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 &C
commodation of the largely increas-
ing number Of settlers coming in to
occupy the agricultural districts of
the three prairie provinces. There
were those connected with the work
of securing settlers for western Can
ada who last spring prophesied that
there would be as many as $4,000
new 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
the immigration branch at Ottawa
show that the largest estimates made
by officials will be beaten and that
the 100000 mark from the United
States will be reached. As great an
increase will be shown in the figures
Of those who will reach Canada from
other countries this year. The re-
suits of the years work in Canadian
N migration will give upward of a
Total of 100000 souls.
I But this is not to be wondered at
when fits realized what is offering in
the three prairie provinces and also
in the coast province of British Co.
lumbia, which is also bidding strong
ly and successfully, too, for a certain
class Of settler, the settler who
wishes to go into mixed farming or
fruit raising. When the central por-
ton of this province is opened up by
the railway now being constructed
there will be large areas Of splendid
land available for the settler.
Reference has frequently been made
Of late by those interested in develop
ing the American west to the large
numbers who are going to Canada,
high officials in some of the railways
being amongst the number to give
voice to the fact. The more these
facts become known the more will
people seek the reasons and these
are best given when one reads what
prominent people say of 1t. What the
farmer thinks of it and what his
friends say Of it. James A. Flaherty.

JAse of breeding heifers his views
have always been backed up by both
experience and observation.
When the heifer is bred to drop the
drst calf at the age of two years,
and In nearly all instances this can
be done, the habit of giving milk is
early stimulated, besides the young
cow is more tractable, and thus more
readily brought under the environ
ment of her new condition. With the
first calf dropped at the age of two
years it is better to delay the breed
Ing of the second calf for six or
eight months, but keep milking her
for year at least, in order to de-
velop the trait of long and persis-
tent milking. After the second calf
she can be bred regularly every year.
If properly fed and handled there Is
really no danger Of stunning the
growth or undermining the constitu-
ton by early breeding. For the dairy
cow should begin giving milk as early
in life as possible, and the habit of
persistent milking be thoroughly in
stilled in the animal. A heifer bred
to calve at IN or years of age will
be more difficult to handle, and con-
sequently not give down her milk so
readily, thus bringing about a ten
dency to shorten the milking period
when all efforts should be in the line
Of long period Of lactation. Breed
the heifers young, IA to Is months,
except, possibly, in special cases.

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON FEED
Cows Must Be Given Both Protein
and Carbonaceous Rations In
Order to Do Well.

Success in milk and butter dairying
depends largely on the feed of the
cow in properly balanced rations.
Cows must have both protein and
carbonaceous foods to do well, and
these can readily be selected in due
proportion.
The protein foods are alfalfa,
clover, cowpea hay, bran. cornmeal,
cottonseed meal and soy beans.
The carbonaceous foods are corn
and cornmeal, corn silage, timothy
hay, corn fodder, carrots, sugar beets
and other beets. A good balanced ra-
ton may be made of alfalfa or clover
hay, silage, corn or cornmeal.
These can be fed in balanced
quantity, and the dairyman will very
soon see the quantity required after
feeding a short time. Thirty-five to
forty pounds of corn per day, accord
ing to the size of the cow, are
enough.

FOUND HANGING ON
TREE HE PLANTED

PARIS, Sept. 27.-Gedeon Silvestre
was recently found hanging at
Chateau neuf-du-Rhone from an AGA
cha tree which he himself had planted
a few years ago.
S1lVestre was renowned practlcal
Joker, so that when he told a friend at
the time of the planting Of the tree
that his intention was to hang himself
upon it when he grew tired of life,
little attention was paid to the words.
Those who discovered the body of
the man were amazed to find that the
suicide had inscribed upon the trunk
of the tree: Il trained you to grow tall
and straight in your youthful days so
that you might support me in my lat
ter days"
Silvestre's will was worthy of the
sinister type of which characterized
him. He left 1925 to be equally divid.
ed between the carpenter who would
make his coffin, the gravedigger who
would dig a place for his last SLEEP"
and the members of a bowling club.
The condition attached to the last le-
gancy was that the bowlers should
play a championship game over the
testator's grave.
Another sum was left to number
of friends in order that they might re-
vel and enjoy feast around the cot
fin. Silvestre expressly stipulated that
at the conclusion of this celebration"
a farewell song should be sung by the
company.
All these bizarre wishes were full
filled.
