Canadian Grain. One of the reasons for the popularity of Canadian beef, cattle, hogs, and poultryin the United Kingdom, United States, and other world markets, where available, is the fact that grain constitutes one of their chief diets. It has been estimated that 24,390,009 bushels of lower grade wheat has been fed to live-stock arid poultry during the current crop year. This compares with 19.408.000 bushels last year, due to reduced crops. . . -u. . -
