CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement Of
Canada's West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $1,000 silver
trophy awarded by the State of Colo
RADIO for the best peck Of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J.. C. Hill &
Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed a peck of oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and u Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition Of the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c., and it is
said of it that it was one of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons of ~Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There
was no trouble for the Judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching a decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
fax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t is not only in oats, but it
is in wheat, in barley and in fax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
in the districts contiguous, where the
conditions Of climate, shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large in
profits. 1t was in the Province of
Manitoba that the steer vas raised
that carried off the Championship OF
the steer class, at Chicago last De
cember. This beast had been f~attened
on the grass and hay Of the Province
and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce Of corn.
Western Canada presents innumer.
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
Of acres, the medium man satisfied
with a few hundred acres, the mar
who is content to farm his free home
stead of one hundred and sixty acres
it has opportunities for the investor
the capitalist, the business man, the
manufacturer and the laborer.
Agents of the Canadian Government
located at different points in the Unit
ed States will be pleased on applica
ton, to give any desired information

Thirteen Not unlucky for Him.

DR.. hansen has good reason to re-
gard thirteen as a lucky number. The
crew of the Fran, in which he made
the most successful of his expedi-
tons, consisted of thirteen men, who
all, after an absence Of three years,
returned to their homes in perfect
safety. DR.. Nansen arrived back in
Norway on Aug. 10, 1896, and on the
anne day the Fran emerged from her
long drift on the ice into the open
sea-. Moreover, during the voyage, as
the doctor records, Kirk presented
US with thirteen pups, a curious coin
cidence-thirteen pups born on Dec.
Is, 1893, for thirteen men,"

Chicago.-Frantic appeals for help

residents. A Servant famine" the
most serious ever experienced by res
idents of Highland Park, Wilmette,

The departure of the Fort Sheridan

for the exodus Of female servants, who

For years back the soldiers of the

Nearly every farm contains some
land that is too poor for raising crops
and that is not available for grazing
or other purposes, which usually lies
idle year after year. This land is a
burden to the owner, because it brings
in no returns yet must bear its share
of the taxes. Such land ought to be
devoted to the raising of forest trees.
When we consider that an acre of
land planted to fast-growing trees will
produce from 1000 to 5000 fente
posts in 20 years, and that with some
species fence posts can be secured
in less than 10 years, a farmer, by
allowing waste places to stand idle is
losing a return he could secure by a
slight effort. 1t is not a difficult mat
ter to start a woodlot. Neither is it
an expensive one. 1t can be done
without any expense to the owner,
except the time and effort necessary
to start the trees.
In selecting the trees the site to be
planted must be considered first, and
trees chosen that are suited to that
site. The trees growing thrifty on

BEYOND PAGES OF HISTORY
Primitive Race Of Man Existed in Az
RIGA Before Years Began to
Be Counted.

A primitive race Of men existed in
South Africa according to a recent
Interesting discovery of DR.. Broom Of
Germiston. This scientists archaeo-
logical and geological researches have
made. his name familiar to scientists
in Europe and America. Some time
ago, a hot spring was discovered thir-
ty miles north of Bloemfontein and in
the course of operations designed to
open up the eye of the spring, it was
necessary to tunnel into a sandhill.
In the trend of operations the work
men came upon a quantity of nam
malian remains associated with hu-
man implements and a quantity of
charred wood. The significance of the
discovery was not realized by the first
finders. but fortunately a Dutch lady
in the district suspected that they had
scientific value, and prevented the
finds from being dispersed. Dr.. Bloom
went down and examined them. He
found that the bones were chiefly
those of h~ippopotami, Gland, bubauls
baini (the huge extinct buffalo OF
South Africa, whose horns used to at.
tain a span of u feet, equis ~capensis
the gigantic Cape horses long since
extinct, which far exceeded the
C~lydesdale in size), an extinct variety
of wild beasts, the wart hog, and a
number of small buck, Previous dis
coveries had caused scientists to be
lieve that man had lived in South AT
RIGA contemporaneously with the ex
tinct giant buffalo, but the proofs
available we're inconclusive. DR.
Broom regards this discovery as prov
ing their co-existence beyond doubt.

