the PAGE SIX In the matter of exportation of our stockers and feeders we find as a reâ€" sult of this business large numbers of young unfinished stuff â€" have been dumped on the market at a time when prices are ordinarily . at the lowest level. In 1915 there were exâ€" _porttd from Western Canada to the United States 96,499 head, and of this number probably 70 per cent. were stockers and feeders, and as you will no doubt remember, there was an abundant supply of all kinds of feed for live stock at that time. Fortunâ€" ately. we find with respect to the marâ€" ket the recent campaign carried on by the Live Stock Branch, â€" Ottawa, to conserve as far as possible the breedâ€" ing stock, has had a very beneficial effect. Taking the receipts and disâ€" position of the Union Stock Yards, St. Boniface, Manitoba, for the months of October and November, 1915 and 1916, we find the total shipments to Western Canada for the two months‘ period was 2,772 in 1915, and 13,157 in 1916, and to the United States, 15,233 in 1915, 7,966 in 1916. You will noâ€" tice from these figures that for the two months period the shipments of ‘this class of cattle to the United States for 1915 were practically cut in two in 1916, while nearly five times as many were shipped to points in Westâ€" ern Canada, which certainly is an imâ€" provement as far as that goes. In spite of the fact that the census of June 20th last shows a heavy decrease in the total number of beef cattie within the Dominion, the marketings at the different Stock Yards in Canaâ€" da during the past year have been exâ€" ceptionally heavy, and especially so during the last few months, no doubt partially on account of the scarcity of feed, which with the exception of hay is both scarce and high, and partially on account of the high prices obtainâ€" able for meat producing animals, howâ€" ever for the breeder and feeder who has been carrying a fair quantity o1 good beef producing cattle, it has been an exceptionally good year. Doubtâ€" less it was not all profit, for labor and feed have to be considered, but in most cases they received big prices, which proved very tempting and large quantities of unfinished animals have been rather conspicuous at practicalâ€" ly all the markets, and many farmers might have made even more had they not been in such a hurry to send their stock to market, but had spent a litâ€" tle more time and money in properâ€" ty finishing them. I feel that I am quite safe in sayâ€" ing that it is most important from the standpoint of the individual farmer, and the national standpoint as well, that a solid foundation\should be laid for the conserving of all the good breeding females possible. As a war measure the British Government has Aalready imposed restrictions against the slaughter, of calves and females, but I am afraid that a measure of this kind, even in war times would not be advisable in this country, _ however, at the present time we have only to wisit some of the Live Stock markets to find that a great many calves of the beef breeds, and large numbers of useful heifers and cows which should be spared, are‘ finding their way back to the block. We are conâ€" tinually facing the danger involved in the loss of such large numbers/of good beef.bred calves, and in the slaughâ€" ter of very many breedy and serviceâ€" able cows and sheifers, many of which are in calf when slaughtered, which is certainly short sightedness on the part of those who sell them, as well as a serious loss to the counâ€" iry at large. We are now in the third year of the greatest® war the world has ever known, and which in several ways had its effect on the beef supply of the world, therefore, we find that breedâ€" ing operations are completely disorâ€" sanmized, especially in ‘the countries where the war is waging, and no doubt it will be impossible, during the war and for some time after it is ended, even under the most favorable conâ€" ditions to get back to the breeding of anything like a reasonable supply of good beef cattle. In fact it is hard to believe anything, out that most of the European countries may have to get at least part of their breeding stock from this North American continent, in orâ€" der to build ‘up their herds again, and perhaps a large percentage of the beef which will be required in these countries, and if that be true, why not from Canada, providing we live up to our oportunities and breed and feed the proper type of animal. Taking the Census figures for the last five years of the number of Live Stock in Canada, we notice in the staâ€" tistics that in respect to beef cattle, which is represented by "other cattle", there was a marked decrease during those years, 1916 being about 600,000 head lower than five years ago, and folowing the numbers up by Provâ€" inces, we find that there has been a steady decrease in all the Eastern Provinces and Manitoba. From 1911 | fo 1916 Prince Edward Island (deâ€" | creased 11,027; Quebec 162,167; Nova | Scoti:\&’?,filw; New Brunswick 21,436; 1 Ontarid 569,770; Manitoba 40,571; in | Maskatchewan we find an increase of | 94,244, and in Alberta an increase of | 94,567, British Columbia decreased | 2,129. In milk cows, and no doubt a ‘ certain percentage of these may be reâ€" | presented by grade cows of the beef | type and breeding, th statistics show a | falling off