HIGH PRICES
GOOD CROPS
And Good Demand for All Farm
Products.

-
II IL no new experience for settlers
located in fertile country such a.
Western Canada, where lands may be
bought at very reasonable prices, to
harvest crop that in one season pays
the entire cost OF their farm. Undoubt-
edly this was the experience OF many
farmers during 1915. but one instance
may be quoted. A settler who came
to Canada from the United States
some years ago decided to add to his
holdings by buying an adjoining quar-
ter section near his home at Warner,
at $4,000 an aero. with terms spread
over period OF years. He got the
land into a good state OF cultivation
and last spring put the whole quarter
section in wheat. When the crop was
threshed he found that it only took
half the wheat on the farm to pay the
whole purchase price OF It.; in short
a single years crop paid the cost OF
the land, paid all the expenses of op-
Grafton and left him handsome sur
plus as profit. This settler had some
adjoining land, and his whole wheat
crop for the season amounted to
over $4,000 bushels. He is now plan.
ming to obtain some sheep and invest
his profits in live stock which will as
sure him good living irrespective Of
what the season may happen to be.
Canada's financial position is ex-
cellent. All speculation has been elm
mated, and trading is done on cash
basis, with restricted credit.
Detailed figures OF Canada's trade
for twelve months ending October 81
show how the war is forcing Canadian
trade into new channels. One of the
most extraordinary changes is in COM
merce with the United States. A
couple Of years ago Canada imported
from the United States two or three
hundred million dollars worth of
goods more than she exported. The
balance Of trade was all with the
United States. The balance is rapid
ly disappearing, and the present out
look is that by the end Of this year
Canada will have exported to the
United States more than she has i'm
ported.
The figures for the past four years
are Illuminating. They are as fol-
lows:
Exports. Imports.
1912 .......$145,721,650 $412,657, 7,022
1913 ........ 179,050,796 442,341, $40
1914 ........ 213,493,406 421,074,52S
1915 ........ 314.118,774 346,569, 1874
Four years ago, in 1912. the balance
OF trade in favor of the United
States was no less than two hundred
and sixty-seven millions, and this
year, the balance Is reduced to only
'thirty-two millions. The figures are
extraordinary and reflect the changed
and new conditions in Canada Il
looks as II for the first time in nearly
half century this year Canada will
sell more to the United States than
she will buy from the Americana

Cows Solve Many Problems.

The three largest problems in
American agriculture are-first,.
how to finance farm operations.
second, howto increase productions;
and third, how to market crops
efficiently and profitably.
Of all farmers the dairyman has
most nearly solved all three of
these problems. Bark ers loan
more freely and on more favorable
rates of interest and terms Of pay
mant to men who milk cows, because
it is well known and generally
accepted fact that the COW is the
best investme mt that can be made
by the farmer who is honest, intel
lieent and industrious. The COW
eats feed today, returns butter fat
tomorrow, and the next day her
owner may sell fer cash the product.
FIe can at once begin paying back,
slowly but surely, the money he
has been compelled to borrow.
For increasing production, the
opportunities possessed by the
dairyman are almost unlimited.
By using we'll bred sires, raising
his best heifer calves properly and
by feeding Mtelligently and caring
well for his cows, productivity of
his herd increases with every gen
Grafton. ~
Every day of, her life the cow
returns to-the farm all but min
ute percentage of the fertilizins
constituents of the food she eats,
thus conserving the richness Of the
soil and insuIing large crop pro
duction. t.-
Even more Admirably she solves
the problem Of marketing. She
eats a ton Of hay or its equivalen,
in hay and grain, worth in the raw
state from SIS to $25 ton on the
farm. She converts this into sp
proximately 1as pounds of butter
fat, worth $3.50 in any section at
the press Mt time, besides the skim
milk she leaves on the farm to lie
fed to the calves, pigs and chickens
The butter fat can usually he
marketed at home and to excellent
advantage. If it is necessary t.
ship it, the problem is .implified
because the ton or more of bulky
material, such as hay and grain,
has been reduced to the most Con-
centrated form possible

Worms Used In Medicine.

The earthworm, or the common
fishworm, was utilized by the
medical practitioners in Europe two
and three hundred years ago. The
worms were for internal administra-
ton, and sometimes made into an
ointment or embrocation for external
use.
