In 1882 an unknown soldier of fortune filled the

than 100 ostriches. Now, these gigantic birds
weigh as much as 200 and 300 pounds even more
They are accustomed to sunlight, the open range
and, above all, fresh air. But here they WERE

William Hagan has an immense fur plant down
along the shores of the Delaware-he raises musk
rats and makes money at 1t. During the season of
19l4-15 Mr.. Hagan realized more than 1900 clear
profit on his immense farm, which extends over
an acre of 614 acres. But muskrat farming is
very strenuous business In the first place, the
farmer must wait until fall before the real farm

their best The animals are caught-the greater
part OF them-by means Of stake traps; that is
traps attached to stakes. The stakes also serve
as guide. Then too, the trappers take with
them needle-pointed raper used to spear any
stray rat which may attempt to fleet at the first
warning of danger to him or his. And those hip
booted trappers can spear rat with all the deft-
ness of William Tell shooting an APPLE

farming; but unless you've got the constitution of

Joseph Matlack Of Moorestown. N. j.. owns
what is perhaps the largest gunea-pig farm in the
world. This much is uncontradictable. He raises
more of them than any grower in America, and
makes money where others fail. Now, that's some
thing to be proud of. Any man can be farmer;
but to be a successful farmer-well, that's some
thing different OF course. there are other guinea

its feas; but the United States has the Queerest
farms in the world.
At Pasadena, CAL, Edwin Cawston operates
what is perhaps the largest ostrich farm In the
world. OF course, 1t isn't everyone who would
care to keep ostriches. But Mr.. Cawston doesn't
mind it bit, for he controls great part of the
ostrich-plume supply Of the world If you have
ever purchased an ostrich plume of the first grade
you may have faint inkling as to how much
money can be made from an ostrich farm, If you
know how. Once Pennsylvanians got the fever
and started an ostrich farm up near Sunbury. but
the poor, unoffendng birds refused to become &C.
climated; said they were not snowbrds, or some
thing to that effect. Be that as it may, Cawstons
ostrich farm remains today the greatest in the
world.
At Victoria, in Mexico, there Is parrot ranch.
And some distance beyond Los Angeles, CAL,
there is an immense pigeon farm. There one will
find nearly $1,000 pigeons. And almost everybody
knows that there is money in pigeons; indeed,
where is the schoolboy who hasn't kept few at
one time or another? Also, in Colorado there is
a bear farm. And somewhere up in Canada is a
man who is making money by rearing wolves;
the skins bring handsome prices.

said that between 1890 and 1900 more than 3,OOO,-

there was ample reason for this wholesale butch

in depicting the farmers herds of cattle. Even
the doce COW was not immune. Naturally, maxi

CANADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LAB0RERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon 1t for food
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throes
OF labor famine. A novel means of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government ut Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when 1t was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
l6O acres free as a homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
Tor, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-

there Is u shortage of over thirty thou
sand men. necessary to produce an av-

been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to go to war, and
1t is essential to make un unprecedent-
ed offer Of this kind, to fill their places
on the land ut once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
mcnt has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official Of the Canada
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-

In the roof OF the barn and blown to the winds.
One man In Oklahoma's Panhandle last year.
a.ter ne had Duiit or dug pit silo at total cost
of $1O proved that Russian thistles can be con.
verified into fair stock feed. This man was Albert
Stone, who lives near Guymon When his Is by
II silo was finished, with 50 shed over it, he
found he was short of feed, and filled it with
thistles, broomcorn, kaf1r and milo. The thistles
were cut too late to make good feed, but in the
fermenting process the thOrns were softened and
the cattle ate them readily. There was not
enough from his 30 to fill the small silo but
Mr.. Stone found that the results were sufficient
to repay him. All winter he fed mich COWS,
IL horses, 6 calves and several hogs, feeding them
nothing but the sllage 1t lasted for three months.
AS dry feed 1t would have been gone in three
weeks. That pit silo was the only source of reve-
nue. on the farm for the year, and the milk kept
the family in groceries and other necessities.
Experiments covering Il period of three years,
made at the Kansas Agricultural college, have
proved that silage from corn, from kafir and from
sorghum have equal feeding value, ton for ton for
both beef cattle and dairy COWS, when each va
riety is placed in the sio at the proper time This
proper time for corn is when the kernels are be-
ginning to dent for kafir and sorghum when the
seeds have grown so hard they cannot be crushed
between thumb and fOrefnger, and while the
stalks and leaves are still green. These tests
have proved that the practice in the past has
been to cut kaf1r and sorghum too green to get
the full feed value in the silage
These tests will have very important bearing
upon farming in the semiarid districts. The best
silage crop will be where the rainfall is
ample k,.fir where the rainfall is moderate and
sorghum where 1t is light. Sorghum is practically
cure CROP where 1t Is we'll cultivated, in the
driest years in western Kansas and Oklahoma. the
Panhandle of Texas, and in eastern New Mexico
and in Colorado.
Every farmer in the Southwest, it is said, needs
silo badly as he needs anything; it is further
said that not two men in ten are able to build an
above-ground slO because of the expense. The
pit silo, costing only one-tenth much, and
capable Of being built by the farmer himself, is
expected to solve this problem until farmers are
able to purchase the more expensive and better
above-ground silos of woods, tile, concrete or
metal.
