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,- 975,838 pounds in the previous year. 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, One shrewd business mats said that whenever he heard someone spouting about himself, he always discounted he person about fifty per cent.
