A Cure for Hos Cholera , . Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it i ? sometimes called is a highly contagious disorder. When a hog shows any symptoms of this disease , he should be isolated at once and the pen fumigated in order to save the other hogs if possible. Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with two parts milk in a bottle and give every sick hog : i tablespoonftil of this mixture night and morning for three days.

To the Editor Sir : Doubtless ninny of your trailers will'ln- pleased to have some word from the grain fields of Western Canada , where such a large number of Americans ha\e made their home during the past few years. It is pleasing to be : : bie to report thaf gen erally the wheat yield has been good ; it will average about twenty bushels to the acre. There will be many cases where the yield will go thirty-five bushels tt > the acre , and others where fifty bushels to the acre has been .re corded. The oat and barley crop has been splendid. The prices of all grains will bring to the farmers a magnifi cent return for their labors. An in stance has been brought to my notice of a farmer in the Pincher Creek ( Southern Alberta ) district , where winter wheat is grown , who made a. net profit of $1 ! ) . . " ! an acre , or little less than the selling price of his hi nil. Thirty , forty anil fifty bushels yields are recorded there. The beauty about the lands in Western Canada is that they are so well adapted to grain-rais ing. while the luxuriant grasses that grow everywhere in abundance makes the best possible feed for fattening cattle or for those used for dairying purposes. The new homestead regulations whicli went into force September , 1908 , attracted thousands of new set tlers. It is now possible to secure GO acres in addition to the 1GO acres as a free grant , by paying $ o an acre for it. Particulars as to how to do this and as to the railway rates can be se cured from the Canadian Government agents.

Where I expected to timl frontier villages there were sulistan tially built cities ami towns with ev cry modern convenience. It was for merly supposed that the climate wa too severe for it to be thought of a an agricultural country , but its wheat raising possibilities have' been amph tested. We drew from Ontario manj of our best farmers and most progres sive citizens. Now the Americans are emigrating In greater numbers to West ern Canada.
