Although there are no extensive areas of ranch land such as those in the Canadian West, the soil, climate and markets of Quebec justify more extensive live-stock farming in the province than is now practised. Many of the farms in Quebec having luxuriant pastures and plentiful water supply are capable of producing greater live stock returns than at present. A comparative view of the numbers and value of live stock in the province may be seen from the following figures — NUMBERS OF LIVE Stock IN QUEBEC 1925-1927 El O88. ev vvnvvnntvn hbase En Milch COWS. ove ieee ences Other cattle. ......ov verve.

Assistance is given mainly through farmer's co-operative organizations in the purchase and distribution of pure bred sites, including horses, cattle; sheep and swine. Inspection, marketing and transportation are also receiving their full share of assistance, thereby bringing live-stock products in improved condition to the consumer. 88105—4}
