$4,000 IN ONE YEAR
THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPRISES ALL RECORD.

The returns recently issued by the
Canadian immigration Branch shows
that upwards of 1926, 200 persons ar
rived in Canada during h past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
ton of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. Of this number about 10000
were from the United States, the bal
ance being from the British Isles and
Northern Europe. It will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. The lure Of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Canada
plains increases; there is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
is but they did not look for so large an
immigration from the old countries.
Still, they will not be found unpre-
pared Reception halls are in readi-
ness at all important points in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
~homesteads of 100 acres each, rail
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been aiken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis
patch from Antwerp reads: THE d.
version of European emigration from
the United States to Canada is said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the Amerfca-Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
steamers afloat. the Cortland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
in the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports"
On the date Of the above dispatch
word came to the immigration branch
that the vanguard Of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win
nipeg at 1870 o'clock his morning.
There was a solid train load Of ef-
fects, comprising Al carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of rs
families. Every man Jack in the
party is a skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every
thing that experience has shown Is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle. Some of
the farmers had also brought along
gas tractors, which will be put right
to work on ground breaking"
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises hat it would ap-
pear as if each month of the present
year would show a large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country and its resources, Is
greater than it aver has been.

Portable Fence.

succession of crops should be grown
SO that the hogs will have continuous
pasture throughout the season.
When young nursing pigs begin to
scour, it is evident that the milk of
the SOW is disagreeing with them and
immediate attention therefore should
be directed toward improving her
ration. Most often the trouble comes
from owe feeding on corn, or other
rich food, just after narrowing, and
pigs of fat, flabby, pampered, cross,
nervous, co%nstipated sows, are most
apt to suffer. Sudden changes of
food, or feeding sour or decomposing
slop, or food from dirty troughs, or
soul swill barrels, also tend to cause
dfarrhoea either in nursing pigs or
those that have beer weaned, and all
such causes should be prevented or
removed.
To correct securing in nursing pigs,
give the SOW Is to 20 grains sulphate
Of iron (copperas) in her slop night
and morning and If necessary slightly
increase me doses until effective.
A portable fence with support to be
used for enclosing temporary quarters
and lots is illustrated. The support
should be securely nailed to stakes
driven into the ground on each side.

Cherished Bell.

The Oldest bell in the United
States, possibly in the Americas. Ia
in the small village Of East Haddam,
Conn. 1t bears the date "A. D. 803."
Presumably it came from an old
monastery in Spain, and was prob
ably brought to this country as bal
last or old iron in some sailing ship.
Later it was bought in a junk shop.
and now it hangs in a belfry in the
rectory at East Haddam. The vicis-

passed doubtless were varied. Before

LEAVING IT TO THE GUIDE
Bishop Didn't Have Language Equal to
the Occasion When the Trout
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing. Early in the
season, If not the opening day, he re-
sponded to the lure of the ripping
brook. AS he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook a trout that put up a stormy
fight. Evidently the fish had no mind
to grace the creel of even an apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. 1t was
not possible for him to get q
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated IN a swift
Jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up in the branches Of a maple
which lowered above the alders-not
an unusual experience for an angler,
but the first Of the kind hat had fall
en- to the lot of the bishop. Well-he
was always seeking experience and
now he had It, This, however. was
different from casting and the result
was dire. The line snapped, the bril-
liant and dashing Fontinalis dropped
back into the brook and with an In
solent wave of his tail said as plainly
as words, "By, by. old boy
The bishop and guide looked at each
other. Then the bishop said to the
guide in the earnest and appealing
tone with which he was won to stir
the emotions of his congregation.

General Henry D. Baker of Sydney,
showing the number of sheep in the
countries leading in this industry:

5S1,100; Russia, 5%S,510,523; United
States, 54,631,000; United Kingdom,

Public Slaughter.

When cattle are condemned by the
tuberculin test they should be slaugh,
tered in public, says the Stockman.
This because the people are entitled
to study for themselves the question
of bovine tuberculosis and because
public slaughter will act as a check on
careless testing. No doubt some sound
cattle have been condemned by the
test because they were not in cond1-
ton to be tested. If 1t is understood
before the test Is made that those
condemned will be killed in public
testers will naturally be more careful
about this matter. There is a lot to
learn yet about tuberculosis and the
detection of it's dangerous forms. Pub
lie demonstrations can harm no one
and may help toward a better under
standing by all interests.

Wooden Trough.

weight. The gain thus produced in
the young pigs indirectly through the
SOW, was cheap and more economical
that lateral gains.
When the pigs ae two or three weeks
old they will begin to take food given
them from a separate trough made
but a few inches deep. Skim milk or
a thin porridge of middlings is greatly
relished at this time. AS soon as
they begin to eat freely they should
be crowded with feed, since the most
economical gains in the life Of the
pigs are made at this time. Pigs
should be fed so as to gain in weight
from one-half pound to a pound a day
from the time they are three weeks old
until they are marketed.
Young growing pigs should have
plenty of green pasture, pure water
and grain. The old method of allow
ing pigs to grow for a year on pasture
or in wood lots without other feed is
expensive and not now practiced by
those who make a success in grow
ing hogs for pork. On pasture alone
hogs make too slow gains for profit,
and cannot be brought to a market
able condition. Pigs at pasture, how
ever, make the best use of the grain
fed to them.
Some Of the best green feeds for
hogs are alfalfa, clover, rape, COW peas,
peanuts, artichokes and sweet pota-
toes. Hogs are wasteful grazers and
the fields of pasture crops should be
arranged with movable fences in such
a manner that the hogs can pasture
only on a small portion at a time. A

Fat Lambs.

Owners of heavy lambs have not
been able to market them without Sc
we're losses. The heavier and fatter
the lamb the greater the loss. Indica.
lions are hat many of these lambs
will be kept a little longer and market
ed with the wool off. They can be
shorn early, and while the wool may
not sell at a high figure it can't sell
lower than it has been going on the
lamb. This has been a disastrous win
ter for lamb feeders-in fact, for all
mutton makers, with the possible ex
ception of those who laid in old ewes
at low prices last fall.
