These, according to the manifesto of German culture. industry and commerce. Belgium, for mili- ,tary and commercial purposes, must be subject to Germany. France must cede to Germany all territory north of a line from Belfort to the mouth of the River Somme and pay a large indemnity. Russia must cede Poland and the greater part of the Baltic

il KETITVILLE. TLS.

KENTVILLE, August 11.-The pro-

ceedings of the Davidson commission for to-day were illled with interest. immediately on the opening of the in- quiry yesterday, H. J. Chute made a statement to the commission in which he expressed the strongest regret for the sale oi' a horse of advanced years and certain inflrmities and offered a cheque for the full amount he had re- ceived for the horse. He stated that he had done as is generally done in a horse deal, when the veterinary passed a horse that was considered sufficient, but he did not realise the service for which he was to be used as he does to-day. His action was favourably considered.

Some disgusting stories of ancient

equines beliig foisted on the remonnt ofllcers by King’s County horse deal- ers. who were apparently completely without scruples or any sense of com- mon decency. were put in evidence. llorses were sold so ancient that they were long past the voting age. One sorrel nag was stated to be thirty years of age. Harvey had bought u horse for ten dollars a few months before.. This lie offered, but it was refused. This horse was taken out- side and swapped for this piece of equine antique, thirty years and odd of age, and promptly sold it for $90 to the gullible remonnt people. The whole transaction only took about ten minutes. He did not examine the horse be procured at all. It also was takem without, Aexamlnation.-and~ no- questions asked.

A. B. Harvey, the Liberal Leader

and Horse Dealer, of Aylesford, was the artist in this instance. That was only one of a rotten bunch, another being anywhere from l8.years old and upwards. liarvey’s evidence made the most hardened horse dealers blush. As a high iiliaiice manipulator Walling- ford Iooked like a-kid in the kinder- garten class. He faces n future only dimly outlined by Sir Charles David- son, which will keep him on teiiter hooks for some time to come.

John 'White was another man who

palmed off a tweiity~year-old steed. He got a “ ca_ll down" which made him look like a had nickel.

Spurgeon Selfridge, one of Liberal

leaders in Kings County. was another star actor who made himself very busy during the buying period of two or three days when the rush was on. His evidence here and in Ottawa did not agree in many particulars. The evi- dence shows how he stood. He `seem- ingly was very busy with the busliiess of other people and pumped out a lot of gossip about other people's horses which he could not state as facts. He, it appears. was in collusion with some leading Liberals to " put a few over on the Conservatives." The Liberal leaders "chipped in ” to send Harvey to Ottawa to help along the " good work" before the committee of public accounts.

Time and time again, according to

the evidence, McKay bought horses without any examination on the part of Dr Chipnian. A tag with the age and weiglii was filled in by the veter- inary, which seemed to constitute a pass. Then McKay fixed n price. One witness swore he gave Chipmaii either $2 or $5 after a sale had been put through, although he stated positively he just did it in a friendly way appar- ently for the good of the country.

Criminal prosecutions_are looming

up for some of the worst offenders against ordinary business morality. There are still one or two sensational horses to be dealt with, which will come in later.

NEW YORK. Aug. 11.-In the ter-

rible flghting around Warsaw, the women of the Polish capital had to act as undertakers and gravedlggers, in addition to performing other and less distasteful work which in peace times men are generally called upon to do. This information was transmitted to the Polish Victims Relief Committee of this city by an agent of the committee in Warsaw. A statement issued by the committee in this city says:

“ When the men were being slain by

thousands on the borders of the city and outlying country, there was no time for burials. Those bodies that received no attention were thrown ln- to shallow trenches and hastily cover- ed with loose earth. The heat of summer and the rains have literally opened these channels, which became a menace to the living. The muni- cipal authorlties tried to get men to do the work oi’ reburying. Two roubles a day (only 80 cents since the decrease in value of Polish money) was offered. The only volunteers for the gruesome toil were women and young girls. Directed by women of refinement, who under other circumstances could not have been induced to go near such borros, the women dig new and deep- er graves than those from which the decomposed bodies are being taken. The sight of those frail women drag- ging dead bodies, completely uiirecog- iiisable, and tenderly placing them in fresh graves is an unusual one even in these days of heartrendlng War scenes. In many cases the women have been bereaved of all the men of their families, and the pathos of the situation is augmented because they know that some ot' the bodies they are buryliig are those of their own loved ones.

