In Four Staples Alone the Farm
ers of Western Canada Pro
duced 408 Million Dol
lars In 1915.
The Calgary (Alberta) printers have
n houao orgnu, called "Tho Mngnot,"
and la its columns a few weeks ago
appeared an nrtlclo entitled "Who's Got
tho money?" It was cloverly written,
and but for Its length, tho writer would
hnvo been pleased to have copied tho ar
ttclo In its entirety. Tho purpose for
which this article is published, how
over, that of lotting the readers of the
paper know of tho great progress that
Is being made In agriculture In West
ern Canada, will bo served by copying a
portion of tho nrtlclo. Many of tho
readers of this paper doubtless have
friends In one of the three provinces
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta,
and they will bo Interested In feeling
that their friends are enjoylug a
portion of tho wealth that has come
to Western Canada farmers as a re
sult of careful tilling of n soil prodi
gal In everything that goes to make
good grain, cattle, horses, hogs mid
sheep.
Reproducing from the article:
The Government does not produce
money. It can stamp "One Dollar" on
n slip of white paper, and wo accept
It at a dollar's worth, but neither tho
paper nor tho printing are worth a
copper. What gives it value Is the
promise of the people of Cannda which
stands behind the printed slip, and our
faith In that promise.
Now do you know who's got the
money?
Let us put It Into figures. The farm
ers of -Alberta, Saskatchewan a&H
Manitoba last year rnlscd 342,048.000
bushels of wheat. If wo take for an
average 85 cents a bushel In Manitoba.
81 cents In Saskatchewan, and 70 cents
In Alberta tho season's wheat crop was
worth $2S0,G29,000. Add to this an
oat crop of 3114,810,000 bushels,
worth $0:5,457,000 ; a barley crop of 35.
254.200 bushels, worth $15,871,000. nnd
n flnx crop of 10,559,000 bushels worth
$15,843,000, and you find that on these
four staples alone tho farmers of West
ern Canada produced a wealth of
$407,800,000.
IMeaso note that this wealth Is In
money. It Is not In real estate at In
flated values, Industrial stocks that are
half water and the rest air, fictitious
goodwills or unsaleable merchandise.
It Is In hard cash, or which Is better
hard wheat.
These figures are only for tho staple
grain production. They do not in
clude tho millions of dollars represent
ed by tho live stock and dairying Indus
tries, or thn additional millions includ
ed In Uio root, fruit, and garden crops.
The creameries of Saskatchewan, for
Instance produced more buttermilk
and Ice cream last year than their
total production amounted to six years
ago. The milk, butter, and cheese pro
duction of Albertn for 1015 was valued
at over eleven million dollars. The po
tato crop of the three provinces wns
worth five millions nnd a half. Corn
nnd alfalfa comparatively new crops,
charged with tremendous possibilities
amounted to over a round million.
Even honey you didn't know we
raised honey (tho bee kind) In this
country, did you? Manitoba produced
105,000 pounds in 1015, and there Isn't
a bee In tho province that doesn't
swear he's n better honey-sorter thnn
nnythlng in Cnllfornln or Washington.
That's where the money Is; In the
Jeans of our honest friend tho farmer,
who was too slow to got Into the cities
when tho rest of us saw short-cuts to
wealth ; who hadn't Imagination enough
to tufak a mnn can make money with
out earning It, and who wns too dull
to know that hard work Is foolish.
Well, he has the laugh now. Likewise
tho money. Advertisement.

HINTS FOR TURKEY RAISERS
One of Greatest Difficulties In Suc
cessfully Handling Fowls Is
Lack of Hardiness.
(By A. BASS, Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
Lnck of vitality and hardiness In
tho stock is one of tho greatest dlfll
cultles In successfully handling tur
keys. Bronze turkeys are tho largest
and hardiest of all domestic varieties
Hero arc some pointers for turkey
raisers :
1. LIco cause great loss in turkeya
Kill them on the hens nnd on the
young turkeys with Insect powder, ap
plying once a week when cooped up.
2. Turkeys do best when kept scpa
rato from chickens. If the two nro
kept together tho turkeys arc likely
to take chicken dlsenses.
3. Tho growth of turkeys Is rapid.
Give plenty of nutritious and easily
digested food. For tho first live days
feed four quarts of bread crumbs and
one part of boiled eggs. Feed ono
meal a day of rolled oats nnd give all
the sour milk they will drink. Chnngo
gradually, and In three weeks feed six
parts of wheat and two parts of corn,
with rolled oats onco n day. From tho
time tho birds are ten weeks old until
maturity give: "Wheat, ten parts;
Healthy and Active Type.
whole oats, two parts, increasing to
ten parts in two weeks; cracked corn,
ten parts.
4. Access to fine gravel, crushed
shells and broken charcoal is neces
sary. 5. Give plenty of green food. It pre
vents digestive troubles.
G. Blnck or red popper and ginger
In food or drinking water aids In over
coming chills nnd prevents bowel trou
ble, especially on cold, damp days.
Plenty of grit and oyster shells, to
gether with well-selected, wholesome
food, eliminates this necessity in
"most cases.
7. If young turkeys get wet, take
them o a warm room until thorough
ly warm and dry.
8. ' Tho more exercise the better. Al
ways give free range In dry weather
If possible.
0. Dampness, lice nnd filth aro
deadly foes to young turkeys.
TIME TO SELL THE BROILERS
Surplus Cockerels of Quickly Maturing
Breeds May Be Marketed to
Good Advantage.
(By A. C. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
Station.)
Surplus cockerels, particularly thoso
of the higher nnd more quickly matur
ing breeds, may Lo marketed now to
advantage. Poultry raisers, particu
larly thoso not largely engaged In tho
occupation, market their surplus cock
erels sooner or later. All realize that
cockerels of the lighter breeds become
n nuisance very early In life nnd for
that reason It is very desirable to get
rid of such at the broiler uge. This
Is comparatively easy to do, as broilers
aro used at nil seasons In the larger
cities. So active, In fact, Is the de
mand for chicks under two pounds
that often a price of nt least two cents
a pound above other quotations Is of
fered for them.
While chicks of tho broiler size aro
always salable. It must be borno In
mind that they will not always bring
tho same prices, and that the present
Is the time of high prices, which nt
the top about July 1 drop fioon nf for
wards, and with accelerated rapidity
nt tho season advances.
BEST FEED FOR YOUNG BIRDS
Ducklings and Goslings Should Be
Given Mashes Mixed Crumbly,
but Not Too Wet
Don't try to raise ducklings and gos
lings on dry feed, but give them
mnshes mixed crumbly, but not wet.
A good mash for those more than a
week old Is "one part common! nnd
two parts wheat bran, mixed with milk
or wnter and containing a little grit
and a little finely granulated charcoal.

A new road made in tho lato fall

means that tho farmer cannot haul
