of the industry. On account of the
land being more broken than in the
southern district, though the soil is
equally fertile, there are not the same
opportunities for extensive operations;
and while cattle raising is as profitable
here as elsewhere, different methods
have to be adopted for their protec-
ton, especially in the winter season.
An authority ON the subject has
stated that agriculture in any coun-
try never reaches the minimum Of
development until the farmers engage
at least proportionately in dairying,
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature Of the industry may be prose-
cuted. 1t is certainly then that if
the agricultural possibilities of this
portion Of the prairie country be esti-
mated by its adaptability to dairy
farming even the most skeptical must
acknowledge they are unsurpassed in
any country in the world. AS init
mated above, even dairying may be
successfully carried on in any corner
of the territories, but this zone has
everything to recommend it as the
ideal spot for this branch Of the bust
ness.
The mining districts of British
Columbia, which consume an immense
lot Of dairy products, are close at
hand and always afford a good mar
ket for butter, cheese. pork. poultry
and egEs.

Second Part.
The second part of the Canadian
prairies embraces the great wheat grow
ing belt of the country which is easily a
half larger than any other in the world.
1t includes about 100, 000, 900 acres. AS
it is comparatively free of broken land,
large lakes and rivers, about 1875, 000, 900
acres of it can be brought under the
plow. Placing a farmer on every half
section 1920 acres), 1t car comfortably
locate 800, 900 farmers or A 1000, 900 of an
agricultural community. A glance now
at what the farmers Of the territories
are doing will give a better idea of what
can be done in this great w~heat-growing
zone. The territorial government re-
ports show that in 1903 there were raised
6 1929, 149 bushels Of spring wheat off
of 837,234 acres, an average of 1904
bushels per acre; off 440,662 acres Of
oats there were grown IA, 179, 705 BUSH
els, an average of 32.17 bushels per acre;
Sc, 667 acres produced 1,741, 209 bushels
of barley-24.65 to the acre, and 32,431
acres produced 292,S55 bushels of flax
seed, 9.03 to the acre. AS but 1883, 434
acres or a little better than one per cent.
of the entire wheat-growing area of the
territories was under crop, a little fig
uring shows 13 per cent. of the entire
country under wheat will raise the 20O,-

II must not be supposed for a moment
that while this part Of the country is
outlined as the especially favorable dis
trict for wheat growing, 1t is not good
for mixed operations as well. II Is be-
cause it is level, has a sufficient rain
fall every year, plenty Of snoT in the
winter for moisture in the early spring
and favorable climatic conditions the
year round that it is specially marked for
this branch of husbandry.
AS if to cope with the offerings of ma
ture, the railway companies are ready
with their railways to haul the grain as
soon as it is relieved from the straw in
the fields by the threshers. Throughout
this entire belt there is an enormous
length of railway mileage, branches are
radiating in every direction from the
trunks until they scarcely leave a grain
field more than six or seven miles from
a road, and they are all required, for in
the fall and early winter the sight of the
trains passing to and from the elevators
at the railway depots makes the entire
country look like one hive of industry.

LABOR LEADERS ON GUARD
A Good Many Republican Congress
men to Be Retired by the New
"Labor Lyceum."

The American Federation of Labor
and many villages, does not permit pc.
litical action, but is non-partisan. The
leaders have found, however, that con-
gress will not heed their request for leg
islation unless that individual member
of congress is brought to fear defeat il
ne does not vote for such laws as labor
demands. The labor leaders at Wash
ington after two months of executive
meetings and consultations have organ
lied the Labor Lyceum and Bureau Of
Information" whose objects are set forth
to be: The discussion of economic ques'
ton as they relate to the educational, so.
cial and industrial conditions of the
wage-workers of the United States to col
lect and disseminate legislative data rela.
tive to labor measures submitted to the
tain, as far as possible, the attitude OF
senators and representatives toward such
measures, and forward such information
to their respective constituencies and
to advise the use of the initiative and
referendum in the election of federal
and state Legislators"
One clause of the constitution provides
that anyone who is a member of a trades
union in the United States may become a
member of the Labor lyceum. The work
of the lyceum developes largely upon the
executive committee of which the presi-
dent is eX-officio chairman. All COM
pliants~an statements calling for action
are referred to this committee, which is
charged with the duty of investigation.
Before action is taken the lyceum must
vote on the rennrt Of the committee.
The inspiration of the organization is
said to have been the treatment of labor
interests by congress on the injunction
and eight-hour bills. The record of con-
gress is being scrutinized closely at pres
ent, and without partisan feeling the ban
is expected to fall heavily on at least a
half dozen congressman who are having
all they desire to combat with in the
shape Of partisan opposition.
In its account of this organization the
Washington Post quotes Mr.. Mcclure,
the president of the lyceum, as saying:
1--WE expect to enter the close districts
and do something that will count. The
laboring man could not enter political
fights heretofore in an organized body,
because such a thing would not be per-
mitted of a union. His interests have suf-
fered. Then, again, there are a number
of congressman who came here and have
done everything in their power to defeat
the ends of the laboring man, and then
return home to tell the laborer how much
he has been doing fec him. We intend to
put a stop to that kind of work"
That action will certainly make it n
comfortable for most of the republican
leaders. who, while pretending to be
favorable to labor, have managed to de-
feat all the legislation that labor asks.

