RANCHING
Cattle and Horse Ranching In
Western Canada — Steers
Brought 10 Cents a Pound
on the Seattle Market.
That big money la made by tha large
cattle raurher In Weatero Canada, and
•lao by the amall farmer aa well, la
abowa by the undlaputab'e facta pre-
set! ted from time to tluie. A rancher,
near Olelchen. Alberta, who com-
menced In a amall way nine years
ago. recently dlapoaed of 1.24.1 cattle
at a total of SlOl^tM-flO. and thl* wa«
ouly his surplus stock for the present
season.
A December shipment of 217 hend of
ranch ateers brought the owner Bn av-
erage of over $SO |H*r head. They were
taken straight from the runge without
au> grain feeding and were In excellent
condition to be told for the Christ-
mas trade. Another shipment of 100
bead, averaging $70 eut-h, was made
to Seattle. The highest price paid on
the Keattle market whs Tor an Alber-
tan steer, which weighed 1,700 lbs.,
and brought the fancy price of lOc
per lb., or $170.
Six carloads of I've stock from
ranches 05 miles from IMncher. Al-
berta. shipped to S|M>kane, excite*!
keen com|>etltli»n there on account of
their exceptional quality. The price
realised wua $10,028. American deal-
ers aay they must look to Canada for
beef supplies.
A livestock firm, which has shipped
over 2,000 head of beef cattle to the
American farmer since the middle of
November, reports a spletulld recep- I
tion of Alberta stock In the United
States.
A carload of choice Alberta steers
were sold early In January for ship
inent to the British Columbia coast
at $0.70 2*er 100 lbs. and. later on. a lot
from Carstklrs brought $0.90—the
highest price paid since the spring of
1916. Shipments from Calgary live-
stock yards during 1915 were: Horse*.
8.075; cattle, 30,577; hogs, 144.515;
•heep, 12,410. A course In agriculture
and livestock demonstration which
has been conducted by the Provincial
Dept, of Agriculture here was well at-
tended, allowing the Interest taken by
city residents In agricultural progress.
John Yeung, of Sidney, Man., gives
bis experiences In sheep-ralslng as fol-
lows, as quoted In a local paper:
"I bought a bunch of fifty ewes,
which coet me $202.50. With tills
Uttle flock I demonstrated Just what
can be done In the sheep bust ness.
This fall 1 sold fifty fat lambs at $0.50
per bead, $325. and 18 of the best ewe
lambs, which I kept, I value at $3.00
per head, $144. The wool sold at an av-
erage of $2.07 per her.d, $103.50. This
makes the very nice total of $572.50.” |
"They ran out nearly every day all
winter. The value of hay and oats
was small, and one can make them
very comfortable through Cue winter
with very little expense. For shelter
I have a shed, nbout 125 feet long and
14 feet wide, which 1 cover with straw.
This gives them protection from the
cold winds; yet It Is always cool
enough to be healthy.”
"I Intend going In more for sheep
this fall, as I believe them to be the
most profitable stock on the farm.” 1
Desire of farmers nnd ranchers to
Increase their sheep holdings Is Indi-
cated by the sale of 2,500 head re-
cently at $9.00 each. High wool
pricca and profitable demand for mut-
ton are the reason given for such a
figure.
Manitoba sheep breeders arranged
last year for the Provincial Depart-
ment of Agriculture to handle their
wool output on a co-operative basis
and obtained most satisfactory results. ,
About 75,000 lbs. of wool were han- :
died, netting the shippers over 25c
per lb.—Advertisement.

the croup of cow punchers lost or won
huge fortunes on the turn of a pack of
greasy cards, a newcomer burst excit-

"Heard about Dickson getting shotT”
he gasped to his astonished audience.
The cow punchers gathered round ,
Vm to hear the news.
* "No!” they cried. “When?”
t "’Bout half an hour ago," came the
reply. “I was there nnd saw it all.”
“Where did he get shot 7” was the
next question flung at him, while hands

Counties Asked To Retire Bonds.
A plan has been worked out by the
commissioners of the land office for co-
operation from counties where state
money has been Invested In bonds In
the general plan of the school land de-
partment for placing cheap money In
the hands of the farmers.
Approximately $500,000 is now in-
vested In county bonds and circular
letters are being sent out by Secre-
tary George A. Smith to the officials
of these counties, asking that if pos-
sible the bonds be paid before matur-
ity so that the money can immedately
become available for use by the farm-
ers. Most of the counties, it is be-
lieved, have enough money in their
sinking funds to retire their bonds,
thus aiding the farmers and at tliy
•ame time stop Interest payments.
Applications for loans from the per-
manent school fund now exceed the
amount of cash on hand and it Is for
that reason that tho co-operation of.
teh counties has been requested.

court when the decision of the district
court of Oklahoma county giving Ross
Ltllard Judgment against S. P. Render
for $1,325 as an attorney's fee wasj
affirmed.
Llllard represented Mrs. Bond and
he alleged payment of his fee was
guaranteed through a verbal contract
with Render. When the case was fin-
ished Render refused to pay.
On appeal to the supreme court at-
torneys for Render for the first time
set out the allegation that if the con-
tention of Llllard was correct the
agreement came within the statute of
frauds and the contract was of no
effect.
Because the question was not raised
in the trial court the supreme court
ref wed to pass upon it.

the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstra-

agriculture that a full cotton crop is

the plant is showing a splendid

Milwaukee’s Trees.
One of the charms of Milwaukee, a
charm not so distinctive as it should
be, is the shade trees along the
streets.
Greater care should be taken of
these trees. They should be protect-
ed against vandals nnd against de-
structive insects. They should re-
ceive other care that many of them
do not get. Instead of being permit-
ted to grow in a helter-skelter way
for instance, they should be pruned.
The elm tree, naturally a thing of rare
beauty, is not pleasing to the eye
when ragged branches reach almost
to the ground.
The trees that adorn our streets are
n boon to the community. They give
the city a touch o< nature that noth-
ing else can give. The community
which benefits so greatly from their
presence should take care of them.
Nobody can do this except experts,
men who know the different kinds of
trees and their habits. Milwaukee
has been suffering for yenrs, and Is
suffering more than ever today, from
lack of scientific management of
shade trees.
Milwaukee needs a city forester.—
