There is something radically wrong in the methods of sto ing An this country that calls for a vast improvement. The standard of bedt placed on the market is low, suggesting that the r beef cattle as a part of the dustry is sadly neglected financial loss is the direct Dr Tolmie, M.P.. in a recent address 1¥ the House of Commons, said that only ten per cent. of the cattle going through our inspected abattoirs in this country are fit for export to the Old Country, or are in finished con- dition. That is one reason why Wwe cannot successfully compete with the Argentine on the British side. Dr, Tolmie showed that the loss was $75 on a steer of 900 pounds that had not been properly prepared for mar- ket. The loss on $00,000 steers go- ing through the abattoirs was a tre meondous ape, This is bad for farmers and bad for the country, and the consumers have to be con tented with inferior beef, The cause for this seems to be the desire of the farmers to obtain quick returns with the least possible outlay and the pre valence of too, many butcher's grades. -- K ras. for sale ising of farm in- Much resuit the The evil could be lessened by cutting out many of the intermediate grades, thus compelling the farmers to put their stock in better condition. The strange thing about this whole ques-, tion is that the consumer is com- pelied to pay the highest price for his beef without regard to guality, and he will welcome any' improvements; that might he brought about With the prevailing prices for dressed beef it cannot be contended that it does not pay. to raise heef. It does .pay, but an improved system of grading] and inspection should discourage the! the markets. A SATISFACTORY PEACE. By royal proclamation Sunday last 'Wis named as the day national thanksgiving: for the conclusion of peace. The local elWic celebration took place on the previous Sunday after word of the signing of peace had been received, but at this time, to the world-wide significance of the event, it will not be out of place to make reférence to the memorable oc- ecasion. Seldom, in the long history of wars, have the victors gained all that they sought, and there are many outstand- ing instances where diplomats failea to seture the fruits of sacrifice and suffering. But the present peace treaty, so far as the Allies themselves are directly concerned, expresses the will of the people regarding Germany and Austria.' There are some people who think "the terms too severe and athers who think they were not se- vere enough, but all will agree that br the main it is a satisfactory peace, and that the ohject sought has been attained. When considered in relation to the sacrifices in men, money and mater- als, this is a cause for real thanks- giving, and the Allied statesmen have proven worthy of the confidence re. posed in them. They have accoms plished a task of great magnitude that calls for expressions of deep and) abiding gratitude, and this will ever be a consolation to all who have suf- fered or have been bereaved by the death of dear ones in the conflict, Had the diplomats failed it is diffs cult to think what the political Te- sults might have beens in British overseas dominiofis, but we can now Join in national thanksgiving not only for the success of opr arms bul also for the strength of the bonds of union throughout the Empire and the closer kinship with our American brothers, Canada now returns to peace, and will not again be called upon to take up arms within another genera- tion, The Socialistic strife in: Russia and Hungary will die down in time.
