On the Topi Homes i Canadian Coal will be the indirect cause of additional bank accounts for seven Ontario High School students, according to an announcement just made by the Produced in Canada Committee of Ontario. With the approval of the Provincial Department of Education the Produced in Canada Committee is inaugurating an essay contest for students in Collegiate Institutes and High Schools throughout Ontario on the general topic of heating Canadian homes with Canadian coal. 'Students are asked to discuss the advisability of this in essays of from 1000 to 1500 $600 will be divided among the writers of the seven best papers on "Why Should Canadian Homes Heated with Canadian Coal," with the sum of $150 going to the winne the first prize. The second to-seventh prizes are as follows: $100, $75, $60, S50, $40 and $25. An unique feature of the contest, according to the Committee's rules, is the decision to honour each school which boasts a prize winner by presenting to the school library a quantity of Canadian books, the titles to he chosen by the schools themselves. The basic idea underlying the c t-st. says the Committee in a letter to all High School principals, is the desdrability of developing in the minds of the younger generation an appreciation of vital Canadian prohloms and of fostering the habit of studying and vest'igating them.

THREE MILLION IS PAID OFF Tho Province of Ontario in the fiscal year lust closed has not only met all its liabilities and taken all its discounts, but has also paid $3,-000,000 off its debt and achieved a further cash surplus of $278,990. In this showing--the best which the Ferguson Government has been able to make since its accession to otfice--the new liquor control policy figures as no negligible factor. During its first live months of operation it has returned to the provincial treasury a net revenue of $3,330,000. Ontario is apparently on the eve of enjoying further tax reductions on the part of the Ferguson Government. The excellent financial record which Provincial Treasurer Monteith was: able to present last week for the past year, despite the fact that only five months of revenue had been received from the liquor control policy, was declared by Premier Ferguson to bring further tax cuts well within the range of consideration for the next session of the Legislature. In all parts of Ontario the slaugh of sheep by dogs goes on. At i place dogs even got into a farmi enclosure, killed and dragged f sheep considerable distance, wl others in the pen had been won so much that they had to be destroyed. During 1927, the Township of Cramahe has paid over $il200 in sh*eep damages, while the revenue from o taxes amounted to: only $600. It's high time our legislators -vised some means of remedying I situation. If a couple of the curs happened be poisoned ■ or otherwise killed, great "howl" goes up and law enfor ment officials get busy at once. I apparently causes little concern, tept to the unfortunate owner, w ..has to make claims under oath a then have his loss investigated and estimated by an appraiser, getting only part value in the end for the carcass and nothing for loss of time nor depreciation of a carefully selected flock. We don't understand why breeders and municipal officials allow the destruction of sheep to continue year after year without any apparent effort to remedy the situation. The dog tax trebled or quadrupled, and every dog to be registered and carry a or be shot on sight, might improve matters some.

Butter Wrappers at Express Office. OVER 1,100 LBS. BUTTER ON TWO-TIME MILKING R. Wells Lumsden, Athelstan, Que., reports that Buttermaid's Lady, 92,857. (Holstein Friesan) has completed a new world's record on two-time milking of 1,103.75 lbs. butter, her milk production being 22,906 lbs. with an average test of 3.85 per cent fat. Previous high record on two-time milking was that of Aralia DeKol Mead 2nd of 1,073 lbs. butter. Mr. Lumsden advises that the first day's milking was 45.2 lbs. and the highest record was made under normal farming conditions, the cow standing in the stanchion with the rest of the herd in the winter and running in pasture with them in the summer. Her grain ration during the year was one pound of grain to every four pounds of milk produced. In t .Live years as a junior four-year-old and as a five year-old, she has now produced a total of 38,245 lbs. milk with 1,517 lbs. fat (1.896 lbs. butter), another unequalled showing for the breed.
