INCREASED HOG PRODUCTION ~
The campaign for increased hog pro-
duction is now geperal throughout Cana-
da and is going with a swing that spells
both prosperity°to the farmers and_ the do-
minion generally and a_very considerable
relief to 'the food situation. . I _ _
The campaign in the other provinces iS
somewhat similar to that in this province.
The provincial governments are purchas-
ing the hogs wherever they can get them, h
keeping them on the government farms m
'ind selling them to the farmers at actual dried at the expeme ‘mly Of dl2gmg""‘° “'°"°““‘ °f °°‘“P“'“°‘"y ’“”"*°°|

I’E_\ 'I' FIVE L POSSIBILITIES
With coal ranging in price from eight
to i'iftee`n dollars a ton and millions of tons
of good fuel lying in bogs in every pro-
vince of the dominion it is not surprising
that the ingenious promoter is casting
longing eyes at the possibilities of exploi-
tation. Nor would it be_ surprising that
many persons could easily be induced to
invest in an enterprise that could so plaus-
ibly undertake to convert these millions of
tons of peat into gold. To prevent such a
possibility the Dominion government has
issued the following timely warning:
PI'l`F.\LLS IN I’F_.»\'l` FUEL MANU-
FACTURR.
The fiicl famine has aroused interest in
the manufacture of peat fuel and has also
stimulated the organization of companies to
develop the large areas of peat bogs which
Canada possesses. It is, therefore, of inter-
cst to thc general public to know that the
Branch of the Department of Mines, tho-
roughly investigated the manufacture of peat
fuel some years ago. The investigation
proved that, as the water in peat is in what is
called thc "colloidal" form, it CANNOT
BE EXPELLED BY PRESSURE. _ Si-
milarly, processes for expelling the moisture
will inevitably 'fail on aceouni:~_o_f~_ EX?

' DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
It is the general opinion, says an ex
change, that the speeches in the House of
Lords against woman suffrage, at the ses-
sion which witnessed the victory of the wo-
men’s cause, certainly did not err on the
side of originality, whatever high level th-ey ,
reached in the matter of eloquence. Lord _‘_
Loreburn spoke of “a leap in the dark,”_'
one of The Morning Post’s favorite expres-
sions; Lord Curzon of the “opening of
iloodgates.” It was curious how promin-
ent a part was taken in the debate by no
_ less than Hve chancellors, past and pres-
ent. Two were in favor, Lord Haldane and
Lord Buckmaster, and three against, Lord
Finlay, Lord Halsbury and Lord Loreburn.
Division of opinion among heads of the
`Dominion Govemment through thc Mines legal ,profession is no new thing on the
’ question of women’s enfranchisement. A
story is recalled of how, many years ago,
the then Attorney-General, afterward
“Lord Chief", Sir John Coleridge remarked
that women possessed many qualities fit- ' 'Mi Pf°Y°f»

i An order has just been issued by
the Militia Department the object of
wihch is to facilitate the relenseof
men who have been drafted under the
Military Service Act tothe detriment
of agricultural production. There are.
t it would appear, a number of such
cases. Many men in consequence of
being drafted' into the army have
been compelled to abandon cultivated
farms. These men in some cases eith-
