(Farm and Dairy) There is not a surer road to wealth than through the ownership of land that is rapidly increasing in value. Very few of our farmers own land that is increasing in value through the influx of population We all have it within our power, however, to greatly increase the value of our farms by planting apple trees. Land that is not worth $100 in its natural state may yield re- turns that would make it a profitable investment at $1,000 an acre when in bearing orchard. The influence of orchard planting in increasing land values may be illustrat- ed by reference to the Wenatchee Val- ley in Oregon. This valley has an area equal to Prince Edward county. Ex- clusive of residential property, the av- erage value of the land in the Valley is $2,500. This abnormally high value of - land is due entirely to the fact that the whole area is devoted to fruit growing, and most of the orchard area is in apples. • There are large areas of land in Canada, from Ontario east, and in Brit- ish Columbia, just as well adapted to orcharding as is that of the Wenatchee Valley. Although we may have to wait several years while the orchard is growing for this increase in value, the land is not idle. Hoe crops may be grown in the young orchard that will more than pay the rent of the lana, and when in a few years the orchard does coma into bearing we have a source of profit worth while and something that, should we sell the farm, will add im- mensely to its value. Many of us can with profit follow the example of those Oregon farmers in the Wenatchee Val- ley and devote a much greater propor- tion of our farms to orchard. THE REBEL.

Suoh was Mackenzie.

The "fatality" figures in Toronto, ac- cording to Busy Man's Canada, not including the scores of serious or min- or accidents, are as follows for the past three years: 1909 -Killed by vehicles, 3; by trains, 3; by trolley cars, 8; total, 14. 1910 -Killed by vehicles, 8; by trains, 10, by trolley cars 13; total, 31. 1911 -Killed by vehicles, 8; by trains, 19; by trolley cars, 19; total, 46. The price we pay for the mad rush to Get Rich Quick and Get Things Done in a Hurry is certainly high. By study- ing these mortality figures and taking thought of the High Cost of Hustle some of us might easily add to our length of days. SOUTH POLE DISCOVERED. Three expeditions started last year for the purpose of endeavoring to reach the South Pole -an English, under Capt. Scott, one German, and one Nor- wegian, under Capt. Raol Amundsen. Last week a despatch was received from Hobart, Tasmania, announcing that the Norwegian had succeeded in attaining the goal. Amundson reach- ed the pole on the 14th of December and remained there until the 17th. He began the journey over land to the pole on the 10th of February and met with few obstacles in his way. The surface was smooth and fine, crevices were local and found dangerous only in two cases. For the rest of the way there were long smooth undulations, and the weather was excellent with a calm or only light breeze. The lowest temperature met with was 49 below zero. Amundsen expected hurricane after hurricane, but observed only two moderate storms and the sanitary conditions were of the best all winter. Amundsen saw no traces at the pole showing that Scott had been there be- fore him. The pole itself was found at an elevation of 10,500 feet above the sea and on the return journey the party was at times 16,750feet above sea level. The party had full rations all the way both going and coming, and in return- ing made twenty miles a day. Part of the rations were made up of dogs which the party killed, 24 of these being used up on the journey to the pole. The dogs were fat "and proved most deli- cious eating." Eleven of the dogs sur- vived the whole journey and were car- ried back to the ship in which the party travelled over open water. Use borax in cleaning house.

"1 lu,k niton my recovery as nothing short of a miracle. I was for eleven years, constantly s: i' 'ring from Chronic Dyspepsia and Indigestion. I was treated by several doctors and they simply dill ore no good. During the latter part of my illness, I was so thin that 1 weighed only 90 pounds, and I vomited everything I ate. CORN SILAGE FOR FEEDING STEERS Angus cattle have for many years been a feature on my farm, because with stock 1 have always been able to rotate land, and consequently 1 believe [ grow larger crops of grain, writes a Minnesota farmer in the Ameri- can Agriculturist. When cattle are grown in connection with grain farm- ing it necessitates the raising of feed, and nothing is better than good corn. i have also a silo and find silage an excellent feed to fatten stock. No great precautions need be taken regarding protection or shelter except that breeding stock should have ac- cess to a warm barn. Feeders do well if they have shelter during the coldest weather or stormy periods. The feed- ers are given some grain, but I can The doctors gave me up to die as the stomach trouble produced heart weak- ness and I was frequently unconscious. I received the Last Rites Of The Church. At this time, a lady strongly urged me to try 'Fruit-a-tives'. When I had taken one box, I was much better and after three boxes, I was practically well again, and had gained 20 pounds.

