CANADA DID WELL
Honors WorthiIy Won at Interna-
ti0naI Live Stock Show.
Friendly Rivalry at Chicago Splendid
ly Revealed the Possibilities of
Our Northern Neighbor.

Further evidence, if any were needed,
of the friendly relations between Can
ada and the United States might
have been found by a visit to the In
ternational Live Stock Show recently
held at the Chicago Stock Yards.
There the Canadian and American
were to be found side by side in the
friendliest competition, the loser will
ingly admitting defeat when the other
fellow carried off the blue ribbon.
Some of the Choicest and best Of
Canadian stock was there, and much
of it returned loaded down with rib
bonS denoting tirStS championships
that indicate pedigree, breeding and
worth, and cups and trophies that
were won in hard and severe contests.
The hay and grain classes were
points of great interest, and here
Canada did well, securing many
prizes
Twenty-Five first prizes were listed
in the oats class; Canada carried
away % ofSthem. A sample of oats
from the Province of Alberta, weigh
ing 4S pounds to the bushel, was the
heaviest sample In the show. 1t was
Alberta oats that took the sweep
stakes, the exhibitor in this case, J.
w. Lucas, Of Cayley, repeating what
he did last year.
In wheat there were % first prizes
to be awarded; Canada got % Of
them.
The greatest interest was shown
when the horse classes were called.
Here also Canada stood well to the
front. The Percheron entries showed
that Canada breeders were popular
and successful exhibitors. Champion
ships were awarded to a number, and
first prizes were common. The same
may be said of Clydesdales. This
breed stood out prominently, there
were many entries, and this old-time
popular breed had an unusual num-
Der of admirers. This was especially
so in "NVee Donald's'' case. Here was
q Saskatchewan horse, his owner TAX
ing back to Canada the grand cham
pionship. Not only has he done it this
year, but last year as well-two years
In succession-sOmething never before
done at the Live Stock show. In
Clydesdales Canada won places in
every class in which entries were
made.
The same story could be repeated in
sheep and hogs, hOnors being heaped
upon honors on Canadian entries.
Particularly important is the fact that
first prize for alfalfa seed was
awarded for seed grown at Brooks,
Alberta in competition with 43 en-
tries. Alfalfa growing in Western
Canada has been increasing by leaps
and bounds, and this victory will give
it-and the dairy industry, which is
always linked with it-a further i'm
petus.
a visit to the Canadian government
exhibit of grains, grasses, vegetables,
fruits, minerals and other products
of the Dominion to the north, revealed
in tabloid form what the great coun-
try to the north could do. A great
interest was aroused in this exhibit,
and it was greatly admired by visitors
to the Live Stock show. Representa-
tives Of the government were on hand
for the purpose of giving information
to those desiring it.-Advertisement.

SURGICAL WORK TN MID-AIR
French Authorities Equip AirpIanes
With Every Appliance Neces-
sary for Any Operation.

The French authorities have found
airplanes so useful for transport and
other services in their colonial ter
ritories that they intend to introduce
large multi-engined airplanes, which
will be assigned, with pilot and
small staff of mechanics, to surgeons
who have large territories to cover.
The cabins will be equipped as
operating theaters possessing every
life-saving device that modern surgery
can suggest. The surgeon, with his
assistant acting as anesthetist, will
be able to perform major as well as
minor operations just as readily in
remote areas as if he had his patient

Usage orange and black locust are
much alike in structure strength, dur
ability and color, although the former
usually has more of golden brownish
tinge. These two woods can readily be
distinguished by the fact that Usage
orange gives off yellowish color If

CALL FOR MORE CHICKENS
Poultry Supply Seemingly Has Not
Kept Pace With Human Popula-
ton in This Country.

City folks who move to the country
and most of them want to, but won't
admit it-always want to keep chick
ems. 1t seems easy, it promises to be
profitable, and anyhow there Is some-
thing fascinating in the idea, to wom-
en- as to men.
Under the circumstances, then, the
United States chicken census of last
year, report of which is just available,
possesses sentiment as well as busi-
ness interest.
There were 359,537 1856 chickens on
farms in the United States on January
1, 1920, as against 2S0,340957 chick
ems three months old or more April 15,
1910. Inasmuch as many chickens are
slaughtered and marketed each year
between January 1 and April 15, COM
parison is difficult The actual In
crease, if there was any, probably cor
responds with that In egg production
-5.2 per cent. In actuality the
growth of fowl population does not
keep pace with that of human beings.
No wonder eggs and fried chicken
come high.
