The Daily Herd in August
August is the hardest month of the
ar for the Dairy herds., "If milk
eduction can be maintained during
lis month .little concern need be felt
out maintenance of the milk flow
ring the balance of the season,"
Glares the authority who has de-
loped several high record eows. For
eeting the difficulties of this trying
onth, he suggests; Control of flies,
btection from the hot sun, ample
pply of cool water, and the use of
succulent to supplement dried -out
sturage. The first of these three
easures can bebest secured by the
e of suitable spray. The second
ay be provided) by shade trees in
e pasture under which the cows
aY fee'd and rest out of the sun. A-
ther method is to stable the cows
ing the day and let them pasture
night. Shading and screening the
'ndews provides added coolness in
e barn and also helps to control the
es. For the third, a eueculent roug-
ge maybe fed as a supplement to
sturage. Ensialgie or corn give
17 good results.

Sow Thistle Spreading
That the perennial sow thistle,
recognized as the world's worst
weed, is spreading at an alartxiing
rate in some parts of Ontario is the
statement of A. R. G. Smith' of New
Hamburg, who as district weed in-
spector for Western Ontario, ad-
vises farmers to he on their guard.
Mir. Smith reports that many fields
sown to spring grain in districts
where the weed was hitherto com-
paratidely unknown are' at present
a source of worry to farmers. 730
paints 'out: "If a perennial sow
thistle plant comes to bloom it will
mature- its seeds unless the plant
is burned. Farmers should not
thresh their grain outside because
the blooms will spread over adjoin-
ing areas, each seed having a 'para-
chute bloom' which will carry for
miles and stay up in the air for
many hours." He advises farmers
to cultivate after harvest on fields
that are not seeded down. It is im-
portant to keep sow thistle from
blooming or going to seed wher-
ever possible. More than 850 weed
inspectors are now at work in On-
tario and every fernier should
make a point to report the presence
of this weed to the nearest represen-
tative.
Canada to The Fore
The fourth World's Poultry Corn,
gross, which has been in. session at
the Crystal Palace, London, Eng.,
holds a special interest for Canad-
ians, particularly poultryntien. This
country's participation takes the
Mem of a national exhibit, a live
stock exhibit, if commercial ebt-
hibit, and a substantial contribution
from Canadians in the form of sci-
entific papers read at the Congress.
The keynote of Canada's National
Exhibit is the economic worth of
Canadian poultry breeding stock.
This is graphically presented in a,
novel and impressive exhibit which
is in every sense a masterpiece of
exhibition art.
Mr. Fred C. Elford, Dominion Poul-
try Husbandman, is president of the
gathering and had much to do with
the arrangements.
Better Bull Areas
At the close of last year the fol-
lowing counties had, by bylaw of
the county council, proclaimed them-
selves Better Bull Areas: Bruce,
Perth, Oxford, WeIIington ande Peel.
In order that this bylaw may be pas-
sed it is necessary that at least
eighty per cent of the bulls main-
tained within the county are pure-
bred. The work has been slow but
the. events accruing are" such -that
public sentiment is behind the move-
ment.

oder; Butter Imports in June, Heavy
ern- Imports 'of butter into Canada dur-
ing June totalled 2,855,415 lbs val-
ges ued at -$771,859. This was a de -
t crease from May' when 2,962,367 lbs.
te- with a value of $904,749 were im-
ported, according'ta a return issued
by the Dominion; Bureau of Statis-
tics. Of the former amount 2,852,-
1529 lbs. carne from New Zealand,
the in sport value 'being "$770,623.
'For the 12 month period ending
June 30th, Canada imported 44,859,
060 lbs. of butter valued at $15,038,-
294 as con1pared with 28,724,129 lbs.
worth $10,198,767 for the corres-
ponding ,period ending June 80.
Imports ef eggs in the shell ,cia-
clined in June to 7,194 dozen valued
at $2,700 as compared with 68,054
dozen valued at $19,466 in May. For
the 12 month period under review
the total imports .were 2,911,734 dos -
en, valued at $961,488 as tempered
with 1,108,863 dozen valued at $888,-
755 a year ago.
Cheese imports in June were 164,-
854 lbs. worth $39,874. compared with
253,397 lbs. in May valued at $70,-
355. For the 12 month period, end-
ing ,lune 30, Canada imported cheese
to the value of 2,109,750 lbs. worth
$618495 a slight increase from 2,-
053,382 lbs. valued at $613,473 for
the coresponding period of, a year
ago.
As a preliminary step to take the
slack out of unemployment, it is Imo-
bable that, in cooperation with the
provinces a considerable program of
public works will be authorized. In
fact, as soon as Mr. Bennett's Gov-
ernneent is organized and accepts of
fice, it is expectedannouncement.•
Will be made that -money will be ap-
propriated by (Governor -General's
warrant to assist the provinces and
municipalities, as was done in 1921
and 1922. At _that time the Gov-
ernment provided close to two mil-
lion dollars to aid the unemployed.
Even an extensive program of pub
lic works, however, can only be a
temporary palliativei--a sort of a
lifting of the country by its own boot-
straps. The permanent remedy es-
poused by Mr. Bennett is the up-
building of industry within the eoun-
try through, bre manufacture of our
raw materials for the World in Cam•.
ada and through the manufacture
here o£ 'hundeeds of millions of dol-
lars worth of goods now imported,..
Where manufactured goods cann
be economically produced in Caned
it is Me. Bennett's creed that
should buy them from nations whi
are ready to grant Canada trad
advantages for our wheat and other
produce. ' t tr
All this wilt involve a very moat
erial realigment of tariffs. .As "a
first step the countervailing duties
enacted last session will be repealed.
The British preference will be sub-
ject to revision. Items under that
heading which effect Canadian in-
dustry—like woollens :wild be alter-
ed, while others will be made more
effective through a heightening of
the general tariff to a degree that
will assure "the transfer of our pur-
chases to British sources.
These latter changes, of course,
are linked with 141. Beimett's insis-
tence that preferences must be mut-
ually advantageous. What conces-
sions he will be able to secure from
Britain, for. Canadian foodstuffs is
a matter of conjecture. For. a cen-
tury
Britons have resolutely opposed
any taxation of foodstuffs. In the
last year there have been evidences
of a change in that attitude. Bew
far it can be carried will perhaps de-
pend on Mir. Bennett's success in con -
educing the people of Britain that
the industrial benefits he offers them
will mere than compensate for any
(crease in the cost of living.

