eago-carried on Sweepstakes
For All Wheat

Something that lends emphasts m
and affords definite proof of. the gen
erosity Of the soil and climate oP
western Canada, is shown by the
numerous exhibits made by both the
government and individual farmers
and stock raisers OF that country. at
many Of the leading state and county
fairs in the United States this season.
Particularly is this the case with re-
gard 10 exhibits made at the Inter
national Live Stock Show recently
held at Chicago.
First and foremost TO the average
farmer viii appeal the fact that
Canada carried OF the sweepstakes
for all wheat, and that out OF a total
Of twenty-five prizes, Canada took
twenty. In oats the Grand Champion
ship was won by a farmer living In
the Province Of Alberta. Canada also
was awarded the championship for
Durum wheat, while for Flint Corn out
Of a total Of ten prizes. Canada took
6rst, second, third, sixth and seventh.
Not only in grains did Canada prove
her right TO rank as a first class agri-
cultural country, but she carried or
many prizes for cattle, horses. sheep
and hogs, a partial list OF which fol-
lows:
Cattle, Canada was awarded the
Championship for Grade Shorthorns,
also In the College Special class, Can
ada gained first, fourth and sixth
prizes.
Horses. Grand Championship for
Clydesdale stallion. also Grand Cham
pionship for American bred mare. as
well as first for three-year-oid CIydes-
dale stallion, first for one-year-oId
Clydesdale stallion, and second for
the aged class.
In the Belgian class. Canada oh

Aged stallion.
Sheep, Canada obtained Champion

Hogs. in the Yorkshire class Canada
was very prominent, taking the Cham
pionship for pen Of Yorkshires. and
Championship for best single barrow,
as well as over twenty first. second
and third prizes in other classes of
Yorkshires.
With regard TO the live stock shown
it must be borne in mind that these
have not been fed on corn, on which
the average western farmer places his
reliance. but on the wonderful oats

supplemented by the native grasses.
Of which a most artistic display was
made by our neighbOrs to the north.
Canada has cOnclrSively proved that

these grains have been fed. and this
in open competition with the world.

KEEP BROOD soWs IN WINTER
Animals Must Be Properly Fed In Or

During the winter the brood sows
should be maintained as cheaply as
possible. but at the same time they
must be properly fed in order to far

grown pigs IN the spring. Best re-
suits are obtained when sufficient
food is given to produce daily gains
on the sows of one-half or three
fOurths of a pound. To do this the
grain fed must be limited, and d.
luted with some roughage, for IN
less the ration has sufficient bulk, the
sOws will become constipated and
hungry, due to the undistended cOndi-
ton of the digestive tract. Legume
hays are the chief rOughage available
at this season, and their use will cheap

Either alfalfa, clover, soy-bean OF
cow-pea hay makes an excellent rough
age, and when fed, little or no high
priced protein concentrate Is needed
to balance the corn. Bright leafy al
falfa hay gives the best results OF
any of these roughages. Alfalfa
meal is simply the best grade Of al
falfa hay chopped into a meal
Clover hay contains almost as much
nourishment as alfalfa hay, and soy
bean hay, cut and cured when the
beans are almost ripe, is a very nu-
tritious feed. Cowpea hay should be

ADVANTAGES OF MOTOR Truck
Save Much Time In Hauling Materials
70 and From Farm-5Ie Draw
back u Poor Roads.

