Better breeding Ench Time

No line Of breeding requires more
thought and study than horse breed.
ing, This is why so many fail in pro-
ducing the highest types One of the
essentials is knowing the type Of sire
to breed the mare to- Many farmers
will breed a light mare to a heavy
horse or the very opposite, and the re-
suit is nothing tangible in the way Of
Improvement. Every farmer should
know what kind of an animal he has
and be able to select sire to breed
her to that will give an improved off
spring. With proper selection made
here the remainder will be easy.
1t is well to note at the outset that
no horse is absolutely perfect. Every
animal has some defect, be it large
or small. The defects in the mare
should therefore be carefully noted
and the sire selected should be espe.
cially strong in the weak points the
mare may have 1t should be hardly
necessary to mention that it is never
a good plan to cross breeds. To make
a success of the business the horse
breeder must select one breed and
stick to 1t.

10000 AMERICAN SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA.
The Year 1908 Has shown an In
crease of over Eighty Per Cent
in American Settlement

The Year 1908 Has shown an In
crease of over Eighty Per Cent
in American Settlement.
Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbor, the neighborly
country across the boundary l'le, are
that upwards of ninety thousand set
tiers from the United States went into
Western Canada during the past year,
most of them for the purpose of TAX
ing up and settling upon the vacant
lands, 100 acres of which are given
free by the government, and lands ad-
Joining held by railway and land com.
panies are selling at from nine to IF
teen and twenty dollars per acre. Even
If thirty or forty dollars per acre were
paid, the price would then be low, as
the lands produce wonderfully, and at
these higher figures there Is a large
interest on the money and labor in
vested. The ninety thousand settlers
Of this year. followed about sixty thou.
sand last year, and for several years
the figures have been running into
these large figures. There must be a
reason for it. 1t may be found in the
single phrase, They are satisfied"
Nothing attracts people more than the
success of others, and the news Of this
reaching other thousands causes them
to investigate The investigation in
this case is always satisfactory The
splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, OF
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio and other states
has risen to a high value, and it is
worth every dollar asked for it. But
there is not room now for all on these
lands. With the ever increasing de.
mand for grain there comes the ever
increasing demand for land. Canada
is the only country on the continent
in a position to supply it. Land there
that costs, say, So an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation twenty
five bushels of wheat to the acre, or
about 500 The most liberal calcula-
ton as to cost makes the cost to pro
duce $3.50 per acre, leaving a balance
of $3.50 per acre. The $3.50 carries
good wages for the farmer, and all
other conceivable contingencies With
conditions like this. covering the en-
tire area Of about 800 600 square miles

Butter from Sweet Cream.

The quality of butter seems more af
fected by the degrees of ripeness al
which the cream is churned than by
any other one thing. 1t is now becom
ing the fashion in some quarters tc
Churn sweet cream. 1t is said that the
butter keeps longer and some like il
better. though a moderate degree OF
ripeness produces butter of the most
popular flavor 1t is well known that
oVer-ripe cream makes an ill-havored
butter, and the wonder is that so much
of it is produced. Negligence and
procrastination account for most of it

Prev Diseases.

The poultry papers are flooded with
letters asking remedies for fowl dis
eases. Many of the letters may be
read between the lines and give a
story of conditions which should not
exist Nearly all poultry ailments are
preventable if a few simple rules are
observed.
Plenty OF grit is necessary. 1t may
be placed in the water in which char
coal should be also be placed The wa
ter must be clean, and If allowed to
accumulate, the droppings from the
fowls Is a most prolific breeder of dis
ease germs.
The henhouses must be we'll ven
tilated and dry at all times. Drafts
and damp floors claim heavy toll.
Impure food and soured mashes
cause inflammation and other diseases
OF the digestive organs. Any chickens
showing symptoms Of an unhealthy
condition should be at once isolated
from the flock. Better care can be
given it, and the danger OF injecting
other fowls is removed Farm and

The Milking Shed.


plan that has been proven success
full, not only in the improvement of
the milk, but in the saving of the
manure, is to have separate barn or
shed to do the milking in. This can
be comparatively cheap structure,
as it would be intended to keep the
cows in 1t only during the process Of
milking
The barn, however, should be con-
structed in a substantial and sanitary
way. After the cows are MIXED they
are turned into roomy shed or barn,
where they remain loose and can eat
forage or lie down at will. There
are in this shed racks and troughs
for feeding hay and ensilage in,
In the milking shed the COWS are
fastened by means of rigid Sanctions,
and the feed managers, where the con
centrates are fed, are built high
enough to prevent the COW from ~
Ing down, thus she remains clean
until the milking is done.
The floors should be OF concrete,
and there should be a gutter behind
the cows. These stables should be
thoroughly cleaned out each day. and,
II possible, washed occasionally, so
that there will be as few flies as pos,
sible and no offensive odors. There
should be no hay or feed stored in
this barn and it should be we'll venti-
lated, SO that the air will be pure and
free from dust.
This is about the most practical way
to keep COWS clean. The feeding shed,
which could and really should be the
lower floor of the main feed barn,
should be well ventilated and bedded,
for in there the cows are allowed to
run at large and the manure is allowed
to accumulate, being covered up each
day with new bedding. This plan
saves absolutely all of the manure
with the least amount of handling, it
being hauled directly to the land in
the spring. Southern Agriculturist.

QUEEN MARGHERITA.
She Has Suffered Much from Painful
Neuralgia.

Much as the Italians love and admire
Queen Elena, the person nearest their
hearts has always been the Dowager
Queen Margherita, so that her Indifferent
health during this year has caused much
anxiety. All last spring Queen Mar
gherita was in the hands of the best
medical authorities in Rome, but I'M
known to the general public. So far was
this desire for secrecy carried that the
three attending physicians left their au-
tomobiles at the foot of the slope leading
to her palace, and went on foot, en-
tering as unostentatiousy as possible.
However when three months had
passed since she had been seen at all
suspicion was aroused, and it was then
known that she was afflicted with the
most painful form of neuralgia, which
began in her shoulder and ran up into
the head, causing such eXcruciating
agony that her head was wrapped con-
stantly in cotton wool. At length she re-
covered sufficiently to leave Rome, and
during the summer she was much better,
but again now at Stupinigi, her castle
in the north, she has had. return of the
pain, and although little is made of it.,
those who saw her suffer before know
that again her strength has been taxed to
the uttermost.

Whv His Mother Mourned.

William NJ. Fogarty has a story about
n good old Irish woman whose son was
about to start for trip around the
world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man. In
her fond vision she could see all sorts of
terrible tidings coming to him, but she
held her peace until he had started for
the journey. Then she began to cry. A
neighbor tried to console her, but to no
avail.
I'm afraid he hasn't the money to get
back" said the mother, weeping. He's
got the money to 60 round the world
all right. but how will he ever get
back ?'-Indranapolis Star.

A WOMAN'S CATCH.

To Lady Edith Trotter belongs the
distinction of having captured the big
Cest salmon of the season, on the
Sprouston water of the Tweed. 1t
turned the scale at 4S1a pounds and was
landed in seventeen minutes. The fish
was 80 inches i'll length and ~ inches in
girth. "No larger fish this season or for
many seasons has been recorded as
caught, with rod and line in British
waters" said Mr.. Marston, editor Of
the Fishing Gazette. TO take so large
a fish is certainly n great achievement
for lady The time in which it was
taken is also remarkable The rough
