However, one of Canada's ports, Montreal, ranks sixth among the ;orld''s ports and third on the basis *1export business done during the seven months in which it is open. Newsprint production in Canada Tor the eleven months of 1923 end- ing in November was 1,166,225 tons, as compared with 993,988 tons for the same peeled in 1922, the increase being equal to 17 per cent. The estimated production for the year is 1,270,000 tons, or 189,000 tons over that for 1922. The` value of Canada's 1923 grain crop is estimated by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics at $892,572,300, Of this total approximately $450,000 is credited to the three prairie prov- inces. It is interesting to note that while the figures for Manitoba and Saskatchewan are below those of the year 1922, those of Alberta are above by over $45,000,000. Grain marketed along the Cana- dian Pacific Railway in 1923 totalled 187,642,224 bushels, an increase of 33,324,619 bushels over any similar period in the railway's history. The "" increase in bushels shipped was 18,- 086,730, or 9.2 per cent over 1922, and 83.1 per cent of the total amount marketed had been shipped by De-" cember 3rd. *: Government statistics estimate the. tipple crop of Canada for 1923 at ,10,794,500 boxes, which, at, an esti- mated average of $2 a box, makes the value a little over $21,000,00.0. By provinces the estimated produce "tion was as follows: Nova Scotia, 5,250,000 boxes; British' Columbia, 3,124,000; Ontario, 2,275,000; Qte- bee, 110,000; and New Brunswick, 35,500.

S1I jk . Scrotal Rupture Common Among the Mates. t I, Known As the Covered ethod', of Castration: Described and Recommended ,--. Mouldy Creamery' . Butter-Giilutrol , of Black Scurf of Potatoes.', (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto* Scrotal Hernia, or rupture behind, is of a very common occurrence in young male pigs. It may affect one or both sides of the scrotum. Single, or one-sided rupture is, howeyer, the one which is most commonly seen. it may be present at birth or make its appearance soon after, and usually before castration, When it occurs after castration it is often the result of a poor method of operating. Tile -presence of rupture in -pigs is always Plainly noticeable by a tumor -like enlargement of the scrotum and in- creased bulging of the parts behind, larger than is natural. , Treatment. The best and most successful means of remedying this defect in pigs is by;.,the covered method of cas- tration. • 'In performing this opera- tion the pig shbuld be so secured and held that its 'hind parts are kept at a much higher level, This can be done by holding the pig up by the bind legs.with the head downwards. This allows thebowels to recede out of the bag, or • scrotum, into the .belly. The scrotum should be washed off clean with soap and warm water and the skin then painted with a lit- tle tincture of iodine. An incision, two or three inches long, is then .made with a sharp knife just through the skin down to the Inner covering sac, which con- tains the testicle. This inner sac.. is easily:, recognizable by its smooth, shiny appearance. The inner sac is not cut Into but is left intact, covering the testicle. Through the incision in the skin, the testicle in its covering. sac is drawn out as far as possible. Care is taken to see that the bowel is not drawn out, but kept confined inside. As soon as this is assured, a string, or ligature, is tied tightly around the coverings and the cord of the testiciciR as high up les possible. The needle threaded with the liga- ture should also be passed through the cord and its covering, and the ligature tied tightly around, thus securing it against the possibility of slipping off. The testicle and its cov- ering sae are then removed by cut- ting through the cord about half an inch below the place where the liga- ture is tied. The opening in the sero- tumx, can then be partly closed by putting a stitch or two through the skin. The operation is then conm- pieted and the pig may then be let go. As a rule, little attention is afterwards required, other than plac- ing on light diet for that day.—C. Dr McGilvray, M.D.Y., Ont. Vet. College, Guelph. Moldy Creamery Butter. Where cream has been pasteurized, moldiness of butter is almost always due to surface contaminations which take place after the butter has been removed from the churn, The air during the summer is always a po- tential source of infection, loaded as it is, depending on the surroundings, with a larger or smaller number of mold spores. Untreated or ineffi- ciently treated ' print wrappers and box liners are frequently the cause. Infection has also been traced in some eases' to the unparafftned, and untreated wood of the .boxes in which the butter prints are -steered.- - Walls and ceilings of the box;storage space above some ereemerles, due to the warm andmoist conditiarnewhich pre- vail during the summer; are fre- quently green with molds, from vrhich crop after. crop ;of, ripened sporee becomes scattered around. Until such time as buttermakers take complete -and thorough steps: 'to destroy mold spores, which otherwise would come in close contact with ;but- ter" surfaces, moldiness of butter will continue to occur. -Il.