FOREVER YOUNG.

There's an elbow in the river
Where it curves around and down.
And the cliffs are SCARED and broken,
And are scanned and marked with
brown:
AND the lake waits for the river
with a faith and love as true
AS was mine in days We know of
When 1 used to wait for you.
There are youths to wait impatient
AS L waited, dear, of old;
There are maids whose eyes are blue
eyes,
And with locks of tawny gold;
All the hooks that knew our trysting,
All the sunfecked shaded ways,
Are to-day held dear by lovers.
AS they were in other days.
Boys are swimming in the river,
Fish are leaping in the sun,
And the ripples CLEAN as brightly,
Softly giggling as they run,
And l think your eyes, your blue ewes.
Are as blue as they were then,
And I think your lips would tempt me
TIL l stopped to them again.
1t is much, dear, to have loved you
In your happy. happy youth;
To have looked deep in your blue eyes
Limpid wells of love and truth;
You'll be young to me forever;
only l. dear, will grow old,
But my heart will stay entangled
In your locks Of tawny gold.

purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from five
dollars per acre up. This section can
not be better closed than by show
ing practically what is made by wheat
growing in this district. The average
from the first Of operations is 20
bushels per acre. Breaking the
prairie, as first piowed is called, is
of course an exceptional expenditure,
as when it is once done it is done
for all time. This costs about $3.50
per acre. After the breaking, plow-
ing and seeding, harvesting, threshing
and marketing, all expenses combined
amount to about S5.25 per acre; that
is, if a man has everything done it
will cost him $5.25 per acre. If he
does the work himself he is earning
wages while producing at that fig
ure. Now as the average yield is 20
bushels, and the average price 60 cents
-$12 per acre-the difference between
the result and cost, $6.75, is the profit
of grain growing year in and year
out in the great wheat belt of the
Canadian prairie country. If a man
has a half section of land and puts
half of it, 100 acres, under wheat,
which is a very common occurrence,
he makes 1880 on wheat alone and
should make if he is a capable farm
er enough out of other crops, sale of
cattle, dairy and other products TO
keep himself and family the year
round besides.
The Third Division.
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt, between it ard what is known
as the forest country. AS wheat
growing implies the raising of all
cereals, that can proftably be raised
in the country, the remaining
branches of mixed farming are dairy
ing and the raising of farm stock.
1t must not be supposed that dividing
the prairies in this way is saying that
any one portion of the country pos
sesses better soil than another, for
such is not the case-all districts arc
equally fertile, but the topography
and climatic influences differ, as we'll
as the conditions for production.
Ranching and grain growing are car
ried on quite successfully in this
northern zone; but it is found more
profitable to combine all the features
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1904-08-18

in the east, it has been left for American
settlers who have invaded this district
within the past two or three years to
prove that splendid crops of grain can
be grown on the land which had hitherto
been the feeding ground for the herds of
cattle and bands of horses that ranged
here.
That ranching is carried on most sue
cessfully in other portions of the prairies
west, just as agriculture is to a limited
extent conducted successfully within
this boundary, is fully established, but
taken as a whole it constitutes a terri
tory above all others most admirably
adapted to this particular industry.
The buffalo, bunch and other grasses
that grow In %profusion in this district
and retain their nutritive properties the
year round, and the moderate climate of
mid-winter rendered such by the
Chinook winds preventing any consid-
cradle depth of snow at any time, espe-
cially fit the district for the peculiar
methods of the rancher-raising his
herds the year round in the open coun-
try.
While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast-running streams fed the
year round by melting SHOWS in the
mountains furnishing an abundance of
the coolest and purest water, the best
for beast as we'll as man The %c0untrv
has at once an abundance of the best
of food and drink the year round, a clear
sky but little wet or stormy weather and
a favorable climate the year through.
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in their
herds as fast as they can and leasing or
purchasing land in lots from 1000 to TO-
900 acres from the Dominion govern
ment. An idea of the growth of the
industry will be gathered from the fact
that in 1899 there were but 1,471 head
of cattle shipped and sold from the
ranches, these figures ran to 55,129 in
1900, and to 100000 in 1903, averaging
$40 per head for the owners. But it
takes a great many ranchers and alarge
number of cattle to cover an area of
200, 000, 900 acres, the area available for
ranching in the Canadian northwest.
1t is not at all necessary that large in
vestments should be made at the outset.
Many men commenced with small cap
ital and small herds, and have worked
