AND WINTER SPORTS PROGRAM
With seasonable weather prevail-
ing and a nice blanket a now on the
ground, winter sport season in Que-
bec City is new well under way. The
snow -wreathed beauty and exhilara-
tion of a winter vacation are a grew-
ing need. Winter sports are quirk
and effective restoratives, bringing'
to you the enjoyments of glowing
youth. Up M the spruce country,
where amidst the color, mirth ana
hospitality .of old Quebec, the truc.
winter carnival spirit is to be found.
. The recent fire at the Canadian
Pacific's famous hotel—the "Chateau
Frontenac" has caused no interimp-
tion in the social activities—there be-
ing ample accomodations and public
rooms for guests—nor in the winter
sports program arranged by the
Sports Director of Chateau Frost -
tonne and .the Frontenac Winter
Sports Club. Organized activities
and interesting events daily, includes
skating, snow -shoeing, hockey, eki-
inge.Mardi Gras Carnival, etc.. Vari-
colored costumes present a brilliant
spectacle. The season terminates
with the 41011 championship bob Simi
races February 27th.

Over a Mea m Head of Stock Pass
Through Lae Yards In a Tear --
Quality il,ciignized.
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
The production of live etock is one
or the most important industries
within the Province with an invest-
ment of between $250,000,000 and
e00,0 0,0 00. Although there is a
fluctuation from year to year the
general trend has been a gradual in-
creese, until the live stock population
of Ontario in 1923 reached 1,265,965
witch cows, 1,572,122 other Cattle;
307,673 sheep, and 1,7 34,734 swine.
From th,s number it is estimated
that 84S,302 cattle, 6t2,111 eheep
and lambs, 1,9 99,464 [swine have
been slaughtered and processed for
consumption in addition to animals
exported. Of these, the inepected
Packing plants of the province han-
dled 368444 eattle and calves, 1 93,-
7 3 6 lambs and sheep and 1,249,263
swine. The balance must have been
slaughtered by the local butcher and
by the producer. The figures do not
substantiate the impression that the
one-time main outlet for our live
ztocit, the loeal buicher, is a present
day minor agency. However, the
large packing houeee are making in-
roads into his business, and he is
gradually derreaving in numbers un-
til only the more valet:tint will exist.
Preference for Quality.
If the quality or our live stock to
maintained and improved it has great
possibilities of expansion. With a
growing population there will be an
increasing detnand for meat and meat
products. With the British embargo
lifted the export outlet will consume
greater proportione than formerly
and relieve the congestion on our
markets of the surplus. With those
possileilities cun01.0011)1e 118, it neces-
sitates the buildiere up of a suitable
marketing system that will function
efficiently and etonennically. Effi-
cient hale:UM/111g Ineans that the
preference for quality ofconsumers

flected back ta the, produeer. be the
form of enhaneed prices for that
quality for which the consumer pee's

This is by no means the first time
that a judge or a magistrate has
tackled a similar or even a harder
job. Judges are very conscientious,
and sometimee, when evidence has
been coufficting, when evidence has
decided that the ortly thing to do
was to get first-hand knowledge of
the work involved,
Some time ago a young tramp 30110
had been admitted into Lambeth
Workhouse refused to break the ten
hundredweight of stones he was re-
quired to crack. He declared the
task was an impossible one, but the
workhouse master said it was quite
01011.
The offender came up at Lambeth
Police Court, and the result was that
the magistrate, the Ron. ,John de
Grey, visited the stone yard of the
vvorkhouse, announcing that he in-
tended to see for himself what the
task was like.
He was provided with a hammer
and a pair of spectacles to gave his
eyes, and sot to work. For half an
hour he pounded stones, then ad-
mitted that he had enough.
A. sotnewhat similar experiment
was tried to the presiding magistrate
at Lewes Polite Court. A workhouse
inmate. charged with refusing to
pick oakum, said that the oakum
was too teugh fer anyone to pick,
and asked the ran.gistrate if he might
submit a sample. The latter skreod,
mit aft,sr ti. shall stromrlo gave it up.

British Postal Rates.
A comparatively small proportion
of the public using the mails have
realized that the postal rates to Great
Britain have been increased to four
cents for each ounce additional, and
have continued in the former practiee
of placing three -cent. damps on let-
ters going overseas: Postal officials
state that in each overseas mail there
were 1,565 letters so stamped. The
, addressees of letters bearing ineuffi-
1 (dent postage are required to, pay
double the deficiency, it is pointed
out, in whiah basis the persons to
whom the 1,565 letters Wen address-
ed would be required to pay a totai
of $31.30. The public is urged to
obseeve the higaner rates recently put
• in foree and thereby eliminate !he
incontenience inadvertently caused
