ferent kinds do not exhaust the soil in
the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
of weeds. Upon the above principles
Is based a regular succession of crops.
Though the system of rotation IS
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description Of soil which will answer
at all times, and OF the demand for
different kinds Of produce. On clayey
are generally alternated with grain
crops, and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips, beets, potatoes and
clover. On rich soils this system of
alternate husbandry is most conducive
to the plentiful production of food,
both for men and animals. One por-
ton OF a farm would thus be always
under grain crops, while the other por-
ton was growing roots or cultivated
grasses; but, as the major part of ar
able lands can not be preserved in
state of fertility with even this kind Of
management, it IS requisite that the
portion of the farm which is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
for two or three years, in order to give
it time to recruit. The following is a
good rotation of crops: First year,
clover; second, clover; third, corn;
fourth, oats; fifth, wheat The clover
does we'll with oats, and after an early
moving can be very well prepared for
wheat.

Care of Cows.

During the summer and other sea-
sons when the weather is mild it Is
the custom on many farms to allow
the COWS to remain In the barn lot
over night. Also, often this lot lies
between the dwelling and the barn, in
which case the area becomes very OBJ
jectionable. The manure which accu-
mulates in lot where the COWS spend
the night soon becomes a nuisance,
besides being wasted.
It is best either to stall the COWS
during mild weather or to turn them
out to pasture at night after the milk
ing is done. In the stalls the manure
will not be scattered over large areas
about the place, and will be in po-
sition to be saved. If the COWS are
turned into the pasture for the night,
the manure will be so far removed

from the home that it will not be a
nuisance, and it will be on the ground
where none of 1t will be wasted and
where it will do the most good with
The least amount of work
If the COWS are to be stalled during
the entire year, the stable must be
well ventilated, SO the animals will
not suffer with heat at night This
can be easily done by providing plenty
OF doors and windows. Keeping them
stalled at times when they could be

QUANTITY, QUALITY AND PRICE

The Three Essentials That Are Civ
ing Western Canada Greater I'M
pulse than Ever This Year.
The reports from the grain fields OF
Central Canada (Which comprises the
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with
previous years in proving that this
portion of the continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but 1t has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price, and
from all parts Of an area of about
100000 square miles there comes the
strong refrain of cOntentment and
satisfaction. In the distribution OF
the conditions causing it no district
has been overlooked.
Various estimates Of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader so much
S what has been done individually.
The grand total--say 130,000,000 bush
els-may have its effect on the grain
prices of the world; it may be inter
esting to know that in the worlds
markets the wheat crop of Canada
has suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India is now factor
in the making of prices. If so to-day,
what will be its effect five or ten years
from now, when, instead OF there be-
ing seven million acres under crop,
with a total yield of 125,00O,O00 or
13O, 900 900 bushels, there will be from
1900, 900 to 3O,O00,000 acres in wheat
with a yield of from 325, 100000 to
600,000000 bushels. When it is con-
sidered that the largest yield in the
United States but slightly exceeded
zoe, 100000 bushels, the greatness OF
these figures may be understood. Well,
such is a safe forecast, for Canada has
the land and it has the soil. Even to-
day the Province of Saskatchewan, one
of the three great wheat growing
provinces of Canada, with 100000
acres under wheat, produces nearly
90 900, 900 bushels, or upwards Of one
tenth of the greatest yield of the Unit
ed States And Saskatchewan is yet
only in the beginning Of its develop
ment. AS Lord Grey recently pointed
out in speaking on this very subject,
this years crop does not represent
one-tenth of the soil equally fertile
that is yet to be brought under the
plough.
Individually, reports are to hand of
yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty
five bushels to the acre. Scores of
yields are reported of forty and some
as high as sixty bushels. The farmer,
who takes care of his soil, who gets
MS seed-bed ready early, is certain of
a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.

at an early age, and at 10 years old
ordinary trees will yield from 10 to
20 bushels Of pears. The trees usual
ly begin to bear at five years Of age.
The sixth year each tree will net rs
cents, the seventh year 90 cents, and
the eighth year 81, the ninth year 81
and tenth year 81 per tree. By plant
ing "a feet apart rs trees can be set
to the acre This would give a net
return of 5000 an acre the tenth year,
which would be equal to $4,000 in
vestment at per cent This is very
conservative estimate. We have seen
ten-year-old trees at different places
which yielded from 10 to 20 bushels,
and large trees which yielded from 30
to so bushels
Ten acres of the sand pears at the
above conservative estimate would
bring $4,000 income, or equal to a
$4,000 investment, at per cent.
