WESTERN CANADA'S GOOD CROP PROSPECTS YIELDS OF WHEAT WILL LIKELY BE 25 TO 30 BUSHELS PER ACRE. In an interview with Mr. W. J. White, who has charge of the Cana dian government immigration offices In the United States, and who has re cently made an extended trip through the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche wan and Alberta In Western Canada. He said that every point he visited he was met with the one report, uni versally good crops of wheat, oats and barley. There will this year be a much increased acreage over last year. Many farmers, who had but one hundred acres last year, have in creased their cultivated and seeded acreage as much as fifty per cent. With the prospects as they are at present, this will mean from $12 to $15 additional wealth to each. He saw many large fields running from 200 to 1,000 acres In extent and it ap peared to him that there was not an aero of this but would yield from 20 to 25 or 30 bushels of wheat per acre, while the oat prospects might safely be estimated at from 40 to 70 bushels per acre. In all parts of the west, whether it be Manitoba, Saskatche wan or Alberta, north and south, east and west, and in the districts where la6t year there was a partial failure of crops, the condition of all grain is universally good and claimed by most of the farmers to be from one to two weeks in advance of any year for the past ten or twelve years. It does not seem that there was a single foot of the ground that was properly seeded that would not produce. There are those throughout western Canada who predict that there will be 200,000,000 bushels of wheat raised there this jear, and if the present faorabIe conditions continue, there does not seem any reason why these prophesies should not come true. There is yet a possibility of hot winds reducing the quantity in some parts, but with the strongly rooted crops and fhe sufficiency of precipita tion that the country has already been favored with, this piobability is reduced to a minimum.. The prices of fariii lands at the present time are holding steady and lauds can probably still be purchased at the price set this spring, ranging from $15 to $20 per acre, but with a harvested crop, such as is expected, there is no reason why these same lands should not be worth from $20 to $25 per acre, with an almost abso lute assurance that by next spring there will still be a further advance in prices. Mr. White says that these lands are as cheap at today's figures with the countiys proven wortu as they were a lew years ago at half the price when the general public had but a vague idea of the producing quality of western Canada lands. The land agents at the different towns along the line of railway are very acme. A large number of acres aie turned over weekly to buyers from the different states in the south, where lands that produce no better are sold at from $150 to $200 per acre. The homestead lands are becoming scarcer day by day and those who are unable to purchase, preferring to homestead, are directing their atten tion to the park acres lying in the northerly part of the central dis tricts. It has been found that while these are somewhat more difficult to bring under the subjugation of the plow, the soil is fully as productive as in the districts farther south. They possess the advantage that the more open prairie areas do not possess; that there is on these lands an open acreage of from fifty to seventy per cent of the whole and the balance is made up of groves of poplar of fair size, which offer shelter for cattle, while the grasses are of splendid strength and plentiful, bringing about u more active stage of mixed farming than can be carried on in the mors open districts to the south. The emigration for the past yeai has been the greatest in the history of Canada and it is keeping up in record shape. The larger number of those, who will go this year will be those who will buy lands nearer the line of railways, preferring to pay a little higher price for good location than to go back from the line of rail ways some 40 or 50 miles to home stead. .Mr. White has visited the different agencies throughout the United States and he found that the correspondence at the various offices has largely in creased, the number of callers ii greater than ever. Any one desiring information re garding western Canada should apply at once to the Canadian Government Agent nearest him for a copy of the "Last Best West." Awful!

