Since 1657 A.D. when tea first found its way into Europe, its invig- orating and healthful qualities were at once appreciated and its popular- ity spread to all parts of the world. The purest, moat delicious tea that you can buy is "SALADA." Your own grocer can supply you. Ask for it to -day. ,CAN THE PRODUCER AFFORD FAT HOGS? Can hog raisers afford to accept .a price of 51.50 per cwt. lower than the price paid for selects in the open market under any circumstances? A cut to the above amount has been enforced at the Union Stock Yards, Toronto, in making payment for fat Bogs arjiving from Essex County for some time past, and purchasers have been receiving complaints from producers in that section who have found that prices received for their hogs do not agree with market quo- tations, which are for select hogs. Under existing conditions of de- mand for pork and pork products, which are anything but encouraging to either the packing or home but- chering industry, it is only to be ex- pected that hogs of unsatisfactory type will be strongly discriminated against. Quality decides the rela- tive price paid for hogs at the yards at all times, but possible cuts are the more strongly enforced in times of over -supply. With the sea- son for heavy runs approaching, it is hardly to be wondered at that packers are observing every possible precaution against over -loading their coolers with pork that will not sell to either butchers or in the export market. The hog raiser must bear in mind the fact that, not only will a heavy fat hog fail to make the premium price .promised No. 1 for selects of the bacon type when grading for that :a (decided distinction will be made between the average bacon hog and the heavy fat kind, as re- gards price.

FALL BREEDING OF MARES There are decided advantages in the regular practice of fall breeding. Much of the dual capacity of the mare for work and increasing her species is lost when she foals in May or June. Under ideal conditions for the foal, she could spend several weeks or the better part of the sum- mer on pasture. On the average farm then, where horse power is lim- ited, the in -foal mare cannot be heavily worked for a short time be- fore she foals or worked at all for some months after. Where, however, she does not foal until late fall, her services are available when they are in urgent demand and she is exerting the other side of her dual capacity, foal rearing, in the winter, when on most farms she would be idle or comparatively idle in any case. An animal that can work at two such fundamentally necessary jobs as the above and accommodate her work to the seasonal demands so effectively is indeed almost a prefect power ,plant. them was that it is impossible to do constructive work without having and keeping the animals in first- class health. How can a cow be a heavy producer if she has not the full vigor required to give lajrge quantities of milk? How can a number of females be regular re- producers if contagious abortion is present in the herd? How can strong heifers be raised if calf scours sap their vitality when young? It may thus well be said that no con- structive breeding can be done un- less healthy animals are used. Another lesson which was brought distinctly to light is that it is im- possible to improve the milking qual- ities of dairy cattle, however good the females may be, unless the sires are out of heavy producers. When starting the Cap Rouge herd, a mag- nificent looking bull was bought, one that could have won at all the shows, apid, moreover, an animal which, acetirding to ordinary stand- ards, was of good dairy conforma- tion. But every one of his daugh- ters, over twenty-five in number, had to be sent to the butcher, because poor milkers. And, later on, when some of the dams of these poor milk- ers were bred to bulls out of known heavy producers they gave heifers which easily qualified for Record of Performance. Three of the four herd bulls were dropped at Cap Rouge; the sire of two of them and the dams of all these have qualified for Record of Performance. And the regularity with which heifers qualify show - that breeding really counts. '1 Now that the quantity of milk has been increased, other traits, such as per- centage of fat, conformation and size, will be attended to, though the writer believes that one at a time is enough to satisfy the ambition of any good breeder.

