ALFALFA EXPERIMENT : ---- The Results Obtained From An Ex. cellent Planting.

The corn is rich In carbohydrates und poor and Jow iin protein while alfalfa is just the very opposite. Consequently, one food supplemenis the. other and. alfalfa - is especially for supplying protein in the ration of dairy cows, which mainly consists of corn silage. The chief draw- back to alfalfa in this county Is win- ter killing.

Richard KINGSTON BRANCH, 4 M MILLIONS OF ACRES, Await Preemption In British Colum. = bia, Says Minister, Hon. W. J. Bowser, the attorney- genepal of British Columbia, has just made public figurés which give a striking pleture of the agricultural development of that province partic- ularly in the districts opened up by the Grand Trunk Pacific railway. Before the railroads iw British Colum bia were bullt, Ie says, the governs ment withdrew from the 'market many large tracts of agricultural land. Following the reservation of these lands they were surveyed so 'that the pre-emptor could go in and select his land without danger of rival and interlapping claims which had caused confusion where there had been no surveys. - This had been done along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific and in the last two years there had been filed at the .land offices at Prince George, Fort Fraser, Haselion, and Prince Rupert no less than 2.643 pre-emption 'records in the land so reserved, which was four times the number of pre-empt'ons recorded in the whole: of the province five years ago. There were other thousands of ac: res of land waiting for the settler, surveyed and still under reserve. In four years the government had sur- veyed for settlement no less than 2,- 780,272 aces, and the total amount of the land surveyed and ready for. the pre-emptot and the pre-emptor alone amounted to 91,128,567 acres. One-third of the total area of land under cultivation in Canada, he said, was only 36,040,000 'acres, and yet in British Columbia the government haddprovided t times .that area Aud it stood peady for the precomp- tort we!

He says the battleship Formidable was manifestly torpedoed by a submarine acting on, and not below, the sur- face. The time and general eit- cumstances, he argues, make it im- possible that the boat was submerg- ed. "The expected' has happened," gays the correspondent, "and the submarine has taken the place of the destroyer as a torpedo user, To sub- merged activities in daylight the sub- marine has now addad those of a sur- face boat by night. By Jay it must still continue to- work by stealth, awaiting its prey, but at night it. can boldly sally forth and, protected by its comparative invisibility, can search for a target to attack, "It appears to work singly, but later on it may do its hunting in packs." ne r A Ns ---- Calls Kaiser Rascal And Asks For Death Penalty.
