Live Stock Figures
According to authoritative fjg-

follows: Horses, $82,000,000; cat
tle, $120,000,000; sheep, $7,000,000
swine, $14,000,000; poultry, $18,-

ARMISTICE DAY APART
FROM THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving Day this year will1"
likely be wholly distinct from Arm—
istiSe Day. As. formerly, the Govern
ment will fix a day -and issue a pro
clamation calling for its observance.
The change is due to the act of
Parliament introduced by A. ’ W.
Neill, M.P., who was always insistent.'
that Armistice Day should be ob
served on November 11, quite apart
from Thanksgiving, In late years-
by law the latter festival lias" been
on the Monday of the week in which-
November 11 occurred and commonly
they were merged, The new act
calls November 11 “Remembrance-
Day” and provides for its observance^
on that date whatever may be the-
day of the week. It makes no men
tion of Thanksgiving1, The Govern
ment could fix the latter for tfie-
same date, as “Remembranlce Day”?
but this is unlikely Thp, sense of'
Parliament was that they should be-
distinct and October was favored for/
Thanksgiving.

New Market for Lambs
de-One of the’ most interesting
velopments or trends of the present
time is the extent to which tourist
traffic is providing new outlets for
farm products. The visitor evidently
'prefers the best in quality and in
sists on having it supplied fresh.
This demand is -making itself felt in
collection with almost all farm pro
ducts, but this year it is .particularly
noticeable in’ connection with the
heavy demand for .fresh lamb and
mutton. Despite, the fact that there
has been a fairly heavy marketing
of lambs, and that these have liad
io -compete with -considerable quan
tities of imported frozen lamb, the
tourist demand lias taken care of
practically all the fresh product as
fast as it lias come onto the market.
Fly Spray Valuable
The importance of fly spray
cattle is definitely shown in
following statement by a well-known
Oxford dairyman:
"Our herd had not been sprayed
for two or three days and the milk
flow . had been materially affected.
The first day aftea' spraying there
was 22 pounds more milk and the
second day the hem was up* 42
pounds. This rate was maintained
for about a week. While other fac
tors may have been partly respon
sible, I believe the increase was
largely due to the fly spray. This
increase was not much on twenty
cows, but it more than paid for our
investment in fly spray at 90 cents
per gallon.
