Papua boast 135 motor-cars and
trucks, while Borneo, famous for its
head-hunters, is abreast of Papua in
the number of its motor-vehicles, ac-|

the Ullman Feature Service, based on.
the international registration figures.
The Society Islands boast a registra-j
tion of 365 cats, including 9 motor

of 260, while Guam, an American
cable post in the Pacific, has 269 cars.
Even the Cook Islands, with an area ‘
of only 142 square miles, possess 75.
automobiles. |
The motor-car is gradually forcing
its way into the farthest corners of;
the earth, says William Ullman,!
writer of the article, though in a few
countries it is still advancing with
faltering steps. We read:
That part of the world which per
haps is the most untouched, fvom this
view-point, is Tibet, where a lone, soli

vehicle. This country, lying high in
the mountains of Central Asia, seldom
is visited by outsiders, and then gen
erally on foot or by means of animals.
Next in line are the Solomon Islands,
where there are but two automobiles
to be found. The Gilbert Islands also
have the distinction of having but two
automobiles registered.
Afghanistan, a country to the north-
wesr of India, has a total of 165 auto

In the case of British dependencies,
some further interesting figures are
brought to light. British Somaliland

Some New Varieties of Apples
The Division of Horticulture of the
Dominion Experimental Farms. Branch,
has for manv years been carrying on
breeding work with different kinds ofl
j fruit apd each season sees some new
j varieties of special promise produced.
So far as apples are concerned it is
the cbject of the Division to origin
ate new varieties, the seasons of use
for which will cover the whole year,
and which will at the same time
possess all the characteristics neces
sary to ensure popularity. The latest
report of the Dominion Horticulturist,
distributed by the Publications
Branch, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa, gives descriptions of some of
the most recently originated varieties.
Among the most promising of the new
apples is Coxstone, a Stone seedling
which bears no mffrked resemblance
to its parent, except in flavor. It
is yellow splashed with orange red,
the predominate color being orange
red, and is a nice dessert apple of at
tractive appearance. Its season is
probably from December to

McIntosh and Forest cross is a

mobiles.
Of the independent countries in Af
rica, Abyssinia has a total of 100 cars,
further development being hampered
by reason of lack of roads. Liberia,
on the west coast of Africa, has 73
automobiles registered.
The famed Rock of Gibraltar,
known as the guardian to the en
trance of the Mediterranean Sea, has
an automobile registration of 577 cars,
while Hong Kong, also a British pos
session, has 1,579 automobiles regis
tered.
Some interesting registration figures
are brought to light by Mr. Ullman
when examining those. of South
America. The largest number he,
finds in Argentina, where there are ’
more than 222,000 cars, while, the
smallest number, 711, is in Paraguay.
Bolivia has more than 2,000 cars,1
Ecuador about 1,100, and the other
States range between 5,000 and 20,000, i
except Brazil, where 81,100 cars are1
in operation. We read further; I

undeveloped resources and to speed up
the return to prosperity by the creation
of new industries, new production and
new trade.
Much has been said of the extent of
Canada's resources but it has probably
been their variety, as distinct from
their sheer extent, that has stood the
country in greatest stead. New develop
ment has been versatile and widely dif
fused, not confined to one or two lines.
And Canadian business has enjoyed a
great, cumulative stream of fresh
strength drawn from many different
sources—from growth in forest industry,
in water-power development, io mining,
and in tourist trade which is largely ”
attributable to the Dominion's scenic
and other recreational resources,
While the comparative figures, for
1922 and 1927, of mining output, in
stalled water-power, newsprint produc
tion and tourist revenue cover ouiy
four fields, they serve at least to sug
gest what a powerful and versatile im
petus Canadian business has derived in
the last few years from the extension«
of natural resources developtneaL
B
Seldom has Canada’s business out
look shown such a volte-face as has
occurred in the last few years. Six
years ago the Dominion struggled in
the depths of depression. Today pros
perity is at a high level, and the year
■ 1927 has been authoritatively labelled
as “ the most expansive year in business
enterprise that this country has ever
known.”
Many factors have had a hand in this
about-turn—the improvement of world
conditions; the series of good crop
years; the re-adjustment of prices; the
capacity shown by the Canadian people
in the face of adversity.
But, back of all these, the Dominion’s
business recovery has had the inestim
able benefit of one special advantage.
The Canadian* people have been in the
fortunate position of possessing a coun
try with great undeveloped resources.
They have not, in the same degree as
the people of older countries, been
compelled to wait and rely upon the
revival of old-established industry and
trade. ..They have been able to turn to

Recleaned Elevator Screenings for
Fattening Hogs
A series o-f tests have been made
at several of the Dominion Agricul
tural Experimental Stations to ascer
tain the value of recleaned elevator
screenings as a feed.,for hogs. These
recleaned screenings are described in
a new Dominion Department of
Agriculture pamphlet on Screenings
as a Feed for Livo Stock, as contain
ing about 50 to 70 per cent, of wild
buckwheat, 20 to 40 per cent, broken
or shrunken, wheat, some wild oats,
and not over 3 per cent, of small weed
seeds.
One experiment conducted at the!
Central Farm at Ottawa showed that
finely ground recleaned screenings
had a high feeding value for hogs.
They were very much better than
screenings not recleaned. In tests
at the Bandon Farm the reeleaned
elevator screenings gave more rapid
gains In fattening hogs and a lower
feed consumption per pound of gain
than did barley. In experiments at
the Lennoxville Station, the reclean
ed screenings, when fed alone, com
pared favorably with mixed meal and
with barley rations. They gave
still better results, however, when
fed in mirtures. Tests at other ex
perimental stations have given simi
lar results.
In all the tests made at the vari
ous stations recleaned elevator screen
ings showed a high, feeding value,
comparing favorably with good -meal
mixtures and with such single feeds
as barley, corn and oats, nusually
high rates of gain were made with
the hogs fed screenings, these being
exceeded only by lots fed on good
meal mixtures. In all cases the
screenings were finely ground. The
pamphlet may be obtained from the
Publications Branch, Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa.
