It is estimated that over 60,000
acres were sown with corn in Al-
berta in 1923, as oompared with
only 1.000 acres' in 1919. This is a

All previous records of Canadirut
freight transportation were broken
when a solid train -load of automo-
biles reached the Pacific Coast from
Windsor, Ont., Over Canadian Pa-
e& lines recently. The distance of
2,932 !idles was covered in seven
days, or ',exactly 169 hours and 20
minutes. The train, which consisted
of 40 cars, each containing 6 Ford
automobiles, was more than a third
af a mile long and was handled on
practically passenger schedule.
The splendidly sound position of
the Canadian Pacific Railway is well
shown in the annual report for the
fiscal year ended December 31st,
1923, which has just been issued.
The gross earnings of the Company
for the year were $195,837,089.61,
the working expenses $158,358,-
079.54, and the net eaeniegs, $37,-
479,010.07.
A large party of Scottish farm-
ers, ploughmen, farm workers and
their families, is expected to arrive
at Montreal in June. The party,
which will sail on the Canadian
Pacific steamer "Marburn," will be
conducted by the Scottish repre-
sentative of the Canadian Pacific
Department of Colonization and De-
velopment.
Alberta has maintained an aver-
age yield of spring wheat of 193/4,
bushels per acre over a period of
twenty-six years, according to a
chart prepared by the Department
of Agriculture. In addition, winter
wheat has averaged over the same
period 20.19 bushels*1 oats, 85.79
bushels; barley, 26.10bushels; rye,
18.84 bushels and flax, 8.71 bushels.
A feature of the annual banquet
and convention of the officials of
the Canadian Pacific Railway, which
were held at Quebec on Match 22nd,
was the representation, in the ban-
quetting hall, of a full-sized loco-
motive of the latest type emerging
from a tunnel. Bailt of wood at
Angus Shops, Montreal, it was in
all respects perfect. At a pre-.
arranged moment, it emitted steam
and smoke, the bell rang and the
whistle blew, while the headlight be-
came a moving picture projector.
Indications of a great season in
immigration are seen by Canadian
Pacific officials in the arrival at
St. John, N.B., during the week -end
of March 29-30, of 2,441 third-class
passengers, aboard the Company's
T
steamers tMo.ntcalm and Metagama.he Montealm had on board 1,584
of these passengers, which consti-
tutes a record for the season.
Out of a total production of
10,730,150 pounds of creamery but-
ter in.1923, Manitoba exported
3,863,264 pounds, valued at $1,513,-
169: Shipments were made to Great
Pritain, New York, Chicago and,
Montreal. In additepn, about 200,-
000 pounds of butter fat were ship-
ped to the United States.
In a speech to the higher -officers
of the Canadian Pacific Railway on
the occasion of the recent coven-
tion- at Quebec, Mr. E. W. Beatty, -
President, pointed out that 50 per
cent. of the company's stock is held
in Great Britain, 21 per cent. in
Canada and 20 per cent. in the
United States. It is, therefore; .a
corporation absolutely controlled
within the 'British Empire and, he
• added, that control is being appre-
• ciably strengthened as the years
go on.

(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture. Toronto.)
A horse should not be given more
feed than he will consume in one
hour and a half or two hours. It la
a wasteful and harmful practice to
keep nay before horses all the time.
The horse should have sufficient to
satisfy hunger, and, if his teeth are
in good condition, two hours of un-
disturbed feeding morning and night,
with an hour and a half at noon, will
put as much food into his stomach
and intestine as these organs can pro-
perly take care of.
Mastication a Slow Process With
Horses.
—,Masticatiou in the horse is a slow
process. It takes fifteen to twenty
minutes to properly chew and swal-
low a pound of hay, and from five to
ten minutes with a pound. of oats,
The salivary secretion during feeding
with an average horse ranges from
8% to 101 pints per hour. This
secretion makes it possible for the
horse to properly masticate and swel-
low. the food, each pound of hay ullX.-
•ing with four times its bulk of sariva
and each pound of oats with au equal
weight. After masticatiou, the hu‘ui
of food passes to the stomach and hes
in the lesser curvature until there is
sufficient accumulation to distend taw
organ and press the material to ewe
greater curvature, where gastree
juice begins to act on it.
Work of Digestion Described.
As the stomach distends througu
food being pressed, in, the iugeeete.
(food on which the gastric juicetire
acting) is forced out through rue
pylorus Into the intestines, where lila
gastric juices have full apporaunixy.
of acting. if the quantity fed is wt
more than what the horse can eat. in
two hours, the stomach and intestines
can accommodate it for full and pre -
per digestion. If the quantity of nay
and oats is suclias to keep the horse
eating continuously (most horses are
gluttons), feed will be forced thromen
the stomach and intestines too quiver-
ly to permit of proper and full satur-
ation with gastric juice, hence the
wasteful practice of having hay be-
fore the horse all the time when ue
Is standing in the stable. There is
no absorption from the stomach oe
the horse, this function being per-
formed by the intestines. Under nor-
mal cdnditions and rational feeding
'the food remains in the horse's
stomach long encugh for the gastric
juices to convert 40 to 50% of the
carbohydrates into sugar, and from
40 to aa% of the proteins into pep-
tones, Overeating, which causes
overloading of stomach. and duode-
num, is just about as sensible as
tanking the threshing machine and
causing general waste, sending the
grain out with the straw,
()ats and Llay Do Not Mix in the
Stomach.
if a horse is fed on oats and hay
in succession, the stomach will, on
examination, be found to contain
these substances unmixed and ar-
ranged in strata, the first food taken
being in the pylorus and the last tu
the lesser curvature. The, contents
cf a horse's stomach are squeezed
and pressed, but not churned, as is
the case with cattle.
The regular arrangement of food
in .a.yers is disturbed when a horse
waiered after feeding. A portion
of the food may be washed out of the
zirtch. The water which a horse
drinks does not stop in the stomach
but passes directly through it on its
way to the caecum. For this reason
It is advisable to water first and feed
afterwards.—L. Stevenson, Dept. et
ilxtension, 0. A. College, Guelph.
Feed Grain Early to Skimmilk Carves.
At the time calves are changed
from whole to skimmilk they are
ready to begin eating small amounts.
of grain, which should be placed be-
fore them in small feeding boxes. Or
if they are tied in stanchions for
milk feeding, the grain can be put.
in the manger before they are re-
leased.Just a very small handful
is all the calf will take at drat, and
only as much should be fed as the
anirnal will clean up.
Ground corn is very palatable, and
it can be fed alone or in combination
with other grains, •such aeaground
pats, bran, and some oil meal. it
sometimes • helps to get the calf
'itarted on grain by putting a small
amount on its tongue and naueele
when the empty milka pail is taken
awayae•Thisalso puts'. stop to suck-
ing theieterseof the calf itiathe next
tie. After the young animal's appe-
tite for grain has increased, the corn
end oats ean be fed whole -but many
feeders continue to let them have
ground grain.
A good grain mixture to feed to
growing calves is Made up of
pounds of ground corn, 300 pounds
ground or whole oats, and 100
pounds lindseed oil meal.
Hay can also be placed before the
calves at this time in a small rack. .
Clover hay, Mixed clover and timothy,
or alfalfa 'hay not too leafy, are as
satisfactory.
An early. start in grain and hay
ensures the proper development of
the digestive organs of the young ani-
mal, and assists in promoting vigor-
ous growth.
