He went on to say: “Hun- dreds are coming from my district alone. I know this to be a fact for many of them are neighbors of mine. The chief topic of conversation with the farmers is the coming immigra- tion in the spring. “The impression general in the part of Dakota where I live that farmers can get from 10 to 15 cents more a bushel for wheat on the American side of the line than on the Canadian has not prevented people from turning their eyes to Canada as a place ta live in. They know they can get land in this country which is every bit as fertile as that in Dakota at about one- quarter the price. It is safe to say that the exodus from Dakota into Canada this year will exceed the expectations of all Canadians.” The government has_ established agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, ll.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Millwaukee, Wis.; *Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste.

U.S. Ming LADY ON EDITORIAL STAFF OF LEADING RELIGIOUS WEEKLY Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the Treatment of Humours of the Blood, Skin “T wish to give my testimony to the efficiency of the Cuticura Reme- dies in what seems to me.two some- what remarkable cases. I had a mumber of skin tumours—small ones —on my arms which had never given meserious trouble; but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about as large as a pinhead, but, as it was in & position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon came very sensitive and began to ,grow rapidly. Last spring it was ‘as large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to de- termine whether it was a carbuncle jor a malignant tumor. 3 at > “ My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physician ; but dread- ing that he would insist on using the knife, I would not consent to Instead I got a small bottle of Gnticura Resolvent and a box of Cu- ticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on a linen cloth and net it_on the swelling. On rendwing it I would ‘bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. In a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized yeedle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. “Pus and blood, and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks’ time this treatment completely eliminated boil and tumor. The soreness that had ex- and Scalp. tended down into’my chest was all gone, and my neck now seems to be perfectly well. ‘* About five or six years ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physi- cian wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it, and she tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a few months ago) with magical effect. In six weeks’ time the lumps had entirely disappeared,and have never returned. “1 have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies, and I believe they might be as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life. I have derived so much benefit from the use of them myself that I am constantly advising others to use them. Re- cently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was dis- abled with salt rheum, The man's feet were swollen to an enormous size, and he had not worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent'and two boxes of Cuticura Ointment worked a perfect cure. You never saw @ more grateful man inyourlife. “TI am very much in- terested in another case where I have recom-' mended Cuticura just’ now. My housemaid’s mother has a goitre which had reached a very dangerous int. The doctors told her that nothing could be done ; that she could live only two or three weeks, and that she would die of strangulation. She was confined to her bed, and was unable to speak, when her daughter, at my suggestion, tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment andCuticura Resolvent. Strange to say, she was very shortly relieved of the most distressing symptoms. The swelling seemed to be exteriorized, and she is now able to be around her house, and can talk as well as ever. “It seems to me that I have pretty good grounds for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove suc- cessful in the most distressing forms of blood and skin humours, and if ou wish to use my testimonial as tarein indicated, I am willing that you should do so, with the further privilege of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above state. ments by personal letter to me.” Chicago, Nov. 12, 1902.

