Feed Hogs to a Finish In a review of the hog market sit- uation as it exists at the present time A. A. MacMillan, Chief of the Sheep and Swine Division, Domir en Live Stock Branch, states that there is no justification for the practice which has been too general this season of. trying to beat the market by selling off lightweight unfinished hogs to gain a few cents ,per pound at current" prices. As he sees it, the principal ef- fect of such practices has been to de- moralize the market and force prices much below what they otherwise might be, With Canadian hog prices drastical- ly realigned both to suit domestic conditions and export market prices the common sense practice to use at the present time, according to Mr. MacMillan is to finish highs up to the proper market weight, around 200 pounds. This he believes is the one effective way • in which to develop a "steady" hog market, to regularize mar.ketings, and at the same time to improve quality. A Record Shipment A new record for fall freight was set up this month when a carload of potted plants from a Vancouver grower shipped to the. Dale Estate at Brampton, Ont., crossed the contin- ent in nine days. The shipment marks an important new ,development in Ca- nadian horticulture, as heretofore practically all potted plants were im- ported by the trade. There were about 14,000 plants in the shipment, which included an assorted variety of Phoenix, Rochelenii, Boston and Wliitmanii ferns, some very fine large specimens of Kentia Palms, from ten to fifteen feet high, and Aspidistras. -Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa. Canada's Dairy Exports The current issue of the Dairy News Letter issued by the federal Dairy and Cold Storage T3ranch pro- vides the following figures with res- pect to exports of dairy products for the year ending July 1931, and 1930: Export 1931 1930 Crearn (gallons) 585,309 1,757,370 Fresh Milk (gab) 896,069 2,439,474 Butter (lbs.) 5,149,600 1,217,800 Cheese (lbs.) 77,421,300 86,085,900 Milk, con, (lbs,) 10,385,800 15,045800 Milk, powder " 5,514,300 4,528,200 Milk, evaporat 8,338,000 8,889,100 Casein (lbs.) 41,450 165,713 Avoid "Shipping Fever" Much of the serious toss which at times occurs in shipments of stocker and feeder cattle in transit may be substantially reduced, if not entirely prevented, through the exercise of greater care in handling and feeding. The disease is caused by a germ that exists as a harmless organism in the body of healthy animals, in the soil, and elsewhere in localities frequented by animals, and it is widely distribut- ed in nature. There is no cure for the disease once it develops but so long as cattle are in good condition and normally vigorous the germ remains harmless. It is when the animal's vi- tality is lowered through the hard- ships of travel and exposure that the germs change from a harmless state to one producing disease and. death. In a statement recently issued the I -Ton. Robt. Weir, Minister of Agri- culture, urges observance of the fol- lowing simple rules to prevent "ship- ping fever": Ship only condition. Take plenty of time in driving cat- tle across country to prevent fatigue, and give them sufficient time to rest before loading. • Upon arrival at the yards withhold water until the cattle have rested, then allow a small quantity; do not let them fill up. Feed clean, well -cur- ed hay and before loading water them' again, Do not overload in cars and in cold weather bed the carswell, Feed and water at proper intervals. en route, and allow plenty of time for the cattle to rest whenever they are. unloaded. Too much care cannot be exercised in providing rest spells to prevent fa- tigue, and regular feeding and water- ing are essential if these losses are to be prevented. Upon arrival at destination the cat- tle should be given special care until they have recovered from the lower- ing ower-ing of their vitality, which is insepar- able from shipment. Inoculating Cattle for "Shipping Fever" Much of the loss of cattle in tran- sit or at stock yards from "Shipping Fever" can be avoided through inoc- ulation, according to a statement is- sued by the Dominion Health of An- imals Branch. Inoculation against the disease requires about two weeks be- fore it becomes effective and before cattle may be shipped with any assur- ance of protection. It is for this rea- son that the treatment has to be ap- plied at the farm or ranch before cat- tle are shipped, as for the first few days following treatment a state of high susceptibility develops, but this in the course of a fortnight changes -to one of high resistance which lasts approximately twelve months. • Watch Cheese Curing During the 'Rall Months Dr, 5, A. Duddick, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, calls attention to the impotrance of lnaintaing adequate temperatures for the curing of cheese trade during the fall months, partic- i ularly October and November, The cattle in good vigorous Why Burn Straw Stacks When with the use of suitable chemicals they can be converted into manure the question "Why burn straw stacks?" is really impoAlitt.

Production of pears, plums and prunes is 10 per cent. below 1930, while the peach crop is 21 per cent. heavier and grapes show an increase of 18,6 per cent. Potato production at 53, 569,000 cwts. is 2,500 tons ahead of last year, with Ontario and Quebec showing substantial increases in production volume, HYDRO LAMPS "The Lone Life Lamps" egall esil red for Y reit S rv.Ce and guaranteed - _ x Keep a Carlors of Six Lamps in the House Wirigham Utilities 1 fission Phone 156.
