Grain in Western Canada.

The annual report of the depart
ment of agriculture of the Northwest
Territories is at hand with detailed
reports of the grain crops for the last
five years. The region embraced in
the report covers Saskatchewan. AS
siniboia and Alberta. 1t is interesting
to note the steady increase in the
size of the grain crops from year to
year. This is largely due to the in
fiux of settlers from the grain raising
states of the American Union.
The statistics of the yield of wheat
are 1S9S) 5,542,57S bushels, acreage
3O7 $50. yield per acre 1901; 1S99)

acreage 504.697, yield per acre 25.37;
t19O2) 13,956,S50 bushels, acreage
625.75S. yield per acre 22.90. The
average yield for the five-year period
was 1853 bushels per acre, which is
remarkably large for the western con-
tinent 1t will be noted that the acre
age showed a steady increase from
year to year and more than doubled
in the five years.
The oat crop showed a still more
remarkable advance, as follows:
(1S9S) 3,O40. 307 bushels, acreage 1885,
or, yield per acre 1898; (1S99) A.

(19O2) 1861 ,295. acreage 31O,367,
yield per acre. 34.35. The average
yield for the fve-year period was
$3.50.
A comparison shows that the acre
age and total yield increased three
fold during the time STATED.
The acreage and total yield of bar
ley doubled in that time, being in
1902 36,445 acres, on which was
grown S7O,417 bushels of barley The

The Worlds Grain Crop.

The Hungarian minister of agricul
ture publishes his estimate of the
worlds grain crops for the year 1908
1t is as follows: Wheat, 3.022, 10000
bushels, against 2,S6S, $1,000 last
year; rye, 1,513,63O, 900 bushels
against 1876, $4,000 last year; barley
1,213, $40, 900, against LIZA 100000 last
year; oats, 3,515, 5,6S0,0O0, against g.
222, $40, 900 last year; corn, 2.S35,740,-
900, against 3,O42, 100000 last year.
Total, 12,1O1, $50 900 bushels, against
1885 .050,000 last year, gain OF
about 216000,00O bushels.
According to this estimate, the four
leading nations in the production of
wheat this year are: United States,
639 100000 bushels; Russia, 523,600,-
900 bushels; France, 3S.040,000 bush
els; India, S5,OOO,OOO bushels. The
yield in Argentina is put at 91,000,000
bushels, gain over last year of 3d.
100000 bushels. AS corn producer,
no other nation compares with the
United States, of which the yield this
year is placed at 2,076, $50, 900 bushels.
and last year at 2,44S,900,000 bushels
Russia is the worlds greatest produc-
er of rye and barley, and stands very
close to the United States in the pro-
duction of oats.

Kansas skim-MiIk seeves.

From Farmers Review: Cattle be-
gan to change hands and to move out
about the 18th of October. About
5000 yearlings and two-year-olds have
been sold and taken out of the coun-
ty. Some few COWS have been shipped
out. The range grass has cured up
nicely and the cattle are doing well
on it. Cattle are not bringing the
price that was looked for. Steers
are bringing cents per pound gross,
with a 3 per cent shrinkage. Cows
are bringing from to 214 cents per
pound. The cattlemen have plenty of
feed for the winter. The biggest
crop of hay in ten years has been
put up this season. The conditions
of stock raising have changed greatly
in ten years, and even in three
years. One of these changes is that
small cattlemen, those having from
twenty-five to 200 cattle, have gone
into the shipping of cream to the big
creamery at Topeka. During the
months of May, June, July and Au-
gust this year car of cream a week
was shipped out of this county. The
mich cows are good grade Short
horns, white Faces" and Galloways.
They average from $3.50 to $3.50 per
head per month during six months
of summer. They run on the buffalo
grass, and very little extra feeding
is done. The calves are raised on the
skim-milk, and at from one to two
years old they bring just as much
money as do the beeves grown from
calves that run with their mothers
