WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in a highly
fourishing condition and is bound In
very short time to become much
more important. The war has created
a great demand for that article, and
it's use abroad has given it 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, having used it, is quick to ap-
preciate its value. This means that
after the war there will be demand
created for 1t 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 e.
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt-
eddy be- maintained this season. West
crn 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
tor 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 great thing for
the industry, especially when COM

such as exist on the long slopes from
the Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may bo
