Here's a tip to use in your battle with H. C. L. Cheese it. Not in a slangy sense, but literally. We have had meatless, wheatless and otherless days prescribed. We have been urged to eat corn and fish to save wheat and meat. Why has no one urped the use of more cheese? In food value cheese is the equal of most meats and superior of many. It is far less expensive and can be cooked in many ways to make it a staple food. Potatoes, rice, macaroni, hominy and other cereals baked "au gratin" provide dishes whose richness dispense with a meat accompaniment. Europeans have long used cheese in lieu of meats. In many sections of Europe cheese is served at all meals, the cheese dish being as indispensable as our butter dish. There the whole cheese is placed on the table and slices are cut as wanted. This is much more economical than our habit of serving it in bits.
From where are we to get more cheese when none is being imported from Europe, and we now consume all that our American dairies are manufacturing? Why, from our neighbor Canada, of course. For the production of good milk, and hence good cheese, no country in the world is better adapted than Canada. Its prairie provinces occupy the same latitude as do the famous cheesemaking countries of Europe. The climatic and atmospheric conditions throughout the whole of Western Canada are ideal for the raising of live stock. It is unsurpassed for grazing purposes, being for centuries the home of countless thousands of buffaloes. These were displaced by the great herds of Cattle Barons. What was good for beef cattle is good for dairy cattle and Canadian dairymen are proving this. If it is cesired to supplant grazing with otner feed, Canada's rich virgin prairies yield maximum harvests at minimum cost 1
Canada's output of cheese is gwc up by leaps and bounds. Manitoba! and Alberta each put on the market', a million pounds in 1916. Canadian; butter has a great reputation, due t the splendid system of grading; which insures a standard quality t- 1 the consumer. . Canadian cheese is gaining this same high reputation..? because the same system of gradind governs it3 marketing.- The demandis taxing the output and more and more farmers are turning their aH ' tention to dairy cattle. Dairying 1 Associations and good railroad transportation combine to bring big returns into the dairy farmers' pockets. There is still much good grazing land to be had at low prices and dairy stock of all breeds is available at the various Canadian Government Experimental Farms and the Canadian Pacific Demonstration Farm. . For the man who wants to get into the Cheese Game, now is the timo and Western Canada is the place.
