"A report dealing with the coal re-
sources Of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what 10 known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials Of the
department estimate that of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1871
billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
Of coal now annually mined in Canada
Is about IL million tons. With an es-
t1mated quantity Of unmixed good coal,
Of "a billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. If
the inferior grades were included. sup
ply would last for 14,575 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
Of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output Of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,00 tons. At that rate it
would take only AS years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to tho end of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year (and it looks now as If this
number would be reached this year,,

being an estimate of the immigration

consumption of coal will naturally in

The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become SO well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and It will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what Is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres of land, capable of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels

FEED COST TO PRODUCE ONE
POUND OF BUTTER.

We are in receipt of a communlca
ton from one of our subscribers at
Hartford, Wash, in which he states
that be cannot see how butter fat can
be produced at a feed cost of five
cents per pound.
When butter fat can be produced
at such low figure we think it will
not be long before we can all take a
pleasure trip around the world. While
it may not be impossible to secure a
herd of COWS that will yield enough
fat to cut the price of fat down per-
ceptibly from what it is at the present
time, we feel that it will require much
cheaper feed than can be obtained
today and also higher producing
COW than those which we have at
present to produce pound of fat at
feed cost of five cents.
Suppose COW produced 500 pounds
of fat in a year which is considerably
above the average; the lowest possible
cost for feed would be about as fol-
lows:
Pasture for six months at 1.50
per month .............. 5 800
Grain while on pasture, 6 lbs.
per day at 1926 per ton ....... u. Is
Hay for remaining months,
one ton. 1900
Grain for remaining months,
This will make the cost about IL
cents.
If pasture could be obtained the
year around at 81. so per month and
if to supplement this it would require
only two pounds Of grain daily this
500 pound cow could then produce fat
at about five cents per pound. While
it is not impossible we think that it
is altogether improbable that snch
conditions exist.
In order to produce fat cheaply two
important factors must be considered
carefully; namely, the selection of
the feed and the production of the
animal: and the dairyman can de-
crease his feed cost to a large extent
if be gets higher producing cows and
uses good Judgment in the selection
of feeds.

81. II any accident occurs by which
a pail full or partly full of milk be-
comes dirty do not try to remedy this
by straining but reject all this milk
and rinse the pail.
80. Weigh and record the milk
given by each COW and take sample
morning and night at least once a
week for testing by the fat test.
33. Remove the milk of every COW
at once from the stable to clean,
dry room where the air is pure and
sweet. Do not allow cans to remain
in stables while they are being filled.
81. Strain the milk through a
metal gauze and a flannel cloth or
layer of cotton as soon as it is drawn.
30. Aerate and cool the milk as
soon as strained. If an apparatus for
airing and cooling at the same time
is not at hand the milk should be
aired first. This must be done in
pure air and it should then be cooled
to As degrees il the milk is for ship
ment or to 60 degrees if for home use
or delivery to factory.
SO. Never close a can containing
warm milk which has not been aerat
ed.

cream it should be stirred with tin

80. Keep the night milk under
shelter so rain cannot get into the
cans. In warm weather hold it in a
tank of fresh cold water.
40. Never mix fresh warm milk
with that which has been cooled.
Al. Do not allow the milk to freeze.
40. Under no circumstances should
anything be added to milk to prevent
it's souring. Cleanliness and cold are
the only preventives needed.

In each change from the alfalfa

there was a gain of 1888 pounds but
when fed on the former there was
loss of II. "a pounds of fat. Bran and
barley produced 7.51 per cent more
fat and 4. O6 per cent more total solids
than the alfalfa molasses meal.
Fourth-It cost two cents more to
produce one pound of butter and
three cents more to produce one
hundred pounds of milk when bran
and barley was replaced by alfalfa
molasses meal.
