The reduction ap- lies only to cattle in transit, that is cattle to which the railways had pre- viously carried to the feeder points. The rate will be cut in half and, will mean a saving to the farmer shipping, for example, from a point in Ontario to St. John or Halifax, of approxim- ately $30 a carload. Choosing a Fertilizer Mixture While it is customary to select a fertilizer mixture which bas been found specially adapted to the crop to be grown, the nature and past treatment of the soil should also be taken into consideration. For example —if the soil is of a very light sandy nature the fertilizer should contain a good percentage of potash but on heavy claY loa.ms only a small amount of this element may be required by the plant for early growth. On soils which have recently been well mut- ated and are Well supplied with or- ganic matter a fertilizer relatively high in phosphoric acid may be re- quired for maximum crop production.

After making unusually great g`ains, these animals are now going to the killing plants, and will be placed on the market gradually during the next four or five weeks. Being fresh -killed, and finished on grain, the quality and flavour of this variety of lamb is as differeiit from frozen lamb as a milk -fed chicken is from the ordinary variety. Formerly, all Canadian lamb was marketed in the fall, with a lim- ited portion held over for the Xnias trade. However, in order to spread the season for fresh lamb, and to in- crease the market for Ontario grain, the Dominion Government assisted in bringing these western lambs into On- tario.
