the important factor in this case and
credit must also be given to Super

Canada Rightly Proud Of Its
Achievements in 1922.
Has 4rave!y Met and Overcome De.
preston Following the W~ar-Finan-
cial Standing as Nation High.

The year 1922 In Canada, Western
Canada particularly, has been Il year
of quiet achievement. If there has
been nothing in its development OF a
Spectacular nature. there has been a
steady growth, Il resolute elimination
Of things immaterial TO prosperity.
The year 1923 is entered upon hv
tie people Of the West In high hope
that ii ushers in n period Of prosperity
based upon the productivity Of the
country and the vast riches OF its
natural resources.
Canada, in common with all other
nations, has felt keenly the cycle of
depression following the spurious
activity and inflated business coming
Immediately after the cessation of the
war. 1t has met and overcome many
obstacles in the path Of its prosperity.
The year just passed, however, has
seen the silver lining peep out from
the edges of the dark cloud and has
demonstrated to the world the celebrity
which this country can adjust itself to
changed conditions. This is evidenced
by the fact that Canada has been
the first among I'll countries whose
%currencies fell below par TO bring that
currency back TO par, and even for n
time above par. II did this in the face
Of what seemed inSuperable difficult
ties, increased its exports, lesSened its
imports, and generally set its business
house in order.
The high standing of Canada rs n
nation IS shown by the ease with
which her bonds are absorbed and By
the high prices paid for them. and
Winnipeg, it may be mentioned, in a
recent flotation obtained a higher
price than even any provincial govern.
ment for some time.
Western Canada In 1920 harvested
Its largest grain crop. Its production
Of grain, live stock, cereal and DAIRY
products will, wien all is marketed,
produce in the neighborhood Of a bill
lion dollars. There has been, and
there still is felt considerable disap-
pointment tlat the total value is not
larger, but the fact remains that this
vast sum of money has come to the
West. or is in the process Of coming,
and if, as is undoubtedly true, much
of il is used in the liquidation of obli-
cations incurred in the past, it is but a
safer and saner, If longer, road to that
prosperity to which all are looking.
In the process of reaching this pros
perity ii is inevitable that there must
be some failures.
As n matter OF fact, il is tie opinion
Of many prominent business men that
1922 saw the corner definitely turned
and that 1923 will commence the up
ward swing.-Advertisement.

HOW TO REDUCE LOSS
IN SHIPPING SWINE
Many Hogs Arrive at StockyaTd3
Dead or Crippled.
Waste Is Wholly Unnecessary and
Greatly Reduces Amount of Mar
ketabie Pork and Decreases
Profits Of Farmers.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
m recently compiled by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture show that during a period of six
months in 1922 there were received
at nine of the principal ~Stockyards OF
the country a total OF 2S,375 dead hogs
and SOS hogs in a more or less
crippled condition. These figures indi-
cate a waste that IS wholly unneces-
sary and that greatly reduces the
amount OF marketable pork and de
creases the profit of The farmers max
ing the shipments.
The department points out that
nearly all Of this waste may be at
tributed 10 improper handling Of the
hogs just prior 10 shipment. Quite
often hogs about to be shipped are
rushed to a small Enclosure. penned
up in a crowded way, and fed a heavy
ration preparatory 70 being hauled or
driven to the stock car. In getting
them to the loading point, frequently.
he animals are prodded, kicked. and
hurried until worried into q highly
nervous condition.
When ready for market, hogs should
be assembled long enough before the
date OF shipment 10 allow them TO be-
come rested. They should not be
crowded into small pens or houses.
nor fed heavy rations. If they are
driven 10 the loading point, they should
not be rushed on the way; if they
are hauled, too many hogs should not
be crowded into the truck or wagon.
The loading chuteS should not be too
steep, should be made secure and have
the sides protected so the animals will
not fall off. Crowding too many hogs
in a car, particularly in hot weather,
is likely 10 result in a number of
them dying in transit. Loading hogs
after q heavy feed is injurious. 4 lit
tie hunger is far better for them on
the journey than indigestion. There is
nothing 10 be gained in added weight
of the animals by forced feeding just
before shipping. The aim should be to
get as many of the hogs as possible
TO the stockyards in good condition.