"Interest in the Polish Victims' Re-

lief Fund is spreading all over the United States, through the work of the National American Committee, of which Mr Padrewski is the head. Cheques should he made payable to the National City Bank, marked ‘For Polish Victims' Relief 1<‘und.’ "

LIVE STUCK BULLETIN

August 10.

The following is the report on tho

fsEaFo_ot’tiie_zn'ops_a1rd'1he“conditions> 'of the live stock in Prince Edward ls- Eland under date of August 10, 10152

The Weather.-The month of May

and June were cool throughout, and the rainfall was greater than usual. The first three weeks of July were cool, cloudy and backward, with an abundance of rainfall. Since then the weather has been dry and warmer. with plenty of sunshine, except for a very heavy rainstorni on August 2nd, and dull weather on the evening of the 9th continuing up to the time of writing. The effect on the crops has varied with the soil conditions. West of Summerside, where the land is ill general heavy and somewhat fiat. there was too much rain; but th_e light open soils of Southern Queens and Klng's responded to the frequent showers. ln the remainder of the province the cool weather checked the growth.

CROP CONDITIONS.

i

Hay.--The hay crop is about aver-

age in King's County, it is particularly good, being much larger than for some years, while in Prince County it is not as good as usual. The sea- son was too wet and cold for the heavier and lower lyliig lands. In quality it varies from almost pure clover to hay with a very small per- centage of alsike. ln King's County the new meadows are best. and ill Prince the old. ln Queen's conditions are a little below average. Haymak- ing began the last week of July and is now about half done. The weather up to date has been excellent.

Wheat.-The prospect for a better

than average wheat crop is good. A few correspondents report injury from cold, wet weather, but on the higher soils the crop is exceptionally good. Joint Worm is again doing consid- erable damage in Kings and Queens Counties. Some smut is reported. Sixty-ilve per cent. of the correspon- dents iii King.s and Prince report 'White Russian as the leading variety. twenty-five per cent White Fife and the remainder mention Red Fife, White Chaff, Marquis, Colorado . Bearded and Blue Stem. ln Queens County forty four per cent. give White Russian; forty-two White Fife; nine Red Fife, and the remainder White Chaff, Marquis and Colorado Beard- ed.

Oats.-The oat crop will be consid-

erably below awerage. lin l-‘rlincc County particularly it was damaged by the excessive rainfall and In many cases seeding was very late. At the time of writing most of it is headed. The colour is good but the straw is short and uneven. Abundant sun- shine would make a decided improve- ment in the crop prospects. There is a considerable amount of smut and the season has been favorable for the growth of lhistles. The Banner var- iety is growing steadily in popularity. ln King's County, however, Old ls- lanil Black still predomlntes.

Barley.-Barley is making its way

slowly as a popular field crop. it is generally sown with oats for mixed feed or on lower lying lands where 'seeding is delayed through excess of moisture. Where sown on high land

..*ONE CENT per word each in-

the season has been favourable and thc appearance for u heavy crop is promising, but on the low lands, par- ticularly of Prince County a lot of it was drowned this year.

Peas.-Peas are grown almost al-

together with oats, either for summer feed, or to be made up like hay for winter feed for cattle. They have made particularly good growth stand- ing the cold weather better than the oats. In some places, however, they have been injured or even killed out by too much rain, and the cut worm has done slight damage.

Corn.-The season was altogether

too cold for corn and less than usual was planted. Several correspondents report it being pulled up by crows. The present prospect is for a poor crop. The acreage .sown to corn in the province is very small.

Potatoes.-The majority of corres-

pondents report misses in the potato crop. Nearly all attribute it to the cold, wet weather, but a few state that it was caused by heated seed. In some sections the disease known as Black Leg has caused damage. The early planted potatoes are doing bet- ter than the late planted, and for the last three weeks they have made very rapid growth. The colorado beetle is plentiful.

Roots.--The root crop is a little

backward, but there is every prospect of it being much above the average. Those sown early did not come up well, and in some cases were renown, but those sown after the middle of June have come on splendidly._ Cor- respondents report a considerable in- crease ln acreage. Club Root is doing some injury.

Apples.-The apple crop will be

about half an average. The blossoms were injured by late frosts and the cold rainy weather interfered with pollinatioii. A severe wind storm also did considerable damage.

