Heninger Is a large sheep owner in Southern Alberta, and on his three largo ranches, knows es the Coulee Ranch, King's Lake Ranob, and Ilay Lake -Ranch, located southeast of Lethbridge, be has clearly demon- strated what can be done by .personal application anal assiduity coupled with. Alberta climate and fodder, Mr. Hett- inger matte a most inalgnifleant be- ginning, the early chapters of his life history having mob in common with the modest conin,cnnCein0nt3- which have developer] into ranching for- tunes in the west. I'.ut sheep have a why 0f increasing, and the size of the herd, which at the prevent time - ranges the bilis and coulees of the three ranches, may lie estimated Iroise the fact that last spring it was in- creased by the additio . of seven thousand lambs, and. that the wool clip harvested nnhaunted to about 136,000 pounds. The Blighty Wagon, All sheep breeders and fanners - know that there is a tremendous morn tality among lambs iu the first few hours of their existence. and this rancher's motto has boon, "'Parc the lambs and the sheep will take ram of themselves." 'Upon this policy be has built up the herd he now owns. A visitor to the ranches in the spring tirne nilglit be somewhat startled to see an ambulance's mad antics as 1t pursues a rough and furl.hus way over hill and down coulee. An 'ambulance in tiro undiluted "wild and woolly" is a somewhat unusual spectacle, but this same "biighty wagon," as soldiers were wont to call it, has saved the lives of hundreds of lambs each sea- son. The ambulance is mounted on a Ford truck, and the interior is fitted out with ten pens, five on each side. It rambles over the countryside at lambing time and, picking up the ewes with new•horn lambs. Journeys with them in the snug little pens to the sheltering fold. Here the couples are placed in other comfortable peas, the ewe fed on oats and hay, and the lamb, 1t found to bo cold, placed be- tween blankets. Then, when the sun comes out and the lamb has recuper- ated a little strength, the ewe and its woolly offspring are turned out to graze upon the fresh green grass of the adjacent pastures. When lambs aro being born loo quickly to be all accommodated by .rho motor ambul- ance, horse-drawn ranch vehicles are. pressed into service. Just what value this system of ensuring the life of the lamb Is to the rancher may be judged from the tact that in stormy springs, when other sheep ranchers have had a heavy toll of their newly born lambs, Mr. IIeninger claims to have come through without the loss of a single animal. The ranch houses are in tune with 1 tbe progressive modernity of the ranch methods, all buildings, both fat the rancher's family and his helpers being electrically heated and supplied with running water furnished by a storage cistern.

"Why, he's got no hair, father," was his first remark. The fact was admitted, "And he's got no teeth, father," was the next comment. The circumstance could not be denied. "I tell you what, father," was• the final observation, "you've been swind- led; he's an old 'un!" Minard'a Liniment Relieves Colds, ata Recipes and Suggestions for Between Seasons.
