The Department inspectors have
learned by experience that burglars
in the guise of peddlers are in the
habit of visiting post offices to learn
the location of safe where stamps are
kept and other items regarding the
office which they propose to operate
upon.
If a record such as described above
might be kept in all towns and viii
lagos where a Post Office is located
t would enable officers to apprehend
the perpetrators of burglaries and al
so act as a preventative of such de-
oredations further than this suah a
process might enable local office to
secure some of the standing rewards
offered by the Department for the ap-
prehension of burglars.

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

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today Is in highly
fourishing condition and is bound IN
very short time to become mucn
more important. The war has created
great demand for that article, and
it's use abroad has given it 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 demand
created for it 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 1t is hoped
that this will be met. 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
orn 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 one of the finest cheese coun-
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no 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 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
table
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler is the likelihood Of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be Illuminating. 1t
is supplied by the P. Burns company,
packers and exporters, of Calgary, and
shows the average monthly price paid
for hogs for the six years 1910 to 1915
inclusive When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari-
son.

by the side of the road and Justify call
ing for help. He was perfectly con-
scious of his unpleasant predicament
but was unable to move. Immense
quantities of yangona are consumed by
the natives. Few white people like
the taste at first, but it is considered
refreshing on a hot day and it is so
pleasantly stimulating that many Euro
peans in Fiji drink it habitually.
Making Yaneona.
Yangona is brewed on all festal &C.
casions as a matter of course. A great
wooden bowl with four legs is used for
the purpose. Usually it is beautifully
polished from long usage and has a
purple bloom like that of the grape.
the yangona root, which comes from a
plant growing freely all over the is
lands, is brought in when all is ready
and publicly scraped and cleaned.
Then it is cut into small pieces and
grated into the great bowl. In olden
times it was customary to have the
root prepared by chewing rather than
by grating. Several young men or
pretty girls were given pieces of the
root and hidden chew them until large
Jumps of white fiber had been obtained.
The operation required some time and
the chewers frequently washed out
their mouths with fresh water 1t is
contended even yet by many people in
Fiji that yangona prepared by the
chewing process is much preferable
to that obtained by grating, so far as
the flavor is concerned.
The second process is adding the
water, which is poured over the roots
in the bowl, after which it is wrung
out through piece of HIBISCUS fiber,
which is like fine netting. The yellow
ish fluid which is thus produced tastes
like rhubarb and magnesia.
In spite of the fact that they follow
the practices of the Christian church,
some being Methodists, some Advent
lists and some Catholics, many of the
old-time rites are still persisted in.
Perhaps the most interesting as well
as the most remarkable is that found
on the island of Beqa, one of the Fiji
group, where the natives walk bare
footed on stones so hot that they glow.
Although the statement was long ques.
toned, the fact has been established
that there is no jugglery about this
rite, although nobody can explain why
the feet of the firewalkers, as they are
called, are not terribly burned.

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta.
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell carload of
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$1112k per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
Lis farm produces, as there is prac-
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The
uncertainty Of results which attends
grain farming even under most favor
able conditions is removed when the
settler goes in for raising hogs, beef
and dairy products. With Western
Canada's cheap lands, heavy crops, and
climate free from diseases of stock,
the stock farmer is as sure of success
as anyone can be-Advertisement.

Poetry From Experience,

The finest poetry was first expert
ence; but the thought has suffered a
transformation since it was an expert
ence; cultivated men often attain a
good degree of skill in writing verses,
but it is easy to read through their
poems their personal history; anyone
acquainted with the parties can name
every figure: This is Andrew, that is
Rachel. The sense thus remains pro-
sale. 1t is caterpillar with wings and
not yet a butterfly. In the poets mind
the fact has gone quite over into the
new element of thought, and has lost
all that is exuvial.-Emerson
