at that time was a record. although
prices have since gone as high as

such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
Lis farm produces, as there is prac-

be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor

the stock farmer is as sure of success

DAIRY|NG IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
fourishing condition and is bound in
a very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it a lot of
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, having used It, is quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
alter the war there will be a demand
created for 1t that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be net. AS a matter Of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an ex-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become IN of the finest cheese coun-
tries Of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for nc purpose. will in time produce
cheese IN great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming, is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof

ALL SORTS OF
SPORTS HATS.

Sports and outing hats are classed
as one in a new department of mil.
linery that stands for the spirit of
ahe times. There are all sorts of
sports hats, from the low-prieed but
chic fabric-covered shapes which one
may buy for a very few dollars, to
the expensive hand-wrought shapes
with handmade garnitures that cost
their possessors several times $40.
But sports hats are Injuries which all
may enjoy-an extra hat with which
the new woman expresses her deyo-
ton to out-of-doors and the pleasures
of summer time.
Besides innumerable fabric-covered
hats there are sports hats made of
millinery braids and other millinery
materials which give designers ample
opportunity to depart from the ordi-
nary in creations unlike other mil
linery. Originality is much priced and
the fancy is allowed free play in hats
of this character, so that unexpected
and even bizarre novelties find ready
following. Among the most success
full of those lately produced are shapes
with round crowns and flexible brims.
