Western cattle- men claim they can buy a of yearlings in Ontario easier than they can pick up a. carload among the farmers of Manitoba, Therefore the western- live stock interests rely stronglx upon Ontario 'asllfthe "source If Ontario manufacturers are inter- ested in the great problem of reduc- lng the Northwest grain supply to flour, the farmers and stock growers of the province are equally interested in supplying breeding animals here. This is an aspect of the west’s deve- -lopment that appeals in'stantly' to the casual observerâ€"the close con- nection between the two extremes of the, Dominion. Toronto is 2,000 ,miles away, a week‘s journey by” express train, and yet the interests of Ontario and her metropolis are so closely identified with the pro- gress of this section that thousands of telegrams pass daily in business transactious. l‘robably more direct is the interest of the rural districts of the two in the live stock indusâ€" try, though a delayed express brought in 38 traveling men to Regina Tuesday morning, represent- ing the manufacturers of Ontario. Live Stock Interchange. While the wheat of the west is rushed through to seaports as fast as transportation permits, there is a curious exchange in the “‘70 stock re- lations of the West and the cast. These ranchers must bring their young. stock and their blooded breeding animals from Ontario. :This is the season when many trainloads of yearlings, purchased from the farmers and dairymen from that part of Canada, are being brought into these remote sections. A year- ling that markets for $15 around Newmarket commands $21 'to $22.50 when landed between Calgary and Regina. The animal is turned out on the range to be exported two years later at $40 or $45 per head. This grass-fed Stock is turned back through Ontario fat and juicy, ready ‘ for stall-fed finishing at the silos o: 1 the farmers ofWEastern Canada, or sent direct to .tidewatcr. Thus the 1 exchange of~ interests continues con- stantly between the producers of the -Afih‘L V ' ’0 “““““““ J as the “granary of the Empire." But the great west has a surplus of ‘ other things besides wheat and fig- ures of speech. The exploitation of Canada’s wheat lands is the best. known feature of the western deve- lopment, but ’tis written that man shall not live by bread alone. The lee Stock Region; .From Regina, where the wheat grows thin and disappears, to Cal- gary, is 500 miles. The subsoil un- dergoes a change and wild grass is abundant. This rolling country, 500 miles square, extending to the foot- hills of the Rockies, is the live stock region of British America. This is the region that is destined to supply the Empire with the red beef it con- sumes, with its cavalry and its draft horses, to say nothing of mutton and wool. The extent of the proâ€" gress in this direction has been par- tially overshadowed by the tremenm dous grain production further east, 1 but conditions are approaching that will force orators to coin a new phrase to fitly ‘describe this new con- tribution to Brisish foodstufl's. kno “mmughthatWM‘nh u: nighttdm “”1” symp'm mpitat once- 7 convey a. vague idea of the material. Canada is adding annually to the sum of the Empire’s wealth; The bulk of this is grown north of the 50th parallel, a portion of the earth long declared by scientific minds to be worthless for the production of human food.‘ And yet the grain- growing resources of the west have scarcely been touched. The fringe has merely been raked wever. This is the territory famed in song and story as the “granary of the Empire." But the great west has a surplus of -A‘_ A I» moo-m1; 1% mm Writin‘ from Begin...

It is 350 miles fromn‘Winni. peg, Throughout its length and for 200 miles north and half the dis- tance south stretches that section that has made the Dominion famous for the grain it subplies the world. Last year there were 1,015,870 acres cultivated in this Vast tabléland. Frqm here came the 110,000,000 bushels of grain last year, valued at $55,000,000. In 1902 the product of these immense farms reached 100,- 000,000 bushels, with an aggregate value of $44,000,000.

He long since aban- doned wheat growing for the more lucrative cattle business, as many Manitoba farmers are doing. Herd: Are Superior. The careful breeding of Canadian ranchers has resulted in herds much superior to those of the States and much annoyance is occasionally caus- ed by scruhs wandering north over_ the line where the succulent grass abounds and mixing with the bloodâ€" ed stock. _ ‘ _ ._...

Clydesdales seem to have the call, and ranchers syndicate and invest an much as $2,000 and $3,000 for'the splendid stallions. James Smith, manager of the Galbraith stables at Brandon, told me he sold last year 63 of these blooded animals, and this year has already dhposed of 35. While there are many cayilscs in the range coun- try the $75 valuation placed upon all horses by the new customs rul- ing is hailed by the admirers of fine stock in the west as the doom of the little stufl in the way of horse flesh the Yankees have been; flooding the west with. ‘ ‘ ~ - - 'Ii‘m- To-day there is a heavy supply of marketable cattle in this region. Fred McCown, one of the extensive stock owners of the west, told me he thought the presence of the unusual quantity was due to the sudden drop in the price the latter part of June. 1903. He thought ranchers had con- cluded it was more profitable to let the stock run on the range than sell below $3.50. At Maple Creek last year, after the drop, $2.96 was the best offer, live weight, weighed in at Winnipeg. This made the rancher stand loss of shrinkage, but it is the custom of the country to sell, sub- ject to weight at Winnipeg. As the grain of the west has no fixed value until graded at Winnipeg, so live stock values are determined at that industrial centre. Mr. McCown said he had toâ€"day 500 steers he refused $4.50 for last week. That means $5.50 on the Toronto market. With hay at $18 per ton at‘Wi'n‘nipeg he says live stock must‘advance in spite of the excessive supply. As Indian Head, a village on the 0.21%.. is the greatest initial grain whipping point in ‘the world. so Maple Creek, 600 miles further west. 0. whistling station on the Trans- COntinental Line, holds a similar place for live stock shipments. This town, so-called by the courtesy and dignity it enjoys from having four stores, is 'one of the big forces in the live stock industry of the west. Whole trains of cattle go out of this place in season through Eastern Canada direct « for export, and the remote village, noticed upon the map by a. black spot so small as to re- quire much search to locate, is one of the initial cattle shipping points that aflect the world’s food supply.

There is a story of a tiny blaze in the conzlagration of last Tuesday night which. though fraught with considerable consequences, has not yet been told. The blaze was not as large as would come from an average size match, but it singed a certain nose, it handicapped the posersao! ex- pression of a~certain bookkeeper (of some months to come, and it caused the loss of a valuable ledger. To un- derstand the actions of the principal actor in this more or less tragic event, it should be told that Mr. (let us call him McLip for convenience sake)â€"-it should be known that Mr. McLip had a moustache which was the pride of his life. Besides being considered by himself, and perhaps one other, an ornament, it Was a useful appendage. McLip was natur- ally a. man of few words, and he used this moustache to give expies- sion to his varying moods. Did he wish to appear impressed he pulled it gently. A violent tug meant anger or indignation. Indifference was por- trayed by a twirl, and contempt by a raising of the points. It was valuâ€" able, too, in another way, for when McLip wished to feel dressed he simp- ly waxed the points. on the street or some public place where with clear vision and unham- pered thought a man does not know if I am myself or some one else.
