INDEPENDENCE ON THE FARM SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW FARMING IN THE CANADIAN WEST. Americana In Canada Not Asked to Forget That They Were Born Americans. Farm produce today is remunera tive, and this helps to make farm life agreeable. Those who are studying the economics of the day tell us that the strength of the nation lies in she cultivation of the soil. Farming is no longer a hand-tomouth existence. It means independence, often allluence, but certainly independence. Calling at a farm house, near one of the numerous thriving towns of Al berta, in Western Canada, the writer •was given a definition of "indepen dence" that was accepted as quite original. The broad acres of the farm er's land had a crop—and a splendid one, too, by the way—ripening for the reapers' work. The evenness of the crop, covering field after field, attract ed attention, as did also the neatness of the surroundings, the well-built sub stantial story-and-a-half log house, and the well-rounded sides of the c.attle. His broken English—he was a French Canadian—was easily understandable and pleasant to listen to. He had come there from Montreal a year ago, had paid S2O an acre for the 320-acre farm, with the little improvement it had. He had nover farmed before, yet ills crop was excellent, giving evi dence as to the quality of the soil, and the good judgment that had been used In its preparation. And brains count in farming as well as "braw." Asked how he liked it there, he straightened his broad shoulders, and with hand outstretched towards the waving fields of grain, this young French Canadian, model of symmetrical build, replied: "Be gosh, yes, we like farmin'—well, don't we, Jeannette?" as he smilingly turned to the young wife standing near. She had accom panied him from Montreal to his far west home, to assist him by her wifely help and companionship, in making a new home in this new land. "Yes, we come here wan year ago, and we never farm before. Near Montreal, me father, he kep de gris' mill, an' do cardin' mill, an' be gosh! he run de cheese factor' too. He work, an' me work, an' us work tarn har', be gosh! Us work for de farmer; well 'den, eometin' go not always w'at you call RANG THE BELL, ALL RIGHT -- • " "*j J - ' - Estimate* of Yield *»f Wheat in Western Canada lor 1110 Mote I hau One Hundred Million Bushels. de' right, an' de farmer he say de' mean ting, be goih! and tell us goto —well, anyway he tarn mad. Now," and then he waved his hand towards the fields, "I 'ave no bodder. no cardin* mill, no grls' mill, no cheese factor'. I am now de farmer man an' when me want to, nie can say to de oder fellow! you go ! Well, we Ilk ' him the farmin'." And that was h good definition of independence. Throughout a trip of several hun dred miles in Ihe agricultural district of Western Canada, the writer found the farmers In excellent spirits, an optimistic feeling being prevalent everywhere. It will be Interesting to the thousands on the American side of the line to know that their rela tivets and friends are doing well there, that they have mad»» their home In a country that stands up so splendidly nnd'-r what 1. s ht«-n trying conditions In BOM of tl;«* northwestern part of 'he fnrniiiiK districts of the -ontlnent With the exemption of some portion.-, of Southern Alberta, and also a poi tion of Muntti ha and Southern Has hatchesan lh« grain crops could be describe I as fair, g »td and excellent.

There are In dividual crops which will run as high as 45 bushels on acres of 500 and 1,000 acres, but there are others which will drop as low as 15. A safe average for winter wheat will be 19 bushels. The sample is exceptionally fine, excepting in a few cases where It has been wrin kled by extreme heat. The northern section of Alberta has been naturally anxious to Impress the world with the fact that It has not suffered from drought, and this Is quite true. Wheat crops run from 20 to 3C bushels to an acre, but in a report such as this it is really only possible to deal with the province as a wholi and while the estimate may seem verj low to the people of Alberta, it Is fail to the province throughout. When the very light rainfall anc other eccentricities of the past seasor are taken into account. It seems noth ing short of a miracle that the Cana dian West should have produced 105 million bushels of wheat, which if less than IS million bushels short oj the crop of 1009. It Is for the West generally a paying crop and perhaps the best advertisement the countrj has ever had, as it shows that no mat ter how dry the year, with thorough tillage, good seed and proper methods of conserving the moisture, a crop car always be produced. As some evidence of the feeling ol the farmers, are submitted letters written by farmers but a few days ago, and they offer the best proof that can be given. Maidstone, Sask., Aug. 4, 'lO. I came to Maidstone from Menomi nee. Wis., four years ago, with my parents and two brothers. We all lo cated homesteads at that time and now have our patents. The soil is a rich black loam as good as I have evei seen. We have had good crops each year and in 1909 they were exceeding ly good. Wheat yielding from 22 to 4C bushels per acre and oats from 40 to 80. We are well pleased with the country and do not