THE SEMIAVEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, warn of E Great Prosperity Ahead Western Canada. for Tho moat recent ndvlcoa from all points In Western Canada report that conditions aro apparent for an early spring. FarmerB aro going over tho Implomonts, getting their seeders ready for operation, tho plows in shapo for extended breaking, and thero Is a general optimism. A great many now sottlerB havo already arrived, and tho reports from Canadian Government agents in tho United States point to the fact that In a few days thero will begin tho usual emigration from va rious of tho Central and Western states. From tho Eastorn states tho number of farmers going to Canada will bo greater than in any past year. Thero haB been a fairly largo snow fall during tho winter, which will greatly add to tho precipitation of last fall, which in tho opinion of old timers was in Itself sufllcieut to In uuro a good crop during tho present year. Thero will bo very littlo tilled land that will be without a crop this year. Tho authorities, though, aro pleading with tho farmers to seed only such land ns has had careful preparation, for rich as is tho soil of Western Canada, It is no more fitted to produce good crops uncultivated than is that of any other land nnywhere elso. There havo been accounts of failures in some portlona of the agricultural districts of Western Canada, and also reports of small yields In some districts. A good deal of this is accounted for from the fact that notwithstanding the advice of men of experience, thero are farm ers who will persist in Becdlng land not properly prepared. This may be done this year, but thoso who cultivate on reasonable and logical methods will bo certain of a paying crop. There is every reason to bellevo that tho high prices of all kinds of grain will con tinue. With thousands and thousands of acres of land waiting for the husband man to bring it forth with a crop, it Is n'J wonder that Western Canada is continuing to prove such an inviting Held for the agriculturist. Seventy million dollars Is a con servative estimate of orders which came to Canada as tho direct result of tho war. GovernmentiTof the al lles'have been placing large orders in Canada and buying huge quantities of supplies for cash. Tho total valuo of exports to Eu rope from Canada has jumped about 15 per cent since tho war started, while in certain lines tho Increases have been enormous. Therefore tho results of tho demand of tho allies for war and other material Is beginning to bo felt in the financial life of the Dominion. Thero is a marked activity in many commercial lines, and conditions aro fast becoming normal. Western Canada Is receiving a rela tive benefit to the 3ast. Advertise ment. Quite Different.

MAKE MONEY IN HOME A New Jersey Horn (fly ANNA GALIG1IEH.) Tho strawberry will stand a good deal of 111 treatment, but It will not produce good cropB under the above conditions. Any good soil which will bring corn or potatoes will do for strawberries, but If you want berries tho size of hen's eggs put tho plants in tho rich est soil you can find atid cultivate the same as other garden crops. If tho soil is not rich enough without being fertilized, use well-rotted stable manure. Fresh manure will not do, ex cept as a top dressing; after tho plants are well started, spread It between the rows. I know n man who makes a business of growing strawberries for market whoso berries are planted on thin, clay soil. No fertilizer of any kind is used, and his largest berries aro about tho sizo of Gregg raspberries, as a rule. About half the berries are not worth picking. I believe that spring Is tho proper time to Bet strawberry plants. But if one can procure good, strong plants in the fall, and have them taken up with a quantity of soil adhering to the roots, they will bear a good many berries tho following season, but not a full crop. If transplanted in tho fall, without any soil clinging to the roots, the plants should not bo allowed to bear fruit tho following season. This is important, because when all of tho roots are dislodged it takes a long time for tho plant to recover from the shocks and form new roots. Nono of tho old ever tnko a firm hold in the ground unless new feeders start, and while tho strawberry grows or hibernates all winter, tho growth Is less rapid when tho ground is cold than it is in the spring and summer. A great many people believe fall, or rather late summer, is the proper time to set strawberry plants. They tako up the plants, or send their order to somo nursery man, as tho caso may be, and handle the plants Just ns they would In tho spring. Now this is all wrong. Last fall, whllo wo were taking