FLUNO AWAY LAND Amazing Grants of Territory to Royal Favorites ALL OF CANADA ONCE A GIFT It Was Handed Over Bodily by James I to Lord Stirling Who Didnt Know Enough to Keep It The Hudson Bay Companys Famous Present America has been freely parceled out In gifts since Columbus first set eyes upon the new world Most of the Unit ed States territory has been at some time or other handed over to public and private companies New York for example fifty years after it had been sold for something like 25 was pre sented with other lands to the Duke of York by his brother the king and the name of the city is a witness this day to that transaction The duke granted New Jersey to somebody else and a few years before the kinghad carved out Maryland for Lord Baltimore Pennsylvania was given to William Penn the Quaker who founded the state in payment It is said of a debt that Charles II owed Penns father and the same monarch gave both North and South Carolina to eight London gentlemen who stayed at home called themselves the lords proprietors and lived on the rents until the people re fused to pay any more and George II took over the colonies The story of Colonel Talbot at the be ginning of -the last century is one of the romances of Canadian history The colonel went out in 1793 as an aid-de-camp to the governor and tho founding of a colony became the ruling passion of his life He was given 100 000 acres which grew later toGSOOOO on condition that he place a settler on every 200 acres Today this territory is occupied by some of the most flour ishing towns in the Dominion and at the beginning of Queen Victorias reign Colonel Talbot who was then still liv ing was the recognized chief of twen ty eight -towns all of which had ben given to him years before as unoccu pied land Prince Edward Island covering 3000 square miles and embracing such flourishing towns as Georgetown Cliar lottetown and Princetown was given away in 1797 to absentee proprietors and was bought back again on the or ganization of the Dominion of Cana da for 100000 Tho Canadian com pany founded in 1S2G received a grant of 1000000 acres and bought 2300000 more at the rate of half a crown an acre The mention of the Hudsons Bay company recalls what Is probably the most famous gift of territory in his tory In 1670 Charles II gave Prince Rupert by royal charter territory 200 or 300 miles wide around the eastern and southern shores of Hudsons bay in addition to a vast empire of forest and prairie Ruperts Land as the territory was called ultimately stretch ed across Canada from the Atlantic ond of Hudsons strait to the shores of the Pacific As rent for this ter ritory covering 2S00000 square miles the company paid to the king each year two elks and two black bea vers Something over forty years ago the Canadian confederation took over the companys monopoly for 3001000 but the company retained a twentieth part of its lands The original capital of the company was 10500 and in two centuries its income from furs was 20000000 But the mostamazing gift ever made since the world began was surely that made by James I to Lord Stirling the poet who was then his favorite On Sept 21 1G21 King James who must have been extraordinarily deficient in geography made Lord Stirling then Sir William Alexander a present of the whole of Canada The gift which included Nova Scotia and Newfound land was confirmed by

appropriate to say something against the fly He is not only a nuisance but a danger When a fly lights on your plate at dinner to help you eat he is carrying filth and germs from a great many different sources There are few contagious diseases that the fly does not carry Flies in milk may mean the death of some infant or invalid who uses it for food We do not see people fall dead from the effects of flies but they die just PLANTE - jrv D THICKLY Nebraska Experiment Station Gets Best Results From Hopes Yellow Dent With Learning a Close Second Rate and Time ot Planting By C W Pugsley Professor of Agronomy and Farm Management Ne braska Experiment Station widespread interest which is TKE aroused in the silo and the uses of ensilage warrants Its thorough discussion It is easy to theorize and to even advance what seem to be plausible reasons for taking certain stands but it is harder to demonstrate that these stands are right in every re spect The demand for agricultural knowledge has been so pit during the last few years that ag writers have been tempted to give to the public as facts what seems rea sonable Some things which look nice at a distance will not bear close In spection It is only by careful and painstaking work that we are able to get down to the bottom of matters and build agriculture upon that solid foundation which it deserves The matter of growing corn for the silo is one of the subjects which comes in this class In order to get some statistics which would be of value I wrote to twelve experiment stations in an effort to find out if pos sible some absolute facts in refer ence to the things pertaining to the growing of the corn The first thing to be considered should be the variety of corn Of the twelve states respond ing those in the