INVES'rION WILL SAVE WASTED
FORESTS
The coal strike in the Western Pro-
vinces during the pant summer neces-
sitated the use of a considerable a-
mount of low-grade (subbituminous)
coal, and this coal, owing to the great-
er number of sparks given off, con.
siderably increa 'ed the risk of fire ie
the forests along the railways. While
the number of fires increased,' the in-
crease in the amount of damage done
was,. however, comparatively slight.
The necessity of burning coal of this
character has led to the developement
of a type of "front end" for the lo-
comotives which, it is claimed, elim-
inates ninety per cent. of the sparks
and makes the burning of the coal
fairly safe.

MARKETS ANi) REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPORT CATTLE
Feeders of beef cattle may look
'with considerable assurance for a i
strong market for properly selected •
ane: finished export beef on the hoof
during the later part of April and;
the first weeks of May. No very
great movement can take place be-
fore that time, or the terms of the
cattle embargo removal, which be-
come effective April 1st, [.stipulate
that all cattle must be shipped from
a Canadian port. Montreal is the
logical economical port for these
shipments but it will not be open un-
til about the end of April. A few
shipments may go by way of Halifax
or St. John in the meantime, but, on
account of the high cost of rail
transportation, the bulk will be held
for the opening of the port of Mon-
treal. Present indications point to
a heavy demand from the British
market as soon as it can be supplied.
The statement "properly selected
and finished" used above is used ad-
visedly. The British consumer is a
connoisseur of beef and hisepalate is
not likely to be satisfied with any
second rate meat, consequently if we
do not wish to land this prospective
beef trade into the secondary posi-
tion in which we now find our baron
trade, let us start right by sending
over a well graded product. ,Grading
should be done on the basis -of breed-
ing, si,y, e, fjerieh and suitability fur
shipment. if th'e''first place, an ex-
port steer should show sufficient good
beef breeding that he will fill the eye
of the prospective buyer on that score
alone. First impressions are most
lasting. Size is both for and against.
Shipment being on the basis of so
much per head, the heavier the ani-
mal the lower the cost of transporta-
tion The demand, however, is for a
medium sized animal. Selection
should, therefore be on the basis of
weight for size and age, i.e., heavy
little animals. The finish must be up
to a fairly high standard, recently
and uniformly put on. Here to a
greater extent than is the case on our
home market is where feeding to a
high finish will he justifiable. Suit
ability for export shipment .-includes
such factors as freedom from disease,
or recently received blemishes; a de-
gree of docile temperament; and last,
hut not least, an absence of horns,
r dehorning is practically impera-
tive for export shipping. If these
fes' factors are kept in mind at the
start and nothing but Canada's hest
shipped over, a steady rather than a
glutted market may be looked for.
MARCIi WEATHER
DANGEROUS TO BABY
Our Canadian March weather—one
.day bright, but sloppy, the next blus-
ter) and cold—Ts extremely hard on
children. Conditions make it neces-
sary - for the mother, to keep the little
ones 'indoors. They are often con-
fined to overheated, badly ventilated
rooms and catch colds which rack
their whole system. To guard against
these colds and to beep the v cli
tial the better, brighter days cone
along. a box of Baby's Own 'Tablets
should be kept in the house and an
occasional dose given the baby to
Item his stomach and bowels work-
ing regularly. The Tablets are a nulti
but thorough laxative which never
fail to regulate the stomach and bmv-
eln and thus they relieve colds and
simple fevers and keep the baby fit.
The Tablets are sold by medicin:
dialers or by mail at 25 cents a bus
from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
TO PREVENT HORN GROWTH ON
CALVES
In the case of beef -bred calves des-
tined to be finished for the block, or
of calves of the dairy breeds where
horns are colnsidered a menace, the
practice is to treat the calf for the
prevention of horn growth before it
is ten days old. The treatment must
be thorough and the caustic used up
to strength, or malformed horns wilt
develop. Caustic potash in stick
form is recommended, but Gillette's
lye may be used. Clip the hair away
from the buttons, wash with soap and
water and dry. Apply vaseline or
crude petroleum so that it covers the
head for an inch or so about the
margin of the button, being careful
to see that no vaseline covers the
button itself. Take a stick of caustic
1 potash, wrap it in paper as a pro•
1 tection to the hands, moisten the tip
of the stick and rub it nn the buttons.

