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.. @. Lacy, late Of
Wisconsin and later Of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summe OF 1914 with
S1,500 available cash In his possession.
He rented a half-sectlOn Of partly Inn
proved land I'm Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He vas for
tunate In buying feed at a bargain and
managed 20 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:
"I 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 s1,500
worth Of improvements on my farm. /
have 81 head of cattle, 10 head Of
horses, debts all paid, a new automo-
bile, and n good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, I can cash in for
$4,000. 1 am well satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
I have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
"a to SO bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels Of wheat, all

Of oats, $40 bushels Of flax, 700 bush.

well, figure this out for yourself at the

mainder for $500. Also all the oats

cOrding to Alex. Waite, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con
tention that he has made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waite threshed 40 bush
els to the acre from q 30-acre crop
This sold for S1.60% per bushel, which
after deducting seed, labor, Irvine
threshlng and freight, left a clear prof
of $50 per acre, or q total of $1,000

SELECTION OF HENS
FOR BREEDING PENS
Pick Only Active, Vigorous Fowls,
Avoiding Use Of Thin, I'm
mature PuIIets.

Select mature hens, and not pullets,
for breeding purposes, advises F. E..
Fox, assistant in poultry husbandry
In the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
constitutional vigor should be the
first consideration in the selection Of
a hen," said Mr.. Fox. "The head
should be broad, wide and deep; the
eyes full, round and prominent; the
back short and stout; and the neck
of medium length.
individuals should be selected that
have well proportioned backs, broad at
the rear extremity. The birds should
have broad, deep breasts with long
keels, which should extend well to the
rear. The body should have plenty of
capacity to allow room for the diges-
tive and reproductive organs. Anoth-
er indication of vigor is the well-worn
or blunt toenail.
"Select only active, vigorous hens.
A good rule for this is the old saying,
the best hen is the first off the roost
in the morning and the last on in the
evening"" Avoid the use Of immature
pullets.

PLAN TO GET A GOOD STAND OF ALFALFA

grown on the farm for several years.
The inoculation is simple matter
and easily done. During the spring
or summer distribute from the rear end
Of a wagon 300 or 400 pounds per acre
Of sweet clover or alfalfa soil, secured
from a sweet clover or from a good
alfalfa field.
Drainage.-Alfalfa will not do well
in sour, wet, soggy ground. IF not nat
urally drained it should be tile-drained.
1. Cultivate.-Cultivate and culti-
vate both ways. Don't be afraid Of
hurting the alfalfa. There Is nothing
equal to a spring-tooth harrow for
cultivating alfalfa. 1t destroys the
weeds and especially blue grass which
is alfalfa's greatest enemy, and forms
mulch, keeping the ground from get
ting hard. Cultivate in the fall; cul-
tivate early in the spring; cultivate
after each cutting except after the first
cutting in the spring when you won't
have time. Begin cultivating the Sec
ond season after sowing.

PROFITS FROM FALL CALVES
Farmers Find 1t Most Profitable to
Have Cows Freshen in Autumn
Needs Less Feeding.

Because more milk would be pro-
duced in the year and calves would
be raised cheaper, farmers find it most
profitable to have their cows freshen
in the fall months.
The COW gives large flow Of milk
at the beginning Of the period Of lac
tation. In the spring the milk yield,
which gradually falls of, is suddenly
increased when the COW is turned on
fresh pasture.
Calves born in the fall need mainly
milk and eat little grain during the
period Of winter feeding. When spring
comes they are ready to be turned on
pasture. Spring calves consume milk
and grain during the cheap pasture
season and require the same high
priced feeds during the following win
ter, when they are older and thus eat
more. The fall-born calf at the same
age needs only pasture.
At the Ohio experiment station some
calves born in the fall were raised for
about SIS less than others born in the
spring. Under average farm condi-
tions this difference would be even
greater, as no grain would be fed to
fall-born calves on pasture, while
those at the station were given grain
because Of pasture shortage.

Old Looks
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation Is of the
simplest: Drink copiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful CT
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

PLAN TO RID SHEEP
OF ALL PARASITES
Drench of Copper SuIphate Has
Been Found Most Satisfactory
at Ohio Station.

Sheepmen having flocks infested
with stomach and tapeworms may free
the animals Of such pests by treatment
before turning out to spring pasture.
For this purpose a drench Of copper
sulphate has been found most satisfac-
tory in the flocks at the Ohio expert
ment station.
Two fluid ounces of a solution made
by dissolving an ounce of copper sui
phate (blue vitrioD in two quarts Of
water is sufficient for yearling, and a
two-year-old sheep needs three fluid
ounces. A long-necked bottle or rub
Der tube and funnel may be used to
give the dose. Most effective results
follow when the sheep are tasted for
day both before and after treatment.
Water should not be given for few
hours preceding and following the dos.
ing.
Digestive disturbances, poor appe-
tite, loss Of flesh and general weakness
indicate the presence Of worms.
Lambs are most seriously affected.
Kidding the sheep of worms in the
spring will result in fewer losses in
the lamb crop.

KEEP CORRECT MILK RECORDS
Note Production Of Each Individual
Cow and Save Heifer Calves
From Large Producers.

You cannot always buy good cows,
but another way to get a good herd
together is by keeping records Of the
production Of each individual cow in
your herd and saving the heifer calves
from the larger producers. These
calves being from a good registered
sire and from selected cows, it will
not take many years to build up a
first-class herd. You can only know
your best COWS by continuous weigh
ing and testing Of the milk, and keep
ing records of each individual, so that
some information may be secured as
to the cost of production, which is
growing more important as the prices
Of feed stuffs and labor advance.

GAMBIA is CALLED PARADISE
Smallest Colonial Possession of Great
Britain Declared in One Sense
Also the Richest.

An American tourist, recently re-
turned from a circuit Of the earth, is
loud in his praise Of little Gambia,
which enjoys the distinction Of being
the smallest and in sense the richest
of the colonial possessions of Great
Britain. "Many other African colo
nies," he says, according to the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, "are rich in gold, rich
in diamonds, in rubber and in copper,
but in comparison with little known
Gambia they are poor. Gambia in ex-
tent covers about 60 square miles. In
1901 the population was 1850, of
which only 1913 were white. Its popu-
lation now is less than that Of
Worcester, Mass. Compared with 9TH
er parts of equatorial Africa, it is q
paradise. 1t has good roads, an up-to-
date water system, with filtration
plant, water mains, hydrants along the
streets Of Bathurst, the capital OF the
colony; pipes in the houses and a
fountain in the city square.
'The exports of Gambia are wax,
hides. cotton, rice, palm oil and pea
nuts. 1t is the latter products that
has made Gambia rich. Of all the
African colonies or governments, Gam
bia alone owes not penny. The coun-
try and it's inhabitants are free from
debt. and there is upward Of $1,OOO,-
600 in the public treasury. The aver
age annual export of peanuts is about
10000 tons, or more than 1000 pounds
Of peanuts for every man, woman and
child in the colony. The money value
Of the peanuts exported is more than
S3,OOO,OOO annually, while the total OF
imports does not exceed $2,35O,OOO, so
that the country has an annual profit
on it's peanuts of $75O,OOO.
Life has few problems for the
Senegambians. They need few clothes,
and the fashions rarely change. The
great river from which the colony
takes its name yields abundance OF
fish, and the peanuts bring them more
money than they require for all their
needs. Every day is a holiday ex-
cept the time Of planting and gather
ing the crop"
