Caifjary "Stock Yards'
The effects of the increased production campaign in Western Canada are already noticeable. All over the country farmers are enlarging and improving their herds, while many others, desiring to emulate their success, are entering mixed farming in earnest. Besides feeling it a patriotic duty to produce as much food as possble, more and more farmers are finding that mixed farming pays. Of course,, this is not a new realization. The most successful farme- of the West are those who have c.ided their attentions between grain growing and live stock
raising, but the possibilities of quick returns with the former have blinded many to: tho advantages of the latter. The movement of pure bred stock to Western Canada is going on continually from day to day, from week to week. Today it is Aberdeen-Angus and Shorthorns, yesterday it was Jerseys and flerefords; last week all these and otl-er breeds as well. One day dairy cattle predominate, another day beef cattle, and another dual purpose animals. They are brought from Eastern Canada, from all parts of the States,
from England and Scotland and even from other parts of Europe. Already possessing some of the largest and most valuable herds of particular breeds of cattle, the Western Provinces of Canada bid fair to become one of tLe greatest cattle countries in the world. They have every advantage for the raising of cattle economically healthy climate, low priced lands on which grov nourishing foods, an abundance ' of clear water, convenient markets, etc. And. what is more important; these advantages are beginning to be fully recognized by the settler.
