As last year, Mr. T. W. Findlay has appointed judges who will award a prize giv- en by him to the lady who shows the best sportsmanship while play- ing ball. tNotes on C. G.

(Contributed by Ontario D^-partment of AKTlcuIture, Toror.to.) The production of live stock Is one of the most important tndustrloa within the Province with an invest- ment of between $250,000,000 and 1800,000,000. Although there U a fluctuation from year to year the general trend has been a gradual in- crease, until the live stock population of Ontario In 1923 reached 1,265,965 milch cows, 1,572,122 other cattle; 907,673 sheep, and 1,734,784 swine. From this number it Is estimated that 848,802 cattle, 602,111 sheep and lambs, 1,999,494 swlne have been slaughtered and processed for consumption In addition to animals exported. Of these, the Inspected packing plants of the province han- dled 363,444 cattle and calves, 198,- 736 lambs and sheep and 1,249,263 Bwlne. The balance must have been slaughtered by the local butcher and by the producer. The figures do not substantiate the Impression that the one-time main outlet for our live stock, the local butcher. Is a present day minor agency. However, the large packing houses are' making in- roads Into his business, and he Is gradually decreasing In numbers un- til only the more efficient will exist. Preference for Quality. If the quality of our live stock is maintained and improved It has great possibilities of expansion . With a growing population there will be an increasing demand for meat and meat products. With the British embargo lifted the export outlet will consume greater proportions than formerly and relieve the congestion on Our markets of- the surplus. With these possibilities confronting us, it neces- sitates the building up of a suitable marketing system that will function efficiently and economically. Efll- cieat functioning means t-hat the preference for quality of consumers of meat products are correctly re- flected back to the producer, In the form of enhanced prices for that quality for which the consumer pays his highest price and correspondingly lower prices for those inferior pro- ducts which consumers only buy at reduced prices. This demands r. cen- tral meeting place (a market). where volume of product, convenient facili- ties, skill in grading and sorting, experience in buying and selling, uniformity and honesty in business practice can all be economically assembled. Thus the establishment of our stock yards where the live stock is assembled and an organized company accepts, on arrival of stock, full responsibility until such times as relieved of this obligation by the owner, and supplies the necessary physical facilities where the vendors bring their live stock and l)!iyers congregate â€" packers to buy animals to slaughter and process to All the demands made upon them for dressed meats and its products â€" a gro-.vlnc number of farmers buying stocker cattle to put on their pastures or feeders to turn their grain and rough feed into meat â€" drovers and owners who assemble the live stock at coun- try points and deliver It at the cen- tral markets â€" commission men who are expert salesmen and make re- turn^ to the consignee, speculators always ready to gamble and take a chance â€" officials looking after the public interest represented by the Live Stock Branch, Markets Branch, Health of Animals Branch of the Federal Government, and the Hu- mane Society. Over a Million a Year. The greater part of Ontario's live stock marketed through public raar- ketsgoes to the Union Stock Yards at Horonto. In 1924 there passed through these yards 376,733 cattle, 98,006 calves, 493,683 hogs, 185,413 sheep and 2,455 horses which repre- sents a large portion of the Ontario live stock marketed through regular channels. The Union Stock Yards of Toronto, situated at the northwest part of the city, was opened for business in 1903. Due to the establishment of abat- toirs adjacent to the property and to ever-Increasing use made of stock yards by shippers It has had a steady and fairly rapid growth. At present the yards cover some thirty acres, o^ which about two-thirds Is roofed. There are sixteen alleys for cattle with a thousand pens (800 equipped for feeding and watering) having a capacity of 9,000 head. A separate house for sheep and calVes with a capacity of 6,000 head, and a hog building of 7,500 head capacity com- plete the accommodation for live stock. There Is a railroad siding on either side with 60 unloading chutes and a number of scales placed at con- venient points about the yards. At Exchange Building houses the Stock Yards offices of the various conAmU- slon Arms, banks and Qovetnment officials operating on the yards. Al- leys are allotted to the various com- mission Arms in proportion to their volume of business. The tendency In Toronto, as In most Canadian markets, Is develop- ing into a one day market, Monday being the prominent market day. Whether this Is a benefit to the in- dustry la opep to question, as it means carrying a staff for the rest of the week oApAbl^ of hahdllng efficiently tb^. maximum day's re- ceipts, which undoubtedly is an add- ed expense. If this business were spread more ev^nlj> over the week it might mean economy In the handl- ing of the market. Two factors have contributed largely to the large Mon- day market. The small abattoirs and packing plants buy their supplies and kill early In the week, leaving their staffs free for their heavy meat distribution business at the <nd of the week Again there are some ad- vantages in moving stock over rail- ways on Sunday, especially through the freight terminals, where the greatest delays naturally occur. â€" A.
