Soups and Their Value

Soups may be divided into three
classes: those containing considerable
nourishment, as thick soups; the clear
soups, containing vegetables, moder-
ately nourishing; the thick, clear
soups, containing the stimulating ese-
ments of the beef without the nouxiah-
ment
Water cannot dissolve the fiber of
the beef, so for that reason we always
over into meat dishes. The bones
from roasts or poultry, or part OF the
steak from dinner, should all be put
in a kettle, covered with cold water
and simmered until the goodness is
cooked out Never boil soup of any
kind, for that hardens the meat with
out drawing out the goodness.

beef, three quarts cold water, one-haH

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 Milwaukee office
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this TO the ticket agent Of
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured ticket at reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles. she had friends. This was
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: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go 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 il
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 a
woman's standpoint, the 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 po-
tatoes and I don't know how many OF
vegetables. I think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
err 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. g.
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 it's
place amongst the progressive coun-
tries of the century. Numbers of let
ters that express satisfaction as ex-
IRENE as the one quoted appear in
literature sent out by the Canadian
Government and which may be had
on application to any of its agents.

Device That Saves, Feed, Hogs and Temper.

Don't pour slop onto the heads OF
your hogs. Here is a simple device
which can be used either in the hog
house or outside. 1t will enable you
to distribute the slop evenly while
the hogs wait.
Saw a section out of the side of
your pen, an inch shorter than the
inside length of the trough and two
or three feet high. Discard one six
inch board to make room for the
trough and cleat the others together
as you would in making shed door.
Replace the section, hanging it with
hinges so it can swing in or out.
Fix the trough firmly parallel to the
section and centerly under it. The
section should now swing freely, fit
ting either edge of the trough closely.

RED CLOVER IS CORNERSTONE
OF AGRICULTURE in SECTIONS
Eighth OneThird Of Total Area of
Cultivated Most Successful Farms In
Central. Western States
as Pasture

Red clover seed may be poor and
undesirable from several points OF
view. Such seed is constantly being
nized and rejected. Il may be poorly
developed, many seeds being shriveled
and dull brown In color. Such seeds
will not produce plants. Often red
clover Is adulterated by the use OF yell
low trefoil, dead clover seed. cheap
imported seed or weedy screenings.
Each of these constituents reduces the
stand of healthy plants and makes the
purchaser pay for what he does not
get. transportation included. He Is
likely to get an undesired crop of
weeds, some of which may become a
decided menace to his locality.
Some of the weed seeds appearing
In red clover seed can be removed by
the farmer by the use of wire-cloth
sieve containing 20 meshes to the
linear inch. Most of the clover seeds
of medium size are held back by such
sieve and practically all the smaller
weed seeds pass through. The true
clover dodder, which is a very noxious
pest in clover fields, is quite effective
ly removed in this way. Most OF the
seeds of the field dodder are also re-
moved. Seed or buckhorn, wild car
rot, wild chicory, thistles, and others
of similar size are mostly. held back
by the sieve. The small-grained clover
seed imported from Europe largely
passes through such a sieve. An easy
method of separating buckhorn seed
from clover has been devised. This
method consists of mixing with the
seed containing the buckhorn thor
oughly wetted sawdust. The buck
horn seed becomes sticky on being wet
and readily attaches itself to the saw
dust. The entire mass is then imme-
diately screened, when the larger par
ticles 4 sawdust, with the buckhorn
attached. are readily separated from
the clover seed This work should be
done Immediately before sowing the
clover seed, which, with the small
particles of sawdust that pass the
screen, need to be dried only suffi-
GENTLY to enable the seeding to take
place readily. This is an effective
means of removing practically all
buckhorn seeds and is easily accom-
plished by the farmer who handles a
comparatively small quantity of reed
which is not necessarily bulked i'm
mediately afr the somewhat damp
seed hes been screened out.
