most important work in hand is to purify
the blood so that every organ will get the
full benefit of healthy circulation. There
is no remedy We know of so good as that
old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills.
Each pill contains one grain of the solid
extract of sarsaparilla blended with two
grains of combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One or
two taken every night for awhile will pro-
duce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and are sold in every drug

THE PROGRESS OF THE CANA
DIAN WEST.
Nearly 100000 of an Increase In
Canadian immigration i'm 1906.

Nearly 100000 of an Increase In
Canadian Immfs grafton in 1906.
The progress of new country cannot
be better ascertained than by noting
the increase of railroad mileage in us
transportation system, and judged by
this standard, the Canadian West leads
all the countries in the world during
the current year. Thirty years ago
there was not one hundred miles Oh
railroad west of the Great Lakes, ana
very little prospect Of a transcontl-
mental route for many years to come,
but by the end of 1885 the Canadian
Pacific Railway was within measurable
distance of completion, and last year,
twenty years later, fully 5000 niles OF
railroad traversed the provinces OF
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
In the past year the work Of reilroad
construction has been vigorously prose
cuted, and by the end Of 1906, some
5000 miles of completed railroad has
been added, making a total OF fully
IL, 900 miles in the three great grain
producing provinces of Canada. Such
ties Of the country is bound to make
good times not only in the districts
where the railroads are being built,
but throughout the entire west. Allow
ing $4,000 a mile for construction, the
sum Of $1OO,OOO,OOO will be put in cir
culation, and this in Itself should cause
good times to prevail in a land where
work is plentiful, wages are high, and
the cost of living is moderate.
But the building of new railroads
through Western Canada means
greater benefit to the country than
merely the money put in circulation by
the cost Of construction. Additional
railway building means the 2pe"ing of
new agricultural districts and an addi-
tional area under crop, a largely in
creased output of grain to foreign mar
kets with consequent financial returns;
the erection of elevators and the growth
of villages. towns and cities and every
thing else that makes for the progress
of national life and the opening up of
additional thousands of free home
steads so extensively advertised by the
Canadian government agent, whose ad-
dress appears elsewhere.
1t was stated on the floor OF the
Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative hat ten years
from now would see the bulk Of the
population of Canada residing west of
the Great Lakes, and if the work of
railway building during the present
year is any criterion, the prophecy
made by the Canadian statesman may
be easily fulfilled inside of the time
stated. During the present year no less
than $4,000 persons have found homes
in the Canadian West, of whom 57,796
were Americans who have seen the
great possibilities of this new West,
and have decided to cast in their lot
with it. Certainly, our neghbor north
of the 10th parallel is making I great
record, and deserves the success that
appears to be coming its way.

Utilizing Corn Fodder.

SOrn OCGcr.
It is desirable to utilize all the food
value there is in the corn fodder,
though the usual way Of feeding it to
the stock is a very wastefGl method
Where the daily supply Of fodder is
thrown in the barnyard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed, SO far
as the feeding value is concerned. The
leaves and the tops are all stock will
eat. From One-third to One-half the
length of the fodder is readily eaten in
racks without cutting When the stalks
are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper
half may be cut for feed with a sharp
broadaX and heavy block If but few
cattle are fed. For larger herd we
have adopted large shearing knife,
homemade, which soon shears enough
for a days feeding.
The cutting knife or shears is best

moved, get a stout piece of iron (G)
about eight inches long and one and
One-quarter inches thick. Have about
five inches of this slit up to receive the
back of the saw.
Punch holes through both and rivet
together. Near the end of this iron
have a hole drilled or turn an eye on
it to receive a strong bolt Rivet a
strong handle on the other end, as
shown at C, long enough to give a good
leverage, say two and one-half to three
feet. Grind the blade down to a good,

Value of Line BreeHinr

To the man who knows what he

otherwise. Line-bred means bred with

breeding, and the longer the duration
of such breeding, the more prepotent
the sire is likely to be.

Feeding Animals.

The common mode Of feeding ami
mails is to give them grain in a separate
trough from hay or fodder, and at diff
ferent times. Such method is preferred
because it saves labor, but the best re-
suits are obtained by mixing the ground
grain with coarse food that has been
passed through the feed cutter. Less
food will then be required to obtain re-
suits, because the mixed food will be
better digested and assimilated than
when the substances are given sepa-
rately.

pigs are desirable on the farm is an
