The Huron Expositor, 1933-12-22, Page 2CANADA'S EXPORT
CATTLE TRA)
By J. R, SCOTT
(Continued from last week.)
'But for the present, and until con-
ditions change, Great Britain is the
only available market for the surplus
cattle of this country. Therefore, the
Canadian producer should endeavor
to supply to that market the type and
weight of cattle that will 'be most
profitable for themselves. In 1931 we
shipped to/Britain between eight and
ten thousand head; in 1932, seven-
teen thousand head, and in this year,
since navigation just •a little over 50,-
000 head of cattle. So you see a nice
trade is developing. '
One dominating feature of the Brit-
ish cattle markets for years has been
the supplies of Irish cattle. Ireland,
you know, is the greatest cattle pro-
ducing country for its size in all the
world. Why, in 1930 Ireland' export-
ed to !Great 'Britain a little over
000.000; in 1931, 8'00,0001 head, and
in 1932, 700,000 head, and commission
cattle salesmen 'in Britain believe that
this decrease will continue for a few
years 'more, and it's these circum-
stances that are giving cattle produc-
ers in Canada mite a hopeful outlook
as far as the British., market is con-
cerned.
There are two causes for this de-
crease in stepnlies of Irish cattle.
First. the a'ricultural policy of the
g'ov'ernment of the Irish Free State
for the last year or two, has been to
encourage the Free State farmers to
plow up their pasture' lands and pro-
duce grain, "wheat, oatsa..and barley;
products that have been imported in-
to Ireland in quite large quantities
for many years..
'Second, the ser nus political difficul-
ties that have existed between the
governments of Great Britain and the
Irish Free State have caused a heavy
duty to be placed on Irishtt'e, and
'•a
these two circumstances le having
the effect of reducing supplies of
Irish cattle. Now, Canada is !the
country best situated to make np this
shortage of live cattle to the British
market, because it has been proven
long ago that live cattle cannot be
shipped from the Argentine without
serious losses; they cannot survive
the trip ,across the •$quator.
As a con.senaerce of that the Ar-
gentine Republic has developed, a
chilled meat trade with Britain, but
that class of meat is not fancied by
a great many of the British people.
and does not come into competition
with our live cattle trade, so that
when all these circumstance are con-
sidered, I think we can look forward
to a fair market for 'Canadian cattle
in Great Baw,itain for the next few
years.
Cattle salesmen in the British mar-
kets predict a rise in prices as soon
as general conditions improve a little
and hope the Canadian 'producers will
he in a position to reap the benefit.
And to obtain the best results it will
be necessary to market their cattle
evenly througho'u't the 'year and not
rush too' many forward during the
warm summer months.
Now, as to the type and weight of
cattle best adapted for the ,British
market. • As to type there is no ques-
tion, all cattle should be of the best
beef conformation; it is absolutely
foolish to send cattle of the dairy
type or breed. As to weight, there
seems to 'be quite a difference of opin-
ion. Some article's we have seen in
our newspapers, within the last year
or two, have all been in favor of the
light weight cattle, from 1050 lbs. up
to 1200 lbs. A lirttle. personal experi-
ence is the way to find out.
(About the middle of July this year,
when cattle suffered quite a slump on
our Toronto market, and the future
looked anything but good, we had 70
fair steers on pasture ready to go,
at least the top of them were. We
were going to get a proper trimming
if w•e shipper) those cattle to -Toron-
to. wi'th'out a doubt, We began to en-
quire about ocean space and found it
hard to get, but finally, -through the
influence of a friend, we secured 40
epaces on the S. S. Airthria for Glas-
gow, sailing on the 10th of August.
These cattle averaged in weight 1362
pounds the day we shipped them, and
were uneven in weight. The twenty.
heaviest cattle would be 1450 pound,
average in weight, at least; the other
20 were real good quality., steers, per-
haps a trifle over 1200 'pounds on the
average.
. 'When the returns came 'back for
those cattle, we were surprised to find
that the 'big fellows had topped the
sale. They were sold through the auc-
tion sale king in Glasgow and a de-
scription of each pair sold and the
price received, was sent back along
with the settlement statement and
cheque. The 'big Mows netted back
the best price nor pound all down the
lige. This jexpe'rience was beneficial
all around. Because when an oppor-
tunity came to organize a shipment
of over 200 cattle in October,• we
had no 'hesitation in sdliciting the
shipment of heavy cattle, and our ac-
tion in this regard has been amply
justified by the returns received, for
'again the heavy cattle netted hack
the best price per pound on their
home weight, and" we had a lot of
cattle just around the 1400 , pound
average, and one load of exception-
ally good cattle averaging 1520 lbs.
and they netted back the best price
of the whole shipment for a full load
of steers,
While I do not advise the feeding of
cattle till they weigh 1500 pounds at
all, for it costs too much, but if any
of you happen to have them and the
quality 'is right, you need have no
fear about :rending them across. One
thing. I observed aro5und the markets
over there this time is that the do

