A WESTERN CANADA EARMER. Seven Years Ago He Had But $24; Now He Has Seventy Head of Cattle. Th I * In What n Conpfe of Enatcrn Farmer* Lonrnod W licn on n He— cent Trip to Canniln—Splendid Word* About Saskatoon, Itontliern niul llnmic Dis trict Where They Will Locate. Messrs. J. E. Plum and J. Grumper, of Manchester, Washtenaw Co., Michi gan, paid a visit to Alberta last sum mer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently —some seven years ago—from Ontario, with $24 in his pocket, lie has certainly prospered as he now owns over 70 head of cattle, has a good log house framed over, also a good l>arn and in all respects looks a thrifty and well-to-do farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spending some day* in Calgary and Edmonton they returned to Kegina, Assiniboia, and looked around the country North to Luitis den and Balgonie where tlie crops ap peared very promising and heavy, con tinuing up the Kegina and Long Lake Road they came to Saskatoon on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan River. Of this district they say : "The country here pleased us better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in northwesterly direc tion through the Smith settlement. This is a wonderful district, the growth was splendid, all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older set tlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous, in fact we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, gen erally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of draw ing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly advise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing. As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the conclusion that prop erly farmed Western Canada will grow almost anything."

(.enitoiiN TnuKlit by Some Experi ment* Hl l LI VIIICM Conducted at the California Station. Results of experiments in bench grafting resistant vines have recently been reported from tin* California Ex periment station. The experiments include tests of the relative value o( English and Cham pin grafts, leaving two eyes on the scions and leaving only one, preliminary callusing in sand, planting out in the nursery im mediately after grafting and callusing in straw covered with sand. The cut tings used varied from one-fourth to one-half inch in diameter, and were from six to nine inches long. The low er cut was made through the knot of the bud and the last internode of the upper left as long as possible. All the 'yuds on the stock were carefully re moved, a deep cut being made in order to remove the adventitious buds at the base of the main bud. Scions were prepared in a similar way, except that the buds were left i a GRAFTS FOR GRAPE CUTTINGS. I. English Cleft; 2, Champln; 3, End to End. The scions having only one eye were j cut through the second knot, in ordtr j to leave the eye protected by a closed ; internode. With the scions having two eyes, the upper cut was made I about an inch above flic second bud sye. Care was taken to prevent the drying out of the cuttings and after ward of the grafts. End-to-end grafting, as originated ' in France, was practiced in some in- | stances. The number of successful j grafts obtained by this method was low, but those that did unite made ex- I cellent unions. In grafting by this method the ends of stock and scion are cut at an angle of about 70 degrees and held in place by a piece of galvanized wire, which is pushed into the pith of each piece. The proportion of successful Cham pin grafts was slightly greater than that of the English cleft. The success ful English cleft grafts, however, were considered superior to the other in the matter of completeness and strength of union. The experiments with two-eye ar.d one-eye scions were, on the whole, in favor of the use of two eyes. '1 he difference bet ween callusing the grafts in sand and planting them di rectly in the nursery as soon as made was very striking. TTiose previously call used produced 01 per cent, of good unions, while the others produced but 26 per cent. There was also a differ ence in the growth of the grafts it favor of those callused in sand. GOOD PEACH REGIONS. Expert Fruit Kroner Think* Snitul>]« Soil Can He Found in All I'nrta of the Country, The past season has been one thai has made peach culture more interest ing than any other season that 1 rec ollect in Illinois, from the fact that they have shipped jin excellent kind | of peaches to market and i suppose made a reasonable amount of money. We used to talk about peach sections; it used to be supposed that it was confined to certain narrow territories, some of them down east, one of them over in Michigan, another in southern Illinois, but the spirit of commercial i ism has led men to study requirements for successful culture of various kinds j of crops, one of them, of course, be ing the peach, and that study has set j men to hunting for suitable locations. ■ Knowing the requirements, we find i there are millions of acres of good I peach region. 