Washington.-Wo Wonderful stories OF
gathered by the natural history de-
partment of the Carnegie institution
at Washington. Not only the Amer
lean government, but many of the
other civilized nations employ experts
who trace the flights of the feathered
creatures Of the air. Most of the work
in this country is being done by the
department of agriculture, which sew
eral years ago got out book on the
subject
Since then many new facts of inter-
est have been discovered. The latest
reported experiments and observations
have been conducted by the natural
history department of Aberdeen uni
versity, in Scotland.
From that institution comes an ac-
count of song thrush that travelled
LOO miles in six months after it was
Matched. This thrush was one of a
brood which, when they were chicks,
had rings put on their feet when they
were still in the nest at Skene, in
Aberdeenshire, early in June, 1910.
| This same thrush was shot near Leira,
in Portugal, in early November Of the
same year. The two localities are
more than 1880 English miles apart
in direct overseas line, and this thrush
thus made journey ON more than
1900 miles, the Scottish naturalists
say.
A widgeon duckling, ringed at birth
on Loeb Brora, Sutherland, Scotland,
! was taken three months afterward in
duck decoy In northeastern Holland,
| 500 miles from its nest.
A lapwing, marked as chick in
northern Scotland. was shot in south
ern Portugal in six months.
| A guillemot, marked when Matched
on the Aberdeenshire cliffs, was shot
four and a half months later 500
miles to the east, Just north Of Gothen-
berg, in Sweden.
The researches of the United States
agricultural department show that
great fiocks Of North American birds
in their passages to and from South
America fly directly across the Gulf Of
Mexico.

$4,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In report of the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
All of which is true and it is now
the part of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found in the
letters contributed by some of the
settlers. For Instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks of that district.
but what he says, applies generally to
all of Southern Alberta. He says
81 have seen six crops, four of them
were first class, one of them very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that l am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that is, from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture, and with the natural in
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and good climate, and alto
gether just as desirable country to-
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled SO rapidly.
Full particulars can be had Of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who wilt
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

partment of Agricuiture)
Whether the large house for swine
with individual pens Is better than the
individual cot is an open question,
perhaps largely matter of individual
preference. Each has It's distinct ad-
vantages which can not be secured In
the other. Many OF the best hog rails
ers are now providing themselves with
both types of houses, and iris seems
to be the most satisfactory method.
1t is no more expensive in the long
run, for all the buildings can be kept
in use the year round In such cases
the large houses are used for farrow-
ing quarters, and as soon as the pigs
are week or two old, or as soon as
the weather permits, the sows and lit
tiers are removed to the individual
cots During the remainder of the
year the large houses are utilized for
sleeping quarters.
The small cot has the advantage of
keeping each SOW from the disturb
ance of the others, and lessons the
danger from contagious and infectious
diseases. The disturbance in a large
house, however, is usually not a Sc
rious matter and is often unduly en-
phasized After the pigs get little
start there is usually more or less
robbing where many are together.
The individual cot lessons this trouble.

Colored hats of braid, with rolling
brim made on wire frames and
trimmed with changeable taffeta, are
used for darker hats Immense bows
of ribbon, with standing loops, form
the trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons are used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops are wired to
keep them in the outstanding posi-
lions.
Although but one trimming material
is used, or at most two, on this class
of millinery-ampl quantities are nee
essary of this single material. Bows
are very large, sweeping like wings,
from the body of the hat. But some
small fancy feather ornaments are eff
fectively used on small shapes. They
are vivid in coloring as rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright green's next.
1t is already settled that black and
white will have a great vogue in the
coming midsummer.

PARIS TAKES UP NEW COLORS
Jade and Malachite Green Are the
Latest to Find Favor in the Gay
French Capital.

