to the annual report of the Work-
man's Compensation Board. The
payroll foe 1922 was el28,592,-

The 1924 season for the port of
Montreal Was officially opened on
the morning of the 18th of April,
when the Government ice -breaker
Lady Grey arrived in the harbor. A
big season ,is anticipated, especially
by the Canadian Pacific steamships,
whose vessels on the St. Lawrence
route this year will exceed197,000
;gross tons.
Vancouver this season has beaten
Portland, the great wheat port of
the Northwest and formerly the
great wheat port of the Pacific.
Portland includes flour in its wheat
totals, Vancouver does not. Accord-
ing to the Portland press the Amer-
ican city has moved over 29,000,000
'bushels of wheat to date. Vancou-
ver, in the same period, shipped 36,-
'�@@0,000 bushels, exclusive of a very
nsiderable quantity of flour.
The much prized Wilder silver
medal, the highest award of the
American Pomological Society, the
oldest horticultural body in North

on this occasion was given for the
Lobo apple, one of the many fine
-varieties of McIntosh Red parentage
originated at the Central Farm.
An estimate of $1,500,000 for fire
protection and management of for

taken this year and in this connec-

An appeal for increased pensions
for the originals of the old Royal
North-West Mounted Police is now
before the Federal Parliament. The
present pensions are based on the
pay standards of 20 to 30 years ago
.and are therefore quite inadequate,
the appeal claims, and it is asked
that they be raised to the same level
.as those granted members of the
present Royal Canadian Mounted
Police, on retirement.
"There is not a single geological
reason why each and all of the
world-famous mining camps, such as
those of Kirkland Lake, Porcupine
.and Sudbury, should not be dupli-
cated almost anywhere in the 650,-
000 square miles of the Quebec Lau-
rentian Plateau, which stretches
erem the Ottawa and St. Lawrence
.overs to Hudson Strait," according
to a statement made by T. C. Denis,
Superintendent of Mines of the
Province of Quebec, at a recent
meeting of the Quebec branch of the
'Mining Institute of Canada.
Canada is financially sound. On
April 14th the investors and savings
:account holders of the country were
offered twelve million dollars worth
of Canadian Pacific Railway five
per cent bonds and by four o'clock
*that afternoon the issue had been
over -subscribed and the books were
closed. Telegraph oilers came from
all parts of the Dominion, a splen-
did evidence of the amount of money
.available for sound investment and.
-the country's confidence in the fu-
ture of the big railway. Another
evidence is seen in the fact that
email investors are putting savings
into C.P.R. common stock which
pays ten per cent on par value of
$100,000,. Since 1907, Canadian
holdings of this stock have increased
• nn 9.75 per cent to 21 per cent

A Mach Too Common Trouble
With Cattle To -day.
Care Needed in Purchasing Cows.—
Isolate
ows.-•Isolate and Treat Infected Animals
—The Horse With Fever Potato
Disease Investigation.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture; Toronto.)
• After an exhaustive study of the
causes and treatment of infectious
abortion of cattle, Dr. C. D. McGi1-
vray, Principal Ont. Vet. College,
Guelph, has come to the following
conclusions:
1. In purchasing breeding cattle,
make careful enquiries to ascertain
if the heed from which they are being
obtained is free from abortion
disease.
2. If doubt exists as to their free-
dom from this disease, have all newly
obtained pregnant females tested or
keep them under observation until
they calve.
3. Cows should be placed in ma-
ternity stalls to calve.
4. Whenever a cow aborts keep
her isolated until she cleans.
5. Thoroughly clean and disin-
fect the stalls in the stable. Tb,:
bedding and litter removed from the
steels should `be burned, together
with the aborted fetus and the after
Birth.
6. Wash the hind parts of all th •
exposed pregnant cows with an anti
septic, solution.
7. Cleanse the genital passage c.
the aborting animal in all cases of
retained afterbirth. Irrigate th.
womb with a mild warm antisep.:,
solution or a saline solution, Mae:
use of uterine antiseptic capsules.
8. Do not allow cows with re
tabled afterbirth to remain ni stain
adjacent to other pregnant fema,ee
9. Keep aborting cows segregate.
from the others so long as they aye
discharging. Wash their hind part
before allowing them to return cv
the herd.
10. Allow a period of one mond,
to elapse before returning aborter.
cows to the bull. Wash the buil
sheath after service of aborting coy;...
11. Do not allow the bull to serv•
cows which have a discharge fro.
the vulva,. Serve all cows on. neutra.
ground.
12. In affected herds obtain the au
-
-gee of a qualified veterinarian as to
the use of vaccines combined with
sanitary measures,
13. In badly affected herds best re-
sults are obtained from the use el
a live culture vaccine administered t
the nonpregnant females two month:
before breeding.
14. In the case of valuable covra
becoming barren, the services of e.
skilled veterinarian should be ob-
tained for the purpose of treating
the womb and ovaries.
15. If calves become affected wits
white scours, immediately separat.
the sick ones from the healthy. Con-
sult a veterinarian regarding the us.
of calf scours serum in conjunctioe
with sanitary measures.
16. Nutritious deficiencies shoul;:
be corrected as far as possible by sup-
plying mineral elements in the feed.
THE HORSE WITH FEVER.
Drenching May Cause Foundering or
Death -- Medicine and General
Treatment Recommended.
Many good horses die every winter,
eesed by well meaning people' whs
• i.ot know. On many farms if aa
—mai shows any symptoms of ii.
wealth the first thine done is to give
.c -ie sic drench or ball. If it is a
cos;, sheep or pig, an unnecessa,,
r.i7'sic is not likely to do any ha; m,
.,at with the horse it is different.
rurge a horse when there is free.
✓ essnt and you will in all probau.a:-
Ly kill him. If you do not succeeu
in killing him, he will likely be
Greatly handicapped for the rest of
life by founder. Never physic a
e ;r•se that has a fever. Use mild lax-
ative only.
Fevers come on suddenly.. Severe
cases show coldness of the extremi-
ties, surface of the body, nose and
ears, shivering, breathing increases In
frequency. Time to call a qualified
veterinary if there is one to be had.
IY not, the following treatment is
suggested: Blanket the horse" well
and put him in a warm, comfortac_e
stable, and give two ounces of the fo,-
lowing every fifteen minutes; or until
the horse begins eo sweat: Aconite,
une drachm; Spirits of wine; tour
ounces; water to make a pint. Wito
sweating started give, the follow a,,
fever mixture at the rate of two
ounces every two hours.
Fluid Extract Aconite -1 drachm
Belladonna -2 drachm
' " Gentian —1 ounce
Potassium Nitrate , . —1% ounces
' Water to make 1 pint.
Keep a bucket of clean water in
,,which ;' small quantity of potassium
nitratt .s been dissolved in front
of the u,,rse at all times. Feed soft
feeds, as boiled oats . and bran. 'Do
ndt move the, horse out of the stable
until the temperature has been nor-
mal for at least 48 hours.—L. Steven-

