1.-THE loss resulting from feeding in
ferior cattle has been well demon
strated experimentally at the Kansas
station" said Doctor McCampbell. 'sIn
this experiment, well bred-but not
purebred-cattle OF desirable beef
type were compared with cattle the
same age and somewhat larger, yet
not of the type most desirable for con-
verting feed into beef.
1.-THE good beef type-quality cattle
made a daily gain Of 2-22 pounds
while the undesirable type, although
receiving the same amount Of feed,
made a gain Of only 1!T6 pounds daily.
The gain on the good type cattle cost
$S.15 a 100 pounds while the gain on
the coarser cattle cost S1025 a 100
pounds. This experiment demonstrates
that one OF the essentials in making
beef is the selection Of the right kind
OF feeders.
"a good feeder must be close to the
ground, have q short, broad head
with strong muzzle. a wide. straight
top, a wide, deep chest. a capacious
middle, a deep flank, deep. full quar-
tiers, and withal, plenty OF substance
and lots Of quality"

QUALITY OF WHEAT
CAN BE. CONTROLLED
Bulletin of Colorado Experiment
Station Tells Cause of yell
low Berry and Remedy.

By C. P. GILLETTE. Colorado Agricul-
turaI College, Fort CoIlins.)
Millers prefer wheat that is hard
ana finty, to a wheat that is made
up of kernels that are white and
starchy in croSs-section. Kernels of
the latter type are softer and more
easily crushed and are spoken of as
soft wheat" A considerable reduc-
ton in price is often made when this
"sOft" wheat is offered for sale.
DR.. w. P. Headden Of the Colorado
agricultural experiment station, has
succeeded in determining the cause
of this trouble and also the remedy.
which every farmer can supply. He
tells all about it in Bulletin 205 of
the experiment station which will be
sent free to any farmer who Will write
for it
In brief, the cause of ''yellow-berry'
is a high percentage Of potash in the
soil in proportion to the available
nitrogen. The remedy is to keep the
nitrogen content OF the soil as high
as possible without increasing the
potash. This may be done by the adj
dition OF nitrates, the rotation of
crops in which alfalfa or some other
Iegume is used, and by proper dllage.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM THE CANADIAN

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.. Q. Lacy. late Of
Wisconsin and later OF Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin In the summer OF 1914 with
1900 available cash In his possession
He rented q half-section OF partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 800 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 260 with
wheat. Also he had two COWS snd 20
head Of young live stock He was fer
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 70

DRAGGING ROADS IN SPRING
Operations Should Begin Just as Soon
as the Frost Starts to Come
Out OF the Ground.

Nothing adds more immediate value
20 our farm land than accessibility TO
markets. such connecting link between
the farm and market being a good
road The early dragging OF our dirt
roads is certainly to be commended
Just as soon as the frost begins TO
come out of the ground, the farmer
should commence dragging.
This is not a laborious job, a good
team can put the road between him
and the first crossing toward town,
even if half a mile away, in good con-
ditiOn in half day, and he will save
many times the cost of such labor or
expense during the year. Besides the
additional value it adds TO the farm,
there is that personal pride that we all
owe to every community, and especial
~ to ourselves.
