The census branch of tho Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed Its returns of the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about 107,000,000
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$85,000,000; in addition to this the oat,
barley and flax crops were worth an
other $35,000,000. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these,
that of Rev. Oscar L. King has been
elected, lie lives in the vicinity of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who con
template moving to. Central Canada.
Every line of the letter is Interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr. King says:
"Mr. M. V. Mclnnnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: I am well "satisfied with Al
berta. This country offers excellent
opportunities for anyone to. make a
Eood home for himself and family
if he is willing to put up with a few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But It is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on
it. This province is well fitted for
grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthful, more healthful than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
sero in winter, yet we do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
we did 5 or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
"The Government takes great inteK
est in the education of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ing schools where they are called for.
The schools, though graded differently
than those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
has been the limited and inadequate
railway facilities, but new roads are
being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
of the province. The new policy of
the Alberta government to construct
a great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
of tho country. If those new settlers
who have to go back a considerable
distance from existing railroads and
towns to find free homesteads will
but locate along the line of a project
ed railroad they will in two or three
years be near both town and railroad.
When I first came to this country
three and a half years ago the home
stead I took was 75 miles from a rail
road town; now there is a railroad 25
miles north, another 25 miles south,
and a third Is being built through my
neighborhood.

How to Boil Meat.
A recent French writer on the
science of cookery advises that in
'boiling meat the piece be first plunged
into boiling water, and that after boS
ing for a few minutes enough cold,
water be added to lower the tempera
ture to about 160 degres Fahrenheit,
at which point the meat should be al
lowed to cook for several hours. This
(odd method, which the author acknowl
edges is ditaittri sally opposed to com
mon practice, will result, he says, in
making the boiled meat as juicy as a
srnnri roast. Th reason for adoDtine
lit is that the albumen of the meat will
coagulate at once on contact with the
boiling water, and will protect the
'fibrin from solution without opposing
'the passage of heat. The meat will
thus cook slowly, after the addition of
the cold water, without becoming
tasteless, retlning all its natural juices
as when roasted.
Custard for Ices.
Make a custard with four eggs, a
quart of milk, half a pound of sugar,
and one teaspoonful of corn flour.
Mix the well-beaten eggs, the corn
flour, and the sugar to a smooth paste,
and then pour over It, stirring well all
,the time, a quart of boiling milk. Re
turn the mixture to the fire for two or
jthree minutes till it thickens, but do
not let It boil. Pour into a basin, add
any kind of flavoring desired, and
freeze In the usual way. Bear In
mind that the custard for ices must
be flavored very highly, as a great
deal of flavor is absorbed by the freez
ing process.
Tapioca Jelly.
Soak one-half a cupful of tapioca in
one cup of orange juice over night and
cook in one cup of sweet milk until
soft and transparent. Add one-half
,cup of sugar, a pinch of salt,, the
grated rind of one orange, the beaten
yolks of four eggs, one-half pint of
sweet cream, and lastly the beaten.
whites of the eggs. Pour Into a but
tered baking dish and bake in a mod-i
:erate oven for 20 minutes. Let get
cold, then run a knife around edge of1
pudding and carefully remove from
dish on to a plate. Serve with either
plain or whipped cream.
Bread Pancakes.
Break up half loaf of dry bread
enough hot water to mash well (potato
masher is best), one egg, two tea-
Ispoonfuls of sugar, .pinch of salt, one
fourth teaspoonful of soda mixed in a
Jittle sour milk, enough sour milk as
you need; batter and flour enough to
.niajse a thick batter.
