England since March, 1927, was made
from Montreal recently and consisted
of 300 head, It was merely a stray
consignment, however, and not to be
taken as the forerunner of resumed
shipments to the United- Kingdom.
There is every indication that the
movement to the United States will
continue for a considerable time, re-
sulting in very satisfactory profits to
Canadian breeders. With other pos-
sible export markets existing in the
United Kingdon and elsewhere the
Suture for those engaging in the Indus-
try may be considered bright, indeed.
"The cattle industry is consequently
on the upgrade 111 'Western Canada,
with a prospect of more stable con-
dltlone than have existed for some
time. Herds are being expanded and
others coming to engage in the indus-
try. Among other sections the Peace
River country is being favored and
gives increasing evidence of develop-
ment into a great cattle raising coun-
try. Cattle from this country recently
topped the market at Edmonton after
having been 135 miles on the trail
before being loaded on railway cars
to travel to the Alberta capital.
"A new phase of the cattle industry
which has been taking place at St.
John's, Quebec, should not pass with-
out notice, since it is possessed of
considerable significance. A targe
vegetable cannery there engaged in
the canning of peas and corn has as
a by -produce several thousand tons
of peavine and corn husks annually.
Since there are few livestock kept in
the surrounding country this material
was almost a total waste. Through
the action of the Development Branch.
Canadian Pacific Railway, the cannery
was placed in touch with a Western
company engaged in fattening beef
cattle and arrangements made for the
erection of a feeding plant and the
transfer of Western cattle to be fat-
tened there for the Eastern et' export
markets.
"The plant was erected and 500
head of cattle moved and fed upon
the peavine and corn husks with the
greatest success. In the average of ternationnl camps.
fifty days of feeding the average gain 'The first camp,, designed especially
per animal was forty-eight pounds, an for boys of Northern Europe, will be
average per animal of about a pound
per day, The Western company has
a ten-year contract for the by-products
of the plant and with full operation
being possible this year it is expected
to fatten and market 1,000 head, this
being continued in subsequent years.
"This pioneer development is im-
portant and significant from several
points of view, A large amount of
valuable material from being a total
waste is now being profitably utilized
and animals are being fattened close
to the great Eastern market, An
additional industry with Its attend-
ant advantages has been given to this
Quebec point and may set the example
for other similar establishments.
Among Eastern Canada's many vege-
table canneries there are probably
others where such intensive utilization
of by-products could be made. It per-
haps points the way to more economic
cal operation of the vegetable canning
industry just getting under way in
Alberta, with plants projected at Sid-
mentop, Medicine Hat and Magrath"