of milk cows in Prince Edâ€" | ward Island, New Brunswick and Queâ€" ’ bec, while we find a slight increase in the other Provinces. From the bestf information we are able to Sather, we | find that there is not only a great shortage of the ‘best beef stock in Canada, but that there is a tremenâ€" _dous shortage the world over, and | when the war which is now raging is ended, this shortage no doubt will be felt very keenly, not only in this c6unâ€" try, but all over the continent of Europe. In view. of these facts I think we are safe in saying, "that thereâ€"never was a time in the history of this country when it was of so great importance as it is at present, that the people of Canada should think and think most seriqusly of the position this country is likely to be in‘ with reference to the future supply of beef producing animals. (By John Gardhouse, Weston) â€" The following speech was delivered by Mr. John Gardhouse at the Winter Fair held last week in Ottawa. It deals with a very important question of the day. He has been careful to workâ€"out the detail and present it in a very complete and logical arguâ€" ment that will convince the people of the great need for conservation. The beef breeding stock must be preseryâ€" ed and further developed to cope with the conditions. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemer:â€" ȴou have already had very profitâ€" able and interesting addresses on the Prospects for Horse and Sheep Breedâ€" ing, and what I have to say will be along the line of the ‘"‘Prospects for Beef Cattle Breeding." sOoME PROSPECTS FOR BEEF CATTLE BREEDING ARRRRAT RHASL SEmecvas‘ Sae '@%&“ o o > _â€"The Connaught Masonic Lodge conâ€" nducted, the services, /the Rev. â€"J. Wilson, of Mimico, and Rev. A. roye, of Lambton, a nephew of the deâ€" ceased. assisting. A short . service was held at the house, and a second service at the chapel at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. ‘The pallbearers were Messrs. D. Pearce, Frank Rippen B. Newman, J. McGdolphin, J.J. Harriâ€" son and Andrew Dods. The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizaâ€" beth Walford, two sons and three daughters: Méssrs. John and Wm. Walford. of Toronto; Mrs. W. Lubbock Mimico; Mrs. J. Hepton, La‘.nsdown’e ave., Toronto. and Mrs. John Pearl, McMaster ave., Toronto. Mr. Walford was well known in theatrical circles, and floral tributes were sent by the ‘different theatres of the city, from his different lodges, from the churches at Mimicoe and New Toronto, and many friends. CANADA‘S GOVERNOR GENERAL The funeral took place at 2 p.m. Monday of hte late Joshua Walford from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. W. Lubbock, Victor â€"Avenue, Mimicoe. The Presbyterian Church at Mimico reports a successful year‘s work. One thousand nine hundred and one Golâ€" lars and eightyâ€"three cents was the amount of the collections for the maintenance of the church, and exâ€" penditures leave a balance in hand. Two hundred dollars was raised for missions and the other organizations of the church raised > creditable amounts: the Ladies‘ Aid, $89.35; the Women‘s Missionary Society, $109.62; the Young People‘s Society, $82.43, and the Sunday School, $1L91L94. . The church has an. honor roll of sixty men ‘serving in the war, including two sons of the minisâ€" ter, Rev. G. J. Mackay. Let me say in conclusion that at the present time we are all ready to adâ€" mit that there is not enough beef producing animals to supply a suffiâ€" clent quantity of beef to go around. Now, if that be the case, what is likeâ€" ly to happen? ist. Prices must conâ€" tinue high, for as long as the supply is not equal to the demand we cannot expect anything but high prices. 2nd. The high market prices are bound to continue to have the affect of drawâ€" ing from the breeder many good cows and heifers which should be reâ€" tained for breeding purposes. 3rd. The fact that so many good females find their way to the blogk will have a tendency to keep the suppy down for perhaps a number of years. 4th It is well to keep in mind the length of time it requires to produce a good beef bullock. 5th. Looking to the future, with the evidence we have beâ€" for us, I think we are bound to arâ€" rive at this conclusion that for some years to come . beef cattle will be scarce and high, and it will be good business both from the standpoint of the breeder and farmer, as well as from a national standpoint,to breed all the good cattle possible, retain the feâ€" males and feed and care for them well. _ ds uie ovectv esd â€"â€" 1 on q onl ols css 2 e on ;g,‘:;‘ sls fi)@fi%&?& L 3 es er yc oys '.E:\\.Vz\i-!:f-:‘\‘_;,v,:L»;f;:g*._:.;\\ es es se ie se 3 g}}t&\,‘%‘ 4ss \%12%? > 3 s E‘:s;:*:’&fi S oparse ‘\3‘54 é%k"%;?:‘f\t‘.'% > Bs xs*.fi??i?}:\«. sys sys y Sss |enucees %\ Sss sscs "rr.‘v :‘R"‘ s nc ce I wish to say here that in my opinâ€" ion the time has arrived, with the high price of feed and the searcity of labor, that it is most essential in this counâ€" try that nothing but the right type of pure bred sires should be used, and it is just as important / that liberal yet economical feeding be practised, in order to obtain the best results, with the least possible waste. A noticeable feature of the year has l ADVERTIISING PAY3 been the splendid trade in pure bred cattle at fairly high prices.

