A GREAT TIDE OF PROSPERITY. Canadian Loan Companies Getting Money on Mortgages That Had Been Written Off. Probably in the history of the con- tinent there never was such a tide of heey. enjoyed by any country as he Dominion of Canada is being fa- ine with. That portion of Canada known as Western Canada is attract- ing thousands of people, who are seek- ing homes on the arable lands of that new but rapidly developing country. Possessed of exceptionally good rail- Toad privileges, the best school sys- tem in the world, churches in every Small settlement, while in the towns and cities all denominations are rep- resented, and with markets in close proximity to the grain fields, most of the requirements for a comfortable ex- Istence are met. The development that is now taking place in the min- ing districts gives an impulse to agri- culture, and good prices, with good crops, bring about a state of affairs that the crowded districts of more Populous centers are taking advan- tage of. The Associated Press dis- patches a few days since had the fol- lowing telegram: Toronto, Feb. 4.—(Special.)—Loan companies that made advances on Manitoba property years ago report that the returns from the west during the past three months have exceeded expectations. One company has taken from Manitoba over $20,000 interest, and discharged mortgages, many of which had been written off a year ago. Directors of leading loan companies are taking a greater interest in busi- ness of their institutions, and are in- quiring into many properties on which advances have been made. The climate in the western provinces of Manitoba, Alberta, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan is excellent, there be- ing no healthier anywhere. The Can- adian government is now offering spe- cial inducements for the encourage- ment of settlers, and they have their agents at work throughout the United States for the purpose of giving in- formation and distributing literature. Among those. going to Canada are many ex-Canadians, who have failed to make as good a living as they ex- vected in the United States.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is constitutional remedies. Deafness is ca d by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma- tion can be taken out and this tube re- stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of tem are used by catarrh, which is noth but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Squire John Castor, of Newpoint, Ind., is the narrator, and an honest, respected citi- zen he is too. He said: “I have been troubled with rheumatism in all my joints, hi since I went to the war. It was brought pally my exposure there. It came on me ually, and kept getting worse until I Hh unable to do any work. I tried several physicians, but they did me no good. They said my trouble was rheumatism resulting in disease of the heart, and that there was nocure for it. Nevertheless I had lived and fought the disease for thirty years, and did not intend to die, simply because -hey said I Want to Swear to That. I must, so [hunted up some remedies for myself, and finally happened on Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I asked some of my neighbors about the medicine, for it had been used by several persons in the community, and they recommended it very highly. I’procured a box. The pills helped me right away, and I continued taking them. I commenced taking them last fall, and finished taking the sixth box a few months ago. I am not bothered with the rheumatism now,—the medicine has cured me. Ican most certainly recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.” These pills are not only good for rheu- matism, but are valuable for any disease that arises from impoverished, or bad blood. They do Nor act on the bowels. ‘There are four papers published in the arctic regions.

A GOOD CHEAP FARM WAGON, In order to introduce their low met- al wheels with wide tires, the Empire Mfg. Co., 616 H. St., Quincy, Ill., have placed upon the market a _ farmers’ handy wagon, sold at the low price of $19.95. The wagon is only 25 inches high, fitted with 24 and 30-inch wheels, with 4-inch tires, either straight or staggered spokes. This wagon is made of best material throughout, and fully guaranteed for one year. Catalogue giving full description will be mailed upon application to the manufacturers, who also furnish metal wheels at low prices, made any size and width of tire to fit any axle.

