HOLIDAYING IN
THE WINTER
AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY
SPENT BY WESTERN CANADI
ANS IN WINTER SEA80N.
"An unusually largo numbor of
Western Canada people hro leaving
or preparing to leavo to spend tho
Winter In California."
Tho abovo Item of nowB waB clip
ped from a Western Canada papor
early In December. In tho sarao papor
were ItemB of nowB conveying tho In
telligence that hundredB of Western
Canadians were also taking a trip
nbroad, spending tho Christmas sea
eon "at home," as they yet term tho
old land. Tho Scandinavian olomont
participated largely In tho holiday
business of tho railroads and tho
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early In December tho east
bound trains and boats wero loaded,
and nn estimato furnished by tho rail
road peoplo gnvo upwards of twelve
thousand as tho .number who would
make tho Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that theso
peoplo aro leaving to avoid tho cold
ness of tho winter, nor for any cli
matic conditions whatever. They
havo como out to Canada and hnvo
done bo well that they can nfford tho
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol
lars or moro that It takes to carry
them across and back. When they
camo to Canada they did not have
that much money all told, but now
they aro wealthy and on their return
will bring somo of their friends with
them.
Then there are those, too, who on
their wheat farms havo mado suffi
cient money that they can afford to
take n holiday, and what better winter
holidaying ground could they havo
than California? How many In other
farming districts of tho continent
could afford the money and tho tlmo
that theso people can? Advertisement

CHICKEN DISHES.
Thero are so many nice dishes
which one may prepare from tho left
overs of a fowl chicken soup, chick
en salad, chicken sandwiches, chlckon
loaf and chicken croquettes. A most
delicious soup is prepared by covering
tho bones of a stowed or roast chick
en with water anil simmer for several
hours. The last half hour add a slice
of onion and two stalks of celery, the
coarse tops or leaves will do, cook un
til tender, then strain through a lino
sieve. Put the strained soup In a
eauccpan, and bind with two table
spoonfuls each of chicken fat and flour
cooked together; add a cup of rich
cream to tho broth, season with salt
and cayenne pepper, and pour very
gently over two well beaten eggs.
Giblets on Toast. Simmer tho gib
lets in water until tender, then chop
line, add slice, of onion to two table
spoonfuls ofj onion: cook until the
ouion Is yellow, rcmovo it and add
two tablespoonfula of (lour: cook until
smooth, add a cup of rich milk, tho
giblets and serve on tcast.
Chicken Salad. Mix equal parts of
chicken, cut in small bits, with celery
If there seems to bo too llttlo of tho
chicken, add a few nuts and a
chopped olive or two. Mix with salad
dressing of any desired variety, serve
on lettuce well chilled.
.Chicken loaf is good to use up the
bits of left-over chicken. The gelatine
may bo obtained from cooking the
feet of tho chicken. A pair or two of
chickens will servo for gelatine; If
not enough, add a tablespoonful of the
commercial variety, the seasoned
chicken chopped, a few hard cooked
eggs sliced; pour over tho broth with
the gelatine, and mold. When sliced
this makes a delicious salad, arrang
ing a slice on a lettuce leaf.

Peculiarities of Twins.
Many pairs of twins, as ovory ono

paper recently drow attention to n
couple of twins, named Evans, who
bewilder tho stranger by making tho

THREE MEALS A DAY.
To plan meals for three hundred
and sixty-flvo days In tho year, three
times a day, Is no small task. To havo
well-balanced, well-served meals, well
within tho Income, providing variety
and leaving nothing wasted Is yet an
other task which Is tho daily problem
troubling thousands of women each
day. Economy does not mean spend
ing little; It means getting tho best
returns for tho money Bpent. There
Is no better field for wlao spending
than for tho table. Good food Is es
sential for tho physical health, not to
speak of the mental and moral
growth, which Is no doubt largely de
pendent upon the right kind of food.
Oyster and Celery Soup. Cook a
cup of finely cut celery In boiling wa

