Can this -country develop a profitable export trade in live stook products? If so, how would such a trade affect Canada and wnatadvantage will it yield to the Canadian farmer? What:opportunities present themselves In the way of for- eign business as a result of our partici- pation in the wary Will more or bet- ter poultry, hogs, sheep, cattle, horses insure any profit or benefit to the man who owns and raises them? Will eys- tematic or organized action in :reed- ing, feeding and selling be of any ser- vice in making Canada henceforth a powerful factor in the world's product business? If anyone is interested, either in the town or on the farm, in the problems which each or all of these questions raise, he should secure and read a copy of Pamphlet No. 19, "Production and Markets", written by the Live Stock Commissioner and the Assistant Live Stock Commissioner and recently is- sued by the Live Stook Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. The pamphlet has the unique feature of dealing not only with the question of production, but as well, with tbe equally important problem of markets. We think that every farmer in Cana- da should at once carefully read a copy of this publication. It is issued at a moment when a careful study of the existing market situation should prove of great value to owners of breeding stock of all classes. Applica- tion for copies should be made to the Publications Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Canada's Record To the Editor: - Before it had received the news of the splendid success of Prohibition movement in the official organ of the American Anti -Saloon League, had an editorial entitled " Canada's virile res- ponse " in which the situation, this side of the boundary line was referred to in the following terms: - Canada ae an integral part of the British Empire, is in the midst of a struggle to the death :for National existence. The best blood of the Dominion is being spattered all over the hills of northern France. The fathers and mothers gladly give up their sons; girls • give up their sweethearts, and wives give up their husbands. The tax payers dig deep into their pockets and all wonder what else they can do. While patriotism is ablaze from Vancouver to Quebec what are the rum sellers doing? They areinterven- ing to dock their country's efforts. Did Canada snivel and cringe and stutter and wriggle and crawl concer- ning this? Not much. Alberta led off by • wiping out the saloone of the entire Province. Then along came Saskatchewan with au anti -bar law, closing every dram ehapin ber boundaries. Then the people of Manitoba enacted a state wide prohibition law with a two to one majority. Then the Legislature of Nova Scotia met and enacted a state wide law for that Province. Now British Columbia is planning to oust the disloyal traffic from ber boundaries. In the hear of public trouble wheth- er it be in a municipal riot or whether it be a world wide war, the first step necessary to success is to close the dir- ty dram shop. Like the Typhus, the saloon is at ways an evil and a source of trouble, but this evil is accentuated in the hour of public distress. Canada's response to this challenge of alcohol Is worthy a great, a magnifi- cent people. Our hats are off to the Oanucks". (From the Pioneer) }1. Arnott, M. B, M. 0. P.S. The Only One The ladies try to catch the eye With hats and dresses new. The college lad is just as bad And airs his -fashions too. But, afier a{i, in spring or fall, This truth remaineth. still; The soldier boy's the only guy ° That's all dressed up to kill. JUNIOR MAJOR 161ST • 0 aS P. MAJOR I. 8.

And so to some the chance bas come To face the Gorman blighters, On Sunday worn, at break of day Our boys were called to order And fitted out to j sin the fray On yonder Belgium border. Not one man tried to shirk his post, Each man was there, and willing No stouter hearts did man possess Than these, our ranks were filling.: Two hundred brave, stout-hearted men Were sent across the sea To join the gallant R. 0.

And now they seek another draft To join the famed 181h, The boys who came from our home town, Yes, Canada's brave 18th. I say they seek another draft And not one man refused Who'd qualified in musketry, All wanted to be used. And so the -draft is formed and soon They, too, will sail away, To join the boys on Belgian soil And help to win the day, For England, home and motherland, For liberty from strife. Let's pray our boys may go right through . Without much loss of life. We can't have many left, you say; Well; No, they're nigh all gone. And if they ask another draft There simply will be none. Our noble, gallant 33rd Will be completely split. But we shall once again unite When each man's done his bit. And when they call the muster roll. I trust we'll all be there With deeds of valour on our list, The glory we will share. Then once again we'll cress the sea To friends we love so dear, Till then may; God direct our feet, And keep us in his care. SOCIAL HOSTESS ABOARD H. H. Gildersleeve manager of the Northern Navigation Company, ann- ounces that a social hostess will be ab- oard the Naranjo, Harmonic, and Hur- onic, the three palatial steamers of the company. The social hostess is found aboard some of the Atlantic Passenger Steamers, but it is said the Northern Navigation Company is the first eteam- er line on the Great Lakes to provide social hostess to assist in arranging entertainments and amusements for the guests, "The social hostess is the newest idea inaugurated for the further pleasure of the Northern Navigation Company Passengers," said Mr. Gildersleeve to- day. - "Social interest is one of the keenest attractions for the traveller on the Seas. hundreds of people - before the voyage, perfect strangers to each other - are associated together in a sort of big family for several days at a time. Many lasting friendships are engendered on ehipborrd. Congenial companions envoyage gather together for amusement and entertainment." We have long felt the need of some person with tack and unassuming pop- ularity to help onr patrons to become acquainted early in the trip." "The duties of therNorthern Navig. ation Social Hostess aro to arrange concerts, entertainments. assist in forming bridge partly?, contests in walking on promenade decks, dancing parties, stunts for shore partiee,in fact she is aboard to help make the time pass more quickly."

