A COUNTRY WHOSE SOIL SPELLS WHEAT

And Out or Whose Farms Thousands Are Growing Rich Yhat President Taft and Others Think About Canada Another Fat Year for the Canadian West Our Canadian neighbors to the north are again rejoicing over an abundant harvest, and reports from reliable sources go to show that the total yield of 1903 will he far above that of any other year. It Is estimated that $100.000,000 will this year go into the pockets of the western farmers from wheat alone, another $00,000,000 fro:a oats and barley, while returns from other crops and from stock will add $40,000,000 more. Is it any wonder then that the farmers of the Canadian West are happy? Thousands of American farmers have settled in the above mentioned provinces during the past year; men who know the West and its possibilities, and who also know, perhaps better than any other people, the best methods for profitable farming. 1'resident Taft said recently, in speaking of Canada: We have been going ahead so rapidly in our own country that our heads have been somewhat swelled with the idea that we are carrying on our shoulders all the progress there is in the world. We have not been conscious that there is on the north a young country and a young nation that is looking forward, as it well may, to a great national future. They have 7,000,000 people, but the country Is still hardly scratched." James J. Hill, speaking before the Canadian Club of Winnipeg a few däya ago, said: "I go back for 53 years, when I came west from Canada. At that time Canada had no Northwest. A young boy or man who desired to carve his own way had to cross the line, and today it may surprise you one out of every five children born in Canada lives in the United States. Now you are playing the return match, and the Northwest is getting people from the United States very rapidly. We brought 1C0 land-seekers, mainly from Iowa and Southern Minnesota, last night, out of St. Paul, going to the Northwest. Now, these people , have all the way from fire, ten to twenty thousand dollars each, and thej will make as much progress on the land in one year as any one man coming from the Continent of Europe can make, doing the best he can do, In ten, fifteen or twenty years." It is.evident from the welcom given 'American settlers in Canada tkat the Canadian people appreciate them. Writing from Southern Alberta recently, an American farmer sajs: " "We are giving them some new ideas about being good farmers, and they are giving us some new ideas, about being good citizens. They have a law against taking liquor into the India.; reservation. One of our fellovi was caught on a reservation with a bottle on him, and it cost him $50. Dne of the Canadian mounted police found him, and let me tell you, thty find everyone who tries to go up against the laws of the country. J ' On Saturday night every bir-room is closed at exactly 7 o'clock'' Why? Because it is the law, and Ts the same with every other law! There isn't a bad nan in the wholejdistrict. and a woman can come hone from town to the farm at midnight. If she wants to, alone. That's Canada's Idea how to run a frontier; they lave certainly taught us a lot. ' On the other hand, we are, running their farms for them better than any other class of farmers. I guns I can say this without boasting, tand the Canadians appnclate us.

country; they fcr.cnv how to govern; we IvRow how to work." Another farmer, from Minnesota, who settled in Centra! Saskatchewan some jer.rs age, has the following to say about the country: "My wife and I havo done well enough since we came from the States; we can live, anyway. AVe came in the spring of 1501, with the first carload of settlers eflccts unloaded in these pirts. and built the first shanty bet veen Saskatoon and Lumsdca. We brought with our car of settlers effects the sum of $1,SÖ0 in cash, tod?y we are worth $40,000. We "proved 'ip' tne of the finest farms in Western Canada, and bought 3.0 acres at per acre. We took good crops off the land for four years, at the end of vhich we had $$,000 worth of improvements in the way of buildings, etc., and had planted three acres of trees. Two years ago we pot such a good offer that we sold oar land at $4, per acre. Firm the ahove you will see that we have not done badly since our arrival.' Prof. Thomas Shaw, of St. Paul, -Minnesota, with a number of other well known editors of American farm journals toured Western Canada recently, and m an interview at Winnipeg ?aid, in purt: "With regard to the settlement of the West I should say that it is only well hejun. I have estimated that in Manitoba one-tenth of the land

