HONOR FOR CANADA
Wins Championships at Interna-
tiOnal Live Stock Show.
Splendid Exhibits, Both Of Animals
and GRAIN Won Admiration Of
Judges and Spectators.

One of the most interesting sights
at the International Live Stock show
at Chicago was the evening parades
Of horses and cattle. AS the Cana
dian section Of these parades came In
to view, and as it passed around the
ring, there was continued applause.
There were two or three reasons for
this, the principal one being that in
this section there were the wonderful
Clydesdales, the Belgians and the Per-
cherons that had carried off Champion
ships and first prizes. The province
Of Saskatchewan had a splendid dis
play Of Clydegdales and showed In q
number Of classes, and IN every class
they got In the money. A remarkable
and noted winning was that Of the
University Of Saskatchewan, showing
"Lady Bruce" female Clydesdale, in
a class Of "a and taking second. In
competition there were entries from
such famous studs as Conyngham Bros.
Of Wilkesbarre, P. L. James of EastOn,
Mass, and George Chlett Of the same
state. She was beaten by an Imported
mare, but was later made champion
American-bred mare and reserve
grand champion, an honor never before
conferred upon anything but an inn
ported animal.
The following are some Of the GOOD
things that Canada won at the Inter
national, in a fair fight and no favors.
Grand championship for Clydesdale-
stations; championship for American
bred Clydesdale mares; reserve senior
and reserve grand championships for
Clydesdale mares; grand champion
ship for Southdown sheep; sweepstakes
grand championship for wheat for the
continent Of America; championship
for Durum wheat for America.
Another of the reasons for the APP
plause given the Canadian sections Of
the parade was the heartiness with
which the American spirit was imbued
that impelled 1t to greet with the full
est appreciation the efforts of the win
ner, and the hundreds OF Canadians In
the immense audience Of the amphi- =
theater appreciated 1t.
The purpose that Canada had In
making exhibits from their farms,
whether it was Of live stock-and they
had It there in all branches-grains,
grasses or roots, was to demonstrate
that the war had not created devasta-
ton, that the country was alive with
Interest In the matter of production
and that 1t had ability to produce in q
manner that would bring 1t champion
ships, and what better place than the
International, where 1t would be placed
before thousands, many Of whom, with
the enlightenment thus gained and
with desire to better their condition,
would be made to realize that in the
neighboring country to the north there
was an opportunity that 1t might be
Of advantage to them to embrace

RATION FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Combination Of Corn, Bran, MiddlInes
and Tankase Is Recommended
for Hen Flock.

A practical ration for good egg pro
duction is mash and scratch grains as
follows: Make up grain ration. of 1S
pounds of corn and pounds of mash.
Mix up 8 pounds of bran, pounds of
middlings and 8 pounds Of tankage.
The birds should eat the 10 pounds Of
mash while consuming the 25 pounds
Of scratch grain. If meatscrap is used
in place of tankage, use 31h pounds,
since 1t contains 10 per cent less pro-
tein. Feed only one-third Of the daily
grain ration In the morning in deep
litter. This encourages the hens to eat
the mash. With scratch feed, I'LL up
their craws just before they go to roost
and this should last them about twelve
hours.

Worn With Fur Jackets

Usually duvetyn frocks are worn
With jackets or long fur coats which
must necessarily be removed imme-
diately upon entering a heated place !;
this process gives an excellent oppor-
tunity for the gowns to show to great
advantage as the Frenchiness Of their
construction energies. Recently there
was seen a cloak Of midnight blue
duvetyn with a big straight collar and
rather small cuffs made Of krhmmer.
The lines Of the wrap were straight
and plain, being slightly held in toward
the hem. The wraps lining was
sllvery gray satin and the dress worn
under 1t was the same material, made
up into a One-plece frOck that dis
closed not the slightest suggestion Of
trimming Of any sort. You see, the
wrap and the dress were so much
real part Of each other that neither
was perfect without the accompani-
ment Of its mate. So with many OF
the newer winter frocks, they need
their specially designed wraps to make
them appear at their very best.

Of their creations are worn and the
copies that issue from our native shops
are nupberless. The vogue for draped
gowns for formal wear has been most
definitely established as the winters
most vital fashion expression. To be
sure, the one-piece frock finds many a
place in smart evening social gather
ings, but 1t takes second place beside
the gowns that are draped and made
Of rich, smooth, thick and drapable
stuffs. Velvet ranks as a leader, and
brocades Of the handsomest variety
also find their legitimate places. Then,
of course, there are any number Of
combinations and variations whicI

INCREASE OF DRAFT HORSES
Larger Number on Farms Shows How
Agricultural and Transportation
Needs Are Growing.

The United States census for 1910
revealed 19,S33,OOO horses and 4,21O.-
coo mules on farms. The Department
Of Agriculture estimate for January
/, 1920, shows 21,1O9,0OO horses and
4,995,O 600 mules on farms. or an in
crease of 1,276,000 horses and 1885,
coo mules in the last decade. Be
sides this we exported, during the nine
years ending June 30, 1919, 1,149,-
1853 horses and 376,836 mules. The rise
in prices for good draft horses and
mules, in spite of the existence Of more
than 21.0OO,OOO horses and almost O.
100000 mules on farms, indicates how
agricultural and transportation needs
are growing.

Care OF.
HARVEST SEASON IN WINTER
Two Types That Require Different
Methods Of Handling-cuttlns As
sists Greatly In Thinning and
Cultivation.

