The PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "BACK TO THE LAND" CRY
Is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But it wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1925 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price of lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have in
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect of similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, a paper that was one Of
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: 1.-THE reciprocity SEIZED
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops of
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada This paper
is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense of land
values in the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
we'll as the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study of the in
crease in the acreage of land put I'M
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

Life Through Faith.

Faith bears fruit. It cannot help it
because It links the soul with Christ,
so that the energy of his life pour
into it through the artery of faith,
and, as it comes in. so it must make a
way for itself out. Fruit is, so to
speak, forced from the believing soul.
why does the lark sing? 1t cannot
help it, because the spirit of the spring
has been poured into its heart. Why
does the branch bear fruit? 1t cannot
help it because the life forces are
ever pouring up from its root. Why
does a child run to meet its mother?
It cannot help it because it's heart
has imbibed her nature. So the be-
lever, united to Christ. receives grace
from his heart and from the album
dance of his indwelling life speaks."-

Subsequent to the spraying season,
time should be taken to prepare the
spraying machinery for efficient work.
Of course the variety of the equipment
will be confined more or less accord
Ing to the dimensions of the orchard.
Barrel pumps are desirable in or
chards Of from two to five acres. II
extra help and labor-saving equipment
is available, they may be used in 10
acre orchards. Orchards In full bear
ing cannot be sprayed efficiently with
knapsack or bucket pumps. Large
size barrel pumps are recommended
where more than two barrels of mate
rial are needed to make an appltca-
ton. The pressure must be generated
and maintained easily when the pump
is in operation. This is one Of the
tests of a good pump.
Clean and oil working parts before
and after each application.
Examine strainer on pump and re-
place when worn.
Keep a catalogue of numbered parts
Do not allow the cylinder to leak,
but replace the packing when needed.
Do not allow pump to stand in mix
lures when not in use.
Use leads OF hose about 25 feet in
length. Ordinary hose used for lawn
sprinkling is not desirable; get five
or seven-ply one-half-inch spray hose,
guaranteed to stand $50 pounds pres
sure. This hose is usually made up
as ordered by firms who manufacture

New Frame for Milk Pail.

illustration shows the general design
of the frame, which has a pan in the
bottom on which the pail rests. Two
projecting U-shaped portions of the
upper ring Of the device fit over two
balls at the top of the bucket. When
the balls are under the ring the frame
is turned few inches to afford them
a purchase and prevent their slipping
out again, and the dairyman thus has
his pail encased in a framework that
extends on all sides and protects it
from dirt at the bottom.

The Value of the Separator.

The value Of the cream separator Is
based on the amount 1t saves out Of
the loss Of the cream that is common
under the old or primitive methods.
Usually there is loss of from Is to
so per cent. of the cream. The cream
separator saves this loss, and, COM
putting that under the average price
of butter fat the cream separator will
save the farmer $40 or more a cow
per year, so we see that if the farm
er milks five or six cows he saves
enough in one year to buy a cream
separator above the old methods.

The Canada thistle is a perennial
plant, which ranges in height from
one to three feet, depending on condi-
tions. 1t is said to have received it's
name from the fact that it was found
in the French settlements in Canada,
although it was later introduced by
the Dutch into New York and by the
English into Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. In England 1t is called corn
thistle" green thistle" or creeping
thistle"
The Canada thistle has no root
stalks, but is possessed of true roots,
the parts of which are capable of pro-
ducing plants. When undisturbed by
cultivation the roots are apt to lie
near the surface but may go deeper

Dried Beet pulp for Cows.

That dried beet pulp is better feed
for dairy COWS than corn silage was
demonstrated by the New Jersey ex-

a corn silage ration and four per cent.
more milk than on a hominy ration.

This estimate Is based on the cost
when all equipment is purchased new.
On the average farm. barrels and pals
are often available, and such cost
should then be deducted from this es-
innate. If 100-gallon tank is de-
sired In place of the 50-gallon pump
barrel, $40 should be added to the
total estimated cost.

PATENT TAX Is QUESTIONED.

A novel contention has been raised
by the attorneys of the GoldfeId
Consolidated who appeared before
the board of equalization of Esmer-
aida county TO protest against the
assessment of patented ground on
the basis of $500 per claim The
grounds for contention is that in
cases where the required 500 worth
OF assessment work has been done
during the year, the full value as
sessment is illegal.
The further point was raised that
the constitutional amendment under
which such assessment is sought tc
be collected is imperative until put
into force by legislative enactment
This, it is asserted, cannot occur,
until after the next election The
question is an interesting one, as
assessors all over the state have
assessed patented ground at the

HOLES IN THE AIR

In view of Fowler's statement
that he struck air hole" in che
of his attempted flights. the follow
ing comment on that phenomenon
from the New York Mail is Of in
terest:
1t has been proved to the salts
faction of the meteoroIogists that
there are really "holes in the air, i"
as aviators claim. These holes are
the center of air whirls. comparable
with the hole in the water in the
center of a wash basin when the
water is circling around and escap-
ing at a vent at the bottom. The
holes in the air are not destitute
of air, but in them the atmosphere
is much less dense than it is on
either side, and an aeroplane which
strikes one of them finds much less
resistance or buoying power be-
meath it. and will tend to drop
at once
Birds find these holes in the air,
and often drop perceptibly when
they strike them, but their swift
ness of movement and instructive
adaptation to conditions enable them
to get out of them quickly and
obtain a hold upon the mere sub
stantial surrounding medium
People who are contemplating
going up into the great deep of the
air in aerCplanes would do we'll t.
study the phenomena of "holes" b
fore they do so.

SIX MILLION IS
COST OF WATERS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 16.-In
1910 the sales of mineral water IN
the United States amounted to $685.
500, the product being 62,030,125 gal
Ions, as reported by George G. Mat
son of the United States Geological
Survey. Minnesota was the greatest
producer, with 9,962,370 gallons, de-
rived from 10 springs. New York was
a close second, selling 8,7SO,9O3 gal
Ions from 46 springs. Wisconsin,
however, obtained the greatest income
from her mineral water, her sales
amounting to 1866; New York was
second, with $S5S,635; and Indiana
third, with $514,958. Minnesota's
sales amounted to 1921 ,0O9. Louis
lana has only four commercial
springs; they produced 2,313,OOO gal
Ions.
Names output of mineral waters,
from 20 springs, decreased 277,37O gal
Ions, but on account of high prices in
creased in value over 1909, the figures
for 1910 being 1,23S,171 gallons and

though there was decrease in output
of about per cent as compared with

FLEET IRISH SCRAPPERS
GIVE IDAHO BAD HOUR

A scrappy bunch-those Irish of
Gonzaga-and fast, with the forward
pass, which is the reason they held
Idaho Saturday to a score of % to o.;
a distinct disappointment.
1t was the forward pass that wreck
ed Idaho's hopes of a big score. The
contingent from Erin knew all about
the forward pass that is to be found
in the books, and they played it just
that way. 1t was not until the last
quarter that Idaho got wise to the
play; nor did the varsity eleven then
break it up consistently.
F. Perkins made the one brilliant
play for Idaho when after two min
utes of play in the last quarter he
broke through the ranks of the Clan
ma Gael and did a 60-yard spring
down the field, planting the ball fair
ly between the posts. Hillman, Burns
and Burlington were also consistent
gamers for Idaho.
Idaho made fine gains through
Gonzaga's line, but time and again
the visitors bucked up and forced a
punt. Then Gonzaga, with it's deadly
forward pass gave the varsity few
bad minutes. In the last quarter
