From 5143 to a Competence in

F. 3. Chambcrhiln tolls a story of his
efforts before moving to Canada In
1010 to make n living. It was hard
work, lie IiikJ ho many "tips nii
downs" thnt ho became dispirited bo
fore ho learned of tho success of for
mer neighbors of his who wore doing
well tip In Canada. Ho Hold his hold
ings for n song, and had a sale of whnt
effects he hnd. When lio straightened
up with Ills storekeeper and paid a
few debts ho found that ho had $143
In cash, a good constitution, a wlfo
and live children. Ho had saved souiu
few things from tho sale. Those ho
tut Into a car with tho .effect of u
couple of others, who llko him wcro
going to Canada. Ho went Into tho
Gem Colony In Alberta In 1010. bought
n piece of land and commenced opera
tions. The money ho placed In the
bank, nnd started one of his boys out
to cam enough money to supply tho
table. The older boy used his wages
to break up the sod on tho 100 ncrea.
But let Mr. Chamberlain tell tho rest
of tho story, which he has signed over
his own signature. Ho says: "I rented
70 acres and hired It put Into wheat,
throRhcd 23 wagon loads for my share.
We lived In tho granary two years.
"The first of December. 1918, I laid
the concrete foundation for n twenty
five hundred dollar house and com
pleted It tho last of January. I have
nine head of horses and mules, five
bend of cattle, fifteen pieces of ma
chinery, seven outbuildings paid for
and half Interest In a thrashing ma
chine. This Is an old grandfather's
story, as my son-ln-lnw came with four
children from Idaho last March nnd
bought 320 acres C. V. It. Irrigated
lalid nnd wo helped hm develop 200
ncres of It. They can't say nround
here, 'everybody works but father.' "

There aro more stories of success
In Western Canada. There's that of
Allnn Nicholson of Ilnzolbrldgc. Mani
toba. In spenklng of It ho snys: "I
shall never regret coming to Mani
toba. I came here seventeen years ago.
I think It was In the spring of 1003.
My old homo was at Lo Mars. Plym
outh county. Washington township,
Iowa, where I had been farming for a
good many yenrs. I had a fnrm of
2-18 acres, of which I owned 80 ncres
nnd rented 100. When I left In 1003
I sold my equity In the fnrm for $70.00
per ncrc. Tho nearest station to my
place was Dalton, nnd my old neigh
bors there will remember me very well.
"When I enmo to Cnnada I rented
three-quarters of a section at South
Plympton, ne.n Springfield, Mnnltoba.
After n yenr or two's experience at
renting I bought my present farm of
320 acres, and am now engaged In
mixed farming. I have alwnys had
good crops since I came here, nnd
some of them have been bumper
crops.
"If I went back to tho United States
today I could take back $5.00 or $0.00
to, every $1.00 that I brought Into tho
the country. My land today Is worth
from $7f5.00 to $85.00 an aero, nnd In
addition to my grain growing I have
mndo n speclnlty of lilgli-gnido Per
cheron horses, purebred Shorthorn
cattle and purebred Berkshire hogs, I
havo had uniform good luck In con
nection with my stock, nnd todny I
would not sell my farm for a cent less
thnn $30,000.
"The older settlers of Lo Mars, Iown,,
will remember mo very well. I was
greatly Impressed with the country
when I mndo my first visit hero In
1003, nnd that Impression has been
strengthened all tho time I hnvo been
here.
"Tho cllmato ngrces with us all. no
foro 1 enmo hero my doctor's bills
.were something awful. I had no
sooner got one paid than I was duo
for another one. Since we hnvo been
Mnnltoba $50.00 would pay all our
doctor's bills for tho last soventeen
years. j
"I think 1 am doing my old friends a
kindness In letting them know how
well I have done since I came here.
Tills Is certainly n country of opportu
nities. I havo had no more good luck
than falls to the fortuno of any ordi
nary person, nnd 1 nm sntlslled I could
never nave uono as wen had I re
mained In tho old home. 1 shnll be
pleased nt nny tlmo to glvo Informa

Bangor, Mo. The rate nt which Ca
nadian and Scotch whiskies are Mowing
over the northern border Into Maine
proves that enforcement of tho federal
prohibition law hasn't got Into Ita
strldo as yet, for never In nil the his
tory of theoretical droughts have oases
been greener, moro numerous or closer
together In tills pioneer dry stnto than
right now, when there Is moro law than
ever before, twice as many "enforcers"
and Increased pennltles.
Trainmen who come down say that
whisky of all grades and oceans of
puro grnln nlcohol nre flowing over the
border nt a hundred places, and thnt ut
four principal points the alcoholic In
vasion amounts to a flood. These four
points- nro Vnn Buren, opposite the
New Brunswick town of St. Leonards,
on tho St. John river; Fort Kent, which
lias easy ncccss to the Canadian vlllngo
of Clare via a suspension footbridge;
Fort Fairfield, which Is but nine miles
distant from the Now Brunswick town
of Andover, and Iloulton, which Is a