1 have no idea of how | much undeveloped first class peach land there is in the United States, and the transportation companies have j made possible the delivery of peaches ; grown in any section of the United J States to any other part of the United j States with due dispatch and in good j order. That leaves commercial peach | growers in a position where it is a ; question, perhaps in the near future, j of a survival of the fittest; a brutal | old law. but humankind seems to know i no other law but the survival of the | fittest. In the pursuit of the almighty j dollar we know no limit to our am bitions. Where acres of peaches were planted a few years ago, whole solid sections are growing to-day. The mar ket, of course, has been developed and extended by the same transportation ] facilities; the consumption of all fruits seems to be on a rapid increase, | although we must doubt as to whether I it can keep up with the wonderful in | crease in the production.—R. Morrill, in Farmers' Review. Don't Neglect flip f.nrdea. Gardens that pay best are those that receive the most attention. A j garden will not take care of itself and yield a profit. Probably no part of the farm pays as large a profit as the garden in good hands. A man that realizes this will give it the first at tention in the spring, both as regards labor and fertilizer. The garden lovei will not forget it when other parts oi the farm also need attention. If a mar will not. do the work necessary or have i it done, he may as well not attempt tc ! have a garden,—Farmers' Review, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1902. AN EPIDEMIC OF LAUGHTER. Three Yniiii-r People In Illinois Town WIIO Nearly IMe from Irrepremtlble Merriment. The young people of Wellington, in Iroquois county, 111., are suffering from an expidemic of laughter, which has baffled the doctors and lias caus ed much distress. The tirst victim of the affliction was 'Miss Effie Hamil ton, the 15-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. iM. Hamilton. She laugh ed unceasingly for four days, until her father, not knowing what else to do, dashed a glass of cold water in her face. The shock had the desired effect, but for a long time the girl was exceedingly weak from the strain of her four days of laughing. '1 lie second victim was Miss Itosa (Butts, aged 15. She was taken much the same way as Miss Hamilton, but the cold water cure had only tempo rary effect. The girl was finally stopped, but not until her condition had become alarming. The third victim is a young man, John Kimberlin, who laughed for al most a week, and then only let up owing to his excessive weakness. The young people were all similarly af flicted, and during their hysterical attacks were unable to cat or sleep, so the debilitating efl'ect of their ailment can easily be understood. The utmost solemnity is the rule in Wellington now, and anything cal culated to sfart even a mild laugh is promptly suppressed. DISEASE IS IMPORTED. Itanser trom Imported Cnttle ICmpliu tlzcd In Warning from tlie Secretary of Agriculture* In a paper read before the Central Shorthorn Breeders' association at its annual meeting at Kansas City, 1.M0., the other day James Wilson, sec retary of agriculture, says it has been found that tuberculosis is being spread by pure bred imported ani mals, and lie suggests the propriety of shutting down on the importation of cattle and sheep. Glanders, too, he says, is an imported disease, and he suggests that it might also be well to exclude foreign horses from the American markets. "The idea," continues the secre tary, "that foreign cattle as a class are better in the show ring or have greater potency than our cattle is a fallacy that the American breeder should set about dispelling now and for all time." iMr. Wilson was unable to be pres ent and his paper was read by George M. Rommel, an expert from the de partment of agriculture. NEW FUEL MADE OF CLAY. Company In Ohio llu* all Article Whirh It Claim* IN Cheaper un<L Hotter Than Coal. The American Clay-Working Ma chine Co., of Bucyrus, <)., has been applied to for machinery to manu facture an artificial fuel which will sill cheaper than coal. It is made from ordinary clay treated with chemicals and is the invention of an old railway engineer of Omaha. The fuel burns in a stove, grate or fur nace readily. It creates no smoke, no cinders, and burns to white ashes, 25 pounds of the fuel producing only a quantity of ashes that may be held in the palm of the hand. In the com bustion the fire literally consumes its own ashes, and a ton of the fuel goes farther than two tons of the best coal, producing five times the amount of heat that coal produces. ■; ' » J) "' * The Kind You Have Always Bought THE CENTAUR COMPANY, 7 7 MURRAY STREET, NEW YORK CITY.
