Show r-- FARM FOUND AMERICAN) BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN Yill 1'jriuer GARDEN. So A Stamlaril of Frrunitlty, far as my observation gov, no greater comilaint there la y among market breeders than the want of prolificacy In the pure-bre- d hog. know that this Is the case in our part of the country at least. What number of pigs, then, shall wc take as the ideal, toward which we aspire in working to Improve our pure breeds of swine along these lines? The old English hog was perhaps the best type of hog, and the most profitable known, previous to the establishment of either of the now recognized pure breeds of swine. She was large In sta ture, had great constitution and energy that has not since been equaled in any of the specific breeds that have been produced since her day. Slie bore ten to fourteen strong, healthy rigs, which she was able to raise with very little, help from her owner. I well remember the old Grazer sow on my fathers farm fifty years ago, whose pro geny furnished not only the meat for the. family, but added very materially to the revenue of the farm. She waB a feeder and a great rustler, and If slie failed to raise at least ten good, healthy pigs to a Utter, we thought she was not doing her full duty. This, then, we may take as out standard of fecundity In our hog; that we have very materially retrograded from their standard no one will deny. I assume this high standard because I believe It Is possible to produce a sow that will returi. this number of good, healthy pigs without breaking her constitution, and that with a properly balanced ratio ve may succeed In raising that number of good pigs, think It is advisable for the reason that with the greater number we are fortified against the inevitable per centage of loss m farrowing and in the first weeks of the pig life. If we have too many, it Is easy to reduce the numuer, but If too few, it is imM. Me possible to increase them. Neal. to-da- CANADA. A UlflilKaa AND rc. r MATTERS OF INTEREST . CULTURISTS. Saskatoon And U ll FIvBHfd. Mr. S. K. Ix'nt was a delegate 6ent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospect for successful Settlement. Ilia report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country In that Vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 Inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer fbr forty year, consider myself a fair Judge of Fnd yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, find oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country It lias no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Keglna, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine P ning country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming rountry, so good that 1 found a party of Americana from Minnesota buying land for themselves one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of lafid for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. T have traveled over twenty-thre- e different States and Territories In our Union, and never in my life time have I eversden such magnificent crops and especially as line a stock country.
