Charles L. Hill says: An excellent plan is to buy an old bull, if still and only in this way can you know what kind of a sire yon may have. Many of the best sires ot all the breeds have gone to the shambles long before their uesfulness was known. In the selection of a bull tor his individuality, the first thing I would want would be masculinity. This is not necessarily shown by his being coarse or having a big head, but by his resolute, sturdy, commanding appearance. This has nothing to do with bis being cross, for this is largely education, or, rather, the lack of it He wants to show that he has energy to spare. Then I want him to have a good muscle, showing good appetite, and then a large barrel, showing good digestive capacity. For use in a grade herd, never mind it ilia great barrel has caused his back to sag a little. Nearly the same words will apply to the selection of a young bull. Let him be active, robust, intelligent looking and showing large capacity. If yon wish his daughters to have good shaped udders and good sized teats see that his dam has such an udder and that the bull himself has good sized, squarely placed rudimentary teats. Let him be thin in the thighs and show no tendency to beefiness at any place. In fact, let him be all that is different from a beef sire. vig-oiou-s, The higher the price of cattle the better it will pay to feed steers of high quality. When steers are low in price there is less difference in the profits from feeding the different qualities of steers. - A Notes on Cattle Feeding. In a talk Defore the Illinois farmers Institute Ptof. Herbert W Mumford made the following points on cattle feeding. The Climate Is Healthy The Winters Are Pleasant in Western Canada. Writing from Stirling. Alberta, to one of the agents representing th Canadian Government free homestead lands, Mr. M. Pickrell, formerly of Beecbwood, Ky , says of Western Can ada: "In the first place we will say that the summer season is Just lovely indeed. As to the winter, well, we never experienced finer weather than we are now enjoying. We have just returned from Northern Alberta, and will say that we found the weather to be very mild, the air dry, fresh and Invigorating. Conside.lng everything we can say that the winters here are most pleasant, healthy and enjoyable to what they are in the States. Here it gets cold and continues so till spring there are no disagreeable winds. In South Alberta it is some wanner two to four inches of snow may fall and in a few hours a Chinook wind comes along, evaporating the entire snow, leaving terra firms perfectly dry; ia fact, we did not believe this part until we came and saw for ourselves and we now know what we herein write to be just as we write it There has not been a day this winter that I could not work out doors. Farmers here are calculating on starting the plow the first of March. As to farm wages, we would not advise a man to come here with the expectation of living by his days work, but all who do want a home I advise to have nerve enough to get up and 'ome, for there never has been, and may never be again, such a grand opportunity for a man to get a home almost free. As to the crops, I have been In the fields before harvest, saw the grass put up and the grain harvested, and 1 never saw such large yields. I saw oats near Edmonton over six feet tall that yielded 80 bushels per acre, and I talked to a farmer near St Albert who had a field year before last that averaged 110 bushels per acre and weighed 43 pounds to the bushel. All other crops would run In proportion as to potatoes and vegetables, the turnout was enormous. I have such reports as the above from all sections that I have visited, and that has been every community between the Edmonton district and Raymond, in the Lethbridge district. "As to stock raising, I would advise a man to locate In this place, or any place, in South Alberta, but for mixed farming I would say go up farther north, say near Lacombe, or Edmonton, where ll is not quite so dry and vfaere there is some timber to be had. I will say that nowhere have I ever seen a better opportunity for a man, whether be has money or not, to obtain a home. Nowhere can be found a more productive soil, better water and a better governed country than Western Canada r affords. Inducements to the are unexcelled. I met two men near Ponoka on the C. & E. R. R, who borrowed the money to pay for their homestead, and In four years those two men sold their farms one for 2,500, the other for 3.000. I met a man near Wetaskiwin who landed here with 25 cents six years ago. He Is now worth 8,000. The advantages (or ranching are excellent. In fact, I do not believe this section can be beat. Markets are good; as to living, a family can live as cheap here as they can In the States. The average yield of oats in this neighborhood last year was 70 bushels per acre; wheat averaged 35, barley 40, and the beet crop was good. In consequence of the successful cultivation of the beet a large beet sugar factory is being erected at Raymond, seven miles from here. In conclusion I will say that N. W. T. from Manitoba to a long distance north of Edmonton produces most wonderful crops. Lakes and rivers abound with fish, and game is plentiful.' And that this is unquestionably the country for a man tp come to if he desires to better his condition in life. I would advise the prospective settler to look over the Lethbridge, Lacombe, Wetaskiwin and Edmonton districts before locating. I will locate in the Edmonton district next fall and several families from the States will locate with me. In the meantime I will receive my mall here and will be pleased to give the Interested all the information desired.
