SENDING CATTLE TO BRITAIN The movement .of cattle from the range to lands where there is better forage and an opportunity of finish­ ing them satisfactorily for the beet market is more or less world wide for every continent has some dry range which produces lean cattle easily but fat cattle with great dif­ ficulty. An example of this migration was afforded by the passage in former days of lean Icelanders across the sea to the United Kingdom, where they were fattened. There has not been much of that lately but until 'comparatively recently there were half a million head in a year. In the southern region of the Andes, Argentine cattle cross the Bolivian high plains to reach the market in the nitrate mining camps of Chile. The poor animals have to travel three days and nights without food or water through mountain passes in freezing cold. Much easier is the lot of the Highland sheep driven slowly to market along roads with wide tracks on each side covered with lucious green grass, the sheep improving all the Avay. Cattle from the Irish Free State, which now sends the largest supply of meat on the hoof to the United Kingdom, have a journey. Western Canadian cattle going to market have a long hard journey travelling iby train to the cities of Eastern Canada, and the experience of the animals which have to cross the ocean to Glasgow or Liverpool, is not a bed of roses when winds blow into gales and ships swing over on their beam ends. We sent about '4 0,(100 Head 'of cattle to the United Kingdom last year, but two or three years ago we sent about 55,000, according to the External Trade Branch of the Do- hiinion Bureau o’f Statistics, De­ ptarment of Trade and Commerce. short THE NATIONAL EMBLEM v ITh© first national emblem of Can­ ada was Undoubtedly the beaver and it was considered as the national emblem (until 19'21. In that year the aij^n of the furtrading compan­ ies,the North West and the Hudson diverted the fur-trade from the Lawrence Valley to Hudson Bay. /The triumph of the Hudson’ Bay over the No’ Westers meant the vir­ tual loss of the fur-trade to Canada, and the beaver therefore, ceased to be applicable or suitable as a nation­ al emblem. Before this happened the Maple Leaf was regarded as the emblem of the French Canadians, as distinct from the thistle which was the em­ blem of the Scottish Canadians. In 1834 the Maple Leaf was formally adopted as the emblem of the St. Jean Baptiste Society of Lower Can­ ada but during the time of the re­ bellion in 1837, it was almost re­ garded as an emblem of disloyalty— to such an extent that there was hostility to its adoption later in the Canadian West. During the visit of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, the Maple Leaf was formally adopted by resolution as the badge or emblem worn by native-born Canadians in the procession in Toronto where the Prince was being welcomed. In the same year ■the 100th Regiment, the Royal Canadians, incorp orated the Maple Leaf in their badge, At the time of Confederation, the armorial bearings of Quebec and Ontario bore the Maple Leaf and its acceptance became more or less of­ ficial. Since then it has appeared on Canadian coins, stamps and as a badge of the Canadian militia. The Canadian national anthem, The Maple Leaf, was compo^d in 1867 by Alexander Muir, a Toronto schoolmaster, who came to Canada at the age of three. He was a grad­ uate of Queen’s University. He died thirty-one years ago. KHIVA Mr. and Mrs. C. Kenney and children Pat and Donna and Mr. J. Kenney and Miss Alice Kenney, of Detroit, spent the week-end with Mr, and Mrs. Ben McCann.
