CHUM'S IHH1GBATHH
Increased by About Sixty Per
Cent in Past Six Months.
That Canada Is at war is now more
fully appreciated on this side of the
boundary line, now that the United
States has stepped alongside Its north*
era neighbor and linked hands in the
great struggle for a freer democracy
throughout the civilized world. As a
result of this a greater interest than
ever Is seen In the mutual effort to
develop both the United States and
Canada. Recently, Just before the
time that the United States declared
Its intention to enter the contest and
contribute of its resources to the de-
feat of the autocracy, whose design
was to permeate the world, Western
Canada made an appeal for farm labor
to till the fields and prepare the soli
for the crops of grain that were nec-
essary to feed the fighting forces and
keep up the requirements necessary
for the Allies. The responses were so
great that before half the tlm£ limit
expired, over six thousand laborers
were secured. This was not sufficient,
but once the United States was de-
clared to be in a condition of war, and
farm labor required here to meet any
exigency as to short rations that might
arise, the sister to the north, withdrew
from attempts, which might mean a
restriction of the farm labor supply
in the United States. But even with
this It is thought Canada will now be
fairly well supplied.
Apart, however, from the farm labor
proposition, It is gratifying from both
a United Stntes and Canadian point of
view that the Immigration of farmers
to take up homestead lands and to pur-
chase improved and unimproved Jand
in Canada, has shown such a wonder-
ful Increase in the past three months.
The great struggle for increasing the
food supply has a broader and greater
significance than ever. The food must
come Into existence, whether the rich
soils of the United States or those of
Canada be the factor.
It is altogether probable that the no-
tion of the Canadian Government "In
taking the duty off wheat going into
Canada, thus automatically lifting the
duty off that coming into the United
States, may not be responsible for an
Increased Immigration to Canada. Can-
ada’s reputation for growing larger av-
erage yields and a better quality of
grain, and on lands, many of which are
free, as well as those that range from
$15 to $35 an acre, Is an appeal that
is being responded to by farmers who
are now renting high-priced lands, is
another reason for expecting an in-
creasing number of farmers\from the
United States.
Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent of
Immigration at Ottawa, Canada, re-
cently gave out figures concerning im
migration from the United States,
which shows that the increase in the
past three or four months was 60 per
cent over the same period last year,
and Mr. Scott forecasts that during the
calendar year of 1917 there will be
over one hundred per cent Increase
and be much heavier than for many
years past. Mr. Scott declares that
already this spring more settlers’ ef-
fects have entered Canada than
crossed during the whole of last year,
and the movement has just merely
started.
The new settlers are coming from
numerous states through the ports of
Emerson, North Portal and Coutts, as
well as from Oregon and Washington,
through Kingsgate and Vancouver.
There arrived in Saskatchewan dur-
ing the year ending December 81, 1916,
a total of 8,136 persons as compared
with 5,812 during the twelve months
previous. At the same time nearly
twice as many immigrants passed
through the immigration department
at Edmonton, Alberta, in the last
twelve months as for the same period
Of the year before.
The number of settlers from Eastern
Canada migrating to the west also in-
creased. From January 1 to March 31,
1917, the number of cars of stock that
passed through the Winnipeg yards
was 750, as compared with 361 last
year. A fair estimate of the value of
each car would be about $2,000, which
means that the west has secured addi-
tional live stock to the value of $150,-
000 or more, during the first three
months of 1917. not taking into account
that brought in by immigrants from
the United States.—Advertisement.

a long time and the one in the ac-
companying illustration seems to offer
the desired convenience. The nose
bag is mounted on a somewhat rigid
frame and is supported from the up-
per and lower parts of the horses’s
collar so that It is held firmly in place
in front of the'animal and at the same
time gives the horse all the freedom of
liis head that may be desired. In ad-
dition to this advantage it also saves
feed for a great deal of valuable ma-
terial of this character is lost in the
endeavors of the animal to effect a
transfer of the grain from the bottom
of the bag to his mouth. This is gen,
erally accomplished by tossing his head
in the air and catching the grain in
his mouth.
FAVORS TWO UTTER SYSTEM
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Plan Are Enumerated by Expert
of Missouri College.
- A system of swine management
which is growing in popularity is that
of keeping on the farm a breeding
herd large enough to produce all the
pigs needed for feeding. The sows are
bred to produce, as nearly as possible,
two litters per year. Sows are usually
bred In November so that- the pigs will
be farrowed during the late February,
or early March. The pigs are weaned
at eight or ten weeks of age and sows
bred again for a September litter. The
practice of raising two litters a year
Is more or less successful but if three
litters are produced In two years, re-
sults are about as good as can be ex-
pected. The pigs produced in this
way are crowded from birth, and are
marketed at from six to eight months
of age, when they weigh 200-250
pounds. The advantages of the sys-
tem are listed by L. A. Weaver of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
1. Gains are put on young growing
animals. Such animals gain more eco-
nomically than older animals. 2. Maxi
mum returns may be had from money
invested in breeding herds. In other
words brood sows are kept busy the
whole year. 3. Money is turned most
quickly. 4. Twice as many hogs may
be fattened. The spring litter is fin-
ished and put on the market in the
fall and the fall litter is marketed in
the spring. 5. This method gives
minimum risk from hog cholera and
other losses since hogs are held on
the farm only, a short time.
The disadvantages of the system
are: 1. The system requires maxi
mum anlount of grain and minimum
amount of forage, and cheap feeds. 2.
Early spring and fall pigs require
more care than late spring pigs."

