Ulomen's "and men's underwear, Pants» Jackets and OveralSs from 60 cents to $1.50. Those are a fiw things that you can gut at Some Lecsons from the Ontario Winter Fair Continued from last week. One feature of the show which attracted a good deal of attention was a bunch of 24 range cattle from the Northwest, eX' hibited by thi Territorial Dept. of Agri- culture. These cattle were grade Short- hiirns, Horefords and Galloways, and will bo stabled and'fed at the Agricultural Col- lege, and at Major Hood's farm at Guelph, Ontarii, with a view to ascertain wheiher a successful business can he done by O.i- tario farmers in " Biiisliing " Western cattle. Only 15% of the American ranye cattle are shipped direct to the market, Tlie rest are shipped east and fed grain until they are in condition for slauyliter, and that is one reason why American ranijo cattle bring better prices than ours. In shipping our ranue cattle to England they are so unaccustomed to continement that they usually reach the Old Country before they begin to eat. As they have to be slaughiered within ten days of their arrival the loss in weight and price is very heavy. It i» believed by Western men that if raiiKO cattle were shipped Ea.st and sold at some central poiiit,KUch as Toron- to, they could be laid down at $35 to 840 per bead, le.ivinij a good margin for the Ontario farmer. In speukini; of the outbreak of the foot and mouth diaea.'^e in the United States and of the necessity of protecting Canad- ian berd.s from contagious diseases Hon. fiidney Fislier drew attention to the ad- vantages of havini! a dies.sed beef trade in live cittle. Among other things he said ; â€" "The Americans have a dead uiea trade. They have all the facilities of im- mense abattoirs and they can turn the stream from the live caitle to the dead meat trade in a very little time. But if there were to occur a case of contagious disease to-inorrow and the markets of the Old Country should be shut against our live .slock trade »» have no orgdJiized dead meat trade, no abattoirs here to slaughter our animals, no facilities for the transportation of that meat if it Were pre- pared for the Old Country market, and that would bean almost fatal blow againttt the live stoik trade of this country. Such a thing mi^ht i>ccur in Canada at any monie:it; It matters not how careful the auihofitirs may be. Such things have occurred in the old land. I believe the day has come in Canada when the ordin ary dead meat trade must bo organized, must he established, so that if such an in- cident should, occur in this country wo should not be put to the ciiormou;) loss that we would to-day. Wo liave an ex- ample of what can be done in the bacon tiade of Caimds. The same thing can be dime ill the dead beef trade. It will re- quire the same business capacity, the saioo otganizatioii, the samu capital that was riquired for tlie organization of the packing houses, and for the establishment of the bacon trade, the orqanization of an abattoir .system in Canada and a transpor tatioii system to carry the meat forward. I want to call the altenlioti of the stock- men and capitHlists of this province lo the problem. 1 am quite sure the diffi- culties which have hindered it up to the present time have largely disaappeared Olio cf the.se was a liick of market fur the offal. There will scum be a market here that all the different (laris of the animal can bu utilized. This being the case I feel ihotiniei.s now rii>e for the establish- ment of a deiid meat tiade with the Old Country and that it must be brought about in the inteiestB of the live stock of iliis otmutry. Unless we take steps we are short sighted and are closing our eyes to a danyer with which wo aro face to face. IIoM. Jno.Diyden oinphaaized what tha Domiirion Mmister of .Agriculture had said and added, "I hope that a yfar hiiiee T shall be able to make the an- nouncement concerning the establish- tnent of an industry that will relieve us fii'm the danger with which wo are now confionted. Influences are even mow at wo k which may lirin-.; this about, and it should bo broiig'.it about." F W.HonsoN, Live Stock Comiui^siiuior. Thoroughbred Durham Bull for Service Cord minto» 2^06$.
