The auto is not now condemned by the farming community as it was Automobiles are .becoming very enrumon, and it seems about time that drivers should have learned the rules of the road. When a team meets an. auto both should pass by turning to the right. When an auto passes a team from ‘ival. the. team should turn to the right and the auto pass on the left side. The rules are ust the same as for driving, but there is greater necessity for observing them. The auto or team taking the Wrong side Without agreement of the other party is assuming a risk in case of accident. Foolish drivers occasionally annoy auto- ists by see-sawing in going un hill. Should an accident occur by the autoist trying to pass to the left. the driver of the team would be held responsible.

This is but a brief reference to some of the points in Mr. Arkell’s survey. It would seem. that Whlle the war lasts there Will be an in- creasing demand for meats of all kinds, for eggs. poultry and dmrv products. particularly cheese. After the war is over there Will be some readjustments‘ that can- not now be foreseen, but through the enormous destruction of live stock in Eurone. and the tremen- dous drains that have been made on the surplus products of the rest of the world. there must re- sult an enhanced value in live stock of all kinds. There may be some urcertaintv as to maiaet conditions of grain after the war. but .nlot so as to live stock.a.nd live stock nroducts. Beef.â€"We produce good beef in Canada, but the quantity of prime available for the British market is as yet quite limited. The home market and the. United States ap- propriate all this. After an inter- esting trial. however, it has been found that France is. and Will con- tinue to be a good market for our frozen beef; possibly also Italy. Baconâ€"Through a lessening of the Danish imports. due largely to German purchasing in Denmark. Canada has been enabled greatly to increase her exports. The war demands have been great, and the British workman has been able to buy bacon more freely. Canada can hold this increased trade if we keep up the quality and carefully look to the method of curing. The outlook for the feeding of hogs is promising at the present_ time. Eggsâ€"The shutting off of the big Russian supply has made a big opening for Canadian eggs, which will continue as long as the war lasts. After the War Canada can hold her trade if We pay spe- cial attention to quality and grading. With a View to studying the situation on the spot and acquir- ing information for the direction of Canadian production, Mr. H. S. Arkell, assistant live stock com- missioner, early in the year Went to England and France, and on his return prepared a .report which is amongst the most valu- able and suggestive articles in The Agricultural War Book, 1916. This report is also contained in pamphlet No. 19 of the Live Stock Branch. The United Kingdom in the fie-l cal year 1914- 15 imported meatsl h~v1ng a total value of $311, 000â€" 000 Onlv $81, 000, 000 of this c .me- {10m British possessions.

Since the war 3 broke out there have been contin- uous demands for meats of all? kinds. Enormous supplies hive been sent forward by the Argen-I tine, Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Uruguay. Some“ fairly large orders have also been placed in Canada.

To the ordinary man matches are quite inconsiderable, since he thinks of them by the box, so often obtained for nothingâ€"or next to it. But it was less than a century ago that one John Walker, an apothecary, of Stockton- on-Tees, found the release of the smok- er from the tinder-box or the live coals in the grate. It was an accidental spilling of the solution that took fire which gave the hint, and not long afterwards. in 1827, he placed on the market his boxes of matchesâ€"lucifers -â€"cont‘aining fifty each, at one shilling. They lighted on sandpaper. But he neglected to patent his invention, and the Reading schoolmaster, Isaac Hol- denn, who a little later on hit on the same idea. made the some mistake. It was not long before the “box of matches” fell to a penny, and finally was given away to the purchaser of tobacco. 8006-hunter Finds Remarkable Plants For Western Canada ALFAEFA IN ARCT§€ CIW PLA‘IGRGUNDS THE FIRST MATCHES THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. 51-15 vsuu. unu. um: ILF, .Ifalfa seed.
