menced In u small way nine years
ngo, recently disponed of 1,1M.'J cattle
nt a total of $101, HOI. HO, and this was
only his Mirplns stock for the present
season.
A December shipment of 217 head ot
ranch steers brought the owner an nv
crime of over ?S0 per head. They werft
taken straight from the range without
nuy grain feedlnc and were In excellent
condition to bo sold for the Christ
mas trade. Another shipment of 100
head, averaging $70 each, was made
to Seattle. The highest price pnld on
the Seattle market was for nn Alber
tnn steer, which weighed 1,700 lbs.,
nml brought tho fancy price of 10c
per lb., or $170.
Six carloads of live stock from
ranches Wi miles from IMnchcr, Al
berta, shipped to Spokane, excited
keen competition there on nccount of
their exceptional quality. The prlco
realized was $10,028. Americnn deal
ers say they must look to Cunndn for
beef supplies.
A livestock firm, which has shipped
over L',000 head of beef cattle to tho
American farmer since the middle of
November, reports a splendid recep
tion of Alberta stock in the United
States.
A carload of choice Alberta steers
were sold early In January for ship
ment to the Itrltlsh Columbia coast
at $0.70 per 100 lbs. and. later on. a lot
from Curst airs brought $0.!)0 tho
highest prlco paid since the spring of
1H1!5. Shipments from Calgary live
stock yards during l!)l."i were : Horses,
8.070; cattle, ;t0,r77; hogs, 1-1 1,515;
sheep. lL',-110. A course In agriculture
and livestock demonstration which
has been conducted by tho I'rovinclnl
Dept. of Agriculture here was well at
tended, showing tho Interest taken by
city residents in agricultural progress.
John Young, of Sidney, Mnn., gives
Ills experiences In sheep-raising as fol
lows, as quoted In u local paper:
"I bought a bunch of fifty owes,
which cost mc S'Jii'J.oO. With this
little flock I demonstrated Just whnt
enn be done In the sheep business.
This fall I sold fifty fat lnmbs nt $0.50
per head, $1125, nnd 18 of the best ewo
lambs, which I kept, I value nt $8.00
per head, $144. The wool sold nt nn av
erage of $2.07 per head, $103.50. This
mnke8 the very nice totnl of $572.50."
"They rnn out nearly every day all
winter. The value of liny nnd onts
was small, and ono can mnke them
very comfortable through the winter
with very little expense. For shelter
I have n shed, about 125 feet long nnd
14 feet wide, which I cover with straw.
This gives them protection from the
cold winds: yet it Is always cool
enough to be healthy."
"1 Intend going In more for sheep
this fall, as I believe them to be the
most profltnblo stock on the farm."
Desire of farmers nnd ranchers to
Increase their sheep holdings is Indi
cated by the sale of 2,500 head re
cently nt $0.00 each. High wool
prices nnd profitable demand for mut
ton nre tho renson given for such a
figure.
Mnnltobn sheep breeders arranged
Inst yenr for the I'rovinclnl Depart
ment of Agriculture to handle their
wool output on a co-operativo bnsls
and obtained most satisfactory results.
About 75,000 lbs. of wool wero han
dled, netting the shippers over 25c

