Distant Dairy Prosperity.

Dairying seems to be about the
same the world over, and the account
of expert management in New Zealand
resembles quite closely a similar de-
scription of the dairy industry in this
country. Like other countries. New
Zealand is burdened with careless and
incompetent creamery managers,
which the commissioner of dairying
blames for the low average quality OF
the product As partial remedy ii If
recommended that the grading stand
ard for quality be raised. The New
Zealand government supervises ex-
port business. which is the main mar
ket for New Zealand butter, and COM
pels shippers TO grade their butter ac-
cording to quality. which is then
marked and guaranteed. The industry
seems to be in prosperous condition.
The dairy farms have improved their
herds with the addition of thorough
bred stock OF the leading dairy breeds.
Land suitable for dairy farms seems
TO bring as high price as in this co,n-
| try. and the price of creamery butter
seems high considering the distance
from the worlds leading markets.

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion Of Face Cured by

What appears to be slight nerve IS

The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.
It is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that a large
portion of the Canadian West was
untitled for agriculture To such an
extent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi-
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and aocks and herds
roamed the ranges. But tile agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradully experiments were
made. slowly at first but surely later
on. AS a result, to-day in Southern
Alberta, which was looked upon as
the ''arid belt" large quantities of the
finest wheat in the world are now
grown, and so satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the PAST two years and others
are in course Of erection, to satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.

facilities and the erection Of addition
al elevators and Touring mills, a large
ly increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pop
ulation in Southern Alberta in the past
year has been largely due to settlers
from the United States, who have

who have been uniformly successful

Building Up the Soil.

Professor Roberts. who for many
years was at the head of the Cornell
ithaca, n. " Experiment Station, in
a recent address made this remark
III l were twenty years younger l
should go up and down our country
emphasizing the work of plants in pro-
ducing soil productivity. Instead Of
using mallet, as 1 once did, to put
piece Of land in productive state, |
should use plants. Blessed be weeds.
Some are minute, but all are soil-build-
ers. They give their bodies back to
the soil and add to the supply of high
ly available plant food Tillage and
plants L would emphasize in soil
building"
Farmers are Indebted to DR.. Roberts
for SO persistently advocating, and
proving. too, the value of cultivation
to make available the immense amount
of potash stored in the sod. At first
the statement was ridiculed, but tie
doctor was known to be a cautious rs
we'll as a learned man. and not given
to making rash statements, so Others
investigated and found to their sur
prise that he was right. Then he AMI
others took up the question of the
raising of legumenOus plants and the
blowing Of them under to add nitrogen
to the soil which had been gathered
by the plants from that boundless res
ervoir, the air. Thus the two most
expensive plant foods became the least
expensive Then came his advocacy,
renewed persistently, Of the cover
crop. so that the plantless soil during
the winter is only to be found on
farms whose owners are too stubborn
to learn. These incidents are men
toned to point out anew the value to

When Lincoln Won His Spurs.

Leaving the question of his relative
standing in the profession at large for
further consideration, it is confidently
submitted that Lincoln won a credit
able position at the local bar, almost
at the outset of his career, among
contemporaries who were not only
capable lawyers, but men Of excep-

The Winter Egg Supply.

The poultry man is anxious to get
winter eggs. The price paid for eggs
in winter is enough to warrant consid-
cradle time and thought upon methods
of wintering and feeding the poultry
for winter egg production. The old
way of letting the chickens roost in
the trees or on fences usually keeps
healthy fowls and results in most ex-
cellent laying in the spring as the
weather gets warmer and more pleas
ant. But every farmers hens lay at
that time of year, and eggs get very
cheap. Winter eggs are profitable be.
cause of the great demand for them
during the winter season.
In spring the hens get variety OF
foods. They exercise running over the
fields, gathering a variety Of foods.
They are warm both day and night.
By surrounding them with similar
conditions during the winter months
winter eggs may be obtained A
warm, well-ventilated roosting place,
kept clean. is one essential.
A warm place, free from winds,
snow and rain, in which to exercise
is another. Then feed a variety OF
grain in cut straw or other litter in
this warm place so the hens may work
scratching the litter apart. Oats, with
wheat thrown into the cut straw, will
give them exercise. Near noon feed
the bran mash, including table scraps
and milk and at night full ration
Of corn. If cabbage or turnips given
raw can be fed to them, they will do
even better. Green bone, meat scraps,
grit. clean water are also helpful. If
these conditions can be met with in
the dead Of winter the hens will do
some laying, at least when eggs are
scarce and prices are high. Good ven-
tilation without a draft is very i'm
portant as draft often causes colds
and roup.

Contrary to general impression, the
fewer eggs a hen lays, the more are
they likely to be infertile, if we can
judge from experiments carried on at
the Maine Station. There an attempt
was made to breed downward in egg

mentors were surprised at finding an
unlooked-for obstacle, namely, the In