Keep weeds out of strawberries. Farm teams should have extra care. Horses should not be checked up when at work. Wild mustard causes but little trou ble in the corn belt. Ensilage materially reduces the cost of raising and fattening cattle. Sometimes old strawberry beds will pay to keep for another fruiting. Ordinarily the best animal food for hens at this time of jfear is cut green bone. For the women who love plants there is nothing so pleasant as Indoor gardening. A sanitary stable Is absolutely necessary for a uniform quality of good butter. It costs lees to raise strawberries in a new bed, and they are of better size and flavor. A man who cannot succeed with a scrub flock will hardly make a success with a pure bred herd. Dairy farmers should not raise or buy timothy hay for cows. Clover or alfalfa is much better as a milk pro ducer. With the majority of farmers the pasture provides the sole summer feed for all the animals except the work horses. A patch of rutabagas or an acre of pumpkins will make the cows remem ber you with increased yields next fall and winter. The temperature of the cream when in the churn should range from 52 to 56 degrees, and it should be churned for 30 to 40 minutes. The sheep that, shears ten pounds or over, an animal of good size and strong back, with proper attention will make money for its owner. The great advantage of the cream separator over the various systems of cream-raising is that thick or thin cream, as desired, may be obtained. Home-grown seeds, pure, free from weeds and found by local experience to afford satisfactory yields, are gen erally to be preferred over all others. Summer selection should be kept up until the fowls are fully grown. Dispose of every little runt that shows up. because they are not worth keep ing. Get the horseradish into the ground just as soon as possible. Plant the roots two or three Inches deep with the thick end up. The soil must be very rich. All infertile eggs have a value. While It is unlawful to sell these eggs we find that when well boiled and mixed with cornmeal they make ex cellent food for chicks. To give the hen heat and energy, we use carbonaceous matter (carbo hydrates starches). The two must be mixed. Fats, to a more or less ex tent, can be found in every article of food. A gallon tin fruit can with holes made a half inch from the open end and inverted over an inch deep pie pan makes an Ideal drinking fountain. Use the scrub brush on the pan once in awhile, too. When corn is several inches high, put in the sulky cultivator set to mellow the ground fully five inches deep when corn Is small and shal low; when stalks are half grown and roots spread across the rows. The Pekln duck is very hardy, a good layer and fattens quickly. The ducklings, if well cared for should be ready for market in ten weeks. They should be killed before the pen feath ers begin to grow. Poultry has the added advantage in the rotation of not actually requiring the exclusive use of the soil, as is the case with all other crops. Grow your crops, corn or hoe crop, and the chick ens may occupy the same land, and both corn and chickens will be better for it. Pigs are a necessary part of the farm dairy just as they are of the farm feed lot. Whether you are feed ing for beef or milk the pig may be depended upon to make a nice little bunch of money on the side. And. as in the case of other farm animals, the pig is a money-making machine which does Its work according to qual ity. According to the figures given out by tb government it costs the farmer in the Upper Mississippi Talley an average of $14.07 to raise an acre of corn east of the river, and $10.5S ia the states to the west of that dividing line. The difference in cost is due to the high value of the more eastern lands, and consequently higher rental value. Alfalfa roots are fin and tender. Iron sulphate solution kills dandelions. The horses should nave free to salt at all times. Goslings must be driven In wken a bard shower comes up. A rich sandy loam with day snheoll. is the best ground for berries. Do not allow a dying or worthless tree to stand in or near an orchard. Beef, meal and meat scrap are fed by many poultrymen with excellent results. Club root of cabbage is one of the most annoying yet easily controlled of diseases. The matter of growing the corn and filling the silo is of great and growing importance. Cattle on pasture can be fed grain and made ready for market early In the summer. Wheat and oats In equal parts ground together are excellent for chicks of any age. As soon as the corn is up, or even before, go over the field with a weed er or smoothing harrow. Flaxseed may be broadcasted, but is generally drilled at the rate of from two to three pecks to the acre. A small amount of animal food Is required by all poultry, especially dur ing the time of egg production. Try to see that the chicks are not fed until at least 48 hours old: then give water first, feed afterwards. Failures in the sheep business, in nine cases out of ten, may be traced to overconfidence and "plunging." The farmer who makes milk pro duction his business is a dairyman, and he needs the best of dairy cows. If one has pigs that have to be kept in a yard all summer, sweet corn Is the best green feed he can grow for them. Barley and kaffir corn are both good poultry feed, but not essential when one has plenty of the above mentioned grains. Dairymen doing a small business connected with farming cannot live up to the standard without increasing the cost of milk. The temperature in a brooder the first week should be 95 degrees, sec ond week 90 degrees and the third week S3 degrees is enough. Corn silage and alfalfa make an ex cellent ration for dairy cows and good yields of milk have -been reported where nothing else was fed. Go over the young apple trees and cut off every water sprout with a sharp knife close to the trunk. Do it early and they will heal this season. It Is the early vegetable that brings the big price and the man who sticks to bis hot bed and makes good use of it always gets to market first. There are several crops which may be planted for late summer pasture which will furnish fresh, succulent green feed for all seasons of the