through Prince Rupert. Moreover, the
natural gateway to the Last Great
West"
In the course Of a few years its
docks will be the receiving point for
much of the commerce from the Orient
and from Alaska. From Prince Rupert
this commerce will be carried all the
way through Canada to the Atlantic
ocean, or by way of st. Paul, Minneap-
oils and Chicago to United States
points.
Center Of Big Fishing Industry.
Prince Rupert will be one Of the
factors to be reckoned with in the
business life OF the continent. One Of
the great sources of wealth already
tapped is the fishing industry. Mil
lions Of pounds Of halibut are taken
each month from the neighboring wa
ters, and remarkable fact is that this
fish is being eaten in the English sea
coast cities which have been deprived
Of their fish supply through the sub
marine perils of the North sea. Hun
dreds of carloads of this Prince Ru-
pert halibut are moved in refrigerator
cars, and the fish is in perfect condi-
ton when 1t reaches the consumers
tables nearly six thousand miles away
from the waters where it was caught.
The Skeena river, which empties into
| the harbor of Prince Rupert, is one
90 %. III, I,n
| world, and thousands of people are
employed during the canning season
along its shores.
Prince Rupert has had no great
boom or hysterical speculation, but it
is finding its feet among the older
competitors along the coast. The pi-
oneers had great natural obstacles to
overcome. Every street is cut out OF
solid rock, and blasts costing $4,000
were by no means a rarity; and today
blasting and street making Is still 60
ing on, with great deal OF paving
yet to be done.
Prince Rupert is right in the path
of the Chinook winds, warmed by the
Japanese current. There is much fine
soft rain during the spring, but the
winters have a compepsating mildness
and throughout the cold months the
steamers from Seattle, Vancouver and
Victoria go in and out the port, car
rying passengers and cargo, and sal
through sheltered waters far removed
from the menace of floating ice.
Canada Is proud of her new Pacific
gateway, and the work done by the
Prince Rupert pioneers Is among the
most notable achievements in city
building of which this continent has
record.

WINTER FEEDING FOR COWS
Good Milk Flow Cannot Be Expected
Without Feed Of Right Kind
SiIaoe Replaces Grass.

(By PROF. OSCAR ERR, Dairy Depart
ment, Ohio State University
You cannot expect COW to keep
up good milk flow without plenty of
feed of the right kind. Silage should
be used now to replace the grass ra-
tion. 1t is easy to forget that the
cows feed is being shortened, and IL
the best returns are to be secured the
milk flow must be kept as high as
possible for ten or IL months of the
year. II it once goes down it is almost
impossible to raise it before the next
freshening.
Less feed will BIO required and bet
ter results secured if good barn Is
used. The dairy COW will not do her
best work when exposed to the cold
even though given plenty of feed 1t
is cheaper and more effective to keep
her warm by means of barn than by
extra feed.
