THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT
The drive of the last week, with
morning sittings started Friday, is
going strong .and the prospects are
for prorogation Monday. That -is the
time set, but there have been so many
delays and uipsette of the schedule
that there ie little certainty about it,
even at this date. Ever so often a
member developer a thirst for in-
formation on this subject or that and
ucceeds in holding up!the works un-
til hiri thirst is quenched with the de-
sired information. There have _been
so many delays during the week that
while everyone is hoping for the end
of the work .by Saturday night it is
Still little more than hope.
A divorce bill, to grant relief from
maribal worries to one Alphone De-
Martigny has been talked out for
this session. The case was unusual in
many respects. It originated in the
Province of Quebec and both parties
were Roman Catholics. There was a
suggestion of collusion, which is al-
ways fatal in such cases and a de-
termined figidt 'sprung up to send the
bill back to the Private Bills Com-
mittee where it could be re -opened
and threshed out. This was defeated
on a nonparty vote, but when fur-
ther opposition developed the pro -
motors of the hill decided to drop it,
and accordingly did so.
The intnoduetion of a bill to take
over control of alt works in the Lake
of the Woods land affected waters has
been the cause of coite a flurry dur-
ing the. week. There was to have
been concurrent legislation in,the
Ontario Federal House, but the Dury
Government fell down on their end
of the contract. Then there was 0
lengthy correspondence between
Premiers Drury and Meighen in
which the former protested against
the Federal Bill as "an unwarranted
invasion of the Provincial domain"
and the latter replied that it -Nos
eirnply a step taken in the interests
of all concerned. Manitoba was urg-
ing that the Federal Government take
control, and ail parties in Ontario
seemed fairly well united in favor of
leaving things as they were for an-
other year or so.
An amendment to give the bill the
six monthn' hoist was defeated and
the Government measure went
through, although ,there was some
opposition not only from the Liberal
side but also from among the Gov-
ernment's own support.
With poetry and prose Government
supporters from Ontario spent an
evening shooting over Dr. Reid's
shoulder .at the record of the Farmer
Government of Ontario as road build-
ers. Gordon Wilson, of Wentworth,
after a month or so of preparation,
sailed ,into Hon. F. C. Biggs with
rharges of extravagance in building
roads around and through his own
farm while he let the rest of 1'10
Province go fishing for good roads,
Dr. Michael (`lark of the Agrarians
called the Government's attention to
tht; fact that such criticisms rebound
sl 'against the Federal Minister of
Railway's, Hon. J. D. Reid, whose de.
, irtnlent was responsible for appruv.
al of the roads built under the Gov-
ernment scheme. The Government,
Dr. Clark ()retested, had been warn-
ed that its policy would lead to just
this sort of thing, but it had refused
tc listen.
The Minister of Railways said that
this department would be guided by
the reports of its own engineers and
would only pay its- proportion of
what was a just and actual cost of
laying down a .proper road, so the
'natter ended there after an evening's
debate.
Railway estimates brought forth an
attaok on Sir Joseph Flavelle and a
defence of that knight by Dr. Reid.
Finally the' -items, which were to' pro-
vide sonic $90,000.000 for Grand
Trunk payments got through in the
early 'morning hours and the Mini-
ster of Railways smiled broadly as
he saw the fight dying down. D. D.
McKenzie wauted to know how the
Government was going to develop
Canadian ports when it ran its rail-
ways to Portland Maine and how the
people of Canada would lake the in-
formation that the Government had
gone into the mal business through
buying alines in the United States.
Dr. Reid gave a vague promise of di-
verting freight to Canadian parts and
selling the emit the mines produced in
the States without bringing it 10 Can-
ada.
Committee reports have given the
legislators something to think about..
As forecast. the Railways and Steam
ships committee got practically no-
where. It brought in a report stat-
ing that. it :had not had time t0 tackle
the problem fully enough ands sug-
gested that the cnnnniLtee be reap-
pointed early next a0 01x11 so that it
could make a thorough investigation,
The Fuel Committee got lost in a
row over witnesses and contented it-
seif with Sitatement that. Canada had
a •wends fol stock of fuel resources
and somebody ought to see that these
were dew/loped. As a means to this
end the alnpointnent of a government
ce•lrmh!ssinner was suggested. Then
elso the people were to be educated
tri use Canadian fuel instead of im-
ported anthracite.
Civil Servire Act amendments pro-
duced a lively discussion and a fight
from the Opposition members against
any attempt on the part of the Gov-
ernment to get ,back to patronage.
As it came back to the House the.
Spinney Mill was so changed, its
father would not have known it, but
there .were still provisions which al-
lowed the insertion of the thin edge
of the wedge which would eventually
wreck the Civil Service Act. The
question is still being fought out, but
the Government will prabalbly have
enough strength in its ranks to carry
i the measure in the face of everything.