First, rub the :button gently for thlyeo
or floe • miftutee until they becon e
red; second, .rub on three or four
times, at intervals, allowing the
potash to dry on the horn butt -in
each time. The last mentioned meth-
od will generally give better results.
Precaution should be taken to protect
the hands; not to let the dissolved
potash run over other parts of the
head; to tie the calves up or separ-
ute them so that they canndt lick
one another, and not to let water or
rain fall on their heads for a few
days. Where calves are older thun
a week or ten deye and some horn
development is present—a condition
often• met with where this operation
is done at branding and altering time
on the range—a widely used plan is
to cut the top off the horn, avoiding
causing bleeding, if possible, and then
rubbing on caustic potash, or, a paste
made of Gillette's lye and applied with
the blade of a knife.

The radical change in hacon curring
methods brought about by the cold
storage system.has been the chief
cause, of a great increase in bacon
consumption and, as a result, of a
strong trend among breeders to pro-
duce types of hogs to yield the recog-
nized bacon cuts. How and shy that
trend in breeding took place in Eng-
land are explained in a few words in
the following extracts from an article
on the Tamwerth hog inr!'The Journal
of the Ministry of Agriculture" (of
great Britain) by Mr. Sanders Spen-
cer, who is perhaps the world's "dean"
of hog breeders. He writes:
The introductionabout fifty years
since of the cold -air chamber system.
of bacon curing, (cold storage) by
which the bacon factories were enabl-
ed to carry on their operations as
Satisfactorily in the summer as in the
vvtnter months, created a demand for
a pig of quite a different character
to the fashionable pig of that period.
The short, fat, heavy forequartered
pig was found to be totally unsuited
for the manufacture.of the mild cured
bucon so much in demand. The ne-
cessity for the heavy salting and the
accompanying large proportion of fat
in the meat aired in the winter for
summer consumption had passed a-
way. The public demanded the mid -
We portion of the side of bacon for
I•reakfast consumption comparatively
lean and long, and a. small ham with
a large share of Iran compared with
fat. As the proportion of salt -carry-
ing lean meat increased, a much mild-
er system of curing became necessary.
The great change in the system of
curing, and the resultant enormous
irerease in the consumption of break-
fast hacon, had the effect of calling
-renewed attention to the formation of
the pigs for slaughter and also to the
proportion and quality of the meat
on the various portions of the carcase.
The demand arose for' fat pigs longer
in the body, better developed in the
hind quarters and lighter in the fore
t nd. The breeders of Tamworth have
greatly improved their pigs of late
years in lightening the fore puarters
Lied lengthening the back, but further
nib ration to these paints and to the
shape of the ham might he advant-
ageous, as it is considered that in the
fi,ture the production of the hacon
pig will at least be as ierp"rtanc a
point to be studied by the pig breeder
at that of the pork pig."
BACON BREEDS HAI) LARGEST
LITTERS AMONG PUREBREDS.
The Department of Animal Hus-
bandry at the Ontario Agricultural
Ctllege, has recently reported on an
iris estigation held to reveal the aver-
age number of pigs farrowed by pure
hied sows of seven hreeds. In the
fa) of 1921 a record was taken of 701
Yorksire litters and 1039 Berkshire
litters. The former averaged 11.22.
pigs ar►d the latter 9.02 pigs per lit-
ter. The facts opened up a wider
fit Id. Two students in their senior
year during 1921 therefore had under
rinse observation 5,000 litters, com-
prising 801) litters each of the seven
bosh known hreeds, Yorkshire, Tant-
w'orth, Berkshire, ilampshire, ('hest-
rr White, Dome .Jersey and Poland
China. The farrawings numbered
49,4110 pigs, ,u. an average per litter
o:' 8.82 for a'twelve months' period.
