BARLEY BACON AND BEEF
During the past few years, the pro-
duction of barley in Canada has in-
creased enormously, while at the same
time export demand has fallen off al-
most completely. The suitability of
:this crop to a wide variety of soil and
climatic conditions, its freedom from
disease and pests (for the corn borer
it has no fears), together with its
heavy yielding qualities, have combin-
ed to make it a desirable crop to grow
in Canada, just as corn is a desirable
crop to grow in certain sections of
the United States. One difference is
that whereas the United States corn
belt is limited in area, the barley belt
in Canada knows no bounds, conse-
quently we may confidently expect to
have "barley to burn" for a few years
to come. This is a heartening pros-
pect if for no other reason than to
•demonstrate to Canadian feeders that
we do not have to depend on Argen-
tine and American corn.
With no export demand for barley
in its raw state, the situation would
be a sorry one indeed were it not that
we have in Canada the facilities for
manufacturing this crop into two very
staple commodities, namely, bacon and
beef, commodities that are in demand
both at home and on the export mar -
let had we an exportable surplus. It
is true that these commodities are
'not bringing the high prices that they
once did but when the market value
of barley is compared to the price
that can be obtained for it by feeding
it to hogs and beef cattle, it will be
seen that the feeding of barley to
hogs and beef cattle is a profitable
way out.
It is a fortunate fact that barley is
admirably suited to these two classes
'of stock. As a hog feed, it may be
used in limited quantities in the grow-
ing ration and up to at least fifty per
cent. in the fattening ration, with the
assurance that it will develop an en-
tirely satisfactory class of bacon
which is something that can not be
said 'with the same degree of assur-
ance concerning the feeding of corn
in similar quantities. As a feed for
beef cattle, barley is undoubtedly the
best of our Canadian grown coarse
:grains. Properly balanced by cheap,
home-grown leguminous roughages,
barley can be used in almost any pro-
portion of the grain ration up to one
hundred per cent. with excellent re-
sults. It is not too much to expect
that the increased use of barely and
other coarse grains, while at their
present low price level, will make for
a much better quality of beef being
marketed, which in turn will help to
create a demand for more beef for
the future.
For further notes on the use of
barley in live stock feeding, write the
Publication's Branch, Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa, for Pamphlet No.
127, "The Greater Use of Barley in
Live Stock Feeding," and Pamphlet
No. 128, "Canadian Grown Grains in
Poultry Feeding."

a GOVERNMENT LOTTERIES
ADVOCATED FOR CANADA
We have before us two long letters
strongly advocating the setting up of
Government lotteries in Canada. So
far as we are concerned the reasons
advanced are convincing, though they
take the form of analogies rather
than independent arguments in favor
of gambling. They point out, for in-
stance, that there is now gambling
on the race -tracks with the sanction
of the 'Government which takes a
rake-off. So if the Government went
into the lottery business outright we

foot °that, he is owes something. use-
ful. and indeed essential to lite is ir-
relevant, He .is not a farmer so that
he can help feed the nation: He is
a farmer so that he can make money.
If the weather is against him, he
loses, especially if world conditions
generally are adverse. Now he can
no more influence the weather or
world conditions than he can the
cast of the dice, and in this respect
his labor is a gamble.
The writer of one of the letters,
whose name is unknown, suggest
that the Government should open
offices in the chief cities and towns,
thus offering immediate employment
to many in a class which has been
particularly affected by the general
depression. A lottery would be run
each month, with special drawings at
Easter and Christmas. The prizes
would be 100 in number, and ranging
in value from $100 to $100,000. He
says, "During the course of the year
the winning of these prizes would
mean that about 50 families would
become wealthy, a similar number
most comfortably off, while more
than a hundred would have sufficient
capital to start up in business should
they so desire; another hundred fam-
ilies would have ,nioney enough to
wipe out any existing mortgages on
their homes, ,while some 3,000 would
have substantial spending money."
Another correspondent, Mr. E. L.
Skelly, 130 Herkimer Street, H>amil-
ton, goes into the 'matter in greater
detail. He suggests four drawings a
year, one of them on the King's
Plate. The sum total collected for
each lottery would be $10,000,000. Of
this sum $1,000,000 should be de-
ducted for operating costs. Of the
remainder the Government would
take 40 per cent. or $3,600,000 as its
share. This money could be distrib-
uted in any way the Government saw
fit, and we have no doubt that any
bright Government could see 100
ways. Then there are a couple of
calculations not quite clear to us:
Canadian citizens' share, 510,000
each, 180 people -$1,800,000.
