Atter a close study of the markets of Great Britain and Europe, I consider that it Canada is to reap the reward comâ€" mercially which was opened to her by war service she must follow it up by a national peace effort. The name of ‘Canada‘ is the finest introduction to European markets toâ€"day.

Practically the entire Prince Edward Island output was marketed UOK®. l While the fox, like the dog, is not | fastidious in regard to its food, the | observance of certain dietetic prinâ€" ciples has proved eminently desirable and successful. Meat is supplementâ€" ed with biscuits, rough bread, vegeâ€" lcables. oatmeal, berries, apples, milk | and eggs, as well as grass. The genâ€" [crll practise is to feed twice a dayâ€" some farmers prefer the oneâ€"mealâ€"a lday systemâ€"and at regular hours. as the foremost live stock industry in Prince Edward Island. The total silâ€" ver fox population outnumbers that of all other live stock combined, while the estimated valuse and this, asset, bearing in mind the high prices which are paid for stock, is incalculable. Certainly it mnst represent several million doilars. From the economic polnt of view it represents potentfal wealth, and accordingly is now reâ€" ceiving every assistance from the Provincial Government. Prince Edward Island fox furs are now as famous throughout the world and an accepted trade mark throughâ€" out the furriers‘ industry as Camor-‘ nian peaches, Fraser River Salmon or Tasmanian apples. ‘ To keep the animals im the pink of condition care must be observed to use only clean dishes. Previous to being killed a special diet comprising boiled barley, oats, homey or a proâ€" prietary stock food is given because these foods give that sheen and gloss to the fur which is so eminently deâ€" sirable. The annual feeding charges vary from $40 to $60 a pair, though large scale farming may enable this charge to be reduced. Still, under the ‘The inner space is subâ€"divided into pena.

That farming, as an industry, has no national status, needs no proof. We have at the present time Provincial status, but examine the personnel of any national Board, even the "Wheat Board," and notice the very limited representation that agriculture is given. A town woman represents the farm women on an existing national committee toâ€"day. Bhe is president of the W. I., and a very Ane, capable woâ€" man, but utterly unacquainted with rural conditions,. She could represent urbhan women thoroughly. It is very desirable, of course, that the industry flourishes for the personâ€" al bonefit of those interested in It. But that is not enough. No class, in a democracy, has the right to a progâ€" perity out of proportion to its national value, and attained at the expense of other necessary national industries. A jusat cause, This was dealt with in our last letterâ€"not fully, for there are so many sides to this questionâ€" but sufficiently to vindicate our claim. We shall confine the discussion this week to the matter of organization. Why organize? Let us clearly underâ€" stand that the only just reason that any industrial factor of national life can give for organization is that its workers may thus do more effectual work as natlonal factors. . _Women are forbidden en U.F.o.â€"â€"U.F.w.o.

James was certainly defeated, but his defeat cost the country, which was unprepared for war, $19,260,000. Then, to make matters worse, there arose Continental entanglements, with the result that a four months‘ war with France cost another $143,755,000.
