THE TERRACE NEWS, MAY 1, 1929 THE SHEEP INDUSTRY PROSPER- ous: | i The sheep industry for 1928 was € very good both for meat and. wool. am Reviewing the year, Live Stock mark- Meee ct and Meat Trade Review issued by the Department of Agriculture at Otta- fsa, shows that the wool clip averaged from fire to twenty-five per cent above }, the ‘values recleved the previous year m while sheep and lamb sales were fully = w $1 per hundredweight above the 1927 Inerket. Confidence in: the future of the industry is expressed in that the industry showed an appreciatable ex- pansion, gains being especially good in’ Ontario and the four western provin- ces, The total sales at stock yeards during the yenr reached 469,172 head, being approximately 5,000 head more than the sales of the previous year, The season was characterized by the heaviest movement in any in the past five yenrs, with values wel? above 1927. A feaure of the year’s business, according to this Review, was the strong demand for feeding lambs and good breeding ewes, Supplies moved back to the farms from Toronto PF were equal to the previous year when the trade was quite heavy, while .in Western Canada orders were constant- Iy left unfilled through Jack of supp- “Were conducted. lies, The experience of the past year has put the sheep industry on a satis- factory basis with every indication of a furthur expansion. -_ ‘VARIETY TESTS WITH MANGELS For some years, experiments . bare heen conducted at the Experimental Farm, Agassiz, B.

HERRING Ladies Decorations are Important By- » Product of Fishing Industry , Ottawa,April 30—Pearls from Can- adian herring? Nonsense? uot nonsense nt all, there is many strings of artific- ial pearls worn for adornment in North America that came from the senles of herring cnught in Canadian waters, The presence of crystals of guanin on the scales of herring is the explan- ation, for from these erystals there is manufactured pearl essence which, in turn, is manufactured into imitation pearls, Reports of the Fisheries Branch at Ottawa show the manufacture of pearl essence from the seales of the humble herring as one of the interesting by- prodnet operations of canada’s fishing Jndustry, and one which is likely to be- come an increasing value. So far the production of the essence is curried on only in Southern New Lrunswick, but herting scales for use in its manufact- ure are giso gathered to some extend | ap the Tirttish Columbin coast, 97.' for example, 1,000 hunderdwelght | of scales were marketed -by British Columbin fishermen. In the same year 1820 hundredwelght were mark- eted in New Brunswick for manufact- ure jute penrl essence. The return to the fishermen in the two provinces sum, it is true. but is a fairly tidy a- mount to recteve for something which fo few years ago wis o waste and a niuisnnee, _ ; Tn produeing the penrl essence, the herring nre scaled and the senles nre then put through a special process by which the guanin crystals are freed. The crystals are held in suspension in ammonia and the pearl essence reguits.