In Unhurried Quebec
•
Old fashioned Quebec' tags at the heartstrings of
the summer visitor, because her appeal is personal.
Without intention, so to do, she has struck . what the
advertising men work so hard to acquire... the human
interest angle.
Quebec is natural, simple, lovable. In our race for a
living we of the cities have reduced' life to a- system
with every action in subordination to hours. and minutes.
But in Quebec the habitant: rises above the leash.
He has something in himself which holds him to old
ways. To family life, to the farm, to the horse and
hand -plough; to the scythe, to cows. Wives and Baugh-
tersand boys of all ages lend a handat everything. All
the dhanges of the seasons fit in to the scheme of life.
And yet there sews to be no particular scheme, no
hurry, none of that driven feeling. No friction.
And sdwhen we get into Quebec we are sensible of a
freedom of spirit. The shackles of "the drive" fall
away as we come once more under the benison of the
simple and the fundamental.
Here by the road are the wayside Crosses common in
Old France and once in Old. England. The Mower is
abroad in the fields. The: dogs drawing their little
carts still hold the road.
And nothing is more humanly appealing than these
dog carts of the Quebec highway. The "Dog of Flan-
ders" has won his way to publicity on the screen, but
these ""chiens" of 'Quebec have, had no Jackie Cooganto
da them justice:.'
And yet what a'part they playin the life of
Province,f ,;. tHowt he
far s larger in extent;, than' Flanders. How the
dogs fifl niehesein the households, jobs long . ago ;,Qum
inated from our.,scheirie of" life, are performed, by: to
dog carts' as a' matter of course, in Quebec. Boys ; of
the family break their hand in from babyhood, harness
Ing, unharnessinng, driving "le chien." ' The boy that as
con as he is big enough will have the horses in hand.
"Deep meaning oft lies hid in childish play" down in
Quebec. ,
And yet the dog cart is not merely a means toward
an end. As farm life is arranged in Quebec, the dog
cart is. no mere child's toy, but part and parcel of French
thrift.
Boy's sent an errand cover the miles in the dog cart.
Wood to be brought from the distant woodlot on the
mountainside is loaded into the little cart. With the
aid of these "tiny horses and carts" small boys do this
work quite easily, releasing their fathers and big
brothers to men's jobs at the plough or with the heavy
scythe. '
Textile work,eis in the big mill below Montmorency
Falls, living in Seine Gregoire and other villages nearby,..
have their dinher-palls brought to them by their small
boys in dog carts, and if you happen, along this road at
dinner -time it is to see perhaps as many as thirty er
forty of these little chariots.
The speed attained of the dog is surprising, especially
when homeward bound. • Then, little M'sieu can hardly
hold him in.
But you must not think 'tis only youth that these gay
dogs of Quebec serve, their tails wagging, flying along
with the baby in the cart and the family broodof boys
and girls running helterr'skelter gathering framboise in
their pails. - „What would the old... the oldcouples, the
old women, do without their old dog and leis • little cart?
But, I think perhaps one never realizes more, how
mately a••part of every day life the dog; cart is, until you
1 ppeu along by some wayside smithy and see the smith
hard at work turning, twistine heating, hammering the
miniature axles. and tires in the most matter of fact
