(By w. 2. STEVENS, Live Stock Com
missioner Of Province OF Alberta.)
AS swine growing is the natural ad
junct OF dairying, so sheep Is the ma
tural accompaniment of extensive
wheat farming. The ability to utilize
and turn to account what would other.
wise be waste products is the determ.
lining factor in each case.
The by-products of the wheat farm
are weeds, volunteer grains and
grasses, weed seeds, shriveIled grain
and straw. The first four, sheep will
utilize to better advantage than will
any other kind Of live stock, and only
beef cattle and horses will surpass
sheep in turning wheat straw to ac-
count.
Another reason why sheep should
appeal to the extensive wheat farmer
Is that once he has installed the pro-
per equipment such as fences, open
sheds and watering places, they inter-
fere little with his field work. In fact,
IT is very doubtful If the extra work
they occasion during the busy season
Daily public ledger., 1912-11-02


is not more than Offset by the labor
they save on the summer fallow in
the way of soil packing, weed eradica.
tion and the spreading of manure.
Another fact worth considering is
that the presence of a flock Of sheep
on grain farm does not necessitate
material reduction in the area de-
voted to grain growing, but on the
other hand 1t never fails to insurS a
larger yield of better grain, and 1t
makes possible the growing of grain
for n longer period OF years than can
be done without them, or some other
kind of livestock.
A certain amount OF technical
knowledge regarding sheep, their
habits. etc, is necessary to success,
but the same is equally true of all
classes OF animals, and amateurs
should acquire this knowledge with a
email flock In order that their mis-.
takes do not cost them too dearly.
The first step to be taken when
embarking in the business of sheep
raising Is to enclose at least one field
with a coyote-proof fence. Additional
fields similarly enclosed should be
provided as occasion requires, or ones
means permit. An effective dog and
coyote'proof fence can be made by u.s.
Ing a woven wire fence four feet
high and attached to the inside of the
posts. A strand Of barbed wire should
be run along the surface Of the
ground, and another about six inches

Strlnqy Milk.

Stringy milk sometimes makes its
appearance early in the summer. The
trouble Is usually caused by allowing
the COWS to drink from filthy pools or
to lie down in filth filed with germs
or to wade through mud that comes in
contact with the openings of the
teats. Prevention is the best remedy.
Keep the animals in clean quarters
and allow them to drink only clean
water, preferably from a deep well.

TRADE REVIEW
Record Holiday Business Sue
cessful
Orders

New York, Dec. 30.-Following is
the weekly review Of trade by Brad
streets commercial agency:
What is described in most sections Of
the country as a record holiday trade
has crowned a year which has had few
equals and fewer superiors in nearly
ev cry line of human endeavor.
This, of course, refers directly to
volume of product or value of output
rather than to margins of profit which
are conceded to have been cut in
many lines.
Best reports as to holiday and retail
trade came from the west, northwest,
most parts Of the southwest and the
| Pacific coast. In wholesale trade and
industry there has been a quieter tone.
As the year closes the feeling is one
of cheerful conservatism, but not OF
pessimism because Of the fact that
| three to seven months orders are In
hand.
The end of the year finds the labor
situation quiet as a whole, after a
year notable for some big strikes and
for many and widespread wage ad-
vancas.
Holiday dizziness prevails in the
New York stock market, the renewed
6rmness of msney due to end of the
year requirements also checking specu'
lative activity. A somewhat improved
sentiment is displayed. however.

PROGRESS AT
ARROWROCX dam

The work on the Arrowrock dam
has progressed better than was antici-
pated. With the exception of sew
eral rainy days the weather has favor
ed the project. The dinky cars and en-
gines and dray-pay on account OF the
depth have been removed. The cars
are being worked on the side hill
under the head towers doing excava-
ton work for the spillway, which is to
empty into Deer Creek The drag
pan is being used to scrape up gravel
for the cement mixer which is situat-
ed on the lower edge of the pit.
All the gravel under the cableways
has been removed until the bare bed
rock lies exposed from cliff to cliff. 1t
presents a grotesque surface-water
worn and full of pot notes.-the whole
bottom tells the story of ages of water
action in days when the West was
young. AT present it is being careful
ly cleaned and all sand and bits OF
stone are removed by hand.
Cementing has begun in the middle
keyway and the mixer is pouring the
cement into forms night and day. The
upstream keyway is well defined and
cut deeply into the rock. 1t extends
from the crest of the Arrowrock dag
onally across the bedrock and up the
cliff on the opposite side OF the river.
The cement mills are grinding up
the granite and mixing it with cement
1t is further mixed with gravel in the
mixer by the pit. From here the little
cableways distribute it into the forms
that are placed on the rock bottom.
Preparations are being made for the
changing of No. l galloway. which
is to be placed further downstream
The shifts were changed some
what the 10th Of the month, SO that q
greater number work the day shift
than formerly. Wages were cut The
first of November in several depart.
ments of the work. This action did
not meet with the approval of the
men concerned.
There was deal of speculation as
to the size of the nuggets which would
be found resting in the pockets OF the
bedrock. The writer odes not know
whether any gold has been found IN
the gravels near the bottom, no time
however, is given for such purposes
The men find an equal enjoyment and
excitement at the mess-halls, in the
search for tender pieces OF meat. The
lure of gold is thus forgotten.

We have the pleasure Of reporting a
very enjoyable meeting OF the 9th
inst, at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. d. Blatchley. These dear people
thoroughly understood the art OF hos
pitality and succeeded in making their
home truly delightful place: The
program for the reception of The city
teachers was carried out as planned
with one exception. The address by
Hon. J. c. Price, on "The Value Of
the Child to the Community" showed
careful thought and a thorough ap..
probation of his subject. The idea OF
true philanthropy was brought out
very clearly, viz: The idea which
we find in Holy Writ. in these words:
No man liveth unto himself" and "Ye
that are strong ought to bear the in
hrmities of the weak" also that
child of undergraduate ability is not
to be despised or his value estimated
beneath that of the brilliant one. After
ms interesting discussion he came to
the inevitable conclusion that the
value OF the child can not be estimated.
