Felix Roche, president of Mat -A -Lac
Gold Mines (1936) Ltd., he has staked
a group of claims on behalf of the
company. Surface showings show con-
siderable gold and five samples taken
gave assay returns up to $96.60 per
ton in gold. A crew will be sent to the
property immediately, to commence
exploration,
McLellan Long Lac Gold Mines has
uncovered a new break on the north
group of claims in the Hutchison
Lake area from which encouraging
values are reported. The new discov-

iscovery shows a width of 2 feet, and is
highly mineralized and lines up with
the Hutchison Lake strike. Diamond

To Iprove the
Grade Dairy Herd
Continue to Use Pure - Bred
Sire of Same Breed on
Each Generation
The grading up system of breed-
ing means the mating of one com-
mon or unimproved parent with a
purebred. By continuing to use a
purebred sire on each successive gen-
eration thus produced, the herd soon
comes to have great uniformity and
a high economic value, but as breed-
ing stock they are worthless.
With cattle, the first cross will
make all the calves half bloods and
thereafter, if superior bulls are used,
the progress toward higher levels is
certain. Eventually, the unimproved
blood practically disappears, but such
animals can never he registered. If
grades are bred to grades, no progress
is made. The upward "pull" comes
through the purebred sire only. No
promising bull calf even from a high -
record grade cow should ever be re-
tained for use as a sire. He may look
"right," but all improvement stops
when he enters the service.
Where marked' improvement in a
grade herd is shown by the first -
cross daughters of a purejzred bull,
it is considered advisable for several
reasons to breed him back to his own
daughters. The failure to make a full
and consistent use of sires of the same
breed in grading is the most glaring
mistake made by livestock farmers
today. In dairy herds the temptation
to use a bull of some fat -test breed,
on high-grade cows of a low fat -test
breed, should be discouraged. Stick
to the same breed of sire or dispose of
the herd and make a new start.
In producing cattle either for direct
utility purposes or breeding stock,
there is with possibly one exception
no practical advantage in crossing
distinct breeds. The fancy that de-
sirable but opposed characters can be
easily made to blend by this method
has been the undoing of many cattle-
men. Do not cross breeds. Strive to
improve the breed already in hand.

FM' Employees
Wrigley Company Contri-
butes Nearly $1oO,OOO to
Start Pension Plan.
Over two hundred members of
the Win. Wrigley Jr. Co. Limited
of Canada join with 3,000 employees
of the company in the United States
in a pension plan recently announ-
ced. The plan went into effect in
Canada on July lst, 1936.
Under the plan the amount of
pensions depends on the workers'
wages and the length of service
with the Wrigley Company, Wrig-
ley's heave always been intensely
interested in the welfare and securi4
ty of .their employees and have
always manifested this .intet'est to
the fullest extent.
In order to credit employees who
:have been with . the Company ' for
many years before the start of the
plan, Wrigley's have made a cash
contribution to the fund of almost
$100,000 to cover these years of
previous service. Thus any employee
who has been with the Wrigley.
Company for 25 years and whose:
salary is now $200 e month, would
have an automatic pension of ;350.00
per month.
On the average, the Company
and the employees pay into the fund
an equal amount each month. The
employees contribution amounts to
about four cents on every dollar
earned. The retirement age is set
at 65 years. Life expectancy is' esti-
mated at 12 years above age 65.
However in the event of death,, or
discontinuance in the emphymeut of
the Wrigley Company, or in the ease
of early retirement, empI' yees niay
withdraw the funds which they have
paid into the plans,- phis interest
compounded at 3% annually. Pay.
ments and pensions are all 'lased
on a percentage of wage multiplied.
by the number of years with the
Company.
As an example for employees
long with the company, a man leho
has now been with Wrigley's:for
twenty-five years, earning a salary
of $200.00, would, if he continues
with the Company for twenty nio'e
years; earn a pension. of $110.00
per month. And if he lives out the
normal expectancy of 12 years, he
will have withdrawn a total of $15,-
840.00 although his , ceietributions
would amount to only $49.20.00.

which he used In a speech.
"Ain't you got no education?" he
playfully demanded in a memo to
those who questioned his usage.
"I would swear by the bones of

says the word is "rare." '
Friend of Miners
To the long list of Canadian edi-
tors who have died- since the New
Year must be added .the name of
J. W. H. Sutherland; editor and pub-
lisher of the Evening News, New
Glasgow, N.S., in the heart of the
coal mining district, says the London
Free Press.
Canadian editors who attended
the last meeting of the Canadian
•Press held in Toronto early in May,
will not soon forget Mr. Sutherland.
There had been a long and at times
rather acrimonious debate over the
handling of the news of the Moose
River disaster. There was consider-
able difference of opinion expressed
as to what had taken place in the
last brave 24-hour fight to rescue'
the entombed men.
:Finally when everyone had had
their say a gentleman, whom. few.'
knew, arose at the back. He explain-
ed in the broadest of Scotch that he
was the publisher of the New Glas-
gow News, where most of the drae-
germen came from. He knew them'
all personally; they were all friends
of his. He had talked with them
since their return fliom Moose Riven.
Then in simple, but eloquent langu-
age, he told the story of what had
actually taken place in that Fong
light. They felt they had done noth-
ing extraordinary; it was all part
of their daily task; they did not look
on themselves as heroes. When the
speaker sat down there was not one
of those present who was not touch-
ed by his recital. The debate closed.
There was nothing more to say. The
speaker was the late Mr. Sutherland.
The miners have lost a good friend
in the death of Mr. Sutherland. In

vacate of tate miner and the steel

tions.

