-NOTES MANY CHANGES — After an absence of thirty years Mr. George J. J. Clark, formerly of Montrose, P. E. Island, now Presi- dent of the National fireworks, West Hanover, Mass. has returned to his native land. He was accom- panied by his wife and youngest son, Milton. For the past two weeks they have been touring the Province and visiting numerous relatives and friends. Naturally Mr. Clark has noted many changes and especially the development of the fox industry, but he deplored the fact that ninety per cent of the food consumed by fox ranches was imported instead of produced within the Province. He noted, too, the absence of manus fucturlng industry. What. with a, iviirvil)’ of fish and insufficient prices for farm produce he wonden ed how conditions could be amelior- ated. Mr. Clark is one of our suc- cessful Islanders and has amassed considerable wealth, hence his ob. servations are worthy of note, Qn their return to Masachusetts Mr. and Mrs. Clark and son propose to l-"Vel l"! Vlingr Canada. where Mr. Clark has mining interests. They are Visiting Mr. Clark's sister, Mrs. J. D. Crockett-AS.

-FAMILY REUNION-A happy family reunion was held recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clovis Gaudet of mmont Baywhen Mrs. Gaudeffls mother. Mrs. Marie Rme Arsenault celebrated her 32nd birthday. Mrs. Arsenault. who en- JOY-ii very mod health, has been married three times and an inter- esting awry. perhaps unique in the history of Canada. is told in con- nection with her spouses. When Mrs. Arsenimlt first stood before the altar. with Stanislaus Araenault, at the same Nuptial Mass. were married, Placide Arsenault and Arsene Arsenault. The latter two gentlemen beccme in due time hus- bands of Mrs. Arsenault. It is.not very often that there is a ttriple “Hiding: but still more unique that there the fact that the bridegrooms should each become in time the hus- band of one of the brides at their first marriage ceremony. Another imeresting fact in connection with this family was the frict that each 0f the bridegroams exist-ed in the church services. Mrs. Arsenaulvs first husband was the organist of Egmont 3w ; the second was B" aJtar boy and the third choir muster. firs. Arsenaults living children grandchildren and great grand-children were present at the reunion. besides many other relatives. After a sumptuous supper had been served. Mr. Charles M. Arsenault read an address congratulating Mrs, Arsenauit on her attaining her 83nd birthday. Mr. Arsenault also added his congratulations to those of the guests. Mrs. Arsenault had s. family of nine children. only one of whom has pro-deceased her. The children are. ma. Joseph Arscnault. Quebec; Mrs. Ben Iodlal’. Somer-

Sheep like to live 0n hills and will move about and find feed on very poor pasture. They will thrive better if abundance of grass ls av- ailable, but breeding flocks can be III-Fluted on poor and inexpensive land, to the profit of their ovmer.

Low wet land is not desirable for sheep raising, and. will often develop foot rot. If‘ there is a hill in the sheep posture the flock will usually be found on the top of it at night.

On many of the hill pastures in Scotland, sheep are driven to the bottom of the hill in the morning and they graze on their way up to sleep on the tap at night. High land. with light or gravelly soil, makes a desirable kind of sheep farm. Sheep should not be raised on low, wet land. nor on very sandy soil.

Taking one year with another, over a considerable period of time, there are few farm animals that will pay better profits than sheep. The wool is an extra crop, and though the price may vary g, great deal, the amount of the clip is rea- sonably certain.

In the early pioneer days in Can- ada, before carding andspinning by hand was a lost art, the sheep fur- nished clothing for the farmer and his family right at home.

The supply of mutton and wool aflorded by sheep was of very sub- stantial value to early settlers, par- ticularly to those from Scotland and Iivllmd. whose women had an ex- pert Knowledge of carding, spin- ning, knitting and weaving. Sheep are still ope of the sheet anchors of farming in this countryand will, it ls hoped, increase in popularity with our agriculturists as time goes on. It is very easy for o. caretaker of sheep to become fond of his charges. Sheep have attractive and intelli- gent faces. and while to the casual observer they all look alike, in real- ity each one has s. distinct person- ality. and the man who is feeding them soon learns to kmw his sheep. one from another, and to form at- tliclfments for them that makes his business a. most interastlng one. The shepherd on the hills, with his dogs and his sheep. has at times a life of toil, but the intelligence of his dogs, and the trusting helpless- ness of his sheep, or the courageous defensive attitude of some old ram. make interesting diversions.

A flock of well-graded sheep, uni- form in size and appearance, is ssmething to delight the eye of ev- ery lover of good livestock. There is nothing more attractive about a farm.

Sheep, being ruminants,’ can con- sume a good deal of roughage for feed, consequently they can often be fed quite cheaply. Clover and alfalfa are at present favorite rzughages. and a mixed green crop of cats. peas and vetches, makes good sheep feed. Many breeders prefer alslke and red clover to al- falfa, particularly when these clov- ers are cut before the blossom be- gIns to fade.

Breeding ewes need not be fed any grain until after they lamb. They can be wintered well ‘ on good nendighage and roots. turnips prefer- r .

Turnips make good feed for ewes when nursing lambs, but it is a good plan to have enough roots to feed a few of the sheep all through the winter. Sheep are iattened in Scot- land by “fo1ding" them on small ar- eas of turnips and feeding them on coke. The fence is msved as they eat the turnips out, and they can be depended upon to scoop them com- pletely out of the ground.

Ewes may be fed mangles, but they are not safe feed for rams or weth- ers. Mangels and sugar beets con- tain alkali substances, which form gravel in the kidneys of male sheep and frequently cause their death. Turnips are the safest and best roots to feed sheep.

