Western Canada. Happy Prospects

Western Canada's Happy Prospects.
In no year since the development OF
Western Canada began has spring
brings this year. In no preceding
spring has there been greater aSSur-
ance of advancing development and
prosperity. The movement of immlgra-
ton has already assumed large proper
tionS, and is as desirable in character
as it is satisfactory in volume; from
across the Atlantic sturdy, industri-
Gus and thrifty newcomers are arriv-
ing in large numbers, homeseekers
from Ontario and the other older
provinces are coming in steady
stream, and from across the interna-
tional boundary movement is already
in full flow which, it is confidently
predicted, will beat the records of all
previous years; special settlers trains
are crossing the line, loaded with eff
fects, actual material wealth being
thus brought into the country at the
rate of millions of dollars worth
monthly
The movement is so unprecedently
large that extra Dominion Immigra-
ton officials have had to be provided
at both North Portal and at Emerson,
and it is estimated that the total num-
Der of new settlers from the United
States this year will be 10000 at least,
and may run well up toward 100000.
Last years total of new settlers from
the South was 53,723; thus the area
that will be placed in wheat and other
grains this year will greatly exceed
that of last year. Settlers are making
extraordinary efforts to get on their
lands and begin seeding operations.
The price of wheat now, away above
the dollar mark, is incentive enough,
and when one has in view the splen-
did results that the past few years
have shown, it is not to be wondered
at that the present will be the banner
year for immigration to Canada. Ask
your nearest Canadian government
agent for rates of transportation, and
he will also send you illustrated
pamphlets.

rre,tmeut for Potato scab.

Ii is true that as early as lS42 q
German investigator suggested that the
trouble was caused by a parasitic or
ganism, but later it was definitely De-
termined that the fungus, Sorosporium
scabies. which he had isolated, was not
invariably the caues of the trouble. 1t
was not until 1890 that Prof. Bolley
definitely determined that potato scab
was caused by fungus parasite. I'm
til resistant strains could be bred up
If was necessary that some temporary
preventive be applied, says Farm,
Stock and Home. Treatment of sea-
bies may be made by the use Of for
malin or corrosive sublimate (blchlo-
ride Of mercury. The latter is per-
haps the most effective, but it should
be handled with the greatest caution,
as it is very powerful poison when
taken internally. The solution is pre-
pared by dissolving two ounces Of cor
rosive sublimate in two gallons of hot
water. When the poison is well dis
solved. add twelve gallons Of water,
making fourteen gallons in all. The
potatoes, which should be reasonably
clean should be put In gunny sack
and the whole suspended in the sOlu-
tion for an hour ard half. Then
empty them out on a floor to dry thor
onohly before cutting and planting.

Wash for Nursery Stock.
Illinois State Fair, 1905.

Dipping nursery stock in lime-su-
)hur wash or other insecticides has re-
Gently been much advocated as a sub
stitute, for fumiga ton with hydrocyanic
acid gas. The station at Geneva, n Y,
finds. however, that this treatment, if
used at all, must be handled with care
to secure scale destruction without in
juring the trees. With the sulphur
wash, exposure of the trees for too
long a time or at too high temperature
resulted in injury while with any Of
the materials used, exposure Of the
roots to the mixture resulted in serious
injury to the stock. For nurserymen
the station still recommends fumigation
as most effective and least liable, to
injury, and would advise orchardists
to use the lime-sulphur as a spray
after the trees are set, rather than as
Clip when they are received.-Farn

my food did not sustain me and
it became plain that l must change.

and in two weeks l could walk a mile

Not Finished.

Once on a time a lonely little boy
began praying to the Lord to send him a
baby brother. Regularly every night,
before retiring, he got down on his
knees and offered up his petition. Fin
ally he suggested that he had waited a
long time, and hoped the Lord would
hurry UP matters.
In few days the ''little brother ar
rived Looking at the baby little bit,

Confinement of Fowls.

In the old days it was thought that
hens should not be confined to the least
extent. but people have come to think
differently nowadays. The poultry
books of a few years ago were full of
recommendation to give hens plenty
Of room. advising ten or twelve square
feet of floor space per hen. There is
no doubt that ample space per hen is
beneficial to an appreciable extent, but
there are few commercial poultrymen
who find it necessary to devote so much
space as that. Experiments recently
conducted have shown that hen with
five SQUARE feet of space, the latter
showing evidences of congestion and
inaction. AS it is less expensive to
build low henhouse than a higher one,
the former are more popular, and by
this means it is practical to give the
hens more room.
