The question of a. big abattoir is being investigated thoroughly. Hon. John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture,- is in Chicago now. .He went to attend a. big cattle sale. but he has another mission. That mission is/to visit some .of the Chicago abattoirs. which are meted the world over. Hon. Mr. Ross has decided views on the subject. and can see a big thing for the province in the scheme now on foot. He will be pleased with no- thing less than a firm that would kill in the neighborhood of 100,000 animals a year. In connection with the abattoir there would be cold storage cars. With the meat properly chilled it would be transferred to cold storage compartments in the ocean liners and carried to Britain, and be in the very best condition on arriv- l'ng there. Mr. F. \V. Hudson will take atrip to Chicago, Mil\vuukee,‘5t. Louis. in fact go all through the west and look into the methods of chilling mat for export and the way the big abattolrs do their business.

The Provincial Government is anxious to see one started and will lend aid to such an establishmnt. The scheme is shaping nicely, and something definite my he look- ed focr at the approaching session of Legislature. which is, in all proba- bility, about six weeks distant. IMPROVING COLD STORAGE. Just now the Gowernment is con- sidering how these cold storage sta- tions can be further improved and their usefulness extended. The sys- bem of cold storage used in‘ Ontario is being copied by the Dominion. When sending experimental ship- ments of fruit to ‘Manerhlester this fall the Government; went to the expense of fitting one of thJe boats up in ac- cordance with their system It wasa success, and the Dominion Govern- ment immediately adopted it, using it in all the boats in which they shipped Canadian produce to the old country. Trouble was experienced in the past inkeeping the fruit after it was tak- en out of cold storage. The trouble was that the fruit would sweat and soon mildew when exposed to the air. Under the system. adopted 4by the On- tario Agriculture Department the produce is given plenty of air, and as a consequence it keeps much longer and is in perfwt condition when brought to the light ready for the market. Hon. George W. Ross has had the question in his mind far along time, He firmly believes that with :1 big abattoir inthis province 'there would spring up a large trade in beef and poultry between Ontario and the motherland. Great success has at- tended the shipping of poultry! to the old country. and the Premier wants to see this grow and include beef and mutton. Great strides have been made in cold storage. At the last session of the Legislature concessions were made to those people who were build- ing cold storage stations. The Gov- ernment proposes to assist the estab- lishment Of these stations. believing that they will be a great benefit to the farmers. Further legislation may be passed.