There are several methods of blanching, four of which are illustrat- ed in a recent government bulletin. Celery is blanched for the purpose of depriving it of its natural green color and of certain bitter properties, thus rendering it more palatable. .The prin- ciple involved is the exclusion of light. One of the methods of doing this is *he heaping of earth against the cel- ery, ag shown in our first illustration. In the celery fields north of Chicago CUT 1-BLEACHING CELERY WITH EARTH. this ‘method is very largely the one practiced. The soil is thrown up against the celery by The use of a horse. This makes little hand work necessary. In our second illustration we show the method of blanching with boards. It will be observed that the rows of celery are quite far apart, and that the plants are not very close in the row. This gives room for the full development of each plant, and larger stalks result. In bleaching, the CUT 2-BLEACHING CELERY WITH BOARDS. boards are tipped up against the cel- | ery and held in position by wires cut and bent for the purpose. This meth- od of bleaching is satisfactory, but re- quires quite an outlay for lumber. The boards will, however, last fof sey- eral years if taken care of. Our third illustration shows a meth- |od now practiced to some extent. Whether it becomes popular or not depends on the quality of the celery finally turned out by this bleaching process. This has been termed the “new celery culture.” It depends on the plants being grown so ¢lose to- | gether that they will shade and thus | blanch each other. The celery is | CUT | CLOSE SETTING. 8—-BLEACHING CELERY BY usually grown in rows only 12 inches | apart, with plants only 8 inches | apart in the rows. This proves a suc- cess only where there is a rank growth of plants. To make sure of this rank growth, both water and fer- tilizers are used in abundance. When this plan of bleaching is to be em- ployed, it is best to use what is known as a_ self-bleaching variety. The advantage of this system is in its cheapness, neither boards nor labor of heaping up dirt being required. Boards are used only around the out- side of the patch. In the fourth cut is shown the \ Wee \ > oral CUT 4-BLEACHING CELERY ‘H = PAPER, a method of blanching celery by means of paper. This was practiced by the Cornell station when forcing celery for the May and June market. This celery was grown in a_ hothouse. About six weeks or two months after the plants were set in permanent po- sitions they were ready for bleaching. In the experiments reported all the usual methods of bleaching were tried, but without success. When, however, the plants were wrapped with a thick. “sized” surface, the bleaching was successful. By this method the stalks were brought together and tied and a width of paper reaching to within 2 or 8 inches of the tops of the leaves was rolled tightly about the plants. As the plants grew, another width of paper was rolled about the first, and again reaching nearly the top of the plant.. Two applications of the paper were found to be sufficient. From a -month to six weeks was required to bleach the celery by this process in a cool house in April and May.—Farm- ers’ Review. Soil Surveys. In his annual report the Secretary of Agriculture says of the soil surveys made by the bureau having that work in charge: “These soil surveys are in the nature of a general reconnois- sance of the area. They show the conditions whieh prevail, and the maps show the character and distribution of the soils. This is, however, merely a basis for further work, and it‘is neces- sary in many cases’ that the informa- tion thus furnished and the sugges- tions which are made should be fol- lowed by further investigations and practical demonstrations of the effi- ciency and commercial value of the suggestions in order to insure their successful adoption by the residents of the area. Farmers are proverbially ultraconservative as to their methods, and are usually, and often justifiably, very unwilling to accept advice unless it can be shown that improvement will surely follow. Such demonstration work can, in most cases, be better ac- complished by the stations than by the | Department of Agriculture, for the sta- | tion forces have a more intimate | knowledge of the conditions and of the people, and are, as a rule, in closer touch with the people than is the de- partment, and with these reports and | maps they have the basis for further | work in the improvement of the agri- | cultural conditions of the area, upon | which they can expend their full en- ergy and all the resources at their | command, If the soil-survey work is | not followed up on_ these practical | lines, much of the efficiency and value | of the work will surely be lost.” | Tillering of Wheat. | The time of seeding has great influ- | ence upon the tillering of-the plants. Early seeded wheat affords time for | the tillering, while with late seeding, | cold weather stops growth in many cases before the desirable amount of tillering has taken’ place. As a rule, wheat seeded after the middle. of Oc- | tober in Oklahoma, tillers but little in | the fall, and November seeding not at | all. If the land is in good condition | and the following spring is favorable, | much may be made of them, but as a| tule the stand will be too thin and ir- | regular from late October to November | seeding when the usual amount of | seed is used per acre, and consequently | seven to eight pecks per acre should | be used for seeding at these times. | If the land has been put in good tilth | by early plowing and frequent harrow- | ing, lighter seedings may be used than | where the ground is loose, cloddy and | dry. In the latter case many of the) seeds will not grow and the conditions are not likely to be favorable to pro- duce the proper amount of tillering, and the usual amount of seeding should be increased by a peck or half a bushel. There are dry seasons when the best prepared soils ‘do not contain i sufficient moisture to produce regular | growth, and an increase in the rate of seeding should be made at such times. | —Oklahoma Station Bulletin. Compulsory Improvement. J. A. Ruddick, chief of the dairy di- vision, Department of Agriculture of | Canada, says: It would be a good) thing if some means could be devised | for compelling the proprietors of | many cheese factories and creameries to improve the sanitary condition of | their premises. The remarks which | one hears concerning the offensive | character of the surroundings of some | factories are often as pointed as to) make a man feel almost ashamed of | being connected with such an indus- try. We might very well follow Den- mark’s example in this respect, where they have a law which lays upon ev- ery cheese factory or creamery the obligation to provide proper drainage. It is specified that all waste and slops must be conveyed in a closed tile drain to a certain distance from the| factory. With the floors of cement | concrete or stone flags there is then no danger of a nuisance being created or the water supply being ‘contam- inated, as is too often the case in this country. 1 ‘ | Experiences Wanted on Cow Peas. From Farmers’ Review: I am a subscriber of the Farmers’ Review and would like some one to tell me something about cow peas. I have a piece of thin land on which I intend sowing cow peas in the spring, then when they have made a good growth I want to plow them in and leave the land idle till fall, then work up and sow wheat. Will some reader of the Farmers’ Review tell me their experi- ence on ‘the subject and when it is best to plow the peas and if there is any danger of souring the soil, as I was told?—Alf.

I took medicine without benefit, until my digestive organs became upset, and my head and back began to ache severely and frequently. «I was advised to try Peruna, and although I had little faith I felt so sick that I was ready to try anything. relief at once, and I felt that I had the right medicine at last.