situations similar to the n to be
planted should be noted, and such
trees selected for planting, Often a
tree not native to the region can be
found that will produce better results
than native trees. Nearly all trees
grow well on deep, moist, fertile soil,
so it is only when a planting is to be
made on poor soil that the selection
Of species becomes important.
Every farm should have a forest
nursery for starting the trees for the
woodlot. Such a nursery can also be
used to grow larger trees for planting
about the house, along the road and
for making wind breaks. This is To-
Gated on well-drained, fertile soil, such
as might be selected for a garden.
Where the space can be spared, a por-
ton of the garden makes an ideal
nursery site. The soil should not be
made excessively rich, as too fertile
a soil will produce rank growth in
seedlings, making them difficult to
handle in transplanting.
Seed for planting can be gathered
from trees in the open much easier
and faster than from trees in the for
est, which bear seed only on the up
per branches. Small seed is picked
from the tree, while heavy seed is
gathered from the ground after it has
fallen. Seed should not be collected
until it is ripe and should be obtained
only from thrifty trees of good form
and without disease.
Care of Seeds During Winter.
The seeds of many of our trees are
liable to lose their vitality if allowed
to dry out over winter. Walnut, hick-
DRY, Eastwood, box elder, chestnut,
sycamore, oak, butternut, Usage
orange and black cherry come in this
list. These seeds must be kept moist
by stratifying them. This consists in
burying the seeds, as soon as mature,
in a shallow pit about 10 or ~ inches
deep, located on a w~ell-drained slope
where the seed will keep moist but
not wet. A layer of seed should be
placed in the bottom of the pit and
covered with about six inches of earth,
Freezing will not injure the seeds, but
will help to crack open the shells and
otherwise benefits the termination.
Seeds that are stored dry will ger,

FEEDING TANKAGE TO HOGS
BY C. E. Brashear Of the College Of
Agriculture, University Of
Missouri.

Many farmers who realize the value
Of tankage as a hog feed decline to
feed it for fear Of introducing disease
into their herds. In making tankage
meat scraps, bones, dead hogs, etc,
are thrown together into a large tank.
Superheated steam is then introduced
and the mixture is held at a high tenn
perature for some time, after which
the grease ie drawn off and used In
making soap. The remainder Is dried,
ground, sacked and sold as tankage.
1t has a high protein content, and Ia
well adapted to hog feeding in con
nection with corn, about one part
tankage to ten parts corn. Corn is de-
fcient in protein, and by feeding a
small amount Of tankage with II a
balanced ration may be made.

FEEDING YOUNG CHICKENS

Chickens should not be fed until
they r AS to 70 hours old, At the
time OF Matching a large portion Of
the yolk sack is drawn into the body
cavity and furnishes a portion of the
food for several days. The first food
which should be fed is fine grit in
limited quantities. This stimulates
the digestive tract and prepares the
organs to receive the food which is to
follow.
About four hours later commercial
chick food and rolled oats can be fed,
by sprinkling them in clover chaff
used for bedding the coop, or they
may be fed on a board floor in front
Of the coop. The chicks take readily
to the rolled oats, and as feed it is
hard to excel.
Stale bread crumbs mixed with

boiled eggs and finely chopped by run
ming through a meat chopper, mixed
with milk and fed in a crumbling (not
sloppy condition, makes an excellent
ration. Skim milk should be kept be-
fore the chicks all the time. 1t should
be fed sour rather than sweet; be-
cause If fed sweet one day and sour
the next the quick change in the ra-
ton will cause a d%iarrhoea to set up.
A growing chick requires a large
amount of bone-making material. Ad-
ditional ash should be added to the
ration in the form of finely crushed
oyster shells, or a grit made up Of
fine limestone or fine bone meal. Lack
of ~boAe-making material in the ration
quite often results in leg weakness.
Green food should also be fed in the
form Of finely chopped lettuce, raw
onions or finely cut alfalfa.

Regarding the exposition which
New Orleans is to have, will no
doubt be one of the greatest things
towards furthering the develop
ment of this section of the country.
There is quite little objection
by some towards giving financial
aid. and We feel that an exposition
of this sort should be given strong
moral support if not the financial.
An exposition such as this tells
the outside world what Louisiana
is and besides brings many here to
to see it personally.
