ISCOVERING C One of the interesting, if inevitable, results of the great war is the way in which it has the course of summer travel Formerly, when Mr. and Mrs. Upper Ten. of Halifax or. Toronto diverted f+ § Wished to arrange their holiday itin- PF erary, there was positively only one Ff place to go--Kurope. Now: things have changed. Mr. and Mrs. Upper Ten must go somewhere for a stmmer vacation, and so they have discovered Canada, They have found to their immense vi surprise, that Canada. has the most g0rgeous scenery in the world, that nothing in ary of the older countries can compare with our wonderful Rocky Mountains, and that nowhere I8 there a more exguisité pasforal landscape than in Ontario, or in the British Columbia Valleys. Even the prairies, despised and re- Jected, by descriptive writers, have an rif to the real Westerner. ous?' he says, in genuine E , "monotonous? Never! T'd motor over a praitie tratl thal take the finest macadamized lakeshore drive in the world. That's monotony, if you like, Nothing but smooth pavements, conventional bou- levards gnd formal city houses with their neat little gardens." "No, sir, give me the open road where you ¢an'let out a warwhoop, if you like, sing if you want to, drive with your hat off, and your sleeves rolled up, take a pet-shot gt the gophers bobbing up to watch you pass, dr stop for a 'chin'chin' at a homesteader's shack and find him mighty glad to see you. What would one of your city folk think, I ask you, if you 'stopped at his door to Say, 'I'm driving across your town; and thought I'd just stop for achat.' Goa! &'d have you arrested!

NIMALS, 'no matter what kind, always put on weight the most cheaply when they are young and the younger they are the cheaper the gains. As a consequence Of this it is essential that the man raising young stock realize 'this and give a 'veasonable amount 'of attention to the young animals he is expecting. A few days before farrowing the sow should be brought imto the pen so that she may become acenstomed «ww ner surround- ings. A close watch should be kept on her during these days in order to ward off constipation, which is the bug-bear of .8 great many swine breeders. Onee this condition oc- curs very little can be dohe, so It is a mafter of prevention rather than cure; When the animal is taken ino the new quarter her féed should be slappy and of a laxative nature, a libérak supply of roots and a small amount of linseed ofl meal helping to bring about this condition. The meal ration for a brood sow may consist of equal parts ground oats and wheal middiings. At the time of farrowing tlje sow should be left alone but the atten- dant should be keeping a watch on her to see that 'no trouble arises. After farrowing the gow should not be disturbed for ten twelve hours and her first feed should be little nmiore than a drink of water with a little middlings in it. After this the ration may be increased to full feed, taking eight to ten days to do so. When the. young pigs are weaned the ration should be eut down to stop the secretion of milk and, if it is necessary, turn the sow in with the young pigs ofice a day for a few days. If, when the pigs are born, they are good and strong and vigorous they should be left alone for a while dnd as soon as the right time arg. rives they should be placed to th teat to suck as goon as possible. If the pigs are vigorous: and healthy, nothing special need be done for them until they are two or three weeks old, by which time they should have learned tn éat a little bit by picking around their mother's trough. At this time, if it is con- venient, a small trough, away from the large trough, should be provid. ed and the youngsters should be giv- en skim milk with'a little middlipgs stirred into it. . AS the pigs grow older more middlings may be stirred into the milk. Outdoor exercise is very import- ant for young pigs and every means should be used to induce the young pigs 10 take it, but precautions must be taken to protect the youngsters from cold winds and the hot sun, If the sow is turned out with the pigs she should pet be given too much range at (irst unless the little fellows become unduly tired as a result of travelling too far,' : Boar pigs not intended for breed- ing purposes should be castrated be- fore weaning to get the best results, thotigh there Is not much danger in castrating at a latter date provided care is observed in connection with the operations Clean hands and in- struments and disinfectant on the wound will overcome all danger of infection. ~~J.

JUNE7,1919. = LETTERS 10 [HE EDITOR | ett tn + Solidarity of Citizenski Victoria, B.C, May 30---(To the Editor): The "One Big Union" not of labor ranks only, but of the whale citizenship of Canada, male and fe- male, is the only' measure that can save the country from social, indus- trial and fingncial disaster due, to a further continuance of unbalanced conditions and conflict of interests, Soldier or civillan, employer or em- ployee, capitalist or laborer, the in- equalities, injustice and suffering of the past d present, notwithstand- ing, our lives and interests, as one big family, are bound up in, and de- termined by; the measure of unity or division, the solidarity or instability of our citizenship. Absence 'of the former is wholly responsible for the condition g that have brought Canada to the present impasse. We are faced with a choice df: A. A continuation of instability and increasing unrest, wherein part of the population, without national direction, is producing a portion only of the necessaries of life} and doing such other service as carries us along in a slip-shod existence, in order that the more fortunate may lead a de- moralizing life of idle, wasteful lux- ury, until such conditions end in early and inevitable revolution. B. Solidarity of citizenship and na- tional interests, the adoption, accept- ance and 'enforcement of a safe and sane middle-class democracy, 'based upon a fifty-fifty of natiopal service and of leisure and pleasure for all; of nationally directed production upon a self-supporting basis, and the stabilizing of remuneration for ser- vice with the cost of living and of value of exchange, based upon the time-cost of production and distribu- tion, whereby a permanent balance may be established. We have great problems to solve, grave injustices to redress, wrongs to right, but we can néver raise Can- ada to the coming "world standard' by hanging on to one another's throats or by rough-house methods of any description. A united peo- ple, a true democracy, does not tol- erate an autocracy of labor or ef re- turned soldiers, or of any other form of 'despotic, factional or party--po- litical control, any more than it or labor is tolerant of any autocracy of capital. The soluti depends upon com- bined como yonne and determined action, through "constitutional" meth- ods and by peaceful means. Time Is pregnant with catastrophe, 80 let us lose no time in burying the dead past under a nation-wide or ganization of "Solidarity of Citizen- ard of democracy. Can we look7to the public press of Canada to give a whole-hearted ad- vocacy \and voluntary assistance to such a movement? Can we look to existing organizations and socie- ties of democratic tendencies to drop factional efforts and take a leading part in the consolidating of the forces of citizenship? Can we look to those, who have had four years' supreme experience in the practical mobilization and direction of forces, to take a leading part in the mobili- satioh 'of citizenship and the orderly direction of the advance movement? Above all, can we bok, without fear or disappointment, to all who are actively or passively conneéted with industry, agriculture, trade or comnferce, to keep the wheels turn+ ing, and to ameliorate, as far as pos- sible, all causes for disaffection, in order to expedite the inauguration of the new system, and avert further unnecessary suffering, waste and na- tional loss meanwhile? ; There are many, including the are ready to devote their services and means to the work of organization and reconstruction, but we must younger generation ,who will con- stitute the brains and sinew of the "New Canada," 'to carry the stand- ard. As a practical start toward general organization I am submitting these suggestions to as mauy newspapers throughout Canada as possible, E viting each community, town or cfty to form fits own preliminary "Seli- darity of Citizenship," and from these evolve a Provincial Committee, representative of all interests, in numbers proportionate to' population on the basis of one for each fifty { thousand.

Immediately thereafter a Domin- fon election would be in order, and it: would devolve upon the elected to put the new constitution in form of practical procedure and enforce it.