had been broken, in Saskatchewan one-tairtieth, and in Alberta, one-hun dred and seventy-fifth. I am satisfied that in all three provinces grain can re grown successfully up to the sixtieth parallel, and in the years to tome your vacant lands will be taken at a rate of which you have at present no conception. We have enough people in the United States alone, who want homes, to take up this land. What you must do in Western Canada is to raise more live stock. When you are doing what you ought to do in this regard the land which is nowselling for $20 an acre will be worth from $50 to $100 per acre. It 13 as good land as that which is selling for more than $100 per acre in the corr belt. I would sooner raise cattle in Western Canada than in the corn belt cf the United States. You can get your food cheaper and the climate is better for the purpose. We have a better market, but your market will improve faster than your farmers will produce the supplies. Winter wheat can be grown in one-half of the country through which I have passed, ard alfalfa and one of the varieties of clover in three-fourths of it. The Tanners do not believe this, but it is true." . . Keeping pace with wheat production, the growth of railways has been Quite as wonderful, and the whole country, from Winnipeg to the Rocky Mountains, will soon be a net-work of trunk and branch lines. Three sreat transcontinental lines are pushing construction in every direction, and at each siding the grain elevator is to be found. Manitoba being the first settled province, has now an elevator capacity of upwards oi 23,000,000 bushels; Saskatchewan, 20,000.000, and Alberta about 7,000,000, while the capacity of elevators at Fort William and Port Arthur on the Great Lakes, is upwards of 20,000,000 more. Within the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta there are flour and oatmeal mills with a combined capacity of 23,000 barrels per day, and situated along some famous water powers in New Ontario, there are larger mills than will be found anywhere in the prairie provinces. Last year the wheat crop totalled over 100,000,000 bushels. This year' the crop will yield 30,000,000 more. A recent summary shows that on the 1st of January, 1909, the surveyed lands of the three western provinces totalled 134,000,000 acres, of which about 32,000,000 have been given as subsidies to railways, 11,000,0)0 disposed of in other ways, and 3? .00,000 given by the Canadian government as free homesteads, being 226,000 homesteads of 160 acres each. Of this enormous territory, there Is probably under crop at the present time less than 11,000,000 acres; what the results will be when wide awake settlers have taken advantage of Canada's offer and are cultivating the fertile prairie lands one can scarcely imagine. Dolphin and I'lInjr FUh. A ship was lying at anchor at Boca. Grande, says the Punta Corda Herald, lately when the crew observed a dolphin chasing a flying fish, both coming directly toward the ship. On nearing the vessel the flier . arose in the air and passed over the bow just abaft the foremast. As It did so the dolphin went under the ship and. coming . ;ip on the other side, sprang from the water and caught the flying fish on "the fly" just as it was curving gracefully down in Its descent to the water.

AVhj- Itoy Lrnre Ihr Farm. An official connected with an eastern agricultural college has made a summary of the reasons given by 135 sons of farmers for abandoning the pursuit of their fathers. Sixty-two of this number said that farming does not pay. A strong argument can be made on the idea that it pays better than other forms of business. The secretary of agriculture has stated that the products of the soil in this country in 1005 reached a value of $o,000,000,000, w-hich is a good deal of wealth to divide up as a reward in one industry. Seventeen of the young men sa'd the hours of labor on the farm are too long. No doubt they meant at certain seasons, but this is a detail open to adjustment. Twenty-six thought social advantages on the farms are not equal to those in cities, which Is also a matter of opinion. Sixteen said they had a natural bent for something else, which is a point that deserves consideration always. Others objected to farm monotony, and fifteen said they would return to farming as soon as they m'ade a rile of money at something else. Many of these young men are the victims of illusion, and. unfortunately, of a kind curable only by experience. Probably they are not aware that 90 per cent of those who branch out into general business fail t accumulate J any considerable wealth, while the posi itive wreckage in means, health and comfort is large. A farm is never monotonous to a good farmer. It is rather a book of fresh Interest each succeeding day. A surplus at the end of a year is the rule on- the farm; in the city a surplus is the exception, and the style of family living, on the whole, is In favor of the country. But statistics show that plenty of boys remain on the farms. The farming popualtlon of the United States in 1000 was four times as large as In 1S30, and the value of their property increased five fold, or from $4,000,000,000 to $20,000,000. Do Farmern II mil Iliilletlnaf I have noticed one thing in particular while traveling in some of our best agricultural state, and that Is, when I see a number of well dressed farmers discussing beef and milk rations, feeding young animals for a healthy development, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus and their functions in plant growth and protein and carbohydrates and their functions in animal growth, I am invariably in a prosperous and up-to-date community. Now, the question is, do the best and most intelligent farmers read their bulletins and keep in touch with their station workers and read the agricultural pres3, or does the reading of these bulletins and agricultural papers make more intelligent fanners? It is one or the other considered from either standpoint, for these bulletins and agricultural papers are not read by the poor and uneducated class of farmers, neither do they circulate as freely acnong the poorer farmers as they do among the farmers in the better agricultural communities.

