TEN MILLION PEOPLE
IN THE CANADIAN
WEST BY 1920
@roronto star.p Dec. 1sth. 1a1n.


The prediction is made that before
1920 Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al
berta and British Columbia will have
ten million people 1t is made not by
a sanguine Western journal but by
that very sober business newspaper,
the New York Commercial. 1t is
based upon actual observation, upon
the wheat growing capacity of the Ca
madam West, and upon the prospects
of development following the build
ing of railways. The writer shows
how the position of leading wheat
market of the world passed from
Milwaukee to Minneapolis and thence
to Winnipeg. Caracas wheat-grow-
ing belt is four times greater than
that of the United States, and only
five per cent of Canada's western agri-
cultural area is under cultivation.
There are 170,000,000 acres of wheat
lands which will make these Western
Provinces richer, more populous, more
dependable for food supplies than the
Western States can ever become. The
center of food supremacy viii change
to Canada, and 25 years more win
give this country 100000 popula-
ton west of Ontario.
All these estimates of population
are in the nature of guesses, and must
not be read too literally. But the
enormous area of wheat-growing land,
the rapid construction of railways,
and the large volume of immigration
are facts which must be recognized.
They point to the production of an
ever-increasing surplus of wheat and
other cereals. However rapidly the
urban, the industrial and commercial
population of Canada may increase,
the increase of home consumption is
hardly likely to keep pace with that
Of the production of wheat; FOR a sin
gle acre of wheat win provide for the
average annual consumption Of four
people.
While production in Canada is thus
running ahead of consumption at a
prCdigious rate, consumption In the
United States is overtaking produc-
ton, and the surplus for export is
growing smaller year by year 1t is
true that the limit of actual power to
produce wheat is as yet far away.
By methods of intensive cultivation,
such as prevail In France, the produc-
ton could be greatly increased. But
with the overlooking granary of Can
ada SO close at hand, it seems likely
that our neighbors will begin to i'm
port from us, turning their own en-
ergies more largely to other forms of
agriculture.
1t must be remembered that while
the Northern States resemble Canada
in climate and products, the resem-
blance diminishes as you go south
ward. The wheat belt gives place to
corn belt, and this again to semi
tropical regions producing cotton, to-
bacco, cane-sugar, oranges and other
tropical fruits
The man who secures a farm in
Western Canada at the present time
secures an investment better than the
best Of bond Of any government or
bank. 1t is no unusual thing for a
farmer in Western Canada to realize
profit of from SIS to $40 per acre.
There are thousands of free home
steads of 100 acres each still to be
had, and particulars can be obtained
by writing your nearest Canadian gov
eminent agent.

Educational Posters by the Thousand
to Be Displayed All Over
United States.

During the next three months, the
bill boards of the United States will
display 10000 educational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nouncement made by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun year ago, when the National
Bill Posters association donated free
space to the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
facturers gave the paper for the post
ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-mOnth
campaign is nearly 100000.
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three col
ors. They are seven feet wide and
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of 46 different cities,
and it is planned to distribute 10000
more before April l in over 400 towns
and cities Any anti-tuberculosis so
ciety in the United States may re-
ceive free of charge, except for trans
portation, as many of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in its ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee of the Ma
tional Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
cure tuberculosis; how bad air. over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless CON
sumptive menaces sthe health of his
family by splitting on the floor.

PROFITABLE TYPE OF HORSE
Old Farmer Tells of Manner in Which
He Makes Animals and Services
Pay for Keeps.

IN regard to "the cost of horse"
| must first and firmly say that | re-
ceived great profits from my horses
and their services pay me for their
keeping. Am an old farmer and never
had a pure bred mare, but by good
breeding l now have the seven-eighths
Percharoc. Beginning with the suck.
ling, they are of no bother to me, for
until they are a month old the mother
is brought up once in the forenoon
and once in the afternoon, but after
wards it is kept at the stable, says a
writer IN Baltimore American. Then
in the fall before they are two they
are broke and ready for light service
in the spring. So from the time they
are two years old they pay their own
way. My coming two-year-olds weigh
1900 pounds and bring $3.50, while the
coming three-year-old bring $780, Thus
by keeping our best young Percheron
mares and clubbing together to buy a
registered stallion J find there is a
ready sale and clear profit for farm
er in raising horses, and their services
will pay for their keeping.

