to Madrid among all the cities of
the world as far as l am inform

Not only the houses in this part of
Madrid are grand, but the equipages
are as fine as may be seen anywhere,

THE GRANARY or
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, "have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of one hundred years of peace. 1t
matters not so much as to the form
Of the outward celebration, but let us
hope that it's full significance may
sink deep into the hearts of both ma
tions, and that, whether north or south
Of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
of peace, and earnest prayers that in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the St.
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people,"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become. before long, the granary of
North America"
MANY of our best citizens, / regret
to say" said the governor, ARE ieay-
ing the States of the west and going
into the Canadian northwest, because
of the fertility of it's soil. the lib
crafty of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
1--WE should extend to them help
ing hand in their onward march of
progress. Instead of closing our doors
by tariff barriers against these coun-
tries and their products, in my opinion.
we should open them wider and do
everything in our power to facilitate
closer commercial relations. We want
their products and they want our prod
ucts, and all restrictions to prevent a
fairer and freer exchange of goods.

A bulletin entitled Economical
Beef Production" by H. r. Smith,
has just been issued by the Nebraska
experiment station. This report
gives the results of four experiments
in which comparisons are made OF diff
ferent rations suitable for producing
beef in Nebraska and of different
like conditions. The general conclu-
sions are as follows:
In comparing bran, linseed-meal,
and cold pressed cotton seed cake
each as g source of protein supple
menting cornmeal and silage, the
cold pressed cake proved to be worth
so per cent. more per ton than wheat
bran, and linseed meal Is per cent.
more per ton than cold pressed cot
ton seed cake.
In the use of each of these supple
mentary protein feeds with cornmeal
and prairie hay, the cold pressed cot
Ton seed cake showed value per ton
% per cent greater than wheat bran,
and the linseed meal 2S per cent more
than the cotton seed sake.
Where alfalfa was used in connec-
ton with cornmeal and silage, or
cornmeal and prairie hay, large gains
were made without the use of con-
centrated protein food. The gains in
both experiments where alfalfa was
fed were larger less costly and much
more profitable. These experiments,
supplementing what had previously
been found, show that beef can be
produced in Nebraska at lower cost
and with greater profit on combina-
ton of the corn plant and alfalfa
hay than on any other combination of
foods available in the state.
These experiments show that corn
silage gives larger gains than shred
ded corn slower when each is fed

stances a higher condition of flesh.
a larger proportion of high-priced
meat, and sold for higher price per
hundred returning larger profits to
the feeder on the basis of the same
initial cost per hundred.
1t does not require lot of capital
to become a breeder of pure-bred cat
tie, provided a person can be salts
fed to grow In the business rather
than go into it. The first thing to
decide is what breed meets a PERSONS
tastes and conditions best. When this
point is settled, says the Southwestern
Stockman, then a bull of good breed
| ing should be selected and bred to the
herd and calves raised from best
cows. The raising of grade calves will
give the owner a wider experience
and help him to understand some OF
the finer points concerning the rear
ing of specialized dairy cattle.
The knowledge gained by raising
and developing grades will be very
helpful when a pure-bred heifer or
two is purchased as foundation stock
of a pure-bred herd. The informa'
ton gained by the care of grades will
not only be useful, but the selection
of 2 bull will give an experience, at
least it should, that cannot be gained
in any other way. This step of select
ing bull places the dairy farmer in
touch with the breeds of dairy cattle
and he is awakened to the fact that
there is a great difference in bulls.
A pure-bred bull is a greater educator
| for he is the means of leading men
to think and study.
! With one or two good heifers 1t re-
quires but few years to build up a
good herd of pure-bred cattle. In the
selection of purebred heifers pains
| should be taken to select good ami
mails, but greater care should be ex-
ercised in the selection of the bull,
! for it is through the bull the herd is
| improved. In other words, the bull
has an influence on every calf born
in the herd, while the COW influence
but one calf year.
| 1t therefore becomes the greatest
| Importance for a dairy farmer to Sc
lect a well-bred and good breeding
bull. Very often aged bulls that are
| good breeders are offered at prices
little above their value for beef. They
are harder and more dangerous to
handle than a yearling, but this
should not prevent person from
purchasing the aged bull, especially
If he has proven himself getter Of
good stock. The bull must prove his
worth as breeder of good stock
| just as the COW must prove hers at
the pail.
To summarize briefly, the steps to
| be taken by a dairy farmer who de-
sires to become a breeder of pure
bred cattle: First, select the breed
that is preferred and meets condi.
/ tons best. Second, select a well-bred
BULL and when possible one that has
proven himself a getter of good
stock Third, when finances and ex-
perience will permit, buy pure-bred
heifer or two, and from these ami
mails grow into pure-breds.

be skeptical, yet the truth relAains
that NJ. Peleprat discovered not only
one spring whose very existence had
been unheard of, but number OF
them.
The secret is one with which he
does not care to part. The rod is OF
metal; nothing out of the ordinary
excepting that it is sensitized. 1t is
suspended from a loop attached to any
part of the garment of the wearer,
who holds both ends firmly in his
hands. When the searcher arrives at
place where a spring is to be found,
the rod undergoes series of violent
vibrations, similar to those recorded
by a seismograph when an earthquake
thousands of miles away takes place.

more per ton.
Corn slower has value 80 per cent.
as great is prairie hay, and the por-
ton consumed is fully as valuable.
Prairie hay at it's usual market price
is not profitable for fattening cattle.
In comparing a ration consisting of
a heavy feed of cornmeal, alfalfa and
a light feed of silage, with a ration
consisting of a medium quantity of
light feed of corn, alfalfa and heavy
feed of silage, yearling steers being
fattened for market made cheaper
and more profitable gains on the
larger feed Of corn and smalled feed
of corn silage.
In growing calves to be fattened
later for market, the cheapest gains
were made on a liberal ration of corn
silage and alfalfa without grain, the
cost of gains increasing in proportion
to the AMOUNT of cornmeal fed.
These experiments show that there
is q great variation in the capacity
of individual steers to make gains
under like conditions. The data do
not show that the individuals of one
breed make larger gains than those
OF another breed. The variation in
gain seems to be fully as great within
breed as between representatives
of different breeds.
Type or conformation seems to be
controlling factor, the low-set more
compact types having something OF
an advantage in gains and much in
early maturity over the rangy type.
Gains seem to correlate to a con
siderable degree with body capacity
as indicated by the size of the middle
girth, the largest gainers have rela.
lively larger middle girths at the
same weight in most instances.
While the average gains made by
all dairy bred steers are nearly the
same as those made by the beef-bred
steers up to the age OF twenty-three
months. the latter showed IN mGat in
