It is noi feasible to deviations the stock ; through the yard, but it is p bla to give the reader some idea of the regular channels of movement.

When the cattle leave the unloading pens they are counted and this must check with the railroad shipping bill. They are then moved and locked in a pen in the alleys of the commission firza to whom consigned, where Feed and water are available. (It may be stated here that most cattle are fed If vot, the buy- ers take advantage of this and cut the price, 50 a number of shippers try to reach the market a day pre- vious to selling in order that the cat- tle may have a good fill and quiet down.) F) The gate is unlocked and the stock released to the commission firm, after it accepts the count and signs a slp to that effect; it is responsible now for any stealing or mixing of stock. Before the market opens the stock ia sorted according to grade. The mar- ket opens at 8 a.m. and eclc at 4 p.m., and no trading is done b A] or after these hours under penalty provided by the rules the Live Stock Exchange. 'When the market ope enter the pens, look over the stock and makes their bids for {he whole pen if they are of even quality or in- dividuals, according to grade.

The stock is driven to the scales by employes of the comix on firm, sorted and weighed into lots, accord- ing to the grade and price paid. A weigh ticket is made out and stamp=d by employes of the stock yards com- pany showing the weight, owner, commission firm making the sale, purchaser, and agreed price. The stock is now out of the shippers' hands and driven and locked inte pens, according to the same grouping as weighed. Hxport cattle are kept separate, of course, to comply with the quarantine regulations. Cattle that are billed through and stop off to be fed and watered are looked after by the stock yards com- pany. They are unloaded and driven and locked into pens, fed and water- ed, and then reloaded to continue their journey, 3 Calves and sheep are handled much the same as the other classes of live stock, While in the unloading pens the calves are inspected by a repre- sentative of the Markets' Branch {op bobs or suspected calves, and the doubtful ones are ear tagged and re- ceive final inspection when slaughter ed on the rail. Co-operative ship- ments, of course, necessitate 'the marking of the animals so there cam be pro rated settlement. This is best done by ear tagging the calves and the use of paint colors for the sheep and lambs, When hogs leave the unloading Pens they are counted and checked the same as the other stock. They are taken direetly to the scales and weighed, then locked into pens and either fed and watered or not, ae- cording to instruction from the own- er. Most hogs here are sold on the "woighed off car' basis. They are graded by the Government graders before selling, and a gradlag sheet accompanies each lot. The selling is much the same as for the cattle and the stock yards company de- mands that all gates he locked whem under their care, and a slip signed: when released. Here and There r - Sawn lumber production in Nova Scotia during 1925 totalled 300 mil- lion feet, according to the provincial government statistics. Of this quan- tity 175 million feet have been ex- ported. Canada's mineral output for 1925 is estimated at $228,440,000, as com- pared with $209,585,406 for 1924. The previous record was $227,359, 665 in 1920, when metal prices were about 35 per cent. higher than in 1925. There are 4,045,760 acres of home- stead lands in Manitoba in a radius of 20 miles from railway lines. In all there are 25,286 quarter sections, or sufficient to settle 20,000 families, the bulk of the land being in Eastern Manitoba. The value of wheat delivered at Western Canadian points from Aug- ust 1 to December 15, 1925, was $338,800,000, representing an aver- age cash return to farmers of over $1,300 per farm.