Caused a Drop in the Vegetable, Egg, Poultry, and Hog Produc- tion; but Dairy Products, Live- stock, Fruit, and Drains There Was n Big increase :Evaporators Kept Busy. BRITISH COLUMBIA is not naturally a grain province, and for that reason agricul- tural production was not characterized by the some- what spectacular features of the 1915 crop on the prairies; yet this Province made noteworthy advances in agriculture in 1915. In 1914 the value of farm products imported into British Columbia was $19,000,000. The value in 1915 was 35 per cent. less, truly an astonishing decrease and representing a decided economic benefit to the province, Coming down to actual figures, weather and market conditions were such that of vegetables, eggs, poul- try, and hogs there was a drop in total production. In dairy products, livestock, fruit, and grains, however, there were increases in some in- stances phenomenal. During the year for instance—so reports the statistical branch of the department of thirty-five to forty per cent. Weather conditions reduced the vegetable yield. The total acreage planted of all varieties, considering the province as a whole, was about as in 1914. Extremely dry weather in the coast districts, however, led to a production there 40 per cent. below normal. The size of the grain crop as com- pared with former years has already been commented on. ' Government figures show that the total yield was about 30 per cent. above that of 1914. Prices have ruled 20 per cent. lower, but nevertheless the total value of the grain crop represents a considerable increase, Efforts of Okanagan Valley farmers, who, after a discouraging fruit season, turned to mixed farming, had much to do with the jump in grain production. The yield of hay was about aver- age, notwithstanding a decrease in area consequent on the activity in grain growing. An excellent curing season resulted in a crop of ex- ceptional quality. Prices have been a little below average. In 1915 the value of the fruit crop was 60 per cent. greater than in 1914, better prices and a heavier pro- duction jointly being responsible. Livestock, on the whole, increased in numbers. Beef cattle men had a fine grazing season. The year, altogether, was from a crop production stand- point, encouraging. r. The increases made were in no small measure a re- sult of the "Patriotism and Produc- tion" campaign waged in the spring. Getting away fr6m total produc- tion particulars, which really do not half tell the story of the changed spirit of the agricultural industry here, there are several things con- nected with the farming future of the province worthy of mention. For instanie, evaporating plants now running are using in a month •more produce than heretofore has been dessicated in a year. One such plant at Vernon the writer has alluded to in previous correspondence. Now another plant is to start in the Delta having a war contract which will re- quire approximately 4,000 tons of potatoes, 4,000 tons of onions, 400 tons of turnips, and a large quan- tity of white beans and green peas. This company began to place con- tracts for future delivery about March first. The •.. wonderful capabilities of the province are sensed now, but only half appreciated. The big territory of the North Thompson, of which Kamloops is the trading centre, in the future will become, perhaps, the horse raising centre of Canada.. Be- fore the war broke out its suitability for this class of farming was only vaguely realized. To -day the ranch- ers are fully alive to their oppor- tunities. The showing of livestock at the district fair was the hest seen in British Columbia the past season, numbering 423 splendid animals, 212 of which were horses. Two of the three highest -priced horses bought in British Columbia by the remount officers were -bred in the vicinity of Kamloops, and the number of pur- chases at this point were greater than at any other place in the pro- vince. It is safe to say that never before has the Provincial Department of Agriculture been so active in assist- ing farmers. Just at present the department is giving a good deal of attention to the organization of boys and girls clubs, known as Junior Farmers' Institutes, In the past in this province juvenile clubs and club contests have not received as much attention as in some other Canadian provinces, although quite a number of potato contests baVe been held. Agricultural work of an educational character among young people is now recognized in tither parts of Canada and in the United States as of great importance. These junior farmer$ institutes about to be Organized will have sev- eral advantages over the kind of clubs previously made the vehicle of instructional work. Heretofore club work has only been attempted in those districts having farmers in- stitutes. Ir} the future, the junior institutes will be under the super- vision of farmers' institutes where such exist and in other places will be supervised by some public official ,r responsible citizen. The minimum membership is to be ten, and the age of members is to be ten to seventeen years, The coming years these Juvenile organizations will hold contests in Jig raising, corn, potatoes, market :nd flower gardening, and poultry keeping. The organizations them- selves will choose the subjects of :onipetition. Jokes en the Men. Mrs, As --Do you ever rend the jokes 'h the newspapers? 11irs.

