the Can- adian citizens carrying as heavy a bur- den as his Brother brother. Something has got to be done. Other, wise this country will become so paraly- zed by tazation that capital will flee from it as from a plague, industry will wither, immigration will fall off, and the Dom- inion's prosperity will be retarded for generations to come. PORTLAW Too Late Last Week Mr I H Watson received lately the sad news from Deseronto of the death of his eldest brother, Mr James E Wat- son, and attended the funeral, which took place a week ago Sunday. The deceased was born in V'aughan township and came with his parents when two years of age to th s neighborhood, where he grew to manhood and continued to reside for a number of years He aft- erwards engaged in shoernaking at Des- eronto where he Conducted a business. In early life he responded to the cali of a higher lite and united with the Baptist church of which he was a faithful mem* ber. His wife and a family of four, and besides his brother here, his brother William, of the West, and a sister, Mrs Beattieof Osprey, survive. To all the relatives we extend sincere sympathy.

Dept. Of Agriculture Hie Department of Agriculture, Mark- dale, has just received the following communication from the Industrial and Development Council of Cunadian Mo-it Packers ; -" As a matter of much urg- ancy this Council has to issue a special warning to farmers to have all their male lambs intended for market docked anU castrated this spring without ail. The conditions described devel- oped recently with great rapliity." For the past two years the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Markdaic. in connection with the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa, have Occn insisting upon farmers to castrate their lambs. The necessity has arisen because of the decreasing demands for Canadian Iamb on Canadian markets due to injifferent quality of this meat which was soM. Sheep raisers \xho have the welfare of their industry at heart will recognize in the rcvjuest the first murmurings for the saic of mutton on the graded basis we wcuM therefore in sounding this warning make an ap- peal to all the farmers to get busy and have all Iambs prof crly looKcJ after this spring. In your own interest ue believe it would pay you financially every time. Regarding the marketing of these lambs which are properly looked after the Department of Agriculture, .Maik- dalc, will undertake to have special Salesmen on the Toronto Stock Yards tor their carload or part of carload winch are shipped to Toronto. \\'c arc here to help you in ull matters pertaining to this kinj. We would request earnestly that you make use of that availab'e service, which is rendered free of charge. The Wool Market Thcfol'owing is a clipping from the Canadian farmer. It is worth reading. " The wool market hasUitiirn a decided upward swing^)f late aiul prospects ap- pear brighter than has been the case for the past several years. This Ad- Aanccd price is all the more gratifying when an analysis of the situation shows that the demand is in no way rlcticious but is the result of the age old law of supply anj demand. The position of the wool market today is sound, prcek are far advanced from the depressed law of the past few years and considerably better than the ruling prices just prior to the World War in 1914. Consump- tion is ahead of production and as long as that situation remains true, the market for wool continues to the good."
