THANKSGIVING
Hello Homemakers! Don't miss the
joy 'Of a real old-fashioned Thanks-
giving dinner even in these war
days. Not in any part of Europe, not
in Russia nor in the British Isles for
that matter can Thanksgiving be
celebrated this year. So every Can-
adian citizen should usher in this
Oki -dine harvest feast with a sincere
prayer of Thanksgiving for a free
country where the harvest is plenti-
ful; where wood and coal for winter
fires can still be had; where hearty
laughter of young and old can still
be heard; and where citizens may
worship on the Sabbath as they wish.
Thanksgiving Day may be kept in
the traditional way—with family ga-
therings—but don't forget to keep,
your home operf, too, to some of' the
lonely boys and girls in the war ser-
vices. You will get a •thrill from
.sharing your Thanksgiving dinner
and serving the good old turkey in all
bis glory to some of these young
folk.

States with supplies of beef cattle.
"The Dominion Department of Agri-

"The second step will be one to
place pork as soon as possible back in
full volume on the Canadian Market
without interfering with Bridal' sup-
plies, talus releasing beef for the Am-

lease beef from the American market
for Britain.-
"The third will be a program which
will encourage the feeding of beef
cattle until they are at least three
years old, and also an increase in
numbers of cattle turned into beef.
"It should be remembered that while
there are great economic advantages
in maintaining a direct connection be-

marketings, the economic advantages
in relation to cattle are lir, maintaining
our connections with the United
States. Any policy devised must both
in our own interests and that of the

LIQUID AIR
• The first liquid air was made by
Paul Cailletet of France in 1877.
Like all gases, air can be changed to
a liquid if it is cooled and compress-
ed enough. It cannot he liquefied,
however, by any pressure no matter
how great, until it is cooled to 312
degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
The manufacture of liquid air is
'commonly accomplished in three
stages. First it is compressed to near-
ly 100 pounds to the square inch,
after which it is cooled by expansion,
Second it is compressed under some
500 pounds pressure, and again ex-
panded to' cool. The third step brings
the pressure up to well over a ton
to the inch, after which there is a
final expanding and cooling.
A new process has been developed
which greatly reduces the amount of
compression required. In this
meth-
od the expanding air is made to run
a turbine, the work removing still
more energy from it and making the
cooling greater,
Air is a mixture of several gases,
including oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, argon, neon, etc. Each at
these gases has its own individual
boiling point. This is s one of the facts
that makes liquid air useful for these
valuable gases may be separated
from liquid air by distillation.
Oxygen obtained from, liquid air
may be used in oxy-acetylene torches
for cutting steel, and may be com-
pressed in tanks for use by airplane
pilots. Nitrogen from liquid air is
valuable in ammonia -making, fertil-
izer and explosives.
Argon and neon for gas-filled
lamps also may be obtained from
liquid air, Furthermore, because of
its intense cold, liquid air may be
used as a refrigerating agent to pro
duce exceedingly low temperatures
for laboratory experiments.
It is also possible to use liquid
air as an explosive. It has been esti-
mated that it exerts pressures dur-
ing evaporation of about five tons to
the square inch. A specially prepared
liquid air, known as "oxyliquit" is
claimed to have twice the power of

Program for Meat and
Dairy Production
-In a statement issued last month,
'Hon...Tames G. Gardiner, Minister of
Agriculture, outlined the basis of a
long time program for the production
of meat and dairy products to meet
the wartime demands of the' United
Nations.
The .Dominion Department of Agri-
culture has for two years been , at-
tempting to get feed supplies in East-
ern Canada up to a level where a long
time program of meat and dairy pro-
duction may be safely embarked upon.
During that period, of two years we
have encourage shipment' in as large
quantities as possible those commodi-
ties which!' Britain nees, eggs and
bacon. It has required the use of all
surpluses of feed and supplies of these
two products in Canada to make poss-
ible the shipment of sufficientaimounts
to Britain. Last year in order to secure
the supplies required it was. necessary L
to prevent the shipment' 01' feeds out
of Canada.
"The creating by artiflcial'means of
a shortage of supply -in cheese and
pork has resulted in a run on other
food products, particularly beef, until
there has developed a;temporary and
artificial shortage in beef in certain
urban centres.
"The particularly favorable weather,
assisted by the above , mentioned
policies has produced a record supply
of feed grain, fodder and pasture this
year. If farmers conserve the fodder
and feed grain grown this year it is
possible to enter upon a two year pro-
gram of production of meats which in l
from six to twelve months' time, de-
pending upon tine product concerned,
will result in being able to supply our
own people with reasonable supplies
of dairy products and meats of all
kinds and at the same time supply,
