EXCELLENT TRADE IN WESTERN
CANADA.

Splendid Crops. Dig Prices. aud
Prosperous Outlook for the Flu
ture.
Throughout all of Canada, and es-
pecially in the western provinces OF
Canada, there is a buoyancy in every
line of business that is fully warrant
ed by every condition. The crops of
the past year were what was expected.
and the prices for grain of all kinds
put the farmers in a class by them
selves. Many of them are independ-
ent, 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 pros
poets are that a vastly larger area than
that under crop last year will be seed
ed early this spring. In the Leth-
bridge district, in Southern Alberta
steam and gasoline outfits, hundreds OF
them. are breaking up the prairie at
a tremendous pace, but they work
night and day As soon as II 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 farm
er is putting in the longest hours pos.
sible with his teams of horses or oxen.
And what will the country be like In
August, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast expanse
of wheat field. And there will be
market for il, because 1t is the best
grain grown. and the demand Will be
everywhere. AS previously intimated,
business throughout Western Canada
is sound and good The grain produc-
tion of 1909 has been the great factor
in establishing the reputation OF West
ern Canada, and 1T is worth talking
about 1t surpassed all previous rec
ords, both in regard to quality and
quantity, and such an achievement
was by no means easy. The limit has
not been reached. and a large average
increase may be expected during the
next ten years. There will be odd sea
sons when a falling off will occur, and
it is the falling 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
reasonable to make occasional allow
ances for slowing up. The faster the
rate of increase is now, the sharper
will be tie check when the production
diminishes But there are some un-
reasonable people who wonder why the
growth of one year is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable people
are the ones who see flaws in the sit
uation as soon as an indication is given
that the startling advances have not

Hints About the House.

Potato water is excellent for clean
ing mud stains from nearly any kind
of cloth or garment.
A teaspoonful of ginger in two gal
Ions of cider will, 1t is said, keep ii
sweet for several months.
Vegetables soaked in a steamer are
actually more nourishing than those
boiled in the ordinary way.
To heat dishes quickly don't put
them into a hot oven, but let them lie
for a minute or two in hot water.
When frying mush, it is said that
dipping the slices first into the white
of an egg makes them crisper
When serving hot mince pie place
thin slice of cheese on each piece 1t
gradually softens from the heat of the
pie.
Celery roots, boiled in plain water,
chilled and dressed with French dress
ing, make excellent and cheap winter
salads
If gelatin must be sOftened quickly
pour cold water over the gelatin and
heat over boiling water until it is
dissolved
Scorched fireproof dishes should be
soaked in strong boraX water till the
unslightly brown marks upon them
can be rubbed off with a cloth.
When starching colored clothes
either put them in a cheesecloth bag
or else make the starch very blue. and
then no starch will show on them.
To remove hot-water marks on ia
panied trays use sweet oil Rub it in
well till all marks disappear, then
polish the tray with dry flour and soft
cloths.
Salt and vinegar make an excellent
mixture for cleaning water bottles.
Put a dessertspoonful of rough salt
into decanter, moisten it with vine-
gar, and then shake the bottle till
the stains are removed.

Salt is obtained in the United States
in several different forms and ways.

Hog Mikes Meat QuickIy.

No animal ON the farm is better
adapted to turning good feed quickly
into marketable meat than the hog.
and none can better repay. from mar
ket standpoint, discriminating sys-
tenn of feeding. This is particularly
true as to first costs, for the hog is
by nature planned to utilize the least
expensive feeds and will manufacture
into toothsome pork much that might
otherwise be reckoned of little value,
If not waste. In any phase of farm
economy the hog is feature, and his

Wonderful Work of Cow.

According TO modern standards of
measurements of a dairy COW. one that
gives 5000 pounds of milk a year, is
but an ordinary mixer. And yet to
elaborate this amount of milk, this
cow must manufacture not less than
$50 pounds of milk solids. The cow
may weigh more than 500 or 900
pounds. and the dry matter of her body
is only the half of this amount, so we
see the cow may manufacture new
material annually amounting to more
than twice that contained in her own
body. To do this wonderful work she
must be in the best of physical con-
dition and must have an abundance
OF material containing the elements

Where there is an abundant supply
OF alfalfa, do not feed the dairy COWS
any timothy hay. but let them have
out waste. A mixture consisting of
400 pounds of ground corn, 300 pounds
of bran or oats supplements the al

of this combination is sufficient to pro-
duce one pound of fat when fed with
all the good alfalfa hay an animal
will consume. If the droppings of

pound of oil meal per day.-Farmers