Some Up-to-Date Hints About Cul- tivation of. the Soll and Yields Thereof—Horticulture, Viticulture and Floriculture. Cow Peas and Soja Beans. For Fertilizer—The value of these two crops as a fertilizer is largely due to their high per cent. of nitrogen and, further, upon the fact that though they prefer good land they will grow on either sand or clay that is “too poor to raise anything else.” As the roots @re small and nearly five-sixths of the plant is above ground the stubble alone does not enrich the ground as much as do the correspond- ing parts of alfalfa and of clover. Sown for fertilizer, the crop should be plowed under, or, better yet, hogged down or pastured off before plowing. They are indifferent to fertilizers, except the superphosphates. Yield.—Rhode Island reports yields of two or three tons of dry matter of cow peas and slightly less of soja beans. Delaware reports but a little over one ton per acre of cow peas. Louisiana over one and one-half tons and South Carolina over three and one-half tons of dry matter to which ten per cent should be added to express it in terms of hay. Ohio reports but one and one- half tons of green foliage, but the land was poor. The yield of seeds varies greatly in different localities, with dif- ferent varieties and with time of plant- ing. In general, cow peas and soja beans are eapable of about equal yield in seeds, the former tending to excel in the South and the latter in the North. Both yield more in drills than when sown broadcast; late planting tends to increase seed production and early planting to excessive development of stem and leaf. Of the many varieties of cow peas, the small upright growers are most prolific in seed and the so- called trailers, of longer growth, yield most of forage. Yields of seed report- ed vary from ten or twelve bushels to as high as thirty-seven per acre, though twenty-five bushels is a good Wield of cow peas and twenty of soja beans. Varieties.—The two common varieties of soja beans are the Black Medium and the Early White, or Improved White. Of these the first seems to give the ranker growth of vines and the latter the heavier yield of seed. The sixty or more varieties of cow peas differ greatly in character of growth, in amount of vine, in yield of seed, and in the time required from seeding to maturity. Some of. the smaller varieties called “bunch” varie- ties are entirely upright, like ‘soja beans, others called “trailers” send out long trailing vines fifteen or twenty feet long, and stil] others called “run- ners” send out upright stalks which af- terward from extreme development re- ' sume a horizontal position. The real trailers produce a heavy growth of vine, but the crop is difficult to secure with the mower, which rides over many of the lowest vines, leaving them attached both to the ground and to the tangled mass of vines about them. Because of this, the so-called runners are preferred as being easier to cut clean from the ground. A few varieties will live in the ground over winter iri the southern states and come up the succeeding spring. The following supposed facts will be of value to the prospective grower: (t) means trailing; (r) run- ning; (e) erect. Very Early.—Sixty or seventy days; New Erea (r), Chocolate (r), Congo (r), Vacuum (r), White Giant (r). Early.—Whippoorwill (e), Crowder (r), Granite (r). Medium.—Coffee (e), Large Lady (r), Pony (r). Late.—Black Eye (r), Everlasting (r), White Crowder (r). Very Late.—Unknown (or Wonderful) (e), Black (r), Blue Hull (r), Purple Hull Crowder (r), Clay (e), Conch (t), Gourd (r), Calico (r), Quadroon (e), Redding (r), Red Nipper (r), Rice (r), Speckled Crowder (r). North Carolina prefers Unknown and Black for yield of either forage or seed. Clay for poor land and Red Nipper for dry, sandy land. Nearly all except the northern states place Unknown first and Black second for general use, that is, for both seed and vine. The Clay recommended for poor soils has much vine, but is a poor bearer. The Blue is small, with few vines, but a good bear- er. Whippoorwill is an early variety of great excellence, but is a “bunch” pea with few vines. Culture.—Either of these crops will grow on almost any land that is not too wet, and may be sown broadcast at the rate of one-half to two bushels per acre, using least seed with the trail- ing or running varieties. They may also be planted in drills of convenient distance for cultivating, planting the seeds five or six inches apart in the row, in which case a-bushel of soja beans will plant about four acres, and of cow peas four to six, according to the variety. The yield of seed will be best from drills, but the culture is cheaper when sown broadcast on ground well prepared as for corn, in which case the crop now takes posses- sion of the ground to the exclusion of weeds. In the South cow peas are fre- quently sown in corn at the last culti- vating. In general, the best time to plant is immediately after corn, though much depends on the variety, and upon the fact that the late planting favors seed formation, particulrly with cow peas. In all cases avoid cultivation when the vines are wet. Source of Seed.