ANOTHER RECORD IN
LAND-HUNTlNC.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-ffve thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit Of the yearly emigration to the
wheat zone of the Continent had been
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public were prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1905.
No surprise therefore will be caused
when 1t is made known that the pre-
dictions of fully fifty thousand more in
1905 are warranted in the fact that
the Spring movement Canadaward Is
greater than 1t has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
st. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways,
have been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
have gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the Continent. This new
territory has attractions for those de-
string to homestead on the one hun
bred and sixty acres granted each set
tier by the Canadian Government.
Many also take advantage of the OPP
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
1t does not require much thought
to convince one that II Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands. with
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the
acre, the lands of Western Canada at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
ing from twenty to thirty bushels OF
q superior wheat to the acre, should
produce competence to the ordinary
farmer in very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There arc millions Of acres OF
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portion of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited tho
cattle and horse producer Of the North
American continent. What is particu-
larly evident in Western Canada Is
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
information and advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put un-
der crop this season is greatly In ex-
cess of last season.

THE VALUE OF OATS.
Efery Animal Found
On the Farm.

II Is hard to estimate the value OF
oats on the farm. They make fine feed
for every animal found on the farm. In
short, no farmer ought to think of be-
ing without them each year. In some
countries oats do not grow as we'll as
in others, but where they will grow
fairly well think every farmer should
grow at least few acres each year.
There is no animal but that will relish
oats and get much good from them. If
all farm animals had few more oats
mixed with their corn they would
thrive much better.
The main use of oats on the farm Is
for horse-feeding, and no feed will take
the place of them for this purpose. The
practice of feeding corn, and corn only,
to work-horses has ruined more than
one horse, and it Is high time that the
American farmer finds and adopts
better method of taking care of his
horses. Until our horses are fed bet
ter we will have to do with second
class horse. 1t is the rule in many
parts of the country where corn is the
principal crop to feed corn exclusively
as q grain ration. This is wrong; corn
is far from the proper food. For this
purpose no grain exceeds oats and ev-
cry horse should have them if posi-
BILE. They give the horse just the
needed vitality for the work. Raise
oats, if for nothing more than horse
feed. The horse needs the best feed.
What is better for cows than few
oats? l am sure l can not tell, and
surely would be pleased to know.
Sheaf-oats are fine for milk-cows, and
threshed oats will keep up their vitali-
ty as no other grain will do. And what
pleases cow better than to run to the
straw-stack? A straw-stack is worth
quite sum for this purpose. Feed the
cows some good hay in the morning
and at night, but make them run to the
straw during the day, and you will get
several dollars out of it. If you keep
nothing but cows you had better have
some oats.
And for the poultry-yard oats should
form an important part of the ration.
Soaked oats are good. l also like to
give sheaf-oats, and let the hens
scratch out the grain. For young
chickens oats and corn ground together
and baked into a cake make good
feed. And oats are fine for hogs, too;
corn is not the only feed for them. Last
summer l had some pigs which did not
grow just right, but as soon as had
threshed my oats began feeding few
by scattering over the ground, and
that gave those pigs start which they
never forgot More oats should be fed
with corn to the young and growing
animals.
would advise to stack some of them
near the barn or in the barn, and feed
them in the sheaf during the winter;
there is no better winter feed for
horses They make q special feed for
horses. See that the horses have the
first chance at them; they need them
most-E. ]. Waterstrjrc, III Farm AID
