CuItivating Young Trees.

The soil will dry very rapidly and to
great depth if allowed to get hard
and compact. There is but small
space left for air In solid soils, and
from this fact they become hot and dry
to a great depth In summer, while If
air is present as it is in loose soils (be-
ing such poor conductor of heat), 1t
will allow only a small portion of soil
to become hot. which soon cools at
night and Is filed with a copIous dew,
not only retaining the moisture al
ready In the soil, but also adding to it
at a season when moisture is especially
desirable. Newly set trees are always
benefited by cultivation, because all
their roots are surface roots and can
not thrive in hot dry, compact soil.

Timothy and Glover Hay.

Timothy hay is the one most COM
monty grown ON the farm and found
In the market, according to Pennsyl-
vania bulletin. Timothy sells for a
higher price in the market than other
hay, and Is regarded as being particu-
larry adapted to horses. 1t is deficient
In protein, and for that reason should
be fed with grain ration of a nitro
genous nature. For horses no better
basis for a ration can be found than
timothy hay and oats. 1t is less valu-
able for cattle and sheep. Glover hay
is next to timothy in common use, and
the two are more often found mixed
than either is found alone. The nitro
genous nature of the clover aids In
supplying the deficiency of protein in
the timothy. Clover is more valuable
than timothy for cattle and sheep, but
is not considered so satisfactory for

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL.
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up Immense Area Of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx OF settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal OF the public, the question OF
transportation has proved to be a Sc
rious one.
1t will, therefore, be good news to
everyone interested in Western Can.
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by G.
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do its share towards moving
the crop OF 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water.
and thus assist in removing a serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port

rie schooner, distance of 1876 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
Is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West even IL Mr.. Hays
declines to be bound to a time limit
with the exactitude OF a stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be

The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 100000 bushels
and, with the increased acreage which
Is confidently expected to be put un-
der crop next year, it is safely calcu.
lated that fully 100000 900 bushels will
be harvested In 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are. therefore, apparent. and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up of additional thousands of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent OF the Canadian Govern.
