OUT Of HOGS
On HIS Western Canadian Farm.

II Ii getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them q few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects. probably team
Of horses and COW or two, and sufi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds Of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, well
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
Of A. e. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
Lake, N. D. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that 1t is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
to take advantage Of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
Of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs 1t, too, Is:
II came to Alberta in the Spring Of
1909 from DEVILS Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head Of horses
and two head Of cattle and about
$500. Since then, / have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses.
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head Of hogs, four-roomed

provements. a feed grinder. elevator,

four times more since coming here.
From the feeding Of hogs during
the last year, had q gross return Of

II first started grain farming. but

that have not done 30 badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent In value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $S5
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
81 a quarter section yearly.
"The climate here Is better than Da-
kota In that we do not have 20 much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
"As for farming In general, the grow
ing and feeding Of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming. II con-
tinued year after year. and II every
farmer follows this he win be ahead
Of ths grain growers In the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,

Arms and Amor
Here from Japan
For Art Museum
DR.. Dean Brings Entire Coda
Collection and Many
Ancient Specimens

Lacquered masks, delicately chased
breastplates and helmets, swords of
exquisite workmanship and hundreds
of other bits of japanese armor have
been brought back to the United tSates
by DR.. Bashford Dean, curator of the
arms and armor at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. who has just retuned
from a trip to the fowery kingdom in
the interest of the museum.
Most important of the armor groups
is the famous Coda collection, which
he was fortunate enough to purchase
in its entirety at Kioto. Mr.. Coda,
who is now eighty-two years old, has
devoted the major part of his life to
enriching his store of ancient Japan
csc armor, chiefly of the sixteenth
century.
The Coda collection" DR.. Dean said
yesterday. includes examples of the
workmanship of many famous families
of sword decorators, notably the fam
ily of GOto. These are all genuine
specimens. This is noteworthy, since
in most cases objects which bear the
signatures and are fashioned in the

Retailers in New York City
Reaping Rich Profits in Food
arge Shipments Are Being Received and Wholesale Price,

but There Is no Decrease in Cost to the Housewife

1t is still win,ery and wariiSe IN
New York so far as food prices are
concerned.
The early crops are being harvested
throughout the country, and large con-
signments are being shipped daily TO
this city over all available trade
routes. but the constantly increasing
Supply OF fresh vegetables, butter and
eggs. with other table necessities, is
not being reflected in prices at the cor
ner grocery The country. for the time
being, is well off in the matter of edi-
bles. The New York housewife is little
better off than she was last winter or
early last spring.
The wholesale market in New York
has been sagging under the large re-
ceipts of food, but some power sand
wiched in between wholesaler, commits
sion broker and retail merchant is keep
ing a stiff rein on retail prices

in groceries catering to a middle class
trade for 10 cents a bunch-a small

carrots. The wholesale price of carrots
Yesterday was 81 10 81 per 100 punches;
Al this rate the grocer receives $40
from the consumers for the stock which

market reports yesterday stated that
the receipts of carrots were liberal, al

Germany to Exchange
Necessities with U. S.
Trading with Enemy Act Will
Not Effect Absolute Stop
page of Barter

Washington, June 9.-Neither en-
bargoes nor enforcement OF the trading
with the enemy act will effect an alb
solute stoppage of commercial inter
course between the United States and
Germany, it was suthoritatively stated
to-day.
There were said to be several articles
for which America is dependent upon
Germany, such as needles for knitting
mills, dyestufrs. etc. There will be pur-
chased in territory contiguous to Ger
many. Q
In order TO obtain these near neces,
sites. Germany, it was stated, would
obtain some articles from the United
States, probably through the country
from which America will obtain GER
tain German goods. The country TO be
thus specially favored. it was thought
to-day. will be Denmark, which already
IS specially favored by England, France
and Germany.
Danish ships carry on regular trade
between Denmark and England, and
they are not molested by German sub
marines. Denmark at the same time
trades with Germany, with the knowl-
edge and assent of Great Britain.