In the previous chapter, the pro-
phet had represented the Assyrian
]monarch and his army under the im-
age of a dense and flourishing forest
with all its glory and grandeour. In
opposition to this, he describes the
illustrious personage who is the sub-
ject of this chapter; under the im-
age of a slender shoot sprouting up
from the root of a decayed and fall-
en tree. The one seats- at first mag-
nificent, yet should soon fall and
decay; the other was the little sprout
of a decayed tree, which should yet
rise, expand and flourish. It means
that he who is here spoken of should
be of the family of Jesse or David,

in the fact that it was participated

n'ot need our cattle too fat. About
one half of this heavy load I speak
of were too fat. "D•auiby". the Old
Country cattlemen call them `Patchy"
we call them here.
:Perhaps' I had better describe just
the condition I 'mean for the 'best re ,,
sults. Cattle that will dress out -from
56 to 58 pounds to the hundred are
fat enough for the Old Country trade
to -day and +will sell better, I feel sure,
tan if they were 60 'pounds to the
hundred or more. In discussing this
matter with Mr. 'Brown, our sales-
man in Birkenhead, just the night be-
fore we sailed for home, he stressed
thio point: Send us boatloads ,of cat-
tle all weights, between 1100 aid 1400
pounds live weight, good quality with
a dressing percentage 'of 56 or 58
pounds to the hundred and we will
return you satisfactory price, And
endeavor, and he was quite emphatic
'on this point, to equalize your ship-
ment's throughout the year, and' do
rot crowd too many 'cattle on us in
the warm summer months, The Irish
cattle are bound to ease off in sup-
ply and we want your cattle to take
their place, and we will' need them
evenly distributed throughout .the
year. And there you have the advice
of cattle salesmen in Britain gener-
ally.
Now, about feeder cattle for the
Old 'Country trade. Our 'Ontario bred
steer 'of good quality from 850 to
1000 ,pound's, is very popular with the
British feeder, and there is quite a -
preference, especially in Scotland, for
the Shorthorn and the Polled Angus
breed's. The white faces are not the
recognized Scottish breeds and can-
not cone hack when finished and sell
in the markets of Scotland as. -home -
fed cattle and consequently -''are not
as much favored,, a, the Shorthorns
or the AngusdThere 'was practically
no feeder trade while we were there.
Some eat'tl we expected to sell as
feeders. were worth inure money to
.go to the block. The feeder trade is
a trade that the Western . cattle
ranchers are going after. We met the
reessagin'm director of their organiza-
tion in Birkenhead the week we left.
H'e
had just delivered to a feeder in
Northumberland 'a boatload of feeder
cattle, 550 in number, and I had a
'letter from 'him since arriving home
and he had made another sale of 31
carloads and they are on .the water
now. If these cattle do well for the
feeders there, no doubt the 't'estern
fellows will • 'be able to dispose 'of
suite a number 'of their cattle in this
way.
The Scotch and En•glis7ji"cattle feed-
ers are in much the seine .boat, as
cattle feeders in Ontario. They have
'been making no money for a year or
two and are buying their feeder cat-
tle worth the Money or stayirg out
of the game and until conditions
change, there may not be many cat-.
tie for feeding purposes shipped a-
cross the water from Ontario for
some little time, I believe the On-
tario farmer will 'get better return's
if he finishes his cattle ;at home and'
