CARIBOU RIB(n' OI31EY INii'IINCTP. Trek Back North Where They Raise 'Melt. Young. In May vast herds of Caribou leave the sheltered woodlands south of Cho retail river in Northern Canada, in obedience to their wonderful in- stinct, moving unerringly for their northern feeding grounds. Every spring the herds trek back north 1,000 miles to the plains, where a steady wind sweeps the high ground around the tundra nay in and day out in the summer, warding off black flies and mosquitoes which pester life in the low wooded volleys. In the misty north the caribou find no civilization to interfere with their breeding and the carp or their young, and they feed on the thick, velvety moss. Their journey north is a sign of spring.. Then when • frost threatens the thick moss the caribou turn ;outfit again, wandering in a leisurely way to the valleys where they can browse throughout the winter, Soon Canadian railroads will creep upon the rims of the 'wide caribou pastures, threatening the herds with extinction. Already the caribou are fewer by perhapsa tnillinn than thirty years ago. Like the buffalo, they are doomed when man conquers the extensive tundra of the Far Northwest unless protection is elven them. If their feeding grounds weer' pre- served so that caribou might !Ivo naturally and propagate, the animals would provide a valuable supply of meat, it is saki, and this w:uld be the most prr,ti1 ti le use 1.o which the millions of acre.+ Of oto..:,-cnvea•ed tun- dra could be put.

He was the only two- year-old winning double champion - •!:tips in Scotland this year, being champion at the Royal Show, New- port, Scotland, and champion at the Kilmarnock Show. This stallion will t -o brink to Scotland for breeding Purposes. Mr, McCallum's up-to-date method of engaging in the horse -buying in- dustry is borne out by the fact that he does considerable travelling by air, and he recounts many exciting inci- dents when forced landings were made on account of fogs and stormy weather. Ibis systematic tours of rural districts in England, Scotland. and Europe are done, however, by motor during the summer months.
