They travelled overland in speciafiy constructed galvanized iron crates netted with wire and with an enclosed trough in each from which fresh water was available. On board the Beaverford, large cages were built as shown above in which the ratsihad more spaceto‘move around. This shipmeht which was made i-eQntiy, consti- tutes a record for mavement of muskrats or any other fur-bearing animal out of Canada overseas. _ .. The biggest shipment of live muskrats ever to be shipped from Canada, :1 thousand in number, were carried by Canadian Pacific Ex- press Company from Oak Lake, Manitoba to Hamburg. Germany, re- cently. They were trapped in the breeding grounds on the Manitoba rat farm and shipped in boxes, each box holding twelve pairs. They were shipped on C. P. Freighter Beaverford from Montreal and the muskrats were in good condition with a minimum of casualties when they reached destination.

On the authority of an official report recently issued it appears that the bicycle is gaining in po- pularity in Canada.

Within the next few weeks the largest reaforestation venture so far made by the Ontario Governâ€" menf will be under way in the planting of 1,200,000 trees in the Thessalon district near the 800.

Fourteen cases of orchids were carried from England to Japan reâ€" cently under the auspices of the Canadian Pacific Express Company to the order of the Emperor of Japan, the Empress and members of the Imperial Court. The)? are sent out from England about three times a. year and are highly prized by the Japanese Royal Family and Court. A new wheat, known as R-49. may be the long awaited rust- resistant wheat. Canadian Govern- ment plant breeders have long been experimenting in an effort to de- velop a variety of wheat that will resist rust and at the same time be of high grade milling quality. Em- mer, which is a rough, large, rather poor-yielding grain of the wheat family. which has seemed to be rust-resistant~ has been crossed with Marquis wheat and the pro- geny again crossed with Marquis, resulting in a grain which is three- quarters Marquis stock. The plant breeders have carried on their ex- periments at the Manitoba Agricul- tural College and from as many as SSstrains developed. Râ€"49 seems so tar to be the most promising. ere and There Mrs. BeacockY of Torontofis visiting her daughter, Mrs. A. W. Stephenson. Mr. A. W. Galbraith spent Sunday at Shanty Bay.
