acknowledgements has the most un-

as $50 men at the Allen tannery
struck for an insurance on prosperity.
They went out, making demand
upon the managers for a new scale
providing increased wages for all the
men. This was granted after a short
parley and the men returned to work.
The next morning they went out
again, demanding that the company
agree to put hides enough into the
watts to insure the payment of the in
creased wage for long period in ad-
vance. This the company refused to
do. holding that they could not take a
chance on future business that such a
course would demand.

FARMERS GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
Demand for Canadian Cattle
After the War.

The opportunities that Western Can
ada offers to the farmer have time and
again been placed before the public
through these columns. The cheap
price at which the very best lands can
be purchased, and the advantage that
is to be had in securing one of the free
homesteads of 100 acres has appealed
to a great many. and they have en-
braced them. Many, in fact most OF
those who have done so are today Civ
Ing testimony to the good fortune and
the timely forethought that led them
to go to Western Canada, and embark
in an era of farming that has placed
them away beyond the pinch of want
and given them reason to look into the
future with hopefulness that they
had not had the courage in the past to
forecast
Not only have they been able to Sc.
cure good lands at low prices and on
easy terms but if they desire they
have been able to add to this 100 acres
of land free, on conditions that are
easy. A resident in the Lloydminster
district in Saskatchewan who had
been farming in the States for some
time, took up homestead in 1910, and
commenced breaking with oxen.
Two years ago he bought an adjoin-
ing quarter section and now has over
100 acres under cultivation. He says,
AS my circumstances improved, sold
the oxen and now have six head of
horses, twelve head of cattle. and have
always bunch of hogs on hand.
"On an average have had Yields OF
rs bushels of wheat, 65 bushels Of oats
and 40 bushels of barley to the acre
end last season from held of 2S1a
acres, | threshed 1,040 bushels OF
wheat. I have made a success II
mixed farming and would have no hest
tation in advising all who contemplate
making a new home to come to this
district. | sell cream to the Govern
ment Creamery here, and find at all
times a good market for live stock and
other produce"
This is but a modest statement OF
what a modest man can do in Western
Canada. and could be repeated of hun
dreds of others.
Scores of cases could be recited
where much more has been accom-
plished, and 1t is believed that with
moderate investment at the present
time, the cattle industry of Western
Canada will pay large interest
The Minister of Agriculture of Sas-
katchewan, in recent address, ven.
tured the prediction that the Sas-
katchewan farmer who developed his
land along the lines of general stock
breeding would make much more mon
ey and find far bigger return for his
efforts in ten years time than the
man who devoted his energies purely
and primarily to grain raising. This
was the coming golden age of oppor.
tunitv for the stockman and it was up
to the Saskatchewan man to get in
on the ground floor and prepare him.
self for the coming demand.
The close of the war would undoubt-
eddy see a great demand for live stock
in Europe and it was only reasonable
to suppose that this demand would
have to be filled almost wholly by
American stockmen, both in Canada
and the United States. Europe was
slowly draining its rural districts not
only of its beef and dairy animals but
