The development of the ranehing industry in the Northwest has been so nnostentatious that few, have aiij just idea of the extent to which it has attained. Lithe grazing region aronatl Calgary the number of animals owned by the various firms there aggregate 76,000 cattle, 10,000 horses and 18» 800 sheep, ef the value of $8.781,000.. The yearly increase among the cattle is computed at 25,000 or 80,000 will be brought m during the summer, so- that the end of this year will probably raise the aggregate in that district to 125,000. Sheep raising so far haa given fairly satisfactory results, though some ranchmen complain that sheep graze so closely^ as to desti;oy the roots of the prauie grass and injure^ the runs. This annoyance can be avoided by the employment of compet- ent and jadieious shepherde who know when to move their flocks. Th» ranching industry, at its preieot rate of increase, will lu a few years make Calgary the Ealkirk of the Dominion. â-  mm I Bttbi-Decanai.
