HIlHI0I..
Dear Sir:
You want to know how I got along
since came into Northern Alberta. L
am happy to inform you that am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash
ington, on the goth of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 1Sx2O inside, so that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the 1st
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
rie all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables were
left open for them to go into in a cold
time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. 1 know all of
their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and a great
deal more All of us are comparative
ly out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of fair
price, and 1 expect we are as well con-
tented lot of people as there are from
Florida to the 7 Nndike.
My son bought two pounds of twine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
[ cannot say how it will thresh. All L
can say is that it is we'll headed, and
takes an enormous amount of twine.

Skfrnmi1lx and BuftermiIk.

The Kansas experiment station has
been testing skimmilk and buttermilk
in q private dairy Of five COWS to ascer-
tain how much butter fat there was
when the milk was set in ice water,
cold water or cold air, as compared
with the loss when a separator was
used and run properly. They found
from three to seven tenths Of 1 per
cent Of fat in the skimmilk and 1 ITO
per cent in the buttermilk. The herd
of five COWS tested showed a loss in
this way Of 100 pounds of butter in the
skimmilk and 81 pounds in the butter
milk in a year. This 16 pounds at 20
cents a pound for which price the dali
ryman was selling it to private Gus
toners, was a loss Of $50 q year or
500 per COW, and from q herd of 20
COWS which were doing as these did
there would be $12S per year saved by
using a separator. That the milk and
cream were as well handled as they
would be by the average dairyman we
can only judge by the price at which
the butter was being sold, which is
above dairy rates, and even the average
creamery rates in Kansas this year.

Teaching Patrons.

In too many instances factory men
who complain Of poor milk from their
patrons assume it is because the patron
is determined not to do as we'll as he
knows. says Hoards Dairyman.
We think poor milk is nearly always
from the fact that the patron lacks
knowledge of what constitutes good
milk and lacks it in such a way that
what he does know has but little effect
on him. Get the desired knowledge into
his mind once in thorough way, and
it will hold him in most instances. At a
ada, E. Agur, Brownsville, stated that
the patron very often did not take care
of his milk. because he did not know
how. He gave a personal experience,
in which he had shown a patron who
had always sent inferior milk, and
since that time the milk had always
been excellent. In answer to a question
as to the best way of teaching patrons,
President Millar stated that the best
way was for the maker 20 go and see
the patrons himself and instruct them.
Professor Dean thought that the only
way. as the maker could not spare the
time, was to employ a man to go about
and give the necessary instructions
This. he said, was to certain extent
being done In eastern Ontario Circu-
lars and meetings did not reach the
public they wanted to get at.

AhG boy w no Learned InS WY.
He was very young-about 13-this
boy who spent most of his time in the
studios watching the artists draw and
paint and wishing he could do the
same.
'What kind of pencils do you use?"
he said one day, and they gave him
one of the kind. That night he tried to
make a figure he had seen one Of the
artists draw, it seemed SO easy. But
he could not do the same kind of work.
"Perhaps l haven't the right kind of
paper" he reasoned. 81 will get a

81 need a studio and an easel" was
his next conclusion. Il have the de-
sire; surely all l need now are the
necessary surroundings"
A few years Of impatient waiting
passed before he secured the '"neces-
sary surroundings" and when he had
them all and still found it impossible
to draw the truth dawned upon him.

He was still young when his name as

500 Reward 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease. requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surface of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature In doing its work. The pro-
prletors have so much faith in it's cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

The Seasons Lessons For Doirymcn

The Seasons Lessons For Doirymcrn.
e. l.. Vincent of New York, writing
in The American Agriculturist, says:
The season just ending has many les
sons for the thoughtful man. One Of
them is that general farming is in the
long run most reliable. In many parts
of the country dry weather has very
materially shortened the hay crop.
Where men did not foresee the coming
trouble and put in liberal pieces of
corn to supplement- the shortage in
hay winter stares them in the face
. with empty moWs and an abundance Of
stock Oh hand. This stock must either
be carried through cold weather on
grain or turned off at q loss. The re-
suit is cattle are very low in price.
Not once in lifetime do we see COWS
selling as cheaply as at the present
time in those sections which were most
seriously affected by the drought. Good
COWS coming into milk in the spring
are today worth only from $15 to $50
head, and many are selling for even
less than that. Calves, sheep and lambs
go along with COWS in price.
If we had been little more cautious
about getting overstocked with COWS,
we would be better off. The pendulum
has been swinging toward dairying for
a few years back. and now we are
caught. We must get out the best
way we can. But should we not firmly
resolve that hereafter we will not run
so largely to one branch Of farming?
Mixed farming is the safest Again,
we should learn from the experience of
this year that it is wise to be prepared
for any kind Of q season that may
chance to come 1t is said that ans
fool knows enough to carry an umbrel-
la when it rains. It is a wise man
who takes one along when the sky is
fair. Who could have foretold last
spring that the hay crop would be so
nearly failure in 1900? If we had all
known that. we would surely have
planted good piece of corn. But we
didn't know it. and many Of us are sad
ly lamenting the fact now.

