ded fodder Is advised.
Shetland mares are remarkably pro-
life, are bred regularly every year.
The colts are naturally hardy, the po-
MES are seldom sickly. They are ready
for any ordinary work ut two and a
half years.
G. A. Waugh, writing in Country
Life, says: Mature Shetlands sell all
the way from $50 upward, with the
bulk of the animals going at $125. At
the latter figure there Is a clear profit
of 800 In the transaction for the
breeder. Besides, IL he produces his
own feed, he has received full market
value for it, and ut the same time has
fed 1t out at cost much less than
that of delivering to the local market.
In addition the feed has produced the
same propOrtionate amount of manure
that 1t would produce were it fed to
any other animal on the farm"
In winter only a rough shelter is
needed for the sturdy creature. The
Shetland has heavier coat of hair

COLLEGES ARE NOT AFFECTED

of the war, and 81 200 in the last half

All students serving In the army

BAY RUM is OUT OF VOGUE
witch Hazel Now Is the Popular Lo-
ton In Barber Shops In
This Country.

For many years bay rum was used
In all barber shops as soothing lotion
Following the shave. 1t was also used
as sort of dryer after the shampoo
and caused many to writhe In the
chair when applied after good mas
sage. Despite these facts, 1t continued
to be the kingpin of all applications.
Several years ago an enterprising indi-
vidual, knowing the properties of
witch hazel, began to advertise this
liquid as a substitute for bay rum,
telling of the fact that witch hazel had
the same qualities as bay rum and was
much easier to stake"
The customers of the various barber
shops read the advertisement, and so
did the BARRIERS. The result was that
nine out of ten of the patrons Of bar
Der shops asked for witch hazel in
stead of bay rum, and the latter COM
modify rapidly sank into oblivion. To-
day, according to the managers of bar
Der shops in big hotels and elsewhere.
witch hazel is much more popular
than bay rum.

WHERE is GREAT WAR SONG?
Strange That the Present Struggle Has
Not Produced SouI-Stirring
Melody.

II is strange that the war should
not yet have produced, among any of
the nations concerned. genuine war
song, like the "Marseillaise" of the
French Revolution, or the Marching
Through Georgia" or "Jchn Browns
Body" of the American Civil war. We
associate ''Tipperary" with the war,
but "Tipperary" was already in exis-
tence in August, 1914, and it is only
by the accident of date that our men
did not march to Mons singing Dixie"
or "You Made Me Love YOU" Now
"Tipperary" is forgotten, and nothing
has arisen to take its place. For this
purpose the homegrown ballad does
not count in the least.
OF course, a great deal of topical
doggerel has come from the trenches
and some admirable poetry, but the
real song of the war has yet TO be
evolved. What is IL that the men at
the front sing in the meantime? The
correspondents do not say much on the
point, but we heard of the Highlanders
coming out OF action the other day
singing the lines:
/ lo'e nae laddle but ane,
And he lo'es nae lassie but me.

The best type OF silo is round.
The roof should be water

The materials out of which

The cost should be from 50 to

capacity is to exceed 100 tons.
A silo should be placed as

Canada that the statement made by

made IL clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits OF incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits OF unincorporated firms or part.

per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern

but life insurance companies. and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization. and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged in agri.
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part Of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except. perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid but
of the profits of the big firms and com

profits before they have to pay any

that the whole policy is to place the

able to pay 1t. and to encourage farm
