WESTERN CANADA'S
- PROSPECTS FOR 1914
Excellent Spring for Work and
Wheat Seeding About
Finished.
Tho writer has Just returned from
an extensive trip through tho Prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, In WeBtcru Canada. Tho crop
conditions nro tho. very best, and no
ono locality sooma to have an advan
tage over another In this respect. Tho
uniformity In growth Is remarkable,
and In all partB of the thrco provinces
Bprlng wheat at the tlmo of writing,
May 10th, ls well abovo tho ground
from two to thrco Inches. Consider
able fall plowing was dono last year,
and this, with tho summer fallow, 18
already Beeded, so that practically
wheat seeding Is over by this date.
Everywhere tho farmers are busy and
tho wholo country presents ono" great
scono of activity tlirco-horse, four
horso and flvo-horso teams aro busy
preparing land for barley, oats and
flax. On some of tho larger farms
batteries of steam and gasoline qut
Hb are at work, but In a great many
districts whoro those havo boon oper
ated In tho past they aro being dis
placed by horses, owing no doubt par
tially 'to tho difficulty of securing ex
perienced men to opernto them. Any
way, there Is being put Into agricul
ture In Western Canada, greater ef
fort with more promise than for some
years past. Tho soil Ib In tho best
possible condition: moisture has been
BUfllcIent, there havo been no winds
to dry out tho soil, and if the farmers
havo had to lay up for a day or so
now and again, it was merely that tho
ground might havo tho advantago of
the rain and an occasional snow,
which promlso so much for the grow
ing crop. With some warm weather
tho grain will como along in a man
ner that will equal tho best years
Western Canada has ever had.
It must not bo thought from this
that tho farmers aro full bent on so
curing a grain crop alone. Ip nearly
every district there Is more and more
tho indication and inclination to go
Into mixed farming. Herds of cattle
now dot the plains that up to the
present had been fully given up to
grain growing, hogs and sheep are In
evidence. Now buildings aro to be
seen on a great many places, these
being pig houses and cow stables, al
though protection of cattle Is not regu
larly required, excepting for calves
and such cowss It may bo necessary
to house from time to time.
Tho. growing of alfalfa and other
fodder grasses is an Industry that Is
being rapidly developed.
. During this spring a, splendid class
of now settlers have gone In, many of
them from tho eastern states. These
havo seen what "success the western
and central Btates man haB achieved
In Westorn Canada, and are now go
ing in In hundreds. The movement
.from Montana, Oregon and Washing
ton to. Cnnada continues without any
abatement as to numbers and value ot

Reliable evidence is abundant that women
i V it
are constantly being restored tohealth by
"Lydia Ef Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
The many testimonial letters that we are continually pub
lishing in the newspapers hundreds of them are all genu
ine, true and unsolicited expressions of heartfelt gratitude
for the freedom from suffering tha.t has come to these
women solely through the 'use of Lydia.E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
. Money could not buy nor any kind of influence obtain
such recommendations ; you may depend upon it that any
testimonial we publish, is honest and true if you have any
doubt of this write to the women whose true names and
addresses are always given, and learn, for yourself. '
Read this one from Mrs. Waters:
Oamden, KJ. "I was sick for two years with nervous spells, and
my kidneys wero affected. I had a doctor all the time and used a
galvanic battery, but nothing did mo any good. I was not able to go
to bed, but spent my time on a couch or in a sleeping-chair, and soon
became almost a skeleton. Finally my doctor went away for his
health, and my husband heard of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and got me some. In two months I got rcliof and now I
am like a new woman and am at my usual weight. I recommend
your medicine to every one nnd so does my husband." Mrs. Tixlih
Wat-bus, 1135 Knight Bt., Camden, N.J.
And thisone from Mrs. Haddock:
Utioa, Oki.a. "Iwas weak and nervous, not ablo to do my"work
and scarcely ablo tfc bo on my feet. Thad backache, headache, palpi
tation of the heart, trouble with my bowels, and inflammation. Sinco
taking tho Tydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound I am better
than I have been for twenty years. I think it is a wonderful medi
cine and I havo recommended it to others." Mrs. Maky Ann Had
dock, Utica, Oiclahoma.
Now answer this question if you can. Why should a
woman continue to suffer without first giving Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial ? You know that
it has saved many others why should it fail in your case?
For 30 years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has been tho standard remedy for fe
male Ills. No ono sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she docs not try this fa
mous medicine mado from roots and herbs, it
has restored so many sufforlnprwoinontohonlth.