Wheat, corn and potatoes require
planting, care and cultivation. The
crop of wood that grows on the farm
woodlot requires much less care than
these others, and in the majority Of
cases 1t is already growing on the
farm when the farmer takes the land.
Doubtless this fact makes 1t difficult
for the farmer to see this crop in the
same light in which he regards the
others. Any other farm crop must be
cared for or it will fail, and the stand
of wood on the woodlot is no excep-

ton, though the progress of deteriora-
ton is not so rapid and may extend
over a long period Of years.
A properly cared-for woodlot will
furnish the farmer a cash crop at reg
ular intervals and will always afford
supply of timber and fuel for home
use. The harvest season for the wood
lot comes in the fall and in the winter,
and the gathering of the harvest as
sists also in the thinning and cultiva-
tion Of the crop.
Require Different Methods.
In general, there are two types Of
wOodlOts, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and each Of
them requires a different method Of
handling. The first type is character
lied by the presence Of old trees
which dominate the stand. The sec
ond type is made up of a nearly even
aged stand of second growth.
In the first type the old trees may
almost exclude the younger growth,
or they may exist as a few scattered
individuals throughout the stand.
Such material is very likely to be
losing value. The way to check the
loss is to cut the old trees whins have
attained a mature growth and make
room for a new stand of seedlings. A
mature tree should be cut for the
same reason that one cuts a crop of
wheat when 1t is thoroughly ripened.
No dead or diseased timber should be
allowed TO stand.
A woOdlot composed entirely of ma
ture trees should not be cleared at one
cutting. The work should be carried
on in stages with sufficient interval
between the cuttings to allow a new
crop to come up. If this method Is fol-
lowed carefully. the farmer will al
ways have a crop Of wood ready for
harvest on his woodlot. When the ma

Thinning the Stand.
In the second type OF woodlot.
where the farmer has an even-aged
stand Of second-growth timber, he may
begin to harvest his crop by select
ing first the undesirable species.
Often in such stands, such trees as

out, or damage the more valuaure spe.
cies like white ash or tulip poplar.
Sprouts sometimes arise too thlckly
from the stump of trees recently cut
or the reproduction of a good species
is too dense. In any of these cases
some of the trees should he renovad
This process is nothing more than
the wedding out of the poorer individ-
uals where they interfere with the
better ones. In somewhat the same
manner, a thinning cutting is used
when, in from Is to 20 years, the
young stands reach a dense condition.
The principle is exactly the same as
that applied by the truck gardener
who thins out mis- plants to secure the
best Development Of a portion, rather
than poor development of the whole.

Canvass of Southern Bankers Points to a Decrease of Over Thirty-tWo Per Cent In
 Acreage
By Associated Press

New York. April 25A more hopeful view as to prospects for an early ad- justment of the British labor troubles to advances in the cotton market during today's early trading The uncertainty or developments along these lines still exercised a restricting influence, how ever, while the market seemed to meet n- erased southern offerings around f2.76c for July and the price later broke to 12.59c for that position with the general market closing barely steady net % points higher to points lower, the more active months showing net losses of , to points.
 The market opened at decline of point to an advance of 1 point, but soon did better on the reports of better feeling in Wall street the firmness of foreign exchange, and more favorab ble advices from the goods trade which in- cluded reports of a more active demand for cotton yarns.
 Unsettled weather conditions in the south and reports that canvass of southern bankers by a prominent Jap anese firm pointed to a decrease of 32 per cent in acreage, contributed to the forenoon advance which carried prices about 10 to 13 points higher on the active positions. May sold at 12.16c and October to 13.S7c. but there was further May li- quidation which led to re-seling in later months by the buyers of May contracts and the market was weaker late in the day under southern, New Orleans and lo- cal selling. Approximations that shipping might be tied up by a strike of marine engineers. probably contributed to the late decline. but the feature most empha- cized around the ring was the increased southern hedge selling. May sold off to 11.97c and october to l3.23c and closing prices were the lowest of the day on most positions. There has been so much switching from May to later months, the local spot people do not expect many May notices tomorrow. Reports that southern shippers have been booking considerable room for cotton from Gal vestion and New Orleans to the conti nent, helped the early advance.

Chicago, April 25.--Notable weakness developed in the wheat market today owing largely to reports of heavier of ferings in the southwest.

 lt was said that tenders of holdings had been free and that Kansas in par- ticular gave indications of an increased movement this week. The trade prac- tically ignored a forecast of freezing temperature tonight in Kansas and Nebraska, and held to an opinion that the cold weather would fail to injure crops.

New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, April 25.-During a good part of the session in cotton today the market was steady and inclined to do tinued favorable weather conditions over belt and the opinion that English news points to an early ending of the coal strike. In the late trading, however, the market weakened under predictions of large May 1 tenders, which is first notice day for that month and the close was at the lowest, at net losses of to 1S points with May at 11-57.
 On the first call scattered selling caused recessions of one to three points after which the market steadied, main ly on the unsettled weather prevailing over the belt and fear the cold wave still in the west would work toward the cotton region Highest prices were reached following messages from Liver pool, speaking in a hopeful way of coal strike negotiations.

There is some doubt over very large tenders because the prem iums on the distant months more than pay carrying charges which means that it would be more profitable for most owners of tenderable cotton to trans fer their contracts to later months.

 Reasons for the relative backward ness of rails were found in advices over the week end from leading rail way terminals. These in substance re- ported another decrease of tonnage at western points and marked decreases at eastern and southern centers.
 Most other incidents were encourag- ing, notably the stronger domestic bank position and the trend of events abroad. Less tension was observed in the British industrial situation and the question of German reparations seemed to have entered upon a more satisfactory phrase.
 The foreign exchange market strengtheneN perceptibly in connection with the latter development, bills on London rising to highest quotations since last July, the demand rate ap- proximating $3.95. Stockholm and Christiana were the only noteworthy exceptions, even the German mark gaining materially.
 Anomalous conditions prevailed in the money market, all demand loans holding at 611 per cent on the ex- change. although that quotation was again shaded by a full 1 per cent in most outside negotiations.