Secret Ambitions of Parents for!
Their Children.
HOPE AIDS IN DEVELOPMENT
It Is Well to Realize That Backward
ness or Precocity Doea Not De
termine a Child's Pos
sibilities. By SIDONIE M. GRUENBERQ.
ALU'lv, almot three ear old.
was very busy scribbling forest
and cloud effects on the back of
a circular letter; and she was
quite oblivious to the presence and con
versation of her mother and a Isltor.
"Can she write yet'" asked the visi
tor. "Oh, no," beamed the mother,
"wo do not wish to hurry her. Hut
she does love to play with pencil.') and
paper, and I think she N going to be
an author." The visitor smiled Indul
gently. Hut this Is what she thought:
"She Is Just as likely to become a
cheap clerk or a fourth-rate stenog
rapher." Which is quite true; only
there is no use discouraging parents
too early In the game.
Parents naturally harbor secret am
bitions as to the future of the children ;
wo know that, because they sometimes
let the secret out. And It Is quite nat
ural that they should, because they
transfer to their children the hopes of
their own childhood, the hopes that
never cystalllwd Into reality. We can
therefore understand why the sciib
bllngs of Alice should suggest Hue
writing to the mother, or why Tommy's
tinkering with the decrepit ulariii clock
should remind the father of that other
Thomas, the great Inventor.
Not only Is It easy to understand
why parents do such things which
must appear rather stupid or conceit
ed to tho parents of other children
but it Is very desirable that they
should continue to do more and more
of the same. For entertaining hopes
ubout children Is about the surest
way of guiding our plans and bring
ing unity into our treatment of the de
veloping personality. The hopes can
certainly do no harm unless they
blind us. Hut there Is the real danger.
For If we have nothing to go by ex
cept our hopes, we nre Just as likely
to be moved or paralyzed by our fears.
It Is natural for parents to translate
the random activities of their children
Patrick Henry Alternated Hunting
With Extreme Laziness.
Into possibilities for achievement. Hut
it Is Just as natural to translate tho
annoying or unconventional activities
nito gnawing fear.
Charles Darwin tells us In his auto
biography of being rebuked by the
schoolmaster for wasting his time on
such subjects as chemistry. Wo should
explain this by saying that the school
master had no appreciation of a sub
ject of which lie was totally Ignorant.
Hut ho tells us further that he was
greatly mortified when his father once
said to him: "You care for nothing
but shooting dogs and nit catching, and
you will bo n disgrace to yourself and
all your family." Now Darwin's fath
er was not tin ignorant man, and ho
wns not unsympathetic; but his Imagi
nation was not equal to interpreting
the child's Interests and activities In
terms other than those of loafing,
shooting and rat catching.
Hut if tho experience of Darwin
should lend anyone to predict u great
scientific career for tho son of similar
proclivities, he must bo warned. The
youth of Patrick Henry was charac
terized by alternating spasms of run
ning wild and hunting In tho woods
and spoils of extreme laziness. "No
persuasion could bring him either to
rend or to work," his biographer
writes, "and every omen foretold n
life at best of mediocrity, If not of In
significance." Which only supports tho
old suspicion that you must not put
too much trust in omens.
Again and again wo (1ml cases of
children who filled their parents with
despair and their teachers with dis
gust, only to emerge later Into men
nnd women of distinction and high so
cial value. The timid youth, backward
In school and slow to give any sign
of lnteriinl llres, develops Into a leader
In thought or in action. This should
not make us translnto timidity and
backwardness Into signs of leadership.
Henry Ward Hoocher was so bashful
and reticent as a boy that ho gave the
Impression, according to his sister, of
"stolid stupidity." In nddltlon to this
ho was n poor writer and speller, and
had a "thick utterance." No ono would
have guessed that this ten-year-old boy
was to Become a brilliant orator, es-

S. Craiit would hae remained an ob
scure, uninteresting and "unsuccessful"
drifter. On the other hand, many a
precocious child seems to stop short In
Its development long before there I
the maturity or the opportunity to
begin to accomplish things of Impor
tance. We are not n suppose that
every brilliant child will necessarily
become a mediocre adult, nor that ev
ery backward child Is to develop Into
a genius.
The fact Is that the "abilities" of n
child nre In u state of constant change.
At no time may we say of the child

tatlons. The "Inattentive" Isaac New
ton, the "dullard" Hubert Fulton, the
"Indolent" James Hussell Lowell, the
"weakmiuded" David Hume and hun
dreds of others make us challenge our
methods of estimating the powers and
characters of children. These, morn
than the disappointments we feel in
the failure of children to develop Into
a realization of our great expectations,
make us question our standards and
systems and signs.
In view of the common failure to
anticipate the ultimate achievements
of children, it would seem much wiser
to draw all tho possible eneotiragument
and stimulus from the positive mani
festations, to watch constantly for the
liest, than to fear nnd despair tor the
weaknesses.
India's Jewels.
Though India exports $5,500,000
worth of Jewels annually, she Is still
supreme In the world as the Jewel
storehouse for all nations. Diamonds,
rubles, sapphires, tourmaline, gar
net and ninny kinds of rare chalce
dony are mined throughout her many
provinces. Hubles are principally
mined In Upper Hurmii.
One ruby of 75 carats, taken out a
few years ago, was valued at $100,000,
sapphires are mined In Kashmir, but
the mines, after having been worked
for over 5KM) years, are now said to be
giving out, though the yellow, white,
blue, nnd green varieties are exten
sively found in the ruby-bearing grav
els la Hiinun. Cnruets form a valu
able trade In Krlshnagar, while large
quantities of turquoise come from Slk
klin and Tibet, those from the latter
country being harder and of darker
and more liquid luster, and having
greater value.
Women Can't Take a Joke.
Tommy was listening to his "high

"Though I am In sympathy with tho
feminist movement," his sister was
telling the callers, "yet, like father,
at heart I am a Democrat and"
"Oh-h-h, sis," Tommy Interrupted,
"how changeable you ure. You told
us yesterday that you are an aristo
crat. How fickle I"
What could the poor girl do? Noth

tho callers had gone, which elicited
tho remonMrnneo:
