A farmer of Monarch, Alberta,
claims the distinction of being the first
in the province to sell a 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 record, although
prices have since gone as high as
$11f2k 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

climate free from diseases of stock.

never knew they had heart until
they are conscious of its loss. It is a
grand mistake for man who has no
matrimonial intentions to fiatter girl
who takes his compliments seriously.
When he drifts away from her he takes
away with him all the sunshine Of her
life. She believes in him, she has
faith that he will return to her despite
the fact that she never more sees or
hears from him. She wears her heart
and life out waiting patiently for him.
That is one Of the cases which
commands our pity. even while we feel
like scolding the poor creature for her
want of good, common sense. She
could not fully grasp the truth of the
words, ITO love and not be loved is
time lost though they hung constant
