Low Prices Are Published; the

The merchant who is selling an arti-

HE ADNERTISES THE FACT.
The merchant who cannot meet the
low prices says little about 1t. He waits
until the customer asks the price be-

For the sale of his goods he depends

The Hired Man.

There are great differences in the
qualifications of the hired man. One
is worth all and more than he re-
ceives, while another, who is apparent
ly equally as intelligent, is not worth
anything, and the employer is a loser
in the long run by having him around.
The best hired man is one who is in
telligent and active. A good one
should receive the best Of treatment
from his employer and should never
tire of what is to be done on the
ranch, regardless of the lateness of
the hour or the inclemency of the
weather, if loss is likely to accrue in
case he should fail to work at that
particular time. Of all farmhands the
most despicable is the liar who tells
you that he has done such and such
work when he has not. Next to this
one comes the lazy man.-Denver

Irrigation of Alfalfa.

The Importance of alfalfa to west
ern farmers cannot well be overesti-
mated A single ton of alfalfa may
save the lives of many head of stock
by providing feed during short periods
| of cold, stormy weather. Alfalfa can
not be eXcelled as preparatory crop
on soils that have long been unproduc-
tive. Likewise it maintains the fertil-
ity of soils naturally rich in plant
food, and if used as base of rotation
makes possible abundant crop yields
of various kinds.
Notwithstanding its present import
ance and great value in irrigation
farming, the profits on the area now
in alfalfa can be greatly increased if
more care and skill are exercised in
growing it.
Perhaps the most essential condi-
lions for the production of alfalfa are
abundant sunshine, a high summer
temperature, sufficient moisture, and
a rich, deep, we'll drained soil. All
of these essentials, save moisture, exist
naturally in the arid region of the
United States, and when water is sup
piled it makes the conditions ideal
Although alfalfa can be successfully
grown under a wide range of soil con-
ditions, yet all Western lands are not
equally well adapted to it's growth.
How to determine the suitability of
land for growing alfalfa under irriga-
ton, as we'll as how to prepare the
land, is told in Farmers Bulletin 373
Irrigation of Alfalfa recently issued
by the U. S. Department of Agricul.

The Farmers of Central Canada Rear
Wheat and Riches.

The Farmers of Central Canada Reap
Wheat and Riches.
Up in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield SO hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultivation
of the lands in these provinces. Almost
any section of the country will do as
well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field Of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land, break it
up and crop it, make $17,550 out of the
Of value all within the short period
of two years. was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, well-known
farmer within few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres Of
oats. The wheat yielded 1875 bush
els, and the oats yielded 1850 bushels.
The whole of the grain has been mar
keted and Mr.. Bailey Is now worth
$17,550 from the grain alone. He
bought the land at $1S an acre, and
the other day refused an offer of $35
an acre, just a SIT advance from the
time Of his purchase. The land cost
$11,320 in the first instance. Here are
the figures of the case: Land first
cost, $40 acres, at SIS, $11.3 800. Wheat
yielded 1876 bushels, at "a cents a
bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 1850
bushels, at % cents a bushel, 1855.
Offered for land, GAO acres at $35 an
acre, $22,400. Increase value of land,
s10,8S0. Total earnings of crop, ST.
$50, together with increase in value Of
land, total of S2S.540.
It is interesting to note the figures
Of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1912 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The
figures are fair indication of the av-
erage throughout the district.

Education and the Soil.

One of the popular fallacies that is
rapidly losing ground is the idea that
any one with no previous training or
experience can be a successful farmer,
and one of the chief agencies of en-
lightenment is the Government Blu
reau of Soils. This useful adjunct of
the Department of Agriculture is rap
idly completing it's investigations of
the actual values and needs of the
earth in various parts of the West,
and its reports will constitute valu-
able compendium for those already
engaged ia agriculture to embark in
it.
Inc government has risen to the
need OF demonstrating that the day of
haphazard and scratching of the sur
race OF the earth is passed, and that
for most successful results practical
training, if not thorough scientific edu-
cation, is needed. 1t is the aim of the
Bureau of Soils to establish accurately
the nutrition values of the earth in
varying sections for producing the
greatest abundance of suitable crops,
and with such definite basis to help
the husbandman proceed with greater
certainty toward his goal of achieve
ment. This sort of official knowledge
is sure to enable man to make many
blades OF grass or grain grow where
few or none grew before, for its natu-
raj development will be the intelligent
cultivation of every arabic acre of
land that can be made to yield a prof
table crop.-Twentieth Century Farm

Hens That Will Lay in Winter.

which were selected because they had

From September 1 until the end of
April these birds laid on an average of

of over So per bird. If such profits
could be realized on the majority of

Maine Story of a Moving Pumpkin.

A pumpkin was seen TO walk across the
field by Mrs. Samuel H. Hight of Show
hogan recently. When she saw it she
thought her eyes were deceiving her, but
she soon perceived that the pumpkin
moved little way, stopped and then
turned in another direction. She watched
this object for some time and told one
of her neighbors. The mystery was
solved, but the two women did not dare
to go nearer to the moving vegetable, but
called a man who knocked the pumpkin
over and found a polecat. The skunk
had crawled under the pumpkin and
stuck its head into a hole in it and was
unable to extricate himself from it and
had walked off as best he could with the
pumpkin on his back.-Lewiston Journal

Early maturing pullets are likely to
be excellent layers the first winter,
whether or not they prove to be good
layers in subsequent years. The SLOW
maturing bird is almost certain to lay
late in the winter, and often will not
commence until "thawed out" by
pleasant weather in the spring; als@,
she is not likely to lay so regularly
as the pullet that commences before
the SHOW flies The early maturing
bird will therefore prove the more
valuable property the first year be-
cause she is producing eggs at time
when eggs are bringing fancy prices
