Turnlp Forage for Sheep.

In England the turnip crop is uti.
lized very extensively in feeding
sheep but in this country It would
not be made to play the same part in
the economy Of sheep feeding. The
turnips are not harvested in England
but the sheep are given the run of the
turnip field and harvest their own feed
but In this country where the ground
freezes up about the first OF December,
It would be impossible to harvest the
crop in this manner although It might
be profitable to hurdle the sheep In
this manner during the fall and har
vest the crop for winter feeding. but
where ensilage can be grown to pro
vide succulence for winter do not
believe that 1t would pay to depend
too largely upon root crops for winter
feeding.

EXCELLENT TRADE IN
WESTERN CANADA
SPLENDID CROPS, BIG PRICES,
AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK
FOR THE FUTURE.

Throughout all Of Canada, and espe-
cially In the Western Provinces Of
Canada. there is buoyancy in every
line Of business that is fully war.
ranted by every condition. The crops
OF the past year were what was ex.
pected, and the prices for grain of all
kinds, put the farmers In a class By
themselves. Many of them are inde-
pendent, and many others have got
well started on the road. The latest
reports are that seeding is we'll under
way In almost every district, and the
prospects are that vastly larger area
than that under crop last year will
be seeded early this spring. In the
Lethbridge district, In Southern AL.
berta. steam and gasoline outfits, hun
dreds Of them, are breaking up the
prairie at tremendous pace. but
they work night and day. As soon a.
1t 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 farmer is put
ting In the longest hours possible with
his teams of horses or oxen. And
what will the Country bc like In Au-
gust, when these fields have become
yellowed with the literally golden
grain. There will be one vast ex-
panse OF wheat field. And there VIII
hn N arlxnt fnr tf l.
best grain grown, and the demand
will be everywhere. AS previously in
timated business throughout Western
Canada Is sound and good. The grain
production Of 1909 has been the great
factor In establishing the reputation
of Western Canada. and It is worth
talking about. It surpassed all previ
GUS records, both In regard to quality
and quantity. and such an achieve
ment was by no means easy. The
limit has not been reached, and Q
large average increase may be ex-
pected during the next ten years.
There will be odd seasons when .
falling-off will occur, and It is the fall.
ing-off that causes alarms and panics
In the commercial world. The plains
have done their duty so far In the
output Of grain and 1t would be rea-
sonable to make occasional allowances
for slowing-up. The faster the rate OF
increase Is now, the sharper will be
the check when the production dimin-
ishes. But there are some unreason-
able people who wonder why the
growth Of one year Is not continued
during the next, and at an even faster
rate. These same unreasonable peo-
Pile are the ones who see flaws In the
situation as soon as an indication ID
given that the startling advances have
not been maintained.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1910-05-19

crease the heat and consequently the
bills for fuel.
Another error we labor under Is that
the higher cuts OF meat are the most
nutritious.
We put too high a value on meats.
There are nuts, beans. peas, cheese.
eggs and milk with root and succu.
lent vegetables that may make . well
balanced meal without meat.
Eggs even at high price may take
the place of meat and one gets more
for the money when we weigh the pro-
portion of gristle. bone and waste from
meat. So we really get much more
from the same weight Of eggs.
We are apt to consider that oysters
are most wholesome, when the fact Is
they are 90 per cent. water. The price
of 70 cents a quart for water is rath-
er high, considering that we get little
food value. The flavor OF course. Is
attractive, and oysters should be used
sparingly to add variety to the diet.
Another common error among many
cooks Is TO think that starch is cooked
enough when the llQuld is tnlckeneu.
It takes several minutes to cook starch
after the grains have burst, and 1t is
well to remember that our stomachs
can not nse starch In the raw state.
Milk is often used as a beverage,
but is strictly food and should be ia.
ken as such. when swallowed rapid
ly as Is water. 1t forms hard Jumps or
curds in the stomach. which are diff
cult to dissolve, so they cause much
discomfort and often pain.
Milk should be slipped slowly, lit
tie at time, that 1t may be acted
upon by the gastric Juice In small
quantities.
A glass of hot milk slipped when
tired is most refreshing and nourish
| ing.

DIDN'T PLEASE THE OLD MAN
serenade by No Means Musical to
Papa. Though II May Have
Pleased Jessica.

In the middle of the night the farm
er rose upon his creaking bed and
growled.
"Doggone that fool" he said: hes
got another fit" He stole to the win
dow. turned his ear sidewise the bet
ter to hear. and listened.
From the nearby road arose music
that could only have been created by
an enthusiastic performer on a jews
harp.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.; whang-
whang-whingwhing." resounded the
jewsharp; "whing whing whang-
whang-whing!" The farmer groaned.
He's serenadin' Jessica,'' he
growled. "Serenade! I'll fix him" He
crept down the creaky stairs to the
dining room and took up his shotgun
from behind the door.
In the hall he met Jessica. Jessica
had on peacock blue dressing gown
and was blushing. Finally. she was
aware of the compliment being paid
her.
$50 you lear it," demanded the
farmer. dryly; sounds sorter like a
screnadc." Jessica blushed some
more.
ITS Just Hen" she explained; hes
always doing something silly like
that"
Wiling whing whang whang =
whing-whing.whang-whang." resound-
ed the jewsharp; "whingwhee-wow-
wow!" The farmer groaned.
There amt any use," he said. "try-
in to choke off a fool. Ef I've told
him once I've told him a million times
I'd do sore'p'n to him eff he didn't
stop that internal racket Amt man
got a right to sieep?" Softly he crept
to the window and rested the barrel
of the old muzzle-loader on 1t. taking
aim at the sound that showed no
signs of becoming weary. Then he
pulled both triggers.
Two sharp clicks close together re-
warded him.
who's been foolin' with my gum"
he demanded of the terrified Jessica;
somebody took of the caps"
1T was Ben." sobbed Jessica. He
was afraid the baby would get to
foolin' with It," The old man growled.
Then he tiptoed toward the stairs.
81 guess Ben amt dulled the ak
so tn baby won't hurt itself?" he
