Walls of Stables.

The problem of what material to
use III the construction of stables is
one that confronts the farmer that
is about to build stable that he
wants to be a permanent edifice
There is some advantage in building
stable walls of stone or brick, or even
gravel, but usually that advantage is
more than compensated for by the
increase in the cost.
Wood is without doubt the warmest
material to use, especially if there
can be an air space between two
th1cknesses of the wood. The thermal
permeability of wood is about 100 to
about 400 of stone, cement and the
like. Brick also permits the trans
mission of heat quite readily and is
most serviceable when there is an air
space between two layers of brick
Dead air has a thermal permeability
of about so, which gives it double the
value of wood as a protection against
cold.
All materials like stone have the
advantage of being non-combustible,
but this is not a very great factor. as
most of the fires in barns are serious
because of the burning of the contents
of the barns rather than of the struc-
lures themselves, and stone walls will
not prevent the com bustion of dry hay
inside.
The question of the material out OF
which the walls are to be constructed
must be settled by the cheapness and
abundance of certain materials in any
one neighborhood. The writer knows
of one locality where the farmers have
built their barns largely out of boul-
ders left by the glaciers. They consti-
tute the cheapest and best material ir
that locality.

Effects of English Stock Shows
factor that has done a great deal
for the English people in this respect.
is their excellent system of breeding
and their fat stock shows. These
people get great deal more good out
OF these shows, as a class, than do
our own people. 1t is a sight never
TO be forgotten, to witness the throngs
OF people at one of these shows, who.
with catalogue in hand, make a criti-
cal examination of each animal, in
regular order, throughout the entire
show The shows are exceptionally
well managed, from the standpoint OF
afording the greatest possible amount
of educational advantage. The ami
mails are stabbed not only according
to breeds. but according to classes.
All bulls of certain age of one breed
are to be found in consecutive order
In the same row of stalls. The judg-
ing is always completed early the
opening day, and the awards hung up
IN a conspicuous place at the head of
each animal, SO that there is not the
slightest difficulty in finding all of the
prize-winning animals. This sensible
system of stabling, combined with an
equally good system of cataIoguing,
tenders the inspection of the animals
very simple and highly instructive
task. This systematic inspection OF
the animals commences Immediately
after the completion of the judging
work, and continues with ever-increas-
ing interest until the close of the
show. 1t is here that the young men
learn the lessons and receive the in
spiration which leads them on to be
come the breeders of their day and
Those IF
oftentimes having had long years of
successful breeding work, are as
eager for a chance to make a critical
examination of the prize winners as
are the younger men, for these men of
experience have long since learned
that string of good young things are
not the result of chance or accident
but are the never-failing indication
that good sire win be found on the
farm from whence the Youngsters
came. 1t is in this manner that many

USE OF LARGE FORTUNES.
Immense Wealth in Combinations
Direct Menace.

Direct Menace.
When, however, we dismiss con-
troversy over the rightfulness or
wrongfulness of the mere existence of
these great fortunes, ands deal with
the question whether they are prop
erly and rightly used by their pos
SCISSORS, some different considerations
arise, and they are considerations
with which the recent markets have
been repeatedly confronted, says the
Forum. The most notable financial
phenomenon of the day has been not
the mere increase of the wealth of
great capitalists, but the persistent
effort of such capitalists to combine
for common purpose Domination
of given manufacturing interests and
railway interests by an identical group
of capitalists opens the possibility of
discriminating transportation rates
on the products of the industries in
question. This, if accomplished, is
not only wrong to the shipper of
merchandise who pays full rates, but
to the other shareholders in the rail-
way which makes the secret conces-
sions. If the combination of capital
lays it's hands with such purposes on
banking institutions, the case may be
much more serious

Wondrous View to Be Observed from

Hammerfest, the most northern
town of Europe, is bleak and DESC
late, but, seen by the witch light of
the midnight sun, it touches the imag-
ination more than many of the world S
more favored spots, writes Jean Muir
ray in the FourTrack News. The
traveller passing through Norway finds
himself constantly seeking for words
that will express his wonder and adj
miration, but when at last he stands
on the North Cape, in the light of the
midnight sun, and looks out over the
awful solitude, he no longer longs for
words to express what he feels, but
stands and gazes into the glorious
northern light that glimmers on the
glittering waves of the Arctic sea,
while thoughts too deep for words we'll
up in his soul. He feels that after
this hour he will have a greater rev.
erence for this wonderful world
wherein he is permitted to spend his
little span of life, and that if in future
years the touch of encouragement
and discomfort falls upon him he will
remember this moment when he stood
on the lonely heights of the North
Cape, looking out over the blue Arctic
into what seemed the shining dawn
of eternity. and feel that it is well to
have lived, if only for this

ANOTHER RECORD I'M LAND
HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-fve thousand people went from
the United States to Canada, that the
limit of the yearly immi grafton to
the wheat zone of the Continent had
been reached. But when in 1904
about as large a number of Ameri
can citizens signified their intention
of becoming settlers on Canadian
lands, the general public were pre-
pared for the announcement of large
mum ers in 1905. No surprise there
fore will be caused when it is made
known that predictions of fully fifty
thousand more in 1905 are warranted
in the fact that the Spring movement
Canadaward is greater than it has
ever been. The special trains from
Omaha, Chicago, ST. Paul, Detroit,
and other gateways has been crowd
ed. Many have gone to join friends
and relatives who have prepared
homes for them and others have gone
relying upon their, own resources, sat-
isfied 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 extend
ing 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 desiring to home
stead on the one hundred and sixty
acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government. Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to
purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
1t does not require much thought to
convince one that if Iowa, Illinois,
Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and thir-
ty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre,
the lands of Western Canada at seven
70 ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of a
superior wheat to the acre should
produce a competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres
of such land in Western Canada in
addition to the other millions that
are considered to be portion of the
biggest and best ranges that ever in
vited the cattle and horse producer
of the North American continent.
What is particularly evident in West
ern Canada is the fact that the wheat
lands, adjoining the grazing lands,
make farming particularly agreeable
and profitable The agents of the
Canadian Government, who are al
ways willing to give information and
advice to intending settlers, say that
the acreage put under crop this sea-
son is greatly in excess Of last sea-
son.
