WINDING UP.
Little Remains of BnildinsS OF
the ST. Louis Expo
SitiOn.

The Louisiana Purchase EXPOSE
tion is almost a matter of history.
The diplomas are all distributed
with few scattering exceptions and
the medals are now being sent out
by secretary Stevens, who still re-
tains an office in the Art Building
with about fifteen clerks and other
employees to assist him.
The medals are much admired.
They are made Of a metallic patent
ed composition called Scoville Gold
manufactured in sheets at Water
bsrg, Conn, and sent to the mint
at Philadelphia where the medals
are stamped from artistic dies.
They are not round, as medals
usually are, but are shaped like an
irregular triangle and bear design
representing an eagle, with out
stretched wings and a pair of queer
looking fishes on one side. while on
the other side are two thinly clad
ladies intended to represent indus
try and art. The composition is a
form of dull bronze which keeps its
lustre.
The management has been more
fortunate than at Chicago, for
il is nearly two years ahead in the
matter of medals and diplomas.

Roses As Bait For Rats.

The use of choice roses as rat bait
is to be experimental upon by the
Biological Bureau of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The bureau
has1been informed of number of
cases.. where rodents that spurned
tempting cheese and crackers were
easily enticed by a rose and it is be-
lieved that the result of the expert
ments proposed by the bureau will
be to show conclusively that these
flowers surpass cheese, crackers or
rinds of bacon and other bats that
are commonly used to entice the rats
into traps.
The use of choice flowers as bait
forrats will,no dubt be looked upon
as unworthy and degrading by the
horticulturists and others interested
in plant industry but when the great
value and Importance of roses used in
this manner is demonstrated it is be-
lieved they will take another view of
the case.
1t is explained that it is not so
much the taste of roses that attracts
the rat as it is their fragrance: and
for this reason roses are expected to
be the popular bait of the future.
Cases have been known where ro-
dents attracted by the sweet perfume
of rose in a house have, gnawed
through doors to get at the flower.
Rats have been known to become sus-
picious of traps with the familiar sent
of cheese and bacon rinds and easily
evade trap for long time, From
experience it has been found that
white roses such as the dainty Bride
rose or the snowy Nephitos have
proved preferable in rat-catching.

The General Purpose Farm Horse.

Very many of our farmers get the
idea that all they have to do is to breed
their nondescript mares to the leggy,
coarse type of SO called coach horses
being peddled through the country to
get the general purpose farm horse. l
have seen hundreds of colts from this
kind of breeding and must say that not
per cent of them are even fair speci-
mems Of the general purpose horse,
while so per cent or more are failures
from every point of view.
1 have seen much better results
where the coach stallion has been a
finer and more compactly built one or
where a hackney or American trotter
Of a compact, smooth, muscular type
has been the sire. These observations
have led me to the conclusion that this
latter plan IS the surest one to bring
some measure Of success IN producing
the general purpose farm horse.-Geo.

Best Not to Sell Early.

For years farmers have been grow
ing sheep in a small way, and general
ly have sold their lambs when they
weigh 60 to 20 pounds for from So to
$3.50 each. Even at these prices one
makes nice profit out Of his sheep.
1t has cost little to grow them and so
he is we'll paid, but it is possible to do
better. For several years Western
lambs weighing from so to 60 pounds
have sold at from So to $3.50, and after
being fed sixty or ninety days,
or up to SO to 90 pounds, they
sell for almost twice as much. AS ii
rule the farmers who sell the young
lambs have feed enough to finish them
and get the additional price. Although
this extra feed had to be bought at
market prices there would be no loss,
for feeders are buying both sheep and
feed and making a profit. More profit
is made from farm products when ami
mails are properly finished, and lambs
are In this class.

What are the cows worth that pro-
duce 400 pounds Of butter per annum?
Here | am going to make a statement
and undertake to prove it correct SAYS
a writer in Successful Farming. When
COW that produces 200 pounds of but
ter per annum at a food cost of $50
and labor cost of $3.50 is worth $50,
the COW that produces 400 pounds Of
butter annually is worth $500, and the
owner can make net SIC more from her
after paying interest on the $500 than
he can from the cows that produce 200
pounds of butter There is no more
labor connected with the 4O0pOund
COWS than there is with the 200-pou1d
COWS. The price at which butter has
been credited, namely, 20 cents pound,
is the net price from the creamery after
the making has been paid for. In this
herd the increased cost of feed for the
4OO-pound COWS was more than offset
by the increased amount of skim milk,
so we have the 200 pounds increase Of
butter as net profit over the 2OO-pound
COW. Two hundred pounds of butter at
20 cents is $40. We have $500 invested
in these cows, which at per cent in
terest is $24, which we will deduct
from the $40, and we have left SIG to
the credit of the 40O-pound COW.

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year 1906.

Magnificent Crop Return for the
Year 1906.
The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many Of our jour
nails and public men to sit up and take
notice, to use current phrase From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
numbers of settlers have t1ocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportuni-
ties are open to all who desire to avail
themselves of them.
The greatest factor in attracting set
tiers lies in the inherent richness OF
soil and suitability of climate for pro-
ducing what is universally considered
to be the finest wheat in the world
the mo. / hard" of Canadian growth
and other cereals that rank in the very
first class. This year the harvest re-
turns were: Wheat, 100000 bush
els; oats, 100000 bushels; barley,
100000 bushels and when it is con-
sidered that the entire population OF
the three provinces-as evidenced by
the quiquennial census just completed
is only $4,000, it is easily seen that
the lure of the Canadian West is in its
agricultural potentialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy reach
of outside markets, and that good
prices for all lines Of farm products
rule practically from the commence
ment of agricultural operations. This
is a factor which did not prevail when
the earlier settlements in the West
were made in Canada and in the Unit
ed States, and has given a great i'm
petus to Canadian Western settlement
in recent years.
The free grant system of homesteads
which prevails in the prairie provinces,
by which every settler who is able and
willing to comply with the conditions
of actual settlement (by no means on
erous) Is given 100 acres free, except
$40 for entry, is a great drawing card,
and in the last fiscal year gathered in
over $4,000 additional to the West
ern population, of which 57,796 were
from the United States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought out by the agent of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere, that a splendid COM
mon school system, practically free, pre-
walls throughout the entire country,
and is easy Of access in even the most
remote districts is another great in
ducement to the settler who has the
future welfare Of his family in mind,
and this, coupled with the fact that
Western Canadian law and order are
proverbial, completes a circle of good
and sufficient reasons why the tide Of
immigration has set in so steadily to-
ward the country to the north Of our
boundary line.
