WESTERN CANADA'S CROP YIELD

Americans Profited Largely and Send
Back satisfactory Reports.
The census branch Of the Department
Of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, has
completed its returns Of the showing Of
Western Canada's grain yield for 1908,
and the report makes very interesting
reading In the three provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which comprise what may be known as
Central Canada, there was 9 total
wheat yield Of about 107 100000 BUSH
els worth to the farmers about $780,
600, GOO; in addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other So, 100000. Letters have recent
ly been received from many Of the set
tiers from the United States. From
these, that of Rev. Oscar L. King has
been selected. He lives in the vicinity
Of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he

any Canadian Government agent. Mr..
King says:
l am well satisfied with Alberta.
This country offers excellent opportuni-
ties for anyone to make a good home
for himself and family if he is willing
to put up with a few hard knocks for
the first two or three years. But it is
worth a few hard knocks to get q 100
acre farm Of rich productive land with
no mortgage on it. This province is
| well fitted for grains, stock raising and
| dairying. We have found the climate
| generally healthful, more healthful
| than Michigan, and although the Their
mometer sometimes drops ito 40 de-
grees below zero in winter, yet we do
not seem to feel that temperature any
more than we did or 10 degrees be-
| low zero in Michigan. We like the
| winters
The Government takes great interest
in the education of the people and
| quickly aids the settlers in establishing
! schools where they are called for. The
! schools though graded differently than
! those in the States are efficient and ad-
yancing. Our great drawback has been
! the limited and inadequate railway IA
| cilities, but new roads are being rapid
| ly built and many more are projected
! through various parts Of the province.
! The new policy Of the Alberta Govern
ment to construct a great many branch
! lines throughout the province will
greatly help all parts of the country.
If those new settlers who have to go
| back considerable distance from ex-
listing railroads and towns to find free
| hOmesteadS will but locate along the
line of a projected railroad they will
in two or three years be near both
town and railroad. When l first came
to this country three and a hale years
ago the homestead l took up was 70
miles from a railroad town, now there
is a railroad % miles north, another
% miles south and a third is being
built through my neighborhood.
! 1 think the prairie country or coun-
try that is partly prairie offers much
better opportunities than the prairie
| portions.

CUTICURA CURED HIM.

Eczema Came on Legs and Ankles
Canadian Chief of Police Could
Not Wear Shoes Because of Bad
Scaling and Itching.
Il have been successfully cured of
dry eczema. l was inspecting the re-
moval of noXious weeds from the edge
Of a river and was constantly in the
dust from the weeds. At night l
cleansed my limbs, but felt a prickly
sensation. 1 paid no attention to it
for two years, but I noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. 1 did not
attend to it until it came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all sore
and scabby and l could not wear shoes
1 had to use carpet and felt slippers
for weeks. l got a cake of the CUT
cura Soap and some Cuticura Oint,
ment. In less than ten days l could
put on my boots and in less than three
weeks l was free from the COMPOUNDED

Vintage Nicknames.

We have nicknames for the vintages
which few persons except the wine
drinkers know. Thus the vintage of the
present year we call Zeppelin in honor
of the air navigators achievement and
because it is so high. Records show that
these nicknames were bestowed on vim
tages as far back as 1929, when the bad
watered wine was called Baptist
The sour wine of 1860 was called
Garibaldi and in memory of the Chinese
war the 1894 wine is. still known as
Wei-hai-wei. The vintages of 1896
promised much and gave little and was
nicknamed Ii Hung Chang, and another
nickname for the same years wine,
Moses, was given because the wine was
taken from the water principally

Rules for Successful Farming.

To my mind the ideal system of
management to maintain our income
from our farms with reduced labor and
capital must come about in the follow
ing manner:
More economical production in all
lines and reducing the amount Of labor
by growing much clover and grasses.
Keeping live stock to harvest these
crops and selling only finished pro-
ducts.
Turning the less profitable land into
pasture and grasses and working the
best land more intensively.
Growing cash or market crops that
give high returns for the labor en-
ployed and fertilizer used, such as DO
tatoes, fruit, etc.-B. Lara, Wisconsin,

When and How to Prime.

1t is very important that the healing
process should start soon after the
wound is made, otherwise the cambium
will be killed back quite a distance
from the exposed surface, and healing
will be greatly retarded. For this rea-
son winter pruning should be avoided
particularly in frosty weather. In the
early fall or late spring the cambium
is active and wounds made at this time
start to heal at once, and there is lit
tie or no dying back Of the cambium.

Mothers to Learn How to Control Their

full suggestion at all times. The school

She is unmarried and 10 and not

black hair, which would have been white
long ago, she says, if she had not learned
to control absolutely those emotions
which, in fear or anxiety, transmute
themselves into chemical processes that
bleach the hair. She has also kept the

Tremendous Cost of Prairie Dogs

Tremendous Cost of Prairie Dogs.
In the state of Texas alone prairie
dogs eat annually enough grass to sup
port ], 562,5O0 cows. Utterly useless, the
little animal is pest so dreaded that
the forestry service has undertaken his
determination. Poison is killing him,
wherever he now flourishes and another
resource of the farmer is safeguarded.
Who would think that the prairie dog,
the shy and amusing little rodent that
we like to watch before the door Of
his burrow at the Zoo, would ever be-
come the subject Of the government in
PREVENTION or endanger the success of
stock raising? Yet such is the fact,
says the Technical World Magazine.
Out on the national forests which Uncle
Sam is guarding for the use of the pub
lie, expert hunters have gone after the
prairie dog with zeal, ingenuity and
poison and literally exterminated them
in great numbers, because some of their
choicest bottom lands have had the
grazing ruined for stock by the indus
trious burrowing Of the dogs"

Director Woods of the Maine agricul-
tural experiment station summarizes
his suggestions as to successful potato
growing as follows. What he says
about thorough preparation of the soil
is applicable to that to be used for any
crop.
Select highly fertile land, so situated
that it will suffer as little as possible
from either excessive rain or from
drOughts.
Thoroughly prepare the soil and fer
ftlize literally.
Spray for insects and blight, early
and often.
Keep the crop free from weeds and
the surface of the soil loose during the
whole season.
Do not let anything prevent the po-
tato field from receiving constant care
Vastly more failures in potato grow
ing can be traced to neglect Of crop
than to lack Of knowledge.

Cost of Raising n Calf.

In an experiment to ascertain the
cost Of raising a calf Prof. Shaw of
Michigan station took a dairy calf and
kept an accurate account of the ex-
pense Of feeding for one year from its
birth. The amounts of feeds used in
that time were 3S1 pounds of whole
milk, 2,56S pounds of skim milk, 1862
pounds Of silage, 219 pounds of beet
pulp, 1,254 pounds Of hay, 1,247 pounds
Of grain. 147 pounds of roots, II pounds
Of alfalfa meal and 90 pounds of green
corn. The grain ration consisted of
three parts each of corn and oats and
one part Of bran and oilmeaI. At the
end of the year the calf weighed 500
pounds at cost of $3.50 for feed. The
calf was a Holstein.