According to an investigation into
the worth and service Of motor trucks
on eastern farms, specialists In the
United States Department Of Agrfcul-
ture find that motor trucks. as COM
pared TO horses and wagons. last year
saved from one-half to two-thirds OF
the time required for hauling mate
rails to and from the farms. This in
formation was cleaned from study OF
reports from 753 farms, and they
showed further that trucks ranging in
size from One-half ton to five tons
were in use. with about half of them
Of the one ton size.
An interesting fact obtained from a
study Of these reports is that about
one-fourth of those reporting have
changed their markets for at least a
part Of their produce. Instead OF
patronizing their old markets at an
average distance OF seven miles from
home, they go TO better markets 10
Gated at an average distance Of 20
miles away. During the year these
trucks Travelled an average Of $3.50
miles at costs ranging from eight
cents a ton mile for the one-half ton

with the drivers time valued at so
cents an hour amounted to 80 cents a

for three-fourths ton trucks and de-
creasing TO Is cents q ton mile for the
two ton kind. Along with these costs.
four-fifths OF those reporting stated
that their trucks decreased their ex-
pense for hired help. this decrease
averaging 1924 a year.
The principal disadvantage of the
motor truck. according to this investi-

IF one were required to sum up the
L styles in furs in two words it might
be done fairly definitely in loose gar
ments." For all sorts of garments in
fur are good style-except tight-f1t-
ting ones. There are capes, long and
short. coats long and short, cape-like
coats, large dOlmans and mantles, as
well as the full, straight coat that
stands unrivaled at the head OF the
list, in point of popularity. In fact
the buyer of furs has only to choose
what best suits her figure with the
certain knowledge that if the garment
is ample in every detail, and becom-
ing. nothing more can be required of
it.
Just now is a good time to buy furs,
as they have dropped little in price,
but they still taste of money 1t
is not probable that they will return
to pre-war prices unless new fields
Of supply are opened up, and a good
fur coat is an excellent investment.
Moreover, the most conservative
styles change very little from season
to season and are not amenable

DUST BOX QUITE IMPORTANT
Chickens Cleanse Themselves of Yer
min by WaIIoWing in Dust
Place in Sunlight.

Chickens never wash as many birds
do, but cleanse themselves of insects
by walIOwing in dust. Where board
or cement floors are used in the chick
en- house, some means of busting dur
ing the winter months should be pro-
vided. A dust box feet by feet,
or feet by 4 feet will be found large
enough in most instances, the United
States Department of Agriculture sug-
gets, for flock Of so or go fowls. 1t
should be placed where it can be
reached by sunlight during as much OF
the day as possible.
Fine, light dry dust is best for the
box, but sandy loan is good. Road
dust is recommended by many, but it
is often hard to secure. Coal ashes
may be mixed with the soil if desired
to make them lighter.

''Well. third stocking, what have you

'T think I do, too" said the second

'See. There is SCOT falling down

"Oh. yes; oh, yes" said the first

Then Santa Claus came down the
chimney. With a great shake of his
white beard he looked about him.
"Ah. the children have left some
sugar for my reindeer. That will
please the reindeer. And it pleases
old Santa Claus, too. to think that the
children remember his fine animals.

for me. Yes, they tell me they wish
me a merry Christmas. Oh. that re-

So Santa Claus set to work. He

HANG ONTO YEARLING FOWLS
Practice of Selling OFF Young Hens
in Fall is WastefuI Habit of
Some Farmers.

One OF the most wasteful habits
that poultrymen and farmers have
been guilty of in the past has been
the practice OF selling off the young
hens every fall. keeping only those
needed for the breeding pen the fol-
lowing season.
They then pin their hope and faith
on the uncertain qualities of the pull
lets which they have raised, because
it has been thought that it is not
profitable to keep hens after their
pullet years. Happily, this has not
proved itself true in the numerous in
yestigationS which have been made
into the matter by the experiment
stations and by practical poultrymen
who are attempting to evolve the ut
most in egg production in their flocks.

WINTER ATTENTION TO EWES
Spring Depends on Care Given
Breeding Flock.

The success or failure of the lamb
crop next spring will depend to large
extent upon the care given the breed
ing flock during the winter. In order
to secure active, well-developed lambs,
a large percentage of which are twins,
it is absolutely necessary to have the
ewes in a thrifty condition at mating
time, and conditions of feeding and
management during the winter months
must be such that the flock will be
maintained in good flesh, strong and
vigorous.
