GERMANY AND CANADIAN
WHEAT. -----
Looks to tae Canadian West for Her
supply.

Looks to tne Canadian West for Her
supply.
A dispatch from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, dated March IS, 1910, says that
Germany is anxious to secure a share
Of Canadian wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent adj
justment of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development of
trade between the two countries is
now certain The great men Of the
United States are alive to the wheat
situation in this country now, and
there is consequently the deepest in
terest in every feature that will tend
to increase and conserve the wheat
supply. With its present $50, 000 900
efforts to increase it almost unavail-
ing, and the rapidly growing consump-
ton Of its increasing population, there
is certainly the greatest reason for
the anxiety as to where the wheat is
to come from that will feed the ma
tion. The United States will be forced
as Germany is to look to the wheat
fields of Canada. One province alone
raised last year one-eighth as much
as the entire production Of the United
States, and but twelfth Of the wheat
area has yet been touched. The Amer
leans who have gone to Canada, are to-
day reaping the benefit of the demand
for Canadian wheat and they will con-
tinue to join in the benefits thus
reached for a great many years. Splen-
did yields are reported from the farms
Of that country, and from land that
the Government gives away in 100
acre blocks, and from other lands that
have been purchased at from $12 to
SIS an acre. John Munter, near Eye
brow, Saskatchewan, a former resi-
dent of Minnesota, says:
Last fall got over 80 bushels Of
wheat to the acre and had 80 acres of
it; also 20 acres spring breaking on
which | had fax of which | got almost
20 bushels per acre Had 20 acres in
oats and got 70 bushels per acre, and
500 bushels potatoes on one and three
quarter acres, and can therefore safely
say that / had a fine crop and am
well satisfied with my homestead
He is considered but a small farmer,
but he will be one of the big farmers,
some of these days. There are many
others. hundreds of others, whose
yields were beyond this, and whose
average under crop was vastly greater
The story of the experience of Ameri-
can farmers in the Canadian West is
a long one. The time to go, would
appear to be now, when splendid selec-
lions may be made, and where land
can be purchased at prices that will
be doubled in couple of years

LADY GRANARD'S TACT.
1t Is Winning Her Many Friends in
Ireland.

The Countess of Granard has rechris-
tened her magnificent house known as
Mortimer house, which was a wedding
present from her father, and in future it
will be known as Forbes house, after the
family name of the Granards. Decora-
tors are putting in their finishing touches
III accordance with her individual and
charming taste, but it is doubtful if the
house will be ready FOR occupancy until
May. Then Lady Granard will give an
informal house warming for her compa-
triots only. She will not give any big
entertainments or entertain for the gov
eminent until almost the end of the sea
son, owing to the family mourning Now
size is winning a large circle Of friends in
contradistinction to her manner at first
which was aggressive, and which was
criticized even by Americans. Lady Ora
nard has toned down considerably of
late, and she has become quite popular in
the neighborhood of Forbes castle, the
family place in Ireland, and has received
many gifts from the warm-hearted peo-
pie Of Newton Forbes. In the meantime
she is nursing her baby like a good, old
fashioned mother in the house they are
temporarily occupying in Mayfair, where
she receives few intimate friends

The Asparagus Beetle.

This is troublesome pest and hard
to fight. Clean cutting, especially ia
ridge culture, keeps them we'll under
control in spring, but considerable
harm is done later on by slugs or
larvae. Poultry are very fond of these
beetles, and a few fowls will soon
capture the matured insects if allowed
in q garden bed. An extensive grower
Of asparagus in Massachusetts finds
that most Of the beetle eggs have been
sucked dry and destroyed by a species
Of small fy, which has made its ap-
pearance for the first time in Larse
numbers this year.

Fresh Manure.

Authorities say that fresh manure
loses in the process of decay from 90
to 70 per cent of its original weight
Some tests conducted by the Cornell
Experiment Station showed that two
tons of horse manure exposed in a
pile for five months lost 81 per cent Of
It's gross weight, 60 per cent Of it's
nitrogen, Al per cent of Its potash.
Five tons Of COW manure exposed for
the same length Of time in a compact
pile lost, through teaching and dissi-
patton Of gases, 40 per cent In gross
weight, Al per- cent of it's nitrogen,
10 per cent Of its phosphoric acid and
s per cent Of its potash.
A ton Of average fresh horse ma
nure from animals fed on ordinary
balanced ration, contains about 10
pounds potash.