THE FATE OF THE EXPORTED

Questions recently asked in the
British House of Commons volt re-
ference to the exportation of worn-
ue horses have again broueh: `Itis
subject into prominence, and lie' fol-
lowing brief notes on the train,' nosy
be of interest,
The Exportation of Horses Act
provides for the examination of all
i-or•ses shlppei to the continent by a
veterinary surgeon. The latter is
oppointed by the Ministry 01f Agri-
culture and Fisheries, and -is requir-
ed to see that every animal is not
only tit to travel, but to work. This
would seem to ensure tisa-hooves
scut over must be workably sound:
but that Act has hell ev,l'el in in-
dividual cases was more wr less mi-

On Saturday, April :net. I visited
Custom House Quay, to <,.v animal=
which were to be shOpe1 abroad,
examined and embarked. On that
occasion seventy-two anhenls arrived
for embarkation. They were firs'.
placed in a dry, wet -ventilated
stable, and tied in rows, From these
quarters they were led out one by
one for veterinary examination. The
majority of the animal; were trotted
on the stone setts ---a s•v'o'v test, as
even a suspicion of unsoundness must
become a certainty on such hard
ground. Some of the at,lu5als were
aged, some very aged, bio there were
surprisingly few unsound ones. I
saw only five, in fact, Inst I consider-
ed not "workably soiled- -in plain
English, very Janie, Of these, the
vet put four on one side, and I do
not doubt he know Lest about the
other.
The majority of the i,orses were
of the cart or van type, and most
were in good condition. :u regards
both besh and skin. Th.•re was one
light horse, a 'black e,f r:'•roughbred
type, who was shod, noticed, with
leather pads. He went p rtty sound,
however, and as he was in good con-
dition and rugged ulp, he was pre-
sumably going to a good home. One
rather good-looking horse arrived
clipped and without a rug, and I was
glad to notice the inspector refused
his embarkation until a rug was pro-
vided.
Although most of the horses were
aged, they were, on the average, in
distinctly good condition, and a few
were even fat. 1 only saw three thin
horses, in fact. The reason of this,
as well as an explanation of the cir-
cumstance that the animals were
,mostly big horses, is to be foynd in
the Government statistics, These
show that out of 2420 exported from
England to the (iontincnt during Jan-
uary, 1921, 2029 were slaughterrad for
food and 391 only released fur work.
After examination each horse is
led on to the quay and placed in a
hex, and then lifted by crane direct
into the main deck of the waiting
steamer, where he is taken out and
tied up in his standing. The horse -
standings are all on the main deck,
forty-two aft and the remainder for-
ward. The fittings are good,
the exact width and length of a ho'
and 11 is pus impossible for the ani -
mel to be thinner] about if the shirt

