TO WREST WEALTH FROM THE HINTERLAND.
When geologists, mineralogists and prospectors all agree that Northern
Quebec has the richest bit of wealth producing land yet untapped in Canada,
it can be readily expected that there will be the next great gold rush. In
spite of intense winter weather thousands of gold seekers are already in
Rouyn Township seeking the precious metal. An unprecedented rush is pre-
dicted for the spring when the waterways open up. It lies just east of the
Quebec border and not far distant from the rich ore fields of northern On-
tario. The water route to the new field will be by a chain of lakes and rivers
from the head of Lake Temiskaming.

Study the Individual Cow.
From various experiments in feed-
ing dairy- cattle, and from observa-
tion made through the records of cow -
testing associations, it has been found
that good feeding will increase the
milk flow of the average cow from 251
to 50 per cent., says Mr. A. H. White,
Chief Dairy Promoter of the Domin-
ion Dairy and Gold Storage Branch,
in his recently issued pamphlet on
.cow -testing. To bring this increase
about, it is not sufficient for the
dairyman to know the requirements
of his herd as a whole; he must know
the necessities of each individual cow
in order that she may preduce the
most. This knowledge can be obtain-
ed only by keeping records of each
cow; but, as Mr. White points out, -----
Small Profit in Scrub Stock.
To secure quality and early matur-

added for economy), a goad pure-bred

it would pay most farriers to buy
such an animal now, or if not, to set
about making arrangements for the
use of a pure-bred bull in the spring.
If there is no animal of the kind near,

er has arrangements for overcoming
the difficulty, and will furnish infor-
