ardent baseball fan. He so testified
before Judge O'Boyle yesterday when
Mrs. Cooper had him arrested for
non-support.
Cooper told the Judge that his wife
attended q ball game nearly every
day during the past season and that
he was compelled to prepare his own
supper. He said that she talked base
ball morning. noon and night, and
that he took no interest in the sport.
Judge O'Boyle suggested that with
the baseball season over, Mrs. Cooper
probably would remain at home, and
upon her promising to cook the meals
the Judge sent the couple home.

Why slight the Carrot,

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Why does no poet arise to sing the
song of the carrot? This is the carrot
season, the time of harvesting the
hardest worked vegetable in the king
dom. Much is said in favor of the
plethoric pumpkin, the gathering of
corn is a commonplace theme, but the
poor carrot has been neglected, yea,
even scorned.
For diversity of use the carrot has
pumpkin and corn backed over the
garden wall. Men feed carrots to
cattle. increasing dairy output; they
feed them to other stock sometimes,
improving it's temper. A carrot, arti-
ficially followed with knife. makes
an elegant Japanese vase. Sufficiently
hardened by harsh contact with the
world, a carrot may be used for
weapon, either operated like a maIIet
with a handle or hurled like a Rus
sian bomb.
Carrots are sometimes even used
for food by human beings. They are
chief ingredient in vegetable soup.
Mixed with butter. they improve its
color. They make better pumpkin pie
than pumpkins themselves. Served
as hubbard squash, they make one
wonder why squashes were invented
The answer to the high cost of
living cry is carrots. johnson had

M. s. English,

| From the London GLOBE
Unless they are fairly conversant
with current transatlantic fiction, and
above all, with the newspapers of to-
day, Englishmen do not realize that a
new language seems in process of for
nation in the United StatesA
A Danish savant, the professor OF
languages at the Copenhagen Uni
versity has just predicted that in a
few centuries they will be speaking
American over in England instead of
English =
He is also of the opinion that 1.-The
socalled slang of the present Ameri-
can tongue is far more poetical, PIC
turesque and serviceable than the
English of Shakespere's time"
Making allowance for a certain ex-
aggeration, this expression of opinion
is notable as showing that an expert
believes a new American Language"
to be in course of development.
American slang is certainly more
forceful and expressive than the ar
got of the British Isles, and, although
much of it is quite unnecessary, 1t
consists in large part of the employ
fment of very up-to-date metaphor,
rather than the use of cant phrases"
is they were termed in the eighteenth
century.
In fact, the use of metaphor is so
pronounced that an Englishman other
wise ignorant of good United States
lingo" might understand much of it
if he were conversant with the techni-
cal terms employed in engineering of
railway operations.
1t is creeping into English rather
rapidly, fact heartily to be deplored

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

ending September 10 brought figures
nearly 30 Der cent behind these for
the corresponding week in 1912. Such
important places as Winnipeg and
Vancouver are 10 per cent. behind the
record. The Canadian manufacturer
and other Canadian producers are, of
course, suffering from this tieup,
stringency, or whatever it is called.
They will be better off on this side of
the line under our new tariff; but their
I eed of a market may be so great that
they would regard special favors

Pet Sheep Now Lawns.
From the Country Gentlemen.
Nothing improves the looks of the
farm and the reputation of the farmer
more than a clean, well-kept lawn.
To this should be added, OF course,
fields that are conspicuously clean,
barn-yards free from noxious growths
and fence corners bare of weeds.
Where daudelions and the various
burs and the many poisonous creep
ers grow there you find the lazy or
the overtaxed farmer. And, in
measure, every tiller of the soil is
delinquent along these lines. Few
have the time TO push lawn mower
or bend to the uprooting of weeds.
What is needed is a living lawn
mower, and we have this in the
patient sheep. You may run your
flock in the most luxuriant of pas
lures, yet the sheep will nibble at
the noxious weeds and destroy them.
Their peculiar appetites require this
change from grasses and clovers.
In this regard u small fiock OF
sheep on the small farm is valu-
able by-product. The large sheep
grower meets with heavy losses at
time, but the small farmer, having his
flock well IN hand, may foresee the
causes of loss and in large measure
remove them. For finishing up NUT
ton or lamb there is always the
dwarf Essex rape, a rapid grower
and producer of the finest fats and
flavors.
There is no real reason why the
Englishman should glory over us In
the matter of mutton production. A
little thought is all that is needed.

