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

•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

Those who are gifted with the fac

able to adapt styles to women of va
rious ages. They contrive to interpret
them in many wavs, so that garments

for furnishings. The bedroom slippers

r mercerized yarn, and the two make
the sort of gift that one friend likes to
receive from another.
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

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.
Dark dresses or suits can be cleaned
beautifully by this method: Boil a
number of ivy leaves until the water
becomes almost black; when cold lay
the clothes on a table and brush all
over with the liquid, press with a hot
iron.

Prey.
Hancock, Mo., has a cat that fishes.
Different from felines that have been

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.