Oats and oil cake are the two bestconcentrates ta feed to breed- ing sheep. The oats r: best fed whole, as sheep are good 8141111815 of feed. Oats are good feed for growing lambs. but when it comes to fattening, less fibrous grain is bet- ter. For fattening purposes no Canadian-grown grain is quite as good as field peas. The peas need not be ground, andif mixed with oil cake and some whole oats will e a rat-ion well balanced, palatab e. and one with excellent flashing qualities.

In districts where corn can be rip.- ened it makes good feed. when mix- ed with cil cake. for fattenini! lambs. In mixinfi oats, peas and oil cake. equal amounts of the lat- ter two might be fed with four or five times as much oats as peas. Some recent experiments have shown rye to be useful feed for fat- tening lambs. Rye has not alwayi proved to be a satisfactory feed for finishing either market cattle or hogs, barley being preferable for both these purposes- In W"! 9X" pcrimefits with feeding lambs, rye has produced very good results-

If rye proves to be a satisfactory feed for lambs. it may be a mans of marketing a considerable unount of this grain that is now IN" "ii the western prairies. There seems to bs sufficient data t» make it quits safe to Md rys to fattening lambs with good results. -.

It seems preferable to use fys in a mixed ration with oats and oil cake. This might be composed of so lbs. cats. Mlbanyeand iolbs. ofoli cake. and towartgs the end oft t5 feeding period e rye mlifh -

' slightly increased. In srmc cases rye has been fed alone with good results. but a mixed ration is usual- ly more satisfactory. Tbs variety of

mixture adds to its palatlbil-

construction of the old world.

HALIFAXTIII-FPING ancofms INCREASE

(By The Canadian Press) HALIFAX. July 23—A total of 1,199,007 tons of cargo were handled through the port of Halifax during the first six months of 1935, ac- cording to the Halifax Harbor Commissioners’ monthly report. This figure reprerents a substantial gain cve: 1934 when the total was 1,129,068 tons.

The number of vessels arrivinl and department from Halifax shows a similar increase. 2,753 having been recorded during the past half. year, compared with 2.493 durng the same period of i934.

A large drop in total tonnage for June, 1935, was shown from the same month last year. The past month saw only 108.315 tons hand- led, while 1a=t year the amount was 142,231 tons.

Mall traffic for the first six months of this year dropped off from that for 1934 when 74 361) bags were handled. compared with 66.469 bags this year.

Casuals noun. ftaofons

As the Dominion of Canada cov- ers such a large territory, there may be considerable differences of opin- ion as t0 the various floral regions which may be recognized. Taking into account the topophaphy, clim- ate, and present distribution of plants, there are, at any rate. six well-defined floral areas. namely, Arctic, Northern, Eastern, Southern, Prairie and Western. or Cordilleran. With regard to the Arctic region, while the growing season is short and the lower strata of the soil re- mains frozen. it is a mistake to sup- pose that this area is devoid oi’ plant life. As a matter of fact, the colours of the Arctic flowers, such as the beautiful blue luplns, azaleas. rhododendrons, and Arctic prifnros- es, are deeper than elsewhere. Like the other floral areas, the Arctic has plants that are not found out- side its own district. just as in the Southern area there are 4'7 kinds of plants which do not occur in any other part of Canada. Although only three species of trees appear to be confined to the prairies (the large- leaved cottonwood, narrow-leaved cottrnwood. and prairie ash), the prairie region can boast of 267 spe- cies of characteristic plants which do not grow outside the great plains, while in the eastern region the spe- cies of plants found in that area alone are too numerous to enumer- ate. As there is a certain amount of overlapping of the fioras of any two adjacent areas, the boundaries of the various regions are not to be defined too rigidly.

The value of vegetables in reduc-

ing the food costs in the farm home

is not fully realized, and because of

this there are comparatively few good vegetable gardens around the

average farm home. A crop value

of $30 for one-quarter of an acre of land in different vegetables is eer-

tainly not excessive, and taking for example one province alone. namely Nova Scotfa, where there are 50.000 farm and garden holdings capable of producing crops worth this am- ouhf, for household use only. the total amount would be equivalent to sisooooo. 111m are. o! course- many essential details to which close attention must be given if success in vegetable growing is to be achieved but the management of these details is not beyond lnyviifl who can form reasonable judgments in his undertakings.

CANADIAN TOBACCO OROWING

The history of tobacco growing 1n Canada reaches back to the early French colonial days. The French settlers cn the banks of the St. Lawrence found the custom of to. bacco smoking was general among the natives. (but, partly owing to governmental Opposition, the white population did not acquire the ha- bit qulckly. Indeed. several years passed befare farmers began to EYOW ihe plant. Actually, it was not until about 1735 that the govern- ment gave any encouragement to tobacco growing. with the settle- ment of what is now Ontario, the tobacco area was extended. and it is probable that the Loyalists ~wh> came to Canada after the American Revolution of 1775 brought seed from the tobacco districts in the south. There are records of shipments of tobacco frm Essex county. Ontario, shortly after the war of 1812-14. the leaf being sent down the Mississippi to New Orleans. In 1871. four years after Confederation, the first decen- nial census SIIOWCCl that 399.870 pounds of tobacco were grmvn in Ontario, and 1.195.345 pounds in Quebec. From than onwards. pro- duction expandcd and reached its peak in 1932 with a total crop of 54 million pounds. Tobacco growing in Canada plays an important part in agricultural production, and in an- swer to many requests the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture has issued extensive information on the culture. care. and commerce of the plant, contained in four separate publications, entitled respectively "Tobacco Growing in Canada." "Varietal Studies of "life-Cured, Burley. and Dark Tobaccos." "In- sects Affecting T-bacco." and "Soil Texture in British Columbia."
