GREAT AIM OF BEEF
AND PORK PRODUCER
Set All Gain on the Calves and
Pigs During Early Months
of Their Lives.

The aim OF the beef and pork pro
ducer should be to set all the gain ON
the calves and pigs possible during
the early months of their lives.
Calves make much cheaper gains up
to ten months old and pigs up to six
months old than they do after these
periods.
Y is not uncommon now to see well
finished baby beef steers on the mar
ket at the age of. twelve to fifteen
months and occasionally some come
in at less age than that; while the
bulk Of the hogs now come to the mar
ket in well finished condition at eight
months old Weighing around 22F

HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

II is no new experience for settlers
located in fertile country such as
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices. to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost of their farm. Undoubt-
edly this was the experience OF many
farmers during 1915. but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner.
at $4,000 an acre, with terms spread
over a period Of years. He got the
land into good state of cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat When the crop was
threshed he found that 1t only took
half the wheat on tNe farm to pay the
whole purchase price of It.: in short
single years crop paid the cost of
the land. paid all the expenses of op-
GRAFTON and left him a handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land. and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He Is now plan.
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
VS. profits In live st ,ck which will as
sure him good living irrespective OF
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financ al position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated. and trading is done on a cash
basis. with restricted credit.
Detailed figures of Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or throe
hundred million dollars worth of
goods more than she exported. The
balance OF trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid.
iy disappearing. and the present out
look is that by the end of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are illuminating. They are as fol-
,ows:
Exports. Imports.

-Four years ago. in 1912. the balance
of trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance is reduced to only
thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions In Canada. II
