Twenty-one weeks is the time reckoned for ewes 

 to carry their young from conception to lambing 

 time. 



In conclusion, I should like to heartily wish all 

 readers who decide to embark in stock-raising 

 in the great Canadian West — that which they will 

 learn to appreciate more than aU else the longer 

 they live on the vast health-giving prairie — ^the best 

 of good luck.