Permits to Drive
--Magistrate Burbidge of Hamilton
has something to say about granting
driving permits to people who were
suffering from physical handicaps.
Cne driver was to have appeared be-
fore him to answer to criminal negli-
gence in operating his car, but the.
information obtained was that the
aceused could not appear in court on
account of his physical condition. The
driver is a 70 per cent. war disability
case.
Medical testimony showed this
driver has a heart condition, chronic
bronchitis, nervous disability and
other ailments. Re has been under
treatment at Byron Hospital and left
against doctor's orders.
The Hamilton magistrate says an
individual in that condition should
not be driving a ear, and the magis-
trate is right, He says a permit to
drive should not be issued to him and
again he is right. It would be no
hardship to tell a person in that con-
dition he should not drive. In the
end it would be kindness.
Carcass Grading o
tiogs Is EqitaWe
Standards for live hog grading were
established in Canada in October, of
1922, in accordance with regulations
under the Live Stock and Live Stock
Products Act. A national Swine Con-
ference had been convened in the
previous year to consider the serious
difficulties then being experienced in
marketing Canadian bacon in Great
Britain, the one major problem being
the inferiority of Canadian bocon.
The Conference appointed a perman-
ent committee, known as the Joint
Stock Committee and the Live Stock
Branch of the Dominion Department
of Agriculture was requested to es-
toblish and administer an indepen-
dent grading service.
The Joint Swine Committee was ap-
pointed to act in an advisory capacity
to the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture in the development of hog
grading and other policies pertaining
to the swine indugtry. It is composed
of two representatives of the Domin-
ion Live Stock Branch, two of the
packing industry, one each for the
Province of Quebec, the Western
Live Stock Union, the Eastern Live
Stock Union, and two from the Can-
adian Council of Agriculture. Cogni-
sant of the limitations of live grading

Mr. Moneybags — "Heavens no! the Live Stock Branch, Dominion De-
e's got a list of blondes, a list of partment of Agriculture in the latest
;Tirunettes, and a list of redheads." issue of the C. S. T. A. Review, re-
commended to the Department of Ag-
riculture that experimental work be
undertaken to determine whether a
system of carcass, or rail grading
would be practical and adaptable to
conditions of marketing and slaughter-
ing of hogs in Canada.
Following some preliminary work to
establish tentative carcass grades,
the Hog Grading Regulations were
amended on March 17, 1934, to pro-
vide carcass grading on a voluntary
basis, so that experimental work as
recommended could be commenced.
Consequently, carcass grading on a
voluntary basis, for purely experi-
mental purposes, was started in Pet-
erboro, Ont., in July, 1934, and later
in the year at Stratford. During that
year 3,577 hogs were carcass -graded,
and the growth of the system may
be gauged by the fact that in three
months 'of 1936 the number of hogs
graded was 57,007.
The Dominion Department of Agri-
culture having assumed the responsi-
bility of providing as impartial and
adequate grading service, as a basis
of trading between producer and the
packer, has endeavoured with the ad-
vice of the Joint Swine Committee to
make available a method of grading
that experience in other countries in-
dicates to be efficient and equitable.
The necessity for further improve-
ment in the quality of commercial
hogs is obvious.

A church with a wooden tower, a
duck pond, a -village inn, a smithy
and a few scattered cottages, all of
which constitute a village, have sur-
rendered to the demands of modern
days. Totteridge a pretty Hertford-
shire vil,age, is to be developed in
the form of a housing estate, but
every effort is being made not to
break the spell of- the old-world
charm and historic associations. The
17th century church, with the Im-
mense yew tree — which tradition
says is 850 years old—in the church-
yard ,and the many fine old country
houses in the neighborhood, should
do much to maintain the dignified and
rural character of the village.
Sir Jagadis Bose has already prov-
ed to the scientific world that plants
have the ability to feel, and have
waking as well as sleeping hours. The
Japanese evidently think so, too.
Some time ago an electric light com-
pany erected a huge neon advertis-
ing sign alongside rice fields. The
farmers protested, saying that it
would interfere 'with the growth of
their rice cropay but no notice was
aht
wth all who
"roll their
owns
taken. Unfortunately for the com-
pany, the crops refused to ripen and
the farmers took their ease to court.
Here it was adjudged that the elec-
tric sign kept the rice awake, and
the cultivators were awarded ade-
u
q ate compensation.