"I wish that it were possible for me to be able to say that concerning any one in my employ,"‘ remarked a promâ€" inent lawyer to a fellow attorney. The conversation occurred during an adâ€" journment in the taking of testimony inâ€"an important lawsuit, in which atâ€" torneys from various parts of the country were engaged. Half a dozen lawyers were arranging for the conâ€" tinuing of the depositions, and the question had been put to the employer of the shorthand reporter in the case, ‘"When does Miss Sâ€" return from luncheon ?"‘ & "At 2.o‘clock," was the answer. "Then we could safely say that at quarter after two, or at 20 minutes afâ€" ter two, we could go on with the tesâ€" timony?" was the query. Quebec raised more money in 1916 than was needed to make provision for her own families, aund the surpius was devoted to the Western Provinces, where enlistments were above the ayâ€" erage. It is probable that a similar condition will arise in 1917. ~ Promptness is not a difficult requisâ€" ite to obtain, and the habit of thinking and planning ahead sufficiently to enâ€" able one to be on time can be readily acquired, if it is not naturally one‘s own. We all know the discomfort the tardy individual causes in the social world, while, in the business realm, it becomes ~more than discomfort. One‘s consideration for another‘s time is not only business etiquette; the value of unfailing .promptness canont be over estimated. The conviction with which this asâ€" sertion was made, was not lost on the apparently less fortunate employers. Later, at the luncheon table, two or three of the men who have been presâ€" ent talked of the postitiveness with which their colleague had spoken, and he then explained to them that the young woman in question had been in his office in various capacities for over 10 years, during which time he hadâ€"never known her to be late. QUEBEC GIVES A "Youâ€"can safely say at 2 o‘clock She is always on time," he replied. "With the single exception of honâ€" esty, I do not know any one quality which I think necessary as that of promptness," was one verdict to which all these men agreed. None shall ever charge that I Did not serve; None shall taunt with "You‘re the guy Would not serve!" When a wounded man I meet ILimping down the busy street He‘ll not hint, "You had cold feet!"â€" I will serve. VALUE OF PROMPTNESS AMONG EMPLOYEES In the hot munition shop, I will serve; That the war may sooner stop, I will serve;" Lest on me should rest the guilt For a broker‘s lifeâ€"blood spilt, Glad, I offer mind and nerveâ€" I will serve. I‘ll not loaf while others toil, I will serve; Can I plan the foe to foil? I will serve. Power of, muscle and of brain Surely will the vie‘try gain; With more vâ€"gor, vim and verve f I will serve. In the mill or in the ficld, â€" I will serve; Britons ne‘er to foeman yield, I will serve; If I cannot man the guns I can send supplies in tons, Thus to help defeat the Huns I will serve. . If they want me in the trenches, I will serve; ‘Mid the shrapnel and the stenchesâ€" I will serve; For my country and my king I will suffer anything; All my service they deserve, I will serve. < To one man is said to belong the credit of originating and carrying out this novel and elaborate campaign. He is Sir Hedley Le Bas, head of a large publishing house in London, who reâ€" ceived his title recently as a mark of honor for the services which he had rendered his country. This first advertisement has grown into scores, dealing with a wide field of. subjects, from pleas for army volâ€" unteers and loans of money to conâ€" demnation of extravagance in the purâ€" chase of too many boots and stockings by my lady.. It is said that there is scarcely a home in:â€" the British Isles that has not been reached by some of the display advertisements which have been kept running in 1500 newspapers and spread on myriads of billboards. After nearly two years of experiment officials emphatically declare that it pays for a government to advertise. It is estimated by some that billions of dollars have been raised in loans in this way, and that nearly 5,000,000 reâ€" cruits have been drawn to the colors by the printed appeals. Londonâ€"When the British Governâ€" ment at the beginning of the war covâ€" ered the billboards of the country with its now famous appeal for recruits, "Your King and Country Need You," it embarked on an advertising camâ€" paign of such a nature and extent as has never before been undertaken by any nation.
