A Ton.Weioht Turtle.

That turtle weighing nearly a ton"
(fisherman's weight?) lately landed at
Penzance cannot be either the green
turtle, associated with civic feasts, or
the hawks bill, from which we get tor
toise shell. These two belong to trop-
lcal seas, and are of smaller dimen-
sions. The ponderous "hinseck" caught
off Scilly must be "loggerhead" tur-
tie, which occurs in the Mediterranean,
and sometimes visits our southern
coasts. The .Ioggerhead' is the only
carniyorous turtle, and distinguished
from the green variety by size, shape
of head, and number of plates on the
armor. But he is occasionally cooked
in mistake for his edible cousin, with
disastrous results to the diners. Lon

Russia,s NATURAL Roads.

Russia is almost a roadless land, It
is inconceiyable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track of
the railways in Russia liow.a great en-
pire can have subsisted so long and SO
successfully without even pretense at
roads. The secret lies in the fact that
for five or six months in the year na-
ture herself provides roads over the
greater part of Russia admirable,
smooth, CLASSY roadways over hard
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution of a
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost of land carriage as
near the cheapness of water-borne
freight as possible and it is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is still roadless land.

Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro
gress of 1915 which shows a great In
crease In the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. he also said the i'm
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 80 carloads.
z According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul
ture, the dairy industry had very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase of over 1000, 900 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. in
crease in dairy butter and over 25,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was Also, ,444 lbs.
and 1t brought an average price Of 23c
per lb.; Of creamery butter 5,839.667
lbs. were produced which commanded
zoe per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, ,725 lbs. which sold at
an average price of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as $2,760698, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $925, $50
and the cream at $159,827, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lib. and of sweet cream at 32c
per Id. butter-fat. In connection with
the. dairy industry it is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 190.132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop is timothy which for last season
produced 1913, ,357 tens and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,815 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons
The number of cattle In the province
is given as 63I,005, which is an i'm
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing Improvement in
the dairy industry. Or Feb. IA, 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery In 1915
paid it's patrons rate of 277sc per
lb. for butter fat and had profit re-
naming over all expenses of $5.584
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-.
factured 256O0O lbs. butter and 1906
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2S1l cents.
The development of the dairy indus.
try of Northern Alberta is well indi.
Gated by the growth Of a prominent
dairy business here, which In 1915 pro.
duced 2,525,0 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year
This product has found market in all
parts of Canada and this year will en-
