This display inâ€" cludes Buffalo Hides, Buffalo Robes, Buffalo Coats (some of them beautiâ€" ful samples for ladies‘ wear) and alâ€" so large displays of Pemmican. The exhibits here were in charge of Mr. Robert A. Lawe, of the Canadian National Parks Branch of the Depart ment of the Interior, Ottawa. _ Mr. Lawe is touring the country, visiting the prineipal towns and cities to let the public know about Canada‘s wealth of Buffaloes. The Buffalo exâ€" hibits are from Canada‘s National Buffalo Park at Wainwright, Alberta. In 1907 the Canadian Government secured the nucleus of a Buffalo herd and established it near Wainwright on some 158 square miles set apart for the purpose and known as Buffalo Park. The buffaloes have increased at a remarkable rate until toâ€"day they comprised the largest herd of buffaâ€" loes in the world. During the fall of 1923 it was found imperative to slaughter about 1850 head of the buffaloes at Buffalo Park. From these slaughtered animals come the robes, hides, coats, ete., and the Pemmican on display. _ One of the hides here is a very large specimen, nine feet by seven. T‘wo of the ladies‘ coats shown are attractive and charming specimens of "‘fur coats."" Pemmican is the oldest form of preserved meat of which mention is made in the history of this continent. The process of manufacture, as introâ€" duced by the [n(h(ms, and ('(mtmued toâ€"day, consists in cutting the buffalo meat into strips, allowing it to dry Mr, Lawe was ready to give all sorts of interesting information relaâ€" tive to Buffaloes and Peramican. An ordinary Buffalo coat, he said, would weigh around tweive pounds. It would outwear the ordinary fur coat and in addition was warmer and betâ€" ter. Mr,. Lawe distributed booklets giving a number of appetizing recipes for the cooking of Pemmican. Beautiful Buffalo Coats. Pemmican Also on Display. From Canadian National Park. and then flaying it until the fibre separates. Melted fat is then added to the dried meat and the whole placed in oilâ€"tanned leather sacks and permitted to cool. When cooling is completed, a hard, compact mass is formed. A lady in town who enjoyâ€" ed Pemmican in the far West many years ago was so delighted last week to know the delicacy was obtainable at the Hollinger Stores that she askâ€" ed her son to purchase 50 lbs. for the winter. Pemmican is now being made in a Government factory at Edmonâ€" ton. Pemmican will keep for years, if it is not allowed to become wet. On pound of Pemmican equals four pounds of ordinary meat. of Connaught. Horace Laidlaw won the attendance prize.
