THE 8EMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEDRA8KA. Wi m-miauilllW ) isiern mum GRAIN CROP FOR 1914 THE WHEAT CROP ALONE WILL BE WORTH UPWARDS OF ONE HUNDRED MIL- LION DOLLARS. Tho yield of wheat in Western Cana da for 1914 is now safely estimated at 135 million bushels. This Is not as largo as in 1913 but for various rea eons jvill net tho farmer considerably moro money. Had it not been for drought that struck some portions of Southern Alberta and Southwestern Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding, thero would have been a phenomenal crop and with present prices thero would have been a year of un precedented prosperity. In a largo district of the country tho crops aro Tho Above Is a View of a Manitoba Into Mixed fully up to tho average. Tho por tions referred to had ample rainfall and blessed with conditions that put them into a moro enviable condition than tho districts first referred to. Fortunately in most places whero lack Df precipitation prevented harvesting n good crop this year, this is tho first of a number of years that it has happened, and tho farmers aro In a position to withstand a partial failure. Throughout all of Manitoba, Central Saskatchewan and tho largest portion of Alberta conditions aro good. Tho raising of cattle, sheep and hogs is now playing an important part in tho success of tho West ern Canada Farmer. From these, and the product of tho dairy and tho creaming, he is placing himself tu an excellent financial position. It la expected that during 1915 tho acre age sown to grains of all kinds will bo largely In excess of all previous years.

Any Farmer Having a Lot of Hogs Can Always Have Ready Money. of conserving tho molsturo, the farm ers aro now busily engaged In prepar ing larger areas for wheat, oats, barley and flax, and In this way very much will bo added to tho largo acreage placed In crop In 1913. Thero are nono that take any comfort out of tho war In Europe because it will mean In creased prices for everything they can ralso, but they propose taking advan tage of tho opportunity that Is afford ed. Western Canada is tho recognized grain field of the world, and will bo bo for all tlmo. Looking Into tho fu ture, thousands of Americans aro now contemplating joining tho band of Western Canada grain growers and they aro wise In doing so, for they can secure the best of land in good locali ties, convenient to market, at from ?15 to $20 per acre If purchased from rail way or land companies, or they can ctlll get homesteads within reasonable distance of railways by making entry for them. Tho American settler Is al ways welcome, and he will find In al I most any district in which he cares to locate, scores of American settlers, who nre doing well, and fow, If any, ever provo a failure.

Tho natural resources of the coun try aro bo vast that they cannot bo told in mero ilgures. Man can only toll of what tiny portions huvo dono. He can only say "I am more prosper ous than I ever expected to bo." And yet If a farmer expects to succeed on land that ho has been forced to pay ?50 to $100 an aero for, ho ought to feel assured of attaining prosperity when ho fludB tho richest pralrio soil at his disposal absolutely frco. If he has a littlo capital, let him Invest it all In live stock and farm implements ho will find himself ten years ahead of tho game. Somo day such a chance will not bo found anywhere on tho face of the globe. But now tho samo opportunities await you as awaited tho pioneer and not ono hundredth part of tho difficulties ho encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made up of two things, natural resources and human labor. .Canada has tho ono and you havo tho other. Farmer's Buildings. He Goes Largely Farming. ,, You want a cozy home, a frco life, and sufficient Income. You want edu cation for your children, and some pleasure for your wife. You want In dependence. Your burden has been heavy, and youi farm hasn't paid. You work hard nnd aro discouraged. You require a change. There Is a goal within sight, where your chil dren will havo advantages. You can get a homo in Western Canada and freedom, whero your ambitions can be fulfilled. If tho Prairie Provinces aro full of Successful Farmers, why should you provo tho exception? Haven't you got brains, experience, courage? Then provo what these aro capable of when put on trial. It is encourag ing to know that thero is ono country in the world where poverty is no bar rier to wealth! Besides tho grains spoken of, all kinds of grasses do well in Western Canada. At ono of tho fairs held & short time ago tho writer saw no less than eighty varieties of wld grass. Of tho cultivated grasses, Alfalfa gives a splendid yield, and although not yet generally grown, It will soon become universal. At a recent contest of fields sown not later than June, 1912, thero were prizes awarded in all districts in Saskatchewan. Tho quality was ex cellent. In Alberta it will soon be come tho popular feed. In Manitoba tho growing of alfalfa is quite success ful, and many farmers are now prepar ing land for it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re turn from a trip to Western Canada, furnishes the following contribution: "I'll dream again of fields of grain that stretch from sky to sky, And tho littlo prairie hamlets, whero tho cars go roaring by, Wooden hamlets as I saw them noble cities still to bo To girdle stately Canada with gem from sea to sea; Mother of a mighty manhood, Land of glamour and of hope, From the eastward sea-swept Islands to tho sunny Western slopo." It is tho Inspiration that led Sir Conan Doylo to pen tho above that has led tho many Americans that aro now In Western Canada to make their home there. Advertisement. Easily Caught.