—Seed can be pur- chased from any reliable seedsman, and at prices ranging from 75 cents up, ac- cording to the locality and other cir- cumstances. Southern seedsmen seem to pay most attention to varieties. Red Soll Analyses. Prof. Persons, in his bulletin on “A Chemical Study of Some Tropical chemical analysis, says: There is prob- ably no one subject in connection with their profession that is so little under- ‘stood by farmers gerierally as that of the real value to be attached to a chem- ical analysis. Indeed, I may say that there is scarcely a question that is the subject of so much discussion and dis- agreement, even among the agricultur- al chemists of the country as that of the real importance to be attached to such an analysis. One line of authori- ties, headed by Dr. Hilgard, the direc- tor of the California experiment sta- tion, relies most strongly upon sach an analysis. while others, of perhaps equal Prominence, at least in other lines, do not place so much reliance upon it. All agree, however, that something is to be gained by a careful chemical study of a soil. Even those who do not agree wholly with Hilgard concede that, whilst a chemical analysis fails to in- dicate the exact degree of availability of soil constituents, it will at least re- veal the approximate total quantity of the several constituents present there- in, and in this indicating either the suf- ficiency or deficiency of the several soil essentials, it proves itself very helpful to the agriculturist, even though it does fail to show the exact degree of availability of a single soil constituent. It must be conceded that if it does this only, a chemical analysis is of sufficient importance to warrant its being under- taken, for if it can tell a farmer that his, soil contains a sufficient quantity of one element and is probably entirely lacking in another, it at least affords him a rational basis for inaugurating a series of practical soil-test experi- ments with fertilizers that will enable him to answer the question definitely and thus save himself the risk of pur- chasing and applying certain fertilizers on a particular soil that are not needed by it and that would prove a useless expenditure if applied. It will be seen that the weak point in an analysis is that, while it reveals what a soil actu- ally contains and in what proportions the several constituents are present, it does not state with absolute accuracy just how much of that plant food is in an available form, that is, in a form suited for plant assimilation. This is an important matter, for, other things being equal, the actual productiveness of any soil will depend not so much upon the total amount of plant food it contains as upon the proportion of that food which is in an available form. And until it is possible for an analysis to reveal with much accuracy the degree of availability of any plant food essen- tial, it cannot be said that chemical methods are entirely perfected and ca- pable of furnishing information in all respects satisfactory. It is encouraging to note that many chemists are at the present time engaged in perfecting methods with this object in view. It frequently happens that when soils are barren their failure to produce is due to the presence of certain poison- ous substances, such as sulphate or sul- phid of iron. When such is the case, & chemical analysis will reveal the fact and chemistry will provide a remedy. Soll for Pears. Clay soil is considered best for pear culture, and still it should not be too tenacious and sticky. A pear orchard will not thrive so well, says Green's Fruit Grower, on any soil that has not a clay subsoil. Next to a friable clay loam, a gravel loam is most desirable. A light, sandy soil is the least desirable of any, and yet pears can be grown on sandy soil. Standard pears can be planted twenty to thirty feet apart, ac- cording to circumstances and habits of growth. If planted ‘thirty feet apart, dwarf pears can be planted between the rows each way. I prefer a stand- ard pear for general orchard culture, for the.reason that they require less fertility’ and cultivation, and for the further reason that they are longer liv- ed and make larger and more perma- nent trees. When the question came j up for a vote, however, before the Western New York Horticultural socie- ty, we found that the dwarf pear was the favorite for orchard planting or for garden. Dwarf pears have the advan- tage of coming into earlier bearing. The dwarf pear is not short lived. It requires more pruning and more atten- tion than the standard pear. Many va- rieties do better on the dwarf pear than on the standard. .I should not locate a pear orchard or any other orchard in a low piece of ground. I should locate on a hillside. The pear is easily trans- planted. I transplant several thousand every spring, and they do not lose on an average one out of one hundred trees. Pear trees come into bearing earlier than the apple. Intensive Culture—In France, ac- cording to authorities who criticise Ca- nadian agriculture from this stand- point, the art of fertilizing the soil is carried to such an extent that, in case of tenant farming, the tenant usually reserves the right to carry the surface of the soil of his farm or garden away with him on the expiration of. his lease. This is the more practicable in that country because of excellent means of communication, the usual smallness of the lots cultivated, and the fact that the French peasantry sel- dom wander far from the neighborhood in which they were born. The returns from a single acre of land cultivated in the vicinity of Paris by the highest de- gree of intensive fillage often amount to eight or even ten fold more than the returns from an acre of land on a Canadian farm.—Rural Canadian. The sunshine of Southern California is being put to practical use by means of a solar water heater, which is being largely used in that section. It heats water by the sun’s rays, and by its use hot water may be had for a bath and other domestic purposes at all hours of the day and night, the invention working automatically. It is claimed that after the apparatus is once in there is not a cent of expense, nor need @ minute of time be devoted to it.
