Fredericton, N.B.—A meeting of livo stock rrien of the province was. herd here recently, when the matter of importing purebred sheep and parses for breeding purposes was Bis stressed: It was also decided to form • sheep 'club in connection with the ft -operative marketing of wool. Montreal, Quo.—Removal of theem- bargo m-ba 'go against Canadian cattle has created a- big demand for shipping space on the part of British buyers,; according to reliable information from' the Shipping Federation offices here. Last year there were • only two or three cattle boats a week sailing from Montreal. 'With the latest stimula- tion of the trade, shippingofficials look for an increase of at least 100 per cent. hi the number of steamers sailing from this pot weekly. - Toronto, Ont.—According to the lat- est legal directory,rthis city harbors 597 law firms, as against :515 a year ago. The local army of individual barristers and solicitors is said to be 1,200 strong. It is estimated that there are 2,428 lawyers in Ontario, so, that Toronto has about ono -hal.; of that distinguished contingent. Winnipeg, Man.—There was an in- crerse of 51 per cent.: in the inaznigin tion into Canada for February just passed, over the corresponding month of last year. The total immigration for the month was 3,290, as compared; with 2,183 for February, 1922. From Britain there came 1,356 compared with 509 a year ago; from the United. States 722, compared with 1,078 a year ago; and from "other countries" 1,212, as compared with 566 a; year ago.

Regina, Sask.—Several hundred new silos were constructed in Saslat- chew -an last year, and indications are that the number erected in 1923 will equal if not exceed that number. In all parts of the province there is real enthusiasm as to the possibilities of sunflowers as: an ensilage crop and of sweet clover as a hay and pasture crop and the coming season will undoubted ly-see an increase of several thousand, acres over last year's acreage planted. to these forage crops. Vancouver,; B.C.-There' was a pro- duction of over ten million .dollars in gold and silver in the northwest dis- tricts of British Columbia in the year 1922, representing an increase of more than fiftyper cent. over the previous year. So many properties have been brought practically to -the-production g point that the coming season should see exceptional progress. Change in Irninv.Tation ,Act.. A change has recently been effected in the immigration laws of Canada which, Whilst not drastic, should have the effect of facilitating to some ex- tent the flow of new peoples to Cana - 1 da through the removal of a clause which has in : the past worked certain hardships and in many worthy eases n,., .00nstitute:d itself a certain handicap !to entrance.

Considerable discussion took place in Dail :Eireann Thursday over the position of the Free State army, the contention having been raised in some quarters 'that- the military branch is not sufficiently under civil control.

The total fur catch' for that' year was ovor'4,000,000 pelts, valued. at ' $16;000,000. • While ` the' general' price of raw furs shows a downward trend, the total catch shows a`remark' able increase.

A silver tag attached to the dorsal. fin of a salmon before its release after the eggs have been removed at 'the Dominion Government -hatcheries is one of the methods resorted to by the Fisheries Department for tracing life history of the fish. A reward of $1 is paid by the Department for the re- turn of silver tags that are being at- tached to the Atlantic salmon together with some scales from the side of the.. fish, and particulars regarding their length,weight and place of recapture. A total of 18,873 farmers ,paid in- come tax to the Federal Treasury in theear. 1922, and of all the Y Saskatchewan, last :year, had the greatest number of tax -paying farm- ers, with a total ,of6.560.

New Brunswick, 48; Nova Scotia, 198; Prince. Edward leland, 40; Quebec, 150; and Yukon, 3. All arrangements have been com plated between the Dominion Govern- ment and the Overseas Settlement Committee for the emigration of •chil- clren, domestics, and nominated adults from Britain under the $600,000 ap; propriation made by the Canadian Parliament.

The impulse to found libraries -so we learn from Mr. A. B. Farquhar in the First Million the Hardest—came 'oto hiin when he wee' only a messenger -boy. Early ,one morning, says, Mr. Farqu- har, Carnegie was sent with a dispatch, to Mr. Anderson, the steel master et Allegheny, with instructions to wait for an answer. Mr. Andcrson liad re- turned late the night before, and the butler said he could not'wake -him. Young Carnegie welled into thea, library and became immerged, in a volume on steel making and the tre- mendous advantages of steel over iron. When Mr. Andersonfinall ' came clow y n with his: answer the -boy turned and ap•olo ized, for'haviu taken the book. P g g Mr. Anderson asked • whether he was interested%' in steel. "Oh, yes, it is fascinating to me," Carnegie replied.'• „Carnegie the book home and read it and return It when you are through with it,' said Mr, 'Anderson. Carnegie did so -and ways told to take another;then 1lir. Anderson , said he might have access„ to the library. Car- negie said ;to mo` that then' and ;,here he made up lila•-mind that .if he ever beeamo wealthy heswould found, ,y libraries and give ounmen the same opportunity that he was enjoying. After Rana.
