Davey, M.D., ot Hamilton, Out., arrived home from the front with a la.ge party of returned officers and men on Friday. He had been at the front witu ♦.he krtuj Medical Corps for nearly three years, and in an interview made the statement that he thought the people could look for three years more of war. He regards the aKies »8 now being on the defensive because of the Russians :ind tho Italian defeat, but says they can win if they will put eveiy ounce of enerey and resourse into the fight. Col. Davey savs the Canadian people do not realizo the pinch of war Sg do the people of England and France, Slid that they should save ev?ry particle of food and leave as much as possible for the allies' use overseas.

An abun danve of suitable food of all kinds is .available all over the country, while climatic and other conditions are ex ceedlngly favorable. Almost any line of sheep husbandry may be followed 'successfully in the Prairie Provinws 'ot Canada. On the range sheep 'breeding and rearing is an extremel.v Iprofltable Industry, especially in those districts where conditions are not â- well suited to ordinary agriculture. That tha farmer Is more and more realizing the value of a small flock of sheep on his farm is shown by the in- creasing number of participants at the co-operative wool sales each year. Throughout the west this has been noticed at practicallly all the sales. In some eases, notably at Calgary, i Alberta, there has l>een a greater number ot participants^ and less wool offering than last year, but this is due to the fact that the larger breed- ers have been Induced to sell their wool independently, so that practi- ijcally all the wool offered for sale Icame from small farmers, who are obtaining as big returns In this line 1 |as in any other. At other places there ha« been an Increase, both in the number of participants and in the quality of the wool offered. It seems safe to say that within a few years the whole world will be ' looking to Western Canada, and es- pecially to Alberta, for high class sheep. Tho prices now being obtain- «h1 for wool by those who were fore- sighted enough to go in for siieop rearing, either on a large or a small .scale, has opened the eyes of farmers (1) On an Alberta sheep ranch.
