THOUSANDS OF
AVAILABLE HOMESTEADS
Western Canada's Homestead
Area Being Increased.

The great rush for homesteads
whenever a reservation is opened by
the U. s. government reveals the fact
part Of the American people to get
land. The fact that tens of thousands
are on hand at every opening, and on
ly few hundred homesteads are
available shows that the avail
able agricultural lands which are
in the gift of the government are rap
idly diminishing. In addition to this
agricultural lands that are of proved
value have advanced In price to such
an extent that it becomes a serious
question to the man with moderate
means who intends to go into farming,
where he shall go. Fortunately there
is yet to be had in Western Canada,
either in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta, thousands of free homesteads
of 160 acres each, which may be had,
by the simple process Of filing, paying
ten dollar entrance fee, and living on
1t for six months each year for three
years. There is no necessity to make
a long, tedious and expensive journey,
only to find you have one chance in
fifty of getting what you want. Al
though this demonstrating has been
going on in Canada for number of
years, and hundreds of thousands of
them have been taken by hundreds of
thousands of Americans, there re-
mains sufficient to last for some time,
and of as good land as any that has
yet been taken up. In fact, in the
opinion of very many, those that are
lett are Of the best. They comprise
lands that give the opportunity to in
dulge in the growing of grain, wheth-
er it be wheat, oats, barley or fax,
but in addition these lands are admir-
ably adapted for mixed farming, q
class of farming that is certain to give
better returns than that OF all grain
growing. Cattle thrive and fatten on
the nutritious grasses; dairying can
be carried on successfully; timber for
building is within reach, and water is
easy to get. These lands are located
in the park districts of any of the
three provinces; groves of trees in
tersperse the landscape and give it a
beauty that can only be attained in
the more open prairie sections by the
planting of trees. Tree culture by the
way is being carried on to great ex-
tent. Besides these free grant lands
there are lsads which may be had by
purchasing from railways and private
companies and individuals. These
lands have not increased in price as
their productive qualities and their To-
cation might have warranted, and may
still be had at reasonably low prices
and on easy terms. The crop in West
ern Canada in 1913 was one. of the
best of the number of good crops that
that country has raised. Wheat has
been reported with yields of from 30
to As bushels per acre, and other grain
with like heavy yields.-Advertise-

IA provided, and the stable may b.
shut off from the rest of the barn for
greater warmth in the winter The
stable should be tightly ceiled over
head, and to avoid dust in the stable
the fodder may be thrown down in
the space between granary and box
stalls. The silo may be placed on
either end. Windows enough to flood
the stable with light should be pro-
feet from the floor, of single sash
hinged at the bottom to swing in
ward few inches for ventilation, the
side opening thus made being closed
by V-shaped hopper side"
The following standard dimensions
are given to aid in planning a stable
interior: Stable should be from eight
to nine feet high, passageway be-
tween cutters from eight to nine feet
In width, cutters about sixteen inches
wide and eight inches deep in front,
six inches deep on side toward drive
way, COW platforms from four to five
feet in depth, according to size Of
cows, which should line up with their
hind feet close to gutter. lateral
space for each COW from three to
four feet. hunks 10 inches wide at top,
and feed alleys about five feet in
width. Box stalls for COWS should be
about Sx10 feet, and about four square
feet of window sash should be provid-
ed for each 1000 pounds live weight
Of stock to be sheltered. The King
system of ventilation Is the best for
stable, and when the latter is well
built, is easily installed. Floors should
be Of concrete, with standing plat
forms Of wood, IL desired. Walls
may be built Of any material desired,
so that they are tight. Double walls
with air space between are not need
ed, unless in the extreme northern
part Of this country.

AS Rudolph Van Vechten entered
the outer doorway of his club. the
handsome mission clock In the hall
was Ginning the three-quarter hour
after eight.
The young mans thin, sensitive lips
assumed rueful curve and his brow
gathered In a scowl.
Fifteen minutes yet until nine," he
muttered In a tone Of complaint, star
Ing hard at the dial Whatever
shall do until night the gods alone
know. Plague on such rotten luck!V
And having thus given audible ex-
preston Of his feelings, he dismissed
the temporary irritation with re-
signed shrug and sauntered listlessly
into the luxurious but deserted loung-
fng-room overlooking the street, where
he dropped heavily into a huge. bill
lowy leather chair which stood facing
one OF the windows. He Immediately
discovered that the chair was insuffer-
ably hot, and bounding to his feet,
.glared round for an attendant.
None was to be seen; 30 he showed

heavy to kick-and jerked q cooler
and more inviting willow one into its
place, wherein he once more seated
himself
Somebody ought to kick me for
having come here" he feelingly re-
marked. Then he turned again to his
incipient contemplation of the hot
empty street.
Van Vechten might have told you.
If he had paused to analyze his feel
ings respecting the Powhatan. that his
attachment to his club was based upon
some sort of sentiment. His slender,
modishly attired figure, and his finely
chiseled, high-bred features (Which
were much paler than they should
have been) were by no means strange
to their present rich and elegant sur
roundings. In point OF fact, no mem
Der of the Powhatan more assiduously
awaited himself of the clubs exclusive
privileges than did he. Among the
small coterie of his intimates and
friends, and the much longer list Of
ccquaintances who would have liked
to share the closer relationship, no.

PRACTICAL DAIRY BARN PLAN
General instructions Given for Con

The Rural New Yorker In response
to query for plan for a barn to
accommodate is cows makes the fol
lowing reply:
The accompanying floor plan of a
barn 34x50 feet, and 20 feet high from
sill to plate, with gambrel roof, would
suit the writer II he wished one to
house Is cows and have sufficient
extra space for needed box stalls and
granary. This barn should have a
door In each end beneath the gable

foot passage-way extends through the

Tickle the cows palate and in
crease her production.
The good dairy farmer is the man
who appreciates good roads.
Every dairyman ought to have
good soldering kit and know how to
use 1t.
There Is something wrong with the
dairy COW offered for sale cheap these
days.
The best dairy cows will give tho
best returns II handled quietly and
treated gently.
The scales will tell both with
milk and butter whether a COW is
kept at profit or not.
We must not be slow to recognize
the fact that the best herds are not
gotten together by purchase
Pure afr keeps the stables free from
disease germs and other bacteria
that always eat up the profits.
The capacity OF the farm may be
increased by building up the silo SO
as to make each acre yield more.
The dairy farmer should know what
his milk costs him. This is Just as
important as knowing what II brings.
