Smith of the Nebraska experiment station said: Corn is our king of food stuffs and will continue to be. It can be pro­ duced in abundance here at little ex­ pense. The kernels are of such size and brittleness as to make them easily masticated. No food is better relished by farm animals and no food will give more satisfactory results when prop­ erly fed. As a single food it is defi­ cient in protein and mineral matter, and should therefore be reinforced by something rich in these materials. As previously stated, wheat is ordinarily too expensive to feed. The by-prod­ ucts of wheat, however,--bran and shorts,--are available at reasonable prices. They are not only low-priced but furnish to the animal Just what corn lacks. While the three coatings of the kernel constitute but 5 per cent, the gluten layer 3 per cent and 4 per cent, and the germ S per cent of the entire kernel, from 25 per cent, to 40 per cent of the kernel is removed in milling as by-products. For fattening animals, shorts is too rich in protein, while corn is too deficient to give the bent returns. The two together, how­ ever, make a strong combination. The results of a single experiment con­ ducted by Professor Henry of Wiscon­ sin several years ago will substantiate this statement. In feeding three lots of pigs, one on corn meal, another on middlings, and a third on equal parts of each, one hundred pounds of gain was produced from 537 pounds of corn by the hogs of lot 1, 622 pounds of middlings by lot 2, and but 439 pounds of the mixture of both corn and mid­ dlings. A given weight of the mixture therefore produced near 20 per cent more gain than the same weight of either alone. Bran is the food par excellence for sheep and cattle, not only because it supplies protein and mineral matter, but also because when mixed with corn meal It so lightens the heavy grain ration as to make it more readily acted upon by the di­ gestive juices and more easily moved forward through the stomachs and in­ testines. It acts as a mild laxative and thus keeps a heavy grain fed animal in a thrifty condition. Every boy on the farm knows the value of a hot bran mash for the sick cow or horse. If these by-products of wheat were mixed with corn in fair proportion, it would hardly seem necessary to pur­ chase condlmental stock foods at high prices. BACKACHE Well-Matured Breeding Animals Needed. More and more the stock-breeders of the United States are becoming con­ vinced that they must have only ma­ ture animals for breeders if the stam­ ina of their flocks and herds is to be kept up. At the Wisconsin Experi­ ment station it was found that one- year-old rams were not as prolific as two and three year old rams. With ewes also it was demonstrated that the ewes below three years of age gave a smaller percentage of increase than the ewes that had reached three years. We have been trying to in­ tensify the quality of early maturity by breeding from Immature parents, till it has become evident that the stamina of the breeds is being weak­ ened. Now our stations are pointing 'out the necessity for using, more ma­ ture animals,, and they are finding the lesson difficult to teach. \ » Backache is a forerunner and one of the most common symp­ toms ef kidney trouble and womb displacement.

The makers of butter!ne have been looking far and near for some ingre­ dient that will color oleomargarine and yet form a very considerable pro­ portion of the butterine made. The Internal revenue officers have hither­ to decided against every coloring In­ gredient found on the ground that so small a percentage was used that It was evident that it was not intended as a substantial part of the compound, but was added for its coloring effects only. Had the coloring matter com­ posed say 10 per cent of the bulk of the oleomargarine and possessed food value the internal revenue officers might have ruled that it was a legiti­ mate part of the compound. Now, however, a Chicago savant thinks he has found a solution of the coloring problem in eggs. He has therefore taken out a patent on what he con­ siders the key to the oleomargarine situation. In his application for papers patent he claims his butterine is to consist of 30 per cent fresh eggs, 20 per cent tallow, and 50 per cent lard. The tallow and the lard are to be melted and thus mixed. The eggs are to be beaten for fifteen minutes and then mixed with the other ingre­ dients, after which the mixture is to be boiled from 15 minutes to half an hour, when it is cooled off and worked. How the eggs will suit the consumers of oleo is yet to be found out. mt'C 8eed Com. From Farmers' Review; Farmers are getting ready for spring work. The frost is nearly out of the ground. The bulk of our corn last fall was not fully ripe and the wise farmer will carefully test his seed early. A good way is to take one kernel from each doubtful ear and put them be­ tween two pieces of cloth in a dish of earth, kept wet when the tempera­ ture is not too low, and if good it will sprout in four or five days. Do not use too old seed. I had some thrae years ago that was fine, having been kept perfectly dry and looked bright and good, and not having seed enough used some to finish np planting with. It was three or four days longer In coming up and was sickly and poor all suihmer, and I had not more than half a crop.