BENEFITS OF THE SEPARATOR
Separating Should BE Done as Quick
Iy as Possible and Then Cream
Cared For.

Most farms are now supplied with
small separatOrs, and this work is
done at home. Instead Of, as formerly,
one creamery or station doing the
work for from Is to 100 dairies, it is
all done separately. AS will be seen
it will require some knowledge and
considerable care to do this work
properly and obtain the greatest uni
formity in results. This is of much
Importance, and every dairyman
should endeavor to become master of
the business and do his part in the
best manner.
On SOME farms the milk is sepa-
rated in the barn or stable. Where
this Is the case. there should be a
suitable room where the work can be
well done and the milk and cream
kept free from faint of any kind.
The separating should be done as
quickly as possible and then the
cream carried to a place where it can
be properly cared for Neither n TX
nor cream should be left in the stable
in cans The idea should be to avoid
as far as possible all stable doors
And another thing that should MT
be forgotten is that the cream should
be churned at least twice a week in
the winter, either on the farm or at
the creamery. for best results

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of lasG year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, F'they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, 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 demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de-
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, % bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best

PLANT NUT-BEARING TREES
Experience Shows They Bring Coco
Money Returns Annually and En-
nance Value of Land.
BY THOMAS NJ. CTSEL.l

How many houses have a supply OF
nut-bearing trees have almost entirely
been destroyed.
The pecan and hickory were cut fol-
wagon and handle timber down to the
small saplings; where once were
large groves of shellbarks there now
are only thickets of small sprouts and
vines and in but few years more q
pecan or shellbark cAnnot be had un
less it is cultivated. Some few are
now planting a few trees near the
home. but on hill land they make
slow progress and it will be many
years before they receive the fruits
of their labor.
The proper place for planting trees
of this kind is low, dark or black soil
near small creek or river. On this
kind of soil they make rapid growth
often bearing nuts the sixth or seventh
year after planting. and in planting q
grove of shellbarks or pecans the
ground should be cleared of all other
sprouts and kept in that condition I'M
til the trees are large enough to care
for themselves, say when they are ten
years old.
The nuts should be planted % feet
apart each way, three or four in q
place. At the end of the first year
cut out to one in a place, leaving the
incest spr0ut. Hickory or pecan
should always be planted where want
ed as transplanting often spells the
tree. as they cannot be removed with
q t damage to the tap root. and that
Aen causes the tree to blast or not
fruit at all.
But, where they are left 10 grow
where planted they seldom If ever
fail to fruit.
Land planted in this way will bring
good grass and can be used as pasture
which is good for the trees after they
are large enough to not be injured by
the stock.
Winter has not much work for the
orchard, but orchardists can plan for
the days to come, and the planning is
lust as essential as anything they can
do.
