How France Has Fed Been "Before the war, a distin guished French Officer, General Maitrot, wrote a series of ar ticles in the 'Echo de Paris' to warn France, that in case of war, the French meat industry would be unable to supply the French army in the field with fresh meat, owing especially to the lack of modern refriger ating plants and of refrigerating transportation, and too, owing to the deficiency in the national herd." "Since the war began the French army has never been short of fresh meat, thanks mainly to the prosperous condi tion of the American meat in dustry, and too, to the American live stock breeders." The foregoing state ment was made by a representative of the Allies now in the United States. Another representative of the Allies said recently: "that the American packers have been of the greatest pos sible assistance to the Allies and have, by their efficient co- operation, contributed in the. utmost degree to the successful prosecution of the war."

(Prepared by tho United States Depart merit of Agriculture.) Like all other milk utensils, the sep arator should he cleaned thoroughly Immediately after each time it Is used Merely flushing tho bowl with warm water after use and taking It apart for washing but once n day Is a filthy practice and must be condemned.

Soap or soap pow der nre liable to leave a soapy film on the utensils and should uot be used Soda ash or ono df tho commercial dairy cleansing powders is satisfac tory, as either is easily rinsed off, Tho utensils should then be sterilized by menus of the farm sterilizer or boiled ADVANCEMENT FARM LAND PRICES Stories of phenomenal advancement and " prosperity in Western Canada have been told tho reading public for soruo years past. Tho stories wcro told when there wero hundreds of thous- tnds of acres of splendid land adja cent to railways nnd projected lines, which could 1)0 had on tho payment of n mere $10 entry fee, and under culti vation nnd living conditions. As was prophesied then, tho day has como when these nro few. Thcro aro still avallablo thousands of theso; they nro somo dlstnnco now from tho railways. Tho land is ns good as over, but pio neering conditions will have changed. A great many are still taking advan tage of this free offer from tho govern ment. Tho story was told when good lands near lines of rnllway could bo bought for from $8 to $10 per aero and tho prophecy raado tha t theso prices would doublo In a fow yenrs, for tno intrinsic vnluo wns far more man that That day has come raoro quickly" than expected. Thojmmensp crops of grain IhnT could Uo ra"ised lias brought about tho change, nnd tho demand for low priced lands with maximum re turns has prompted tho keen pur chaser as well as tho owner of higher priced land from which no greater re turn rculd bo looked for. Prices of lnnd In Western Cnnadn aro still ad vancing, nnd will continue to ndvanco until, of course, tho limit is reached when returns will warrant no further Increase. That day is not far distant But, In the mcnutlmc, thcro nro largo tracts of land owned by lnnd compa-, rles nnd private individuals that hnvo not felt tho advance that haB been shown In other districts. Tho oppor tunity to purchnso thcso should not bo lost sight of, and if thero nro those amongst tho renders of this article, which is nuthorrzod by the Canadian government, who wish cheap land, such lands ns produco from 25 to 10 bushels per ncre, and will pay for themselves out of ono yenr's crop, ad vantage should be taken of tho present opportunity. Coming to Alberta with his family thirteen years ago, his assets consjst lng of a small outfit and $20 In cash, Mr. O. F. Malmberg has accumulated by farming and live stock rnlslng as sets to tho value of moro thnn $300, 000,. and has a personal credit, worth on demand, $100,000. lie has not specu lated In land, but bought only to farm. Near Blackle, Alberta, ho operates 3, 100 acres of wheat land. Ho has just purchased an additional 11,500 acres near Cardston, in Southern Albcrtn. Ills personal credit enabled him to 'financo this deal in Calgary In a llttlo over three hours. Tho ranch Just pur chased is n fully equipped stock and grain ranch. At tho present time It carries a thousand head of cattlo and several hundred horses, nnd Is fully equipped with buildings, machinery, corrald, sheep sheds, dipping vats, etc. That Is a story from one district. Let us select one from n district somo hun dred or moro miles from that. "Peter A. Klusscu, who recently moved to Herbert, Snsk., from Kansas, has purchased a action of prairie land in tho Hlllsboro district, about 24 miles northwest of ITerbert, for which ho paid $12,000 cash. IIo Is erecting tem porary buildings to livo in whllo put ting the place In cultivation, nnd, this summer plans to erect good buildings on the farm and equip It for a home. Mr. Klnssen recently sold his 80-aero farm In Kansas for $15,000 nnd Is in vesting the proceeds In Canada." With the proceeds of the sale of his land In Kansas, this farmer purchased In Saskatchewan a piece eight times as largo as he hud previously been farm ing, nnd had a balance with which to purchase equipment, stock, etc., of $.V 000. Moreover ns lnnd In Saskatche wan may be expected to yield twlco ns much grain per acre, ho will bo nbto to produco sixteen times ns much as formerly. Tho nverago valuo of farm land for tho wholo of Canada, Including lnnd Improved and unimproved, together with dwelling houses, bnrng, stables and other farm buildings, Is, approxi mately $44 per aero ns compared with $41 In 1010, according to tho latest re port of tho Census nnd Statistics branch nt Ottnwn. Tho nverago valuo of land In tho Pralrlo Provinces is as follows : Manitoba $31.00 Saskatchewan 20.00 Albortn 20.70 It Is tho low prices nt which land enn bo obtained In Western Cannda which Is rendering this country such nn Important fnctor in tho production of foodstuffs at tho present time. It Is enabling men who hnvo been farm ing small areas In older districts to take up nnd farm with tho sntno capi tal areas not only mnny times ns great, but which aro also capnble of produc ing considerably larger crops to tho acre.

Save the Babies INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly reallM that of all tho children bom In civilized countries, twenty-two pr eent, or nearly ono-quartor, dlo boforo thoy reach one year; thirty-seven per cent, or more than ono-third, before thoy are five, and one-half before thoy are fifteen I We do riot hesitate to Bay that a timely una of Caetoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do wo hesitate to Bay that many of these Infantile dcathu are occasioned by tho use of narcotio preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing Byrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, rotard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Caa toria if It boars tho oignaturo of Chas. H. Fletcher p an it contains no opiates or narcotics or any Kinu. yr -S3wJ7jT Genuine Castor la always boars tho signature of fcaj? fccZc&tC; Hot Weather Hits Us Hardest in Stomach Keep a gIobq watch on your stom ach this summer.
