EXCELLENT TRADE IN WESTERN
CANADA.

Splendid Crops, Dig Prices, ana
Prosperous Outlook for the Fu-
ture.
Throughout all of Canada, and es-
pecially in the western provinces or
Canada, there is buoyancy IN every
line of business that is fully warrant
ed by every condition. The crops OF,
the past year were what was expected,
and the prices for grain of all xmas
put the farmers in class by them
selves. Many of them are lndepend-
ent, and many others have got wen
started on the road. The latest reports
are that seeding is we'll under way III
almost every district, and the pros
poets are that vastly larger area than
that under crop last year will be seed
ed early this spring. In the Leth-
bridge district, in Southern Alberta,
steam and gasoline outfits, hundreds OF
them, are breaking up the prairie at
tremendous pace. but they work
night and day. AS soon as 1t becomes
dark gangs are changed head hshC
attached, and on, on through the night
until the first streak of dawn, these
giant monsters with their seven or
eight gangs Of breaking plows, keep up
the work Then the more modest farm
er is putting in the longest hours pos
sible with his teams of horses or oxen.
And what will the country be ike III
August, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden

OF wheat field And there will be
market for 1t, because 1t Is the oest
grain grown, and the demand Will De
everywhere. AS previously lntimateu,
business throughout Western Canada
is sound and good. The grain produc-
ton OF 1909 has been the great factor
in establishing the reputation of West
ern Canada, and it is worth taking
about 1t surpassed all previous rec
ords, both in regard to quality ana
quantity, and such an achievement
was by no means easy. The limit mas
not been reached, and a large average
increase may be expected during the
next ten years. There will be odd sea-
sons when falling off will occur, ana
it is the falling off that causes alarms
and panics in the commercial world.
The plains have done their duty so far
in the output of grain and 1t would be
reasonable to make occasional allow
ances for slowing up. The faster the
rate Of increase is now. the sharper
will be the check when the production
diminishes. But there are some I'M
reasonable people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next. and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable people
are the ones who see flaws in the sit
nation as soon as an indication Is given
that the startling advances have not
heen maintained.

COYOTE AND EAGLE
BATTLE TO DEATH

Spokane, Wash, Jan. g. Marsh
hill, near Fairfield. Spokane county,
was the scene of terrific encounter
between a golden eagle and coyote,
the latter emerged minus an ear. The
big bird and the coyote were captured
in traps set close together by Ned
Morrison. son Of Colonel e. II. ,Morri-
son. The eagle was heavily handi-
capped by the trap which held It's left
claw, but stood its ground well by
using the right spur and beak. It
died shortly after being released from
the trap and will be mounted. The
coyote was the largest ever seen in
eastern Washington. The scratching
on the frozen ground and the. wounds
on its hind legs indicate that the
animal attempted to get away from
its tormentor, but the trap held It
firm Young Morrison. who witnessed
the last part of the fight, says 1t was
a lively skirmish. the battle continu-
ing half hour after he reached the
scene, when he dispatched the coyote
with stick of cord wood. The pres
ence of the coyote so near settlement
is said to be due to the heavy snow

Urges Cooperation With
Federal Meat Inspectors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington. d. c.. Jan. 3.-That hall
the meat eaten in the United States
can be called uninspected and that a
real and serious danger to the public
exists as result, is one of the con-
clusions reached by DR.. A. d. Melvin,
chief of the United States Bureau OF
Animal Industry, in his annual report
to the secretary of agriculture.
Inefficiency of the government in
spection because of its lack OF author
ity to reach business done entirely
within state, is given as one of the
causes. and DR.. Melvin points out the
great need of supplementing the gov
ernment inspection of meats with state
and municipal inspections.
One result OF the federal inspection
is to cause the diversion OF diseased
and suspicious looking animals to the
uninspected establishments where they
are slaughtered for the local market,
says the report.
Many cities have an inspection ser
vice but very few have an adequate
force, and the inspection often CON
sists of merely examining the meat
as offered for sale in the markets,
when it is usually impossible to de-
tect disease the evidence Of which
may have been removed with the Wis
cera or organs" says DR.. Melvin.
"As a rule, sanitary conditions are
very bad at uninspected slaughter
houses and in order to provide real
protection against diseased or un-
wholesome meat a competent veterin-
airy and sanitary inspection at the
time OF slaughter is essential"
Despite the shortcomings of the in.
spection, it has many advantages and
is producing results which are In

law, a steady improvement in the sani-

the amount OF meat condemned In the
inspections.
Notwithstanding the efforts to give
a competent inspection. the service
has been unjustly attacked, the re-
port asserts. The incident at East
|St. Louis is recalled and Dr. Melvin
says the charges there had their
foundation in animus and not in fact.
In Some cases other attacks we're the
result of ignorance of conditions or
misrepresentation of facts. Thorough
investigation of some cases of pto-
maine poisoning charged to iueat, prov
ed that in not one of the instances
could the trouble be properly ascrib-
ed to that cause. In other cases,
typhoid fever had been found in
schools where reports of ptomaine
poisoning were circulated.
such instances" says DR.. Melvin,
should be sufficient to show that
credence should not be placed in re-
ports rejecting against the meat In

ed were passed, the amount was such
AN infinitesimal part of the entire
quantity that 1t did not affect the value
and the integrity of the service as a
whole.
More than 36,O00,000 animals were
inspected at the time of slaughter dur.
ing the fiscal year just closed and
more than 100000 were condemned
in whole or in part. On re-inspection
more than 25,OO0,O0O pounds of meat
and meat products were condemned
which had become unwholesome since
inspection at the time of slaughter.
The inspection service had an ap.
preparation of $3.000,O0O to do bust
mess on during the year and spent
$2,SS4,OOO.
