MADE $4,000
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

r. is 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 q cow or two, and SUM-
cient money to do them for a re"
months, until they got start. Hun
dreds of such can be pointed OUT VINO
today have splendid homes, "en
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 lana
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, ana
he signs it, too, is:
81 came to Alberta in the Spring OF
1909 from4Devil's Lake, North Dakota
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head Of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$1,000. Sinte then, I have increased
nv 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 i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. 1 have In
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
''From the feeding of hogs during
the last year, I had gross return of
$4,000.
II 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 $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 quarter section yearly.
''The climate here is better than Da-
Nv
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 If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
Of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
1 feel satisfied with my success In
Alberta" e.

Japs Entertain American Red Cross
 Mission

TOKYO Cordiality and sympathy marked the luncheon given by the Japan Red Cross society to the American Red Cross Mission which was on it's way to Russia.
 The American Mission of which Dr. Frank Billings is chairman, was met on it's arrival in Japan by large delegation of Japanese workers in- cluding Baron Ishiguro, the president of the society and other officers.
 Baron Ishiguro made an interesting address at the luncheon. He voiced Japanese appreciation of the warmth of the reception accorded in the United States to Japanese Red Cross mission on their way to Europe and added; "The emblem of the Red Cross has wiped out all the boundries of state as well as the distinction of races. Cooperation in this human work, as a matter of nature, cannot be otherwise than in deep sympathy with each other. l feel, therefore, as if l met old friends here today"

New Scheme To Damage Germans
Associated Press Correspondence

PARIS,-It might have been thought that nothing new remained to be attempted in aerial warfare but the French aviation authorities are considering an ldea, first suggested by the celebrated pilot, Verdnes of throwing seeds of that troublesome weed, couch grass, Qlnown to far mers as squitch or quitch) over the cultivated land in Cermany.
 It is asserted that it would be al easy matter for an aeroplane to carry 500 pounds of the seed and let it fall on fields where corn, beet, or potatoes, are planted and that. if supply IS not available, scientists would no, take long to raise it Tn sutf,cient quantity to send q thousand of the aeroplanes which France is expecting at an early date from the United States, over Germanys crops.
 The possibility of dropping seeds of some rapidly growing form of mush- room fungus or even germs of phyl- loxera is also under consideration.

CATTLE IN STAMPEDE.
Common Western Range Incident
Has Counterpart on Farms
Near LenoX.

Lenox, Jan. 29.-An unusual and
exciting event occurred Saturday
night near Lenox when three herds
of cattle were mysteriously STAN
peded.
The largest herd, consisting of
about 100 head, belonged to Sam
Key and the other two herds, which
were smaller, belonged to Charles
Lewis and William Golden. 1t was
not known what caused the cattle to
stampede unless it was the storm or
the condition of the atmosphere.
The herds were widely separated,
one being on the east side of town
and the other two on the west side.
The cattle of Sam Key were most
ly found Sunday, some of them as
far as twenty miles. The other two
herds were found nearer home. The
cattle of all three herds went thru
every fence that they came to, no
matter how strongly built it was.
