Page 3) I Page 3 MAGRATH STORE NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 5/39 Mr. & Mrs. Eldon Christensen - sont’d Mrs. Williams, proprietress, was on business to Calgary. Few cars or vehicles had been over the trail this spring. It is a high and winding road and one would never find the farm without a guide. Where the buildings are, was once a strawberry and rhubarb field. The chinchilla barn is a three-storey building open on the east, WoTen wire fence encloses the runways. They are in pairs and very uniform in size. In oolor they are a heavenly blue, a very fine fur with a rich bloom. Chinchillas, like foxes, thrive better in Canada than they do to the south of us. The climate here seems conducive to the making of excellent pelts. No fur is pulled or nest made for the young; they are born on a bare floor. A protected electric cone heater warms the box and here the $1600.00 babies first see the light of day. April and May are the anxious months at the ranch, being the months of most of the.new arrivals. Boy chinchillas do not receive as warm a welcome as do their sisters. To the west and above the building is a 5-acre field under fence for beaver. Last winter some escaped when the drifts oovered the woven-wire fence. These, they say, would return in August, but there would be difficulty in getting them back into the enclosure. To the north near Mountain View the Williams own a rat farm. About half a mile to the east and below the farm is an opening in the woods and 5 mule deer were feeding peacefully, having come through the winter in excellent shape. The residence is of logs, newly cut and peeled. Large windows in the south allow sunshine for an array of beautiful flowers now in bloom, while both corners hold canaries, love birds, parrots, etc. On the hardwood floor before a large fireplace were mounted bear skins, one a large grey grizzly killed in the garden last fall. A delegation in July of chinchilla breeders from the U, S. is one of the coming events at the ranch. ———— --- - M — ———— MENU Have you seen the new classy two-tone Jackets?

Where people sit with frozen toes And why we stay here no one know. Our pigs are dying on their feet, Because they have no feed to eat; Our horses though of broncho race, Starvation stares them in the face. The milk from cows has ceased to flow, We had to ship them East you know; Our hens are old and lay no eggs, our turkeys eat grasshopper legs. And still we love Saskatchewan, And proud to say we’re native ones. So count your blessings drop by drop For thirty nine’s our bumper crop. SPECIALS Fresh Hamburger 8/#. .