east all favored large and late varieties and a number of them mentioned St Charles White far seems the best and the Learning which is high up in the scale are both corns well adapted to this section of the country for grain purposes The rate of planting is the best thing to be considered in connection with the growing ensilage The sta tions report on this particular point range as follows Nine states plant one fourth thicker than for grain pur poses two states plant one half thick er and one state plants one third thicker This particular point will be taken up by the Nebraska Experiment station next year in connection with the continuation of a test carried on last year The varieties used will be the most promising of the sixteen tested during the last season The following quotations from Hoards Dairyman may throw some light on this subject Professor Haecker of rfee Minnesota Experiment Station gets admirable results by sowing corn so thickly that small or no ears devel op The analysis of this corn is about the same as that which has developed ears and can be accounted for in this way The plant takes up its nutri ents from the soil and when the ears start to form the elements are taken from the stalk for the purpose of forming the ear and very little if any nutriment is taken from the soil after this period BUILD THE SILO WITH THE IDEA OF CONVENIENCE IN MIND as being grown extensively One state said that St Charles White was shipped in in carload lots from Mis souri and was known in that state as silo corn In all of the central west ern states the varieties used were the same as those grown in the localities where the silos are located In fact the stations recommended that the farmers should use the same varieties as they were using on their farms for the production of grain Last year an experiment was started by the Department of Agronomy and Farm Management and the Dairy De partment of the Nebraska Experiment Station to determine if possible what variety would prove best for ensilage It is planned to have all of the sam ples analyzed both at the time of filling the silo and when they are taken out and fed to the stock during the winter Naturally we do not have the analysis of these varieties at hand for the Dairy Department is just now beginning to feed the ensilage used for this test There were six teen varieties grown and there was quite a considerable difference in the yield from the different plats A half acre plat was taken as the standard The variety which stood at the top was Hogues YellowDent This vari ety has been carefully grown on the sta tion farm for a number of years The second in the list was Learning grown from seed secured about forty miles from the station from a careful corn breeder Whether tha variety yielding the largest amount of dry weight is the best for ensilage purposes cannot be determined by the data at hand The feeding tests with the cows and the chemical analysis may show quite a considerable difference The work of other stations in the central west and one years experi ment at the Nebraska station seem to indicate that the variety best adapted to ensilage purposes here would be the one grovm longest in the locality The Hogues Yellow Dent which so From what has been done at other stations and from the experience of the majority of practical farmers it seems safe to conclude that corn for ensilage purposes may well be planted somewhat thicker than where it is wanted for grain In producing corn for market the yield of grain is the test of its usefulness In producing corn for ensilage the yield of nutri ents in both stalk and ear will deter mine the value of the variety There is considerable feeding value in every stalk and blade of corn and it seems quite probable that it is more econom ical to produce digestible nutrients by growing more of the stalk and leaf than by attempting to get a variety of corn which will yield a large number of first class ears The next thing to be considered is the time of planting This depends somewhat upon the use to which the ground is to be put after the corn is taken off If it is desired to seed win ter wheat early planting would be ad vantageous A corn plant usually has a definite time for maturing depend ing somewhat upon the condition of the season Lack of rain will make the plant mature earlier but the time of filling the silo will depend largely upon the variety of corn used and the rate at which it Is planted in the spring From the replies received from other stations eleven of the Hvelve states recommended planting at the same time as for field corn One state farther south Kentucky plants the ensilage corn three weeks later It is the custom among prac tically all Nebraska farmers to plant the ensilage corn at the same time as the corn for grain purposes and with our present information this is to be recommended as the best method Ensilage corn should be planted as close to the silo as possible for this will reduce by quite a per cent the labor of filling the silo A short haul will enable one or two less teams and drivers to be used the same The fly often escapes blame when he is really the guilty one