DOMINION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE In virtually any dairy district, pro- bably among the herds supplying one factory, it is possible to find contrasts running something like this: one herd of 14 cows gives on the average 7,782 lb milk and 2481b fat, while a neigh- bour's herd of 14 cows averages only 4,037 lb milk and 155 Ib. fat. Indeed, in looking over the records in eleven district the average difference between the high herd averages and the low ones amounted to 4,6301b tnilk and 140 fat per cow. This is certainly an ex• Unordinary difference, and indicates that it will pay to calculate what cows can do. Take it another way: in 1011, sixty patrons of two creameries began this eow calculation, cow testing. It was found in 1015 that their herds had made a gain over their 1013 record of 71 pounds of fat per cow, a gain of eight per cent. But on the other hand the 1013 patrons of the same two creameries who did not go in for calcu- lations fell off 87 pounds of fat per cow, seventeen per cent, If the men not cow testing had made gains with their cows in the two years as those made who were testing, it would have meant an increase in the output of 58,302 pound° of butter! It pays to test. Record forma are furnished free of, charge ori applica- tion to the Dairy Division, Ottawa.

SEEDING DONE IN THE WEST The many friends of Mr. and Mrs, Solomon Cloe key will be interested readers of the following letter which the editor of Tia ADVANCE received from them a few days ago: May 30th, 1916 Dear Sir: Just tt line to let you know our new address and have you forward us our paper which we enjoy on its arrival, we have been getting one occasionly on our travels but are now settled and hope to get it every week. We had a pleasant trip and arrived here in Moose Jaw on April 15th just to find spring opening up nicely, the snow was nearly all gone and some had started seeding, we have had nice weather ever since till last week, we had three or four days good rain, which will mean millions to this part of the country. The farmers are near- ly through seeding and most of them have very large crops, will average from three to four hundred acres to each farmer, and crops look excellent now and if nothing happens there will be an immense harvest, Wages are very high and will be higher if the crops come on as they now promise to by their appearance. There is consider- aole building going on among the far- mers though the cities are tied up, much the saute as Old Ontario, on account of the war, The war still continues, it is surprising the numter of soldierswe see in every city. Truly the West has given freely of her young manhood to aid in quashing the Huns. There was a big day here in Moosejaw two weeks ago, when a good many thousand enldiers were present. It was the presentation of the colors to the 128th Battalion of Moose Jaw. Wishing you and our many friends of the surrounding community suc- oess. We remain Yours truly Mrs. V. Solomon Cloakey. AMiamman PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS On Saturday evening, May 271b, a hastily called meeting was held in the Wroxeter town hall and the soldier e of the Wroxeter contingent of the Hurons were presented with an ad- dress and each soldier with a five dol- lar bill. The address was read by Mr. W, S. McKercher and (Rev) Corp. T. M. Wesley replied on behalf of the men. Following is the address: To the Soldiers of the Wroxeter Con. tingent of the 161st Batt. -Hurons: We, the citizens of Wroxeter and District are delighted to have you back among us if only for a few days. You have shown the patriotic spirit in promptly taking uy arms for the de- fence of our Empire, homes and loved ones and we feel that the splendid spirit shown by the Canadians who have been in the thick of the fight will be equalled by each one of you. Re- member General French's words after the battle of Ypres: "It was the Can- adians that saved the day." You have shown by your conduct while among us the kind of men you are and may it alpays be said of you that your conduct was the best under every circumstance, We are all proud of you, proud to flee you go and wil be proud to see you return in health and safety in the near future, We ask you to accept this small gift as a token of our pride and apprecia- tion and we want you tote remember Wroxeter, Howick, Turnberry, Grey and your friends, and be sure that al- though we cannot go with you our hearts are with you as you go across the sea, brave boys in khaki.

A serious problem, in regard to the f procuring of adequate supplies of fishery salt for curing purposes for the coming season, is exercising the minds of the Newfoundland fisher folk. The Colony.- requires about 60,000 tons of this salt every year for the curing of the fish taken around its shores. The salt comes largely from Sicily and Spain, and about one-third of it is brought by the schooners which take cargoes of cured codfish back to various Medi- terranean countries. Tho remainder has to be conveyed in steamers. In ordinary years no difficulty is found in this; but for the coming season great concern is felt owing to the growing scarcity of ships and the Prospect of the Admiralty command- eering likely vessels. It is under- stood that the Government will make representations to the Admiralty, and also take steps to provide that if the regular dealers will import and sell without any advance in prier save what is represented by the in- creased freights the Government will take power at the conning reesion 01 the Legislature to commandeer all stocks of salt which may be purchas- ed at a later date' and brought to the Colony at prices which would com- pete with the salt so obtained, pay- ing the importers of it the actual cost of the article and the cost of freight, but allowing them no profit, and will hold the salt until the sea- son of 1917 and then dispose of it to the flsherfolk all around the island at the same rate.
