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."

A man who cannot succeed with a

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

The great advantage of the cream
separator over the various systems of
cream-raising is that thick or thin

Home-grown seeds, pure, free from
weeds and found by local experience
to afford satisfactory yields, are gen

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

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

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

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

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

to enlist the co-operation of your
neighbors. 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.

completed by placing the paste in a

Rest for Tuberculosis Patients.
Dr. Joseph H. 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.
He sipped his milk in silence
through a straw, shook some change
out of bis pocket to the waiter, and,
reaching down with his mouth for the
