DAIRYING IN
WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
nourishing condition and is bound in
very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given 1t a lot Of
useful advertising. The article known
as Canadian cheese is now sought not
only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who, Shaving 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-
edly 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 IL 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 Do
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.

IN HE SHRILL whistle Of the en-.
gine at the power plant at Ele-
phant, New Mexico, echoed and
re-echoed down the canyon on
a recent afternoon at four o'clock.
While the same whistle had made
similar music innumerable times be-
fore during the last five years, its toot-
ing that day had peculiar significance.
1t gave vociferous and prolonged no.
tiee that the last bucket of cement had
Just been placed in it's proper niche in
the parapet wall and the greatest
storage dam in the world had been
finished.
In two important essentials the Ele-
phant Butte dam ranks all other con.
crete masonry storage dams of the
American reclamation service, viz,
cubical contents and capacity of res
ervoir. In the latter particular it ranks
every other irrigation dam in the
world. When the floods of the Rio
Grande begin to drip over the spill
ways, the Elephant Butte reservoir
will contain two-thirds more water
than the combined storage of all the
reservoirs for Boston and New York.
There will be more water by one-third
than is impounded by the $19,OOO,OOO
Assuan dam in Egypt. Spread out,
the Elephant Butte storage would
cover Delaware more than two feet
deep. Confined in pipe four feet in
diameter, it would encircle the globe
seventy times. Expressed in layman's
measure, it will hold 865 billion gal
Ions.
The material in the dam if placed on
a city lot 25 by 125 would make a
solid block of concrete lacking only
so feet of being a mile high. Its
weight is more than 100000 tons.
Transported by rail, it would require
22,9O6 of the largest freight cars or a
train 217 miles long
In the dam are twelve openings or
passages, six for future power devel-
opment, four for delivery or irrigation
water, and two for sluicing purposes.
Reclaiming an Empire.
The Elephant Butte dam, while the
largest, is only one of the numerous
structures contemplated for the recla.
nation of the fertile empire which
lies below 1t in New Mexico and Texas.

Purple Martin
(Propne subis)

Length, ABOUT eight inches.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States and southern Canada,
south to central Mexico; winters in
South America.
Habits and economic status: This
is the largest as it is one Of the most
beautiful Of the swallow tribe. II
formerly built its nests in cavities
OF trees, as 1t still does in wild dis
tricts, but learning that man was a
friend it soon adopted domestic habits.
Its presence about the farm can often
be secured by erecting houses suit
able for nesting sites and protecting
them from usurpation by the English
sparrow, and every effort should be
made to increase the number Of colo
MES of this very useful bird The
boxes should be at a reasonable
height, say Is feet from the ground,
and made inaccessible to cats. A colo
ny Of these birds on a farm makes
great inroads upon the insect popu-
lation, as the birds not only them
selves feed upon insects but rear their
young upon the same diet. Fifty years
ago in New England it was not uncom-
mon to see colonies of so pairs of
martins, but most of them have now
vanished for no apparent reason ex-
cept that the martin houses have de-
cayed and have not been renewed.

Ants ProdlaIous Strength.

The strongest of animals in proper
ton to it's body weight is not the bull
or the elephant, but the humble and in
dustrious ant. This fact is striking
ly demonstrated by the recent obser-
walton of a Spanish entomologist. The
scientist saw an ant dragging dead
grasshopper over a gravel walk. He
picked up both insects and weighed
them on a pair of delicate balances.
He found that the body of the grass
hopper weighed more than 60 times as
much as that Of the ant. If man
were as strong in proportion to his
weight he could drag FIVE tons after
him. If medium-sized horse were
proportionately strong he could drag
two freight car loads of material over
rocky and irregular ground without
the help Of wheels.

A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell carload OF
hogs at the high price ofteleven cents
a pound, live weight. The sale was
made a short time ago at Calgary, and
at the time was a record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$1112B 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.
