T UTLAND, the l0w-lyfng, sandy
peninsula whose name hiStOrl-
ans probably will employ to des-
ignate the great naval battle
fought off it's shores by the British and
Germans, is the continental portion OF
Denmark and comprises nearly two
thirds the area of the kingdom (exclu-
sive of colonial pOSsessiOnS), but with
considerably less than half the total
population. It compares with Vermont
in size, but has density Of population
three times as great says bulletin OF
the National Geographic society. It's
most striking physical characteristics
are the fjOrds which cut into the sandy
seabOard, particularly on the west
coast OF these the largest, LlmfjOrd,
is today a misnomer for since 1922 it
has been a sound, joining the waters of
the North sea with the Kattegat and
making an island of the extreme north
ern portion of the peninsula which ter
inmates in a cape called the Skaw.
Owing to the character of the soil on
both banks, the rapidity of the current
and the violent impact of the floating
ice in the spring. only a pontoon bridge
spanned this sound at Aalborg until
recently.

Ancient Home of the Cimbri.
Jutland was the ancient home Of the
warlike Cimbri, a tribe which for II
years kept Rome in state of panic,
and which was the first Germanic host
to make It's way across the barrier Of
the Alps into northern Italy, antici-
patlng the descent of the VisigOths by
five centuries. The Cimbri came with
81 the purv1ew of recorded history in
113 3. c., when, after having been
driven from their northern home, sup
pOsedly by North sea foundations, and
having made their way southwark
through the German forests, they in
flicted a signal defeat upon Roman
army under Consul Papirius Carlo at
Noreia. Instead of following up their
success into Italy, the victOrs pushed
westward into the Rhine valley. -Four
years later, however, they practically

contradictions, but quite consistent in
view of the fact that the culture of the
Orient and Occident have proceeded
along somewhat different lines. Fee
is a stronghold Of Islam and a fair
specimen of what the culture produces.
There is much poverty, much oppres-
sion, much disease; there is also much
charity, justice that is sometimes dis
concertingly swift and an atmosphere
that can only be described as one of
resigned cheerfulness. Commerce is
conducted on a ludicrOusly diminutive
scale, but the total of months trad
ing in a six by ten emporium often
mounts into staggering figures. Slaves
are still to be had by those who know
where to buy, and religious feeling
runs so high that several Europeans
have been killed for polluting the sa-
cred atmosphere Of mosques with their
presence. Popular ignorance often
reaches to the point where the indiyfd-
ual in question is not cOgniZant of the
existence of the American continent
and in the library of Fee are numerous
absolutely priceless treasures in the
shape of ancient tones of learning
Certain books of Euclid, never seen by
European eyes, are said to be guarded
here.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CEREAL CROP
One of the Best Ever Harvested.

The cereal crop of Western Canada
for 1917 was the most valuable one
ever harvested; the returns from all
classes of live stock have been equally
satisfactory. The wool clip was not
only greater than in any previous year
but the price obtained was double that
Of 1916 which in turn was almost
double that Of the year before.
As was the case in 1915 and 1916
many farmers were able TO pay fol
their land outright with the proceeds
Of their first years crop. Further evi
eience of the prosperity Of Western
Canada is shown by the fact that one
In every twenty Of the population is
now the owner of an automobile. Il
the farming community alone is taken
it will be found that the proportion OF
automobile owners is still greater. The
bank clearings Of the leading cities OF
Western Canada were consistently
higher than they were in the CORE
spending periods Of 1916, and then they
were higher than the year preceding
In Winnipeg $500,OO0,00O more was
cleared in the IL months ending No.
gember 80 than in the same months q
year ago.
The entry Of the United States into
Tie war has strengthened the bonds
between that country and Canada. We
gre now working together for the
Same ends. Those who are not fighting
are promoting q greater production Of
foOdstuffs. Tn this connection Western
Canada offers q wonderful OppOrtu-
nify. Not only can larger quantities
Of staple foodstuffs be produced, but
the cost of production is lower and the
remuneration greater than where land
Is more expensive. Notwithstanding
the fact that the price of farm prod
ucts has doubled during the past three
years, there are millions of acres of
arabic land in Western Canada which
can still be bought at low price.
Western Canada has an enormous
acreage prepared for seeding to wheat
in 1913. 1t is larger than in 1917, and
will probably surpass the record area
put into crop in the year 1915, when
the largest crop ever known in the
West was harvested The year 1918
should also see a further increase in
live stock activity.
Farmers have been investing consid-
crable sums in cattle; the high prices
secured for wool and mutton have
opened the eyes of Western farmers to
the possibilities of sheep. and such was
The demand for breeding animals last
fall that it was impossible to meet it
adequately; the campaign for greater
hog production is expected to yield an
Increase of between % and SO per cent
In 1913.
Those who are contemplating coming
20 Western Canada cannot do better
than come early in the spring when
they can put in a crop and harvest it
fn the fall. In this way they will be
able to achieve something that will
not only be of great benefit to them
selves but also to the great caNse for
which the Allies. including the United
States, are now fighting.-Adyertise

