complications developed.

heldduring the autumn and winter

er. The man declared that his.
opinion was 'based on observations.
he has made, and that if permitted
to Live the sparrows would be of
great assistance in the fight against
the borer.

and difficulty of driving a car with
a damp wind -shield, so this tip may
be valued A solution of two
ounces of glycerine and one dram of
common salt, mixed well in an
ounce of water, will keep the wind-

It should be applied in a thin layer
with a piece.. of gauze, a downward
stroke being used.

Canada's Agricultural Products
CANADA produces every year large quantities of wheat, oats, barley,
. butter, cheese, bacon, beef, eggs, apples, potatoes, grass seed and
clover seed that she cannot consume. Her natural outlet for these pro-
ducts is, of ,.course, Great Britain—the one great consuming country of
the world:: with an open market
Unfortunately, nearly every other country with any surplus of food
products seems to want to send its surplus tb this same market.
The keenness of the competition on this, our only market, and the
energy and resourcefulness of our competitors began to impress them-
selves •upon the Department of Agriculture some time ago, but it is only.
within very recent years that the real and only way to grapple with this
problem has been discovered, or at least put into effect. This Department
now believes, as do also most of -the farmers of this country, that thCk
"grading" of our agricultural products is the policy and practice that is
seeing us through the struggle and will assure us of our rightful place on
the British market.
