In addition, the Cattle Exports Up Latest Figures Show Exports of live cattle from Canada to all destinations in 1947 totalled 83,233 head, says the An- nual Review, of the Live Stock Market and Meat Trade, issued by the Marketing Service of the Dominion Department of Agricul- £i ture, Ottawa. Of the total, 29,897 were pure- bred. Of these, 28,248 went to the United States, 310 to the United Kingdom, 797 to China and the remainder were shared by about 20 other countries, most- ly in South America and in the Shadows Changed Into Fish THEY HAD FUN SWIMMING IN THE BROOK By Max Trell Knarf and Hanid, the shadow- children with the turned-around names, were swimming down the brook, darting in and out among the rocks, turning and leaping through the sun-sparklng water as swiftly as fish. To tell you the truth (though you'll hardly believe it), they had become changed into fish. When they stopped for a moment in a deep pool where the water fell, all froth and bubbles, from the high rocks just overhead, they looked at each other in astonishment. They had tails and scales and ins! It had all come about after they met their friend King Nep a few minutes before. They found him sitting as usual on his mossy rock in the middle of the brook just beyond where the willow tree dipped its branches into the water. of times," Hanid told him, "We've walked up and down it ever since we were little." Little King Nep shook his head. "That's not the way to see a brook. You've only seen the top of it. The right way to see a brook is to swim along the bot- tom, from the beginning of it to the spot where it joins the river to go down to the sea. Let me just change you into fish and you will see what I mean ..." So he spoke a few words which Knarf and Hanid couldn't under- stand, and then he waved the small, three-pronged stick that he always kept by his side--and an instant later Knarf and Hanid were flashing through the water as though they had been fish all their lives instead of just shad- ows-of-children. And what a pleasant, merry, wonderful trip it was, gliding through the water as easily as swallows glide through the air! How different the brook looked among the dark pines. They Saw a rabbit drinking water at the edge and listening with its ears cocked for a fox. They saw a robin taking a bath and a little girl sailing a wooden boat with her brother. And finally, when they reach- ed the spot where the brook join- ed the river to go down to the sea, all at once they found them- selves on the bank again, once more back in their old shape. It took them quite a while to walk all the way to the place where they left King Nep. And when they got there, he was gone. All they could find was a little note which read: "Hope you enjoyed your trip." And they aid.
