BIG LOSS TO CANADA.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 27.-Canadas
export trade in dairy produce. eggs,
bacon and fat cattle, which a few
years ago was considered one of the
great sources of national wealth, has
dwindled away to an alarming extent.
The shrinkage shown by the compare.
tive trade returns OF the past few
years emphasizes the fact that great
and far-reaching changes have taken
place in this line of Canadian business
A short time ago the export trade in
eggs was an important feature In the
business activities of this country. To.
day this trade has not only receded to
the vanishing point. but eggs during
the past year were actually imported
by the carload from the United States.
1t may be pointed out that one Mon
treal dealer has ten carloads OF eggs
stored in Chicago. which he expects to
bring into this country and sell at a
big profit next year.

DRAINING OF sWAMPs
WILL AID MILLIONS

WASHINGTON. May 27.-The ara
BILE lands now unoccupied In the
United States are becoming so limit
ed In area that those who are inter
ested In the development of the coun-
try are looking into the future to
find homes for the generations yet to
come. Vast areas are either too dry
or too wet for cultivation, but the
one can be reclaimed by irrigation and
the other by drainage. There are 49,
47S.7o0 acres Of swamp land in the
several states which can be redeem
ed The geological survey has sur
veyed most of them and has actually
made maps OF 10000 acres, while,
at the same time 1t has been plan
ming through the reclamation service
to spread the water Of the mountains
over the arid soil Of the plains.
Florida has the largest swamp area,
with more than 100000 acres; Lou
isiana has $500. 900. Mississippi 6,OOO,-
900. Michigan nearly 5000 900, Arkan.

souri, and South Carolina aDcut 2.0OO,-
900 each. while Alabama, California,
New York and Virginia have more
than 100000 each, and other states
small areas. Taking the swamp lands
and overflowed areas altogether that
may be reclaimed to agriculture. they
would furnish farms for 10000, 900
people. and. at conservative esti.

The I.innean society. Selbourne society

Birds can produce evidence of the ex
portation of large numbers of precious
birds. 1t is said that many of these
find their way to America.
II is now said that Americans are
importing other English birds which
will destroy the sparrow. The sparrow
has no fiercer enemy than the English
robin and chafflnch. The robin is an
insect eating bird and would grow fat
on American mosquitoes. Moreover,
he so hates the sparrow that he wages
war with him on all occasions. The
chafiinch likewise detests the sparrow
and fights him to death whenever op.
portnnity occurs Both birds love the
society of humanity and breed freely
in cities where they can obtain some
little arborescence.
Recent sales afford proof OF the ex.
tent Of the destruction which is going
