attention to the wealth that has come
to the farmers of Canada within the
past few years. 1t is not only in grain
growing that unqualified and almost
unequaled success has followed hon
est effort, but the raising of horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs has been large
source of profit. These are facts that
are well known to the many friends
and acquaintance of the thousands of
farmers from the United States who
have acquired wealth on the prairies
of Western Canada. Farms of from
one hundred and sixty to six hundred
and forty acres of the richest soil may
be secured on reasonable terms, and
with an excellent climate, with school
system equal to any in the world, and
desirable social conditions, little else
could be asked.
Canadian statesmen are today busily
engaged planning for the future of the
returned soldier with view to making
him independent of state help after the
immediate necessary assistance has
been granted, the main idea being to
show in the fullest degree the country's
appreciation of the services he has
rendered.
But, now that the war is ended, and
the fact apparent that Of all avOcations
the most profitable and Independent
is that of the farmer, there will be a
strong desire to secure farm lands for
cultivation. Canada offers the Oppor-
tunity to those seeking, not as specula-
ton but as production. The deepest
interest is taken by Federal and Pro-
vincial authorities to further the well
fare of tire farmer and secure maxi
mum return for his efforts. Large
sums Of money are spent in educational
and experimental work. Engaged in
Experimental and Demonstration
farms, and in the agricultural colleges,
are men of the highest technical knOwl-
edge and practical experience, some be-
ing professors Of international reputa-
ton. The results of experiments and
tests are free and available to all. Ed
ucational opportunities for farmers are
the concern of the Government and
appreciation is shown by the number Of
farmers who attend the free courses.
Agriculture in Canada has reached a
high standard, Notwithstanding which
lands are low in~price.
Thus upon the United States and
Canada for many years will rest the
great burden of feeding the world.
With free interchange of travel, diff
culties of crossing and recrossing re-
moved, Canada may look for speedy
resumption of the large influx of set
tiers from the United States which pre-
vailed previous to the war. During
the war period there was dread of
something, no one seemed to know
what: if the American went to Canada
he might be conscripted, put in prison,
or in his attempt to cross the border he
would meet with innumerable difficult
ties, most of which, of course, was I'M
true. These untruths were circulated
for a purpose by an element, which, it
was discovered, had an interest In TO-
menting and creating trouble and dis
trust between two peoples whose Ian
guage and aims in life should be any

HALT HOG CHOLERA RAVAGES
Farmers Should Insist on Animals
Being Vaccinated by Compe-
tent Veterinarian.

| Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Farmers should insist that all the
stock hogs which they purchase for
feeding purposes should be properly
vaccinated by competent and consci-
entious veterinarians in order to pre-
vent the spread of hog cholera. On
like the larger stock yards of the coun-
try, which are properly protected by
qualified government representatives,
many of the smaller local yards are en-
tirely without safeguards against
cholera.
Immature hogs go from the farms of
origin mainly because of lack of feed
or on account of disease. The pur-
chaser who buys such sick hogs on
the market for feeding purposes usual
ly introduces disease into his home
herd. To stimulate production and
to conserve our available pork supply
none but vaccinated, immunized
healthy hogs should be maintained in
aid in increasing food supplies, he
should help increase our hog supply
by routing disease.
The practice of buying hogs from
public stock yards for feeding and
stocking purposes, custom which has
been intensified in this war emergency,
has to a large degree complicated the
work of controlling hog cholera. In
many cases, owing to improper equip
ment for immunization and disinfec-
ton of hogs, new centerS of infection
have been introduced in communities
previously free from the disease, and
the movement of hogs from public
stock yards having no supervision by
state or federal authorities and where
treatment for the prevention of chOl-
era is not compulsory is serious
handicap in the fight to prevent the
spread of infection.
| Some losses have resulted from
shipments of stocker hogs even when
originating at public stock yards hav-
ing government inspection, particular
ly in the early beginning of extensive
movements of these animals for feed
ing purposes. Several factors were
responsible, such as improper equip
ment for immunization and disinfec-
ton, insufficient doses Of serum for
hogs exposed to infection, the appli-
cation of treatment promiscuously by
anyone chosen by the buyer of the
hogs, and the use of the serum-alone
treatment, which produces an immuni-
ty Of very short duration. These are
proofs positive that "haste makes
waste" but these Objectionable fea-
lures are being overcome. Where
proper equipment is being installed,
dosage of serum increased and the
treatment placed in the hands of COM
petent veterinarians, losses occurring
in shipments Of this character have
been reduced to a minimum.
There is reason to believe that with
the various agencies in each state,
such as county agents and farm bu-
reaus, interested in the increased pro-
ductiOn of meat animals, a system of
exchange could be established to bring
together farmers with a surplus of
hogs and no feed and those having
more feed than hogs, with view Of
having the transfer of these animals
effected locally and avoid the long and
dangerous journey to public stock
market and back to farms Oftentimes
in the same community.

proved unquestionably successful. The
results showed that farmers with self
feeders kept more hogs than they
could otherwise. This suggested to
the county agents that the self-feeder
be made the basis of a campaign for
more pork. Building ''bees" or DEM
onstrations were held by agents, at
which self-feeders were constructed
with the help of the farmers attend
ing the meetings, and instructions
given for their use, particular empha-
sis being placed upon their advan.
tage in connection with pasturing
hogs. As result of the campaign
745 additional self-feeders are now re.
ported in use and 1900 more hogs are
being raised with them.

anyone in the said enumerated clas-
ses, (see act above quoted) to follow
his ordinary secular vocation on the
Sabbath day, because it is immoral
and is of pernicious effect, and
though it may be conceded a single
otfense may be liable only to the pen
atty prescribed by the statute, yet a
succession of such acts becomes a
nuisance and is indictable. 1t is suf-
ficient that the acts which the law
holds as illegal and forbidden have
been done in such public manner as
to have been open to observation Of
the public. Their tendency is to cor
rupt public morals and the example
is pernicious, contrary to the law,
and the we'll being and good of So
ciety.
"Parties violating this law are liza
BILE to indictment, as thereby, it De-
comes a nuisance"
By another statute it is also pro-
vided "That any person who shall
hunt, fish, or play at any game OF
sport, or be drunk on Sunday, as a
foresaid, shall be subject to the samie
proceedings and liable to the same
penalties, as those who work on the
Sabbath"
''Infractions of the provisions of
this statute are punishable as undef,
the above quoted statute and are
only indictable in this court when iti
amounts to a nuisance. Engaging
in business on Sunday or in any of
said sports becomes indictable only
when they become a public nuisance.
It will be observed that no inquisito-
rial power is conferred upon the
grand jury, and hence a prosecutor
is required in each case unless the
grand jury shall present the offender,
in which event the attorney general
may prefer an Indictment or the
court upon said presentment order
an exofficio prosecution.
Under an opinion delivered in Ap
ril 1919 in State VS.. Nashville base
ball club, reported in the May Num-
Der of the Southwestern Reporter, it
is held that neither of these statutes
apply to baseball, and hence we have
no statute against Sunday baseball,
and for any redress in the criminal
courts against this sport on that day
resort must be had to the common
law, that is, an indictment for Great
ing a nuisance. As before stated the
observance of this day as a day of
