Dairy Production in Ontario Production of creamery butter in Ontario showed a slight increase, both during the month of April and for the first four tncnttins of 1940 over the corresponding periods of last year, while cheese production, for the same comparisons, showed very large gains, says the monthly dairy re- port of the Ontario department of agriculture. The output of creamery butter in April is 2,6 per cent higher than the same month last year. In the case of cheese the April make this season is reported at 66.5 per cent greater than in April 1939. The value of exports of butter, cheese, and manufactured milli pro- ducts from Canada to all countries during the 5sc0 year ending March 31, 1940, was approximately $1,100,- 000 1,100;000 greater than the exports in the preceding year. Shipments of cheese during March 1940 to the United Kingdom amounted to 4,917,400 lbs. as compared with 421,600 pounds in March 1939. Offsetting this improve- ment was a decrease in exports of butter which declined from 2,179,700 Pounds in March 1939, to 36,400 in March 1940. The price of butter at Toronto dar- ing April averaged 26.4 cents per pound wholesale,- as compared with 27.7 cents in the previous month, and 21.4 cents in April 1939. Butter prices remained fairly firm during the first half of April, but declined consider- ably in the following three weeks. Cheese also displayed wealuness..

Thee is an Inscription by Admiral Cockburn in the long -lost bun]:. There i5 071 interesting story iu its revoe- ery. It: tells of another link between the burning of the Parliament build- ing at York and the burning of the Capitol at Washington in the War of 1812. On his way to direct the firing of the American building, Admiral Cockburn must have passed through the President's room, There he spot- ted the tall folio volume bearing a leather label. on which in letters of gold was printed "President of the U. States." And, mindful of the parli- amentary mace which American sold- iers MT 's a sue ' d ' had carried a i eta when they burned the Parliament building at. York, tucked it under his arm in reprisal. In a friendy gesture. six years ago. the Congress of the United States re- turned the mace to Canada. A hun- dred and twenty-six years after it was annexed by the British admiral, the President's book goes back to be treasured by the famous Washington library, In itself the book is interesting. It is President Madison's account book, preserved, incidentally, in a fresh, clean and undamaged condition. Items from the accounts sliow that the, American navy of that day was about to be strengthened by the build- ing of six wooden ships of seventy- four guns each. A fund is set aside "for the relief Of =fortunate exiles from the Island of Cuba." Money is provided for the opening up of new lands in the south and west. And here is an item in which may be heard the first faint rumblings that' culminated in the frightful thunder of modern warfare: "One thousand dollars for trying the practical use of the torpedo for submarine explosion."
