Joking With Sea-GulIs.

Sea birds are always interesting OBJ
jccts to voyagers. says writer in
Ocean. They follow vessel some
times all the way across, ever restless
and untiring. The gulls particularly,
with their long, swift wings, realize the
highest powers of endurance, and fly
with ease against the severest storms.
Some say that these birds never visit
the earth except TO deposit their eggs;
otherwise they live constantly between
the sea and the sky. In fine weather
they fly high in the air, descending
with great rapidity to seize the fishes
on the water. The symmetry and
strength of the gulls are remarkable,
showing how nature has adapted them
in every particular for the purpose of
long flight. Their pectoral or breast
muscles are one solid mass of firm,
hard muscle, and their bones are
hollow. having no marrow in them.
Sleep is not necessary to them; or,
rather, they rest upon their wings and
allow themselves to be Graded by the
breezes, whose violence neither worries
nor frighteus them. On the other
hand, they seem to feel fierce delight
in the fury of Che storm. which, con-
vulsing the waves, brings up the dead
fishes and molusks.
Sailors are very fond of playing off a
joke upon the gulls, which are always
lowering about the ships. They take
three or four pieces of sail Irvine about
six feet in length. These are tied to-
gether in the middle, aud 90 the end of
each a small piece of blubber or fat is
attached tightly and then thrown into
the sea. A gull comes along and
swallows one piece. Another then
sees there is plenty to spare and swal.
lows the next. Perhaps third bird
takes possession of another, but, as
they are all attached TO the sail yarns,
whenever they try to fly away one OF
the other is compelled to disgorge his
share, and this is continued to the tan.

sources than any of her sisters, and no

During last summer we MIXED 80 cows and
next year we hope to increase that number

our cheese and butter, in fact the supply is
almost short of the demand. We get IL

in town, prices ranging from % cents to
40 cents according to the season of the year.
Beside the dairy farm we have 300 horses
out in the range The cost Of raising horses
here is decidedly low: there is a vast supply
of nutritious grasses, and by providing
corrals, and winter sheds, and a small quanti-
,ty of hay one need not fear any losses during
the most severe winter. Horses have thriv-
en- well on the ranges round here without any
food or shelter other than they could provide
for themselves, but we find it well to provide
in some degree for young stock and brood
mares. As to the market there are various
ways Of disposing of cur stock. Horses are
are daily required by moving settlers and by
the North West Mounted Police, and already
agents attend Calgary at regular intervals to
secure horses for shipment down east. Any
one who possesses a good animal may readily

AN ALBERTA Rancho.

of its pasturage lands While it was known
TO possess these advantages, it is practically
only within the last year or two that the at
tention Of farmers, bent on establishing homes
for themselves in the FAR west, has been di-
rected to this section of Canada. Since the
year 1881, the country has been to great
extent monopolized by the cattle men. Graz
ing leases covering large areas were secur-
ed from the Dominion Government, and
herds of cattle were driven from the worn
out grass-lands of the United States to fatten
OH the juicy bunch grasses that are character
istic of the Western Plains.
OF late years il has been felt that while
the country was eminently fitted for fatten-
ing stock and raising horses, the qualities 1T
possessed for the successful carrying on OF
dairy farming were overlooked. With the
nutritious sweet grasses everywhere to
be met with, climate that gives no
anxiety TO the farmer as to the care
he should take of his stock, an abun-
dance of cold, pure and ever-running
water, fed by the mountain lake or glaci-
er, high market in the mining country to
the west, and extending down to the sea-
port of the Pacific coast, the views held by
some of the influential farmers of Alberta,
that this Province was in a position to manu-
facture the products Of the dairy of high
grade and at minimum price, were well
founded. On recent visit TO Calgary,
which is the chief market town for the dis
trict we have now under review, the writer
made a visit to some of these farmers who
have turned their attentions to mixed farm
ing, and gives this account of what he saw,
in hopes that it may be Of interest to read
