Dressing for vampire part is not SC
simple a. matter as some people may
suppose it to be.
In view of some exhibitions which
have been seen on the screen, it must
be evident that there are actresses who
regard it more as matter of undress-
ing than of dressing. This course does
indeed simplify matters, as it requires
no particular art to get rid Of q certain
mount Of clothing.

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

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
flourishing 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 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 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 Tina 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. 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.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1916-06-02

A farmer OF Monarch, AlDeTLa,
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
$11.121s 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
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.

TIME FOR sHEARING SHEEP
Mistaken Notion to Wait Until Late
in Season for Heavier and
Better Fleece,

Some people have the idea that ii
sheep are not shorn until late in the
season the fleece will be heavier and
better. This, an experienced shep-
herd Of Wisconsin says, is mistaken
notion, and is often the cause of con-
siderable loss. The sheep lose in
weight during the first warm days of
spring, and, as the fresh grass acts
as laxative, the fleece becomes dirty
and unpleasant to handle. It is a
much better plan to shear the sheep
before turning to grass, as this will
insure cleaner wool and will therefore
make better gains. Don't neglect to
trim the animals hoofs, if they need
it, as cases of foot-rot can thus b
prevented

Miss e. H. Becher, r. r. c., whose
official title is that of matron in chief,
is responsible for the army Of nearly
1000 military nurses. From her room

are operating. But one sees no signs
