    A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL 'EVERY
8CHOOL DAY.
Tho above caption about represents
tho growth of Central Canada. Tho
statement was mado not long Blnco by
a railroad man who claimed to havo
mado tho remarkable discovery that
such was tho caso. Thcro is not a
district of a fair amount of settle
ment In any of tho threo Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has Its school, and tho railways
havo stations every Boven or eight
miles apart, around which group tho
towns, soma largo and somo smill,
but each important to its own district.
Schools aro largoly maintained by pub
lic funds and tho expense of tuition is
but a nominal sum.
Tho final returns of tho grain pro
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and tho figures show that tho
valuo of tho crops to tho farmers of
that country is about 19G million dol
lars, as compared with 120 million last
year. American farmers or thoso who
havo gono from tho United States, will
participate largely In theso splendid
returns, nnd thesa compriso thoso who
havo gono from nearly ovory Stato In
tho Union.
Ono of tho many proofs that might
bo put forward showing tho Immonso
wealth that comes to tho farmers of
Central Canada is seen In tho sum
that has been spent during the past
two or threo months by tho farmers
who havo for tho tlmo being ceaBCd
worrying over tho reaper and tho
thresher, and aro takfng to onjoylng
themsolves for two or threo months.
It is said that fifty thousand pcoplo of
theso Western Provinces spent tho
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of theso passongers paid
forty and somo forty-flvo dollars for
tho round trip. Somo wont to Great
Britain, somo to tho Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastorn Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
Uieir friends in tho States. Tho amount
paid alono in transportation would bo
upward of two million dollars. Somo
make tho trip ovcry years. It need
not bo asked, "Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit of
20 to $25 per acre,- and somo having
as much as twelve hundred or moro
acres, tho question Is answorod. Tho
Canadian Government Agents at dif
ferent points in tho States report that
they havo Interviewed a great many
of thoso who aro -now visiting friends
In tho different states, and they all ex
press themsolves as well satisfied.
and promlso to tako somo of their
frlonds back with them. Thoro is still
a lot of free homestead land in splen
did districts, and other lands can bo
purchased at n reasonable prlco from
railway and land companies.
The average mun spunds moro
money on a foolish habit than ho docs

"that coffeo was tho direct cause of tho

IN RAISING WATER
Many Subterranean Streams
Close to Surface in the West.
Welt Adapted for1 Utilization for Irri
gation and Will Be Exploited
Within Next Few Years
Cost Is Low.
There nre a thousand and ono
places In tho west whero tho undor-,
flow of tho subterranean water Is so
closo to tho surfaco that It might Just
as well bo utilized for irrigation and
ovory ono of these places will bo ex
ploited In this way withjn tho noxt
thirty or foVty years. Greater Irriga
tion will work wtfnders in such places
of tho nrld bolt. Tho question of
pumping water for irrigation is sim
ple enough in theso days of practical
Improvements by tho way of machin
ery for lifting water and tho aero cost
Is generally less than Unclo Sam ox
pends In fancy tunnel projects. The,
opportunities for gravity irrigation
aro largely exhausted. There has
been in tho past nnd is yet too much
projudlco against pumping. Tho op
position Is duo moro to Ignornnco
than anything olso. Tho uso of cheap
machinery Is also responsible for tho
general belief that tho pumping of
water for irrigation is impracticable
and too costly.
AH over tho arid region nre to bo
found abandoned pumping plants and
when wo Inquire tho cause wo got
ono answer: "It costs too much to
pump tho wnter." Tho Iroublo la not
with tho pumping system but with tho
system of pumping. Tho cost should
not be moro than two dollars tho
aero per annum hut thero nro scores
of instances in which it costs from
$12 to $14 nnd this Is a rather stilt
tax for general crops undor poor
methods of culture. Water wheels
and current motors havo been In uso
in China for moro than 3,000 years
and in all that tlmo thcro has been
no marked improvement in their effi
ciency although thousands of typos
have been constructed and tried.
Thoy nro a crude and burdensomo
mennB to get power nnd undor tho
most favorable conditions give only
a fraction of tho power of stenm.
Taking all facts Into consideration
we may say that tho windmill is an
ingenious contrlvanco from an Irriga
tion standpoint to waste power and
monoy as a gcnernl rule. Howovor
when tho lift Is low, wind conditions
favorablo and a natural, Inexpensive
reservoir nvnllablo a small tract of
land may bo watered, but In 90 cases
out of 100 it is a delusion nnd a wasto
of money. Tho most approved sys
torn of modorn contrlvanco for small
quantities of wnter on a light lift Is
tho gasollno engine with centrifugal
or piston pumps nnd thousands of
them nro today employed all over
tho west to help as many poor set
tlers mnko a living undor conditions
which would otherwiso spell failure.
Thero are all kinds of splash wheola
working In currents that do pretty
good work night nnd day but they aro
nblo to lift water only a fow foot and
aro not nvnllablo any dlstanco back
from a good stream of water." Tho
turblno Is simple enough but enn bo
operated only undor tho pressure af
forded by a declivity and tho same Is
truo also of tho hydraulic ram which
howover Is not much hotter than a
Merino buck for Irrigating any con
siderable amount of ground In a prac
tical way. Tho artesian well with a
good stuff flow is tho finest kind of a
proposition but It comes wholly with
in tho provlnco of tho Creator nnd Is
always a condition such ns man can
not provide prlmnrlly.
The Place for Poultry
I am not n poultry specialist, nor
an oxtenslvo poultry rnlsor; nelthor
am I raising poultry ub a sldo issue.
I simply put my poultry on a basis
of equality with my other farm de
partments, giving it its equal share
of attention and getting Its share of
profit, says a writer In Bnltlmoro
Amorlcan. I keep ubout 100 laying
hens and rnlso about 300 chicks each
year. My Btock is puro bred, and I
sell stock nnd eggs for breading pur
poses, but at tho samo tlmo keep my
flock mainly for tho production of
markot eggs, nnd glvo particular at
tention to breeding my own fowls for
this purpose My other specialties nro
orcharding nnd growing special
strains of seed corn for our farmers'
club. All of these departments I
make pay well. .

