Pin Your Faith to Live Stock
The one outstanding feature of the world's farming is that there will soon be a
great shortage of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. They are today Canada's .
most valuable asset. If you sacrifice your breeding stock now, you will regret it in the near
future. Plan to increase your live stock. Europe and the United States, as well as Canada,
will pay higher prices for beef, mutton, and bacon, in the very near future. Remember
that live stock is the only true basis of economic and, profitable farming. The more grain
you grow, the more stock you can carry. The more stock you keep, the more fertilizer
for your fields. Mixed farming is real farming, not Speculating.
Study this table, which was prepared
before the war. Only one country
increased 'its cattle more
than its people in the past
ten. years. And, in it
(Australia) 'in.1914 there
was -a tremendous hogs' of
live stock ' through an un-
precedented drought—a fact
which • the table does not,_.
show. Da you need any
stronger argument than this ; g;
table that there is bound to
be an increasing demand.

dition,the destruction of live stock of all
kinds,breeding and young stock includ-
ed,in the war zones. The war
has merely hastened the meat
shortage of the world. Whet
it is over, the farmer with
live stock will continue to
profit in the world's
markets, and, in addition
to having helped feed our
soldiers, at the front,will
be in a position to reap a
further reward for . having
stayed with the live stock
industry. .
