 of dairying. There is unlimited pas turage of the very best during the pas turing season. the whole year round in the ranehing country. and at least from seven to eight months where the sea son is the shortest leaving the feeding season but short in any case; and for this an abundance of the best hay can be saved from the native prairie grasses during the summer season. rendering dairy cattle keep an inex- pensiye item at the most. Again thers are favorable dairying regulations of which the people are justly proud. h. dividual butter and cheese making was tested at an early day and resulted. as it does everywhere, in but partial success. The construction of suitable houses for the care of milk and prod uets, the cost Of help and the lack of experience all stood in the way as drawbacks The attention of the gov ernment was called to the phenomenal success of the cooperative system in Denmark and other European counr tries as well as where tried in the east' ern provinces and at once experts wers placed at the disposal of the people throughout the country. This led to the establishment of chain of cooper ative creameries through the territories
 These institutions while subject to the control of the patrons through boards of directors are absolutely un- x.,hio in sures perfect safety to all patrons. The milk, or the cream separated at home when so desired by separators, is taken to the dairy station, there tested and weighed as delivered and converted into butter by the experts. Advances are made from month to month which are found to be very convenient by settlers who commenced farming with limited means and balances are handed over when sales are effected at the close of the season. This saves the settlers all the expenses incident to manufacturing at home and great deal of trouble in other respects.
 Educational.
 All religious denominations are on equal footing in the great Canadian West There is the fullest freedom to all denominations to build churches and worship as they please. The schools are national, non-sectarian and free: that is, there Is no tax for at tendance. the government defraying a large portion of the cost. The balancs of the cost of education is met by a tax of about B a year on each quar- ter section (f60) acres, Schools under highly certifieated teachers are in all towns and villages and country dis tricts where there are dozen or moro children to attend them. The growth or the education system will give l fair view of the growth Of the eoun try. In 18S6 there were but 76 schools in the whole country, with q govern ment grant Of SS.90S. In 1904 there yere S45 schools with grant of S273.- 600
 Opportunities Waiting.
 The Canadian West is no longer la it's initial stage and the subject for comment for the doubting Thomases and T-told-you-sos. There Is scarcely country of Europe or a state of ths American union that has not it's scores of sons and daughters there enjoying the prosperity begotten of energy and enterprise and willing to bear testi- mony to the many and varied adyan- tages they possess. There is not there the same pleasures for the kid-gloved farmer that he may find in older and better settled countries. but there is the climate and other conditions that eventuate in robust manhood and Mnmanhood. the climate and soil that
