WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9,1915.

AGRICULTURAL EVOLUTIUN

sent is something amazing and we would do well to watch it and to adapt ourselves to the new pace that is being set. For several years, notably during the past year or two, agricultural education and advanced methods in agricul- ture have been asserting themselves as never before. Old methods have been abandoned; the tested and proved methods of the agricultural colleges and the agricultural experts arc more and more coming into general use, and there are few farmers who are not well versed in scientific rotation, balanced rations for their stock, the needs of the

The haphazard methods of former years are gone for-

ever and in their place there are modern, practical busin- ess methods by which the farmer receives the maximum value from his land and his stock. l Perhaps the most striking example of the application of modern methods is to be found in the evolution of the `1ien‘ from the little-better-than a barnyard pest of a, tew` years ago. to thc dignified, pedigreed and profitable poultry of today. The value of the modern hen as u producer may be guaged from the fact that since the cstablishmentof the grading and candling station at Charlottetown, in connec- tion with the Egg Circle movement, Circle eggs have been coming in at an average rate of 50.000 dozen a week, or a weekly average value of $9,500. When it is remembered that there arc only about sixty egg circles in the Province, with a membership of about 5,000, it will be seen that the revenue from this one source alone is very considerable. When the organization is extended, as it no doubt shall be sliortly-tlierc being applications now in for the organiza- tion of` some thirty more egg circles-the impetus that will be given to this one branch alone will be enormous. The splendid results from this movement are due to organiza» tion and intelligent co-operation on thc part of the farmers und to the common sense method adopted of selling only on a quality basis. lieretofore eggs were eggs and sold at so uiucli-or so little-per dozen, regardless ot sizefand t-omlition. By the new method they are sold and paid tor

according to quality and the farmer who is enterprising 'enough to grade up his flock and pay attention to Qhls egg harvest is assured of a pro rata price. As a result a bet- ter grade ot' poultry is being introduced and the despised hen of a. few years ago has become one of the most pro- ,fitablc animals on the farm. If is interesting to note here _what similar methods have done for Denmark and Sweden. ln those countries the average egg production per hen is 130; in this Province it has been raised in recent years from about 50 to S0 and the average is increasing yearly. In our own Western l’rovinces where the hcn has been re. gtirilod as a sort of nuisance, eggs were selling two weeks ago at len and twelve cents per dozen. The 1)oiiiiiiion gov- .ernment is now unilertaking to organize the poultry bus. iness in those provinces, and within a short time it will bo as profitable a business therc as it is hero.

7 This is only one instance in which thc work of tho pres- 7cnt educational campaign may be seen. The govern. iiioiits, Provincial and l<‘cdcral, have undertaken to secure

lfor tho farmer thc liighcst possible price forfhis products, and to encourage hini in producing the best possible. A -similar movement is on foot with respect to wool, and this summer will see thc beginning of a revolution in that line which will sccurc for thc farmer a price that will bc pm. liortionale to thc finality of his wool.

(Jthor inovelneiits inaugurated or developed by the pm

cent l’|°ovinl'ial und Dominion Governments might bo clted but these must suffice for the present. The thing to bo

noted is the evolution in progress, the new page mat is bi-ing not and the ncccnsify of adapting ourselves to thc new confl?ti<.iie_

, The murder of Wlilliam S. Benton, a British 'subject

operating a ranch in Mexico, says an exchange, has -never been satisfactorily explained, although lt occurred more than a year ago. The Government at Westminster is still waiting an oflleial communication detailing t-he circumstances ot the crime and has let it be known that full amends must be made by those ln authority in the distressed republic.

At present there are ln the 'United States several

'ro Benavldes, until three months ago private secretary to Francisco. Villa, the man held responsible tor Ben- ton*s murder. Benavldes, who arrived ln New York two weeks ago has furnished the Carranzlsta agents what hc uvcrs is a true account of the activities of Villa, -which includes u description of the Benton crime. Ac-

ation called El Alamo (the Poplars), had been accused of coninilttfng several crimes of despoliation ugalnstthe natives, including the killing of persons who ventured to pass through his property without permission. Ben-- ton, says Benavides, was a great friend of the Terruzn family, who lent him’ their protection. These allega- tions ligainst the British rancher gave Villa an excuse to -have 13cnton‘s property seized and confiscated. Nii- turally Benton objected and on February 17, 1914,.ht noon, hemadohis appcurancoin Ciudad Juarey at the residence of General Villa. Bcnavidcs says that at the interview

w7hir-h ensued there were present, besides the principals, Engineer Andros L. Farias, now municipal president of Tcrrcon, Major Manuel E. Banda, and a woman tili- known to the -secretary, thcrc on private business. Ben- l‘ton aiiiioiiiicedpflizit he had come to request that his property bc returned. Villa replied that the petitioner had always been an enemy of Mexico, but that us he was a foreigner he-had to be respected. Therefore, it' he would tell thc value of his land the price would be paid and he would then be thrown out of the country. Ben- ton replied that he would neither sell nor leave. Then there were personal reeriminations, and Villa, drawing his rcvolvcr, liingcd towards the E.n,glislinian, apparent- ly with the intention of despatching him on thc spot. ` The woman who was a witness to thc quarrel placed

herself in the way. thus preventing Villa from firing. Officers of the guard then seized Benton, who was dis- armed and liandcuffed. Villa then ordered the prisoncr to bc taken in rt locomotive and caboosc by “the savage l~`ierro" as far as Samalayuca, there to be executed and

buried., Accordingly, Ficrro, with Lieutenant Jesus i\I. Rios. chief of Vllla's bodyguard. and a party of soldiers, took Benton to the designated spot. Wlicii the soldiers were digging his grave Benton coolly asked them to dig deep, so that thc coyotes would not he able to get at his body. They complied. and then "Fierro, always Flerro, fired the enormous pistol, calibre .45 with expansive bullet through the head of the Englishnian, who fell lifeless, with his head torn to pieces.” Such is tho story i‘.o,ld by Benavfdes, who goes on to describe thc scandal that developed, which resulted in protests from Wash- ington at the instance of the British Government. Villa became frightened, the body was recovered and bullets shot into it to give color to thc false statement that Benton had been murdcrcd by enemies he had wrong- ed. Later oii there was an autopsy and the remains were further disfigured to hide the traces of thc crimc.

Satisfaction has not yet been given for thc murder

of the British subject and thc Government of the United liingdoin hug not dropped the matter. Villa _is not in

NOTES

_ The unchecked advance into Austria of italian troops is one of the surprises of the war. At four points thc frontier has been crossed, and places of local vantage have been occupied with no resistance at all, or very little. The people of’ the invaded country are allowing friendship for tho Italian soldiers, and everything is ciicoiiragimz lo thc newcomers in the conflict. lf Austria was beaten the ltalians could not cxpcct that events would bc more in their favor. lt may bo wcll fo wait a while, however, hc- foro cliccrliig. The Italian phase of the-_ war is twelve days old only. lt wlll require u month to show whether .Austria is weak or only holding buck.
