WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in 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 Low 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
after the war there will be a 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 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 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 of suitable
markets. In this connection the fol-
lowing table will be illuminating. 1t

inclusive When one considers the low
initial cost of the land and the small
overhead cost of maintenance and
feed, these prices challenge compari-

Her Kiss His Anesthetic.

Especially in nursing the wounded
have women displayed an immense de-
votion. / recall an incident. 1t was
urgent that serious operation should
be performed On seriously wounded
soldier. The surgeon was in great
distress, for he had no anesthetic, and
the operation was a grave one. With
quick intelligence the nurse, a French
lady, leaned forward, kissed the
wounded man and placed her cheek
caressingly next to his. A gratified
smile came over his poor face and he
submitted to the operation without a
murmur.-Herbert Ward, in Outlook.

Wanted Another Advancement

It had been an unusually hard day
for little Theo. who was visiting her
great-grandmother, ct whose house
lived her grandmother and her Uncle
Wallie also. This uncle, who INDUCED
her with a fine disregard of conse-
Quences. was great favorite of little
Theo. On this particular day she had
been naughty, calling forth many re-
proofs from her two grandmothers.
At last, weary and discouraged, she
sat down Indignantly in her little
rocker, and, eying her grandmothers
with evident disgust, remarked with
a loud sigh: Il wish God had not
made me so many grandmaS, but had
made me more Uncle Wallies.'

COOK BUSTED UP THE TEA
Little DOUBT as to Who Was Boss on
Ranch Owned by Robert Louis
Stevenson.

A party of visitors to Saranac
Lake, n. Y, went to call on Robert
Louis Stevenson" says the late Dr.
Edward L. Trudeau in his autobiog-
raphy, recently published.
When we knocked at the front
door a voice from within called out,
You cannot come in this way. The
wood is up against the door. Go
round by the Kitchen
so we all filed through the kitchen
to the little sitting room with the big
fireplace, where Mr.. Stevenson re-
ceived us. After a while Lloyd Os-
borne asked the ladies if they would
have a cup of tea and as they assented
he departed for the kitchen. Soon ne
returned with broad smile on his
face
1 am sorry, but you can't have any
tea; the cook scouts the idea!' And
we didn't have any" Doctor Trudeau
added.

Shortly after Sir Edward Carson
had relinquished the post Of solicitor
general he was speaking of the meth

Il had son who went through that
ordeal and when 1t was over asked
him what had been said to him.
"A lot of rot!' he replied. They
asked me if my father was the solicit
tor general and when l said that he
was they asked me why | didn't follow

The last time | had seen father was

at the top, on high seat, and he
looked at father SO an grily that
didn't feel like doing anything but
cry.
Before that father had been away
for long time, and mother and Mr..
Griggs told me he was never coming
back, and l must forget him. How
could ] forget him when he used to
play soldiers with me and we'd go
fishing together and have such lots of
fun?
The judge told me I'd have to go
home with mother and forget him,
too. l guess | was only kid then
I'm nine now, and that was a long
time ago. Anyway, / forgot what hap
pened for some time after that, but
l didn't forget father.

pecially when Mr.. Griggs was at our
house. One day mother asked me how
I'd like Mr. Griggs for new father,
and l said if he were my father I'd
run away. | guess mother didn't like
that, and she told me Mr. Griggs would
be far nicer father to me- But Mr.
Griggs never played anything with me,
and he didn't know a fly from worm
