MADE $1,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting TO be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Cansdian
farmers have made money. Many Of
them few years ago, came 10 the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably a team
Of horses and a COW or two, and suffi-
Client 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. f. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
Lake, y. ID. 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 it 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 10 hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mir. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs It, too, is:
Il came to Alberta in the Spring of
1909 from DEVILS Lake. North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
Il arrived with six head Of horses
and two head of cattle and about
81 500. 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
house, good barn with all modern inn
provements, a feed grinder. elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. | have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, l had gross return of
$1,000
Il first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years. now selling for from $50 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
SGT a quarter section yearly
The climate here is better than Da-
kota in that we do not have so 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, if con-
tinued year after year, and II every
farmer follows this he will he ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,

During a discussion in the Swedish

insurance Baron Adelswaerd, former
minister of finance. questioned Pre-
mie4' Hammerskjold in regard TO the
action of the war insurance commit
tee in refusing to issue policies on car

large number of risks after February
6 in the cases of cargoes of foodstuffs,
coal or other articles of vital impor-
lance. The premier repudiated the in
situation that Sweden was showing
more regard for one belligerent than
another. The premier also refused
to accept criticism of the governments

piciOn over the intentions Of Sweden
and certain other countries in regard
TO their neutrality. Admiral Lindman.
