claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell a carload of
hogs at the high price of eleven cents
pound, live weight. The sale was
made short time ago at Calgary, and
at that time was record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11.12h per hundredweight. With
such prices available for hogs the
farmer has a market for everything
his farm produces, as there is prac.
tically no farm product which cannot
be converted into good hog flesh. The

Washington, May 29-President VII
son broke his silence on peace and
discussed the subject at some length.
He spoke at dinner of the League
to Enforce Peace.
The President gave an intimation
that he is making an informal effort
to bring about termination of the

dent the world is even now upon the
eve Of great contamination" he left
the impression that he believed peace
Is not far distant.
The President disclosed that the
United States will not attempt tc
shape the terms Of settlement. feel
ing that it Is in no degree a party to
the present quarrel.
1t will, however, endeavor to bring
about the establishment of an inter.
national league to preserve peace and

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

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today Is in h1gnis
hourishing condition and is bouna III
very short time to become muen
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article anu
it's use abroad has given 1t iot Oh
useful advertising. The article KNOWN
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trencnes'
but by the ordinary civilian consumer
who, having used it, is quick TO ap-
preciate its value, This means that
after 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 it Is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter or
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
crn 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 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
table,
One of the first thoughts that occur
to the mind of the average prospective
settler Is the likelihood Ct suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be illuminating. It
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,

A c cage FOR WHEAT CUR.
TAILED 10 PER CENT WITH
GREATER cURTAILMENT IN
CORN PLANTED.
GOOD WEATHER WILL DO
WONDERS FOR FARMERS
Heavy Rains Of Last Fortnight Cause
81 Light Planting of Corn--Heavy
Averages In Other Grains and
6arley-Potatoes One OF the
Favorite Crops.

Minneapolis. May 30.--General crop
reports from throughout Minnesota
and the Northwestern wheat and corn
belt, according to survey based on
reports from a score Of the growing
sections, indicate a general optimistic
sentiment prevails among the agricul,
turists although In most sections the
crop Is from two to three weeks late.
Because of the heavy rains of the last
fortnight, acreage for wheat has been
curtailed from 10 to 20 per cent with
q much greater curtailment In the
amount Of corn planted, but reports
from the Dakotas where the greatest
quantity of the Northwest wheat is
raised indicate there Is nothing to be
looked for in the way Of lettering con-
ditions there.
Good Weather to Save Wheat.
Good weather from now on will save
the Minnesota wheat, do great things
for the corn planters and allow the
districts where the ground is too wet
for working time to dry out and be
planted. In the rolling wheat districts
all over the Northwest, such wheat
as has been planted and has escaped
the heavy drowning rains, Is report
ed to be sturdily rooted and Of good
color with the best outlook for a heavy
crop Of good quality.
Light planting of wheat and corn
have led to heavy acreage in other
grains and barley and oat fields. while
clover, timothy and alfalfa promise
harvests in excess of those Of last
fall. Potatoes are one OF the favor
lite crops to which the farmers have
turned in many sections, with the re-
suit there Is an Increased acreage of
about SO per cent over that of a year
ago.
Seeding Nearly Completed.
Correspondents say the seeding has
been about three-fourths completed,
with the backward districts merely
awaiting sunshine to dry out the low
lands before getting out Some OF the
grain planted has been sown hurriedly-
with the result that the ground has not
been worked as well as II might, but
good growing weather will largely set
aside this difficulty. In Southern Min
nesota the winter wheat suffered con-
siderable damage from the excessive
cold, and the late and wet spring, but
the extent of this damage cannot be
estimated until few more days of
sunshine have had their effect.

Washington, May 29.-The United
States. denouncing interference with
