FROM THE CANADIAN
1EAI CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.
The largo number of United States
settlors coming to tho Western prov
lnces of 'Canada nro easily explained
by the case of Mr. O. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and Inter of Alberta.
Mr. Lacy came to Cunnda from Wis
consin In tho summer of 1914 with
$l,r00 nvnllnblo ensh In his possession.
! Ho rented a half-section of partly Im
proved land In Alberta nnd commenced
surhmer fallowing. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, nnd 200 with
wheat. Also ho had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunato In buying feed nt a bnrgaln and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits nnd they amounted to
$0,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and tho stock.
W. J. Wiustcad, of Brooks, Alberta,
says :
"I landed In Brooks, March 18th,
1010, with one car of household effects,
and nine bend of good horses, and less
than $500 In cash. I have put $1,000
worth of Improvements on my farm. 1
have 31 head of cattle, 10 head of
horses, debts all paid, a new automo
bile, and n good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I enn cash In for
$10,000. I am well satisfied, and ex
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 7,000
bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
24 to CO bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. 1 Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, 070 bushels of flax, 700 bush
els of barley all at mnrket prices
well, figure this out for yourself nt the
market price. I sold 3,100 bushels of
wheat nt $1.74, am holding the re
mainder for $2.00. Also nil the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices."
Intelligent farming pays always ac
cording to Alex. Wattle, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con
tention thnt he hns "made good."
In 1014 Mr. Wattle threshed 40 bush,
els to tho acre from n 30-ncrc crop
This sold for $1.00 per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, lnbor, twine,
threshing nnd freight, left a clear profit
of $30 per ncre, or a total of $1,500.
From last year's crop of 34 acres, Just
sold, ho received after freight had been
deducted, $1,870.94. Advertisement.

EGGS AND MARKET CHICKENS
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottcs and
Rhode Island Reds Are Most Pop
ular American Breeds.
American markets prefer fowls that
are medium size, thnt have short
plump bodies nnd yellow flesh nnd
legs. The breeds that carry tlieso re
quirements arc tho Wyandottcs, Ply
mouth ltock8 nnd Ithode Island Beds,
says u writer lu Indlnna Farmer. One
who wishes to combine tho selling of
eggs and market poultry will muko no
mistake If hu chooses ono of theso
breeds.
The smaller breeds of owls thoso
of the Leghorn class Ma not ns de
sirable as n mnrket fowl, for tho rea
sons that they have small bodies nnd
do not fatten readily. Some markets
discriminate against Leghorns, qulto
often the prices offered being four or

flvos cents under the figures given for
the lurgcr fowls. On tho other hand,
if one expects to obtain the greatest
posslblo Income from eggs, it certain
ly would bo advisable for hlin to
handle tho smaller fowls. As a class,
Leghorns lay better than tho larger
fowls and consumo less feed. A Leg
horn pullet will reach laying maturity
a month enrller than will pullets of
the larger breeds.
Tho larger breeds, such as Lnng
shans nnd Cochins, are not raised ex
tensively for tho reason that they nro
considered poor layers. In somo sec
tions of the country, where lnrgo
roasting chickens nnd capons are In
demand, they are profitably grown.
EGGS ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Should Be Important Source of In
come From Farm Flock Sell
Broilers During Spring.
Eggs for market should be tho mo3t
Important source of income from the
farm flocl?, according to M. C. Kllpnt
lick of the Ohio college of agriculture.
There Is a steadily Increasing demand
for fresh eggs of good quality at profit
able prices. In nddltlon eggs aro pro
duced with less labor than other poul
try products nnd nro more economical
ly marketed.
Poultry for market should bo tho
second source of income. Under pres
ent conditions tho larger part of tho
poultry meat produced on most farms
lstn by-product produced nnd sold With
littlo regard to tho cost of production.
Tho poultrymnn should plan his work
so that while producing eggs for mnr
ket ho may obtain considerable rev
enue from the sale of broilers during
early spring.
GIVE CHICKENS GREEN FOOD
During Winter Months Hen Must Bo
Given Something to Take Place
of Bugs and Insects.
One renson why eggs nro not laid In
tho winter months, even where thero
nro pullets, is that tho summer supply
of worms, bugs and insects is cut off,
and no meat substitute is given to
take their place.
Tho hen Is an omnivorous feeder,
requiring both meat and vegetables.
WHITEWASH FOR HENHOUSE
Makes It Lighter, Cleaner and Moro
Pleasant and Healthful for Flock
Clean Walls First.
A good coat ot whitewash on the In
terior of the henhouse will muko it
lighter, cleaner und more pleasant und
healthful for the flock, but bo sure und
clean the walls thoroughly beforo np

BUILD FLOOR HIGH AND DRY
It Should Bo at Least Foot Above

High and dry is n good rule to fol
low in poultry-house floor construc
tion. Tho floor should bo built at least a
foot nbovo tho surrounding ground ns

Ing snows nr heavy rains.
DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
as the Frost Starts to. Como
Out of the Ground.
Nothing adds moro Immediate value
to our farm laud than accessibility to
markets, such connecting link between
tho farm nnd mnrket being n good
road. Tho early dragging of our dirt
roads 1b certainly to bo commended.
.Tust us soon as the frost begins to
como out of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This is not n laborious job, n good
team can put tho road between him
nnd tho first crossing toward town,
even if hnlf a mile nwny, In good con
dition In a half day, and ho will snvo
tunny times tho cost of such lnbor or
expense during tho year. Besides tho
additional value it adds to the farm,
thero Is that personal pride thnt wo nil
owe to every community, and especial
ly to ourselves.
GRADING AND ROLLING ROADS
Steel Device Invented to Correct Cer
tain Degree Fault of Drags on
Dry Highways.
Split logs and drags nnd commer
clnlly manufactured drags Involving
tho basic principle of Mr. D. Ward
King's simple split-log drng, have
done much for tho dirt roads of the
nation, and these mako up the bulk
of tho mileage of tho country roads of
this nation. The originator, of this
typo of drng advocated their use while
the road was still muddy, to "puddle"
tho dirt of tho rond's surface nnd so
make it more, waterproof as well as to
smooth tho surface of tho road. This
Is the best time to use thwn, for then
they accomplish theso two tasks so
Important to tho making of a good
dirt rond. But for some reason or oth
er tho bulk of users of road drags per
sist in using them only after tho Biir
faco of the road Iiob becomo dry and
rough after a rain, simply to smooth
It up.
When used In this way, all tho drags
of this type hnvo ono basic fault; they
leave, a ridge of looso dirt In the cen
ter of tho road. If tho weather con
tinues dry nnd hot, this soon dries
and pulverizes Into dust, to bo blown
about with the shifting winds. If it
rains, tills looso dirt quickly absorbs
u large amount of water and turns
Into mud much quicker than It would
have been it it hud been packed firm
nnd hard, instead of being loose and
porous. Ilerowlth Is shown n drawing
of n steel drng of this same kind
which is designed to correct to n cer
tain degree nt least this fault of drugs
when used on dry ground. It is de

drawn into tho middle of tho road by
the smoothing action of the drag when
the road Is dry.
Just back of tho "delivery" end of
both blades to tho drag is a hinged
roller for tho purpose of further pul
verizing nnd nlso of packing this loose
dirt. Ono lever controls tho cutting or
dragging blades so they can be set
at whatever unglo Is desired, to regu
late the degree of .cutting wlilch Ih

Speaking of grading operations, the
