Live Stock in 1925.

I is most decidedly cheering and encour aging. -During 1925, says the review the British market for our cattle corn peted with our domestic trade, in itsel very strong, in a remarkable manner thereby maintaining prices on ali good sorts of feeders and export butcher stock at very satisfactory levels. All _se told 110,257 head of cattle were moved overseas as conipe:red with 82,086 in time while going from 15 pounds to 50 pounds in weight. They get their e feed in the form of milk and the t mother must have constitution and digestive capacity in order to supply , to the mammary glands the nutriment ` from which milk is secreted. f Has any one seen a ton litter, the darn of which was not a good suckler?

Dur- 1924 and 5$,649 in 1923, an increase of 24.3 per cent. over the previous year and of nearly 100 per cent. over 1928, Public stock yards sold ap- proximately 945,000 head of cattle in 1925 as against -857,500 in 1924. Indi- cations were of a strong trade in the East. for the Western provinces. It is estimated that the increase in hog sales revenue in 1925 ever 1924 • wsa about fifteen million • dollars. Prices ran anywhere up to $8 per hog higher on good bacon hogs in 1925, over the previous Year. The. co;ntribrit ' ing factors to the situation, says the review, were an -excellent market in England for our bacon and hams, an exceptionally keen domestic demand, •'a sharp inquiry for our hogs from the Pacific coast States, which .absorbed around two mullion dollars' worth, and �a gcneeel improvement in the type and finish of the hogs Inarketed. Nothing, adds the review, could be' more encouraging than the way in which our bacon is gaining in favor on the` British market, our sales being about twenty million pounds more in 1925 than in 1924 and the total being In excess of 120,000,000 lbs. The fly in -the ointment is a tend- ency apparent. during the latter months of the year to overfeed. and over finish the hogs put upon the mar- ket. This, if persisted in, must have a disastrous effect on the export de- de - :'eland. The 'sheep industry experienced a somewhat quiet year, but on the whole was 'encouraging, although the busi- ness in woot was a little disappointing. Choice lambs were in good demand and are -likely to continue so. Good breeding stock is also in demand. Sup- ,_ plies were, rather scanty but 26,000 head of Iambs were exported in 1925 against 9,000 the year before. Also 1,,500,000 lbs. of mutton and Iamb were shipped out of the country corn- _ pared with only 198;000 lbs. in 1924.

WILL RATCLIFFE, It is high time that Canadian path ents should be alarmed at'tbe amount of trash, in the form of sex literature, that is fa:ling into the hands of thee. bays and girls, Filth from across the border flaws into our Canadian 'homes to wreck our Canadian youth. A gen- eration ago, we were troubled over the effect that the dune novel bad upon our boys; We were grief-stricken when they held itp the' officials of a, bank and escaped with the booty, not for tbe of the money, but to get the thrills that accompany a hold-up, be it an individual, a house or a railroad train, There can be no question that the literature of that period rvas're- sponsibe for the downfall of many a mother's dearer -then life son, To; a great extent, this detective blood.and-thunder stuff has seen its day. It is supplanted by the sex story that seems to be taking the reading world by storm. The harvest of the former literature was the loss of pro- perty, freedom and,life; of the latter something far more va�luab:e, the good name and morals of our young people. What u people read, that they axe; and, to see where we are headed, one has but to look through the American. magazines of so -calved "life stories," .published by concerns which know that their publications supply the de- mand of a c`ass of people who are mora•1•1epers; the concerns that, for the love of money, place in the hands i of the young, stories that are not true to life (though so claimed), stories that will lead youth astray much more certainly than the detective story, • THE SCARLET LETTER. such is the case, We can not change it. Woman, like a used • postage stamp, once inked, is done for, and any writer r who preeehes otherwise lures the rano- • cent into a life like that of the Leper, who may be cured but is so disfigured " Ias to be eternally shunned, The publishers of these magazines , manage to get ,their publications through the mail, permitting their writers to go just as far as they e please in writing of the things that men and wom% have alwaye herd sac- red, just so they include a little. preachment and say that these things are wrong, They stop right at the edge of vulgarity and many of them hard''"y stop there. After years of observation, we know that the influence of such literature is .bad, but what can we do when the publishers keep within the law? When we tel a child not to read a certain book, that the book is bad, we right there plant a, desire in that mind to see for itself what we term "bad." GOOD BOOKS ARE rRIENDS. We want to cultivate a love of read- ing in our young people. Books can be friends, safeguards, companions, educators. They open up another world to us, enriching the mind. But there must be supervision over the books and magazines which come into the home, and there must be no dearth of what we know to be good reading. There is an inexhaustible supply of wholesome fiction and interesting books on history, travel, biography and adventure, and if this be supplied, our boys and girls will be trained to appreciate the true and sense that which is false. Talk it over, parents. Realize the dangers which surround your children, and protect them with an invisible wall built by training them to be clean -minded, by informing them of the results of wrong -doing, and by supplying them with opportunities for normal pleasures and food for the mind as weal as the body. Good maga- zines cost Iess than broken hearts. Good lights by which they can read and good•books are better than empty homes. In these days of traveling libraries, no one need starve for good. reading. Since the dawn of civilization, down to the present time, a woman who is rnarked.by the scarlet letter may live so that she will regain the respect of good men and women, but the door to the social world is eternally closed to her, and the black spot on her name can by no means be erased. No man, unless he be her inferior in morals and intellect, will ever take her as a wife. It is not right for the woman alone to he placed beyond the pale of society, while the same society closes its eyes to the past of the man who has been her companion in wrong -doing; but Children's Foods. Cereals best suited to a child's diet are rolled oats, roiled wheat, wheat-, ina, cream of wheat, feline, hominy, cornmeal, pear: barley. Ail these are cooked four hours in a double boiler and served with milk. Prepared cereals, such as cornflakes or shredded wheat, are expensive in comparison with the cooked cereals. Fruits are good for children and should be given daily—fresh apples, poetises, pears oranges and grapes; or stewed fruits such as prunes, ap- ples, rhubarb, apricots, peaches, pears, figs, dried peaches or dates. Vegetables are just as important. Like fruits; they•shbuld be given daily. As well as .supplying valuable. mineral matter, vitamins, carbohydrates and buil:, they lend .variety to the nrea'-e, Those most suitab:e for children are: beets, carrots, onions, cooked celery, spinach, peas, string beans, asparagus, ..squash, marrow, chard, lima beans and lettuce (cooked). Spinach is par- ticularly valuable on account of the iron which it contains. If care and thought are taken, food can be easily selected which will con- tain adequate amounts of.miner'al mat- ter and vitamins in combination with protein, fat and carbohydrate. Mineral matter and vitamines are contained chiefly in fruits, vegetables, eggs and mi:k, and—providing these are given their proper place in the diet -'there should be no deficiency on 'that score. With these, ton, the neces- sary bulk is supplied to keep the intes- tines in condition. Bran in cereal or muffins and whole wheat bread also are excellent means of adding hulk to the diet. Hints Worth Taking. A pinch of soda added to any boiled syrup will keep it from crystallizing. A teaspoon of vinegar; added to home- made syrup will keep it front -candy- ing after it etands. v A .teaspoon of vinegar beaten into boiled frosting wi1,- prevent it from being brittle or breaking when cut. After boiling gait beef, leave two or three carrots in the liquid until cold. The carrots will absorb the salt and the liquor can be used for soups.
