pean war and the consequent depletion
Of the European supply Of cattle, the
task Of meeting the increasing de.
mands for beef and beef products, to
a large extent, has been put upon the
people Of the United States.
The exports of dressed beef and beef
products have increased 1T per cent
during the last three years. The short.
age of beef abroad, like the shortage
of other meat products, doubtless will
be accentuated as the war progresses.
Beef production can be increased in
the settled farm areas of the nation,
and especially in the South. 1t can be
increased everywhere by preventing
the loss of flesh by calves during their
first winter and keeping calves grow
ing during this period 80 that beef ami
mails may be marketed at earlier ages,
thereby requiring the maintenance of
fewer stocker cattle and making pos
sible the maintenance of larger breed
ing herds; by using a larger proper
tiOn of bulls on the range to insure
larger calf crops; by using good bulls
only; by reducing the tick-infested
areas as rapidly as possible; by elimi-
mating as far as possible the losses
from disease and predatory animals;
by transferring animals from regions
Of scarcity of feed to those where
there is an abundance Of feed; by pro.
viding more ample supply of winter
feed and better shelter, and by utiliz-
ing all roughage produced either as
fodder, hay, or silage, and supplement-
ing these feeds with more nitrogenous
concentrates and less grain.

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
viii Prove a Big Factor In Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid open fall Of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
plowing than for some years. Work
in the fields was almost continuous
until the end OF November. In fact, In
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather in January of this year Is
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage of II. A great many
Americans owning land in Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
NJ wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price Of 1921 a bushel, they could
Join production and patriotism to-
gether with n big margin OF profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives very conservative state
ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities in Western Canada.
Tn its issue of December II, 1917, 1t
says:-
"Slnce the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according TO
the reports of the Dominion authori-
lies, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
"Whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as a profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war 1t has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
s2 for his product at his granary
Average crops, according TO the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
~ to 25 bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel,
brings in these war times n reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture

who worked intelligently for results
on the right side Of the ledger. It has
been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business it was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their prairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid OF
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.
It may be pointed out, however, that
the growing of wheat is not the only
inducement which is leading settle
ment to Canadian lands. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and all forms Of farm
produce all contribute their share
toward the rapid settlement of the fer
tile lands of Western Canada. "-Ad-

WAYS TO THE is PER
CENT HOG INCREASE.

Pork production, to attain the
IS per cent increase declared
needed during 1918. according to
the agricultural production pro-
gram recently announced by the
department of agriculture, will
be increased economically by
breeding for two litters a year,
by saving through better care Il
larger number Of the pigs far
rowed, by growing pasture and
forage crops, by using wastes,
especially town and city garbage,
by proper rations of cOncentrat-
ed feeds, by the use of self
feeders, by pasturing alfalfa and
other legumes and other forage
crops, by hOgging down grain
sOrghums and corn, by finishing
hogs to heavier weights, up to 2
about 275 pounds, and by pre-
ventive measures which will
keep hogs free from cholera, tu-

oil and really likes it, He has be-

oil, it is said, that he can actually tell
the state or oil field from which it was
produced by simply tasting it. So far
as known, Mr.. Mettler has not yet
found anyone who was anxious to join
him in a "Mettler cocktail" and when
Colonel Jake drinks crude, he drinks