BRIGHTER COLORS FOR TRE CARS OF 1923 While for twenty years black and blue have been the standard colors in automobiles, it is prophesied here that within the next two years the roads will be scintillating with auto- mobiles as multi -colored as the lights in a prism. "Brighter roadways," seems to be the automobile manufacturers' slo- gan. While many of the factories took the bright color step in their 1922 models, it is claimed that the 1923 models which will be exhibited for the first time at the next automobile shows will be a veritable riot of col- or. One firm has taken the lead this year and is putting out models finish- ed in a red, others in a blue and the super -sport models in a but brown. Another company has adopted a deep red as the standard color for the next sport touring car and roadster. Still another maker is finishing all tour- ing cars in a deep red and the closed jobs in dark colors. A high class conservative company has departed from the fold of follow- ers of the black and adopted a light blue for one of its models. Several popular cars are standing by black, but dealers are telling pros- pective customers in many cases they may have the option of sporty multi- colored wood or disc or wire wheels at no extra charge or at a very small price with a trade-in allowance for the standard equipment. One big car which has a deep blue as its standard color has been given a dash of style by running nickel beading around it and altering the body lines so as to give it a much lower and sporty appearance. Other cars sticking to black are be- ing given individuality by adding striping or other distinguishing touches. FRENCH CANADIAN CATTLE IN R. 0.,P. The herd of French Canadian cat- tle at the Cap Rogue, Que., Ex- perimental Station may not be the largest t in existence to-day,though it numbers about sixty head of reg- istered animals, but no other herd can boast a larger proportion of Record of Performance females, says Gus Langelier, Superintendent of the station. There is not a cow hav- ing pasaed two periods of lactation which has not qualified and no heifer will remain at Cap Roge � which cannot do so. This rigid rule, however, has not eliminated many heifers, in letters years, as I practically every one of them quali- fies. This herd was built up since 1911, and a few important lessons were learnt in building it up. One of STORIES OF OLD JOHN A. Some interesting stories are being revived in the press illustrating the remarkable gift possessed by Sir John A. Macdonald for remembering the names and faces of persons he had met. Here is one instance: - It was at Napanee in 1882, when Sir John noticing a man on the plat- form, turned to him and asked, "Isn't your name Rattan?" "Yes," he re- plied, "but I never met you, Sir John; how did you know me?" "By your likeness to your brothers," he said. "But it must be a long time since you have seen them," said Ds. Rut - tan. "Yee," answered Sir John, "it is now forty years." Another case, never before publish- ed, may be cited. Sir John was in Grey County, and a farmer drove several miles into town to hear him speak at a political meeting. Stand- ing modestly in the crowd as the statesman was passing up to the platform, the farmer was surprised when Sir John stopped and said: - "Hello, here you are again," "But you -don't remember me," said the farmer. "Don't I?" was the reply. "You're the man that shoots the heads off 'flying partridges with a muzzle - loading rifle." Nearly 20 years be- fore the farmer had been introduced to Sir John at a place in Simcoe County as the local crack rifle shot. There is no doubt about the'pos- session of this gift of memory for names and faces by Sir John in an unusual degree. It was to him so useful a gift, it made for him so many friends, that nearly all politic- ians in Canana have sought to polish their memories, and some have even gone the length of making somewhat elaborate arrangements for stage - play that would answer the pus -pose as well as the real thing. A Toronto newspaper man was once asked by a friend what he was doing travel- ling about the country at election, time. "Oh," he explained, "I'm scout- ing out ahead of the party leader. I reach a town before he does, find out who's who -find out who used to know him, or ever met him, when and where, and send back typewritten particulars. Then, when he hits the town he has everybody's number, and if he likes he can call all the main guys by their pet names. It's a nice job. I like it. And I'm making this' tour a tremendous success. Those who know how this sort of thing can be done, and is done, in politics are naturally a little skepti- cal when they hear stories about the remarkable way in which public men ;;scall people's names and faces. It is not always a gift; sometimes it is a highly perfected system. But Sir John Macdonald was clearly in a class by himself in this