LEA. LIVE STOCK NOTES During thc ten months ending Oc- tober 31st, tlietotal -exports of live stock from Canada amounted to 229,- 380 cal-tio, 70.234 calves, 130,177 sheep and 28,616 swine. Of the tonal ex- -ports, 201.087 cattle, 24,893 calves. 52.872 sheep and 1,090 hogs were p\u'- chased at Canadian Stock Yards. According to the above figures, 33 por cent. of the cat-llc. 65 per ce-ul. of the calves, 60 ‘percen-t. of the sheep and 96.2- percent of the-hogs were not purchased at Public Stock Yords. The totol exports however, included pure- bred stock privately sold for breed- ing purposes. Tho high -percentage direct; ealports of hogs wool d-ue largely to the heavy -shipments during the first. two mont-hs of the year when approximately 22.000 head wont. out or the coiuitry. 'i‘hc value of the Live Stock lndus- try as u revenue producer is well illtistmtetl -by the financial returns from exports of cattle, calves, sheep and hogs during ‘t-he first' ten mon/the of the present year. During that .per- iod we exported 528,407 live mea animals valued at $35,583,328. Cattle iexports were valued at \$32,990_,609 and at n heed price of $110.20; calves at $1,391,304 and at a. head prive of $19.80; sheep at $1,484,263 and ot a. $717,152 and nt' at lioml price of $25.- 06 lixporls from Stock Yards up to time of writing, show a l90 percent. . ore, l00 percent. increase in Sheep and Lambs, 63 percent increase in Cnlvea, and 220 percent. decrease in boils. when compared with thc same -period of 1918. __-__-svengnux THE RACE TRACK AND THE BREEDER.

This czroperutiou between- the track manager, horse owner, and t/he breeder has always existed although the majority-of the_lust named have iiot been very active in race manage- ment during the past twenty iyears.
