WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Show
Tremendous Increase in
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association, reviewed pro-
gress Of 1916 which shows a great in
crease in the butter production Of the
cooperative creameries amounting to
100000 lbs. He also said the Inn
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase of over 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease in dairy butter and owe $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
Increase Of the total value of milk and
milk products was yer $427,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, Az lbs.
and it brought an average price Of 23c

lbs. were produced which commanded
29c per Id. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726, 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value of these three products is given
as S 2,760,699, in addition to which the
milk produced is valued at $325,659
and the cream at $15S,S27, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per ID. and Of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t Is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now is corn, of which the
1915 production amounted to 1908
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,815 tons; of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631, 005, which is an in
crease of 10000. over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory Is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. ii, it was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons a rate of 27hc per
lb. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming e all expenses of 1854.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61,117 and manu-
featured 256,O00 lbs. butter and $4,000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 28A cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth of a prominent
dairy business here, which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525,0 900 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found a market in all
parts Of Canada and this year will en-
ter the export trade. Advertisement.

are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named Ito children at all, or

Garden Plots and Patriotism.

We farmers, as a rule, are not a
class of men who can boast of bank
accounts upon which we might draw
to purchase American flags, so our
patriotism must manifest itself in
some other form. One of my patriotic
neighbors, by the way, has become so
enthused over the matter of prepared
ness that he has laid out his small
farm to resemble Old Glory, seven
rows of red-tOp beets representing the
CORY stripes, with six rows of white
turnips alternated between them. On
one corner of the plot six rows of cab
bage heads indicate the As stars of the
Union Jack, and on the fence post at
the upper corner of this American
vegetable flag sits a stuffed henhawk
with spread wings resembling the
American eagle. This is not ALL No,
indeed He has arranged a set of
bugle calls for the dinner horn which
begin at the hour of reveille and at
which every member of his patriotic
household tumbles out. Military
salutes have taken the place of Good

and other unpatriotic expressions of
cOrdiality.-Zim in Cartoons Magazine.

Make Silk Sausage Skins.

Germany now is making sausage
skins of raw silk, according to the
Rheinische Westfaelische Zeitung.
Even before the war experiments were
being conducted in the making of a
hollow casing of raw silk to be filed
with sausage meat. The Elberfeld rib
bon factory is now turning out great
lengths of this sausage casing. Just
now, however, owing to the shortage
of meat, very large quantities of cas-
ing are not needed. With the ordinary
prices of raw silk prevailing the new
casing is no dearer THAI the usual sau-
sage skins.
The Berliner LOkal Anzeiger of Au-
gust says that a new invention has
been introduced by the Berlin inven-
tons bureau for putting meat up in
briquettes for transport. These
briquettes, it is said, are impervious
to the attack of insects.
