Imagine, if you can, a train 881 miles long, or as far as from Winnipeg to the upper reaches of the Rocky Mountains. That is how many freight cars there would be. But cars alone cannot make a train. There are the engines, as well, and the road has kept in the neighborhood of 670 freight engines tugging grain trains east and west day and night throughout the season and in addition to these there are 171 switch engines employed at terminals. The season, be it understood, is taken as the period from the opening of the Canadian crop year, Sept. 1 to the official close of navigation with regard to shipping insurance on the Great Lakes, which falls Dec. 12. Grain Movement Over The Canadian Pacific Railway Sept. 1 - Dec. 12, 1923 So much for computation trains. In point of fact however, the longest train which was made up during the season consisted of 125 cars and was approximately 1 mile in length. It was operated from Stoughton to Arcola, Saskatchewan, on October 5th. The weight of the train not including the engine totalled 7,946 tons, of this 5,556 tons being freight. The train handled 155,000 bushels of wheat. Now during the season, there were 88 days on which cars could be loaded. for Sundays are excluded. During those 88 days there were trains operated on an average every 50 minutes day and night, trains carrying nothing but grain mind. you, for passenger traffic and other freight business were conducted at the same time, and on uninterrupted schedules too, be it noted. These trains were on an average 45 cars long. . In all,.from Sept. 1 to Dec. 12;, 1923, there were marketed in districts served by the Canadian Pacific Railway more than 200,000,000 bushels of all grains the largest quantity ever reported since the inception of the road. Taking the cars loaded as more truly representative of the activities of the company in the matter of grain movement. these have been reported at 116,232 for the period. representing 169,931,184 bushels. Suppose for a moment that all that grain were to be dumped into a river bed 100 feet wide and five feet deep. and that the Miss Fee of Swamp College spent.

As Other Nominees Withdrew. Succulent feeds, which are keenly relished by sheep. are valuable for their tonic and regulating qualities, says George W. Weir. Animal Hus- handman at the Experimental Farm at Ottawa. Roots, such as turnips or mangels, are possibly the most satisfactory form of succulent feed. but they cost considerably more to grow and store than silage. It is sometimes more convenient and profitable to feed the latter. as it has been found that good quality silage free from moulds and low in acid. can replace roots in the ration of the pregnant ewe if proper care is taken as to the amount fed. Some good legume hay should form the main part of the roughage, this to be supplemented with not more than two to three pounds per head per day of silage. If the silage is from a well matured crop and consequent- ly high in dry matter, the larger quantity may be fed. If from a SILAGB FOR PREGNANT BWBS watery crop, with consequent new ‘river’ were able to flow at an average rate' for water, say a mile an hour, then he who stood on the bank and had the patience to watch, might pitch his tent and picnic for three and one half days before this stream wouid be dried _up: A second trip into the land of imagination and one might put mountains in the background, and might make those mountains up of all the grains kernels which had been taken from the freight cars engaged in their transportation. If the grain were heaped up on acre lots of ground, there might well be three mountains, and each one of them would tower 5,000 feet into the heavens. The Canadian Pacific railway station at Lake Louise, one of the highest in the Rocky Mountains, is 5,044 feet above sea level. In the three mountains would be included oats, rye, barley, flaxâ€"all the coarse grains commonly grown in the Dominion as well as wheat, but if the latter were to be sorted out and put into mountains by itself, supposing there were still to be three mountains, then each of these would rise 4,200 feet from the ground. Banfi itself is only _4.50()_ feetabpve the sea. But after all, wheat is of little use in imaginary rivers or even mountains. however high or picturesque they may be. Let us consider what would happen if all the wheat were made into flour (leaving coarse grains aside) and kneaded up and baked into bread. If this were done there would be approximately 104,700 miles of regulation size, 16 ounce loaves, if they were placed end to end. This tremendous string of loaves would stretch back and forth across Canada. from Montreal to Vancouver 36 times. If the loaves were laid side by side and end to end, they would form a solid belt across the Dominion wider than the height of a city lamp post. Again if they were piled in a trans-Canada wall one loaf deep. the height of the wall would be‘ 12 feet. A particularly interesting feature of the grain move ment of the present season according to company officials is the increase which had been reported in the amount of grain sent by Canadian Pacific to Vancouver for export. In all there were 5,532 cars received representing 8,087,784 bushels, or a very large percentage of the total exports from Vancouver which aggregated 8,910,966 bushels to the United Kingdom, and 80,300 mostly to South Arner'ca. Last season for the correspond- ing period there were 3,548 cars received at Vancouver and 4.897.019 bushels exported. jnw dry maltvr (‘uutan {hm loss simuld 1w l'mi.
