Wow, a newspaper link is always a good thing. I will follow up on agsedm.edmonton.ab site. I suppose that growing grain and raising cattle would depend on the terrain. Fortunately, our outhouses in the 'old country' were attached to the outside of the house and we did not have such things as catalogues [Sears, Eatons or any other], but used newspaper - each page quartered. Must have been a labour of love! Cheers June
