Firm Land Prices.

One of the incidents of the late finan-
cial panic is the firmness with which
land values have passed through ma
tional crisis. In other paics of 1851
1873 and 1898 prices of real estate de
clined both in rural districts and great
cities. Prices for farm products ruled
lower. rents reacted and the earning
ability of real estate investments dc.
clined.
While industrial investments Snow
largely decreased earnings for the past
eighteen months, the income from ag-
ricultural lands has enlarged through
increased production and higher prices
for farm products. There has been
l1~-er migration from the cities to the
country Of people out of employment
who had formerly worked at industrial
production. The weakness Of skilled
professions as compared with hus-
bandry Is evidenced by the great army
of unemployed that is compelled 10 ac-
cept enforced idleness through the du.!.
ness of Industrial enterprises.
The independence insured by the
ownership of country homes and the
certainty of living incomes from small
farms is turning the attention of many
inhabitants of cities TO the advantages
of farm life as compared to the uncer
tainty of employment In great cities.
'ie demand for small holdings is
breaking up the big ranches and sparse
ly settled districts are becoming ran
idly densely populated by immigrants
and energetic people who are striving
for an independent living.
The vast areas that are being re-
claimed by irrigation are being sub.
divided into small farms and will be
operated under a system of scientific
cultivation. Rev. Mr.. Dedrich has set
the example of what can be achieved
on a small farm by purchasing fifteen
acres and mourning Il debt of several
thousand dollars near Philadelphia. and
,~nrating the small farm with Il dairy
liquidated the mortgage from the
income OF the fifteen acres, and demon
Strated that small farms intelligently
managed are ample to support large
families.
Farm lands are steadily advancing
in value. There is no method to en-
large the area of farm land except by
reclamation of swamps and arid dis
tricts, while population is steadily in
creasing and the domestic consumption

and cultivating necessary. therefore If
YOU can double the yield of strawber
ries by making the soil very rich. you
will be more than repaid by adding this
excessive supply of fertility.
Remember that your strawberry
plantation will require no more hoeing
wedding or horse cultivation on rich
soil than on poor soil. Thus. If YOU
can increase the yield from 100 bushels
an acre to 200 bushels an acre by add
ing $50 worth of commercial fertilizer
or other fertilizers. you can readily see
how profitable will he the investment
in this fertilizer.
1t is true that you can raise a good
fair crop of strawberries on almost any
soil which will produce a good fair
crop of corn or potatoes. Most people
are satisfied with IN ordinary crop of
strawberries. such as can he secured on
this ordinary soil. hut | state positive
ly that you can make no better invest
ment than to heavily fertilize every

Strawberries.
When to enrich the strawberry plan
ia lion is an important question. If you
intend to apply barnyard manure, ii is
we'll TO spread il upon the land the sea-
son previous to setting out the straw
berry plantation. If you can not apply
it then, another good plan is to cover
the strawberry plantation wtSa good
stable manure at the opening of win
ter or during winter. This will enrich
the bed if left on until the spring ans
are over. but the objection TO this plan
Is that the iruit bearing beds are re-
seeded with the weeds IF seed ard
grass which can only be removed at
considerable expense. If commercial
fertilizers are to he applied. you should
wait until the strawberry plants have
made some growth. so that they may
be ready TO take up the plant food
Therefore. in July. go over the newly
planted strawberry bed and scatter the
fertilizer between the plants and be-
tween the rows SO that it covers pretty
nearly all of the ground. BE careful
not to allow the fertilizer to fall upon
the leaves Of the plants. especially if
they are moist. as commercial fertiliZ-
ers will often burn the leaves

Power of PInnf Life.

The power OF the ordinary plantain
leaf is well illustrated in an article in
the STRAND Magazine" by a writer who
constructed n pitch floor as follows
The ground was scraped, and then n
3-inch layer Of sand was spread over
It, and on this sand pinch layer of
soft roofing pitch was placed. This
had been down for several weeks when
we noticed one part of the pitch break
ing open like a miniature volcano. On
examination we found some green
shoots coming through the pitch. The
shoots continued TO grow in spite of
the great heat caused by the sun shin
ing on the black surface of the pitch.
They finally assumed fiourishing con-
dition. II should be added that before
laying the sand Il sheet OF heavy tar
paNer covered the ground.

What Former Oregon Farmer
ThinLs of Xasfern Canada.

Thinks of Western Canada.
Albert Nelson left Benton County,
Oregon, in September, 1904, for the
great Canadian prairies. To quote
from his letter: L was greatly sur
prlsed to find such an immense stretch
of rich virgin prairie still almost I'M
occupied in the very heart of North
America. The splendid crops of oats.
wheat. barley, potatoes and hay l be-
held in the settlements made me very
eager for a piece of this rich soil, and
| soon located in the Goose Lake coun-
try. We have here q great stretch of
the rich deep clay loan of The Sas-
katchewan-a soil heavy and hard TO
break, but particularly well adapted for
the retention Of moisture and produc-
ton of the bright No. l hard wheat,
and great crops of oats. barley, flax and
potatoes. | had go bushels Of oats
weighing A pounds to the bushel per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yield. Wheat yielded from 20
to 30 bushels per acre We have all
done well here, and could name many
Americans who came here with means
to go ahead, who have done big al
ready. For homesteads one has to go
further west, but the best prairie can
be bought here for from $12 to SIG
per acre The climate is dry and
healthy. This is the regular Saskatch-
evan fall weather-frosty nights and
bright sunny days-ideal for threshins
and hauling out of wheat. The trails
are dusty, as thousands of wheat teams
are moving towards the elevators.
The sight of it makes one stop ard
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation. Heavy snowfall is the ex-
ception here. Snow generally falls in
December and goes off In March. 1t
sometimes gets very cold, but the Sas-
katchewan farmer does not fear the
cold. Winter is his season Of rest. The
