DOG FRUSTRATED A SUICIDE
Man Killed by a Canine While on HIs
Way to End His Life in
a Pool.

London.-A collier named Patrick
Lawrence, who left his home at Fen
ton early in the morning with the in
tention Of drowning himself, was found
dead in a field killed by shock and Sc
yerely injured by a dog.
He had been unable to work for
two years, and after his family had
gone to bed, he wrote a letter to them
indicating that his body would be
found in a pool by the station.
1t was found at a spot leading to
the pool. and there was evidence that
he had been attacked by a retriever
which is chained up to protect a fowl
house which he had to pass.
His clothing was torn to shreds and
there were claw marks on his body
and wounds on his head which might
have been caused by the dogs teeth.

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
sTuFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense Of producing it on high-priced
lands. would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period. There Is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions Of acres OF land, easily
c~ultiyatable. highly productive. access
.sible to railways, and with u~nexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such. and in the course
Of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But in no country has the
development been as great mol as
rapid. whether in city or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, HAs.
~katchewan and Abe. Ia have the lalrg-
est area OF desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has Just begun.
Even with a two hundred rdillion
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. of the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 1900, 900 bushels. 1t
is a simple calculation TO estimate
that II four per cent. Of the available
cultivatable area produces something
over 200, 000. 900 bushels, what will A
per cent. produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 1919,
1900 being from the United States:
In 1906 it was 18S,O64, Of which $1,000
were Americans, and in 1918 It was
about AGO. 00, {of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is a nan of shrewd business In
stincts. Just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to 5000 per
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half a section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and OF age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess OF anything he
has " known, it viii take more
than an ordinary effort to. prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital Of Drawn.
muscle and sinew, following It SO as
to keep In touch with the industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital Of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up of a
country.
Nothing Is said of the great mineral
and forest wealth, Of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders a larger
number Of settlers in SO short a time,
or has attracted so much wealth In a
period Of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering BEEN accomplished under
conditions so favorable as those that
exist In western Canada today.-Ad-

The best type is the most profitable
combination of wool and mutton. The
Investigations of the tariff board indi-
cate that sheep farming for wool alone
is Improbable. In investigating SAB
fiocks of the fine-wool section of Ohio
they found that when there was a net
credit to wool the percentage of re-
ceipts from wool was 38 and from
other sources 62. If the raising of
sheep for wool alone does not pay in
this region, it probably would not in
aIy other part of the farming section.
In establishing a flock it is better
for the farmer to start on a small
scale, unless he has previously had
experience. When one is dealing with
small numbers, a mistake in manage
ment or an error in judgment is not
SO great Importance as where larger
numbers are involved. Starting with
a small flock requires less capital also.
If 1t is desired to augment the size of
the flock, this a be done by the
natural increase, the best eve lambs
being selected each year for the pur-
pose. This should prove more eco
nomical than buying all the breeding
stock outright. Where the stock is
produced on the farm, only the cost OF
production car rightly be charged
against it, but where it is purchased
the cost of production plus a profit
and very often the price of the D
tation of the breeder must be paid.
BY producing the breeding stock him
self, the farmer should secure a more
uniform lot and one better adapted to
his own particular conditions. Anoth-
er advantage of small numbers, espe-
cially where capital is limited, is that
better animals can be purchased.
The ram has as much influence
upon the flock as the entire eve flock
bred to him, which fact gives rise to
the old saying, The ram is half the
flock The selection of the ram Is
thus seen to be a matter Of prime i'm
portance. Improvement in breeding
can be brought about in a flock at less
expense by the use of a good ram
than in any other way. A good ram
Is a valuable investment. and the few
extra dollars in cost over the price of
a mediocre one multiply themselves
in returns on the lamb crop. The
wise selection Of a single ram has in
many cases made a flock famous.
Probably sheep are subject to more
ills than any other class of domestic
animals. At any rate. they seem to

be more helpless in repelling the at.
tacks made upon them. This need
not discourage the prospective shep.
herd, since good care and manage
ment will obviate most of these trou-
bles. Upon this care and manage
ment depends the luck" of the shep-
herd. Flocks are known to exist upon
weeds and waste roughages with lit
tie or no attention. but the returns
are proportionately meager.
A well-trained sheep dog is m Of
the greatest friends of the industry,
while the cur dog is one of its worst
enemies. The Scotch collie is the
sheep dog OF America, and a WE'LL
trained can not be appreciated
unless seen at work. Their t~ireless
watching, even at night, makes them
invaluable to the sheep herder. By
their barking they warn him of any
prowler that may be lurking about
the flock.
Much of the sleepy flavor of mutton
comes from the generation of gases
in the stomach after the sheep is
killed. For this reason sheep should
be dressed as rapidly as possible. A
platform six or eight inches high is
a convenient thing to work on and
aids in keeping the blood away from
the body, insuring a cleaner
After dressing, the carcass should
be cooled to 40 degrees, or as near
that as possible. In the summer it
will be necessary to have Ice for this
purpose. Where there is a farm re-
frigerator the carcass can be placed In
1t, provided there is a circulation of
dry air and no Objectionable doors
r present Mutton can be kept for
a week or ten days under these con
ditions. In the majority of cases, how
ever, ice is not available on the farm.
Under these conditions the sheep or
lamb, al the case may be, should be
slaughtered in the evening, the car
cass allowed to hang out overnight
where nothing will disturb it,, and
taken to a cool dry room or cellar In
the morning, before the flies are
about. If the carcass is split it will
cool out more rapidly. Under these
conditions it is a good plan for two or
0 farmers to club together, each
taking a part of the carcass, so that
there will be no danger of the meat
spelling before it can be used.

Guilty about keeping the meat. A good
way to keep mutton at this time is to
allow it to freeze up and to cut off
enough for use from time to time with
a saw A single freezing does not
injure the quality, but alternate freez-
ing and thawing is harmful and should
be avoided.
Lamb and mutton should never be
used for food until it is thoroughly
cooled out. Lamb is as good as it
ever will be as soon as it is thorough
ly cooled, but mutton improves with
ripening for a week at 40 to As de-
grees F. Mutton can be corned, but
it is not as palatable nor is it as nu-
tritious as the fresh meat. The hams
are sometimes spiced and are consid-
r by many to be a delicacy when