tor The time between the moment
is so long that unless some other pre-
seryative process than cooling is made
use of, q great many people would be
using sour milk during q considerable
portion of the time.
The milk distributor stands about
consumer in point of time. He is the
one who is in a position to use another
process that will make the milk keep
better, He can pasteurize it, or, in
other words, with machines that have
taken years to develop he can heat
every particle of the milk to a desired
temperature, 14J degrees Fahrenheit,
and keep it there for as long as is nee
eSsary to destroy such a proportion
of the bacteria as will give to the
milk the keeping quality the consumer
is entitled to have. If the consumer
were closer to the producer, in point OF
time, the pasteurization might be done
in the home. The milk distributor can
do the process much more efficiently
and cheaDly than can the consumer

The milk which the city home must
use is probably mixture of that pro-
duced on dozen, q hundred, or a
thousand farms, and so the chances of
getting milk containing the germs of
tuberculosis, of typhoid fever or of
septic sore throat are greatly in
creased. 1t would thus seem the part
of wisdom to so treat the milk COM
ing from many farms as to destroy
any disease-prOducing organisms that
it may contain if this can be done
without marked injury to the nutri-
tive value of the milk. It so happens
| that the process that is quite essential
in improving the keeping qualities Of
the milk, heating it to 145 degrees
Fahrenheit for 25 to 80 minutes, is suf-
ficient to completely destroy the dis

milk that will keep well and that is
free from harmful organisms. Many
of the milk distributors, can also sup
ply you with raw milk that has the de-
sirable keeping qualities and that is
as certain to be free from harmful
germs as man can produce without the
aid of heat. Such milk will, however,
cost much more than pasteurized milk,
for the additional precautions demand
ed to obtain the requisite keeping quail
ity and to insure the probable absence
OF the organisms of tuberculosis and
typhoid, involve much greater expense
than does pasteurization.

places in the bed
Planting Distances Vary.-The dis
lance apart for planting roses is regu-
lated somewhat by the varieties used
The strong growing kinds should be
set three feet apart. Hardy perennials
may be set two feet apart, while Tea
and Hybrid Tea roses are better if set
one foot and a half apart. When plant
ing strong and weak rose bushes in the
same bed take care to plant the strong
ones in the back and the weaker ones
in front
In planting budded or grated stock.
see that the graft or bud is two to
three inches from the surface Of the
soil.
Deep planting is one of the impor-
tant things in success with roses. AT.
ter digging a large enough hole. and
placing the plant in position, see that
the roots are well spread out and
not cramped. Now sprinkle fine soil
grains between the roots, and follow
this by f1rming the soil up close around
the plant. Pot-grown plants must be
handled with extra care, being care
full not to break the ball of earth or
disturb the roots after planting. Shade
pot-grown plants from the rays Of the
sun for the first few days, and give
plenty of water.
Thorough Pruning Is Good.-If dor
mant plants are set out in the spring,
they should be pruned at once. After
being placed at the right depth in the
soil, cut them down to within three to
four inches of the surface Of the
ground. If the plants are set out in
the fall they may be left until spring
before pruning. Prune Hard Perennial
Hybrid Tea roses to about two or
three "eyes" from the ground Take
all weak canes out, and cut the strong
ones to two or three "eyes." This
will keep the plants thrifty and attrac-
tive.
Summer Spraying Helpful-During
summer watering with liquid manure
quite frequently will do the plants
much good. Spraying with water now
and then will help to keep the insects
down. Be sure to supply the roses
with water regularly In summer, being
careful, of course, not to drench them
with water in the middle of the day.
This will harm thnTn
Insects Must Be Fought.-Among the
many insects which attack the rose
plants are the aphis, the cutworm, and
the red spider. The red spider is the
most annoying. A way to get rid of
red spiders is to spray with a strong
force of water, being careful to reach
the under side of the leaves, where the
spider works most. Red spiders attack
roses which are growing against a
wall and those exposed to the hot, dry
sun. Aphis or plant lice are often seen
in large numbers on roses. They can
be checked BY using "black leaf forty"
