FARMER’S GFEAT OPPORTUNITY Demand for Canadian Cattle After the War. The opportunities that Western Can ada offers to the farmer have time and again been placed before the public through these columns. The cheap price at which the very best lands can be purchased, and the advantage that is to be had in securing one of the free homesteads of 160 acres has appealed to a great many, and they have em braced them. Many, in fact most of those who have done so are today giv ing testimony to the good fortune and the timely forethought that led them to go to Western Canada, and embark m an era of farming that has placed them away beyond the pinch of want and given them reason to look into the future with a hopefulness that they had not had the courage in the past to forecast. Mot only have they been able to se cure good lands at low prices and on easy terms but if they desire they have been able to acd to this 160 acres of land free, on conditions that are easy. A resident In the Lloydminster district in Saskatchewan who had been farming in the States for some time, took up a homestead in 1910, and commenced breaking with 4 oxen. Two years ago he bought an adjoin ing quarter section and now has over 100 acres under cultivation. He says. "As my circumstances improved. 1 sold the oxen and now have six head of horses, twelve head of cattle, and have always a bunch 'of hogs on hand. "On an average 1 have had yields of 25 bushels of wheat, 65 bushels of oats, and 40 bushels of barley to the acre, and last season from a field of 2S!4 acres, I threshed 1,040 bushels of wheat. I have made a success of mixed farming and would have no hesi tation in advising all who contemplate making a new home to come to this district. 1 sell cream to the Govern ment Creamery here, and find at all times a good market for live stock and other produce.” This is but a modest statement of what a modest man can do in Western Canada, and could be repeated of hun dreds of others. Scores of cases could be recited where much more has been accom plished, and it is believed that with moderate investment at the present time, the cattle industry of Western Canada will pay large interest. The Minister of Agriculture of Sas katchewan, in a recent address, ven tured the prediction that the Sas katchewan farmer who developed his land along the lines of genera! stock V a? ’ fin? ? make much more mon effort® ? fa ar biEger return for Mb maTu-hn , “ >earS' time than «*e demoted his energies purely w ^iniarlly to srain raising. This nfnu ? C0“ing EOlden age °f °PPor •n.tj for the stockman and it was up 0 the Saskatchewan man to get in I on the ground floor and prepare him self for the coming demand. Tae close of the war would undoubt edly see a great demand for live stock in Europe and it was only reasonable to suppose that this demand would have to be filled almost wholly by American stockmen, both in Canada and the United States. Europe was slowly draining its rural districts not only of its beef and dairy animals but was also using the finer breeding ani mals and the end of the war would see a condition of affairs which would render necessary almost the repopula tion of the domestic animal kingdom | in that continent. The opportunity of Western Cana dian stockmen, therefore, lay in being i prepared for this demand when it arose. In view of these facts which must be patent to every student of economic conditions as related to the stock industry, he hoped to see within the next three years the stock raising industry in Saskatchewan given an im mense impetus forward, which would put it in the forefront of the producing provinces of the Dominion.—Advertise ment.

Those who are gifted with the fac ahr for creating styles must also be able to adapt styles to women of va rious ages. They contrive to interpret them in many wavs, so that garments bespeak youthful or older wearers. In the picture two coatB are shown. The checked model leaves no doubt in the ind that it is suited to and made for young woman. The coat of covert 10th is not quite so decided in char ter. These coats are recommended to ieet the general needs of every day ir young women. The checked mod is in black and white, bordered and inded with black satin. The rolling d I small figure, is used to make the hows that tie the fronts and back of the jacket together under the arms. Ties j of the same ribbon are used for the fastening at the front. When the jack et is worn the edges below the «eck are turned back to form revers. The uppers for the slippers are be a better selection than this for a coat which must answer for all sorts of wear. It is good for the street or the car. It is severely plain, with no purely ornamental features, and de pends for distinction upon original and clever lines and nicety of machine stitching.

White cel luloid buttons banded with black in three sizes are used for decoration ar.d for fastening the c6at. The model fits the figure vaguely above the waist line and is generously wide below. The front Eets trimly, with the full ness at the sides and back, held in place by a belt of satin, and the checked material. In the model of covert cloth the sleeves are cut in one with the body of the coat and the garment is hardly more definite in ad- j justment to the figure than a shawl. The collar is very high at the back and is faced with taffeta silk. It has an open throat. There could hardly Nothing more pretentious than a big hath towel and heavy mercerized cot ton yarn are needed to make a prettv combing jacket like that shown in the picture. These practical and familiar things of sturdy quality are wrought in to many articles for personal use ami for furnishings. The bedroom slippers shown with the jacket are crocheted in the picture and promises a busy ca , reer. Designers have already turned theii thoughts to coats for fall and winter, : so that we may expect no further in novations in styles for this summer, crocheted with close-set firm stitches and sewed to the soles with silk j thread. They are finished with bows of ribbon like that on the jacket. In slippers and jackets of this kind there is much comfort, for they are dura ble and practical and dainty as well. Petticoated Lights for Boudoir. Instead of dignified candles on the dresser now. there are two cleverly ar ranged electric lights, each one con cealed beneath the frilly skirts of a little doll-lady togged out in appro priate Watteau style, or Eugenie style, if one prefers.

A long bath towel with blue and black broken stripes on a white ground was chosen for the jacket pictured. It is a very simple matter to convert a towel into a jacket. The towel is fold ed crosswise at the middle of its length, and a slash six inches long cut for the neck. A slit is cut from this neck opening to the bottom of the towel to form the front opening. All the raw edges arc finished with a hem a half-inch wide. The mercerized cotton yarn used for the crocheted edge matches the blue stripe in the towel in color. Wide lingerie ribbon, in blue satin with a I dolls, dressed in ruffled pink silk I ; suirts, and poke bonnets with nodding | roses, stand guard over the electric ; lights that illumine the dresser in a charming boudoir. The glow of the I light through the pink petticoats is I alluring. In a New York Trousseau. Black taffeta was used in a dress In i a New York bride's trouseau. It was sprinkled over at intervals with deli cate pink rosebuds made of chiffon. The skirt was cut pannier fashion and trimmed in front with a little silver lace apron. The bodice was of pink veiled in silver lace and there was a j huge ruff of pink tulle around the ‘ dropped shoulders. Train Is Growing. The train is gradually growing wider and longer. From a mere panel of tulle or 6ilk. attached to the shoulders and having no relation whatever to the frock, it has become incorporated with the skirt, or as a mantielike drapery of voluminous proportions. In many instances the ovdkskirt of a gown is extended at each side to form long points which trail behind like a double train when milady walks. ThesP points are trimmed with tas sels or ornaments of metal or beads. Dark Dresses or Suits.

Different from felines that have been known to stand on the bank and try to grab fish with their claws, this tab by wades boldly amidstream and awaits prey. Yesterday the cat was fishing in the little creek that runs through Han cock near the old Eestern or Gilleece hotel property, emptying into the Po tomao through a culvert under the ca nal at that point. The cat stood mo tionless for several minutes, and then pounced on a fish with both paws. The fish jumped several feet out of the water, its body shimmering in the sun light. It was then readily caught by the cat. which waded to the shore with its dinner in its mouth. This particu lar tabby has obtained quite a repu tation as a fisher.