Tho period for which the Eeeds of different plants maintains their vitality varies a good deal. The seeds of some vegetables are worthless after they are two years old, while the seeds of other plants' Improve with age until a certain period. For instance: the seeds of artichokes are good until they are three year3 old; asparagus, four years; beans, two years; kidney beans, one year; beets, ten years; broccoli, four years; cabbage, four years; carrot, one year; cauliflower, four years; celery, ten years; corn, three years; cucumber, ten years; egg plant, three years; endive, four years; kale, four years; leek, two years; lettuce, three years; melon, ten years; pea, two 3'ears; okra, two years; onion, two years; pumpkin, ten years; radish, four years; salsify, two years, spinach, four years; squasii, four years; tomato, two years, and turnips, four years. Coat of Kefiilnn Sheep. It is roughly estimated that it costs $2.000 to run 3,500 sheep a year under ordinary range conditions, where a forage crop is not put to figure against the expense, says Denver Field and Farm. Two men one year at $50 a month, including their living, will cost $600; twenty extra men one month at. $23, including feed, $."00; expense of shearing 2.500 sheep, $1.""; total cost of running 2,500 she p one year, $1,G.G0, which, with the 1,003 lambs and incidental expenses of the ranch, brings the total figure up to $2,000. Grnftlnx Tree for .ut. The experiment of growing walr.uts on oak tteo3 is, according to newspaper reports, being conducted successfully by E. M. Price of Sacramento. Cal., who ha3 a large numuer of new species about his home. The nuts are said to grow about thre times a3 large a3 those in the market. The product is the result of cutting the limbs of walnut trees and grafting them into oako. o l'e for the Horn. When cattle were aised on the range a good set of horns was necessary for protection. An all-wise crea- ) tor put them there for that purpose. On the farm a cow or a steer is not

In need of horns. Breeders are breeding them off very rapidly. Even th8 long-horned Hereford has. a polled strain now, and it is predicted by many that within twenty-live years a horned animal of the bovine race will bo a curiosity. On the other hand, advocates of horns say the hornless strain of every horned breed is undersized, and until it can come up to those that have horns in size and weight people will want the horned cattle of both shorthorn and Hereford breeds. However, there is no reason for leaving the horns on after they are there. The time to take them off is when the animal is young, and the way to do it is with any of the prepared horn killers. Uut take them off with the sawrather than let them go. It is more humane to do it than not to do it. Farmers Mail and Breeze.

