WESTERN CANADA'S DECEM-
Der WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regain and c. Collins, of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
'We arrived in Calgary about the goth
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition,
with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
in the south. We are impressed with
this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
we'll sheltered and abundantly wa
tered, leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing rs bushels, oats 60 bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun.
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the best
of really good country. Any agent
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
the columns of your paper will give
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year In
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly,
OLD READER.

Timely Word of Caution.

In feeding skimmilk great care
must be exercised. The most common
mistake made in feeding separa tor
skimmilk is to feed too much of it. A
young calf from week to two weeks
old should not have over one to one
and half gallons day, and larger
calves two gallons day. The skim
milk should be warm and sweet. We
add to the skimmilk mixture of bran
and ground oats in equal parts by
weight. Put it into the milk for young
calves and as soon as they will take it
dry, give meal to calves in separate
box in dry form. We also give them
some nice clover hay and keep the
calves as dry and comfortable as pos
sible.-Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario Agri.
cultural College.

BACTERIA IN OUR FOOD.
According to This Authority There
Are Millions in . Single Pat
Of HITTER.

Why is butter salted? Mrs. C. c..
FARMLAND gives scientific answer
in Longman's Magazine: eve must
first realize that the bacterial popu-
lation of moderate-sized pat of but
ter may be reckoned by millions;
that tiny lump only large enough
to go into thimble has been known
to be tenanted by nearly 100000;
that, in fact, in consuming slice
of bread and butter you may uncon-
sciously be assimilating individual
lives exceeding in number those Of
the whole of Europe!
Thus the urgency for keeping these
hordes in check, and hence the efforts
which are made first to set up eff
fectual barriers to their ingress by
taking proper precautions in the pro-
duction of milk, and, secondly, in the
manufacture and distribution of the
finished article. Included in these
processes is the addition of salt in
such quantities as to justify the but
ter being known as salt butter, this
addition being made with the object
of extending the keeping powers of
the butter, OF, in other words, to
suppress to a large extent the ac-
tivities of the butter bacteria. That
salt does act in this manner is shown
by the fact that in butter thus treat
ed very large reduction in the num-
Der of heterogeneous present is
effected. There can be little doubt,
therefore, that the common butter
microbes do not by any means regard
salt as their elixir of ife!"
The writer also, refers to the in
vestigation of a Russian savant, NJ.
Zakherbekoff, who carried out an
elaborate inquiry into the bacterial
quality of the milk supplied to St.
Petersburg. The figures he obtained
are appalling. Milk described and
supplied as the purest procurable was
found to contain q minimum of over
100000 and maximum of no less
than 100000 of bacteria in from
20 to IS drops, while in other sam
pies minimum Of 100000 and a
maximum of 114,5OO,OOO were found.
How unnecessary such bacterial pol
luton of milk is may be gathered
from the fact that milk under normal
healthy conditions contains no bac-
terra whatever as it issues from the
cow; that if due precautions of clean
Illness, etc, are observed milk may be
obtained absolutely sterile, or, in
other words, entirely devoid of bac-
terial life. Such milk has frequently
been procured from cows in cases
where it has been required in its nat
ural state, free from bacteria, for ex-
pcrimental purposes.

DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE.
by the Hog Pushing: 1T Hard
with His Sn0ut.

A hog house door should be on every
hos house in winter to keep animals
warm. One can be easily made that
hogs can open and shut at will. Make
the doorway at least six inches higher
than the pig. The door should be of
matched flooring placed crosswise and
nailed together with battens, b b, rum
ming up and down, placed even with
edges, thus making the door edges
two inches thick. Make the door four
inches shorter than the doorway. Get
two pieces of band iron two inches
wide, one-eighth inch thick, three
inches longer than the door, round
