Tam is only six months old but she is the most high- ly travelled debutante among the Tiford cats. Tam was born in Winnipeg last summer, Her first trip was by steamer from Selkirk to Norway House. Then Capt. H. Hollick-Ken- yon, superintendent for Canadian Airways in Northern Manitoba, took ‘Dr. W. F.

Dr. A. S.

Trade Cattle For Coal Prairies Might Obtain Welsh Anthra- cite Through Bay Route A new argument in support of the Hudson Bay route to and from Eng- land has been discovered. The Eng- lish weekly, Canada, quotes some of its contemporaries as foreseeing a _time when the importation of Welsh anthracite to the prairies via the _ Hudson Bay route will capture the trade from Pennsylvania to the value of $75,000,000. “Although such sn- ticipation is, of course, exaggerated, _ it fs quite possible that an import- nt trade in Welsh anthracite may be built up through this route, and ‘in return foodstuffs, timber and ore may be shipped to Wales.” The ship- “ment of Western Canadian lean cat- tle to Welsh ports for fattening is a ated in for "cargoes of Welsh coal for Western Canadian use.—Toronto Mail and Empire. - Shortage Of Horses A Big Prob! sg a * Jem Facing The British Army To-day One of the big problems the Bri- tish army is faced with to-day is a shortage of horses, said Col. G. R. Pearkes, V.C., of the Royal Military College staff, speaking on “Training Problems of Today in the British Army,” before the Kingston Military _ ‘Institute. _ The war office does not know "Where to turn, he said, to get the horses that would be necessary in ase of mobilization and is being ‘forced into mechanization of the army whether it wants it or not. _ Contributing to this shortage, the speaker remarked, was the tariff warfare between Britain and the Trish Free State. It had knocked out Ireland, formerly of great im- Portance as # source of horses, No Surplus Of Durum Durum wheat has not contributed to the world surplus, as it is export- €d chiefly to one country, Italy, and it Is the only kind of wheat sent to Italy, where it is made into maca- roni and spaghetti.

Wa Dom nion And Provincial Governments Are Co-Operating For Protection Of Waterfowl Good Friend To Man Dairy Cow Renders Very Efficient Service To Humanity At a banquet in Ontario of the Halton and Peel Holstein Breeders’ Association an interesting item on the program was a toast “To the Dairy Cow.” Some time ago at a similar function in Brampton a champion milch cow was guest of honor in the banquet hall and munched contentedly on a ration of hay while orators extolled her vir- tues, There is something nice about such incidents.

Pro- ducers had an average yield of eight to nine tons per acre and received in flat price and bonus, about $6 per ton. x “Comparative success,’ says Mr. Buchanan, “in the planned produc- tion of sugar beets has been achiev- ed.” Many farmers in the irriga- tion area around Raymond, confront- ed with lower cereal prices, have found in sugar beets “a permanent and relatively stable source of rev- enue,” and so the Raymond plant is making its contribution to the eco- nomic stability of Alberta—Ottawa Journal, Forget The Past The traditional British attitude to- wards former enemies is to forget the past and to clasp hands in friend- ship and camaraderie. The war had not been over for many months be- fore ex-members of the German army were being received as cordi- ally in London as in the days before the great struggle. Rightly or wrongly, such has been the British policy for many generations. Love makes a young man grow a mustache and an old man shave his off.