year. Two or three days after potatoes are planted go over the field with a harrow, and continue this until the plants are several Inches above the ground. As soon as the potatoes are planted and up sufficiently to cultivate. It Is becoming customary, and necessary, to spray with some poison solution to kill the bugs. The fruiting strawberries should have all weeds and grass cut out be tween plants; take a sharp, narrow bladed hoe and cut the soil fine with out disturbing the roots. The poultry yard should be all cleared away and tidied up in June. and all coops and racks no longer in use securely stored away in some shed where they will be kept dry until next season. One can spread ashes, lime, land plaster, pulverized lime rock. etc-, etc, with the manure spreader by first putting a layer of litter in the bottom of the spreader and the fine material ontop. A remarkable thing about alflalfa is Its perennial youth. When one growth is removed another one comes on immediately to take its place, and so continually as long as moisture and temperature conditions are fa vorable. With the scrub hog It is "root, hog. or die," hence the long snout His nar row body aids him in getting through small fence-cracks and if he fails to find a place large enough to go through the fence, he can soon dig un der with his long snout. It is a good plan to keep outdoor brooders in a house or inclosure of some kind if it is nothing more than a muslin walled shed to protect the youngsters against the chill winds and sudden showers of early spring. In a study of the root system of wheat, made at the Langdon. N. D., sub-station it was fotfnd that the roots went to a depth of four feet four inches, while the grain was only 24 inches high. Seventy-five per cent. of the roots were at a depth of over two feet. ' "The time is coming when cement will be the universal building material on the farm. A concrete floor and wall eliminate the rodent and most vermin, and in a few years a well con structed building with bin attach ments will save enough grain to pay for the cost of construction. SILO SHOULD BE REG ARDED AS NECESSITY ON STOCK FARM Base Receptacle Is No Longer an Experiment and Is as Valuable to Man Who Breeds Stock as to Dairy man Silage Very Materially Decreases Cost of Patting Pound ox Beef Onto Feeding Steer. v We have been laboring in season and out of season to induce farmers to build silos. The silo is no longer an experiment. It has been used by dairymen with success for thirty years. It was for a long time supposed that it could only be used in dairying, says the Wallace Farmer. We have found out now that it is almost as val uable to the man who grows stock as to the man who milks cows. We are finding out that silage very materially decreases the cost of putting a pound of beef onto a feeding steer. We have found out that it is good for the ewe, for the brood sows, and for young stock of all kinds as well as for dairy cattle. The only animal on the place to which it is not safe to feed it is the horse; just why we do not know. It is perhaps entirely safe if of good qual ity, but dangerous if moldy. We are finding out still -more about silage, namely, that by using a sum mer silo,. one about half the size of the winter one, we can bridge over the droughts, which come in every coun- A Silo for a try in the civilized world at some sea son of the year. With us the most dangerous time is in July and August which are usually droughty periods, when the grass is short and flies are bad. We are finding out that by having a summer silo we can provide pasture out of the silo until the rains come in the falL Some of the readers may shake their heads at this, but we are telling them agricultural gospel truth. They may say: While we often have these dry periods in July and August, we do not always have .them. Some years we have excellent pastures. True, but your silage will keep almost as well as the fruit your wife keeps over from a year of abundance to a year of want. Last year we fed on one of the farms belonging to the Wallace family silage that was two years old. Apparently it was just as good as the year it was made. Why do we talk about it now? Be cause, if you are going to have a silo this fall for either winter or summer use. you ought to be thinking about it; not about the building of it or the cost of it. although it is worthy of thought, but where you will plant your corn to necessitate the least haul ing and diminish the expense; about what kind of silage you want, whether rich with corn or scant in corn. You can determine that by the thickness of planting. If you want silage rich in corn to fatten steers, you want to plant it as you do for the market for the maximum of ears; but if you want it to feed to the dairy cows and want a large yield of stock with small grain yield, you must olant it thick. The main reason we are talking about it now Is because to put up a silo and use it economically you want FRENCH MILK POWDER PROCESS Article Produced Found by Anmly sis to Contain All of Con stituents of Milk. Except Water. The processes currently employed for making milk powder are based upon desiccation by heat In a pro cess recently devised in France by Le comte and Lainville the action of cold is substituted for that of heat. The milk is poured into vessels similar to those which are used for producing blocks of artificial ice. and is cooled to a few degrees below the freezing point (about 28.5 deg. F.). Suitable precautions are taken to prevent the water of the milk from freezing in a solid mass and to cause it to assume the form of fine snow. The congealed milk is then placed In a centrifugal separator which revolves very rapidly. The snow crystals remain in the ma chine while the other parts of the milk are expelled in the form of the bBBbb bBbbbbbbYbv'. -jcfZ.i. aaBasjaaBBaiMyNv .BBBBBBBBBBBBBBafNabv raaaaaP't"vla KSBBSBSBSBSB: Bb SbBBbSSSBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBv " yt ySBaW sbbe bbbbbbbbbbbb:; To&ysr WAK BaBaBaBaBaT'.y: vx,?.vT"eT TIB .bbbbbbbbbb'TJ j4itVaaaaaK2Pi V lOasfc7 j' H& saaavilPeO' MM BaBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBVVt"V J vv a' . i i 'Jmz sBaBBBBBBBawwl" v ."-ev lit BaaaK"- - f Jp.

