where sarsa pariIla Comes from.

EtsIE where sarSa parlIa Comes from.
g During the summer many boys and
girls--and grown people, too-line up
before the soda fountains in our cities
and call for sarsaparilla without stop
ping to think, and perhaps without
knowing what that extract is that
gives a rich brown color to the bever-
age. Sarsaparilla Is taken from the
root of several species Of smilax, a
great vine that grows In South Ameri-
can forests. Jamaica, Mexico and Cen
trail America also export quantities Of
the smilax or the extract. One species
of smilax grows to prodigious size In
the great forests of the valley of the
Amazon, and the Indians Of that re-
gion sell large quantities Of it to white
merchants. The Indians dig the root
OF this smilax, which sometimes
reaches nine feet in length, growing
horizontally from the stem. It is then
dried and is usually shipped in that
state, the sarsaparilla being extracted
by manufacturers. These Indians of
the Amazon, however, although far
down in the scale Of civilization, place
great faith In the medicinal qualities Of
the juice, and perhaps the nature of
the region in which they abide is re-
sponsible for this. They show much
skill In extracting the sarsaparilla,
which is done through process OF
boiling.

Eggs for Market.

C. r. Langworthy says that for mar
ket, the shells of new laid eggs should
be wiped clean, If necessary, and the
eggs graded as regards size. In some
markets brown eggs are preferred to
white. 1t is stated that In the Boston
market brown-snelled eggs, such as are
laid by Partridge Cochins, Dark Brah-
mas, Barred Plymouth Rocks, sell at
from 2 to 5 cents per dozen more than
white-shelled eggs, such as are laid BY
Brown Leghorns, Buff Leghorns and
White and Black Minorcas In New
York market, on the other hand, white
shelled eggs bring the higher price. 1t
is well known, however, that the color
of the shell has no relation to the
food value. q

An Item Of Profit In steers.

"a communication from the Tonnes
see Agricultural College says: During
the season OF 1900 eight native steers
were fattened at the experiment sta
ton. They were Of the ordinary type
and vet gratifying results were OBJ
tanned In that from Sc to $40 apiece
was cleared after liberal allowances
had been made for care, feeding, etc.
The experiment demonstrate that cat
tie can be fed at a profit on home
grown ration on Tennessee farms and
it emphasized the fact that pea vine
hay has an exceptionally high feeding
value. In the slaughter test our ami
mails dressed about IS per cent and
they were much superior to the cattle
ordinarily slaughtered in the Knox
vile abattoir. The so-called beef cattle
of Tennessee will hardly dress so per
cent, though there are today 2S6,S41
head Of cattle in this class. These ami.
mails should dress so per cent and the
offspring Of first cross with an i'm
proved sire would easily do this. If we
consider the average weight Of these
animals as TOO pounds, it means a loss
of 20,07S,S70 pounds in siaughtering,
which at the low estimate of 3 cents a
pound amounts to 5000, 166.1O. Tonnes
see farmers are simply throwing away
this amount of money because Of a
failure to study this important ques-
ton. and it is safe to say that if the
cross indicated above were made the
profit from feeding beef cattle could
be easily doubled.

PARIS IS DRINKING MILK.

Has Taken to the Lacteal Fluid ne q
Substitute for Absinthe.
Paris is rapidly becoming the great
est milk-drinking city In the world.
The Increase Of the milk habit has res
Gently called for extended comment
from the local press. IT has now be-
come the habit Of Parisians to drink d
glass or two OF milk at the period be-
fore dinner known as the "aperitif''
hour. The change that has gradually
been wrought In substituting milk for
absinthe is said to be owing to the in
crease In open air exercise among
sFrenchmen, which produces a craving
for milk rather than for liquor Most
Of the cafes, particularly those on the
way to the Bots, are now supplied with
sealed bottles Of milk. and In some
places a COW Is kept in the window,
with sign informing the thirsty BIZ
cyelist or automobilist that milk made
on the premises Is the purest In Paris"
Under these circumstances it is natural
that the subject of milk adulteratinn is
just now receiving the attention OF the
health authorities Of Paris, and DR.. H
De Rothschild has recommended that
special inspectors be employed to ex-
anime all milk sold. although he deems
that the danger Of tuberculosis infec-
ton from milk drinking is really less
than is commonly imagined. On the
other hand. he showed that Paris milk
is adulterated to a great extent and IS
full of impurities. He further recon-
mends that a measure should be insti-
tuted making it obligatory to have all
milk sterilized according to the Pas
teur method. Paris Core. Chicago