CONDITION OF MILK.
Many Ways In Which Milk May Be
Spoiled.


To have milk in. it's best condition
care must begin before milking with
the COW, her surroundings, her food
and her drink, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. Milk may be spoiled by being
neatly taken from q healthy COW and
improperly handled thereafter. 4 filthy
barn or stable will serve to spoil milk
without assistance. But suppose the
barn and the COW and the milking are
all as they should be, the milk may be
spoiled by subsequent handling. The
first thing that should be done after
milking is to cool the milk. Where
no ice is cold we'll or spring water may
be used TO get rid of the animal odor
common to the best milk it should be
thoroughly aerated. Where there is no
improved implement for this purpose
it can be sufficiently done by pouring
it from one vessel to another. Pouring
it through a strainer that will separate
the body of the milk into numerous
small streams, holding the strainer as
high as convenient, is better than sim
ply pouring from one vessel to another.
This process should be performed only
in the purest air on the premises. Aft
er this the next important factor is
thoroughly clean vessels. A piece Of
unsterilized curd so small as to be in
visible to the naked eye may be the
breeding ground of germs sufficient to
spoil a large can of milk in a few
hours so rapidly do these growths null
tiply. Every vessel can, pan, cup, dip
per, strainer, spoon or whatever may
come in. contact with the milk should
not only be made scrupulOusly clean.
but should be submitted for several
minutes to boiling water or, what is
better, to steam under pressure. The
very common custom of pouring q bit
Of boiling water into vessel, giving it
a shake and turning it out is not sufli-
cient. Several minutes boiling is re-
Quired to destroy many injurious
germs of milk. Soap should not be
used, but sal soda should take it's place
and should be freely used at least once
a week in combination with boiling
water. Iucfc Is 10 OiSdHlc substance
more subject to rapid deterioration
than milk. It is a rich food substance
for man. animals and organic germs so
infinitely small as to be detected only
with the most powerful microscopes.
In the hottest summer weather milk
may be kept sweet for II hours with
out ice or even cold water if proper
precautions are taken. If the patrons
of city milk dealers would test their
milk by this rule, they would then
know whether efficient milk inspection
is needed or not

Healthy Cows and Wholesome Food

Healthy COWS and Wholesome Food
Good butter, pure butter, so we'll
made that it does not need to be reno
waited and that has the aroma and fla
vor which it can obtain only from
healthy COWS, fed upon wholesome
food, and which, will be destroyed by
uncleanly surroundings, is the most
palatable of all the fat foods that man
can take, or most Of men, and it is al
SO one of the most digestible. There
may be exceptions among the pure
vegetable oils, but there is none among
the animal fats that we know. Ii
should be regarded as necessity rath-
er than a luxury, particularly for chill
dren and invalids, and we think that
many of them would be benefited by a
more liberal use of it. Good food is
cheaper than the use of medicine, and
we think the dose of cod liver oil so
often advised by physicians might well
be given up and a liberal use of pure
cream and good butter be taken in its
place to the advantage of the health
of the patient in many cases. 1t is not
economy to limit the use of any whole
some food product that the stomach
can digest at the risk of enfeebled
health.-American Cultivator.

GOunOd'S Opinions,

Music is the most beautiful art, but
it is the most detestable profession.
But is not that right? That which be-
longs most to heaven should fare worst
on earth.
The public moves much faster than
the individual, and therefore the indi-
viduai must place himself before his
age if he desires not to be behind it.
Wagner has some idea of this sort. 1t
is a necessity which every true artist
must realize. Great men may be said
to be for every age save their own.
