London Port Figures Show Improved Trade London.—The tonnage of both ex- ,,ported and imported goods dealt with by the Port of London Authority during 1934-35 showed an increase over the fgures for the previous 12 months. The total imports, amounting to 82,696,921 tons, represented an ad- vance of 7.4 per cent, and the ex- ports -6,587,585 tons—an increase of 4.4 per cent. Shipping paying riyer duties of tonnage was up by 2.1 per cent, and shipping using the wet docks by 0.8 per cent. The shipping entering the dry docks of the Authority during the twelve months was 3,133,119 tons gross, compared wth 3,145,368 tons in the previous] year. Potatoes For Fitness Although few people realize it, the potato Is one of the most valu- able vegetables in the working man's' dietary. The average housewife, dietary. The average housewife, however, uses it largely because of its cheapness. It is rich in vitamins A, B and C, and is also an excellent antiscorbu- tic. In fact, scurvy is unknown in eountries where potatoes form a regular part of the diet. Most peo- ple imagine that they are fattening, but Dr. H. K. Archibald, who has done a considerable amount of re- search work on the potato, says .it may be included in any diet without the slightest qualms. It is very nu- tritious, and with the addition of a little butter and salt men have lived !exclusively on a diet of potatoes for ( 800 days, keeping in perfect health the whole time. Safety First Farmer (to new hand from the city)—Now, when you are attend- ing to these mules, I warn you not to approach them from the rear without speaking to them first. New Hand—Why is that; is it a question of etiquette on the farm? Farmer—No, it ain't a matter of 'etiquette a -tall. But one o' these 1mulee is liable most any time to kick you -all in the head, an' I don't want a lot of lame mules on my hands. Foreman—See here, Buddy, that other fellow is carrying two sticks of timber when you're carrying only one. What have you got to say? Buddy—That fellow's too lazy to go twice. Fitting the Farm Horse With, Shoes Different Foot Treatment For Draft Than For Light Horses An examination of a typical hoof of each class will reveal bhe com- paratively fiat foot and low heel of the. draft horse to that of the com- paratively narrow hoof and high heel of the light -horse. What wide tires are to a freight wagon, large feet are to the draft horse. Reason- ably large feet and reasonably low heels are well suited to this type. 'Lite heavy work to which he is call- ed makes it imperative that he be kept well shod in order to sustain the quarters of the foot and protect the frog. Prevent Concussion Shoes of the draft horse should be rather wide of web, especially at the heel, The proper width of a ,shoe for a draft horse on the aver- age is about one and a half inches, thethickness being from one-half to five-eighths of an inch. The shoe also should be a little longer and broader at the heel than in other parts. The. sole when fitted with a shoe should be as near the ground as possible, and when attached to the hoof must run flush from heel to heel with the outer edge of the wall. The heels should be kept suf- ficiently low to allow the frog to touch the ground, as the frog is used by the horse in a state of nature to get a grip with, and prevent concus- ston. Nothing is worse than to see a horse raised up on his shoes, with a cavity between his frog and the ground. In nailing the shoe on to the front foot the nails, should be driven nem firmly at the toe than the heels, particularly the inside heel. The clinches should be laid down as smooth as possible and with- out the aid of a rasp. Some blacksmiths make the mistake of cutting out the bars of the hoof and no farmer or hon se owner should allow them to be touched. They are Nature's preventative against hoof contraction, and if left alone they answer their purpose very well. When the bars ar•e tampered with by the blacksmith's knife, corms and quittor often follow as a result. Care of Breeding Ewes in Winter Should Be in a Thrifty and 'a Gaining Condition During winter pregnant ewes should gain about 25 pounds apiece before lambing time. That means that they should be in a thrifty and a gaining condition. If they gain in flesh they will produce more vig- orous lambs, nourish them better, and will disown fewer lambs than those which do not gain during winter. A very satisfactory ration for an average size ewe weighing about 150 pounds, is about two or three pounds of silage daily, and about a pound of some leguminous roughage, as al- falfa and clover hay. With such a ra- tion little or no grain need be fed until about a month before lambing time, when about a half -pound` of grain per head should be fed. Oats are very good or if clover ,or alfalfa hay is not available, some high protein feed, as linseed meal, should be fed at the rate of about one pound to ten ewes along with the other grain mix- ture. Plenty of exercise is also necessary for good health, for otherwise many deaths may occur due to lack of ex- ercise. Exercise may be secured by providing hay racks sone distance from the sheep barn so the sheep will have to travel back and forth daily. One can also .allow the ewes to roam the fields on bright days. One other factor in producing a high percentage of vigorous lambs is that of proper shelter. A dry bed and protection against rain and snow is all that is necessary, but the shed should be free from drafts as sheep are apt to catch cold, run at the nose, etc., if they are subjected to drafts, SPECIAL- OFFER Everyone -who wears or needs these glasses should take advant, age of this wonderful opportunity to secure a pair of modern Ro- osevelt glasses at this bargain price.

