The view is very beautiful though one German offi to it. He had been im beginning of the war at "St. Lucia, and he liked the scenery better there. However, he allowed that the food was better in Halifax and that ne liked the officials better. I longed to comfort him by quoting the ancient adag "Heaven for climate, but hell for company!" but manfully re- frained. Major Adams, the commandant of the camp, took me through the building and introduced me to a number of the prisoners. The first group - of whom I was introduced looked rather uncomfortable and suspicious. The men at Amherst had regarded my visit and me as joyously as though I had been a traveling cir- cus with real bears and elephants; and when I had proceeded to invite them to give me their views on im mortality, sauerkraut, submarines, and the siege of Dardaneties, their joy bad suffered no diminish the A safe, reliable regulating medicine, Sold in three de roe of strength--No. 1, $1 Noo 2,83; No. 2 $5 per bor.

"I don't agree with you." "When do you think it will end?" he asked. Two or three of the others drew a trifle nearer and waited with interest for my answer. "I think," I said at length, pro- foundly, "that it will end in about a year." To my laughed. You really think so?" asked-one, looking more friendly. "Yes," said I, rather surprised. "What do you think?" "A month," he answered cheerful- "Not more than a month," "What?" 'exclaimed in amaze- ment." "You really think that Ger- many will make terms in a month?" "Will dictate terms," he amended, smiling pleasantly at me. "She will have finished all in a month." I got my breath.

The Halifax prisoners seemed to be very comfortably housed. They had pianos, games of cards, and various other contrivances for killing time, Yet they did not seem nearly so con- tented as the men at Amherst. One can understand this, of course. Most of the Amherst prisoners are accus- tomed to a life of toil, and the ease, good food, warm bedding, and free- dom for pleasure represented te them as very tolerahle holiday. But fo these officers imprisonment was 1a bore "Have you everything ° here?"

Ontario has again come to the front in a most tangible way in con- nection with the war. This time it 18 not with a gift of money, but in the equally practical and necesss way of caring for thosé who are st fering through the stress of battle, Recognizing that the war has pro duced special conditions among the disabled soldiers, the Canadian Hos- pitals Commission ha anged wi the Ontario Government, throt Department of the Provincial 8 tary,-to establish a, military hospital for the treatment of mental and shock cases. For this purpose the present hos- pital for mental diseases at Cobourg is to be converted into a military hospital, with a staff and equipment provided by.the present organiza- tion of the Department. This means that soldiers from Ontario who are brought back suffering from shock will be received into an institution specially maintained to give them proper treatment, far as known, Ontario is the only where sueh an innovation has been attempted, and it is regarded by those who are familiar with the w; age produced: by present war as one of the most needed branches of the medical service, The Cobourg hospital will be made immediately available by the trans- fer of some 180 female patients to the new institution at Whitby. Spe cial equipment such as continuous baths, vapor baths, electro-therapeu-~ tic baths and other apparatus will ne installed at Cobourg, while detached buildings will be erected from time to time to provide for an increased accommodation up to 500 patients. The staff wil! be selected from the most competent in the warious in- stitutions of the Province, and should the demand warrant it, part of the new hospital at Whitby can also be used. In making use of the facilities of the Province for this work the Cana- dian Hospitals Commission is not di- vesting itself of any responsibility, The angement with the Ontario Government provides for a fixed al- lowance per day for each patient. In this way a large' capital expenditure is avoided on the one hand for the Dominion, and there will be no de- lay in commencing treatment for those men who are now on their way to Canada or will be immediately sent here. Only Four Blinded Canadians. A statement issued by the Military Hospitals' Commission recently calls attention to the fact that an entirely erroneous idea prevails regarding the number of the members of the Cana- dian expeditionary _force who. have lost their eyesight as a result of their war service. Various agencies have been started for the collection of money in order to provide homes and special training for blinded Ca- nadian soldiers,. and unautherized persons -are-making collections oF this purpose, - "It should be distinetly under- stood," said Secretary Scammell, "that these collections are quite un necessary." The Military sion iS entirely with all blinded come under its care, "Up to the present four blinded soldiers have returned to Canada, four only: not four hundred or four thousand, as some people imagine. Of these, one was trained at St. Dun- stans, England, and is now earning bis livelihood as an insurance agent In. his heme town; his typewritten letters are a model for many sighted typists, Another lives on a farm with his friends, who are well to do.

