Hog Quality Improves
A report prepared by the Sheep
and Swine Division of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture states:
"Hog grading statistics show an in-
crease of 41,759 select bacon hogs as
produced during the calendar year of
1931, Hogs as marketed throughout
the Dominion showed considerable
improvement over any previous year.
Not only, was there an increase in
the number of select baconhogs pro-
duced, but there was inaddition an
increase in bacon hogs and a lower
percentage of butchers. The butcher
grade, as graded, showed the refin-
ing influence of bacon breeding . in a
large percentage of hogs. The aver-
age weight of all hogs was approxi-
mately four pounds heavier than the
previous year. The percentage of
lights was reduced from 9.42 per cent
to 5.34 per cent. The percentage of
heavies and extra heavies . was only
3.49, showing that farmers' are mar-
keting the great majority of their
hogs' wtihin the desired weights."
Club Work Effective
Five points which receive special
attention in connection with Boys'
and Girls' Swine Club work in the
carrying out of which the federal and
provincial Departments of Agricul-
ture co-operate, are detailed as-'fol-
lows:-
1.
fol-lows:-
1. The location and distribution to
club members of young pigs of good
bacon type and breeding. Of these,
many of the best females are kept
over for breeding purposes.
2. The giving of practical instruc-
tion to club members at their homes
or through lectures at club meetings.
3. The distribution of printed or
mimeographed information regarding
the breeding, feeding, management,
judging and marketing of swine.
4. The arrangement and conduct of
judging and other forms of demon-
strations.
5. The securing of good bacon type
boars for club districts.
Dominion Seed Branch
The Dominion Seed Branch en-
courages the •production of superior
seeds for domestic requirements and
export; performs field inspection of
seed crops for registration, and for
certification as to purity of variety
and quality; grades all field seeds of-
fered for sale on the basis of control
samples or of official samples drawn
by inspectors; maintains laboratories
feeding
for the analysis is
y of seeds,
stuffs, fertilizers, binder twine, insec-
ticides; and fungicides; supplies mar-
kets information and develops the
marketing of these products, and of
hay and straw which are graded ' on
request; administers the Seeds Act,
Feeding Stuffs Act, Fertilizers Act,
Inspection and Sale Act, and Agri-
cultural Pests' Control Act. The
branch organization includes four
main divisions, and for the enforce-
ment of the Acts, Canada isdivided
into seven inspection districts, each
supported by a service laboratory.
A Remarkable 'Achievement
A statement recently issued by the
Sheep and Swine Division of the Do-
minion Department ` of Agriculture
with respect to Canada's bacon hog
industry observes;--
"When
bserves;-"When the complete hog grading
statistics for the year 1932 are added
up, it will be found that from our
total hog marketings of the year ov-
er 2,500,000 market hogs sold for
slaughter: under the Hog Grading
Regulations throughout the Domin-
ion will have graded as either select
bacon or bacon. The above figures
show a remarkable achievement for
,;he hog raisers of the Dominion. It
means that Canada, in a period of a
little over ten years, has revamped
her swine industry, creating as the
backbone of the industry an ample
supply of breeding stock of select
bacon type with feeding and produc-
tive qualities which place our best
hog raisers in the front rank for type,
quality and economic Production."

Canadian Barley (Production
According to Professor T. J. Har-
rison, of the Board of Grain Com-
missioners, barley production in Can-
ada is growing at a faster rate than
wheat, and during the past ten years
there has been an increase in volume
of 125 per cent. On a percentage
basis Manitoba produces about 40
per cent, of the total crop, Saskatch-
ewan 30 per `cent, Ontario 14 per
cent, Quebec 13 per cent.,and the
rest of Canada les sthan 4 per ;cent.
The latest available figures show the
barley cropis used as follows:

