Canadian manufactories has now
found favor in forty-four foreign
lands arid the reputation of -Canada's
manufactured goods is still in the
ascendant. The products of Canadian
farm -lands have a yet more extensive
list of customere,
It has been recognized among trade
marts that this great demand' for
Canadian 'goods has, to some extent,
developed in ,spite of certain handi-
caps 1Cenada has placed in her own
way, and may be taken as a tribute to
the high excellency of the Canadian
product in itself whilst criticizing the
•method of marketing, Canadian ex -
platers have not devoted sufficient at-
tention to the peculiar needs of for-
eign markets or taken steps to meet,
on an equal footing, the competition
of other countries in these markets.
Canada's trade commissioners abroad
have unceasingly pointed out oppor-
tunities,which were being paesed over
and travellers in foreign countries
brought to notice deiriarids for Can-
adian produce which were not met.
Of late much greater attention has
been paid to the everseas markets,
especially since the coming into effect
of the United States tariff, which bar-
red certain Candian products from the
American market to which they had
become accustomed, and there has de-
veloped a nalization that certain
-beetle defect must be remedied and
Canadian goods overseas made to ap-
peal' in a more attractive manner to
customers in order that Canada shall
be in- a position to adequately meet
the competition of other countries and
maintain that prestige she has achiev-
ed. The priecipal market in question
is, of course, the United, tingdom, and
the, Principal mtports to that Country
of •an agricultural nature. According-
ly Dr. 'T. H. Grisdale, the Deputy Min-
ister of Agriculttire, recently made
an insiestigation of trade conditions in
Great Britain, and certain improve-
ments and innovations will accrue in
consequence. •
Num) OP IMPROVED APPEARANVE.
He fmend that Canada was not mak-
ing the same improvement in the ap-
pearance and quality of her agricul-
tural exports as some other exporting
countries such as Denrnark, Holland,
Australia, South Africa and Argen-
tina. The consequence is that whilst
the superiority of Canadian produce
is frequently acknowledged by experts,
eoinpetitive produce often looks better
and therefore sells better than the
Ceeadian. He sees a datger of Can-
ada's losing her domination of the
English market in butter and cheese,
whilst he points out oportunities for
an improvement in the already grati-
fying bacon situation. He has, there-
fore, suggested to the Minister certain
steps calculated to result in Canada's
maintenance of her high position in
the British market, which suggestions

EXPORT FIGURES POR PISCAL YEAR.
It is confidently hoped thatiliese Pc -
commendation, carried out, will re -
milt in yet.greater improvement of the
British market for Canadian agrieul-
tural exports; Canada's market for
this class of merchandise now lies al-
most wholly across the' Atlantic. Just
how important it is may be realized
from the figures of the 1922 fiscal
year, which were only partially effect-
ed by the Emergency Tariff. Out of
a total value of exports of Canadian
produce in -that year of $740,204,680,
exports of vegetable products amount-
ed to $317,814,106, and of animals and
their products, $135,798,720. Taking
only those commodities particularly in
question in this article, butter exports
amounted te 8,430,591 pounds worth
$3,224,390, of which 3,713,709 pounds
worth $1,444,657 went to the United
Xingdom; clrese exports amounted to
133,849,760 pounds worth $25,440,322,
of which 125,942,940 pounds worth
324,007,726 went. to the United King-
dom; bacon exports amounted to 992,-
080_cwt. worth $23,012,480, of which
986,623 cwt. worth $22,873,449 went

THE CHILDREN'S
A FIEILY TRIAL.
It is the demon of fire that causes
the settler se many anxious hours in
a new country. • May I tell you a story
of a forest fire 111 the northern part
of British Columbia? '
As you have perhaps learned, there
is a great portion of Northern B;C.
covered with birch and spruce. This
is very true of our home section, some
thirty miles east of Prince George on
the Grand Trunk Pacific. These trees
help to make the country a pleasant
one to live in. They also add greatly
to the toil of the one who would carve
a home from among them. Alas, too,
as you will read,' timber can be a
source of danger.
We chose as home a beautiful site
on the G.T.P. called Aleza Leke.
During the early months at that
'place Daddy was away from home
most of the time. Tho Railway re-
quired his help. This left Moeller to
look after ue and the hotnestead a good
portion ol the time. I
This was one of the days of mid-
summer, It was a ,real summer day

were all at home doing justice to

for more than the things to be eaten.
All at once she reported that the air
was full of stnolce. Luckily it was that

old. To look after Mary took "little
ingenuity and a good deed of haste.
elothet solved the problem by enlist-
ing the. help of our water spaniel.
She pointed acroes the lake, and at
the sante time urged the spaniel to
some imaginary enemy. The dog
seemed to mideretand the responsi-
bility pat en him. He went. at once on
O charge across the lake. He did it
carefully so that Mary Was able to
grasp his collar. In this way she evas
towed and carried to the other side.
Finally We were all safe across the
lake ftora the roaring furnace 60

The question of securing shelter and

settled. Pioneers have such problems
to face often.
This bit of evil was the result of

Increasing Dairy Herd
Production.
The Dominion Dairy News Letter
of September 10 in its cow -testing
th
notes gives two stances of remark-
able production inereale by cows
under the cow testing system, One 'is
at the Agricultural School at Oka,
Que. Here, in 1920, 44 cows avneged
6,733 lbs. of milk and 257.7.1bs. butter
fat. In 1922, 46 cows averaged 8,901
lbs. milk and 346 lbs. butter fat. In
1920, eleven cows produeed 300 lbs.
eat; in 1922, thirty cows produced
over 300 lbs. In 1922 the average for
the ten best cows was 10,811 lbs. milk
and 409 lbs. fat, The herd consists of
Ayrshires and French-Canadian cat-.
tie. A second instance reported at
Blenheim in Kent county, Ontario,
where in 1920, ten of C. E. Roe's
cows produced 7,468 lbs, milk and
246.5 lbs, fat; in 1922, eleven cowe
produced 10,235 lbs. milk and 346.4
lba. fat. In the case of Mr. Rowe's
herd the increase in productith am-
ounted to nearly 1,100 lbe. butter fat
for the year, whieh at 35e per poiand
would amount to e385. As the News
Letter says "Increased production per
cow is a possibility -in every herd if
the owner will take stock of each indi-
vbdual
CONV'e production and then elim-
inate the poor producers."