respect iamong the great political leaders in Can- ada, for the instances that can be quoted are so many, the circumstances were so convincing, and the exercise of the gift was of such everyday occurrence that no room for doubt exists as to his possession of this gift in a remarkable degree. dofop tbs akb � hair aflp! stbe4.4 quite lof 'so' i on ,the WO p, Canada See* to be inclining t0. view tbat ***Warr speed laws accomplish littlein the way' of .s:9puring public eafety, and that the beat law is the law which empowers legal officers to de- tain any moteriet, no matter at what speed he is driving, whose driving in any way menaces other users of the road. LIMITS TO SPEED SEEM TO BE DOOMED That the arbitrary speed limit is doomed in Canada and that within another decade at most there will be no prosecutions instituted against motorists for driving more than a fixed number of miles per hour, but rather that prosecutions will be for careless or dangerous driving, is the opinion of an Ontario motorist who has recently had occasion to visit the Canadian provinces and who has made enquiries in every instance in- to the regulations governing auto- mobile traffic. Already the arbitrary speed ,limit has been abandoned for driving in open country in four of the provinces and also in Yukon ter- ritory. Alberta law prescribes that a motorist shall drive at a reason- able speed, having regard to condi- tions of the road, other traffic, wea- ther conditions, etc. In Manitoba a similar provision maintains. New Brunswick also has instituted such a law, while Saskatchewan requires that a motorist shall not drive at a speed that is dangerous to the pub- lic. In the Yukon it is required that the speed of motor vehicles in open country shall be "reasonable and proper." Of the provinces which set an ar- bitrary limit, British Columbia is the most open-minded, the speed limit in that province being fixed at 30 miles per hour in open country, 20 miles in cities, towns and villages, and ten miles where view of the road is not clear. Ontario, Nova Scotia and Que- bec allow a speed of 25 miles in open country. Ontario permits 20 miles in cities, towns and villages, and Nova Scotia 15. Quebec permits 16 ranee per hour in municipalities. To Prince Edward Island goes the distinction of enforcing the most con- servative speed limit, 15 miles an hour. Butthis is not to be taken as an indication of lack of progress, for Prince Edward Island has gone fur- ther in the way of relaxing enact- ments restricting the use of motor vehicles than has any other province in the dominion. Leas than a decade ago the use of motor vehicles waa permitted in that province only on two or three days of the week. Now the motorist may go about at all CURRENT WIT AND WISDOM. Don't be fanatical. It is a form of insanity. -Ex. Whoever may win the coal strike, you may wager that it will not be the consumer.-Haasilton Herald. Automobile tourists spend $100,- 000,000 in Canada each season.

Preparations upon a monumental scale for the marketward movement of Western Canada's 1922 grain crop have been made by the -Canadian National Railways. Hundreds of giant locomotives and tens of thousands of freight care have been rut through the Railway's chops at Winnipeg and I.:.(.ia fit and ready for the greatest traction effort of the year -and of many years. This mobilization of equipment has been in rrogress since the beginning of the year, with the ':suit that Canadian National Railways are now r .r,:y prepared, waiting, and even eager to get * , the business of hauling grain. If all the engines ready for service were plaoed end to end, they would stretch out for a distance of more than ten while if all the cars prepared since the first .5 -.:.c year for the movement of grain were placed c::d to end, they would stretch out approximately :•i0 miles. The history of the preparation starts with the ,.;ire on the part of the Management to ease the unemployment situation last Winter, and at the same time accomplish some useful purpose. The Management conceived the idea of putting Into the maximum of efficiency all of the bad -order equip- ment on western linea Full staffs of men were set to work in the two great shops and yards, and ail - tag locomotives and freight cars beaded in for treatment. The locomotives ready to move the crop have an average length of 65 feet. Some conception of the enormous power represented in these iron steeds may be gleankd from the statement of fact that assuming them to be equal to the Mikado, capable of drawing 4,540 tons; the hauling capacity of these locomotives would be 121,520,333 bushels of wheat if all the engines ware hauling capacity trains at the same time. In other words, the motive -power prepared by the Canadian National for moving the crop, is-eglial'to the task of hauling about one-third of the total crop of Alberta, Sask- atchewan and Manitoba at Dace.
