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

It is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many OF
them a few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
Of horses and COW or two, and suffi-
cient money to do them for a few
months, until they got a 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 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 to hundreds
Of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, 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
$780, Since then, I have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head Of cattle, and about one hun
5red head Of hogs, a four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. I 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 a gross return of
$1,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years I have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that I 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 $50
per acre, with nominal taxes Of about
$27 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.
GAS 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,
| feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta"
(Sgd) A. E. MERRIAM.
Dalroy, Alberta, Jan. 18th, 1917;
There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor in Western Canada dur
Ing the early spring, and, in fact, all
season until November, and the high
est wages will be paid. There is an
absolute guarantee by the Canadian
Government that those who 20 to

Der Of Commerce In Preparing a
Schedule Of the Arrival and
Departure Of Motor
Trucks.

The Trade Extension Division of the
Chamber of Commerce is very well
pleased with the manner In which the
service station for motor truck pack
ages, recently established, as an ex-
pertinent, is progressing.
The station has been temporarily es-
tablished at the Chamber of Com
merce in order to have some practical
experience on which to formulate
plans on a scale commensurate with
the problem of handling out Of town
trade. The Committee is carefully
watching the operation of the scheme
and very valuable information and
data in regard to our retail trade Is
being compiled therefrom Whereas
before 1t has been necessary for mer-
chants who desired to send small
packages out on the motor trucks to
send these packages out by clerks
who spend thirty minutes or an hour
searching the town for the truck,
which they some times find but in a
great many cases find that the truck
has already departed, they now send
these small packages, as soon as ready
to the Chamber Of Commerce where
they are Systematically handled and
delivered to the truck drivers, all OF
whom call by the Chamber of Com
merce for this purpose just before
leaving the city. This is a great con.
venience which the merchants in the
Chamber of Commerce are taking ad.
vantage of.
The matter of handling passengers
is quite large problem as there is al
present no waiting room for them, the
best that can be done until a plan is
perfected is for the merchants to no
tify passengers and others who desire
to go out of the hours of departure o.
the motor trucks.

GERMAN ARMY AND NAVY ANX-
IOUS FOR WAR WITH U. S.

Berne, Switzerland, Feb. 13.-Ger-
many's public and Officialdom do not
believe entrance of America into the
war would have the slightest effect
on the outcome.
AS a matter of fact, Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg believes with pre-
paratiOns now under way the war
will be won by Germany before
America could enter-if she does
enter.
When Ambassador Gerard and his
party left Berlin, orders had been is
sued by the Germany military au-
thorities cancelling all vacations of
army officers and men for the month
of February.
That move developed the infoTma-
ton that Won Hindenburg was
awaiting the opportune moment for
the great, final effort of Germany's
forces.
Though the German army and
navy is prepared-and anxious-fOr
war with America, German newspa-
pers have been urging Americans to
work for peace, and have been be-
seeching the German admiralty not
to torpedo ships carrying American
passengers. Their efforts, however,
do not appear to be successful.
