Night and Sunday calls answered at residence over store, - 28 Phone ll 28 PATRIOTISMPRODUCTION Pin Your Faith to Live Stock The one outstanding feature of the world's farming is that there will soon be a great shortage of meat supplies. Save your breeding stock. They are today Canada's most valuable asset. If you sacrifice your breeding stock now, you will regret it in the near future. Plan to increase your live stock. Europe and the United States, as well as Canada, will pay higher prices for beef, mutton, and bacon, in the very near future. Remember that live stock is the only true basis of economic and profitable farming. The more grain you grow, the more stock you can carry. The more stock you keep, the more fertilizer for your fields. Mixed farming is real farming, not speculating. Study this table, which was prepared before the war. Only one country increased its cattle more than its people in the past ten years. And, in it (Australia) in 1914 there was a tremendous loss of live stock through an un- precedented drought -a fact which the table does not show, Do you need any stronger argument than this table that there is bound to be an increasing demand for beef? Add to this con- **** BEEF dition, the destruction of live stock of all kinds, breeding and young stock includ- ed, in the war zones. The war. has merely hastened the meat shortage of the world. When it is over, the farmer with live stock will continue to profit in the world's markets, and, in addition to having helped feed our soldiersat the front, will be in a position to rap a further reward for having stayed with the live stock industry.

SHEEP. Canadian farmers have been losing great opportunities in sheep raising and sheep feeding. Hundreds of thousands of sheep have been slaughtered to pro- vide winter clothing for the soldiers of the different armies. Australia's losses, through drought in 1914, were very heavy. Canada has been im- porting frozen mutton from New Zealand, In view of these conditions, wool and mutton should prove very profitable for Canadian sheep raisers during the next few years. SWINE. Through the indis- criminate sale of , swine in the Canadian West in the past three months, the supply in 1915 promises to be little more than half of 1914. Add to this the fact that the British soldier is allowed % lb. of bacon per day, and that sausage is the principal meat food of the German soldier, and you will understand the outlook for the future. Those who stay steadily with swine, year in and year out, make money. Those who rush in and rush out, generally lose money. "Buy when o;'•ters are selling, sell when others are buying," applies to live stock as well as to Wall Street stocks. DAIRY. Milch cows in - ,creased in Canada from 2,408,677 in 1901 to 2,594,179 in 1911. This in- crease did not amount to 8% and was less than one-quarter of the populati:,n increase of Canada. At the same time, the per capita : onsumption of milk by Cana.ians increased 30%. Is there my wonder we had to import 7,000,000 lbs. of butter from New Zealand? The exports of Canadian cheese have been steadily de- clining for ten years. Look at the market prices today. Do they not suggest the advantage of increased production? Through coy, 'osting, selec- tion and better :ceding, the ***4c average annual production per cow in Canada did increase from 2,860 lbs. per cow in 1901 to 3,805 lbs. in 1911, but this is only a beginning. Last year one cow in Canada produced 26,000 lbs. The dairymen of Denmark who supply Great Britain with butter and bacon are not satis- fied unless their herds average 10,000 lbs. per cow. Let Can- adian dairymen work to increase the productiveness of the milch cow. Breed for milk. Test your cows. Save your calves. Select your milkers. Feed for yield. Read the Agricultural papers and Government reports and bulletins on dairying. CONFERENCES Now that you have attended the Conferences, or have read about them, get together and talk things over. Also write to the Publications Branch, Canadian Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa, for bulletins and reports on live stock and dairying.
