In politics as in. love the eternal Triangle is a great curse. Members of both parties recognize {that there is a certain amount of writing on the wall for them in the Ontario election and the federal by- elections but the Comservative party i probably sees more in it than the {other fellows because its platform 13 not built to fit the new conditions. | It feels besides that the farmers may well harbor a grudge from 1911 and {that the day of anger is at hand. The Conservative party views the {U. FP. 0--Us For Ourselves they christen it--with alarm. East and west they view it with alarm. It has spread like wild fire. Nova Scé.a, | Prince Edward Island, New Bruns- Wick all seem to have got it. The flame may even extend to safe sane eastern townships are regarded as the like- juest spot. Already the Liberals { speak of fifty Quebec {next Parliament, thus conceding fif- {teen to the new crusades. Ontario | and the prairie west have succumbed. Only British Columbia hangs on and that by the eyebrows. It looks dark for the Conservative party in more ways than one. 1 say it looks dark for the Conservative party because even the most frenzied Unionist, now admits that there is no such thing as a Unionist party ouat- side of the House of Commons. The | by-aslections proved that beyond a doubt. The Unfonist party is dead, {but it goes on talking in its last, long sleep. It expects to keep on talking until 1922, after which #t { will give up the ghost, What will emerge from its grave? The stalwarts say the Conservative party, which {Still has some kick in it although | Rowel and Hearst have done their i best to make an inside Job of murder- | Ing. The Conservative party feels very | Bore at. Mr, Rowell as the chief ass- | {assin and at Premier Borden as his | blundering accomplice. It is agreed | that Premier Borden is findshed, but { Mr. Rowall's future is still in doubt. i ne thing is certain--his It. may be with the Independent Labor Party, where Mr. Rowell's | Réwspaper friends have been driving {& nail for him to hang his hat on but | it will not be with his present asso- | Clates from either of his old flocks. Mr. Rowell will be the one that i= "out on the hills away," unless he {ean find a fold of his own. | Another grudge the Conservative { party bears Mr. Rowell is prohibi- {tlon, The Conservative party, take jit by and large, fs not the Uplift | party. On the contrary it rather { Suspects Uplift and is dnelined to {impart ulterior motives to those | politicians who make Uplift their j career. Truth to tell this frame of {nind seems to be reflected by the {&eneéral public, which usually Yates {for the good cause, but throws the man or the party who tries to ride it. { Ontarto did that very thing unto Mr. | Rowell and his party in 1914 and re- peats the performance with Sir Wil { Ham Hearst in this year of grace {1919, Thers is no reason. to suppose { that the political party which tries | the same trick on a larger scale in {the federal arena will fare any bet- | ter, . { For this reason alone if for no | other, Mr. Rowell and his hobby are | not welcome to the Conservative | party which has no desire to perish | for his further glory," The lesson, as | the Conservatives see it, is that they | must have an affirmative policy. No | party can live marely by mneagotions iand Uplift, The affirmative policy of the Conservatives will probably be high tariff plus an extensive develop- ment of Canada's natural and indus- trial resources, : Most of the criticism of the farm- ers' movement comes from the Con- Servative party, which refuses to be- keve that, Jim Calder invented it for his own special purposes. The farmer's movement is like Topay---it Jes' growed and the earth it €rew in was the reciprocity election of 1911, which demonstrated to the farmers that if they wanted anything they must strike out and get it for them- selves. The movement completely obliterated the old parties in the United States Middle West. From that source it spread across the bord. er and now all Canada has to reckon with it, Some of the more sanguine Con- servatives claim that the farmers, being landholders, small capitalists | and small manufacturers, belong to the Conservative party and that their alliance with the wo ) in in- | truder arrived to break up the happy | seats in the | future will | not be with the Conservative party. | | The Government went to the country and what the country did to it is al- Most untit to print. Any other time a Union Government goes to the jcountry it goes to hell the same way. So the Big Stick takes another shape BOW. The formula has been chang- {ed and now it runs thus, "If youn {stand behind us we won't got ot the |country," which amounts to the {same thing and sounds a great deal better. Any Unionist will tell you {that there is about as much chance {of the Union Government going to {the country before it absolutely has [to as there is of Mr. RoweH plunging headlong into the crater of Mount | Vesuvius, { .I have heard a few Liberals speak {of the farmers as "little Junkers," {but mostly they welcome them as | friends and view their advent with |temperant joy. They realize that {the farmer's movement must run its | course--that it is a vast and power- { ful movement, much more