PREPARATION FOR COTTON
Flowing and Fertilization Will Be
 Found Advantaaeous Just Now.
OF AMERICA

] FiOWinQ ana FcFNlltLaIoh "#t pc Found Advantageous Just Now.
 The average cotton planter has but i Httie conception of The necessity of thoroughly preparing cotton land. Most of them regard blowing as sim ply a necc- itl unly when tAe land
 fs ogerrun with grass or weeds. How eyer many are getGnG out of the idea and realize that blowing at other times is a prime obJect in securing ac3d crops md in his connection they are particularly realizing that fertilization CT feeding to the plant certain plant food at the time of blow ing. Is also a very important item nee essary to the successful outturn of crop. especially at this season of the year. when there is little else to as. blowing can be carried on to great advantage, and # will lessen the amount of work necessary later in the season. when there is q rush on the farm.
 There are certain rules which must be observed on the farm in blowing at this season There is a possibility that the new soil will be too wet and should not be turned up and allowed to sun-dry This permits the plant food to escape. and more than this, 1t practically deadens the soil so ex- posed in it's wet state
 Narrowing the soil Is practically nn- heard of in cotton farming, and yet there are tens of thousands of acres of corn and other grain land in the great grain belt that is always thor oughly narrowed before the crop is planted. Farmers who will harrow q small piece of cotton land will find the experiment very profitable. The idea to be carried out under the pres ent conditions is to accomplish as much as possible with the least ex- penditure of labor To do this it is necessary to have q half dozen things. but early blowing Is one of the most seential-thorough cultivation, a good season. and above all, high fertiliza. uon and proper handling of the crop will work wonders. Try the plan of special preparation on a few acres. LOOK out for the difference in prof its and see if it will not justify fewer aeres.-J. c. MeAuliffe. in Farm and Home .

IMMIGRATION FROM SOUTH EXPECTED
U, S. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED BY WESTERN
 CANADA.

St. Paul. Minn. Feb. 9. 190S.-Pres' ent indications are that the Canadian Northwest will draw an exceptionally heavy movement of new settlers from the United States this year. It should suFpass the banner record for l9oE This is not only based on the fact that the Americans have come to realize generally that the Canadian Northwest offers splendid opportuni- ties. but also because the railroads have awakened 10 the fact and are offering rates to the Canadian North west which are exceptionally favor able.
 The lines which lead to St Paul from the east and south are offering homeseekers' rates to the Canadian Northwest this year which are on parity with those i'll existence to the southwest for a couple of seasons.
 These rates can be obtained from any agent of the Canadian govern ment, who will be pleased to give all information possible regarding those districts which offer the greatest in dueements to settlers. The weather throughout Western Canada has been remarkably good this year. 4 tele- gram from the winter wheat belt of Southern Alberta dated at Cardston, Alberta, January 29th. says:
 This winter up to January 9 was nothing short of a marvel. in fact, 1t was the finest anyone can remember for twenty-five years though there have been others nearly as good. The days were fine, sunny and warm with light frosts at night. Overcoats and gloves, etc, were discarded by most people in the day time. There was so little frost in the ground that post holes could be dug without any trouble after the first inch was broken through Winter wheat remained fresh and green although there has been no snow since the September storm. If there is an early spring. winter wheat should gain a great start"
 Amongst the reports of the yield of last year the following extracts are taken:
 H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta writ ing on November, 1907. says: T have 70 acres in crop, 50 acres of wheat and seven acres of oats. My average yield of oats was 8 bushels to the acre, and of wheat 45 bushels. The value to me was s35 per acre"
 J. F Hayceek, of Magrath. writes in November: T had 65 acres in win ter wheat. which went so bushels to the acre; oats averaged so bushels. also had 12 tons of hay worth BIO per ton. I got 600 bushels of pota- toes from three acres of land; got eight tons per acre from five acres of sugar beet"
 J. F Bradshaw, of Magrath. had 1.030 acres of winter wheat last year which averaged 391a bushels to the acre The value of his farm products per acre was: Wheat. s31.60; oats, s11.20 and barley. s25.15.

OPPORTUNITIES tn ONIONS.
Great Profits Are Possible to Careful
 intelligent Planters.

t#AANtth 1@ftN t t-ttAtN- 7s
 Probably no vegetable shows a greltcr increase in consumption than the onion. Not oHlY Is domestic stock largely increased. hat Che importation of Spanish and Bermuda onion Is of great volume annually,
 The onion is not only nutritious but possesses great medicinal proper ties for clearing the complexion and renovating the system.
 Market gardeners are now giving as much attention to caltiyatiny on ions as in raising cabbage, anu al though the volume of production shows reasonable growth the market has not been glutted with the stock
 The Cnioa l. voracious feeder, and thrives best on rich soil. much lands composed largely of humus are admirably adapted to the crop. The land needs to be well underdraiaed and protected from overflow. as wa ter standing on the crop for any length of time will destroy the bulbs.
 Commercial fertilizers are used. and these fertilizers should be rich in pot ash to insure 8 good bettomiug of the crop. Not all muck lands are natural lF adapted to onion culture. but can easily be made adaptable to the crop.
 Success in onion culture demands industry and vigilance
 The white and yellow onion require five pounds of seed sown te the acre, in rows fourteen inches apart, to in sure q good stand
 The large white globe variety re- quire six pounds of seed per acre The weeds must be kept down be tween the rows with a hand cultiya- tor and out of the rows by hand weed ing Onion raising is an industry ad mirably adapted to the farmer on a large scale. or to truck gardeners who sell their truck around cities. It is an easy cultivated crop. Like picking berries. children ten or twelve years of age can do much of the weeding.
 In raising onions the fashion of the market should be considered. In the East the small white and yellow on- ions are the most popular. In the West the large white, and in the South the red onion. The flat bulbs are the most popular, and the color can be improved by ths proper meth cd of harvesting the crop. which should be stored in a dry shed after having been cured two to four days in the sun. The crop. like the apple, can be made most attractive by prop CT grading and marketing in crates.

General Demund

of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine ne-manufaetured by the Cali. fornia Fig Syrup Co, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cent per bottle.

Pest of lack Rabbits,

Jack rabbits are said to be so numer-
GUS in the Antelope valley of California
that the ranehmen are in despair. The
animals are becoming so fierce that they
are actually breaking down the fences
around the adjacent fields and eating
crops down to the roots. Not content
with this, they are swarming into the
desert towns and invading the front
yards of the jewellers. The citizens of
Lancaster turned out recently and made
a roundup. They put fence across the
road between fences surrounding fields
on either side, and IN a short time drove
in and killed with clubs over five hundred
lack rabbits. The people of the valley
are considering the ACCESSIBILITY of invit-
ing Los Angeles to join in a general
slaughter. They think several hundred
men and boys, on horseback, might be
able to kill 10000 of the pesky cotton
tails