PROPAGATE CURRANTS
T ft '
The Engllah Gooseberry Borer Is a Thing to Look Out For Spraying In
the Best Preventive.
Thcro nra many ways to propagate
tho gooseberry and currant, says
Rural Now Yorker. If now varlctlos
aro wanted seeds aro used, which nro
washed from the ripo fruit and plant
ed In the fall, or stratified until ground
ia fit for planting in spring. If one
deslroB to propagate a certain variety
it may be done by separation, layering
or cuttings. Many times theso fruits
will send up suckers, which if separ
ated from tho plant with bo mo roots
attached, make good plants. Layer
ing Is a very easy moans of propagat
ing. Cuttings aro also easy to start,
and though a largo percentage may
fail If carelessly handled, it will bo
tho quickest way to increaso the
plants, Tho drawing shows a onc-year-old
shoot of gooseberry nt A. This lo
the proper age to use for cuttings and
layering, although tho two-year-old
shoot at 13 may bo layered, but would
not be .apt to glvo as good a plant as
Propagating the Gooseberry. ,
tho one-year shoot A. Tho three-year-old
shoot at C Is not deslrablo for
either fruiting or propagation, and
should be removed to glvo tho youngor
wood a better chance. D shows a one-year-old
shoot bent down nnd covered
with earth. The tip is loft uncovered,
and usually a cut Is mado on tho un
der sido at tho bend, as shown at F.
This hastens root formation. Tho cut
should not bo mndo too deep. A small
forked Btick, as Bhown nt O, is handy
to hold In place tho shoots that aro
too stiff to bo hold down by the soU
placed, over It. Tho layers, should bo
laid down In the full or spring, and left
In placo till tho following fall, when
they may bo removed to permanent
quarters.
Cuttings should bo taken from the
one-year shoots such as A. Wood for
cuttings should bo cut, with knife or
shears, aa broken ends seldom heal as
well. Tho cuttings Bhould havo from
eight to twelve eyes or buds, and aro
best taken in the tall, tied in bundles
and burled with butts up till spring.
Tho cuttings should bo entirely cov
ered, and in a well-drained place. The
object In Inverting tho cuttings is to
give' tho butts a chance to calous with
out starting growth In tho tops. In
tho spring tho cuttings must bo dug
up as soon as tho ground will permit,
and aro then ready to plant In rows
about two or threo Inches apart in tho
row. Only two or three of tho upper
buds are exposed. The cuttings should
be given clean culture. The plants

CHIEF ERRORS IN STRAWBERRY PLANTING
Methods of Planting Strawberries.
Thero are several methods of plant
ing strawberries i.i general use, which
may bo modllied to Buit tho planter.
Tho method in common use, is tho
matted row systsm.
In tho spring, when land Is In good
condition to work, harrow, smooth and
mark out rows four feet apart and ns
long as possible. Then set tho plants
at 18 or 20 Inch Intervals In the rows,
cultivate often enough to Ueop weeds
out and tho soil loose until September,
whAii. If Mm nlants ar vigorous grow
AND GOOSEBERRIES
should bo removed to the permanent
quarters tho following fall.
It It Is hot convenient to take the
cuttings In the fall, thoy may bo taken
in tho spring and planted In tho rows
the same as tho tronchod cuttings
wore Tho age ot tho parent plant
will make Uttlo or no dlttoronco to tho
cuttings, provided thoae aro strong
ono-year-old shoots. Groat cmphusla
should bo given to tho fact that cut
tings should bo taken from tho host
plants. If tho plant is w;eak, If poor
In Its habit of growth or subject to
disease more than tho others, It
should bo discarded so far as propaga
tion goes.
SPRAYING POTATOES
TO AVOID BLIGHTS
Increased Yield Is Sufficient to
Pay for Operation Grower
Is Winner Either Way.
Tho results of 20 years' work with
potatoes at tho Vermont station shows
that spraying with bordeaux mixture
even In years llko 1910, when no
blight occurs, increases the yield of
tho plants to which it Is applied. This
increased yield Is always sufllclent to
pay for tho cost of spraying opera
tions. Spraying is to ho regarded as
an insurance that pays for itself.
If tho blights aro prevalent, the po
tatoes, if thoroughly sprayed, aro in
surod against los3 therefrom; it the
season is a dry ono and no disease oc
curs, still the crop will bo enough
larger to pay for all tho cost of
spraying. Tho careful potato sprayer
wins .either way, no matter what tho
weather or disease conditions.
Buttermilk for Calves.
Experiments have shown that calves
fed on buttermilk make as good gains
and aro loss subject to scours than
thoso fed on skim milk. The condition
of tho buttermilk should bo tho aamo
at all times, Just tho same as skim
milk. It should not be too old, lumpy
or bitter. Buttermilk has prnctlcally
tho same composition as skim milk,
and should bo fed In tho samo quanti
ties and manner. It should not, how
ever, be fed to tho calf before it is at
least three weeks old, and tho chango
from sweet milk to buttermilk should
be Very gradual, taking at least threo
weeks. -
Returns Plant Food.
Only a comparative small proportion
of the mtllfced Is actually utilized by
tho cow. Practically all of Its plant
food may bo returned to tho soil if it is
properly conserved. Herein rests a
very important factor in the operation
of the dairy.
Mulch for Racpberrles.
"A mulch of manure on tho raspberry
patch Is good for next season's crop,
but It should not be so heavy near the
plants as to furnish a harbor for Held
mice, beueath which thoy can dig
down and cat tho roots.
ers, tho runners should be about six
Inches apart.
tany people fall to get strawberry
plants to grow after being sot. Prob
ably tho chlof mistakes aro shown to
tho right and tho left In this drawing.
Th plant at tho right Is sot too deep
ly; that at tho left too high or shallow.
Tho correct method Is nhown In tho
center Tho crown of tho plant should
be-level with the surface of the
ground to glvo tho plant proper
chance for development
Law Condoned Negligence.
In Kclsoy vs. Robuczlnl, in tlto su
premo court of crroni of Connecticut,
It appeared that dofendant, after no
tice that a division who fence between
his lot nnd n lo( whoro plaintiff pas
tured his cattle wns broken, took no
stops to repair it nnd tho following
day plaintiff's heifers passed through
tho broken fenco und reached n lot
lying south of both of such lots and
thcro cropped grass which had boon
poisoned In tho mixing of a spray for
potato vines, in consequenco ot which
part of them died. Defendant did not
know that tho potatoes had been
sprayed, or that any poUon had boon
Bplllcd on tho grass nnd could not
havo anticipated that somo person
might havo scattered poison Ubout the
grass thoro: it was held, assuming de
fendant's nogMlgonce, thnt it was not
tho proximate cause of injury.