rtruah for Soil Wnh. There is nothing quiie so good as ftae brush to catch and hold soil wash. Where small trees are used to fill a gully the top of the tree should be placed toward the head of the gully, so that all soil and trash coming down will be caught in the forks of the branches. If the tree is placed in the opposite direction the descending trash will slip more easily by and over it. For the same reason, in filling a gully with brush and branches, the tops of the brush should be placed upstream. Where gullies have been forced during the summer by soil washing it is well to fill them as early as possible In the fall while the leaves are -t ill on the brush with which they are filled. When they are filled early and before the leaves of the trees have fallen, many leaves, as well a3 grass and weeds that may be blown about the fields by fall and winter winds will be caught in the brush to decay, will help fill and will form good soil. The brush itself will decay in a year or two, so that n-hen the gully is filled It cannot only be plowed over, but will become the best soil. Never fill a gully with soil, unless some brush or similar material is put in the bottom to hold the soil. In mending a steep place in the roadside, briers, brush and all fence rowmowings make good material to lay down to place the dirt upon. If rocks are available It is best to first lay brush in the place to be filled, then place the rocks upon the brush, and last the dirt upon the rocks and brush. These will hold and bind the dirt until it becomes settled and firm, and it will be less subject to washing and being cut up by travel in wet weather. Never burn a bit of brush on the place, but put It to some good use. Ilrredlntc Serine. In breeding swine or live stock of any kind the breeder shoHld have a well defined object in view, a point toward which to work, a type, an ideal, if you will, well fixed in his mind. All hogs of the same breed are not alike, and it is this fact that makes Improvement of any breed possible. There are different types of the same breed for the breeder to select from, and the intelligence and judgment used in the selection of the anlmal3 reserved for breeders will sooner or later demonstrate the success or failure of the breeder. Of course, methods of feeding and care cut an Important figure. Many men who are good feeders of swine are very poor breeders, but few good breeders are poor feeders. The tendency of all our improved animals is to revert backward toward the original type, and In the case of swine it should be boma In cnind that while there is no stock that can be so rapidly improved by judicious selection, 'care and feed, chere is none that will degenerate so quickly under neglectKansas Farmer. Scab In Sheep. The disease commonly called sheep scab is one of the oldest known, most prevalent and most injurious maladies which affect sheep. It Is a contagious skin disease caused by a parasitic mite. Investigation has shown that the disease Is not hereditary, as the parasites which cause it live on the external surface of the body. It is possible, however, for a lamb to become infected from a scabby mother at the moment of birth or immediately thereafter. The treatment must consist of external cures to "purify the blood." Proper hygienic conditions alone, though ol importance in connection with the subject of treatment, cannot be relied upon to cure scab. The only rational treatment consists in using some external application which will kill the parasites. By far the most rational and satisfactory and the cheapest method ot curing scab is by dipping the sheep in some liquid which will kill the parasites. Foreinir Plant to Illoont. A newly discovered plan for forcing plants for securing bloom.3 out of season consists of Immersing shoots by Inversion in water at a temperature of 30 to 35 degrees C. for nine or 12 hours, and afterward keeping the plants in a dark, moist chamber at a temperature of about 25 degrees until the leaves, commence to appear, after which the plants are grown under ordinary greenhouse conditions. Lilacs, azaleis, spiraes, etc., treated as Above during the middle of November were in bloom at Christmas or early in January. Preservation of rKKa The Agricultural I apartment has for some time been engaged in the investigation of the subject of the preservation of eggs with the view of putting the official stamp of approval on some particular method. In the course of this work it ha3 been discovered that the amount of moisture held by the air surrounding the eggs in storage Is a very great factor in their preservation, and an effort is now being made to arrive at some mechanical means of rec- ... ( - -u , ulatine tho air sunnlied to the ecna being held for later consumption. Silo FeedliiK. Not only must the silo be erected, shelter must be provided for the cattle during winter. Then if corn Is fed in the form of silage there will be successful results. A great many farms buy stock cattle in the fall ol j the year,' turn them into stalk field; and resell them to ward spring a; feeders. If the market is normal there will usually be a profit, but It, nevertheless is a wasteful practice. A much greater profit would be secured from silo feeding as mentioned. The Cost of Keeninur a Cow, According to careful experiments, the cost of keeping a cow a year with the best of feed and shelter, labe and interest on tho investment included, all told, amounts to $55. If, tht-n, tae co. can not be made to produce more thai $55, she is not worth keeping. A gooc' cow ought to produce at least $110, oi doub! the ct of her keep.

Babr Has Covered 1,000 MIlea for Earh Monla of Her Age. Six thousand nine hundred and for ty-flve miles within a period of thirty days is the record made by little Nancy L. Fitch, the 6-months-old child of W. E. Fitch, western passenger agent of the Iron Mountain Railway, with headquarters in this city. During the last thirty days Mr. and Mrs. Fitch decided to visit New York and the baby went along with them. They were gone ten days, and on their return the youngster had traveled a distance of 4,000 miles for the round trip. A few days later Mr. Fitch was called on to attend the traveling passenger agents' convention to be held at Chicago, and he accordingly packed up wife and baby for another long journey. This time the baby had traveled a total of 2.414 miles for tht round trip. On their return from Chicago, Mrs. Fitch was anxious to' visit the parents of Mr. Fitch at Mercedes, and baby was scheduled for another trip of 522 miles for the round trip In order to see its grandparents. Railway men of the State who have heard of the remarkable trip made by the child say that It is the most traveled youngster In the world and has broken all previous records for one so young. This record Is based on the fact tiat the little girl, who is only six months of age, has made an average of over 1,000 miles for each month since it was born, or a total of 6,954 miles traveled. Mr. Fitch is proud of the feat accomplished by his little daughter, and says that if the child does not beat other children for age, it certainly will for the distance traveled within a period of thirty days.
