WANTED PAUL TO TELL.
A Tipsy Wayfarer Who Is Familiar

DAIRY PHILOSOPHY.

If little extra care will secure YOU
one cent a pound more for your butter,
it will be one dollar extra on a hundred
pounds. Money is what we conduct the
dairy for. ~
If we have kept a COW all winter that
is Improbable, do not let her eat up
valuable grass during the summer. An
Improbable COW is improbable either
on or off pasture.
The poor butter does not sell as quick
ly as good butter, and the longer butter
is kept the worse it is. No wonder
that so much butter does not bring the
cost of it's production.
Honor to the boy who thinks his IA
theirs knowledge pretty nearly perfect.
But let no young dairyman, however,
successful his father was as a dairyman,
think that there is nothing to learn.
In nearly every paper devoted to the
dairy that we pick up, we find kindness
to the COW urged. Is it fact that men
are so reckless as to be brutal to the
cows, and that so much space need be
used to urge kindness?
Don't forget that there are more IL
censes being taken out to sell butterine
than has ever before been the case.
The stuff is not all honestly sold. Give
the iniquity whack in the dairy meet
ings and demand more legislation upon
the ect.-Western Plowman.

Advantages of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated new system
of disposing of their products which is un-
qualifiedly to the advantage of the con
sumner. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing COM
pany Of Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 70 years ago and have adhered to
so entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumner exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys alta
much lower price. There is no risk, a. this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfully mail to all who requestit.

ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

". Il. Milburn, John Holmes. M. r.
Dagger, p. =. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to it's situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: eve came here
solely to look up improved farms and, If
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to go back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
OF improved farms, which we find we
can 40 at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
OF Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
markets, etc., are all that we could wish
for. a,sag .~ 1'.t.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented a farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verted into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
It is our intention to induce as many of
our friends as possible, who are prac-
teal farmers, to remove from Iowa to
this country, where we believe there is
better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are we'll known in
our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from its resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
RETURN"

ROOTS FOR THE DAIRY.
why Farmers Should Plan to Plant
an Acre or Two to the Sue
culent Mangel.

Wherever few cows are kept for
milk or butter it would be well to con-
slder the advisability of growing few
roots. A ton of roots does not have as
large food value as most feeds we
might mention, but it furnishes sue
culence which cannot be obtained in
winter from any other food except 81
lage. Silage requires equipment in the
way of silo and cutting machinery
Which is not available to the man with
small herd. Roots may be grown on
any good loan soil, and will yield a
profitable return in feed for labor ex-
pended. ..E Fl. ..e,
AT the Indiana station mangels were
grown at labor cost of $1.e7 ton..
Ibis included blowing, fitting, plant

est yield and was easiest to remove from
the ground and handle to and from the
wagon was the Giant Yellow Inter-
mediate. It grows well out of the
ground. The neck of the largest man

-Four varieties varied in yield from 16

A good stand of plants will permit cut

4 Cheaper Butter Production.

The cost of butter, and indeed of all
dairy products, is dependent mainly on
the character of the herd. The same
feed given to the best cows will make
twice as much milk and butter as it will
with ordinary scrub animals. The
farmer cannot make the price of butter
higher. But he owes it to himself and
family to get the very best cows that he
can buy, SO as to make the cost of pro-
ducing butter less. OF course these
better cows must be better cared for
and better fed than are the cows he
has been used to keeping. But when a
farmer makes the right beginning by
purchasing the best cows all the other
requirements for successful dairying
will follaw naturally in their course.

 'The Cape Nome country, about An vii City, is the liveliest mining camp in America to-day. I say this, knowing what say. When left, August 18th, there were fully 5000 men in that dis trict. Though gold had been discovered as early as last October, nothing had been done toward developing the claims until the ice went out of Behring Sea, about the 18th of last June, when work began in earnest. The first week 1 was in that country I went back to the creeks where the placer mines lie. passed up Anvil and across Snow Gulch, down Snow to Glacier Creek and to Snake River. The whole coun- try is staked out, but found but from fifteen to twenty claims being really worked. They are all doing remarka, bly, we'll. Every claim that has been opened has proven a bonanza. On one claim they were just clearing up after three and a half days run. The result was S12,5OO. Another claim, having run forty hours, produced S18,0OO ir rough gold.
