CANlDA'S coon TIMES.
The Immigration During 1906 Was
216,o00.

While It is well to heed every
word Of caution from the leaders In
commerce and finance and to avoid
all Speculative ventures that lack
solid business foundation, It is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot In Canada's present era Of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:
The Dominion has in q commercial
sense plenty Of money, and our lead.
ing financial institutions are in po-
sition to lend freely in the United
States. The chief productive enter
prises Of Canada are not buoyed up
by an era Of dangerous speculation,
but are following substantial busi-
ness methods and finding safe. and
continuous markets for their goods.
We are not bolstering up any indus
tries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoverish the people as
a whole, and ultimately lead to col
lapse through the failure of the arti.
ficial aid. There is no extreme pro-
lection in Canada such as would Gre
ate great fortunes for few at the
expense Of the general public and
lead to disruption and catastrophe.
The prosperity of Canada has no ar
tificial foundation being based on a
healthy and substantial expansion of
trade and industry, with proportion
ate extension Of productive settlement
to new areas.
It is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
but every line will bring new terri
tory within the limits of profitable
occupation, and will create prosper
GUS settlements to bear the burdens
and repay the outlay. We are not
exhausting mineral resources, for It
is quite reasonable to assume that,
although mineral wealth is never
permanent, ours will during the
measurable future develop far
greater productive capacity than at
present. Our timber wealth can be
made continuous by q judicious pol
Icy. And agriculture, the real foun-
dation Of our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on rail-
way construction. We are not In
the flush Of railway mania that
could bring it's punishment through
the useless duplication of lines. The
gigantic railway enterprises that
now stimulate every line OF business
In Canada will create a new Domin.
ion, and thus render easy the heavy
burdens Of debt now freely assumed.
Canada's era Of prosperity has been
unprecedented. but there is no sign
Of weakness and no cause for lack
of confidence. While our growth is
normal and healthy, we need have no
alarm at its rapidity." This article
might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada, where thousands OF
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
Importation an addition of 216.000 to
Its population. OF this the United
States contributed 63.7S1. The agents
Of the Canadian government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere, say
that this number will be largely In
creased during 1907.

MAKING OF A GOOD COW.
First Fifteen Months OF Calls Life
Determines Her Future.

A wise old dairy farmer once said
to Gov. Hoard, "The COW is either
made or unmade in the first Is
months of her life." Questioned far
ther he stated that he had come to his
conclusion after years Of observation
and practice. He had noticed this:
That where farmer took the best
possible care Of his heifer calves, kept
them dry and clean. fed them well on
good growing food and kept them
going in strong, growthy manner, II
they were well bred from good dairy
stock, nearly all would make good
cows, whereas, II they were ever so
well bred, II they were neglected, and
badly cared for, II was rarely any OF
them would make good cows.
I'VE believe firmly In the truth OF
what this old farmer said" adds Gov.
Hoard. More good cows are spoiled
by neglect insufficient food. during
the first Is. months than from any
other cause. &
Good blood. dairy heredity and all
that is necessary. II Is the founda-
tion. But IL we are going to make
good cows out Of these heifers we
must pay close attention to how we
start them on the road.
For years we have been rearing
heifer calves. Some Of them we have
sold and some OF them we have kept
We are greatly impressed by our ex-
perience with the truth of the old
farmers theory. II In true that we
take great pains that the heifer shall
be well born. But that Is only half
the proposition. the FIRST half.
If she IL to have good, large capac-
ity she must be steadily well nour-
ished from the beginning to the time
she Is first In calf. This done she has
a greatly increased chance Of profit to
her owner. In buying heifers II is
worth good deal to know how they
have been reared. OF one thing we
are certain, and that Is that II pays to
feed the heifer skim milk daily till
she Is 10 to IL months old. together
with a pint to a quart OF oats. Such
feeding with good care turns out

A HieH.cLAss DAIRY.
Fine Quality OF MIX Supplied to se-
Iect Trade.

A Massachusetts, physician owns
and operates dairy farm where over
200 cows are kept the year round. The
milk lie sold to high class of buyers
In Boston. Four kinds of whole milk
are sold, also two kinds OF skinned
milk and three qualities of cream. A
special grade OF milk. testing six per
cent. is produced for convalescents
and sick folks. who need the richest
milk possible. Jerseys and Guernseys
supply this high grade OF milk. The
milk furnished especially for babies
contains about four per cent. butter
fat and II milked from Ayrshire cows.
Jerseys, Ayrshires. Guernseys. Devons
and Shorthorns are all used Ia this
dairy. Every stable and barn on the
place is kept neat and clean. and no
foul odors are allowed to permeate
them. The mornings milk from this
dairy is cooled. bottled and delivered
to the many customers In time for
their tise on the breakfast table. But
couple Of cents more per quart Is
charged for this milk than for that
coming from less sanitary surround,

The posterior portion OF the body. It
should, Of course, have good circum-
ference and II properly proportioned
t will add beauty as well as utility to
the COW.
At B is shown the udder as It should
collapse on itself, like a glove, after
the milk has been extracted. A poorly
balanced udder is shown at G: 1t is
hung too far forward on the stomach,
and the teats are not evenly placed,
resulting in a great inconvenience in
milking. At d may be seen an udder
deficient in the front part; at e an
udder that is also lacking In balance,
the teats are not evenly placed, and
there is not sufficient development of
the anterior region. At F is shown a
small udder. There Is not enough
room here to permit the rapid elabora-
ton Of milk, which Is of prime impor-
tance, as II is a well-known fact that
comparatively small quantity OF
milk Is In the udder when milking
commences. II Is likewise thought by
scientists that the ability of a COW to
produce milk abundantly is deter
mined by the number Of cells, and
hence the area available for the dis
tribution of blood and other fluids
through the udder tissues is too re-
stricted in this instance. A small
udder is therefore poor sign Of deep
milking powers, though large udder,
owing to the character Of tissues that
may enter into its formation, Is not al
ways a sign of good milker. At G
Is shown an udder much cut up, with
very large and poorly placed teats; 1t
is what may be termed a restricted
udder, though rather elongated. At H
appears another form of udder often
met with, which, like that shown at
G, Is somewhat funnel-shaped In char
acter It has not sufficient rotundity,
does not come well forward on the
stomach, and is lacking In develop
ment In the posterior region.