The Beef Cattle Industry in Africa.
From the Toronto Globe


From the Toronto Globe.
The more northerly part of South
Africa is now attracting a great deal
of attention on account of its alleged
availability for profitable cattle ranch
ing. 1t seems to be a settled conYic-
ton among those who are familiar
with the beef problem on both sides
of the Atlantic that the areas best
adapted for grain growing and dairy
ing cannot be depended on for a con-
tinuously adequate supply of beef.
Mixed farming necessarily involves
the feeding of some beef cattle, but
even if the wheat growing districts
of the West were to be subjected to
the rotation system the supply of beef
would fall frequently, if not contin-
uously, short of the demand. Dairy
farming is fatal to beef products,
because it involves the slaughter of
the calves Immediately after birth.
The ranching of cattle tends to the
production only of stockers-cattle
ready to be fed to a finish, but not to
in the ranching industry is the grad
ual deterioratio of the pasturage
when the natural grass is constantly
kept cropped, and the surface of the
ground is hardened by the trampling
of animals 1t is a question only of
time when the best grass ranches
will cease to support herds unless
time is allowed to abate the injurious
effects of too constant or prolonged
use for ranching purposes.
In this connection it is proper to
remind once more those who are seek
ing a solution of the beef problem
that there are vast areas in parts of
Ontario quite untitled for ordinary
farming, but apparently well fitted
for cattle ranching. There is reason
to believe that cattle were sylvan
in their original habitat, and they
have become artificially adjusted to a
prairie environment. In any case as
to that it has been ascertained by eX-
pertinent that they will thrive well
in regions partially covered by the
original forest. In northern Ontario
young cattle would have to be fed
during severe weather, but the same
statement is true of other parts of the
world under similar climatic condi-
tions. and where there is forest the
cattle can always find natural shelter
during winter storms, just as deer
and other vegetarian animals do.

Trials of Competitors.

From the London Standard.
They tell of a Scottish compositor
who fed from Edinburgh to London
in order to escape the brain-exhaust-
ing ordeal of deciphering Carlyle's
hieroglyphics and putting them into
type. He had been at work in Lon
don for some time, when one day a
take" of Carlyle's copy was given
him to set up. The sight of it ap-
palled him. rs that man here, tool
he exclaimed. Whereupon he laid
down his composing stick, put on his
coat and hat, and vanished.
Balzac's copy was also a nightmare
to compositors. The failure of the
establishment that printed his works
was the direct result of the enormous
labor spent in making corrections in
the proofs of his manuscript. What
it meant to put his copy into type is
shown by the fact that Cesar Birot-
teau' had to be reset fifteen times in
twenty days.

NO INCREASE seen
Men and Religion Movement
Fails to Help Christianity.
Churches Make Small Gain,
Last Years Census Shows.

New York Jan. So.-The men and
religion movement, intended to in
crease church membership in this
country, did not produce the results
sued by DIR. H. K. Carroll, i'll the New
York Christian Advocate. DR.. Carroll,
VINO was government statistician in
1890, and who has since then publish
ed church statistics each year, found
that the total increase for all churches
for 1912, was 597 592, a decrease of To-
4S6 from the figures of 1911.
On behalf of the men and religion
movement it was said that the pro-
posed increase of 100000 Christians over
the normal increase to growth in pop
ulation, was not intended to be effect
ed in a wear, but was expected to be
realized in five years. DR.. Carrolfs
figures put the total number of Chris
tians in the United States as 36,S755-
537.
DR.. Carrolrs figures showed there
were 41,419 Baptist ministers in this
country in 1912 and that they added
on an average three Christians each
to the church for the year There are
many more Baptist churches than
ministers, and the churches are credi-
ted with adding two and a half Chris
tians each a year to the church ros-
ter. Methodists added the same num-
ber, while Presbyterians did little bet
ter. Each Presbyterian church got
nearly three new members on the av
erage.
The figures showed that the churches
that were most orthodox were the only
ones that were growing. The Unitari-
ans were said to have stood still in
membership. and to have lost last year
six ministers and 16 churches, while
Universalists fell off 2,500 in members.
DR.. Carroll conceded $1,000 members to
Christian Scientists churches. They
gained no new members last year, he
asserted.