While Paris has almost exhausted
it's favoritism for red, which has been
going on since last summer, it has
just begun it's enthusiasm for jade
and malachite green.
Both of these are lovely. bold tones
that need yelling on a number OF
women, or otherwise they would be
washed out.
When they are used without veil
ing the upper part Of the bodice is
made of tulle in white or flesh pink, to
take the shade OF the green from the
face; and when a woman cannot wear
the unrelieved tone it is yelled with a
dark shade of green tulle instead OF
black tulle
On these gowns there is an oppor-
tunity to use many jade and mala-
chite stones as trimming and as orna-
ments.

raising and putting a sled underneath.
| A good floor is the ground with
woven wire stretched on top to pre-
vent the hogs from roofing. Electric
| ally welded corncrfb wire is very sat
isfactory. This makes floor which
is easy on the hogs, almost free from
rats, and il properly bedded, warm
and dry. 1t is, however, more difficult
to keep free from dust than some 9TH
er floors. Many concrete floors are
used but they are cold, liable to be
wet, and are hard on the hogs feet.
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors. Concrete floors are.
| however, very satisfactory when COW
cred with plank overlays, or false
| floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side, as shown in
| the illustration. The wood portion of
| this floor consists of by 4 inch tim
bers laid about one-fourth inch apart
to allow drainage
Board floors are expensive, short
lived, cold If up off the ground, and
make the worst kind of rat harbolp.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor in which the
owner said the rats had gotten over
, half the pigs. Several men report
that rats may be kept out by packing
before laying the floor, but these ma
terials are often too expensive to be
used for this purpose.
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to IL inches above, SO that
young pigs can not crawl through, and
so sows in the adjoining pens can not
get hold of them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull new
ly born pig through under partition
and eat it, when, If the pig was in
the pen with her, 1t would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or II inches
it is better to have the partitions open
enough so the hogs can see cut, other
wise at every sound the sows will be
up on the partitions to see what is
going on.
Pig rails or guardrails should be
placed on the inside of the pen, from
to 10 inches from the floor, accord
ing to the size of the SOW, and should
stand out 6 or inches to prevent the
SOW from MASKING the pigs against
the wall.
1t will be found convenient to have
the alley gates removable by lifting
out. 1t is sometimes helpful, Also to
have part or all of the partition fences
removable. All partitions should be
80 to SO inches high.
Six by feet is generally found to
| be a very satisfactory size for pens,
but If feeding is to be done inside, the
pens will need to be longer in order
to give room TO feed and water with
out getting the bed befouled. Very
/ large sows, such as are sometimes
| kept by breeders, may need more
room, but the producer of pork will
not need larger pen. Small sows
do not need this much room, and it
might be good economy to make half
of the pens 5 feet wide Five by g

SUITABLE FEED
FOR THE CATTLE
Method Depends Wholly on Age
and Future OF the Stock
Good Ration for
Young Calves.

The feeding of cattle depends upon
the age and the future of the animals.
If fed for market liberal supply of
palatable food is necessary. If for
merely holding through the winter,
feed the coarser, cheaper feeds. Cattle
to be grazed during the summer will
do the best if not turned on the grass
too fat. The change of feed retards
the growth The feed that is consumed
to put on this surplus of fat is lost
Calves should have the best rough
age available. There should be suf-
fcient palatable and nutritious foods
to keep them at their maximum
growth until they are put on the grass.
When the calves are from six to
twelve months old they should not be
fed the coarser feeds. A good daily

DerhYs of Straw.

Taffeta and hemp are being used to
make some of the smartest of stiff
hats. Panama hats are also being
shown, these being very large and
trimmed with wings as rule.
But one of the most popular shapes
seems to be the derby, made on much
the same lines of the derby Of the
winter. This is rather severe, but is
becoming to the young woman, and it
cannot be denied that when it is be-
coming it is very, very smart in ap-
pearance.

Celery GROWING.

The grower of celery plants should
bear in mind that although this is a
hardy plant it requires as much heat
in the hotbed or cold frame as toma-
toes. If the plants are started in
the greenhouse do not make the mis-
take of shifting to the cold frame too
soon. Low temperatures will not only
injure the plants but may force them
into seed shoots after setting in the
field. When set in the frame they
should have as much heat as tomato
plants.