WATCH ON IRRIGATED LANDS
Few Observation Wells Will Give Do-
sired Information About Ground
Water on Farm.
Many irrlgntod tracts havo so good
natural drnlnngo that with even wnste
ft I Irrigation tho ground water will
never rlso sufficiently near tho sur
ace to cnuBo wntor-iogRlug or by ovnp.
orating from tho soil cnuso alkali.
On still other tracts prudent Irrigation
may bo practiced Indefinitely, whllo
on others no amount of care In uso
o' water will prevent the reservoir
of the soil from filling nnd the ground
water from rising dangerously nenr
the surfneo on at least tho lower
love!-. Unfortunntcly, there Is a largo
percentage of the hitter classes of
lands.
A high stnto of productivity very
frequently Just procedes swamping.
During these markedly productive sen
soiib the Irrigator Is elated over the
results from what he calls natural
sublrrlgntlon and llttlo dreams that
In n year or two his farm will be
a k grass pasture, nn alkali bog or
a tulo swamp. Surfneo slopes only

which, after nil, determine tho move,

This spring Is none too soon to be
gin observing tho bohavlor of the
ground water on your farm. If It Is
not rising you will be pleased to know
It, and If It Is rising you should know
It nnd how fast. A few observation
wells will give you the desired In
formation and will nnnounco tho need
of supplementing the natural drainage
with artificial dralnago before It Is too

to that required to reclaim tho samo

tho forewarning of danger, but bIiow

give valuable Information needed in

IRRIGATION BY PUMPS GROWS
Method Has Advantages nnd Disad
vantages and Usually Costs More
Than Gravity System.
(Uy E. n. HOtTSK. Colorado Experiment
Station.)
Irrigation by pumping Is growing
all over the country. Wo have now
hundreds of pumping plants whore
wo had nono a few years ago. It
has Its advantages and Its disadvan
tages, it usually costB moro than
gravuy Irrigation, but It Is avallablo
at any tlmo and Is a paying proposi
tion on many of our farms. India Irri
gates over three million ncros from
wells, nnd the tlmo will como when
America will surpass this A pumping
Bupply of about 450 gnllons n mlmito
will ho nmplo to Irrlgnto 80 ncres.
Ono thing to romoinb?r Is, when wn
tor Is forced through a pipe, the faster
It travels, tho greater tho loss .n fric
tion. This loss Is equivalent to In
creasing tho pumping head, hence it
is better to uso large pipes instead of
small ones; It Is also best to have
as few turns or elbows as .possible
and It Is simply a question which must
bo decided for each individual plant ns
to vhat Blzeplpo will bo the most
economical. Tho larger tho pipe tho
moro It costs, nnd yet with largo pipe
tho englno may bo smaller nnd less
fuel required to pump tho required
amount of water.
TIME AND LABOR CONSERVED
Use Ordinary Breaking Plow In Be
ginning Ditch, Throwing Furrow
Slice to One Side.
When beginning n ditch, a great
'deal of tlmo nnd labor can often be
saved by UBlng nn ordinary breaking
plow and throwing out n furrbw over
tho course tho ditch Is to follow.
Of course, if tho ditch makes mnny
ubrupt or short tuniB, relates Farm
and Flresldo, tho difficulty will bo
somewhat Increased.
Tho courao of tho ditch should first
bo determined. Directly over tlds tho
plow should pass, throwing n furrow
slice to ono sldo. When tho end ol
tho courso 1b renched tho plow should
bo turned nnd tho course followed
back to tho starting point, this time
throwing tho furrow-sllcd to tho op
noBlto sldo. Tho plow should cut ns
deep ns possible This gives a wide,
deep furrow, which In a vory fow min
utes has accomplished the largest part
of what would be represented by the
first Hpadlng. If tho ditch Is to serve
for surfneo drainage only, and thus be
only ono or two spndlngs dcop, no
groat width Is required at tho top,
Often a single furrow is sufficient.
Hay Should Not Sunburn.
Tho feeding value, as well ns the
market value, and palatahliity of hay,
Is lowered by helug sunburned. Tho
feeding value Is probably hurt most
by tho loss of leaves. Sunburned
clover and alfalfa lose a large part ol
tho leaves In handling, and this is the
best part of tho crop,
When tho sun Is shining very
brightly tho alfalfa or graBB should
not bo left In tho swath long. A lurge
part of tho curing should bo done In
tho windrow and tho cock. Moat ol
tho hay is then shaded and so the
damaging effect of Intense sunshine
Is reduced to tho exposed portion
And tho stock cover will still 'further
lessen tho Injury from sun as well aa
from rain.