The same silage cutter and the same power will answer for two neighbors anyhow, and frequently three, but not more. Have you not a couple of neighbors who would be ben efited by having a silo? If they are not convinced of this, can you not get them to convince themselves by in vestigating it? Then can you not ar range to co-operate in buying a cut ter, and. what is quite as important, in filling the eeperate silos? Can you not agree to plant an early corn and a later variety? Suppose you cannot fill one man's silo before it is dry; you can easily remedy that by putting in water. We have done it and it works finely. You can even take the corn that stands in the field ready for husking and make good silage out of it if you put in water enough; or you can plant some sorghum and corn, and let the abun dance of moisture in the sorghum make for the deficiency in the corn. All these things are worth thinking Stock Farm. , about. What we want to impress upon your minds just now is that you cannot afford not to build a silo if you are in the stock business. You can no more do without a manure spread er or a grain drill. There are some things that are well settled over most of our territory. There are sections, say in the extreme north, where it is more of a question as to whether one should build a silo or not. because these northern farmers can grow roots to much greater advantage than we can and silge is not so practicable in a very long and cold winter on ac count of the freezing. This, however. is only in the extreme northern sec tions. Throughout the corn belt the silo should be regarded as an absolute necessity on the stock farm in every section where there is liability of sum mer drought. Onion Culture. Much labor and alertness attends the raising of a crop of onions and it takes experience to prod.re a crop successful in every particular. No beginner should attempt to raise onions from seed en a large scale. A quarter of an acre should be the maximum limit for a beginner. In most cases less would be more ad visable. This would be enough to lead him step by step into the work successfully. Danger of Early Grass. Too much early grass will physic the work horses severely, which will run them down in flesh. Farrowing Sows. Oats, wheat, bran and middlings.' with a quiet corner an.! a warm place, for the farrowing sows. soft, greasy paste, which still con tains some water. The desiccation is completed by placing the paste in a drying room heated to a moderate and uniform temperature. The milk pow der thus produced has been proved by analysis to contain all of the consti tuents of the milk, except the water, in an unaltered condition. The pro cess is equally applicable to whole milk, and to milk deprived of part or all of Its cream. Farm School Graduates.

N One year, in a certain town in Maine, a tax was levied on dogs for the first tfane. It caused quite an ex citement among the dog owners, as many of them had dogs good for noth ing except for pets.

Pratt of Boston, who was the founder of the first tuberculo sis class in the United States in the Emmanuel church in Boston claims that in the treatment of tuberculosis absolute rest, often in bed, must be extended over a period of months, be fore the consumptive should take any exercise. He says: "Prolonged rest in bed out of doors yields better re sults than any other method of treat ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients will have a better appetite, and take more food without discomfort and gain weight am strength faster than pa tients with active disease who are allowed to exercise. Complications are much less frequent. When used ic the incipient stage recovery is more rapid and surer." The One Thing Needed. "Arms and legs arc not so indis pensable, after all," remarked the man who narrowly escaped with his life in an explosion where he lost the use of both arms.
