brought from Alberta. Canadian

ment Farm Mr. G. W. Gasser has six
“Galoyak” to his credit, five of them
half ytik and one three-quarters yak.

meat will be good because the Gailo- '
way is rated <.moag beef cattle for ex
cellence of meat. Tne dispatch from
Alberta follows:
“The-new breed of live stock called
‘yakalos’ is being developed in the na
tional park at Wainwright by the
crossing of buffalos with yaks.
“ ‘Yakalos’ -combine the most pro
ducing qualities of the yak with the
foraging ■ characteristics of the buf
talo, said G. B. Kothweli director of
the animal husbandry division of the
department of agriculture. The new
animals breed true to type, he said,
and have proved more adaptable than
‘cattalo,’ evolved several years ago by
crossing buffalos with d* naestic.cattle.
Cattalos are starile
The meat of yakalos is described as
almost identical with beef, aside from
being finer grained. The animals are
hardy, can forage for themselves, are
capable of wintering in the open, and
are resistant to many of the common
diseases of domestic cattle."
