The persistency of the produc- tion of horns in the cattle industry is an outstanding case, the Globe's agricultural editor remarks, and quotes a leading article from the current letter Sa the Canadian Packers' Council which says millions of dollars of loss is caused by this evil and never a dollar of gain. The letter starts a debate which might be well worth while for the greed asso- ciations to continue at their annual meetings to be held in Toronto soon, Breeds Injured The pure-bre breeder sets the styles in cattle. Commercial usefulness has in the main guided the brain and hand of the breeder in his work of moulding the form that a breed shall take. But notoriously some breeders have been given to quirks and fan- cies that from time to time have done serious injury to a breed. Likewise pride in established character has led to the retention of certain character- istics not only long after their use- fulness has ccased but even in the face of the fact that they do most serious damage to the industry. Horns on cattle are one of the most striking examples of the retention of a character to the time when it has become foolish, Dairy Breeds Worst The dairy breeds are serious of- fenders in this way. In the first ! cious type of horn; in the place some of the breeds appear to specialize in the production of a vi- second under place the conditions presence of horns, and in the third place the methods of rearing and handling make most 'favorable. con ditions and offer the greatest advan- tages for the suppression of horns, Almost the same remarks may be made with equal justice, about the breeders of pure-bred beef: ¢aftle, Feet of Clay, "i: Tt has been generally; singel that the pure-bred breeder was justified in indulging his fetish for horns be- causc the small percentage of such animals did not affect the mass of commercial livestoek. But the idol, which has been btilt up of the sen- timent about 'beamty and artistic quality, has feet of clay. Nearly ev- ery pure-bred animal at some stage of its carcer--dairy as well as beef animals--hbecomes ofic in a shipment of commercial cattle to some market, Under our conditions virtually all pure-bred animals sometime become a part of a shipment of mixed cat- tle, The nymber of. pure-bred herds is increasing: and the percentage' of pure-bred cattel in the mixed ship- ments of commercial , tattle is in- creasing correspondingly. With the development of the shipment of dniry cattle for sale at our public markets for milkers there is an increase in the movement of pure-bred cattle in the mixed shipments of commercial cattle. Thus horns on pure-bred cattle are a menace out of all pros portion to the number of such cat- tle. Furthermore, the pure-hred breeders are the lenders in the pro- duction end of the industry. What is needed is that pure-bred hreeders should suppress the develop- ment of horns on every pure-bred calf or remove them as soon as pos- sible. This would set the pure-bred which | herds in order and give a most pow- dairy «cattle are rearcd and handled erful example to the producers of give no semblance of excuse for the commercial cattle. | A perfect foo clement easily you to mee food, Conizing every. ed~~ an weather Made hy The Canadian Shredded Wheat Company, Ltd Insurance Against Influenza New Form of Lloyd's Gambling London--The increasing influén- va epidemic here, besides half emp- tying theatiek, relieviny traffic con gestion and creating a shortage of nurses, doctors and ambulances to carry to hospitals vietims who col- lapse in the streets, is responsible for a novel form of gambling on Lloyd's Exchange.
