EXCELLENT TRADE In
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all of Canada, and espe-
cially in the Western Provinces of
Canada, there is a ~buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully war
ranted by every condition. The crops
OF the past rear were what was e
pected, and the prices. for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers in a. class by
themselves. Many of them are indie.
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is well under
way in almost every district, and the
prospects are that a vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, in Southern AL
berta, steam and gasoline outfits, hun
dreds of them. are breaking up the
prairie at a tremendous pace, but
they work night and day. AS Don as
it becomes dark, gangs are changed,
a head light attached, and on, on
through the night until the first
streak of dawn, these giant monsters
with their seven or eight gangs of
breaking plows, keep up the work.
Then the more modest farmer is put
ting in the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country be like in Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex.
panse of wheat field. And there Will
be a market for it, because it is the
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada is sound and good. The grain
production of 1909 has been the great
factor in establishing the reputation
OF Western Canada, and il is worth
talking about. 1t surpassed all previ-
Gus records, both in regard to quality
and quantity, and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and a
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons when a
~falling-off will occur, and it is the fall
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
in the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far in the
output of grain and it would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate or
increase is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some u%nreason-
able people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an ever faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
pie are the ones who see flaws in the
situation as soon as an indication is
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.

swings from the top. The gate swings
outward, and cannot be entered I'm,
less it is held open by an attendant.
The gate swings between the posts
in such manner that the pigs cannot
get their noses under it to open ii
from the outside. 1t is hung from
the top or hOrseshoes, and can be as
readily lifted up as it can be swung
out.
The pigs are taught to come to this
pen for feeding by being fed there a
number of times. Then the gate is
put in and the pigs cannot enter ex.
cept when admitted by the attendant.
When they are through eating they
can go back to the pasture by open
ing the gate themselves. They soon
learn this trick. and the gate saves
us considerable time.

MAKING EARLY HOG PASTURE
Than in Former Years and Is
of Much Importance.
(By r. b. RUSHING.)

- ~ -
The question of growing early pas
lures for hogs is attracting more at
tention of late years than it did a few
years ago, and it is well that farmers
wake up and avail themselves of the
value of growing such crops.
This matter of growing something
for early spring pastures for hogs, is
something that the farmer of limited
means can do.
The profit derived from the growing
of crops for hog pasture is, / find,
greater than that derived from grow
ing crops hat have to be harvested.
Hogs can be turned into the pasture
and they will do a good job harvest
ing, saving every little bit of the
crop, much more than could be saved
if harvested, as they clean up many
things that man or machinery can
not get.
If we have bee negligent in SOW
ing something in the way of clover or
rye, for early hog pasture, then it be-
hooves us to plant some other forage
crop for them and also one that will
make grazing as early in the spring
as possible.
For the very earliest purpose |
usually SOW a patch of oats. at the
rate of two bushels to the acre. |
as they will then withstand the
drought and tramping over them and
also will not lift out of the soil as
easily.

so as to pasture a part of it at a
time, while the other will be growing.

thing else that | can sow.
When the oats are from five to
seven inches high 1t Is time to turn
hogs in. 1t usually requires about
five or six weeks to have them this
high.
My next crop for pasture a little
later is peas, and ! prefer drilling
them for several reasons. When
drilled they are all planted at a uni
form depth and will come I'D more

once or twice and will stand dry

make the drills "a inches apart.
Peas are ready to turn into when
they are cominr into stiff dough. n
you nave never grown any il will be
wonderfully surprising how hogs will
take on fat and grow while feeding
on peas.
Soy beans also make good pasture.
but these are usually sown later and

Attorney General Wickersham, repre-
senting the United States. yesterday ap-
piled to the District Supreme Court for
a writ OF ejectment in order to deter
mine by legal proceeding whether the
United states'is entitled TO land adjacent
to Rock Creek. lying south OF K street
and west of Twenty-eighth street, or
whether the present occupants have the
lawful right of possession.
The defendants named in the bill are
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Com
pany and the three trustees holding title
to its assets. the Barber Asphalt Paw
ing Company, Knott & Mohler. John
Shore, Mary E. Hughes. and Andrew
Lewis.
Rents and Profits Lost.
The government alleges that by the un-
lawful possession by the defendants it
has been deprived Of rents and profts
estimated at $4,000. and the court Is asked
not only 10 restore possession to the gov
eminent. but TO assess that amount
against the so-eaIled squatters.
The property In question: is of consid-
cradle value TO the United States, as II
forms portion of a possible connecting
link between Potomac Park and Rock
Creek Park. The property at the pres
ent time consists for a large part of va
cant land, the only improvements being
few small buildings.
The United States has for number Of
years asserted its right to the possession
OF this property. and in 1903 undertook
summary proceedings 10 eject the occu-
pants, but these proceedings were halt
ed by a temporary injunction.
Abandoned by Canal.
The present suit is intended to test
fully the title TO the land which has been
formed by accretion. It's location having
at one time been occupied by a basin
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal II
has been abandoned for canal purposes
for many years. and the canal location
is northwest OF the land involved In the
suit
The proceedings are brought upon the
request Of the War Department. under
the jurisdiction OF which the land will
come in case the United States is sue
sessful in its contention. An investiga-
ton of the title Of this property was a
part of the work undertaken by the
commission to investigate the title Of
the United States to lands In the Dis
trict OF Columbia. OF which Attorney
General Wickersham Is chairman, and il
is understood that the results OF this in
vestigation have materially strengthened
the case in behalf of the United States.
II is stated at the Department OF Jus
tiee that IL was intended 70 secure as
speedy a trial Of the suit as possible.
not only In order TO place the War De-
partment In possession OF the property
as soon as practicable. but because the
decision Of the questions involved will
have a material bearing on other ques-
tons relating 10 the rights Of the United
Statets to lands in the District,