A vegetable That Grows More 1n Favor Every Year. The Best Varieties --Make Careful Selection—Sow Generously Soil and Manuring—Thinning Orchard Fruits is Worth While. (Contributed by Ontario Department. of Agriculture, Toronto.) Mang Enquiries: have been received with reference to thg eufture of asparagus. The following paragraphs answer briefly the questions usually asked. Further information will gladly* 1,e given• on request. Varieties. Reading Giant, Palmetto, Giant Argenteuil are, commonly grown good varieties. Washington and Mary Washington have recently come into prominence, partly on account of vigor but more for their comparative- resistance omparativeresistance to rust. Comparing the two, Washington is the more rust resistance and Mary Washington the more vigorous. The parentage of both is very similar, and the varieties themselves represent many years of careful breeding and selection not only for vigor and rust resistance but also for other qualities necessary in a commercial asparagus. Selection of Plants. Careful selection of plants is prob- ably of greater importance.. even than variety, There is considerable var- Iation in plants within any one variety as to vigor, productiveness, etc. An asparagus bed should last fifteen years at least so that even a small percentage of inferior plants would mean a considerable loss in returns. Fifty per cent, of the plants is not too. mealy -to discard' at plant- ing time. Use only the crowns or plants which have thick, vigorous roots and show a few large buds in a single cluster. Discard all that have thin, weak roots and many small buds. Such crowns are apt to make a large number of small shoots. Be Generous in Seeding. If possible grow your own plants from seed and grow plenty of plants so that you can discard freely as noted. One year old plants are pre- ferable to two year old. 7,260 plants are required to set an acre planted 4 feet x 18 inches. Many growers prefer a wider distance of 'planting: Allowing for fair germin- ation of seed and rigid selection of roots, from 1 to 1'4 pounds of seed should give the above number of plants. Sow thinly, in rows 30 inches to 36 inches apart„ in rich well-pre- pared soil as early in the spring as the soil can be easily worked. Soil and Manuring.. A rich well -drained deep sandy login is best suited to asparagus. Heavy applications -of manure sup- plemented with commercial fertil- izers are required to secure maxi- mum yields. In planting, the young planta are set in deep furrows so that the crowns are 6 inches below the surface. A little soil is covered over the plantsat first. Subsequent cul- tivations will level the aurface. No shoots should be taken off a young patch until the third season and care should be observed every season that planta are not exhausted by too late cutting. -0. J. Robb, Hort. Ex. Station, Vineland Station. THINNING ORCHARD FRUITS. Specific Advice As to How This Work May Be Best Done. Apples, pears, plums and peaches can all be thinned to advantage when' the crop is heavy. Some growers might question the advisability of thinning plums. and there are sea- sons, of course, when the price of this fruit is so low that obviously thinning would not pay. Such seasons, however, cannot be fore- casted, and it would seem wise, therefore, to take the chance and thin the fruit if the set is very heavy. In thinning apples,. do the work when the young fruits are about the sire of walnuts. Generally leave only one fruit to a spur and spaced about 4 to 6 Inches apart. All fruits will be removed from some spurs. All of thefruits on the underside of the branch can usually be removed to advantage. R,emeeee: all injured fruits, leaving only perfect specs- "mens. Pears should be thinned about the same as apples. The. inclination ,.of. thenaverage worker• will be to leave twice as much fruit as is ad- vigable. See `that sufficient is re- moved. • Peaches Should be spaced about four inches apart. Again do the work while the fruit is quite • small, as otherwise an unnecessary drainis put upon the tree. Plums should be thinned ; out sufficiently` so that -° at maturity individual fruits will no more than touch each other.—E. F. Palmer, Hort. Exp. Station, Vine- land Station.