significant {than the Patrons of Industry, and [that it portends new adjustments. These adjustments probably mean | that the Liberal party takes second | place in a coalition party where it formerly took first. In this part the | Liberal party has a farmer tail. From {now on---perhaps for five or six | years--the Farmer's Party may have ia Liberal tail. The main point is that the Liberals and the farmers are | | natural partners and that some day { they must come together. | As a matter of fact the Liberal platform covers almost everything {the farmers ask, and if the Liberals intend to work at it there fs small use for a farmer's party traversing {the same ground. In a manner of | speaking, the farmer's party is a | good to the Liberal party to make |good its promises, and if it does make them good the U. F. 0. will BO the way of all previous farmer's parties--that is to say, it will take | shelter in the capacious bosom of a | Liberal party which ds nearest its [heart's desire. | But before that happens it will | possibly do a little ruling at Ottawa | --accomplishing those disagreeable but necessary things which the old | parties refused to do---such as cut- [ting down expenses, bleeding the pros | titeers, and firing half the Civil Ser- | vice, TRINIDAD'S PITCH LAKE. For Years Men Have Dug But I Never Grows Less. Lying in the deep blue, tropieal waters of the Caribbegn Sea, about 2,000 miles in an airplane from New York City, is the Island of Trinidad, British West Indies. The island 1s separated from the coast of Venezuela by two boca® or channels -- the Dragon's Mouth on the north and the Serpent's Mouth on the south. Between them is the Gulf of Paria. On this beautiful tropleal island, ablaze with the vegetation of the southern climate, 18 a pitch or as- phalt lake, whence comes the asphalt used for paving city streets and'mak- ing roofing.

The "Great Spirit" punished them for this wan- tonness. In a single night their vil- lage disappeared and in its place lay the asphalt lake, or "Tierra de Brea," as the Spaniards eall it, The lake, or deposit, is a great level area of about 114 acres, bor- dered by low hills and dotted with clumps of trees and bushes. The surface is a dull bluish grey in color and is broken. by irregular pools of water.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) HE quality and preservation of silage is largely depen- dent upon the character of the fermentation which takes place mostly during the first ten days or two weeks after the corn is fiillled into the silo. In order to control the character of the fermen- veral factors have to be taken into consideration. 1st. The silo should be well con- structed and have no air leaks. Wher- ever alr penetrates it will cause rot 2nd. The corn should be well de- the resultant silage is liable to be too high in moisture, poor in consist- ency and sour. Its feeding value will be much less than that of mature corn. Srd. In filling the silo the corn should be well scattered around and evenly packed. If steps are not tak- | en to ensure this the heavier parts of the corn, such as the cobs and stalks, will be liable to settle in one place and the lighter leaves be blown around to the outer edges, thus caus- ing the development of a hard core where the heavier pieces settle, and a soft, spongy, air-infiltrated area | where the lighter plecés fall. Such | & condition will ruin the fermentation | and induce rot. The fermentation commences prac- | tically as soon as the silage is in the { silo, and will be good or bad accord- | € to the prevailing conditions as described above, | The fermentation is induced by plant enzymes, which are within the | plant tissues, and various species of | bacteria and yeasts which are pres- | ent on the corn when it is filled in. | These bacteria, yeasts and plant | enzymes act on some of the starch | and sugar that is present in the corn changing the starch first to sugar and | then to acids, alcohol and carbon di-oxide, and various other products | of fermentation of somewhat minor significance, The acids, more particularly the | lactic acid thus produced, constitute the preservative substance ensuring good gilage.

Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts as some undesirable kinds of bacteria and molds are usually present in considerable numbers on the corn at the time it is filled into the silo. The problem is to induce the lactic acid bacteria to get ahead of. the other kinds of bacteria and yeasts that are present, as when sufficient other kinds of bacteria and yeasts from developing, otherwise they would cause loss through undesirable type of fermentation. SEs The lactic acid bacteria which cause the desirable fermentation in Silage are the same as those which cause the souring of milk. Conse quently, if freshly well-soured milk, which will have millions of the lactic acid bacteria present, 1s scattered evenly over the cut corn from time to time in the silo as it is being filled, this will ensure the presence of an abundance of lactic acid bacteria ready to act right at once so that the requisite lactic acid will be rapidly produced. During the fermentation the silage gradually settles and present in the mass gradually gets | used up in the fermentation pro- cesses.
