Thus the corporation's ill luck brought a certain degree of recom- pense to itself and much benefit to csnadian elevators and elevator workers. In Midland alone, where more than 5,000,000 bushels of the wheat is stored, it is estimated that so workmen have found steady em- ployment ell winter, a condition which had not prevailed since be- fore the crash in wheat prices. Midland ,, , butchers and outfitters have been benefitted. with an exceptionally marked de- cline in shipping activities, this u. tra employment has been a wind- fall to workmen. Engineering plants and ship outfitting companies this year employ about ~25 percent, of their normal staffs. Extra work at the elevators has relieved the strain on municipalities.

There were no major accidents in connection with the operation of the fleet during the past year. “The decrease in revenue was due to the continued general depression in world business," the (lccument sets out. "Forty-seven ompleted voyages were made in the year as compared with 81 in 1930." Sale of the Canadian Voyageur in Febru- ary of last year for $50,000 reduced the fleet to twenty-nine steamers. ' An analysis oi the report shows that operating revenues in 193i were $3,780,228.84 as contrasted with 85.154.003.11 in the previous year, a decrease of $1,375,674.27. Operating expenses were $4,233,514.37 as against $5,099,114 in 1030, a decrease of $i,765.590.03.. LIVE STOCK BEGlSTlI-ATIONS T‘he annual report oi the federal Minister of Agriculture contains an interesting reference to the number of certificates of registration iuued for pure-bred- live rtock during the period covered by the report. It shows that registration certificates issued for 051 horses, of which 249 were thoroughbred, 208 Clydesdales, 104 Percherons, and 135 standard bred. A total of 18,222 registrations were certified for cattle, the Short- born breed leading with 6.087, Ayr- shire: totalled 4.700, Jerseys 8,440. and I-Ierefcrds 2,878. A total of 10,- 017 certificates were issued for sheep and 6,781 for swine. The other four groups under national live stock re- gistration include poultry, with a total of 1,008; foxes 88,800; dogs to the number of 4,158; and 80 goats. l1.‘ WORKS BOTH WAYS The cost of transportation is an important factor determining the profitable source through which special crops can be distributed. ec- cording to a report just received by the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. Taking the early carrot as an instance, Eastern Canada im- ports its supply very largely from Texas and the British West Indies. The situation is reversed with res- pect to the Pacific Coast area where British Columbia growers export considerable quantities of this vege- table to the Pacific sections of the United States. ' CARE OI‘ HATCIIING EGGS ' This is the time of the year when the farmer with a good poultry flock finds hatching eggs in big de- mand. There are some points in the handling ‘of hatching eggs which may appropriately be referred to at this time. Too much care can not beaxercised in culling rggs which are intended for hatching use. A metal bucket should not be used be- cause the contact with e hard surface may cause a check or crack in the shell. Straw or burlap gives protection. There should be plenty or nests available to the hens, from llto l5 nests per 100 birds- When culled. hatching eggs should not be kept too warm, germ growth starts at a temperature of co de- fies and the room in which the eggs are kept until delivered to the hatchery should not be more than 50 to 00 degrees. like! should be delivered to the hatchery as soon after they are collected as possible. and its different classes vi "inlay- ees have remained cordial. lantern lines ' The report covering eastern lines shows a total revenue cf 823,231,- 424." ‘Ibtal expenses iwyrs $29,624.- IU, leaving a net revepue deficit for the year of 06,803,502, an inlrease over the net revenue deficit of H30 of 01,005,000.

PRINCES Lovnns or nous To discourage the discarding of dogs in migland to avoid paying li- cense fees, officials are calling at- tention to the fact that all British princes are dog-lovers. Cora, a Cairn terrlor, is the Prince of Wales favorite, and he has two others. The Duke of York owns a Golden Retriever, while the Duke of Glou- cester is devoted to two Scottish ter- riers. Prince George's canine oom- paniorl is a Great Dane.

"Someone just forgot about it," fin- ally declared the councillors. ROOM FOR. EXPANSION A statement just issued by the Dominion Live Stock Branch with respect to testing and production of daily cows is of special interest at this time. It shows that there is in the whole of Canada a total of 83,336 cows out of an aggregate of 3,003, or only 1.72 per cent, now un- der official test. Cow testing in On- tario, Saskatchewan ,and British Columbia is now carried out under the supervision of the provincial Department of Agriculture, while in the other six provinces the federal Department is carrying out the work. There are at the present time a total of 447 associations in the several provinces engaged in carry- ing out this form of uctrcity. FIRST-RUN s..- rs BEST One of the peculiarities cf maple products is the fact that syrup, su- gar, or maple cream made from the first-run sap is always the best. Some of the reasons advanced for this are that the first-run of sap is practically pure water (ind sucrose, while each succeeding run finds a larger percentage of carbonic acid gas absorbed through the growing bud and leaf surface, with a direct effect on cap elaboration. It is also claimed that utensils for gathering the sap and for "boiling down" are in much better condition at the start oi the season than they: are later on when sugar sediment gath- ers at the bottom oi the boiler or evaporator and when accumulations of sugar begin to carbonlze from the heat of evaporation, thereby giving a darker colour and stronger flavour. Each succeeding run of sap does give stronger flavour to the product and also a darker ml- our‘. This is the reason for the grades in maple products as prov'd- ed under the Maple Products Indus- try Act. The four grades arc "Can- ada Fancy," "Canada Light," "Can- OALL A BOBBIE‘. London policemen are wonderful. That is what all visitors are sup- posed to say to newspaper inter- viewers as a conversational opening, whether they actually say it or not. And Londoners believe it too. And with reason. There seems to be no end to the qualities with which people have endowed the man in blue as representin, the majesty of the law. The other day he was given a new job. It was nothing less than to keep a stern aye on Father Thames, who had seemed disposed to celebrate the time of year by spreading himself dangerously over what should have been his banks. 'I‘hus there were “bobbies" by the hundreds all engaged on King Connie's job of saying in the tide, “Thus far shalt thou come and no further." What is more, while Can- ute fell down on the job the Lon- don pciicenlen didn't. Father Tharrl. reluctantly decided that it was time he went down to sea again. So he went, and London re- mained unflccded. Londoners believe that if the sun or moon ever decide to collide with the earth, most people, even Com- munists, would merely call a Lon- don policeman. TRAVELLING FARM SCHOOLS Since their inception in 926 spec‘- ially equipped agricultural trains, which are virtually travelling agri- cultural schocls, havg had a record- ed attendance of 134,000 farmers. In the operation of these trains the Canadian National Railways, the various provincial governments, and the Experimental Farms Branch of the federal Department oi agricul- ture have co-operated. They have proven to be of considerable assist- ance to farmers in respect to in- creasing the productivity of the soil, better breeding, greater emol- cncy in the feeding and manage- ment of live stock, in extending the appreciation of the use of lean seed and deficiency in the management of field crops and other far-m olctfvi- ties.

GYPSY HOME BURNED IN HOM- AGE In compliance with an ancient gypsy custom the caravan and all tbs earthly possessions of Lavinia Bowers, head of an encampment on Botany Bay Common, Sholing, Eng- land, were burned, following her death at the age of 75. The Bow- ers family established the colony about 100 years ago. As the flames consumed the yellow caravan on red wheels, five sons and one daugh- ter looked on. Three feather beds, a brass stove, ornaments, and all the dead woman's clothing were in- cluded in the holocaust. Frederick Bowers, the eldest son. said, "1t was my mother's last wish." “KEEP BOPING" Keep hoping, oh thou weary one, God hears your every plea, Fight on, be brave, have faith, Let not your courage flee.
