EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number Of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. G. Lacy, late OF
Wisconsin and later of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summer of 1914 with
1880 available cash in his possession.
He rented a half-section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate In buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
lie his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. J. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
81 landed In Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. 1 have put $500
worth of improvements on my farm. I
have 81 head of cattle, 16 head of
horses, debts all paid, new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices. I can cash In for
$4,000. 1 am well satisfied, and e1-
pect to double this next year.
/ have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat. all
No. 1 Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, $40 bushels of flax, 700 bush
els of barley-all at market prices
well, figure this out for yourself at the
market price. I sold 3,100 bushels Of
wheat at S1.74Z, am holding the re-
mainder for $500. Also all the oats,
barley and flax for higher prices"
Intelligent farming pays always &C.
cording to Alex. Waffle, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has ''made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 BUSH
els to the acre from q 30-acree crop
This sold for s1.60A per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, twine
threshing and freight, left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or total Of $1,000.
From last years crop Of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

100 Years Old,

"The kidneys play . most important
part in causing premature old age and
death-the more injurious the poisona
passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay'-so says . distinguished
physician, who further advises all people
who are past thirty to preserve the vitality
of the kidneys and free tho blood from
poisonous elements, such as uric acid
drink plenty Of water-sweat some daily
and take Anuric before meals.
This Anuric is put up in tablet
form, and can be obtained at almost
any drug store. For that backache,
lumbago, rheumatism, rusty" joints,
swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid
in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves
the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
Discovered by DR.. Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
Prevent premature old age BY simply
slipping cup of hot water every morning
before breakfast, taking little Anuric
before meals and live to be hundred.

By P. @. HOLDEN, Former Dean OF
Iowa State College.)
Alfalfa is comparatively new crop
In the United States, but is destined
to come rapidly into general use. There
are few farmers whose profits would
not be increased greatly by raising al
falfa. Every farmer should aim to
produce, as far as possible, all his
foodstuffs upon his own farm.
During the last few years, the area
devoted to alfalfa has greatly in
creased in the region west of the Mis-
souri, river, and it is certain that there
will be an equally rapid increase
throughout the eastern part Of the
United States.
Many of the attempts in the past to
grow alfalfa in the humid regions have
failed, but with our present knowl-
edge of the requirements of the crop,
there will be little, if any, more trou-
BILE In securing a stand of alfalfa than
of clover. However, the methods fol-
lowed in securing a catch Of clover
will almost certainly fail with alfalfa.
Do not be hasty in concluding your
stand is poor. 1t frequently shows up
to better advantage the second year.
In case the stand is not satisfactory,
1t is generally better to use the same
ground for second trial than to take
new field.
Increases Land Values.
The land values in those portions of
the United States where both corn and
alfalfa are grown will always be high
crunch higher-than in those re-
gions where only one of these crops

YES! MAGICALLY!
C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender.
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantiy, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted OF with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without Irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adv.
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1917-02-23

can be grown to advantage. Twenty
years from now everyone will wonder
how to get along without alfalfa and
why we did not recognize its great
value sooner. That alfalfa can be and
will be grown successfully throughout
the humid regions in the future there
is no longer any doubt.
There is no combination of feeds so
economical for the production Of beef,
pork, butter, and eggs, and for grow
ing animals, as corn and alfalfa. Meth
er will give the best results alone.
We need alfalfa because it balances
up the corn ration and saves the large
waste of starch which always takes
place where corn is fed alone. We
need alfalfa because we can in this
way grow on our own farms the pro-
tein more profitably than we can buy
it in feedstuffs. We need alfalfa be-
cause it feeds the soil and enables us
to grow larger crops of corn and oats.
We need alfalfa because it produces
on an average double the feed value
per acre Of clover or any other forage
crop.
Poor Weed Fighter.
Alfalfa, when small, grows slowly,
and is not good fighter, /. e., cannot
compete with weeds and especially
with. crab grass, foxtail, and other
weeds during the dry weather of July
and August. When sown in the spring
without a nurse crop, there is con-
slant struggle with the weeds during
the entire season, and the weeds gen.
orally come out best, leaving a poor
patchy stand of alfalfa.