up strawberry plants, with the uld of a dibble and spade, and carefully plac ing them in boxes and baskets to bo transferred to a now location, ono of our neighbors came in for plants, which ho had previously engaged. Ho insisted that all tho soil bo shaken off the plants. He "wanted strawberry plants, not real estate." A short time ago, while talking with this man, wo had occasion to inquire how his strawberries turned out. "Oh, wo had a few," said he, "but they are nothing like yours. They are not what I expected. In fact, the ber ries were scarcely worth tho picking." I wanted to say, "I told you so," BENEFITS OF WISCONSIN ALFALFA ORDER TheConnectingLink A Slogan of the (By II, Li. UUSSELL.) Tho organization of tho alfalfa or der of tho experiment association of tho stato-of Wisconsin, which now numbers over seven hundred mem bers, has stimulated special interest in its culture, but there are yet many farmers who hesltnlo to try this crop because they are not familiar with its culture. Tho plant Is doing ex ceedingly woll in Wisconsin and is be ing rapidly introduced, tho present acrcago being estimated at over 30 000 acres. Through tho co operative buying of selected seed, over 50,000 pounds of alfalfa seed (valued at over ?9,000) were purchased and distributed to members at n very material saving In prlco, and a much higher grade sc cured than would havo been possible had It been purchased by Individual farmers. By means of this organization, It has been posalblo to Becuro wide v&a&i) cooperation of tho members in STRAWBERRY PATCH e Strawberry Patch. but us ho 1b the Eort of man who "knows It all," I said nothing. No doubt ho believes his failure was due to '-'something In the soil," but, ns wo experimented a little ourselves, wo are fully convinced that It was all in tho bundling of tho plants. The laBt week in October Is about tho right time to transplant, or rnther transfer strawberries. Tho weather hus begun to got cool by that time and the plants nro largo and strong. Wo set out 200 extra lino strawberry plants laBt- spring and al lowed tho runnoru to form plantB until tho ground was nil but covered. Thoso surplus plants aro tho ones wo will lift this fall. ' Seo that tho soil is in good condition to receivo the plants. Plow or spade it nu deep as tho soli will permit. If a crop of potatoes has just been removed from tho ground, it should not need much stirring. Placo tho plants in rows about four feet apart and ten Inches npart in tho rows. Rows may be either single or double, ns preferred. If the weather Is dry a littlo water should be poured around the roots be fore filling in tho soil. After tho plants have gotten a start, boo or run tho cultivator between tho rows to loosen tho surfneo before tho covering is put on. It is a good plan to cover before hard freezing begins. Don't covertoo deep, becauso if tho air is excluded the plants will smother. Clean straw, freo from chaff, makes tho best covering. Anything which holds moisture is apt to cause the plants to rot it thero' Ib very much rain. GROUND GRAIN BEST FOR YOUNG SWINE Most Satisfactory Gains Made When Fed in Slop Give Plenty of Pure Water. There Is no way that grain will go further or mako more satisfactory gains when fed to pigs than when ground and mado In a slop. It should bo finely ground for this purpose and should bo soaked' at least six hours before feeding. Do not make this slop so thin that tho pigs must drink twice what they need to get a reasonable feed of tho meal and don't mako it so thick that it won't run readily the whole length of tho trough. Feed them ns much of this slop as they need aud then let them have access to plenty of pure water and they will drink no more than is good for them. Alfalfa Order. making practical trials, throughout tho entlro state. In 240 trials where it was grown for the first time, sue cossful results were reported In 88 per cent of cases. In tho majority of cases where falluro occurred, tho soil had not been inoculated. Greater suc cess was attained where alfnlfa was grown without a nurso crop, although light secdlngs of grain (not exceeding ono buBhel per acre) wore used quite widely. Reports on winter killing show, that where properly established, It stood as woll as clover. As a result of tests of different rates of seeding, carried on not only at tho Madison station and tho branch stations, but also In co-operation with mcmbera of tho alfalfa order throughout tho stato, tho agronomy department has found that, as a rulo, it is Inadvisable to sow loss than fifteen pounds of seed per aero on land woll prepared and Inoculated, and not less than twenty pounds on now land that la first used for this crop.