Cost of Feed.

During an experiment in Cornell
University few years ago the aver
age feed cost for eggs throughout the
year was about 9 cents per dozen.
Other experimenters give the cost of
eggs in winter at IS cents per dozen
and in summer 80 cents. Under the
present prices of feed eggs would cost
about II cents per dozen, but 1t must
be remembered that on the farm the
hen picks up the most part of her liv-
ing from the waste material that is
scattered over the farm, so that the
cost of dozen eggs is a very small
item of cash outlay.

Renting Il Farm.

The following Is from the Almanac
and Encyclopedia for 1910, published
by the International Harvester Com
pany:
THE greatest risk is always on the
landlords side in the rental of prop
erty. He is putting his property into
the possession and care Of another,
who may be a person of doubtful util-
ity. t Is well to observe these rules
and cautions: Do not trust to a YER
bal lease-let 1t be in writing, signed
and sealed. It's stipulations then be-
come commands and can be enforced.
Let 1t be signed in duplicate, so that
each party may have an original.
BE careful In selecting your tenant.
There is more in the man than there
Is In the bond. Insert such covenants
as to repairs, manner of use, and in
restraint Of waste as the circum-
stances call for. AS to particular stip
lat1ens examine leases drawn by those
who have had long experience in rent
ing farms, and adopt such as meet
your case. There should be covenants
against assigning and undertaking.
II the tenant is of doubtful respon-
sibility, make the rent payable in in
stallments. A covenant that the crops
shall remain in the lessons till the
lessee's contracts with him have been
fulfilled is valid against the lessees
creditors. In the ordinary case Of
renting farms on shares the courts
will treat the crops as the joint prop
erty of lord and tenant, and thus pro-
tect the formers rights. Every lease
should contain stipulations for forfeit
ure and re-entry in case of non-pay-
ment IT breach Of any covenants.

Poultry Pickfngs.

Watch closely and mark the hen
that is laying an egg each day. She
is the kind you want to peEpetuate
in the flock.
Weed out the hens that lay the
small-sized eggs. They are the I'M
profitable ones and never will i'm
prove the quality of the flock.
There are some poultrymen who ad-
vocate pullets fer breeders instead of
yearling hens. 1t is generally found
that well-developed fowls make the
most prolific breeders.
If you have both pullets and old
hens in your flock keep close watch
and see which one is laying the most
eggs A little knowledge along this
line may assist next season in select
ing a flock Of winter layers.

Bridge GRATING.


Where trees are found girdled in
the spring. the only method Of saving
them Is by the practice Of what Is
knswn as bridgegrafting.
If young trees be girdled In late
spring just as growth is beginning,
they may be successfully treated by
binding about the wounded parts a
heavy covering Of smooth. tenacious,
soft clay. 1t is safer, however. to in
sert a few long scisns, as shown Ia
the accompanying picture. Tho sap
circulation of the tree, cut OF by the
wound made by the rodents. is re-
sumed through the scions, which be-
come part Of the tree-enlarging
and growing together until, in after
years. only slight enlargement or
bulge" On the trunk Of the tree thus
treated will be noticeable

The Useful SiIo.

The silo is a text which Is always
value and it cannot be preached from
too often, writes S. c. Miller. Wher
ever it is seen it denotes farming,
1t solves the problem of turning into
the highest efficiency that portion of
the corn crop which fails to reach the
desired maturity as feed The silo
can be filled at less expense than the
same amount of dry feed can be cared
for and it makes better feed This
Is, after all, the main point to con-
slider. Dairymen have learned that
when COWS kept in the stable for
five to seven months they cannot re-
turn as satisfactory profits if they are
confined to a ration of dry feed alone.
Ensilage gives succulence and is very
much easier to masticate and digest
than dry corn fodder. There Is also
Q great saving of labor in feeding en-
silage, over feeding dry corn fodder.
The initial expense keeps many silo
from decorating the landscape, but
1t is good practice to economize in
other directions to provide for it. Once
built and rightly built it will not have
to be renewed for many years, so the
cost is spread out so thinly that it
cuts no great figure in the business
Of feeding.
