This has actually been done in quite a number of eases. On the other hand, the United States Government, starting much later, has had its hands full in training the first contingent of the draft numbering about 700,000 men, and the second draft will follow close. npon..the heels of, the first, Food Control Corner Those who are crying to the Gov- ernment to provide feed for hogs, and bitterly criticising officials for failure to supply sufficient bran and shorts; should take a look at the facts. Canada does not produce sufficient bran and shorts to feed hogs in nor- mal times and recourse to other feeds has always been necessary, • In the effort, however, to aid farmers, an export embargo was placed on mill, offal and the price of bran and shorts was fixed in fair proportion to the price of wheat and several dollars a ton lower than in the United States. This, of course, was satisfactory as far as it went but the trouble was that it could not possibly- go far en- ough. Not enough bran and shorts are produced in Canada to go around. Canadian mills from September 1st, 1916 to February 1st, 1918, ground- at the - rate of 18,000,000 bushels of wheat a month, ; which was a very high proportion as compared to normal. From this amount of reheat, however, under the new standard flour regulations, about two per cent. more of the wheat berry is retained in the flour. Only 120,- 000,000 bushels of feed can be pro- duced in a month, or 21,000,000 pounds a day.

Anyway, she mum allowance, ing confusion that followed, Monte • would probably leave Paris at once Nor is this all there is to the prob- lem. The question of distributing this feed to the farmers throughout Canada arises. It has been suggest- ed that farmers be allowed car -load lots. There are 714,046 farms in Canada. Giving each one its share would mean that each farm would get a ear -load once in twenty-four years. A car -load contains twenty-five tons and there are about eighty-four car- loads of bran and shorts produced in Canada per day. It takes a 100 barrel mill about fourteen days to produce a car -load of feed, Sixty per cent, of Canadian mills have no great- er capacity than 100 barrels a day or less, and could ship a car -load ito oftener than once a fortnight. Nevertheless, despite this difficulty and all difficulties, Canada will have fought his way to the door, using his for Etole, and so be out of reach of shoulders and a straight arm to clear 'Hamilton. a path.

Several tinges mention has been made of the presence of birds along the battle front in France.- The fol- lowing references to the same subject. from various sections of tate line have lately appeared in Current Items of Interest. The first is quoted from a • letter written by a member of the Can- adian Expeditionary Force who was.on the Firing Line in lielgiunr,'"It is Very strange how the birds stay round right up in the front line.
