Dairy Production
The total dairy production in Cal.
ada during 1924 allowed increases 1
keeping with the gradual upward
trend which has been in progress far
a number of years, From year to yea
there have been ,fluctuations in the
relative amounts of the different pro-
ducte manufactured, deo to variations
in market values of these commodities.,
but on the whole the steady imam -aft
has been Maintained. Naturally milk,
to a certain extent, goes into that Iine
of manufacturing most profitable to
producers.
A, preliminary import of cheese and
butter production during 1924 com-
piled ' by the Dairy and Cold Storage
Branch, Dominion Dept. of Agrleel-
ture, shows cheese production during
that yea;, to have been 150,245,1,31
pounds as compared with 161,624,376
pounds during 1028, a decrease of less
than one per pent, This slight falling
off was due to dec'reases in the prov-
inces of Quebec and Alberta, all the
other provinces showing increases.
With reference to ereamery butter,
the preliminary report shows the 1924
production to have been 182,161,347
pounds as eompared with 162,834,608
pounds la1923, an increase of 11.2
per cent. All theprovinces with the
exception of New Brunswick had in-
creased outputs. The greatest rate of
increase was in the Prairie Provinoes,
Saskatchewan. coming first with a 25
per cent; increase; Alberta second with
202 per cent., and Manitoba third
with 17.7 per cent. Nova Scotia had
15.3 per cent. rise and Quebec 10.7
per cent, No report is yet available
as to production of condensed and.
evaporated milk and milk powder.
During 1924 there was an increase
in the quantity of fresh milk and
cream exported as compared with
1923. In the last calendar year ex-
ports of fresh milk amounted to 2,-
896,279 gallons as compared ,with 2,-
132,765 gallons in the previous year.
Shipments of cream out of Canada
during 1924 totalled 3,2'38,822 gallons
as compared with 2,663,747 gallons in
1920. Exports of condensed and
evaporated milk during the calendar
year just closed were 40,250,600
pounds as against 41,002,200 pounds
in 1923, a decrease of 2.1 per cent.
Milk powder exports reached 7,264,947
pounds in 1924. as compared with 4,-

THE GO OF THE EGO.
The pouter pigeon puffs himself up
considerable before his lady love to
make an impression, but when she
isn't present he is his normal deflated
self.
So it is with man. There are many
human pouter pigeons whose ego 18
considerably inflated when an impres-
sion is to be made. But when the ego,
or the self, becomes deflated there is
nothing left. The strutters have to
put on a good front because there
usually is nothing back of the front.
Likewise we sometimes find publica-
tions that strut, that often refer to
the militant way in which they fight
for the good cause, and they take suf-
ficient credit unto themselves. But
really they are as would-be warrior's
who with pen and ink fight valiantly
for public attention, not for the cause,