Nearly all wooden goods. especially

the same time bringing forth a piece
of goods that they claim to be im-
ported, and which they will guarantee
against bagging for a limited time. In
some cases the goods are Of foreign
manufacture, but as often they were

reasons why American goods or any
other make will bag, the principal ones
being improper mixing Of stock, soft

to cheaper the cost the goods of wool
are mixed and II the operation is prop
erly performed the goods will not bag,
but If the various grades are not thor

THE SASKATOON DISTRICT.
ONE OF THE NEW WESTERN
CANADA DISTRICTS.
The Great Advantages OF settlement
Where the Soil ~ OF Unex-
ampled Fertility.

During the past year or two a large
number Of American settlers ithose
going from the United States to Can
adaS. have made homes In the Saska-
3oon district In Western Canada. They
have found the climate all that could
be desired and their prospects are Of
the brightest. In writing of 1t cor
respondent says:
The lands for sale are choice selec-
tions from large area, and every
farm Is within easy distance Of a rail-
way station. Experience has shown that
this district enjoys Immunity from
summer frost, from cyclones and bliz-
cards. The South Saskatchewan,
flowing through the tract, is one Of
the finest rivers In the country, be-
Ing navigable and having an average
width OF stream OF 1000 feet,
The agents Of the Canadian govern
ment, whose advertisement appears

be pleased to furnish full information.
tell me that within the limits Of tho
tract there are two distinct varieties
OF soil. One Is rich black loan. and
the other Is a somewhat lighter loan,
containing a small admixture OF sand.
There appears to be no appreciable
difference between the fertility OF these
two kinds Of soil. Both are alluYial
Ia their characteristics. both are mar.
velously productive, and both rest
upon a subsoil OF clay. The adj
vantage Of this formation Is that IT
retains the heat OF the day during the
night, and Is favorable to the early
maturity Of crops. Every kind Of
crop will here attain the highest per-
lection Of quality. The land Is admir-
ably adapted for stock-raising and
dairy farming, as we'll as growing
grain. Some Idea Of the richness OF
the natural grasses OF the prairie may
be formed from the fact that more,
than 200 tons Of hay were gathered
within short distance OF Saskatoon
and stored UP for use during the win
ter. A growth so luxuriant demon
strates beyond all possible question the
suitability Of the land for pasturing
cattle, and no doubt this important in
dustry will be largely carried on.
Nature has been lavish in her gifts
to this territory. Not only Is the soil
OF unexampled fertility, but the climate
Is delightful and healthy. Such is the
testimony Of every settler. and this
Testimony is confirmed by enthusiastic
opinions from every traveller, explorer,
missionary or newspaper correspond
ent who has ever visited this far
famed Saskatchewan Valley. In form
err years vast herds OF buffalo came
here to winter from the elevated
storn-sWept regions south OF the
United States boundary line, proving
thereby the adaptation Of these rolling
prairies to the purpose of raising
stock. The land Is dry, with sufficient,
but not excessive rainfall, capable Of
early cultivation In the spring, and
free from summer frosts. The confg-
uration Of the country renders artifi-
cial drainage unnecessary, and pre-
vents the accumulation Of stagnant
pools; mists and fogs are seldom seen.

Reports from England say that the

has pressed itself forward the past

far as 1t affects poultry keep
ing. That the preservation Of
foxes is repressive is acknowledg ICED.
Too long this question has been ig-5
nored, and, as result, the growth
o. this industry is checked In certain
districts. Loud complaints are made
by the farmers as to their losses, and
by hunters as to unfair claims on the
hunt funds. But the difficulty is ca
pable OF solution, provided that to the
houses out in the open, small runs are
attached, in which the birds can be fed
at night and enclosed. without the la
Dor entailed by a second visit to close
them up. The cost is small, and were
this system universally adopted, the
