Saskatthewan Government Negotiat- ing With Private Concern to Take Over-Bienfait Piant Control of-the lignite plant at Bien- fait, Sask., is now in the hands of the Saskatchewan Government, which is negotiating with one or two firms to take oyer the plant and operate itasa eommercial utility. An announcement to this effect was | made by. Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister in ‘chakge of the Bureau of Labor and Industries. “The plant which: after all, was s only an experimental station, has served its, purpose in demonstrating! the possibil- ity of making briquettes from carbon- ized lignite,” said Mr. Gardiner. “Some chemical. and mechanical. problems were worked out. and what remains now of the original scheme_is to prove | the-commercial feasibility of of the pro- ject. Cee to cna “The Federal Gov ernment has peitn quished its equity in the_plant to the. Saskatchewan Government provided the plant and equipment are used to complete the work as originally plan-. ned when thé three Governments or- ganized the undertaking. The Gov- ernment of Manitoba, while withdraw- ling from. the agreement some time ago has also expressed a willingness to. a al- low its. equity to remain bea “the plant is In operation. “It is not the policy of this Govertt’ ment to. embark on any commercial undertaking and we will not therefore unit’and operate’ it, but will endeavor to. interest private capital’ to under- take the commercial operation’ of the plant under-some form of lease. The | Government may, of course. carry on further research or experimental work in connection with the coal, but-in no sense will it operate a -commercigl plant. Weare at present negoHating with one or two concerns and hope to have the plant operating eommercially some time this year.” — \ Stock.

They travelled 1,785 miles and got in touch with many thousands of Saskatchewan people and interested them in better livestock. - ‘fhe train made ‘a record in attend- ance, surpassing all previews agricul- tural. trains of any description that have ‘operated in Saskatchewan. The attendance amounted to 40,270, -which compares very favorably with an at- tendance of about 19,000 for the Bet- ter Bull Train in 1922,-and an attend- antce of 33,000 for the Better. Farming Train that same year. One of the great advantages of this train, is. that it gets in touch with thousands of peo- ple that would not be, reached by any | © series of ‘meetings or. by any of the usual channels for the preaching of the gospel of better livestock; and the attendance record which . has , been made is very.satisfactory.

The Milking Machine Effects a Saving and Advantageous In Other Ways. Officials of the Experimental Farms |recommend farmers with twelve or more cows to seriously consider the instalation of. a ‘milking machine: Experience. at a mumtber of Expert- mental Farms and Stations goes to prove that these machines are decid- edly advantageous. . For..a 20-cow ‘herd a.3-cow outfit is regarded as suf- ficient. “For smaller herds of 12 to '45 cows; a 2-cow outfit is ‘Jodked upon as’ able to take care of the milking. | Farm officials estimate that the run- ning “expenses: of the larger “machine. divided between 30 cows is equal to about 2 cents per. cow per day. One man with a-milking machine, it has been proved, cay milk from 20 to.251 cows an hour, whereas 7\cows an hour are milked by the average farm hand. Machine milking produces greater uni- formity than is possible when different people are doing the milking. Sev-. ‘eral year’s experience of mechanical milkers on. the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa shows that the cows do not dry off any more quickly than when milked-by band. Old cows ac: customed to hand-milking flo not ac- cept the machine as readily as heif- ers, which show no antipathy towards the machine. Efficiency in operation with a milking machine;.as: with other machines, is essential for good work. a \| The operator should know’ the ma- chine and the cows, and adapt the one to suit-the other, giving each their proper share of atienden at the proper time. - ee _ Too Much “| say, y’know, all these bills are dated: months before we were mar- ried.” “Yes, darling.

Canada could not remain aloof: fiom a conference of this kind eyen should she desire to do 80, because. outdoor recreation, “in the broad terms in which. it was dealt with on this oc- casion, involves . the international guardianship of fish, migratory birds, boundary waters, -pollution of sireams, international_games, and internation- al recreational travel. The Dominion is ulféady in- touch with these sub- jects, at‘a dozen points and the chief work of the conferetice was to em- phasize™ and organize °the activities they involve. The personnel: of the conference in- dicates the-important place the sub- ject occupies in the minds of the lead- ing’men of.the Urited States. It was called and opened by President Cool- jdger-and: the executive chairman was Hon. Theodore - Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Other mem- bers of the United States cabinet who took. part were: Hon, J. W. Weeks, Secretary of War; Hon. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interfor; Hon: H. c. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. Herbert: Hoover, . Secretary of Commerce; and Hon. J. J. Davis, Sec- retary of Labor. Arrangements: were * enpicted by various forms of. outdoor ‘recreation will be fully represented on the per- manent ‘organization by their ack- nowledged leaders. These. details need not be gone into here the point. being this: That people every where now recognize the importance to the whole country « of-properly directed sport and recreation. The crowding of people into great urban centres on the one hand-and the , development of the automobile on the other have changed the outlook of the people of North America in regard to outdoor recreation in one generation. — The great majority of the people no Jonger have; as they had thirty years ago, open spaces near at Hand for re- creation, and the automobile has pro- ¥ided the means by. which they: ‘may escape into the forests, the mountains, and. along the watercourses. The holding of this conference indicates that people have suddenly awakened to the fact of which feaders in both Canada and the United States have ‘been aware for some years that the health and efficiency of the nation ére going to depend in no small degree upon the maintenance of national parks, game preserves, game: sanc- tuaries, forest reserves and other open lareas, and upon the wise administra~ tion of proper laws respecting the. pro- tecting of game animals, game and insectivorous birds, and fish. The view taken a few years ago was that national parks with their. beautiful scenery and their-wild animals living 4n a state of nature ministered only to the sentimental side of fe, but it is now. seen “that the very stamina of the nation is dependent upon these, play- grounds, and” Canada has shown that she does not intend to be behind any part of the cortinent-in developing these se safeguards for her people.
