It is because Britain is rich in the resources of the soil that it -is rich in manufacturing also.

These are not to be regarded as substi- tutes for manufactures. but regard- condition of them. Therein lie) the way of development. Nine- tenths of the usefulness or raw mat erials is lost to a nation that does not utilize them itsel-f. Canada is- learning to utilize its own. Not so long ago our totals of exported manufactures were. almost neglig- ible. ‘Even as late as 1914 they were only .13 per cont. of the total exports. At present thay_pra.ctical- ly equal the total of all other BX" ported goods. T-he riches oi’ the soil are the foundation of economic prosperity, but the work of men's hands an! brains in ‘translating tbiesa into finished product's is necessary .i- the walls of the house are to bo bull-t. A nation‘ may possess great riches in natural resources but until it learns to utilize them itself it ls economically the more servant of other countries. Cun- ada is becoming industrialized and its development is bound up witu its industrialization. This means, not so much that Canadian industry will thrive at the expense of agriculture as that it willvgrow on the basis of agri- culture. Agriculture too grows more industrialized. its methods, n- n makes greater use of machinery lt studies markets; and it works out plans of co-operatlon. it u. after all, a primitive view of agri- culture, which regards it as more- ly the exploitation of the soil. Agriculture in the industrial world is- the primary industry. The steelindustry carries its products through into finished steel goods of s. thousand sorts. The oil indus- try transforms its crude oil into a variety of goods. So is the agri- cultural industry in itself a pro- cess of manufacture. lt need not and does ‘not end with the produc- tion of crops. of_ cattle and of 01.1-- er live stock.

If we include towns wit-h the cities. we find that ‘in all in- dustrial kountries the proportion of town dwellers exceeds vastly the proportion of country dwellers. and that it is constantly lncrloas- ing. Canada is feeling the action of the same forces. The rural population has relatively increas- Rd in all provinces between the last two census periods and absol- utely decreased in four, including Ontario, whose urban population Engineer n 1i A ISIIlfII 0n Job HAD GIVEN UP HOPE OF EVER FULLING ANOTHER THROTTLE SAYS SKINNIOK 0- “Although I am now past seven- ty-six days - of age l am working every day for Tanlac has ‘pill. me back on the job after I had given up all work and could ever get well," peg, recently.

Disease ls the greatest liinilrnni-c in the iproper development of young pigs. In most cases ill-sease is started by the owner through tiivgligencte in following the sound privileges of sanitation. A system of disease prevention is much eas- iur and much more economical than curing a disease after it once gcts into the herd. The most effec- tive way to prevent disease is to tIFSITOy the sources of contamin- ation. If the premises are con- taminated and allowed to remain so it is only fair to expect IIISPIISCH Ill zippear among the ‘pigs whilo they ziire still quite young.