then send them across. At least it
has worked out that way this year.
for I know of 'a few shi)3mleets of
feeder cattle that we bought in To-
ronto and 'they lost •a' bit of money
and the game was called 'off. '
IIn conclusion, I believe we will have
a fairly decent trade with the Old
Country for` a few years. They will
be able to take our cattle and return
,us prices about on a par with what
we have received• this season. It is
not wise to expect any boom at all,
as general conditions' •do not warrant
•it, We are not ping out of the cattle
business in 'Canada; we cannot do
that. Our farms will continue to
produce cattle as in the past and af-
ter home requirements are looked af-
ter, the British market will take our
surplus and net 'us satisfactory re-
turns, if ,we ship the right class of
stock.
We had a very pleasant trip across
the Atlantic 'but seasickness was a
disturbing feature, but fortunately,
however, not to an alarming extent.
On the outward trip, our gang was
always able to function and gave the
cattle all the 'attention required and
landed them in number one condition.
No doubt 'as the years go by, and our
Old Country trade hold's out, similar
sh'ipm'ents will be going forward and
an opportunity given to' some more
of our young men to see the land„ of.
their forefathers? at a reasonable cost.
I was not as fortunate on the home-
ward trip as far as seasickness was
concerned, as it laid hold of pie -ra-
ther 'heavily, and .perhaps the less
said about' it the `better. But I can
only tell you, gentlemen, that if sea-
sickness takes hold of you in its
acute form, it is a nauseating and an
abominable malady and ori experi-
ence you do not forget for a day or
two. ;But after you get your feet
planted firmly once more on Canadian
soil and get your land legs back a-
gain, you forget a lot of it and when
I consider the veracious appetite I
have developed within the last two
weeks, I feel amply cmnpen's'atbd for
the torture's I endured. And if a
similar opportunity should present -it-
self within the next .few years, to
cross the Atlantic with a string of
good cattle. I 'believe I would take a
chance on it ,just once more and see
again that glorious land, and those
wonderful people I have previously
described to you.

AFTER BABY C
Mother Prat on Weight
TELLS HOW SHE GOT
BACK TO NORMAL'
"Before having my baby," writes a
young mother, "I weighed 140 lbs.
Afterwards—to my great dismay --I
weighed • 175 lbs„ and gradually
increased 'to 183. lbs. Then I read of
Iiruschen Salts (six 'weeks ago), and
I decided to try thetas, at the same
time dispensing with sugar, potatoes
and white 'bread.
"To my great joy, when I weighed
last Wednesday, it went 169!' lbs. I
feel'so jubilant in the thought that if
I keep on with this, I shall regain my
normal weight, and once again be
able to go in for the sports and pas-

There are six vital mineral salts in
Iiruschen. These salts combat the
cause of fat by assisting th 'eternal
organs to perform their f times
properly—to throw off each day those
waste products and poisons which, if
allowed to accumulate, will be con-
verted by the body's chemistry into
fatty tissue.
Kruschen Salts do not reduce you ov-
ernight—like so many products claim
ME
to do. But taken regularly over a
period of ti'm'e—with a 'modified diet
and gentle exercise, half a teaspoon-
ful in a 'glass of hot water every
morning before breakfast will take•
away unhealthy flesh and restore
your figure.to., its normal weight.
Kruschen 'Salts is obtainable at alt
Drug. Stores at 45c and 75c per bottle-
