say they will come into price nearer
their legitimate value of $50 or $50 an
acre quite as quickly as the southerly
lands. And I believe 1t.
Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 500 miles square,
there are still a great many home
steads which are given free to actual
settlers. Many who have secured pat
ents for their homesteads consider
their land worth from $1S to $25 per
acre.
immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion OF
Alberta, a district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, fax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands.
In Central alberta, which comprises
the district north of Calgary and east
two hundred miles, through Camrose.
Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer, Wetas-
kiwin, Edmonton, Lacombe, Vegre-
vile, Tofield, Vermillion and score
of other localities, where are settled
large numbers of Americans, the
wheat, oats and fax, three weeks ago,
was standing strong and erect, large
heads and promising from 30 to IS
bushels of wheat and as high as 100
bushels of oats on carefully titled
fields, while fax would probably
yield from Is to 10 bushels per acre.
In these parts the harvesters are
busy today garnering this great crop
and it will shortly be known whether
the great anticipations are to be- real
lied.
Throughout all parts Of Saskatche-
wan, whether north, south, east or
west, the same story was heard, and
the evidence was seen of the splendid
and bountiful crop.
Rich Yield in Manitoba.
In Manitoba 1t was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers a bumper yield,
and as high as IS bushels of wheat
and go bushels of oats was freely dis
cussed.
1t would appear as if the expecta
ton of an average of rs bushels OF
wheat throughout the three provinces
would be met.
In a few days the 100000 000-bushel
elevator capacity throughout the coun-
trv will be taxed, the 25,00O,0O0 bush

called upon for their best. Today the

in its giant task Of reducing into
sheaves the standing grain the har-
vesters are busy stocking and stack
ing. the threshing machines are being
fed the sheaves, the large box wagons
are taking it to the elevators, and no
matter where you go it is the same
story and a picture such as can only
be seen in the great grain fields of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.

AIkaIies Valuable In CLEANING.

Every kitchen contains at least
three or four alkalaies which may be
used in cleaning processes. In the
order of their strength they are: soda.
sal soda, ammonia, and I've. The
stronger the chemical, the less of it
is required One teaspoon Of I've in
a quart of water will be sufficient to
remove iodine stains or soften foods
that have been burned in a kettle
Three y eour times this amount of
sal soda would be required, while bak-
ing soda would require even more to
accomplish the same results.
However, these alkalies must not
be used upon aluminium ware. The
stronger acids as those In rhubarb are
also injurious to aluminium, but, If the
aluminium is pure, it should last in.

Ruling HaIts Game Warren.

That the state game warden has nc
authority to farm out the waters OF
Wisconsin upon a percentage basis for
the purpose of reducing the number OF
rough fish in such waters, is the opin.
ion Of Attorney General Bancroft, rem
dered upon request of Game Warden
John A. Shots.
The question has arisen out OF the
perplexity Of the rough fish problem.
Mr.. Sholts propounded the following
questions to the attorney general:
May the state game warden agree to
farm out certain waters Of the state
upon a percentage basis; that is, has
the state game warden right to en-
gage parties to take rough fish from
certain inland waters by engaging
fishermen to do the work and to pay
said fishermen percentage of the
receipts Of the sale of such fish,"
The attorney general says:
81 am of the opinion that the only
persons who can be authorized to
further wardens in removing rough
fish under the provisions of the law
would necessarily have to be appoint
ed as special deputies under the law"
No authority exists, says the attor.
ney general, for the department to
work through any other persons than
the deputies, nor can deputies be com
pensated in any other way. than that
provided by law. When rough fish are
taken, under the law, by the warden
or his deputies, they must be sold and
the proceeds turned into the treasury
Of the state.

Methods and Recipes for
Making Ice Cream
By PROFESSOR A. C. BAER
WIJeOnsin Csilkge Of agriculture

Observation-Disclosures NNNXNNNNXX
Nearly every farm and household
has an ice cream freezer. If 1t has
not, part Of the equipment Of the
home Is missing. Ice cream which
has been regarded as delicacy, is
coming to be an important article of
food. Good ice cream is wholesome
food for every member of the family
and is enjoyed by all.
Ice cream can be very easily pre-
pared in every home and at small ex-
pense. Almost any mixture of cream,
milk and sugar with few eggs and
fiayoring can be made into good Ice
cream. There are perhaps several
hundred different recipes for making
various kinds of ice cream. All cook
books contain recipes for making
dainty dishes called ice cream. A
great many of these formulas have
too many ingredients, the compound
ing of which is too tedious for the or
binary housewife.
Ice creams may be divided into two
classes: The plain ice cream, winch
consists of cream, milk and sugar;
and French ice cream, which has eggs
in addition to the cream and sugar.
The mixture is often boiled into a
custard and then frozen.
Here is a simple formula which will
make a fine, creamy, delicious product
IL properly frozen: For one gallon Ice
cream use two quarts cream, one quart
milk, three-fourths pound sugar, va
nilla or other f1avoring.
All the ingredients are mixed at
once and put into the freezer. II
crushed fruit Is to be used for haVor-
ing, it is not best to add this until
the other mixture has begun to freeze.
Another simple formula, including
eggs, is as follows: For one gallon
ice cream, two quarts cream, one
quart milk, two eggs, three-tourtns
pound sugar, davoring.
The cream, milk and sugar are
mixed first The whites and yolks OF
the eggs are beaten up separately and
then stirred into the mixture. The
whole is then frozen as before.
The secret of making good ice cream
les in the method of freezing 1t. A
good mixture is often spoiled by i'm
proper freezing. Very often it is
frozen too rapidly. the machine is
turned too fast, or 1t is frozen too
long. A mixture of cream and milk
may easily be churned into butter in
the freezer and a coarse buttery ice
cream is the result
The proper way to 'reeze a mixture
is to turn the handle OF the freezer
very slowly at first until the mix is
well cooled below the churning tenn
perature. AS soon as the mixture is
cold enough Git should be between So
and 40 degrees) the handle can be
turned as rapidly as it is possible to
turn. Care must be taken not to
freeze the mixture too hard. 1t usual
ly takes from four to eight minutes to
complete the process after it is drst
cooled off,
AS soon as the handle begins to
turn hard 1t is time to STOP. The ice
cream should now appear like a very
thick gravy. The dasher must be re-
moved Immediately and fresh Ice and

account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the exhilarating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes Of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and delightful des-
sert, some of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those Of their friends,
but enough was learned to satisfy us
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor,
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as a gift from
the government, and by careful dill
gence had purchased and paid for ad-
joining land. They had plenty OF cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs,
and large well-kept gardens, showing
an abundance of potatoes and cabbage
and other vegetables. Their buildings

Charts and maps will occupy small

exhibit to learn the different methods
of treating different soils and the re-
suits from the actual use Of these
methods in fields. For example, there
will be a large photo of marshy
field Of corn, part Of which was
treated with potash. That part is
standing six or eight feet tall, while
the corn in the untreated rows next
to 1t will not be worth cutting for
fodder. Many experiments in treat
ing sandy, marshy soils, WORKOUT
clay loans, ETC., have been tried this
year, and the results will be shown
by actual photographs and samples OF
grains. Special attention is given to
the results of using lime and rock
phosphate to supplement manure.
The progress of the Wisconsin sol
survey will be illustrated by maps;

Gus types of soil, and labeled, will be
set where farmers may take them in
their hands and examine them and
refer to the places on the map where
such soils are found.