we Women Outnumber Men as
oli Passengers
e A few weeks ago one of the big
railway systems of Canada furnish-
ed a two weeks check on the sex of
passengers in the height of summer:
travel and it was found that eighty
per cent of the travellers in the
summer are women and twenty per
cent men. This disparity does not
exist all the year round. A similar
cheek taken in Hie winter discloses
that there is practically an even
break between the number of fe-
male and male travellers:
Cabinet Forming Difficult Task;
Lots of Material
The business of dressing up his
first cabinet has been the chief con-
cern of lion. It, B. Bennett since
early on the morning following elec-
tion.
The Premier -Elect is a man of
boundless industry and amazing ca-
pacity for rapid work. Before nine
o'clock on July 29 he was at his
desk and though Ile was interrupted
by the reception of thousands of mes-
sages of congratulation his secretar-
ial staff was busy into the late
hours of the night. It has been so
every day and night since. In fact
ever since Mr. Bennett has been'
leader of the Conservative Party it
has almost been possible to tell the
time by his arrival at his office--,
nine o'clock.
,He is keeping his own counsel on
his Cabinet construction, Hon. B.
B. Rychman, Ron. J. D. Chaplin„
Zion. It. J. Manion, Sir George Per -
ley and Hon. Hugh Guthrie are cab-
inet certainties if they will accept.
Senator. Gideon Robertson has the
refusal of the portfolio of Labor. Of
other former Conservative Cabinet
Ministers Hon. W. A, Black. of Hali-
fax is over 80 and has no desire for
office. W. G. Ernst ef Ltmenburg is
promising material but he Would be
one of the youngest cabinet minis-
ters if appointed. Still in his early
thirties heis a brilliant debater and
a charming personality as well as a
shrewd Lawyer.
Hon. Robert Rogers '. is satisfied
with• his victory in South Winnipeg
and does not aspire to a cabinet
position. Hon. harry Stevens, de-
feated ie Vancouver, may find an-
other British. Columbia seat and en-
ter the cabinet: If he does so it
will he at the express request of 11fr.
Bennett, for 1r. Stevens is areas
to retire to private life. The same
may be. said for. General A. D. Mc-
Rae, defeated in North 'Vancouver.
It was General McRae who was res-
ponsible for the organization work
of the party, leaving his 'own seat to
take eare of itself. Ire undoubtedly
can have any appointment he desires
but he is not ambitious and if he
relenters public life it will, be to
meet the wishes of the Premier in
whose election he was so 'instrumen-
tel.
The portfolio of Agriculture will
probably go to Earl Rowe of Duf-
forin, though .the qualifar<ations of
Robert Weir, another practical farm-;
er who wrested Mellott, Sask., from
the Liberals, . are outstanding. The,

choose from and it is not impossible
that he will take steps tobring in;

Fascinating Links in Canada's
History
"One flag, one fleet, one throne"
1s a sentence ertih meaning in it for
true Canadians. The flag in itself
is meaningless, but what it stands
for is deep and interpreted only by
a man true to his - country. The flag
meant a great deal to the men in the
trenches in the Great War and the
Dominion Archives has in cases
flags which would recall various ex-
periences to the veteran of 1914-18.
Worn and stained is one British
flag which is a cherished possession
of the ,Archives. On it is ,this cap-
tion: "This flag was made by the
Citizens of Valenciennes to welcome
the Canadians." It was the first
British flag put up and was hung in
the city hall with the French flag.
It was used' at, !the reception of II. R.
H. the Prince of Wales, Generals
Currie and Watson, the 415 Cana-
dian Division who took the cit'.
,Another Canadian flag which is
tattered . and shows marks of shells
has this description :accompanying
it: "This flag was carried by Lt. J.
L. ',Carter, 1st Canadian Pioneers,
through the Great War and was
twice buried with him."
"This flag was limn from the
Hotel de Ville, Mone, Nev. 11th,
1918, and was carried by the Cana-
dian troops into Germany" M the
Proud caption which accompanies
another flag in `the same case.
IA Canadian flag which did not
conte through the Great War .but is
also 'closely woven into adventure is
one wherh was carried with the Can-
adian Arctic expedition of 1918-18 by So
Dr. Rudolph M!. Anderson, Chief
uthern party.
