THE GROWTH OF CANADA.

Where there Is rapid growth in a
country there Is always tendency to
oyerestimate the population. This falls
In with the plans OF boomers and even
gives pleasure to disinterested patriots
No doubt H. is felt in Canada just now,
and the fever of it may have got int
tho blood of Sydney Fisher, minister
OF agriculture. who predicts that the
census of 1911 will show that the DO.
mlnlon has 100000 Inhabitants.
However this may be, there have
been changes enough In the last ten
years to make the development of
studies of the time During the latter
part of the last century the growth of
The country had been slow. The popu.
latiOn. which was 4.324.81O In 1881, In.
creased 70 4,s33.239 In 1891 and to g.
371.315 in 1901. making a small per.
centage for the twenty years.
But though complete figures are
lacking, 1t is certain that there has
been an astonishing change since the
beginning OF the present century. The
Province of Manitoba. which had a
population OF 255.2l1 In 1901, had in.
creased to 365,6ss In 1906, and In the
same period Alberta had advanced
from 1884 to 1S5,4I2 and Saskatche-
wan from 1,460 to 257 1853.
In 1901 the number of people from
the United States was placed at 127,-
S99. The immigration from the United
States alone In the year 1909 was more
than 10000. and the current has been
strong for several years. II is to be
noted also that the newcomers from
this country take. capital with them,
and the estimate OF the Canadian i'm.
migration commissioner is that these
immigrants added to the wealth OF
western Canada at least 500 900, 900.
That the country will prove attrac-
tive from now on is highly probable.
because II offers inviting farms to set.
tiers. and its fame as a wheat field IL
constantly increasing. The crop Of last
year WAS valued at 100000 900. and
each year sees large increase Ia the
acreage devoted to wheat cultivation.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Promptly gather up and burn all

When spraying do not work with
bare hands. They'll be sore II you do
Put on pair of rubber gloves.
Remember when you plow In the or.
chard that the roots are very near
the surface. Three inches is plenty
deep enough.
Some fruit growers say that II Is
not good plan to plow an orchard
when the trees are in blossom-better
do 1t before or after.
How long will our orchards bear the
neglect seen on every hand? We need
less of extensive farming and more of
intensive and sensible operations.
Now. don't wait till the last moment
before ordering the berry plants. Give
the folks who grow them a chance to
fil the order In good shape without
being hurried. Better for them and
surely better for you.
When the leaves begin to grow. The
canker worm may commence to move
up on the trunks of fruit and other
trees. Bands of tar or printers ink,
II put on the tree trunks in time. will
catch many of the pests.
AS soon as the leaves start on cur
rant or gooseberry bushes, cut out all
sickly-looking or non-starting canes
and promptly burn the cuttings Bor.
ers are probably within. and in this
way they can be kept in check.

MILO.

The campaign being conducted by
the Colorado Agricultural college in an
effort to get milo generally grown as
n feed crop on the plains of the state
has called forth great deal of inquiry
concerning this crop.
Milo belongs to the family of plants
called sorghums. The sorghums are
divided into two large groups-the
sweet saccharin sorghums, and the
nonsaccharin sorghums. These differ
chiefly in sugar content. and yield OF
seed. The sap of the saccharin sorg-
huns Is sweet. and the nonsacharrin
sorshums have no sugar In the sap.
Milo belongs to the nonsaccharin group
OF sorghums. II resembles Kafhr very
much In appearance and habits OF
growth. which is quite natural. con.
sidering II Il close relative OF Kaffir.
II is frequently called milo maize, but
this name Is incorrect, as II is not
maize.
Milo grows erect, with thick, short.
iointed stalks. attaining an average
height OF from four to seven feet. The
grain Is borne in heads at the top OF
the stalks. These heads reach a con-
siderable size and are relatively short
and compact. Where the stand is thin.
the heads get very large and turn
downward by their own weight. With
thicker stands the heads are smaller
and stand erect.