W.C.A. Challenging members 'to meet'pee- sent problems on a higher spiritual and intellectual level and urging world -mindedness, Miss Dingman put forward the case of the domestic worker as an example of a task to which they could lend support in attempting to fulfil alms of the world Y.W.C.A. Present-day economic pressure has driven many women into homes as domestic workers, one of the most exploited types of enrplloyzuent among women yet rendering one of the most socially valuable services, she asserted. Miss Dingman cited this problem as one for immediate' study and action. "I am no believer in organiza- tions continuing after the need for them is dead," the speaker con- tinued. "Haven't we the vision of the women of 80 years ago? The Christian world needs, as never be- fore, strong spiritual life. The' world needs women with conviction about their religious life" Outlining the needs she envisioned, Miss Dingman referred to the price both the Protestant and' Catholic church of Germany are . paying in their stand against 'domination by the state — a fight in which she said the Y.W.C.A, was taking an active part. "If we were doing the things the, Christian religion dictates we should be paying the price," she con- cluded. Skilled Trades Now Offer Good Openings For Young People Opportunities for young people who contemplate careers as skilled crafts- men are excellent, according to Wal- ter B. Pitkin, author of "New Ca- reers for Youth." "Industry wants to know," he says in the Rotarian Magazine, "where tomorrow's skilled craftsmen are coming from. Finding few, em- ployers are beginning to open up ap- prentice training- courses to help meet the most acute shortage of skilled labor this country has ever known. "In Detroit, the mechanical indus- tries need 3,600 highly skilled work - Thy voice, intoned with cordial words sincere, We cherish now in sorrowing hearts and minds.

There's never a load too heavy to bear, nor a road too steep to climb; There's a Friend who our troubles will gladly share. And He is not • hard to find. We often find Hini in dens of sin, so.nesimes in a baby's smile; He seeks lowly places souls to win, we must help Him all the while. We can aid Him by lending a helping hand to a traveler on his way; By speaking kind words to a down- hearted man in the end it will surely pay! Words cost but little — a smile is worth while, small effort on our part is spelt; Yet it may brighten the day for a little child through the message God has sent. Let's just do our best from day to day, help a weak brother over the stile. Smile and be cheerful 'til "over the way," we reach the end of the Iast weary mile. * 5 * Blowfish—So you went after that job, did you? I thought you believed that the office should seek the man.

The West Looks Up (Winnipeg Tribune) The wheat is moving out. The farmers are provided for in the minimum price. The world is taking our wheat in increasing quantities. Winnipeg, very keenly concerned, has reason to feel happy over that situ- ation. The drought is definitely broken. Rust, the scourge of the wheat crops last year, seldom inflicts much damage in the succeeding year. The west with reasoned opti- mism can look forward to normal crops and somewhat • higher prices. No part of Canada few parts of the world — have suffered greater losses than the prairie country in the last five years. It is a satisfac- tion to see its feet firmly planted in the comeback trail. Mining is good. Manitoba's mines are contributing far more substanti- ally to the growing prosperity of this city and province than was consider- ed possible even three years ago Great opportunities still exist in this field. All in all, it is a brave new start —and It is not merely something we can see ahead of us, but something we are experiencing. Our difficulties and our handicaps are still many, but we are clearly heading into a period of greater material prosperity which, as it develops, will solve many of the hunnianitarian and other pro- blems with which we hava been so greatly concerned in the last few years.