Ixnaginet if you can, a train 881 miles long, or as far as from Wrrnipeg to the upper reaches of the Rocky Mountains. That is how many freight cars there would be. But cars alone cannot make a train- There are the engines, as well, and the road has kept in the neighborhood of 670 freight engines tugging grain trains east and west day and night throughout the sea: -on and in addition to theee there are 171 switch engines employed at terminals The season, be it understood, is taken as the period from the opening of the Canadian crop year, Sept. 1 to the official close of navigation with regard to shipping insurance on the Great Lakes, which fails Dec. 12, So much for computation trains. In point of fact however`, the longest train which was made'tip:during the season, consisted of 125, cars::an.d: was approximately 1 mile in length. It was operated from Stoog'hton, to Arcola,. Saska-tehewan,.;on• October 5th. The 'weight of the train not including the engine totalled 7,946 tons, of this 5,556 tons being freight. The train handled 185,000 bushels of wheat. Now during the season, there were 88 days on which ears_ could be loaded, for Sundays are excluded. During those 88 days "there were trains operated on au average every 50 minutes day and night, trains carrying nothing but grain mind you; for passenger traffic and other freight besi Tessa were conducted at „the sametime, and on uninterrupted schedules, too, be it noted. These trains were on an -average 4,5 .cars long. •-'1%to. Dec. 12,1923,there were In ail, from Sept, . .... , . marketed in districts served by the Canadian"Paelfie Railway more :than, 20Q,000,000 bushels of all pales .the largeslt quantity ever repgrted since the inceptien of the road. Taking theloaded as more trtily representative ears of the activities of the company in the matter of :grain movement, these -have -been reported at 116;232 for. „the., period,, representing 169,931,184 bushels. Suppose 'for a mcralent that all that grain were to be dumped into a river bed 100 feet wide and five feet deep, and that the new `river' were able to flow at an average rate for water, say a mile an hour, then he who stood on the bank and had the ,patience to watch, might pitch his tent and picnic for three and one half days before this stream would be dried up. A second trip into the land of imagination and one might put mountains in the background, and might make those mountains up of all the grains kernels which had been taken from the freight cars engaged in their transportation. If the grain were heaped up on acre lots of ground, ;there might well be three mountains, and each one of them would tower 5,000 feet into the heavens. The Canadian Pacific railway station at Lake Louise, one of the highest in .the Rocky Mountains, is 5,044 feet above sea level. In the three mountains would be included oats, rye, barley, flax — all the coarse grains commonly grown in the Dominion as well as wheat, but if the latter were to be sorted out and put into mountains by itself, sup there' were still to be three mountains, then each of �gwould rise 4,200 feet from the ground. Banff itself is only 4,500 feet above the sea. But after all, wheat is of little use in imaginary rivers or even mountains, however high or picturesque they may be. Let us consider what would happen if all the wheat were made into flour (leaving cotese grains aside) and kneaded up and baked into bread. If this were done there would be approximately 104.700 miles of regulation size, 16 ounce loaves, if they were placed end to end. This tremendous string of loaves would stretch back and forth across Canada, from Montreal to Vancouver 36 times. If the loaves were laid side by si.1i' and end to end, they would farm a solid belt across the Dorninion wider than the height of a city lamp post. Again if they were piled in a trans -Canada wall one loaf dee the height of the 12, . , P g wall would be feet. esti' Aparticularlyinter feature hegrain move- ment >� ... of xr m ment of the, present season adeorein to; co'napany officials is , the increase which had—been: ;tired in the amount of glume sent by Canadian Pacifig.•to' Vancouver for. export.
