FEW CAUSES FOR POOR GRAIN
Fungi and Bacteria in Seed and Soil
lnjure and Destroy Roots of Plant,
Says an Expert

The introduction of harmful fungi
and bacteria into the soil is an i'm
portant cause Of deterioration of
grains after continued cropping, de-
clared H. Bolley, professor Of bot
any, North Dakota Agricultural col
lege, in a recent address at the Col.
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. Professor BolIey is
one of the most eminent plant path
ologists in the country, his early
studies on the potato scab and fax
wilt, and his later investigations of
the diseases of cereals having made
him widely known among scientists.
He believes that fungi and bacteria
resident in the seed, and in the soil,
injure and destroy the roots of plants
and otherwise affect succeeding crops
The remedy for this is not primarily
fertilization, nor a naturalization of
soil toxins, but the combating of
fungi and bacteria and by means of
sanitary measures such as seed Sc
lection and disinfection, and crop ro-
tatiOn.

at the warmth and growth of hardy

er in Green's Fruit Grower.
The hotbed is more often construct
ed on the farm than the cold frame.
When living on the farm 1 was deeply
interested in the hotbed. 1t was a
pleasure to see the seeds sprout and
grow vigorously when everything out
side was seemingly cold and dead.
There is no secret or difficulty in
establishing a successful hotbed on the
farm. All that is needed is an ample
supply of fresh horse manure, which
can be stacked to a depth Of two or
three feet after having been thorough

WESTERN CANADA
CAME INTO EVIDENCE
AT THE CRUCIAL PERIOD FOR
SUPPLY OF WORLDS FOOD
STUFFS.

The present demand for foodstuffs
In all parts of the world, and the ex-
pense of producing it on high-priced
lands, would make it seem that west
ern Canada came into evidence at the
crucial period There is to be found
the opportunity that will be a large
factor in meeting this demand. With
its millions of acres of land, easily
cultivatable, highly productive, Access
sible to railways, and with unexcelled
climatic conditions, the opportunities
that are offered and afforded are too
great to be overlooked.
There have been booms in almost
every civilized country and they were
looked upon as such, and in the course
Of time the bubble was pricked and
was burst. But in no country has the
development been as great nor as
rapid, whether in city Or in country,
as in western Canada.
The provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta have the larg-
est area of desirable lands on the
North American continent, and their
cultivation has just begun.
Even with a two hundred million
bushel wheat crop, less than eight
per cent. OF the land is under the
ploughs, four per cent. being in wheat.
Less than five years ago the wheat
crop was only 100000 bushels. 1t
is a simple calculation to estimate
I,o% Of iloh %
cultivatable area produces something
over 200,000,000 bushels, what will A
per cent produce? And then look at
the immigration that is coming into
the country. In 1901 it was 40, 149,
1900 being from the United States;
in 1906 it was 1906 of which $1,000
were Americans, and in 1913 it was
about 100000, of which about 100000
were Americans. But why have they
gone to Canada? The American farm
er is man of shrewd business in
stincts, just like his Canadian brother,
and when he finds that he can sell his
own farm at from 500 to $500 per
acre and move into Canada and home
stead and pre-empt half section for
himself, and similarly for all his sons
who are adult and Of age upon lands
as rich and fertile as those he left,
and producing indeed several bushels
to the acre in excess of anything he
has ever known, it will take more
than an ordinary effort to prevent him
from making the change.
And then, too, there is the American
capital following the capital of Drawn,
muscle and stnew, following it so as
to keep in touch with the industrious
farmer with which it has had dealings
for years back. This capital and the
capital of farming experience is no
small matter in the building up Of a
country.
Nothing is said Of the great mineral
and forest wealth, of which but little
has been touched.
No country in the worlds history
has attracted to its borders a larger
number Of settlers in so short time,
or has attracted so much wealth in a
period of equal length, as have the
Canadian prairies. Never before has
pioneering been accomplished under
conditions SO favorable as those that
exist in western Canada today.-Ad-
vertisement.

Early Cabbage.

Early cabbage is usually profitable.
The first heads should be ready for
marketing not later than the first Of
July. This means that the plants
must be started in hotbeds or green
houses and then transplanted to cold
frames. Strong, stalky plants set in
the open ground as soon as weather
conditions will permit will produce
marketable heads by the first Of July.
If a good strain of Jersey Wakefield
some other early variety is select
ed all of the heads should be sold bs
fore the first of August

Cold Frame.

tomless box is placed and on top of
this box or frame are placed the sash
and glass. All should be close fitted
to prevent the entrance of cold air and
frost.
The surface of the manure is cover
ed with good rich garden soil to the
depth of four or five inches. The ma
nure will begin to heat within week
after the bed is completed. The seed
SHOULD not be sown for several days
after the bed is finished. If very cold
weather ensues after plants have come
up it may be necessary to cover the
glass on very cold nights with blankets
or mating. 1t may be necessary to
shade the plants on the brightest sun
niest days at midday when the air in
the hotbed may become too hot. Do
not give the bed too much water,
which is worse than too little. Plants
usually started in the farmers hotbed
are lettuce, radish, tomato, cucumber,
melon, eggplant and cabbage.

FRESH MANURE is VALUABLE
1t Is Possible Under the Best Sys.
TENS of Management to Prevent
All Loss Of ingredients.

Manure is never so valuable as
when perfectly fresh, for it is i'm
possible under the best system of
management to prevent a loss of it's
fertilizing ingredients. For this rea-
son, whenever possible it should be
hauled directly to the field and spread.
This saves time and labor and in
wolves handling but once. When it's
impossible to remove the manure at
once to the field, it must be properly
stored. A Iean-to shed is all that is
needed This should have a water

Green Bone Freshly Cut Just Before
Feeding Is Quite BeneficiaI-Judg-
ment Must Be Used.

Meat in some form must be fed to
poultry. They must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain a
sufficient supply Of animal matter, but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food in another form. Finely
chopped fresh meat is an excellent
bone and muscle builder for the young
stock, but should not be fed more
often than two or three times a week.
Green bone freshly cut just before
feeding, is equally as beneficial, but
also be fed with judgment as to how
much and how often. Meat foods as
sist feather, bone, muscle and comb

Windows in PouItry-House.

Put the windows in the poultry
house low down to the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit of the
light and sunshine when scratching
for their feed. The trouble with win
dows set high up is that they let the
sunshine in on the perches when the
hens are on the floor scratching and
when they are on the roost the sun
doesn't shine, SO there is no equili-
brium in such plans.

WlNTERING THE LIVE STOCK
Profits Are Greatly Reduced by Cling
Ing to Old Cows and Sheep Long
Past Their Usefulness.

The keeping of old cows and sheep
long past their usefulness will largely
reduce the profits of the dairyman and
farmer. The better method would be
TO have them served, give shelter and
feed and when fresh sell the COW with
the calf. They may be cheaply win
tered on fodder, wheat. straw and Sec
ond-cTop clover hay. Old sheep should
have been sold in the early fall for
what they will bring 1t seldom pays
TO winter them. Before the cows come
fresh they should be given a little
grain, say four quarts of wheat bran
and one quart Of faxseed meal well
mixed together. Divide into two equal
parts; give one part in the morning
and the other half in the evening to
each one. This iced will loosen the
hide and greatly improve the appear
ance of the stock. Card and brush
them off every morning. This will re-
move the loose hair. The buying of
thin cows and milked-out COWS from
dairymen who cannot afford to winter
such stock, is found to be profta BILE
