Sheds.

With a stage OF 9 feet 3 inches reg.
istered at the local wharf yesterday
afternoon, the Ohio river was the low.
est II has been at this port since Feb
ruary, when it cleared of ice. The
river was falling very slowly, but It
was thought the rains over the water
sheds Monday afternoon and evening
would check the fall.
Bad Night on the River.
According TO the rivermen, the
weather of Monday night was the
worst which has been experienced for
sometime. Yesterday all OF the boats
were behind the schedule, many OF
them being forced to time up on ac-
count OF the high wind. While no
great Damage was reported, many OF
the smaller craft suffered somewhat.
and much inconvenience was caused.

Delayed nearly 10 hours by the
heavy wind. the Greenwood cleared
the local wharf at Z a. m. for Parkers-

THE HOME LIFE OF THE
SETTLER
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LuxURIES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
q certificate at the Milwanke cffice
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent OF
the railway at the Canadian BOUNDARY
line she secured a ticket at a r. duced
rate which carried her tC Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for.
ty miles. she had friends. This was a
couple of years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one of the
promising young farmers of the dis
trict.
In writing of her trip to the Mil
waukee Representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: II enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to so out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring" To
the housewife the information that
she has put up twelve quarts of rasp-
berries" is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this is interesting from
woman's standpoint, Sthe country is
very beautiful" Speaking of the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: "They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house'--they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres POI
tatoes and don't know how many OF
vegetables. | think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards pillow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle. and Mrs. &.
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average of 30 pounds of butter
every week. never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta: they have a splendid eli.
mate, excellent prospects. and are
happy that they are part and parcel
in the working out of the upbuilding
of new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive cour.

ALFALFA PASTURE
FOR GROWING PIGS

By PROF. C. C. HUMPHREY
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

The best and cheapest growth in
pigs is made on pasture supplemented
by given amount of grain. Accord
ing to good authorities. there is no
better hog pasture than alfalfa A
feeding trial with pigs which lasted
ninety eight days at the Kansas ex-
pertinent station showed one acre of
alfalfa equal to two acres of rape pas
ture. and 100 pounds more gain during
this period for pigs on pasture than
for an equal number which were pen
fed. 1t is further claimed by some
farmers that spring pigs on alfalfa
pasture will leave the SOW two weeks
earlier than the ordinary weaving
time and make nearly their entire
gain of 100 to 1875 pounds on alfalfa
alone. 1t undoubtedly pays. however,
to feed some shelled corn or other
grain in addition to pasture. since
pigs will utilize it to a much better
advantage while on pasture than at
any other time II ought not to be
difficult to make pigs weigh 200
pounds OF more at six months of age
by this manner Of feeding.
Many are opposed to pasturing al
falfa for. fear Of destroying it. Only
where alfalfa grows in abundance and
can readily be seeded does II pay,
perhaps, to use 1t for pasture Where
it grows in abundance and is not too
valuable for hay. 1t would seem wise
to have certain areas for pasture
Good authorities claim all injury from
pasture can be avoided by proper man
agement, and that it is possible TO
get three cuttings of hay in addition
to pasture
In attempting to pasture alfalfa
with pigs. the following points re-
garding management should be OBJ
served
Do no turn pigs on TO the field I'M
til the alfalfa is nearly a foot high
and keep them on there only during
the growing season.
Never allow pics to pasture alfalfa
in winter or when the entire field has
been recently cut.
Do not overstock the pasture. The
proper number of pigs will vary ac-
cording to their size Twelve hundred
to 1900 pounds of live weight per
acre is considered to be about the
right amount of stock.
Have It possible to rotate pigs
from one part of the field to another.
which will enable cutting the alfalfa
twice or three times and ar the aana
time keep the pigs on suitable pas
ture.
Rings should be put in pigs noses
II they are inclined to root.
The relatively high protein content
Of alfalfa and the rapidity WIZ which
1t grows makes It valuable pasture
for pigs. and by giving consideration
to the above points Of management il
IS believed many farmers can vel
afford to utilize a given area OF ALTA
IA for hog pasture
