J ' 1 ' -A r 3 v7 w J - V' I Tills is the Rrado of wheat that coptnred a $1,000 prize against world competition thrco years npo and recently won first priio and sweepstakes t the Wichita, liunsas, International boil rrouuctfl imposition. ONCE MORE the wheat ruised by Seagor Wheeler has brought distinction and fume to the llttlo town of Hosthcrn, Saskatche wan, on the Canadian Northern rail way, between Saskatoon and Prince Albert. For tho third time In three years has Western Canada wheat went aside all competition and cap tured the first prize. At the recent International Soil Products Exhibi tion held In connection with the In ternational Dry Farming Congress ut Wichita, Kansas, Seager Wheeler, of Itosthern, Sask., was awarded the first prize and sweepstakes for the best bushel of wheat. Be also took first for flax. Seager Wheeler Is the :lame man who throe years ago cap tured the Sir Thomas Shaiighnessy 1000 purse for tho best wheat ex hibited at New York against compe tition from all parts of the world. Seager Wheeler says he "breeds' wheat. He takes any new variety of grain or the best that he has grown himself In the past season and sets it out In trial plots. With the best grain so produced he sets out his fields, continuing his. breeding until he is satisfied he has prize wheat "Constant care and experimentation" is what Wheeler urges on those who want to raise good grain. Ills farm near Hosthcrn Is only a short dis tance from the Canadian Northern station and well worth a visit. A number of well known agriculturists from the United States have viKitcd Wheeler's farm and proclaimed the land to be equal to the highest priced lands In any part of the United Slates.

Instead, he spent four long, weary years In raising and harvesting crops on a 160-acre farm and feeding and milking 40 cows to make as much profit as his neighbor did In one year with half the cows, half the lands and half the labor.

YOU WANT THE breed of dairy cows, but It Is as Important to Improve the breed of farm horses and much less Is said bout tho matter. It Is surprising to learn that In Wisconsin, known a3 a dairy state, the horses of tho state are worth much more than the dairy cows. Efforts have been made In that state to Improve Uie breed of horses used, and a long campaign has brought the horses to a high Talue and efficiency. The first thing to do Is to dls- eourago tho use of scrubs as breed ing stock. This is difficult to do, for tho owners of scrubs are too often eager to employ every argument In their power to persundo tho fnnner to allow service from the mongrel The chief argument Is the low cost ef service. When tho farmer realties the In creased value of his stock when de scended from pure bred Btalllons, tho service cost Is Uie least of his troubles. With the use of pure bred animals for sires In New Jersey, the difference In selling value Is aptly Illustrated by tho stalomcnt of a fnrmer there. He laid: "After using a pure-bred aire, 1 find I can get 40 per cent more for my colts." Stick to One Breed. Thoro are somo things which the farmer should remember bofore he tali out to Improve his horse stock. He should salot't tho particular breed which he admires most, or which for somo other reason ha de cides to use, and stkk to that breed. XT ...... . . cm "aw UIIHHaUMIIEIYM.

If ho beplns with a Clydesdale Btnlllon, he should never chaiigo to anything else. For most farmers, the practical way Is to grade up by using the marea on his place for brood marcs, and get pure bred sires. Regarding til o choice of mares: Do not breed any mare that Is deformed, sick, diseased, vicious, un sound, a poor milker or a cross mothor. Select the brood mares cnrefully, taking Bound mares which have proved serviceable on the farm and which have the best material points. Do not breed to any sire which Is not purebred. Bnt this Is not the only quaNflrntton; tho stallion should be sound, muscular and pre potent. Do not make the mistake of picking out tho fattest stallion. Hulk 1b good, but It should not be fut. The stallion In Bhow condition Is not In the best breeding condi tion. Tho breeding stallion should be In good work condition; in fair but not full flosh; active, with good appetite; and never permit the use of a stallion which Is unsound, unsuitable for your purpones on the farm or partially impotont. Never out-cross to another breed. Shelter Mare. After breeding, seo that the mare- has proper shelter and feed. This may save scrubs.' Tho mnro with foul should have some work, but not too violent. She Bhould be favored but not spoiled. 10,000 EARS OF CORN The Crcum of 1,000 Acres of Oregon Washington-Idaho 's Blue Ribbon Crop Will Be on Competitive Exhibition at the CORN SHOW Held Under tho Auspices of Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Co. at WALLA WALLA, WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 25 TO 28, 1914 INTERESTING INSTRUCTIVE E NTERTAINING Lectures by Trof.
