" GAIN or no gain the cause before the farmers of Canada is as clear as it was last
l.� year—they must produce abundantly in order to meet the demands that may
be made, and I believe this to be especially true in regard to live stock, the world's
supply of which must be particularly affected in this vast struggle."—HON.
MARTIN BURRELL, Minister of Agriculture.
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE BASED ON REPORTS CONTAINED IN
" THE AGRICULTURAL WAR BOOK, 1916," PUBLISHED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, OTTAWA, OXT.
LIVE STOCK—The herds and flocks of Europe
have been greatly reduced. When the war is over
there will be a great demand for breeding stock.
Canadian farmers should keep this in mind.
MEATS—In 1915 Great Britain imported 664,508
tons of beef, mutton and lamb, of which 364,245
tons came from without the Empire. Out of
430,420 tons of beef only 104,967 tons came from
within the Empire.
The demands of the Allies for frozen beef,
canned beef, bacon and hams will increase rather
than diminish. Orders are coming to Canada.
The decreasing tonnage space available will give
Canada an advantage if we have the supplies.
DAIRYING—Hone consumption of milk, butter
and cheese has increased of late years. 'The war
demands for cheese have been unlimited. The
Canadian cheese exports from Montreal in 1916
were nearly $6,500,000 over 1914. Prices at
Montreal—Cheese: January 1915. 1514, to 17
cents ; January 1916, 18?4 to Ina' cents.
Butter : January 1915, 24 to 28 rents ;
January 1916, 32 to 33 cents.
EGGS—Canada produced $30,000,000 worth of
eggs in 1915 and helped out Great Britain in the
shortage. Shippers as well as producers have a
duty and an opportunity in holding a place in
that market.
WRITE TO THE DOMINION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND TO YOUR
PROVINCIAL DEPARTMENT FOR BULLETINS ON THESE SUBJECTS
Tens of thousands of Canada's food producers have enlisted and gone to the front. It is only fair to them
that their home work shall be kept up as far as possible. The Empire needs all the food that a can produce
in 1916.

Tuesday morning, April 18th, this
locality was shocked to hear of the
sudden death of Mr. Michael Liddy.
Deceased was one of the earliest settlers
here. When the various roads were
traced by the blazes on the trees, and
the belated traveller was cheered during
his nocturnal wanderings and by the
howling of the wolves. Mr. Liddy was
quite a hunter and trapper. Many a
fine deer and prowling bear was the
victim of his gun. He cleared a farm
on the 5th concession of West Wawa -
nosh. A few years ago he retired to
the village. His partner in life survives
him but no family. He was a member
of the Roman Catholic Church here.
His remains were interred in the
cemetery here.

BELMOn E
Startingly sad and sudden was the
death summons that came to Mr. Chr-
istian Johann of the Howick townline
on Wednesday, April 12th. He had
been slightly indisposed during the week,
but it was thought due to overwork,
and no serious results were looked for.
On Wednesday morning his heart gave
out and he expired in a very short time.
Deceased was 55 years of age, and was
a prosperous farmer. He had been
busy recently making preparations for
the erection of a new house and barn
on his farm and it is quite likely that
the hard labour entailed hastened his
death. Mr. Johann was one of the
most intelligent men in this section of
the country. He was the organizer of
the South Bruce Rural Telephone Co.
Limited, and a great measure of the
success of that organization is due to
his wisdom and • foresight. He had
many friends, and possessed many ad-
mirable traits of character. His death
is deeply lamented. He leaves, beside
his widow, four sons, bred, Henry,
Otto, and Hugo and one daughter, Mrs.
Robt. Maslin of Harriston.
• South and north of Regina, and be-
tween that city and Winnipeg, floods
from melting snow have been the worst
experienced in Saskatchewan and
Manitoba since 1904.
