Q.--â€"H0w many Americans are there in Canada? .\.-â€"It is estimated that there are approximately one million people in Canada who were born in the United States, or about 12 per cent. of the Dominion population. Most of these are to be found on farms in the Western Provinces. Nearly one hundred million acres of Western Canadian land has been settled by homesteading and citizens of the United States have accounted for 30 per cent. of such sett'ement, as against 20 per cent. on the part of British. In addition, United States citizens are each year, the heaviest purchasers of privately held and im- proved lands and farms. Canada’s Wine Industry. Q.â€"What is the extent of Canada’s wine industry?

The first step is to get it feeding regularly on grain before weaning it from the mare. A mixture of oats «and bran are the best feeds to use 'for this purpose. When the foal is feeding regularly it maybe weaned without danger of a severe check in growth which will always occur if weaned without being taught to feed first. If two foals can be put to- gether in a roomy, loose-box, they will fret less than. if kept by themâ€" selves. - . The best feeds to use are oatsâ€" preferably rolledmâ€"bran” a little linseed meal and good clean, well- .cured alfalfa bay. The concentrates‘ are readily procurable anywhere but the alfalfa will not be available over as wide a range. It is, however, more valuable than any other roughage and horse breeders would be well advised to make a special effort to grow enough of this feed for their lfoals and also the brood mares. il‘ possible. Other good quality hays rank next to alfalfa in value as roughage and good results can also be obtained from them. Feed should be given three times a day at as nearly as possible regu- lar intervals and the foals should be watered before feeding. The foal is easily taught to drink before feeding and once the habit is formed no fur- ther trouble will be experienced. Salt should be available at all times. A small block of rock salt in the corner of the manger is the most sat- isfactory method of suppying it. .The amounts of feed necessary will vary with different animals. A foal will very seldom eat more than it can. properly assimilate, differing; in this point from older horses. a+++' SATURDAY, JAN. 19, 1924 E --- + By Swinnerton thirteen-hundred-pound horses flood the market. for low prices, while weleilt, sound horses of seventeen hundred pounds or over are readily saleable in the same districts at from one hundred and eighty dollars up- ward in price.