In the study of foods wo aro tnught thnt golntln Is valuable as a proteld saver or roods. It Is not of Itself of much value, but It forms a most de slrablo medium for fruits nnd other foods In combina tion. While gela tin ennnot renlaco tho albumenates of our food, It ap proaches them In chemical composi tion and changes rapidly ml easily In tho body; In other words, It Is easily digested and Is a good substi tute for stronger foods which could not bo eaten by a convalescent. Gelatin added to milk gives bulk nnd makes It moro ensy to digest. Oelatln must not be boiled, as It loses Its thickening power. It should bo softened In cold water and then added to the hot liquid. Gelatin Is indispensable In tho preparation of many desserts; it Is also used with meat sauces, meats, fish nnd vegetables, as well ns In tho mnklng of confectionery of different kinds. Prune Jelly. Wash a half pound of good prunes and nllow them to soak for an hour In cold water. Then put Into an enameled saucepan with the rind of n lemon thinly pooled, a stick of cinnamon and a quarter of a cuprul of sugar. Stew until tender, then strain the liquid and rub tho prunes through a siove. Crack tho stones, blanch tho kernels (nnd add to the pulp; add a quarter of a cupful of lemon Juice and four tablespoonfuls of softened gelatin. Stir until well mixed, strain nnd mold, then servo with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored with almond. Cocoa that Is left over may bo thickened with gelatin and served as a most satisfying dessert with cream and sugar.

This famous recipe for German prune soup Is worth putting nway for future use. Wash and soak a pound of prunes In three pints of cold wa ter. Next day place over a slow fire, and when steaming add one lemon, washed and cut without paring, into tho thinnest of slices, a stick of cin namon, one Inch long, and cook be low tho simmering point until the prunes are tender but unbroken. There should be fully threo pints of water when tho prunes are done. Add threo tablespoonfuls of sago, a littlo salt, and sufficient sugar to sweeten, cook until the sago is trans parent. Remove tho cinnamon, add a cupful of grape juice and servo when hot. Liver Cheese. Soak a lamb's liver, wash thoroughly and place in a deep stewpan with n calf's tongue, or three lamb's tongues, nnd a half pound of fresh lean pork. Tie up loosely In a thin bit of muslin six allspice, five cloves, and half a bay leaf; add this to the meat with a scant tcaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. Pour over barely enough boiling water to cover and simmer gently for four hours. Dis card tho grlstlo tubes and put the meat through a chopper. Add salt, pepper, and enough of tho pot liquor to moisten. Pack in greased molds, cover with a plato and wolgji and let stand 24 hours. Fried Cream. Scald a pint of milk In a doublo boiler, adding an inch stick of cinnamon to flavor. Heat to gether two eggs, add a quarter of n cupful of cold milk, one tablespoon fu't of Hour, two of cornstarch, a half cupful of sugar, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt. Add this to the scalded milk, removing the cinnamon, return to tho boiler nnd cook in min utes, stirring frequently. Lastly, add ono teaspoonful of butter, two table spoonfuls of blanched nnd chopped almonds, nnd one teaspoonful of va nillic Pour Into a shallow pan, and when cold cut In strips, dip In egg and crumbs, and fry in deop fat. Servo with a Bweet sauco cr duHt with powdered sugar. Branched Searchlight.

As a rule tho English menls nre rather formidable, but thero Is no question that tho KngllBh cook ex cels In many dishes, for exam ple, tho crumpet.

It is, indeed, a rare person who eats hyglenlcully. Few know and fewer still live up to tho kuowledgo acquired. Probably the most common error Is eating too fnst, another eating too much, and an other not masticating the food well. Thero Is an old snylng which goes llko this: "Watch a man ent nnd you will know how ho works." It Is maintained by tho fast entors that as they do every thing rapidly so all their functions work at tho same rato. Howover this may be, It is essential that energetic chewing should continue until nil the food hns been well mixed with the saliva (the first dlgestlvo juice) and that tho food should bo so liucly di vided that tho flavor has been well en joyed. Our prehistoric parents hud good teeth. Mastication Is good for tho teeth, and they exercised them on good, conrse bone nnd muscle mnklng foods. Tho crusty, brown, hnrd bread Is not so well liked or ns popular as It should be. Uread which is soft and spongy and perfectly desirable bread Is not ns well chewed, is swallowed before the sweet flavor of tho grain la discovered and which is vustly more linportunt, before the saliva has had an opportuni ty to give its valuable aid to digestion. Hasto In eating usually goes with tho evil of much drinking at meals. Food properly chewed will bo moist enough to slip down without any dlfll culty. The old idea that nothing should bo drunk ut meals Is not held at present. Wuter Is iwdi'd, hut should not be taken In unlimited amounts during eating. the Information desired, and the eye- direct beam is avoided. ' Fooled.
