"po you WANT THE EARTH, OR
A PIECE OF lT?"


rapidly the development of new terri
tory follows public knowledge Of its
resources in these go-ahead days. A
given portion of country may be seem
ingly bowling wilderness to-day, yet
twelve months hence the hardy pioneers
of settlement will be firmly established
in 1t, and five years hence the wilder
ness is gone forever, transformed into
an agricultural region of inestimable
value.
This story has been told over and
over again upon the American conti-
nent, and is now being repeated once
more upon the great fertile prairies Of
Western Canada, where the millions Of
acres of valuable lands open for settle
ment are attracting an ever-increasing
army of colonists from every civilized
portion of the Globe.
Only few years ago the prairies Of
Western Canada were simply a vast
game range, yet to-day towns, villages,
settlements, farms and ranches are dot
ted all over what is unquestionably one
of the very finest agricultural sections
of this continent. The prairie region
of Canada extends from the eastern
boundary of Manitoba westward to the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains, q
distance, roughly speaking, of about one
thousand miles. Within this vast ex-
panse are comprised the great wheat
province of Manitoba, the fat lands OF
Assiniboia and the noble pastures OF
Alberta, offering homes to all who
choose to claim them, and unrivalled
facilities for following every branch of
agriculture with profit The official
crop returns for 1890 are splendid testi-
mony of the capabilities of these natur-
al grain fields and pastures, and no
matter whether the newcomer prefers
horse, cattle or sheep raising, wheat
growing, mixed or dairy farming, he
can easily find land admirably suited
to his purpose within these broad limits
and simply for the trouble of selecting
for himself what appears to be the most
desirable locality.

The Live Stock Need Care

The live stock on the farm need earnest
thought. The pigs and lambs, though
four weeks old and older, claim a dry,
sheltered sleeping place for the night and
as refuge from the dewy grass and the
spring rains. Constant access to a good
drinking place should be furnished-on
high, dry ground, if possible, and unat-
tended by ''wallow." A good box-tank
filled with clean water, in which the hogs
are given brief bath, on a warm bright
day, may prove an advantage; but the at
tendant should see that the hogs go from
the water into the grass until dry. If al
lowed a dust bath, at this juncture, the
waters effect is neutralized, Some rock
salt, wood ashes, etc. are always of value
to hogs-when they can have ready access
to them continually. Variety of grain and
grasses is desirable. Of course, the sheep
should have separate pasture from other
stock in warm weather. The oil from the
wool gives out an odor which is too
offensive to other animals, as general
rule

FARM NOTES.

Buckwheat bran Is more nourishing than
wheat bran.
Make water burrows from the low places
In your fields
Grub out the sick tree and plant a
healthy one in its place.
The best butter In the world naturally
can be sadly injured by the use Of very
poor salt.
With poultry, as with everything else
on the farm, there is always an opportuni-
ty to sell at good prices, fowls or eggs that
are of little better quality than others are
Offering.
The pigs that are kept in pens should
have mess OF grass or clover at least once
a day if they are expected to grow and
keep IN thrifty condition.
Strawberries need an abundance of
moisture as they begin to ripen. An
abundance then, with sufficient warmth,
makes them grow to an enormous size.
Success hinges upon the man and his
surroundings. Find your market before
your crop is ready and send the produce
IN the neatest and most attractive condi-
ton
Hens should be graded according to size
and general qualities. Yard Legborns
and Brahmas in the same enclosure
and the feed necessary to keep the Leg
horns just right would over-fatten the
Brahmas.