Foreign citizens, $10,000 each, 90
people�$900,000.
But as they seem to favor Cana-
dian citizens we vote for it, provi-
sionally. The table continues:
To drawers of winning tickets,
1, 2, 3-25 •per cent. $2,250,000.
To clraweers of unplaced horses, 5
per cent.—$450,000.
The winnings of tickets on horses
could be apportioned as follows:
1st horse -60 per cent. of winning
money—$1,350,000; to be divided in-
to shares of not more than $100,000
each.
2nd horse -30 per cent. of winning
money --,$675,000; to be divided into
shares of not more than $60,000 each.
3rd horse -10 per cent. of winning
money—$225,000; to . be divided into
shares of not more than $20,000 each.
Ain't we got fun?
But it may be premature to ar-
range all the details, such as the
number of drawings, the amount of
the capital prizes, the cost of tickets,
and what the lucky winners will do
with the money when they get it. We
have not the slightest doubt that the
Government would have no trouble in
raising whatever amount was neces-
sary and as both our correspondents
point out, American speculators would
only be too anxious to participate.
The immediate task is to convince
the average Canadian that this is not
a scheme hot out of hell.
Another matter which should be
examined and upon which we should
like to be enlightened, if possible, is
the effect upon a country of Govern-
ment lotteries. Is it demoralizing on
the whole? Does it fasten upon the
people like an insidious drug and by
raising expectations of vast wealth
without exertion tend to unfit men
for the ordinary laborious duties of
the day? We do not know. We
merely suggest the possibility. But
we do know that while the State of
California was for a long time ex-
tremely hospitable to the race tracks,
as becomes a sporting state, the bus-
iness men of San Francisco revoitc,d
when feere were sr, mmy tracks op-
erating near the city that continuous
racing t:iroughout the ye ir was offer-
ed. A little racing they enjoyed and
considered good for business. Con-
tinuous racing was ruinous. Would
four drawings a year produce the
same effect as continuous racing? Or
could they be comparable rather to
Spring and Fall race meets?
Seven Out of' Ten Are Victims But
Writer Tells How "Uratabs" Bring
Swift, Amazing Relief With
Renewed Vital Force.
"No one knows better than 1, the
horror of joyless days and sleepless
nights. There have been times when
I felt hopeless and helpless—and
when my weakness caused me the
most intenrse•humiliation. Only those
who have gone through such tortures
can possibly realize my great satis-
faction when Dr. Southworth's URA -
TABS brought me quick relief. URA -
TABS are truly wonderful, and I give
them full praise." Such amazing evi-
dence serves as convincing proof of
the power of URATABS to relieve
those distressing ailments sot often a
handicap to those in middle life.
,Over'Zvorked, sluggish Kidneys, and
Bladder Weakness, bring on so many
distressing ailments which so often
lead to serious diseases that every
sufferer from Lameness, Pains in back
and down through groins, scanty but
r a ej tee n t urination, "Getting+•Jup-
Nights," Nervous Irritability and lack
of force --should tfy the amazing val-
ue of Dr. Southworth's URATABS at
once! Any good druggist will supply
you on a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back.
A THOUGHTFUL GESTURE
One week -end the young Wilsons
invited a party to enjoy the winter
sports at their country home. But
a sudden rain ruined the prospects.
Mrs. Wilson promptly called all her
guests by Long Distance and post-
poned the party. A dismal week-
end was avoided and everyone ap-
preciated the thoughtfulness of their
hostess.
UNBREAKABLE
Many motorists confuse "unsplin-
terable? with "unbreakable." The
other day a motorist opened the door
of his car in a congested park and
smashed the window of a low -built
saloon car alongside.
"How much w.11 that cost?" he ask-
ed.
"About two guineas," replied the
owner.
"What! Two guineas for breaking
a window?"
"Yes, 'I'm afraid so," was the re-
ply; "you see, it's made of unbreak-
able glass."
SECOND SIGHT
"Sambo, you are very late this
morning. Any reason?"
"Well, salt, it was like dis. When
As looked into de glass dis morning I