This average is higher than most
people wnuld believe," Prof. Wade
Toole stated,- "and serves to place
pu;e-bred swine in a better light than
many see them. Farmers are prone
to complain of low fecundity in highly
hied stock. But when 5,000 litters of
pigs from pure bred sows and pure -
hied boars of seven different breeds
average 8.82 pigs per litter the pure -
le ed sig, so far as fecundity is con-
cerned, stands ah'hve criticism."
'While some hreeds are more pro-
ductive than others it will be poticed
fi ern the table below that each breed
has a creditable record:
Bacon Type:— Average
per litter
1. Yorkshire 10.2
2. Tamworth 9.4
Non -Bacon Type: -
3. Chester White 9.3
4. Duroc Jersey 8.4
5. Berkshire.. .. .... 8..1
. 6. Hampshire .... .... 8.3
7. Poland China 8.0
Besides proving that each breed as
observed was fairly prolific the table
shows that the bacon breeds lend.
with the Yorksire at the top. This
is important in Canada, where the
bacon hog is most in demand. In a
comment on the record Prof. -Toole
adds:
"The results show that while all of
our recognized pure-bred breeds are
throwing good litters the hacon hreeds
are leading. An average of from one
t.o two pigs per litter increase in trn-
per'tant. Pure-bred swine are pro-
lific. Canadian sows can and do pro-
duce large litter's. Possibly there is
more in strain than in breed in regard
to size of litters but the average is
in favor of the Yorkshire and the
Tcmworth."
"Some think that the Canadian ell -
male is tau severe fir the hest results
in swine. This may be so, but the
results of investigational work cov-
ering 85,000 litters in the United
States showed a jltter average of 8.17.
While not so runny litters were stud-
ied in Canada our average of tt 82
pigs. per litter looks favorable."
Other interesting information was
revealed in the work. The percent-
age in the 49,400 pigs studied, for
instance, ran 48 males and 52 fe-
males, showing that the balance of
the sexes is fairly well controlled in
nature. The maximum litters were
farrowed i n ,January, February,
March, September and October, but
the month did not seem to have a
very marked effect upon the number
of pigs actually farrowed. Sows far-
rowed just. as large litters in winter
al in summer. Condition at time of
service had more effect upon size of
litter than time of farrowing. There
seemed however, to he more or less
falling off in size of litters farrowed
in November and December. •
"All classes of pigs have done well
and the breeding herds of Yorkshires,
Tamworths and Berkshires are in a
very strong position. An effort is
being successfully made to breed all
three breeds according to the new
hacon standards. The experiment in
feeding salt so far shows that very
little is required by feeder pigsi those
weighing 125 lbs. using at their own
free ;Will about .08 ounces daily, but
that those allowed free access to salt
do better than those getting no min-
eral after a rather prolonged period.

SUPPLIES OF CATTLE HEAVIER
THIS YEAR
Decided increase in receipts of
cattle at the principal live stock
markets in Canada for the first two
months of 1923, as compared with
the same period of 1922. is the oat•
standing feature of the monthly're-
port compiled by the 1'nion Stock
Yards, Toronto. for February. The
figures show a total of 12228,082 cattle
at Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Ed-
monton, Calgary and Moose .law, conr-
hined, up to the end of last month
as against 94,080 in the same time
last year.
In February alone, despite mon'
severe weather than has occurred in
thatmonth for several years past,
the cattle receipts at the above men-
tioned points this year exceeded those
of February, 1922, by 11,427 head.
I Figures for the different markets
indicates the discouraging condition
of the cattle industry in the Western
Provinces, as the increase in re-
ceipts for both January and Feb-
ruary occurred mainly at Western
points—that at Winnipeg for the two
months amounting to 17,951 head, ns
compared with 4,220 at Toronto,
where the volume of trade is by far
1 tie heavier year in and year nut. The
only market showing a decrease in
receipts is that at. Montreal (East
I End) which had 6,594 rattle in the
first two months of 1922 and 1,410
lin January and February, 1923.