care to- return to our native state. I certainly believe that Saskatchewan Is just the place for a hustler to get a start and make himself a home. Wages here for farm labor range from $35 to $45 per month. Lee Dow. Tofield, Alberta, July 10, 1910. I am a native of Texas, the largest and one of the very best states ofUhG Union. I have been hero three years and have not one desire to. return to the States to live. There is no place I know of that offers such splendid inducements for capital, brain and brawn. I would like to say to all who are not satisfied where you are, make a trip to Western Canada; if you do not like it you will feel well repaid for your trip. Take this from one who's on the ground. We enjoy splen did government, laws, school, railway facilities, health, and last, but not least, an ideal climate, and this from a Texan. O. L. Pughs. James Normur of Porter, Wisconsin, after visiting Dauphin, Manitoba, says:"l have been in Wisconsin 25 years, coming out from Norway. Never have I seen better land and the crops In East Dauphin are better than I have ever seen, especially the oats. There Is more straw and it has heav ier heads than ours In Wisconsin. "This is just the kind of land wo are looking for. We are all used to mixed farming and the land we have see;, is finely adapted to that sort or work. Cattle, hogs, horses and grain will be my products, and for the live stock, prospects could not be better. I have never seen such cattle as are raised here on the wild prairie grasses and the vetch that stands three or four feet high In the groves and on the open prairie. Sir Wilfred Laurler Talks to Amer icans. Sir Wilfred Laurler, Premier of Ca'.iada, is now making a tour of Western Canada and In the course of his tour he has visited many of tho districts In which Americans have set tled. He expresses himself as highly pleased with them. At Craig, Sas katchewan, the American settlera Joined with the others In an address of welcome. In replying Sir Wilfred said In part: "I understand that many of you have come from the great Republic •o the south of us—a land which is akin to us by blood and tradition. I hope that In craning from a free coun try you realize that you come also to another free country, and that al though you came from a republic you have come to what la a crowned democracy. The King. our sovereign, has perhaps not so many powers as the President of the I'nlted States, but whether we are on the one side of the line or the other, we ate all brothers by blood, by kinship, by ties of relationship.

SUCCESS IN DEVELOPING PROFITABLE SHEEP FLOCK • • i' . "> '( • Farmers Must First Get Away From Belief That Animals May Be Kept as Scavenjjers—Start With Weil-Bred Ewes. If we make a success of keeping a flock of sheep 011 our farms we must get away from the common belief that sTieep may be kept as scavengers. While it is a fact -that sheep will clean up weeds and briars, and man age to exist on poor pasture, yet this is only incidental. If we keep a flock of sheep as scav engers they soon assume the appear and that their purpose would signify. Their fleeces appear seedy and full of burrs and briars, and they show the A Pen of Southdowns. e2e-;ts of mismanagement and nog lc-ct. It is test to start with a few well bred ewes and the best ram that can be found at a reasonable price, and gradually build up a herd of fine ewes. In this way the new breeder can make a closer study of the individu ality of his sheep than he could if he was Working with a larger number. A more intelligent selection could be made of the rams that were brought to mat 6 with his ewes, and he could be all of Ihe time increasing his knowledge of the business as the size of the flock increased, until he would be capable of wrestling with many of the more intricate problems that would come when the flock was Hear ing perfection. A great many fail with sheep because they undertake to work with too large a number. Every sheep' looks - alike and they cannot make an intelligent study of ! IMPROVING THE POULTRY FLOCKS Better Results Could Be Hud it Farmera in Given Locality Would All Keep One Breed of Chickens. The community idea might be worked a great deal more than It is in the pure-bred, poultry business. Better results could be had if the farmers in a given locality would nil keep one breed of poultry. If they would unite on softie good, popular, easy selling breed, they would find buyers much more easily than where each man keeps a different kind of stock, says the American Cultivator. With dairy cattle this plan has worked wonderfully well for certain groups of farmers in various parts of the country. In Wisconsin there is n dairy center, where almost everybody keeps Guernsey. In New York state there is a region where dozens of farmers keep Holstcfus. In northern New Jersey there is another Guernsey center, and in various parts of the countr ythere are Jersey and Ayrshire dairy centers. In ail .thuse localities j there are hundred** of pure-bred ani- j main, which can be seen In a few hours. Such a condition becomes known all over the country, and buy ers travel hundreds of miles, knowing that if they do not find Just what Ihey want at the first farm they vlsft they are likely to ||nd it further on in the IUQV neighborhood.
