Stock Raising in 
Western Canada 
is as profitable as grain growing. 
Successes as wonderful as those from 
growing wheat, oats, barley, and flax 
have been made in raising Horses, 
Cattle, Sheep and Hogs. Bright, 
sunny climate, nutritious grasses, good 
water, enormous fodder crops—these 
spell success to the farmer and stock 
raiser. And remember, you can buy 
on easy terms 
Farm Land at 
$15 to $30 an Acre 
—land equal to that which through many years 
has yielded from 20 to 45 bushels of wheat 
to the acre— grazing land convenient to good 
grain farms at proportionately low prices. 
These lands have every rural convenience: 
good schools, churches, roads, telephones, 
etc., close to live towns and good markets. 
If you want to get back to the farm, or to farm 
on a larger scale than is possible under your 
present conditions, investigato what West¬ 
ern Canada has to offer you.

AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Inflamed Skin 
What can I do for my cow? She has 
a scale on her udder; it looks as though 
it has boon scalded. o. n. 
Pennsylvania. 
As well as we can judge from your 
meagre account of the condition tho skin 
of the udder is in an inflamed state. That 
should soon abate if yon should apply a 
little benzoated oxide of zinc once or 
twice daily. Keep the stall floor clean 
and do not allow the cow to lie on dirty 
ground. 
Garget 
What can he the matter with my Jersey 
cow? For the 10 days her left front 
teat has milked dark yellow, but shows 
no sign of pain or obstruction, and the 
animal seems perfectly well and has good 
appetite. She is on pasture during the 
day. but is stabled at night, and fed about 
4 lbs. around mixed grains a day. 
New York. t. o. r. 
If the cow in question was purehased 
she probably has had similar attacks be¬ 
fore, and if so the affected quarter will 
in time be likely to lose its milk-secreting 
function. Germ infection is the cause and 
that may occur at any time. Better keep 
the cow separate and stop feeding grain 
or meals. Strip the affected quarter 
every two or three hours and twice daily 
rub in a mixture of one part each of pure 
turpentine and fluid extract of poke root 
and six parts, of melted lard »r sweet oil. 
Once daily give a. taWespoonful each of 
powdered saltpeter and poke root. 
Feeding an Orphan Foal 
I have a colt about a week old; will 
have only what we feed it now. Can you 
suggest anything better than sweet sep¬ 
arator milk? We are giving her about 
a quart at a time every three hours, and 
once in the. night. She drinks well and 
seems to be in good spirits. r. m. S. 
Vermont. 
.A new-born foal should have whole 
milk for the first three or four weeks. 
Choose milk that is poor in butterfat. 
sweeten it with sugar or molasses and 
feed it. blood warm from a sterilized ves¬ 
sel. If it. disagrees with the foal, mix 
two or threee tablespoons of limewater 
with each pint of milk fed daily. Give 
the foal a dose of castor oil in milk if it 
scours or is constipated. Set cool water 
where the foal can take it at will. In 
four weeks allow oatmeal and gradually 
add wheat bran. Make the change from 
whole to skim-milk gradually.

How Hooker Would Help 
to Solve Problems of Food 
Production and Distribution 
ELON H. HOOKER 
In response to inquiries as to just how he would 
help the farmers of the State of New York, to 
solve the problems which so seriously confront them, 
ELON H. HOOKER 
Candidate for the Republican Nomination for 
Governor, has issued an important detailed statement. 
Mr. Hooker has pledged himself, with the utmost zeal 
and in good faith if nominated and elected, to devote 
his best efforts to helping the farmers greatly to 
improve their condition and to bring about such 
changes as will accomplish largely increased produc¬ 
tion and a better system of distribution. 
Mr. Hooker’s Statement is as follows: 
By ELON H. HOOKER 
I have no ambition to be Governor of New York State 
simply for the privilege of holding that high office. I am a 
candidate because there is work to be done for the people of 
the State, and only the Governor can direct it. 
The most important problem that confronts the world 
today is to provide a full supply of food. This food must come 
from the farms. There is nowhere else to get it. The volume 
of food per capita is constantly decreasing, because under 
present conditions it does not pay to produce it. Other indus¬ 
tries pay better. In consequence people leave the farms. To 
secure a full supply of food, the production of it on the farms 
must be made profitable. This means that the methods of 
distribution must be reformed. Speculation in food must be 
eliminated and the costly breach between producer and con¬ 
sumer must be shortened. 
Someone must be selected to do the work required. Men 
must be chosen to do it who want to bring about this great 
change and who have no interests of their own in opposition 
to it. 
My family for several generations have been fruit growers 
and nurserymen in Monroe County and the Genesee Valley, 
so that I have been brought closely into personal contact with 
the practical problems involved. 
I offer myself for the place, not because I want the honor 
of holding the office, but because I want to work out the 
solution in the interest of the producer and the consumer of 
food. 
If elected Governor of the State, one of my first acts 
would be to confer with practical farmers themselves, to find 
just what they require and to place the agriculture and market 
departments of the State in a position to serve the best 
interests of the farm, and when these departments serve the 
farm, they will also serve all the people of the State. You 
cannot encourage the production of food without helping 
those who consume it. 
It must be kept in mind, also, that transportation is one 
of the vital problems to be solved if the product of the farms 
is to be marketed economically and profitably, and it would 
be my purpose to give this subject the attention it deserves. 
This is an important work. I will help and back any man 
who will intelligently undertake it in good faith. 
If you want me to do it, I am ready for the job. 
ELON H. HOOKER.