Woodstock.
Only Occasional Seizures.
Occasionally the revenue ofllcers
seize n wagon or sled load of whisky
coming ovor tho International bridge
from St. Leonnrds or over the Ice nt
porno more obscure locality, but noth
ing Is snld nbout tho great number of
"booze" chariots that get by the gov
ernment's lookouts and which keep the
speakeasies of Aroostook or tho bar
rooms of Bangor supplied. Also, the
St. John river being frozen good and
solid for its entire length, men and
tenms can cross nnywhero In tho river's
100-mllo stretch along the border, so
thnt, as tho rovenue men themselves
admit, a standing army with sentinels
every fifty feet would be required to
shut out tho flood.
There Is so much moro money to bo
made In bringing In "booze," even a
few bottles at a time, that hundreds
of woodsmen have quit swnmplng roads
and chopping trees for the rum-running
business, and nlncty-nlno In 100 of
them, knowing tho country thoroughly,
get by with their goods.

Canadian whiskies that can be bought

Aroostook county nt $0 nnd In Bangor
nt $8, while genuine Scotch Is $1 In
New Brunswick, $8 In Aroostook and
$12 to $15 In Bangor. Pure grain nlco

BREEDING PAYS IN' POULTRY
Records of Three Flocks of Leghorns
Show Specifically Value of
Purebred Males.
(Prepared by the United Suites Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That the" value of purebred males
counts as much In poultry raising as
in stock raising Is shown by the rec
ords of three'' flocks of Leghorns, the
data for which have been supplied the
United States department of agricul
ture by the Nortli Carolina experiment
station. Flock 1. the egg production
of which Is Included In these records,
consisted of common hens : flock 2 was
Purebred White Leghorn Cockerel.
produced by breeding these hens to
common mnles; flock 3 was produced
by breeding flock 1 to a rooster from
a high-producing hen. The following
year the orlglnnl flock laid 89 eggs a
hen ; flock 2 laid an average of 88 eggs
a hen; and flock 3 laid an average of
130 eggs a hen. Tills Increase of 54
per cent In one year tells very specifi
cally the benefits of using n purebred
male. But the percentages alone do
not tell the whole story, for a big pro
portion of the Increase came at a sea
son May and June when the produc
tion of flocks 1 nnd 2 was relatively
low and the prices were good.
POULTRY CULLING PAYS WELL
In One Demonstration In Iowa County
609 Hens Out of Flock of 1,548
Were Discarded.
In poultry culling demonstrations
held on tho farms of the farm bureau

OOO hens were culled out of a total of
1,548 In tho flocks, nccordlng to the
United States department of agricul
ture. The average number of eggs
laid a day by the entire flocks before
culling was 401.5, and the average
number of eggs laid a day by the 939
hens left nfter culling was 340.0. The
average number of eggs for ten hens
a day before culling was 2.G; after
culling, 3.5. The average number of
eggs laid a day by 303 of the culled

WASHING WILL INJURE EGGS
Gelatinous Film of Shell That Keeps
Out Air and Germs Is Removed
Keep Nests Clean.
Eggs should not be wnshed as this
removes theclatlnous film of tho shell
that keeps out air and germs. The
nests should be kept clean so thnt the
eggs wIIJ have no chance to become
soiled, as removing dirt by washing
will allow molds and germs to enter
the egg and hasten Its spoiling. Exten
sion Division, North Dakota Agricul
tural College.
As grass makes up the bulk of feed
for geese, It Is doubtful whether It
pnys to raise them unless good grass
range Is available during the summer.
The ben that has five range on a
farm In summer tlnds these same
things and that Is one reason why neg
lected fnrm flocks lay well In summer
and very poorly at other times.
The results found by experiment
seem to prove the contention of some
Leghorn breeders that their birds are
light eaters In comparison with some
othor breeds.
If a good lot of well-matured pullets
or well-moulted early hens are on
hand, nnd If they nre healthy and
vigorous, all that Is required to obtain
n good egg yield Is, the right kind of
care and feed.
.
There Is' no one kind of grain that
alone will furnish all of the different
food elements required to maintain
the body of the hen In good condition
nnd also furnish the material of which
eggs nre made. "