--Q. W. Buffum, Steele County, Minn, It is evident that silage is to be a great factor in the future feeding of cattle in Illinois and nei^iborlng states. The digestions of cattle are worn out by too high feeding of con­ centrated stuffs. Besides, the waste in undigested material Is great. Silage comes in as a kind of feed that helps out the others and saves t4e digestive apparatus of the animals. SECURE AJREE HOME In the Fertile Wheat Fields of Western Canada. . To the Editor: The emigration of well-to-do farmers trom the United States to the Canadian Northwest has assumed such proportions that organ­ ized efforts are now being made by interested persons and corporations to stem the tide. The efforts are being initiated chiefly by railway and real estate interests in the states from which the bulk of the emigration takes place. The movement of population has taken from numerous states thou­ sands* of persons whose presence along railways in these states made business for the transportation com­ panies. The movement has also be­ come BO widely known that it has pre­ vented the settlement of vacant lands along these lines, parties who might have located there being attracted to the free and more fertile lands of Can­ ada. The result of the movement has been that the railway companies not only see the vacant lands along their lines remain vacant., but they also see hundreds of substantial farmers who have helped provide business for these : railways move away and so cease their contributions. The farmers have moved to Canada because they were convinced that It would be to their financial interest to do so. In moving they have been inconsiderate enough to place their own financial interests before those of the financial interests of the railway corporations. In addition to the railway corpora­ tions, real estate dealers are working to stem the flow of emigrants. Of course every emigrant who goes to Canada means the loss of commissions on land deals by real estate dealers. Now a person has but to know what the interests are that are trying to stop the flow to know what motive is influencing their course. The emigra­ tion means financial loss to railway corporations and to real estate men. These interests therefore are not di rectlng their opposition efforts out of any love for the departing emigrants or out of any high patriotic motives either. They are doing so purely from selfish interests. It is a matter of dol­ lars and cents with them. They are so patriotic, they are so consumed by love for their fellow-citizens, that they want to prevent these fellow-citizens going to Canada and getting free farms of the best wheat land in the world, and instead they want to make them stay on high-priced farms in the United States, where they will con tinue to pour money into the pockets of these railways and real estate men One of the methods employed by these interests to stem the tide is the distribution of matter to newspapers, painting Canada in the darkest colors. These articles emanate chiefly from a bureau in St. Louis. They are sent out at frequent intervals for simul­ taneous publication. A writer Is em­ ployed at a high salary te prepare the matter. Moreover, statements absolutely at variance with the truth have lately been published broadcast. These ap­ pear chiefly in what purport to be let­ ters from persons who are alleged to have gone to Canada and become dis­ gusted with it. Only a few of such have been published, and they contain statements that are absurd in their falsity. Whether the parties whose names appear in connection with these letters have ever been in Canada, and, if so, their history while there, is to be thoroughly looked into. The dis­ covery of their motive, like the dis­ covery of the motive of the interests Who are engineering the opposition may prove illumining. In the mean­ time, however, it may be pointed out that only few of such letters have appeared, but since 1897 over 87,000 American settlers have gone to the Canadian West Can any reasonable person suppose for a moment that If Canada was one-quarter as bad as rep resented in these letters the 87,000 Amerlcns now there would remain in the country; or, if the Canadian West had not proved the truth of all that was claimed for it, the papers of every state in the American Northwest would not be filled with letters saying so? Imagine 87,000 aggressive Amer­ icans deceived and not making short shift of their dekeivera. The fact is the 87.000 are well satisfied and are encouraging their friends, to follow them. Anyone who sees any of these dis­ paraging letters should remember that It is railway and real estate interests who have from purely selfish reasons organized a campaign to stem the flow to Canada. If Canada were half as bad as represented there would be no need of such an organization. The fact that such exists is of itself a mag­ nificent tribute to Canada. Finally It should not be forgotten that the letters published are brimful of falsehoods, and that 87,000 satisfied Americans in the Canadian West constitute a living proof that such is the case.

Now let the mixture stand a minute or two. You've other things of great importance to do. First sift the flour--use the finest in the land. Three quarts is the measure, "GOLD MEDAL" the brand.
