The Future of Great Possibilities.
Rome Idea of the grent wealth that
the Western Cnnndn farmer hiul In
view a few ytars ago Is now being real
lied. Tho ninount received from the
Balo of wheat, oats, barley, flax aud
rye tH 1017 was $270,000,000, while the
Bales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted $-10,000,000 additional. Of this
Bum hogs alono gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The Increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 0 million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, Is be
ing, spent In Improvements In farm
property, purchasing additional land,
buying tractors, automobiles, aud Im
proving homo conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furni
ture, pianos, buying. Victory bonds,
paying up old debts, etc.
Over five hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta In 1017. One
Implement agent reports that tho In
crease In his business In 1017, over
that of 1010. was caual to" tho total
business In 1015. It Is tho same story
all over the country. And It Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
nrnlrle provinces, but tho largo In
crease In tho number of settlers; the
Improvement In tho extent of the cul
tivated areas and agricultural produc
tion; tho Increase in value of which
over 1010 was $77,000,000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made In .agriculture In Western
Canada Is but the beginning which
marks the future of the greatest agri
cultural country on tho continent,
showing a future of great possibilities.
There arc millions of acres yet un
tilled, and of land ns good as any of
that which Is now giving Its owners a
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that In many cases
represent the cost of tho land, with all
cultivation costs Included. It Is true
that tho cost of production has In
creased during tho past few years, but
the price of the product has also In
creased to a figure which leaves a
large balance to the credit of the pro
ducer. The following table shows how this
works out. - 1013 10f7

Proper Construction and Maintenance
of Roads Demanded by Condi,

"That the effective conduct of tho

proper construction and maintenance
of the highways of the country Ih n
plain statement of facts," asserts
Chairman George 1 Coleman of tho
American Association of Stnte High
way Officials.
"Never before has thero been such
urgent need of a comprehensive nnd
definite policy for road and-strect con
struction and maintenance as Is the
case at present, and, In making their
request to tho United States govern
ment to formulate and promulgate at'
the earliest hour a plan which shall
be countrywide In Its character, the,
state highway ofllclals believe that
they are expressing tho concensus oil
opinion of all citizens Interested li
roads progress Intended to encompass
tho greatest economic and military
value In conserving tho resources ot
tho country nnd facilitating the high
ways transportation of freight.
"In our appeal to V. O. AieAOoo,
director general of railroads, we havq
Included n special petition that freight
cars shall bo furnished early In tho
spring for transportation of the neces
sary materials entering Into tho build
lug of main artery roads which com

tho director general will recognize tho
Interrelated needs of railroads and.

The main roads of Connecticut have,

Is occasionally needed in such amounts
that tho section forces are unable to
perform It without neglecting other du

QUARTERS FOR DAIRY CALVES
To Prevent Bumping and Jostling of
Young Animals Small Pens
Should Be Provided.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Small calves should not ho bumped
and jostled about. An easy way to
prevent this Is to provide small pens,
not less than four by six feet In size,
In each of which n calf may bo kept
for the first two weeks. The pens
should be fitted with feed boxes for
grnln and racks for hay. After tho
calf Is old enough to run with tho
others It Is placed with them In a
larger pen. Stanchions nro fixed on
one side of this pen to provldo for tho
separato feeding of tho cnlvcs, so ns
to lnsuro thnt ench receives Its proper
care. Hacks for hay should also be
placed within easy reach of tho calves.
Too much cmnhasls cannot bo laid
upon the necessity of having light, dry
quarters for tho calves. Bedding al
ways should be abundant and should
be changed often, In order that - tho
pen always may bo dry. Lack of at
tention to theso ronttors is very likely
to allow tho development of tho vari
ous calf dlscnscs.
After tho calf Is a few weeks old, It
can stand considerable cold If It Is
kept dry and hns dry quarters. Pro
vision ulso should bo made to allow ,
the calves plenty of exercise. A small
paddock or pasture adjoining the calf
stables Is excellent for this purpose.
Except for the very young ones, calves
may bo let out In the excrclso lot for
a short period each day when tho
weather Is not too cold or stormy.
If the calves aro kept together In
a large pen It Is very difficult to feed
them by hand unless they are tied.
When they are looeo the milk often Is

epillcd, and the lnrger calves get
part of the smaller ones' share. Very
simple stanchions may bo constructed
to prevent losses of milk and lnsuro
the equal distribution of tho feed. To
prevent tho calves from sucking ono
another they should ho kept in tho
stanchions for some tlmo after feeding.
A calf stanchion mny bo constructed
of cheap or scrap lumber. It Is usu

SANITARY SHED FOR MILKING
Cows Should Be Kept Clean and Ud
ders Wiped With Damp Cloth
to Keep Out Dirt.
Tho cows should be kept clean and
milked in a place free from dust. If
the udders of tho cows are wiped with
a damp cloth It will prevent dirt, dan
druff and hair from .falling Into the
milk with their millions of bacteria.- A
covered or small-top milk pull should
always be used In milking. It keeps
out more than half of the germs.

TO WIN THE BATTLE FOR UHEKTY
The Food Controllers of the United States and Canada are asking for
greater food production. Scarcely 100,000,000 bushels of wheat are avail
able to be sent to the allies overseas before the crop harvest. Upon the
efforts of the United States and Canada rests the burden of supply.
Eviry Available Tillable Aorc Must Contributes Evory Avallablt
Farmer aiu Farm Hand Must Assist
Western Canada has an enormous acreage to be seeded, but man powei
is short, and an appeal to the United States allies is for more men for seed

Canada's Wheat Production Last Yaar was 225,000,000 Bushclt; thi
Demand From Canada Alon for 1918 Is 400,000,000 Dushels
To secure this she must have assistance. She has the land but needs
the men. The Government of the United States wants every man who can
effectively help, to do farm work this year. It wants the land in the United
States developed first of course; but it also wants to help Canada. When
ever we find a man we can spare to Canada's fields after ours are supplied,
we want to direct him there.
Apply to our Employrneat StrrJce, and we will tell you where you can belt ienr
the combined interests.
Western Canada's help will be required not later than May Sth. Wages to com
petent help, 50.00 a month and up, board and lodging.
Tlioie who respond to this appeal will get a warm welcome, good wages, good
board and find comfortable homei. They will get a rate of one cent a mile from Canadian
