The Most Valuable Book.

The Medico Laurentian museum Of
Florence, Italy, has In Its possession
what Is said to be the most valuable
book In the world. This book is called
the "Codex Amiatinus" and Is pro-
nounced by some scholars to be per-
haps the oldest and by all odds the
best ancient Latin manuscript Of the
Bible. The work is believed to have
been copied from the translation by st.
Jerome. which he made direct from
early Greek and Hebrew scripts. Its
origin is placed in the ninth century.
and is thought to have been the hand
work of English priests.

unite in efforts to get rid Of rats,
much more lasting results may be at
tained. If continued from year to
year, such organized efforts are very
effective.
Community Efforts.
Cooperative efforts to destroy rats
have taken various forms In different
localities. In cities. municipal en-
ployees have occasionally been set ut
work hunting rats from their retreats,
with at least temporary benefit to
the community. Thus, In 1904, at
Folkestone, England. Il town OF about
$4,000 inhabitants, the corporation
employees, helped by dogs, In three
days killed 1,645 rats.
Side hunts in which rats are the
only animals that count In the con-
test have sometimes been organized
and successfully carried out. At New
Burlington, o., q rat hunt took place
some years ago in which each of the
two sides killed over 5000 rats, the
beaten party serving a banquet to
the winners.
There is danger that organized rat
hunts will be followed by long in
tervals of Indifference and inaction.
This may be prevented by Offering
prizes covering u definite period of
effort. Such prizes accomplish more
than municipal bOunties, because they
secure n friendly rivalry which stim-
ulates the contestants to do their ut
most to win.
In England and some of Its colonies
contests for prizes have been organ

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN GROWTH OF HOGS
Problem of Exercise Is Difficult
to Solve in Winter-Good
Plan Is Outlined.

Exercise Is M of the most impor-
tant factors In the growth Of hogs.
Hogs that are confined In a small lot
do not develop sufficient stretch and
frame, points out Ray GatewoOd, In
structor in animal husbandry In the
agricultural college.
'The problem Of exercise" said Mr..
Gatewood. us more difficult to solve
In winter than In any other season Of
the year due to the fact that hogs
should be kept Off the pasture for the
good of the pasture.
Exercise can best be provided by
allowing the hog free range on u field
which Is fenced hog tight and which
has not been planted to any crop. Stalk
Acids in which cattle are running make
a desirable place for stock hogs. Be-
cause hogs are likely to remain In
their sheds too much In the winter
they should feed some distance from
their sleeping quarters. This forces
them to take a certain amount of ex-
ercise."

WESTERN CANADKS
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year.
but the price obtained was double that
Of 1915, which In turn was almost
double that of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1915,
many farmers were able to pay for
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evil
dence Of the prosperity of Western
Canada Is shown by the fact that n
in every twenty of the population Is
now the owner Of an automobile. II
the farming community alone Is taken.
1t will be found that the proportion Of
automobile owners Is still greater. The
bank clearings of the leading cities of
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the corre-
spending periods Of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding.
In Winnipeg $500, 100000 more was
cleared In the II months ending No
MEMBER 30 than In the same months q
year ago.
The entry of the United States into
the war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
are now working together for the
same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting n greater production Of
fOodstuffs. In this connection Western
Canada offers a wonderful opportu-
nifty. Not only a larger quantities
of staple fOodstuffs be produced, but
the cost Of production Is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
the fact that the price of farm prod.
ucts has doubled during the past three
years. there are millions of acres Of
arabic land In Western Canada which
can still be bought ut a low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
In 1913. 1t Is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop In the year 1916, when
the largest crop ever known In the
West was harvested. The year 1918
should also see a further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
cradle sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep, and such was
the demand for breeding animals last
fall that 1t was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield IN
increase of between 25 and so per cent
In 1918.
Those who are contemplating coming
to Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put In a crop and harvest it
in the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves, but also to the great cause for
which the Allies, including the United
States, are now fighting.-Advertise-