EQUIPPING THF TROOPS, Process at Niagara Camp is a Cem plicated One. When people wateh a grand review of troops or stop to see a troop of soldiers go by on the street the idea of the equipment of the large body of men scarcely ever enters their minds. Yet every article of clothing or equipment of every soldier, and everything he uses or handles, mus: be served out to him and a record kept of it all. It may be iaterestibg to note that in every soldier's dress and equipment there are 59 separate parts or articles, The equipping and recording of everything handed out to the 12,700 soldiers in Niagara Camp is a werk requiring the highest cfficiency and care; yet it hak all been done by four men and its no wonder that the Canadian Ordnance Department is referred to as a marvel of efficiency and completeness. Major A. A. Lyndon is at the head of the Ordnance Department at Nia- gara, and he has had only three men under him. The Major's work some- -what resembles the management of a mammoth department store---a store, by the way, which is singularly short-handed. A reporter who was shown through the Ordnance buildings re- cently, was impressed with the neat- ness .and orderliness of everything. Every article is right there where the staff can lay its hands upon it at a moment's notice, whether the call is for a huge marquee or a shoulder- button for some lone private. The Ordnance Department handles everything used by horse and man in camp---all except what they eat. An Army Service Corps looks after that important matter. Records are kept of everything issued out from a field kitchen to a shoulder-strap. A few days ago Lieut. Wilson and eighteen men, forming the non-per- manent Ordnance Corps, arrived to get a little schooling into the work of the Ordnance Department before proceeding to. Camp Borden. Major Lyndon, who is now in charge of the Ordnance Department at Camp Borden, left for the new camp the end of this week, and Captain Cart- mer, who has been in charge of Lon- don Camp Ordnance, left to take his place, ------------------ Canadians Only Third, Despatches from British headquar- ters in France tell of a friendly con test in tree felling, wood chopping, and sawing among the finest woods- men in the British Empire, Cana- dians, Australians, and New Zea landers, The contest arose from a friendly argument among the soldiers con cerning the prowess of the woods- men of their section of the world A date was set for the contest, and when the teams assembled beeches and elms of about two feet in di ameter were selected. Each team of three men was to fell three trees. The Canadian team, to the ragtime music of an Anzac band, was started off first, and the brawny soldiers swung their axes with leisurely but power- ful strokes that bit deeply into the living wood. The picked Canadian team had been called away to duty and was unable to take part, but its substitute brought the three 'trees erashing to the ground in 45 minutes and 22 seconds. The Australians then' tackled their task, and, swinging their axes more quickly than the Canadians, man- aged to complete it in 31 minutes and 8 seconds. A great roar rose from the interested spectators, sol- diers off duty for the mgst part, when the time was announced. Then the Maoris of New Zealand, brown sons of the forest, were started on their task, and a murmur rose from the watchers as. they saw the swift, tireless swing of the axes wielded by the muscular brown men. Their efforts did not slacken, indeed they seemed to quicken, as the axes bit into the hard wood and the chips flew out, The Maoris felled ® the three trees in 22 minutes and 40 seconds, thus easily winning first prize. In the wood-sawing contest, how ever, the Canadians came to the fore. Ontario Boy Scouts Enlist for Service A fair estimate of the number of Boy Scouts now serving the Empire from Ontario is 1,200, drawn from all parts of the Province, One case worthy of special note is that of the Boy Scouts troop of Hespeler, On tario, comprising 24, all told, every one of whom is now wiih the colors: One of the Toronto troops shows an enlistment of 31 and another of 20. The Province of Quebec has a record of over 250 names, and estimates that the total for that Province would be about 400, Two of th Montréal troops shows a total enlist ment of over twenty for overse ser- vice, Lieut.-Colonel J. A. H of the Lord Strathcona Hor was acting Provincial Comm of the Boy Scouts Assoviation for Manitoba when the war broke out, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Order. Captain E. R.

It Ts the Best Organized of Our Live Stock Industries. Poultry raising in, bulletin, one of the best Organized and most progressive of any of our live stock industries, Co-operation amongst farmers in marketing is im- proving the product and realizing for them a higher price than they have hitherto been able to obtain, The re- organization of methods by the trade is providing against loss in handling, is assuring to the consumer a better article and establishing our export business upon a firm basis. It is estimated that Canada and Cuba, during the last twenty years, received from the United States about three-fourths of all the eggs exported by that country during that period. This situation, however, has now changed. As against an impor- tation in 1913 of 13,240,111 dozen, we imported in 1915 not more than 3,783,952 dozen. Oa the other hand, while in 1913 we exported only 147,- 149 dozen, in 1815 we exported 7,- 898,322 dozen. This constitutes a net increase in production, in two years, of at least 17,100,000 dozen. Practically all of these exports went to the United Kingdom. Notwithstanding the surplus in Canada which these figures indicate, prices during March, April, and May have remained at an extraordinarily high level. For the first quarter of the year 1916 the price to producers, selling co-operatively, bas been at least four cents in advance price reeeived, for the same period, in 1915. For the month of March, 't was at least five cents in advance, and for the month of April at least three cents in advance of last years' price for these respective months. The demand for eggs for local con- sumption, for storage purposes and for immediate export, has rarely been so keen as at the present mo- ment. This situation is clearly re- flected in the prices just quoted. Heavy domestic consumption, in the face of the high price for meats, part- ly explains this condition. Confi- dence in the export demand, on the part of the produce trade, confirms it from another direction. Notwith- standing increased production, the egg and poultry business in Canada | is in a very strong position at the pre- gent time. Breeding Cattalos.
