Our slaughterable animals at the be
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly in hogs; they
were probably less. The Increase In
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added BY
our farmers.
The full effect Of these efforts began
TO bear their best results In the last
half OF the fiscal year, when the ex-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, 100000
pounds, as against 1885, 100000 pounds
in the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average OF
sO1, 900 900 pounds of total exports for
the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.

some material in shade Of iridescent
blue spangles with a close frilling OF
black lace all round the edge. Her hat
Or bonnet was Of the usual royal shape
and built Of jetted stuff to match her
cloak, with a small white aigrette
