CANADIAN GOVERNMENT CREAM

Of dairying. There is unlimited pas
turage of the very best during the pas
turing season, the whole year round in
the ranching 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 mex
pensive item at the most. Again there
are favorable dairying regulations Of
which the people are justly proud. In
dividual butter and cheese making was
tested at an early day and resulted, as
it does everywhere, in but a partial
success. The construction of suitable
houses for the care Of milk and prod
ucts, the cost of help and the lack of
experience all stood in the way as
drawbacks. The attention of the gov
eminent was called to the phenomenal
success of the cooperative system In
Denmark and other European coun-
tries as well as where tried in the east
ern provinces and at once experts were
placed at the disposal of the people
throughout the country. This led to
the establishment of a chain of cooper.
alive creameries through the territories
These institutions while subject to
the control of the patrons through
boards Of directors are absolutely un
der government management which 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 witt
limited means and balances are
handed over when sales are effected a
tie close of the season. This saves the
settlers all the expenses incident tt
manufacturing at home and a grea
deal of trouble in other respects.
Educational.
All religious denominations are OF
equal footing in the great Canadian
West. There is the fullest freedom tt
all denominations to build churches
and worship as they please. Thu
schools are national, non-sectarian ant
free; that is, there is no tax for at
tendance, the government defraying ;
large portion of the cost. The balanc
of the cost of education is met by
tax of about SO year on each quar-
ter section (160) acres. Schools unde
highly certifcated teachers are in al
towns and villages and country dis
tricts where there are dozen or NOR
children to attend them. The growt
of the education system will give
fair view of the growth of the coun
try. In 1886 there were but rs school
in the whole country, with govern
ment grant of $S,908. In 1904 Their
were S45 schools with grant of S27S
600.
Opportunities Waiting.

comment for the doubling Thomase

country of Europe or state of tn
American union that has not its score

the same pleasures for the kid-glove

better settled countries, but there is tn
