COAL IN GENEROUS ABUNDANCE
Western Canada Has $4,000 Square Mes--Gold Galena
Oil and Other Minerals Are Fonnd

Between the Red river and the Rocky
mountains there are IS 900 square miles
or coal bearing strata. The annual Goa!
production Of the Northwest Territories
is nearing 400.OOO tons.
The coal mines already discovered are
or sufficient capacity to supply the whole
OF Canada with fuel for centuries. Lig-
mites are now mined at Estevan, in east
ern Assiniboia; Medicine Hat and Cypress
Hills, in western Assniboia; Red Deer,
Otoskewan, Edmonton, Sturgeon River
and Victoria, in northern Alberta; and
are obtained at the pits mouth at from IS
cents to $3.50 per ton, according to the
demand.the greater the sale the lower
the price. -bituminOus coal is mined

inYested Pot Hole, Milk River Ridge,
Crowfoot and Knee Hill

tanned at from $3.50 to So per ton. The
true bituminons- is mined at Waterton
River, Pincher Creek, on each of the
south, middle and north branches of the
Old Mans river, on High river, Sheep
creek Fish creek, Bow river and Can
more, also in Southern Alberta, and is
worth about the same as the semi bitumi-

Anthracite (four miles from. Banff) and
is sold aboard cars at from 50 to IS per
Ton, according to grade. There are extern

and Anthracite. The government issues
permits to mine on dominion lands at the
following royalties: 10 cents per ton for

1t has been pretty well demonstrated in
past years that individual butter making

sity of stabling or shedding the stock
during the winter, which again involves
regular feeding and Watering, and the
farmer, therefore, is compelled 70 reduce
his herd within the limits of the stable
or shed accommodation and the quantity
of winter feed available. This necessi-
tates smaller numbers and enables the
farmer to control the breeding intelli-
gently and to devote personal attention
to each individual head of stock. The
result has been uniform high standard
OF excellence in the quality OF calves and
the minimum Of casualties both among
the calves and dams. While the farming
section is principally suited for cattle
breeding in connection with mixed farm
ing, stockmen in the ranching section
proper are gradually bending their whole
efforts mere towards the business of ma
turing cattle. very large number Of
young stocker cattle are annually sold
and shipped from the farm to the ranch,
which is proving a very profitable bust
ness for both.
BIoodeis Stock.
The days of the long horned, wild eyed
range steer are rapidly drawing to a
close and the professional Cow puncher"
is changing his methods and gradually
conforming to the new order of things.
In the carly history of cattle ranching,
the stock was branded placed on the
range, and severely left alone between
the annual round-ups, when the beef was
gathered and the young calves branded
and turned out to take their chances until
maturity, as their parents had done be-
fore them If bad seasons came alCng
the weak animals died and the fttest
survived, according to the inexorable laws
of nature. AS years passed by. 1T became
evident that some measure of constant
care and attention could proitably be be-
slowed upon the stock and ranchers COM
menced to wean the calves in the fall and
provide feed and shelter for them during.
the irst.winter. The breeding cows We're
also herded during the summer and mated
with pure bred bulls in sufficient numbers,
which were removed and kept UP at the
end of the breeding season. This ensured
a large increase and avoided the dropping
OF late or too early calves. Close SUPER
vision was exercised over the stock dur
ing the winter and weak COWS promptly
gathered and fed. The periodical round
ups were also organized in a more sys-
tematic manner, and the result is that to-
day, the losses on the range have been re-
duced to a mere minimum, while the
quality Of the stock has been considerably
improved and the working expenses,
though Larger than, the old system, or
lack of system, are more than counter
balanced by the increased profits due to
the more humane and rational methods
now in vogue on the cattle ranches of the
Canadian west. To convey an idea Of the
classsof cattle@now producedsin the Ter,
r:itories, it may be mentioned, Z: that a
train-load efa4 year -old steers from the
.Ccchrane ranch, after being driven lao
miles and shipped by rail 1900 miles to
Montreal weighed at the end of the trip
on the average 1885 pounds.

tories recognized that fact and conveyed
their ideas to the Dominion government,
which promptly placed experts at their
disposal and eventually organized chain
OF cooperative creameres all through
the territories. These institutions, while
subject to the control of the patrons,
through boards of directors, are under alb
solute government management. Most Of
the patrons separate their milk at home
by means of hand separators and bring
the cream to the dairy station once or
twice week in large cans. The cream
is then carefully tested and weighed and
at the end of every month each patron
gets credit for its equivalent in butter and
receives a cash advance of 10 cents per
pound When the total output of butter
for the season is disposed of by the gov
eminent a check for the balance due
each patron is sent him from the depart
ment of agriculture Any settler having
the means to procure a few mich cows
can thus ensure a monthly cash income
sufficient to pay all his ordinary running
expenses.
