'l‘O BE SPECIFIC.

It would simplify matters if our free trade

'frieflds would ‘be more specific in their demands for

the removal of duties. “Free agricultural imple- ments” has become a sort of slogan over which they weep in sympathy with the farmers. What imple- ments do they wish to admit free? We are importing now from the United States something like $25,000,- 000 worth of these farm implements upon which a duty is collected amounting to about a million anda half dollars, or six per cent average duty. This, it may be remarked, consists of duitable and undutiable im- plements. On which of these do they consider the duty is harsh or oppressive? It is no use beating the wind. Talking in general ‘terms on matters upon which the average citizen has but a vague idea, will get us nowhere.

Of course it makes a beautiful political story to tell the famnar that be is being oppressed by the bloat ed monopolists who are making millions at his ex- pense in the manufacture of agricultural implements but the story teller invariably omits to tell the farm- er the advantages he derives from the protection af- forded him by the duties which keep his southern neighbor from flooding our market with his farm produce. , i

The farmers who have listened for overlsome forty years to this sympathetic free trade story are beginning to wonder if there is any more in it today than there was when the accredited free trade party refused to touch it; they know it is only a political story intended to bewilder and to win votes. Now they are beginning to ask questions; they want to know where the axe can be applied to the duty with- out injury -to Canada and the free traders refuse to

l be specific. 1

(L‘.-\'I"I‘I.I'I I‘R()SI’I'I("I‘S.

‘Nesxtern cattlemen are at present anxious over the possibility of the United States putting a duty on the import of stockers and feeders from Canada. The exportation of this class of cattle from Canada has grown rapidly as is indicated by the fact that in 1910 we sent 158,000 cattle over the line. In 1919 the total had risen to 342,000 and for- the fiscal year end ing March 31 last the figure was 516,000 valued at,

in round numbers, $50,000,000. This is a large trade and, with the political pot in the United States continually boiling, there is al- ways danger of interruption by tariff manipulations. The only safeguard against anytdanger of this kind is to improve the quality of our cattle. This applies equ ally to eastern as to western Canada. It has been demonstrated over and over again that we can uro- duce as good cattle as Argentine and Australia whose cattle are our great competitors in the wor1d’s mar- kets and which we have not yet been able to meet suc cessfully not because We cannot raise as good cattle but because we do not raise enough of the right kind. Figures have beeen published showing that of 698,849 cattle marketed at Canadian stockyards in 1919 for home consumption 359,418 graded “good” and 339,431 graded common, that is 48.5 per cent were “common”. With this proportion we cannot hope to cope withthe high class beef from the world's great cattle countries. With fifty two percent of our animals we can defy competition but, hampered by the forty eight per cent of “common” we are at a dis- advantage. a We can do better than 52 per cent. By selecting proper sires, by caring for the herd as it ought to be cared for, by paying proper attention to breeding and feeding we can hold our own in any market. There is no excuse or reason for the scrub cow. It is an expensive piece of property in any case and the fewer we have of them the better. One good cow can produce more in milk and in progeny than half a dozen and costs very much less to ke-ep than the half dozen, indeed the half dozen may be more of a liabil- ity than an asset, may be boarders that do not pay their board.

_In_ this province too few of our farmers have specialized m cattle but those who have know that it 1s the most profitable on the farm. With our rail- way facilities today we are not as far from the beat- en path of commerce as we were when we were iso- lat-ed during four or five months of the year; we are

We refer to the beuiflcence of our P1959111 1°°111 government rule, and that splrlt of jubilant satisfaction and undying contentment twhlch, according to the evening organ, has so wonder- fully possessed the 990MB 01 '95“ province. It seems remarkable that a people so specially well pleased with the new TAXATION Act, the

bungled up school system, the mag" I nlflcent mud roads, the enormously

One isolated writer, whethdr ‘from wlt-h- ln or without the precincts of their office deponent knoweth not, ls accused in its post-thanksgiving issue e1 Speﬂklllg kindly of their road improvement. Whether the utterance was ln sarcasm or char- ity is not qulte plain. It was notice- able however that he was most careful to especially extend his vislonury decriptlon beyond n sale radius ct‘ six miles from Charlotte- town. Two conditions might ln~ fluenee this. First, the rlBk of 100 many contradictory witnessnes so near to n populous metropolis, and second, the old aylom that dls~ lance lcndts enchunllnent to the vlew. But, assumlng the Pall-lot to be telling the truth, why this cutting out of road improvement within sir miles of the business centre and Capitol of the province?

‘1-

t Fox Netting being sold by length. it is difficult for buyers to malle an accurate comparison between quotations, as the. price per length is not: true guide; and we venture to draw your attention lo the POINTS WHICh SHOULD BE LOOKED FOR in'Fox Wire and which alone afford a real a guide as to its worth. ' '

. . - l~ 1—The main factor in the cost of_Fox Wire ls WEIGHT, and weigh in the same wav is an important factor ln IlS value to the user. This, there

fore, is the first point to which a buyer should direct his attention, and he ask you to compare carefully the approximate uclghts of our Netting, wllh any Netting offered by our competitors.

2-—Just as in the case ofa chain the strength is that of its weakest link, so in the case of Fox Wire one thin or faulty wire may destroy the value of the roll. U NIFORMITY OF GAUGE is, there-tote, of great impor- tance. All the wire used in the manufacture of this Netting IS drawn by a SPECIAL PROCESS, insuringthe highest dt gree of accuracy and regularity, both in size and temper. ‘

3—-REGULARITY OF MESH contributes much lo the gcod appear- ance of Netting, and this is insured ly‘ the unilolnlily ir. gal go at d ll fllltl‘ of wire used in making this netlir g.

lll-Forease ill erection it is of great importance that Netting should run out STRAIGHT AND FLAT, and to this point the tnanufaclurers have devoted particular attention. They have late adapted IMPROVED PAT- lgNgAllilygghllNERY, and their netting now is TRAIGHT and AS FLAT A3

5-—In GALVANIZING, only the finest metal is used, and their 1011f experience of galvanizing insures that in this respect this Netting is as p01 fect as possible.

We will be pleased to mail you price list and samples of this Woven Fox Netting on request. a

We are selling large quantities of this celebrated Netting to all Pall’ of Canada, and we strongly advise our customers to serd us a list (f tho! req llrements at once, as the stock may be depletel in a short-time. I have everything in stock to equip a fox ranch.
