PREPARING FOR
NEW SETTLERS
EXTENDING THE AGRICULTURAL
AREA IN WESTERN CANADA.

For sometime past the Canadian
government has had surveyors at
work plating new areas for the ac'
commodation Of the largely incrcas
ing number of settlers coming in TO
occupy the agricultural districts OF
tho three prairie provinces. There
wcre those connected with the work
Of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring pronhcsied that
there would be as many rs 10000
now settlers from the United States
to Canada during the present year.
and there were those who doubted
that the previous years figures OF
10000 could be Increased Recent
computation made by the officials Of
tho immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States viii be reached. As great an
increase win be shown In the figures
Of those who will reach Canada from
ether countries this year. Tho re-
suits OF the years work IN Canadian
immigration will give upward Of q
total Of 100000 souls.
Hut this "a not to be wondered ut
when It Is realized what Is cG,ring in

in tho coast province Of British Co

BETTER POULTRY STOCK
THE BIRDS FIRST OFF THE BOOST
ARE MOST VALUABLE.
BY H, L. Kempster. Professor Of Poul.
try Husbandry, College Of Apr.
culture, University Of Missouri

The secret OF successful poultry
breeding is to Gull breeding stock
should undergo the most rigid selcc.
ton, not only for type, but for consti.
tutional yigor. Unless bird has
strong constitution it Is not an eco.
nomical producer. The chicks are
more liable 10 contract disease, and
those that live are not as good egg
producers, nor do the birds grow and
fatten with as economical gains.
A good constitution is indicated by
a broad, deep chest, long body, active,
vigorous disposition, keen blight eyes
and broad head with a brieht.colored
comb and glossy plumaGc Male birds
should display vim and vigor Females
with long crow heads, heavy abdo-
mems and excessive fat due to lack Of
exercise should be eliminated from
the breeding pens, as they are rarely
good producers and are always poor
breeders The bird which is first of
the roost in the morning and last TO
20 on the roost at night should be
used. Above all. select q strong male
bird He is half the flock
The great point is to have some
type in mind and select the breeding
stock with this purpose in view. Too
close inbrccding is also the cause of
lack Of vitality The criticisms to be
made Of the farmers breeding meth
DDS are
l. Using inferior males that have
been retained for home use.
2. Inbreeding.
8. Breeding from the entire stock
4. Selecting eggs for Matching from
the general egg basket
The breeding season is always the
one OF the highest egg production In
frrior birds are usually laying anC
are as liable to reproduce as the bet
ter specimens. Another common praC
ticc is the introduction Of males o.
different breeds. Stick to one breed
Pure.bred stock is more liable to pro
duce reliable stock. Scrubs and dung
hills cannot be depended upon. Breed
ing from entire locks produces ipfe
riOr progeny. By selecting few o
the best females and then mating
them to good vigorous male, enough
eggs for Matching can be produced anC
the practice will result in bettel
progeny. Poor stock is Improbable
Good quality is not only productive
but also demands 4 higher price wher
marketed. Careful selection is as i'm
portant In improving poultry as IL
other branches OF live stock.

Youth Shoots Up Court.

Ray NJ. Stewart, eighteen years old,
tried to shoot up the criminal court
in Washington when Justice Stafford
refused to release him on probation
after conviction for attempted rob-
berry.
Before guards could overpower him,
Stewart drew a pistol and fired three
bullets perilously near Justice Stat
ford and the assistant United States
attorneys, Given and Hawken. He
was sent to Jail then to answer the
more serious charge.
Dashing toward Hawken and Given,
the youth began shooting rapidly. One
bullet whizzed by Hawken's head and
was buried in window sill behind.
Stewart was turning toward Justice
Stafford when several policemen leap
ed upon him.
The court room was in an uproar
and many persons dived for cover.
The attack came SO suddenly that few
realized what was happening until the
man had been overpowered. Hawlen
had prosecuted Stewart, but Given had
not appeared against him. 1t is not
known how the prisoner got the re-
volver.

JACK JOHNSON GONE,
NOT ExTRAD|TABLE
Negro Pugi|ist Safe in Canada
U. S. Officials Say.

Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist,
who was convicted in Chicago for Vio-
lation of the Mann white slave act,
and fed, has made good his escape
from the United States for the time
being at least, and can neither be ex-
tradited nor deported from Canada,
according to the latest official view In
Washington.
Johnson, it has been learned, is
travelling on a tourist ticket and Can
ada cannot return him, because her
immigration law does not exclude a
transient alien in such circumstances.
Johnson's offense is not extraditable
in Canada. Officials in Washington
were making an effort to have the ne
gro return to this country under the
Canadian immigration law, but it has
failed.
If the United States circuit court OF
appeals sustains Johnson's conviction
his one-year sentence for violating the
Mann white slave law will be enforci-
BILE any time he returns to the United
States.
Word came from Ottawa, Can, to
the department of justice saying that
if Johnson does not at once prove to
the immigration officials at Montreal
that he holds a through ticket to St.
Petersburg or France, as he maintains,
he will be arrested and sent back to
Chicago as quickly as the machinery
of the law will permit. Further 1t
Johnson holds such ticket, he must
use it without delay. This announce.
ment, it was said, was made by the
Canadian immigration department.