Plums.-The prospect for the plum

is not even as good as for the apple crop. There was an abundance of blossoms, but they failed to set. Black Knotjs killing out the trees in many sections.

Cherries.-Cherries are almost a

failure. A few correspondents report a fair- crop, but they are small and much injured by insects.

..Strawberrlcs.-The crop of sti'a.w- berries has been below average. In many sections the plants were killed out, and although there was plenty of moisture the weather was too cold to secure the largest returns from those that survived. There was a consider- able increase in the acreage set to strawberries this sping.

Bush Fruits.-Gooseberries and cur-

raiits are both scarcer than usual. Raspberries are, however, quite plen- tiful and of excellent quality.

Weeds.-The cold, damp season has

favoured the growth of weeds, which arc becoming very plentiful in many parts of the province. The ox-eye- daisy and sow thistle are now flourish- ing in the majority of districts, and hawkweed and night-fiouring catch- fiy. Mouse-ear, (lhlckweed and Wild Iladlsh are becoming fairly establish- ed. Ragwort and Bladder Campion are new weeds in some sections, while -Yarrow#-a-lid Daisy Fleai1aTre._wili1:h have been on the pastures and on the roadsides for years are becoming troublesome in the hay and grain fields.

Live Stock Conditions.-Live Stock

conditions throughout the provhicc are improving very rapidly. During the past two years the Live Stock Branch of the Federal Department of Agriculture have distributed to Live Stock Associations the following pure- bred males: 4 Clydesdale stallions, 11 Ayrshire bulls.. 85 rams, 21 Short- horn bulls, 2 Holstein bulls. 7 boiirs.

The Farmers’ Institutes have also

purchased a large number of pure- bred bulls, rams and bears and private individuals have brought some of ex- ceptional quality to the province.

Better care and feeding, which is

accompanying the introduction of purebred males is having a marked effect.

Horses.-There is an abundance of

horses in the province at the present time, but the demand is limited. Prices arc lower than last year, rang- ing from $125 to $200.

Mllch Cows.-The demand for good

mllcli cows exceeds the supply and inquiries are already being made for cows to freshen in the autumn. Prices are higher than last year, ranging from $50.00 to $75.00 for good grades. Correspondents report a sllglit dc- crease in the numbers kept.

Other Cattle.-The demand for beef

cattle is increasing. Pure-bred Short- horns are particularly high in price and any offered for .sale are quickly picked up at prices ranging from $100 to $150. Young cattle are scarce, as during the last years ii large number of young calves have been killed for meat.

Sheep.-Reports indicate that thc

usual number of sheep is about being maintained. The price oi' wool is, very high. as is also the price of lambs. The Demonstration in Wool Grading carried on this year at Sumnierslde. and the Sheep Dipping Demonstra~ tions, in Qucen’s and Klng‘s Counties are bringing this class of Live Stock more definitely to the attention of the people.

Pigs.-Correspondents report a de-

crease of about 4 per cent. in the number of pigs. The number of lit- ters seems to be about the same as last year, but, in some cases tho lit- ters are small, and in others the num- ber ilylng was large. The quality, however, seems to be better than usual. There was an abundance of potatoes kept over this spring, nn.; the milk supply has been above the average.

Hens.-Almost every district rc-

ports an increase in the number of hens kept. The Egg Circle Movement has drawn definite attention to tho value of the hen on tho farm, and. as a result, more hens are being kept and attention is being given to breed- ing. feeding and general care.

Geese and Turkeys.-Only a few

farmers pay any attention to geese and turkeys, the low price of the form-

tlicni altogether, and the wot spring

dents report pastures as good. The wet season has been very favourable to the growth of white clover and the heavy rain of August 2nd started the after-grass in hay fields that had been cut.

Milk Supply.--On the whole, the

milk supply received at the factories and creameries this year up to the present time, is about equal to that of last. In Prince County there is a con-

L ‘er last autumn led many to go out of siderable increase, which will about

~ factories and creameries, due to some

Psstures.- Nearly all correspon-‘factories being closed.

Egg Supply.-Egg production conti-

nues to increase, although prices are not quite as good as last year. The Co-operative Egg and Poultry Associa- tion has handled at its candling sta- tion in Charlottetown upwards of 625,000 dozens sliice April 20th, 1915. in the month of June as many as 300 cases were handled daily, but the number has dropped to about half that at the present time. _
