more WHEAT Prizes
'Honors for Western Canada
Come Year After Year. !.

hon at Peoria, H., in keen contest
for the covetede first prize for wheat,
Western Canada has again carried on
all the honors. Not only has she won
the first, but also the second and third
combe, Of Brittle, Manitoba. In past
years the Province Of Saskatchewan
had the distinguished honor Of carry
ing OF the initial prize.
Harvesting and threshing are now
completed in Western Canada, and
while 1t Is early in the season to give
exact figures as to the average yield
per acre Of wheat. oats, barley and
fiax It is safe to assume that the for
mer will yield about 20 bushels per
acre. The price to the farmer will be
about $500 per bushel, giving him
$4,000 an acre Of a return. When 1t is
considered that the land upon which
this wheat is grown averaged less than
$50 an acre, 1t takes very little fgur-
ing to arrive at an estimate Of the
profit there Is to the grain grower Of
Western Canada. The writer knows
where farmer purchased 100 acres
Of land in the spring Of 1915, broke It
up the same year, put It In wheat in
1917. His crop was harvested a few
days ago. It yielded 800 bushels and
he sold It at $2.05 per bushel, giving
him $3.50. The land cost him $4,SOO.
breaking, seeding, seed, cutting and
threshing, $1.920. His profit was
1920 after paying for his land and
his costs Of improving. He has now
1920 to commence another season
with paid for in full" improved
farm.
Never has farming offered such prof
liable returns for labor as at present
and nowhere Ia the large profit equal
to that Of the low priced. high yielding
lands Of Western Canada,
There has been big rush during
the past few weeks Of renters and
owners Of high priced lands in many
parts Of the United States to investi-
gate these 1905 profit reports. No
better season Of the year. could be
selected by anyone desiring to better
their condition and wishing to give
Western. Canada the "once over"
Threading is now completed and the
grain being marketed. The weather is
fine and will be pleasant for couple
Of months. and a visit now to person
ally investigate the conditions will be
convincing and profitable. While old
home ties and family associations are
one Of the nrst condderahons In the
mind Of the reader, whe feels that
!, the old i've or ten per cent return 10
sufficient, It behooves the modern ana
progressive farmer always to be on
the alert to grasp the opportunities Of
the hour. Land in Western Canada
that is annually producing a gross re-
turn Of from $4,000 to 5000 per acre
is purchasable at from $1b to $50 per
acre. It can be seen at a glance that
such values cannot help but Increase
as they have done In the older agricul-
tural districts Of the United States.
The new settler win ind himself sur
rounded by same contented and pros
porous neishbors. The expense Of max
ing one visit to look Into Western Can
ada's opportunities Is small-a special
reduced rate IL available and~you owe
yourself holiday and a trip may do
you good. You owe your dependents
right to better your condition and
Western Canada offers that opportu-

Caring For the Lawn
 During Hot Weather

Maintenance of an attractive blue grass lawn necessitates the devotion Of considerable time to It's care, points out NJ. F. Ahearn, professor of land scape gardening in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
 The lawn should be cut every ten days to two weeks, and 1t is advisable to set the knives of the mower as high AS possible to avoid inJuring the young, succulent cells near the roots by per hitting the suns rays to burn out the roots. It may be necessary to weed the lawn once or twice provided 1t has been seeded In the spring.
 During July and August the lawn viii require closer attention than at any other time. Where shade IS not abundant 1t will be necessary to rri- gate and perhaps do some hand weed ing Maintaining vigorous growth or grass early in the season will help to cerrv 1t through this trying period. It would also be of great help If no cut ting were done from the last of July to the middle of September. For the small lawn the price of a good stand or orass is constant attention and good Cara

CANNED EGGS


 Eggs should be preserved during March. April, May and June, when the production Is greatest and the price Is lowest. Eggs preserved in water glass can be successfully kept for as long time as one year. They are practically as good as fresh eggs for all cooking purposes. The commercial water glass solution may be obtained from any drug store. Water glass in the form or a powder Is now on the market. It can be dissolved in a definite quantity of water. as stated h the directions on the package. and for this reason IS more reliable than the store kind.
 If the commercial water glass solu- ton Is to be used mix one and one half quarts with eighteen quarts Of pure water; water that has been boiled Is preferable. Stir the mixture until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. A stone jar is the most suitable vessel for the mixture. Two eight gallon jars are sufficient for thirty dozen eGSn, using the amount of solution just pre- scribed. After the water glass Is thor oughly mixed pour It into the vessels to be used. being sure that the vessels are absolutely clean. Place the eggs in the water glass. see that those at the top are submerged under at least two Inches of the liquid and cover the Jars in order to prevent evaporation. Put the Jars in a cool place where they will be undlsturbed during the year.
 Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs; stnle eggs will not keep in any presery- ative. Have your preseryative ready to receive the fresh eggs as you get them. If there Is any doubt as to the fresh ness of the eggs candle them, or see whether they sink when placed In dish of fresh water. If an egg sinks 1t Is reasonably fresh.
 Do not preserve dirty cgEs or eggs that have been washed. Washed eggs will not keep because the protective Eelatlnous coating has been removed by the washing, and dirty eggs will be- come tainted in flavor.
 Do not use the same liquid preserya- tive more than a year.
 Use spring eggs, they will keep better than summer or fall eggs.
 Use infeCtile eggs rather than fertile eggs for preserving.
 Rinse the eggs with water after re- moving them from the preservative.
 Eggs that are in good condition when removed from the water glass solution will usually remain good for at least two weeks.
 If it Is desired to boil eggs preserved h water glass prick a small hole through the large end of the shell be fore placing them in the water. The pores of the shell have been sealed by the water glass solution and without the pInhole the expanding air within the shell would burst l.
