" Indian Success In Stock Raising CATTLE 0N RESERVES IN WESTERN CANADA IN. GREASE!) IN 1932 —II1GH QUALITY MAINTAINED. In live-stock raising, the Ind- lens of the three Prairie Prov- i'°° inces of Canada continue to show marked improvement according to *5 s recent report of the Depart- ment of Indian Affairs. During the year 1931 cattle on all the re- serves showed an increase in num- u‘ bera while the horses, which are of a good farm tyne. were in ex- 7 cellent shape when the season's farming operations were drawn to a close last sutunm. The Department reports that there are between 23,000 and 24,- 000 head of cattle on the various reserves in Manitoba. Saskatche- wan end Alberta, which is the largest number yet recorded. The 193i. increase was a substantial one. Over 1,400 steers were sold on the market by the Indians and it is estimated that approximately 1.000 head were slaughtered for use on the reserves. After taking these reductions into consideration the not increase was about 2,000 head. An outstanding feature of the cattle raising operations on Indian hllh quality of stock. Steers from the various reserves placed on the "Den market have commanded the hisheet prices and s substantial source of revenue had been estab- lished. tbroulh" stock raising. Prom prove the stock with beneficial re- - suits. The growing interest of the Indians in this branch of farming is a matter of gratification to the Dfliflriment, better shelters beini; provided and e. general improve- - merit in care being noted. The number oi’ Indians milking cows increased during i931 and the practice is an indication oi’ con- tinued healthy growth. The question of pasturage and forage for cattle on the India-r. re- serves in the southern part of the Pralzle Provinces caused consider- able anxiety but late rains reliev- ed the situation. The pastiirngc lhmllshout the dried out areas was not good until after Juiv l Heavy rains improved conditl considerably so that up to the 91$ of the year it was not necessary to feed hay from the stacks. Ap- proximately 75,000 tons of hay and green feed were put up last year by the Indians in the West.’ DR.- JAMES WALSH, MT. STEW- ART > The death occurred very sudden- ly on Feb. 26th of Dr. James Walsh of Mt. Stewart in his 77th year, ending a life of faithful service in his community. Dr. Walsh was born in Charlottetown, being .the only son of Mr. James Walsh. He received his early education at pub- lic school, and was graduated from St. Dimatsns College, afterwards entering the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in I876 at the early age of 22 years. Being a bril- liant student he later took several post graduate in New York, Chicago and Mayo Clinic, which added greatly to his success in his m “ 1 piofeasion. In I877 he returned to P. E. 1., where he entered upon his prac- tice at Mount Stewart. did his work well and faithfully for fifty five years, and died leaving a wide circle oi’ friends to cherish the memory of a. good man who shared with them the joys and sorrows of their lives and worked successfully for the welfare of his community. He leaves a son-owing wife, for- merly Minnie Egan and nine chil- dren, Jamcs, Mlnneapolisyflegin- eld, Ivan and Clarence in ~ New York, Evelyn and Aileen in Boe- ton, Frances in Saskatchewan. Mary, R. N, and Helen at home: two grandchildren, James and Joseph Walsh, New York city. His only sister Mary, (Mrs. Dennis Murphy) predeceased him several years ago. His funeral which took piece on the 29th was very largely attend- ed, friends coming from all parts of the country. Requiem High Mas was celebrated by his Pastor, Rev. A. P. McLeilan, Rev. J. B. McIn- tyre, deacon. Rev. D. P. Croken. sub-deacon, Rev. P. D. McGulgan. Master of Ceremonies. The funeral was under the direction of Mr. A. A. Hennessy of Charlottetown. The pallbearers were: Dr. Martin, John McAskiil, George Jay, A. J. Grant. Ross Pigott and Roy Jay. Repre- sentatives of Knights of Columbus and C. M. B. A. were also present. Many beautiful floral tributes, Mass Cards, telegrauis and letters of sympathy were received from all parts of Canada, United States and London. England. R. I. P. D0 N01‘ OVEBPBUNE In years past the necessity of pruning has often been exaggerated but some of coilrse is necessary. At least no tree should be burdened by diseased or dead wood, and notrce should be allowed to retain inter- fering branches. In the old orch- ard that has been neglected, taking out this dead and diseased wood and the removal of the interfering branches will be enough for one year's 10b. In some cases it may be too much, for in those cases where neglect has been the rule there may be too many interferinll branches. Hove you not. seen tree into which the pruning saw has gone for the first time in years. shoot up innumerable water Sprouts’? They come from ell the branches and even the trunks of the trees. AN BND QTA Tloivf", ' tre overpd. e happy medium in pruning is reached where the dead and diseased wood is tak- en out and then lmy Bllfliillb WW to the point where there will b9 uniform twig growth over the tree and no extra-strong water sprouts.’ It is better to take two, three or even four years for this job of cleaning up the oicl orchard, and instead of spending all the time and enthusiasm on the pruning 50b. spend a little on the hlBhlY MP9!" tent job of getting the spraying un- der way when the time for first spraying arrives.

Qur equipment had been over-taxeclin producing millions of blades to supply the market at one time. Quality had been "out our realizing it. lm- mediately everything possible was done to bring quality back to the established Gillette standard. More than this, we determined to prevent the possibility of similar trouble occuring in the future. set out to develop or find a better production process, impos- sible as this seemed oi accomplishment consulted one authority alter another, laid our problem before everywhere. Finally we purchased for our ex- clusive use and at tremendous cost a manufacturing process that was amaz- ingly superior to our own. ' By this method, modem and automatic, millions of blades can be made at top speed without variation in quality. Furthermore, it produces an incompa- rabiy keen, smooth-shaving blade. We incorporated refinements of our own in- vention and installed the new machinery, throwing out all of our old equipment. Factory procedure was changed from start to finish. Now we are ready to announce today's Gillette blade. it has been on the market for several months, and the reception ac- corded‘ it has been enthusiastic beyond our loudest expectations. We felt sure we had a blade of extraordinary quality, but we wanted to be positive beyond doubt: before making a formal announcement. Today we have that assurance-the un- stinted praise oi shavers throughout the Dominion. Every dealer has this Gillette blade. We believe none of the old blades are in stock. The green Gillette package remains unchanged but the blade is new in every respect, quality, performance, and method of manufacturing. You can try today's Gillette blade with- out risking a cent. if you don't agree it is superior, return the package to your dealer and he'll refund your money. Our reputation depends upon the ' proof of these claims. Being absolutely certain of the quality of this Gillette blade, we do not hesitate to make this statement over our signature.