System Proves Efficient
The Restricted Areas system of
tuberculosis control is not only prov-
ing efficient but •stockmen appreciate
the many advantages of this plan of
control for tuberculosis. The cattle
inareas can be tested quickly and
economically. Reactors can be ship-
ped in car lots with greater returns
to the farmer. All herds are tested
so that breeding operations are facil-
itated. The services of valuable herd
sires can be used in herds of equal
health standing. A ready market is
established and buyers prefer to pur-
chase cattle in areas where tubercu-
lcsis-free cattle may be obtained
more quickly and at less travelling
cost.
During the past final year 117,742
cattle have been tested for the, first
time in new areas, and approximate-
ly 321,427 cattle have been retested
in areas previously established.—Do-
minion Department of Agriculture.
Not Proven Yet
As a means of protecting cattle
against tuberculosis, BCG vaccination
in our experience covering a period
of over seven years, has not proved
successful, states a report issued by
the Pathological Division of the fed-
eral Animal. Diseases Research Insti-
tute. Studies, observations, trials and
post-mortem examinations made up-
on a very large number of animals
indicate that cattle vaccinated as
calves in the manner and under the
conditions prescribed for this method
are little less liable to contract tub-
erculosis than unvaccinated cattle
when raised and maintained for sev-
eral years under similar conditions of
life, environment, cohabitation and
exposure to infection. Even though
resistance may be increased by the
vaccination, its degree and duration
has fallen short of the requirements
for efficient protection or of the,
claims advanced in that connection.
Trials are still continuing and the re-
sults accruing in the different groups
of cattle give little hope or promise
that this method of vaccination can
'be applied for the control of tuber-
culosis in this county. But therepro-
longed trials are being carried out in
order that such an important question
may be thoroughly investigated,

way to a precarious safety before his
hearth; or to a great love; or to any
of many hopes and ambitions that
beset mankind.
Geoffrey Knarr meditated after this
fashion as he waited for a downtown
local in the Columbus Circle subway
station; an evening paper held close
to eyes that strayed. eyes before
which the printed page was a mean-
ingless blur.
Knarr, was an odd egg; at least,
so the few who called him friend
agreed. "A bit of an idealist, eh?"
Exactly that 1 And for a year or two
or three idealism has been quoted
quite a way below par.
Drinking and petting parties, to
which he was invited frequently, bored
Geoffrey Knarr to tears. He would
rather stay in his hotel room and
read. Maupassant, Conrad, Merrick,
and many other authors with whom
his spiritual communion was keen and
appreciative.
But Geoff was human just the
same. At thirty he had saved enough
to start a home on. Geoff was a re-
write man and had worked on the
best papers in the country and was
now on a big New York daily. He
should have been utterly hard-boiled
and taken his fun where he found it,
as many hard-boiled newspaper men
do—but Geoff could not do that. He
wanted a woman he could love in his,
own way—some one whoa would un-
derstand his queer sensitive nature;
and some one who would try to let
him understand her.
So he came, to New York, the melt-
ing pot, where all sorts of women and
all sorts of men abide. New York
the jungle! Where many millions pad
their soft -footed course In and out
among the thickets of streets on the
line that destiny has penciled out for
them.
This night Geoffrey turned from
his paper, still" waiting for a train,
and tossed his .eyes, a little bitterly,
toward the steel -plated' brightness of
the subway stairs; worn by many
millions of tragic, hopeful feet, Goef
frey still dared to hope that one day,
some day, he would find i face. Not
necessarily the' face that aunched a
thousand ships. Just a face that he
could come home to, and make love
to. And cherish and keep from harm.
Geoffrey wanted to chop his own way
to a shack and: a watering place in
this formidable jungle of New York
Like some mammoth python his
train hissed Its way Into the station
and commenced disgorging its passen
gers from a brightly lighted interior.
It was the evening rush hour. .There
was the usual brutal scramble and
lam. Courtesy is not a synonym for
the rush hour subway.
In the disgorgement process, which
Geoffrey .watched from his close•
crammed waiting place, there suriclen•
ly shot forth a slim girt with great,
wide, lovely eyes, who gave just the
suggestion of a gasp as she was bat•
ted back and forth between the shoul-
ders of two burly men.

and slim athletic figure, wrenched
himself free of the mob—and followed
close in the trail of romance. As the
girl briskly dodged traffic and started
Uptown from the subway exit that
splits Broadway at the upper swing
of the Circle.
At the corner, as the girl turned
left on Sixtieth>.street, Geoffrey quick-
ened his pace and gently touched her
elbow:
"A glance flashed between us—you
