Export Cattle on New Footing
The United Kingdom agreement
as now ratified, puts Canadian cattle
exporters on an equal footing with
her competitors in the British mar-' ket, for the first time in thirty-1
seven years. The segregation of
store cattle from fat cattle moving
on export is no longer required. Fat
and store cattle are
move freely to inland points, with
the understanding that female cattle
must be of a quality and type satis
factory to the British Ministry of
Agriculture. Cheek branding
longer required; the period of
tion has been reduced to one
day; and a veterinary officer
longer required to accompany the
cattle on the ocean voyage. These |
concessions by the British Ministry'
of Agriculture are part of a bi-later-i
al agreement arrived at by the re- j
spective governments at the Imper
ial Economic Conference, and under
which Canada recognizes the ''Lon
don Quarantine Station, according
to1 conditions laid down in the agree
ment.
Much of the present success of the
wool growers organization is due to
the splendid reputation built up in
the past fifteen, stated Hon. T. L.
Kennedy at the recent annual meet
ing of the Canadian Co-operative
Wool Growers in Toronto. The Min
ister of Agriculture congratulated-
the management on their progress
and expressed the hope that the ex
perience being gained today would
stand the concern in good stead
the better times ahead.

per pound or around $2.00 per gal

is more difficult to apply than or-'

the necessary thickness to
stand the melting effect of the

proved enough better than the
dard wax to warrant its use in pre

Boils are caused by impurities in
the blood and are simply an evi
dence that bad blood is circulating
through the system and coming to
the surface.
The one way to get rid of this
painful blood disease is to give the
blood a thorough cleansing by using
Burdock Blood Bitters, which re
moves the foul material and thereby
banishes the boils.
Mr. John Horbay, Hafford, Sask.,
writes:—"For over two years I was
troubled with boils. I tried all
kinds of medicine without any
result. A friend told me to take
Burdock Blood Bitters. Just one
bottle and the boils were all gone.”

Champion Cana (tian Clover
Canadian Red Clover seed is well
received in the British Market,
where it has demonstrated its su
periority to clovers from other coun
tries. A leading Scottish seed firm
which pays particular attention to
the securing and distributing of the
best strains of clover crops describes
Canadian Red Clover, which is of
fered as an early strain of Broad
leaved Red, as extremely hardy and
invariably giving the best results in
trials at the West of Scotland Col
lege. In the firm’s catalogue is a
striking illustration showing plots of
various strains of clover grown for
comparison. In this the growth and
hardiness of the Canadian type is
noticeably better than that of the
English and remarkably superior to
the' Polish and Chilean varieties.
Late Seed Deliveries
In recent years deliveries -of seed
from wholesale houses to retail
dealers began, for the most part, in
early February. This year, however,
seed and feed inspectors report that
for small pigs, which are selling
from $5.00 to $6.00 per pair. It is
doubtful if there will be enough seed
available, to meet the demand in
Renfrew, as some varieties have al
ready been cleaned up. Most of the
seed-cleaning plants there are oper