SELLING Steer Calves.

It is not always the best plan TO dis
pose of beef cattle as yearlings, but
in many instances in the corn-belt
area it has come to be a common
practice, and is followed by a consid
cradle number of cattle raisers; con-
sequently, this work of the Indiana
experiment station will prove of great
value to those following the plan Of
selling early. 1t was pointed out
among other things, also, mat If it
were possible to turn the calves out
on pasture early in the season, before
the grass had started still Continuing
the feed used in the dry LOT, so that
the steers would become accustomed
to tho grass rery gradually, there
would be little ivantage IN the dry
lot feeding, except that due 20 tie pre-
MUM paid for dry-fed cattle on the
central markets. This higher price is
secured because of the general belief
that the caTcasses from dry-fed ca1tle
are superior to those from CRASHED.

Care of Sheep.

Try a smaller number, learn the
ture of the sheep, and let the shee
proposition develop itself while NOR
lands are being fitted for orchar
grass, bluegrass, herdsgress meadow
fescue, alsike and red clover, an,
when abundance of such forage car
be grown raise your flock as subsist-
ence is produced without going on the
market for it, says writer in an ex-
change. Try say 20 or % head of
ewes, and prep&ro to care for increase,
and If the dogs make an attack, the
loss will not hurt so badly. l have had
some experience in sheep raising il

GOOD MUTTON TYPE OF SHEEP
Tendency of Public to Consume More
of Meat Attributed to Careful
Dressing of carcasses.

In his work on profitable stock feed
ng. Prof. H. R. Smith calls attention
to the growing tendency on the part
OF the public to consume more NUT
ton. He attributes this In part to the
fact that mutton carcasses are more
carefully dressed and better ripened
than formerly and in addition better
grade OF mutton sheep is being pro-
duced. Furthermore it is marketed
earlier than was the case a few years
ago. During former years when wool
was higher in price, the country was
largely stocked with fir e-woled sheep
of the distinctly wool breeds. These
sheep were retained on the farms per
haps several years for the annual clip
of wool, and when finally placed upon
the market had become so aged as to
make the meat tough, as well as
strongly favored. With lower prices
Of wool, there have come about marked
changes in the character of flocks.
Rams of the mutton breeds, including
the Shropshire, Southdown, Hamp-
shire, Cotswold, Oxford, Lincoln and
Leicester, have been crossed upon ma
tive fine-wooled ewes, resulting In
good quality of mutton stock. These
cross-bred mutton sheep do not pro-
duce so heavy a fleece as do the Mer-
inc, and at prevailing prices for wool
it is not profitable to carry them over
for their second clip and the little in
crease in weight; but their points of
excellence for mutton production are
so much greater than their deficien-
cies for wool production in compari
son with the Merino, that they are
now in greater favor. Merino ewes
of the improved strains are still pre-
ferred for range conditions, because
they not only sheer a heavier fleece
but their dense, fine wool and smaller
frames make them better able to
withstand the hardships of the range.
With the more recent advance in the
price of wool, there is now tend ency
upon the part of farmers to retain in
the breeding ewes somewhat more of
the Merino blood, depending upon the
heavy mutton rams to produce a type
of lamb which has proved very salts
factory in the feed lot, though some
what smaller than higher grades of
mutton stock.

Tn. Oldest K,ickitat.

Jake Hunt, the oldest living Klicki.
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
a general farming business. All that
is left of the old settlement is little
church, totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
Jake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any in the valley and
command high price. He is said to
have married seven times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widow and a few children to fall heir
to his valuable property-Husum Cor