The Importation of eggs to Japan of

IRRIGATION IS OLD METHOD
Flourished In Valleys of Euphrates
and Nile, Where Civilization Was
BornInsures prop.
Farming by Irrigation is tho oldest
method of fanning of which wo havo
a record. In tho valleys of tho Eu
phrates nnd tho Nile, whore civiliza
tion had its birth, thero irrigation
nourished ns at no other time in the
world's history. Tho millions of peo
ple who wore sustained on n compara
tively small atia could not hnVo. ex
isted except undor n system whore in
tensive cultivation and certainty of
yield existed.
Irrigation made Egypt tho grannry
of the world. It will mnko of nrl'd
America the greatest empire tho
world has ever seen.
Under irrigation thoro is a cortnlnty
of yield, ono year being llko anothor,
the farmer controlling tho molsturo
Just whero ntldwhcn ho wants It, so
that under tho system of lutenso cul
tivation tho tendency Is to smnllor
ncreago nnd better class of farming,
nnd. undor proper climatic conditions
for strictly hlgh-clnss crops. Nnturo
furnishes the soil and sunshine nnd
tho cannl furnishes tho rain. The
farmer has only to apply tho wntor
to the soil and the sunshine docs tho
rest.
Different crops require different
quantities of wntor for their propor
growth, grain,, alfalfa nnd beets re
quiring much moro than fruit or po
tatoes. Thero Is no secrot In Irriga
tion, Tho farmer who can tell when
his crop needs rain can in a fow
weeks learn to Irrigate.
Under Irrigation tho soil is prac
tically Inexhaustible.
MANY CAUSES OF FAILURE
In Care of Young Orchard There Must
Be Intelligent Reasoning on
Part of Owner.
Prof. Surfaco says that tho young
orchard should bo cultivated, but not
with grain or grass crops. Corn, po
tatoes, beans nnd othor vegetables,
woll cultivated, aro Ideal for n young
orchard. This is doubtless true, but
evidently enough omphnsls has not
been plnced upon tho fact that tho
orchardlBt must mnko a study docld
lng on what to cultlvato In his young
orchnrd. Many n young orchard has
boon stunted nnd delayed by improper
practico In tho beginning. Somo lo
calities experience hot, dry wenthor
early in summer, and if tho orchnrd
Is on land that naturally dries out,
tho cultivation of annual crops may
rob tho young trees of tho molsturo
necessary for their thrifty growth,
causing them to strugglo for oxlstenco,
nnd thus in a mensuro stunt them
nnd delny tholr arrival at a remuner
ative stago. In tho enro of n young
orchard thoro must bo to a largo ex
tent tho result of Intelligent reasoning
on tho part of tho owner, who must
In somo cases doprlvo hlmsolf of any
return from tho land for n year or
two In order to lnsuro tho best growth
nnd quickest returns from his trees.

Acre-Foot of Water.
An acro-foot of water Is a torm used
In irrigation to deslgnato tho amount
of water used for the irrigation of tho
land. An acre-foot of water is wator
enough to cover ono aero of land ono

good deal of water. It is not enough
to lrrlgato that ncro ordinarily. For