, houses, and also 'tween decks, whc•r.,

e animals being fed before the eh*

there alppeared aulUs ient, considerbcg
the shortness of the voyage—thirteeil,
hours (of which only seven are
tually at sea). The ration• is , 13.
pounds of hay per day, which is more
than cavalry allowance. for OM same
period, but minus the oats'. Inci-
dentally, the animals are better.witth-
out the latter, for horses-aufer not
a little from mal -de -mer, The GGv-
ernment inspector is responsible, I
understand, for the feeding arrange-
ments.
The horses are watered when on
board ship by (the crew; for the first
time before leaving 'dock, again' at
night and on the following morning;
i.e., three times between 12 noon &NW
urday and 7 aim. Sunday. I also
gathered that the crew consider wa-
tering horses a soft job, so that there
no danger of its ever being neg-
lected!
Before going to see the horses em-
barked I attended, on the previous
day, a sale of horses at the Barbican
Repository, it being a not unusual
occurrence for some horses to be
bought tihere for shipment abroad.
The animals in the catalogue were as
varied as the (prices they fetched. A
number of excellent nearing draughts
made prices to match, whilst some
"lights of other days" were bought
at prices varying from £3 to £30. I
took particular note of the law -priced
animals, expecting to see them ap-
pear at the docks for export; but in
this I was agreeably disappointed, as
I only spotted two on the quay the
following day. This was easily to be
understood, as these worn-out ani-
mads• would not have passed the strict
examination given. 1.1 is surprising
to learn the prices which dealers
give for animals which are sent
abroad—the majority fur human con-
sumption. One animal which I had
seen bought for £40 went overseas,
and, in view of the high proportion
of animals slaughtered which is re-
corded in the statistics already quot-
ed, one must presume he was intend-
ed for conversion into food. Now
the cost of transit is roughly £5,
which makes his value £45 en ar-
rival: It would be • interesting to
have authoritative information as to
the price paid for freshly killed horse
flesh on the Continent. ".)f any in-
formation on the 'point is'eorrect, lt.
makes much the same price as frozen

of co and, presuming that this has'
be split 0•, between dealer, mid-
dle -man, and butcher, each of these,
would net 120 prelit per head. If
these figures nave fair estimates, one
can easily understand why the ma-
ierity of the anima!: exported are

were people here to -dray from/ all the

1.500 in the building. A great crowd
had to be turned away. Long before
the doers were open in the afternoon
there was an imnler.sc crowd in front

e animals being fed before the eh*

there alppeared aulUs ient, considerbcg
the shortness of the voyage—thirteeil,
hours (of which only seven are
tually at sea). The ration• is , 13.
pounds of hay per day, which is more
than cavalry allowance. for OM same
period, but minus the oats'. Inci-
dentally, the animals are better.witth-
out the latter, for horses-aufer not
a little from mal -de -mer, The GGv-
ernment inspector is responsible, I
understand, for the feeding arrange-
ments.
The horses are watered when on
board ship by (the crew; for the first
time before leaving 'dock, again' at
night and on the following morning;
i.e., three times between 12 noon &NW
urday and 7 aim. Sunday. I also
gathered that the crew consider wa-
tering horses a soft job, so that there
no danger of its ever being neg-
lected!
Before going to see the horses em-
barked I attended, on the previous
day, a sale of horses at the Barbican
Repository, it being a not unusual
occurrence for some horses to be
bought tihere for shipment abroad.
The animals in the catalogue were as
varied as the (prices they fetched. A
number of excellent nearing draughts
made prices to match, whilst some
"lights of other days" were bought
at prices varying from £3 to £30. I
took particular note of the law -priced
animals, expecting to see them ap-
pear at the docks for export; but in
this I was agreeably disappointed, as
I only spotted two on the quay the
following day. This was easily to be
understood, as these worn-out ani-
mads• would not have passed the strict
examination given. 1.1 is surprising
to learn the prices which dealers
give for animals which are sent
abroad—the majority fur human con-
sumption. One animal which I had
seen bought for £40 went overseas,
and, in view of the high proportion
of animals slaughtered which is re-
corded in the statistics already quot-
ed, one must presume he was intend-
ed for conversion into food. Now
the cost of transit is roughly £5,
which makes his value £45 en ar-
rival: It would be • interesting to
have authoritative information as to
the price paid for freshly killed horse
flesh on the Continent. ".)f any in-
formation on the 'point is'eorrect, lt.
makes much the same price as frozen

of co and, presuming that this has'
be split 0•, between dealer, mid-
dle -man, and butcher, each of these,
would net 120 prelit per head. If
these figures nave fair estimates, one
can easily understand why the ma-