GOOD THINGS FOR THE HOME
TABLE.
Where there nre proper facilities for
keeping foods from one day to anoth-
er, much time and
labor mny be saved
by making a little
more than is neces-
sary for the meal
for which It Is in-
tended. Rice may
be served in sev-
eral ways so that a
larger quantity
may be cooked at one time.
Stuffed Egg Salad.—Cook four eggs
until hard and nfter shelling cut
lengthwise into halves; remove the
yolks and beat to a paste; add a ta-
blespoonful of chill sauce, two table-
spoonfuls of minced chicken and a tea-
spoonful of melted butter. When
blended fill into the egg whites and
nrrange on a bed of crisp heart leaves
of lettuce, pouring over a thick boiled
dressing; garnish w-lth capers and
slices of pickled beets.
Palatable Steak Ends.—Crop the
tough end of a porterhouse steak rath-
er coarsely; cook it in a little butter
with a sprinkling of pepper and suit;
add two tablespoonfuls of milk, dredge
with browned flour, toss it in a fourth
of a cupful of cream and serve with
baked potatoes.
Peanut Butter.—Shell and blows off
the brown skins from the nuts; rub-
bing them between two coarse towels
will help the process. Dust them with
salt and grind at once; pack into glass
jars or tumblers, cover and keep in a
cool place. Four tablespoonfuls of but-
ter is added to each pouad of nuts by
some, who consider it an improvement.
Rice Spoon Bread.—Take a cupful
bf corn, two tablespoonfuls of butter,
a cupful of boiled rice and two-thirds
of a cupful of boiled water, a cupful
of milk, two beaten eggs, one and a
fourth teaspoonfuls of salt, and n
teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat
well and bake in hot custard cups well
greased.
Hermits.—Soak a cupful of seedless
raisins overnight, then drain. Beat
half a cupful of butter to a cream and
add gradually one cupful of brown
sugar, one teaspoonful of milk, one
tablespoonful of molasses, two eggs
beaten light, the raisins and two cup-
fuls of flour, a teaspoonful of cinna-
mon, half a teaspoonful of mace, two
and a half teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, all well sifted. Drop from n
spoon and bake in n moderate oven.
More flour should be added if the
cakes spread in baking.

SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE.
Every spot of ground available
should be put into things for the ta-
ble this year, ns we are
constantly told to con-
serve every resource in
these times of stress and
high prices. The weekly
news letter published by
the United States depart-
ment of agriculture has
fln article by D. F. Hous-
ton the secretary of agriculture in
which he says: “Both for economic
and patriotic reasons the American
farmer should strive this year fo.r the
highest standard of efficiency in the
production and conservation of food.
But production accomplished hy waste-
ful methods does not make for effi-
ciency, and careful thought therefore
should be given to the steps that need
to be taken.
Every vegetable not used for the
table should he canned for winter use,
so that nothing he wasted. Even on
city lots a small hotbed may raise a
large quantity of table vegetables,
and a bed four feet square will
raise herbs enough to supply the
market with sage, mint, and various
savory herbs, for some time. Vacant
lots all over our cities are lying un-
used which should he put to work rais-
ing food for future needs. Different
soils grow different crops successfully.
The soy bean is a crop which is easily
grown on poor soil and the bean Is a
most nutritious one, which at much-
less cost takes the place of the navy
bean. It seems to need a little longer
soaking aud parboiling to soften the
coat, but otherwise it is cooked and
served as the navy bean. Our food
experts tell us that the nourishment is
equally as good as that of the navy-
bean.
Skim milk has lost very little of
its protein and may be used in the
place of whole milk in numberless
dishes at a great saving in cost. For
the use in bread biscuits cakes, milk
toast, cream soups, vegetable chow-
ders and various other dishes which
will occur to the thinking housewife,
skim milk may take the place of whole
milk.
When one is making a fruit or spice
cake stewed prune juice may be used
for the wetting and some of the fruit
with a few nuts, making a moat daint-
ily flavored cake.

hardened callus loosens so it can bo