If your la- t year's straw hat is still in existence, don't let it be cast into the ash -barrel when the spring clean- ing comes on, for you may need it. Straw hats are to cost more this year. The reason is that there is an enormous shortage in the Japan,se straw crop, a shortage of many million pounds. A vast number of straw hats are made in Japan, but this year the output will be much smaller than usual and the world will have to rely upon other sources, with the inevitable prices, It is said that the manufacturers will get 12 cents a hat advance on last year's pric- es, and of course this 12 cents will be multiplied before it gets to the con- sumer. So last year's straws are worth saving. Exit Four -Dollar Bill. The announcement that the Govern- ment will do away with the four -dollar note and give us a good five -dollar bill in its place, is welcomed by every- body. The four -dollar get-up has al- ways been a nuisance. It is so much like a one -dollar bill that it often passes out as one, and is therefore a source of loss -at any rate to the party of the first part. The reason for its existence in the first place, was that the banks objected to the Government putting out a five -dollar note -that was their special chartered privilege. On Sep- tember 30, the Dominion hau $6,439,427 outstanding in four -dollar notes. On November 30, only $2,813,515 was out- standing Thus nearly $4,000,000 had been "returned with thanks" to the Treasury in two months. All money does not look alike t', Canadians.

CAT minims CO., 1LW 701L hall Ilk imanoos_rall trioi, The grade Angus steer Victor, grand champion steer at the In- ternational Live Stock exposition, Chicago, herewith Illustrated, was shown by the Iowa Agricultural college. He weighed 1,610 pounds and sold at auction for 00 cents a pounds, or $1,440. He was two years, ten months and fifteen days old. This steer has been a winner in previous shows and was close to the championship In this show last year. He was sired by a pure bred Angus bull, and his dam was a high grade Angus cow. He has been fed during the past year on corn, oats and bran, with alfalfa hay and a run to blue grass pasture during the summer. fatten steers on silage morning and evening and timothy hay. Then 1 give the steers silage in the morning and evening, bay at noon. With this meth- od rapid gains are made, and they are tat enough for market at winter. To effect cheaper beef production the silo offers the easiest and most satisfactory solution, as heretofore the feeder has had to risk the chance of small gains through the high price of feeds as well us of actual loss through having bunchy steers, those with poor feeding qualities and others. A fanner states that be has actually made 0S cents a bushel 'ou his corn by feeding it with ensilage when the mar- ket price of corn was 40 cents a bushel. He says that every feeder of experience will testify that the most economical way to feed steers is to glvu them corn silage, ear corn, a few pounds of hay and linseed or cotton- seed meal. Then he should have two shutes to follow each steer. There is probably no building which can be erected on the farm at any- thing like an equal cost which will pay as big dividends as will the silo. Winter Care of Pigs. It is essential that fall farrowed pigs should have dry and reasonably warm sleeping quarters. Young pigs cannot survive the winter if housed in damp and poorly ventilated buildings. Ex- pensive buildings are not necessary, but a little attention to ventilation and a supply of dry straw will return a good dividend. Exclude drafts from the sleeping pen. Large quantities of bedding are not required, but it should be changed at least once- a week. In snowy weather it may be necessary to change the bedding each day, since the pigs will carry a considerable quan- tity of snow into their sleeping apart- ments. See that their beds are free from dust. Perhaps the best means of allaying dust is to sprinkle the sleep- ing quarters about twice each month with crude oil. This will aid greatly in destroying external parasites. It is desirable to have the sleeping quarters at a considerable distance from the feeding place, thus compelling the pigs to take the exercise which Is so essen- tial to their development and health. - Country Gentleman. Sheep Protection. During the winter months sheep should be well protected from storms of all nature. Severe cold weather does not greatly affect the body tem- perature so long as the fleece is dry, but in case the fleece becomes soaked the functions of the body are impair- ed. The flockmaster who is desirous of producing a high class of wool should guard against exposure of the flock to cold, wet storms. If particu- lar pains are taken to carefully ex- amine a fleece of wool immediately following recovery from a drenching storm it will be observed that the fibers possess n coarse, harsh, indeli- cate feeling, showing without further examination that the fiber has been injured.

There will be very general satisfac- tion, we venture to think, with Sir Wilfrid Laurier's announcement at the Graham banquet that he would continue to lead the Liberal party so long as the party wanted him and so long as his health continued. Canadians of every political creed freely concede that the "Old Chief" is one of Canada's most distinguished sons. Without question, too, his retirement or removal 'would not only cripple the Liberal party, but would impoverish the public life of this country and rob Parliament of its most picturesque figure. All this may as well be acknowledged while the sub- ject still moves among us. Not since the zenith of Sir John Macdonald's career has any Canadian leader gained, sueh a devoted personal following as has Sir Wilfrid. If there is any one thing which might reconcile Liberals to what they regard as the calamity of last September 21 it should be the effect of change of Governments upon Sir Wilfrid's health and spirits. What- ever be the explanation, whether relief from the onerous responsibilities of the Premiership, or pleasure in watching the difficulties of his untried successors, or merely that defeat acted like a tonic, certain it is that the Old Chieftain Looks ten years younger and acts twenty years younger. His spirits are buoy- ant, almost boyish. That he may long be spared in such health and spirits will be the sincere wish of us all. - Ottawa Journal, Conservative.
