principle applies right round with every other kind ol erop or produce; the enormous number of acres got over, or amount o£ stuff handled per man, en-i-bies the master to pay doable or treble the wages current in Kngland, and yet make liis farming pay well. The explanation is, of course, the use of machinery. JAPAN'S REQUIREMENTS. The visit of the Japanese Commissioner of Live Stock to America 'has enabled something to ba learned of the wants of his country. A San Francisco paper of Bccuuibcr "-0 states that there are no mules in Japan, and after an experiment of 35 years tlieru are only 2700 sheep . The Live Stock Commissioner's visit to the United States was to secure mules and sheep The last census showed that Japan had 1,000,000 horses, 300,000 pigs. 100.000 goats, 1,300,000 head of cattle, and 23,000,000 fowls. The visitor was representing, the Japanese War Department as well as the Department of Farming and Live Stock. The War Department had its own mills for manufacturing woollen goods for its soldiers, and formerly made large imports of wool from Australia, but the British embargo prevented the Government or (private woollen mills from getting supplies from this source. The war authorities were concerned about this matter, and were anxious to establish a sheep industry, so that the country could supply its own "wool. It was the intention of the Commissioner to take back with him some experts in sheep-raising. The Japanese are taking more to a meat diet, and beef was selling before the war at lfid to 20d per lb, and there was no mutton or lamb, an.l pork had not become a popular dish. It il probable the Japanese are thinking trying sheep-raising in Korea, as it has been repeatedly stated that there is very little land in Japan itself that is suitable for sheep. t

THE NECESSITY OF THE HOUR. It is. eraperative that we should do our duty at once. The necessity of the hour is apparent. We must organise our resources. The manufacture of useless products must cease. The distribution of primary products must be conducted efficiently. The necessaries of life must take precedence of luxuries. Our maximum effort must be mad# at the earliest possible moment. Service is the key to progress. 1 Waste must be entirely eliminated. The old methods of tracing must cease. What is essential must take precedence of all else. The whole country's growths, manufactures, and transport must be systematised. Efficiency must be our watchword. Eliminate all labor that can well be done without. Experienced men and women should be given work suited to their knowledge. Our present methods are obsolete. We must organise for service. Your conrtibution is most needed now. Unselfishness ensures the good of the country. The only standards that can remain are trut.li, justice, equity, service. Making all allowances for old Ideas, ideals must now eoino into their own. The reserve of the nation is great. The whole people are longiAg to do their best for all (but /ire much hindered by politicians). The issite is not doubtful if you hold fast, to that which is good. Not our own advantage but tile advantage of the world must be our motto. These are some of the messages that can be thought out from the advertisement of the Modern Tailors, Ltd., on our leader page. Would you sign the following declaration: "I am willing to place my service at the disposal of an elected Parliament provided that any work I do shall be for the collective benefit of all people ajid net for private
