While the livestock export business in its widest scope is and will probâ€" ably always remain largely a Western interest, there seems no good reason why the Eastern farmer can not add materially to his income by handling a few head of export cattle each year. It was a ready and safe source of inâ€" come in the East a comparatively few years ago, when steers were stallâ€"fed and shipped from this port from all over Ontario and Qpuebec ready for the abattoir. With the market seâ€" curity and stability which would be assured through connection with the Cooperative Wholesale Society a reâ€" vival of the cattle trade seems about to be assured. Certainly it will be most heartily welcome, not only on the wide ranges of the West, but on the amail dairy farms of the East as well. Tourist Trade Ranks Third In Canadian Industries The objective of the Western stockâ€" men is a connection with the great Coâ€"operative Wholesale Society ot England, one of the biggest buyers of foodstuffs in the world. Already such an agreement exists in a small way, affecting 75 head a week, and the Coâ€" operative is reported to be very favorâ€" ably disposed toward the idea of supâ€" plying its 5,000 retail butcher shops with Canadian beef it both the quality and the quantity are kept up. To go into the business on this scale means, of course, the erection of nlants hath plying its 5,000 ratail butcher shops with Canadian beef it both the quality and the quantity are kept up. To go into the business on this scale means, of course, the erection of plants both in the East and the Wost, the finanâ€" cing of which will, it appears, be unâ€" dertaken through the English society, if the bigâ€"scale plan now contemplated is carried out. Freshâ€"killed Canadian beef should have a decidedly better market in Britain than the chilled meat from the Argentine or Australia, Confidence in the restoration of the Canadianâ€"British live cattle trade apâ€" pears to be returning rapidly and withâ€" in a comparatively short time we may again see a revivalâ€"though perhaps in another formâ€"of the very profitable business which existed twenty years or so ago, says The Montreal Daily Star in this editorial. Hundreds of fine Wostern cattle have already gone this year. From Brandon comes the news of a gathering of more than one hundred stockmen who are unanimousâ€" ly in favor of the organization of a Canadaâ€"wide plan for export marketing of livestock and livestock products. They look to the establishment of an export business of between 400 and 500 cattle a woek. No doubht quite a number of Lone Scouts are in possession of .22 riftes, and we urge very strongly that they take particular care as to the manner As far as the Scouts are concerned, although this organization is nonâ€"miliâ€" tary, the use of firearms is not absoâ€" lutely forbidden, and boys are encourâ€" aged to learn to shoot accurately and a badgo is awarded for marksmanship. It is, however, very definitely laid down that all instruction for this badge must be carried out under the aupervision of a competent instructor, and the target practice rules are very stringent. Â¥ In my estimation no one should b¢ ! allowed to carry firearms until he Is' absolutely conversant with the ordinâ€" ary rules of safety covering their use. ’ Apparently some boys, and we ars glad to record that they were not Scouts, had just shot a robin, and they were seen to pick it up shortly afterâ€" wards and throw it into a nearby field, little realizing that their bullet had passed right through their victim and goune speeding on for nearly another block, past numerous ° people who might haey been seriously injured. > â€" .Nt')'v;'lparL from theâ€"well known fact that "A Scout is a friend to animals" and therefore should not us animals or birds as targets for their rifle pracâ€" tico, there arises the question of who should be permitted to use firearms I and who should not. | Recently a very interesting article appeared in the Oshawa Times, writâ€" ten by a Scout Leader in that city who stated that one evening recently, whilst ho was standing in his own garâ€" den, he was startled to hear the whine of a .22 bullet as it passed over his head, followed almost simultaneously by the crack of the rifle. ‘ Cood News For the Farmer AWITH THE ~=4\ 4# NESCOUTS He will be very busy, he said, as he | #s ff’ 70 ‘ ,%M’, s e is returning to England in two weeks.

A concrete proof of its futility was given recently, when the new German warship was launched at Kiel. Limitations imposed on German naval construction have only resulted in that country producing a warship so effiâ€" cient for her size that French standâ€" ards of security have been overturned. The lesson of the Deutschland and the lesson of the Customs Union plan are ultimately the same. It is a vain hopa to keep a great country suppressed by means of rules and regulations. Soorâ€" er or later it will throw them off, and be all the more dangerous through rsâ€" sentment at their imposition.
