ONE OF OUR

The average yield OF wheat varies
under different conditions. In some
years the average has been over thirty
bushels. Once or twice II went as low
as eighteen bushels. At even the low
est average. with good prices there
are few industries that will give bet
ter profits. A late United States con-
sui. In one of his reports OF harvest
time. states that the entire labor OF
the region was found to be totally in
adequate for the task before II. The
wheat straw was so tall and stout and
so heavily laden with grain that the
work OF reaping and sacking was ex-
tremely exhausting. The strength of
the growing grain frequently broke the
reaping machines. and the utmost ex-
ertion OF strong men was required to
handle the great weight of the sheaves.
But while wheat is king In that re-
gio 1t is by no means the only cereal
grown. The oat. barley ard pea crops
are phenomenal. Oats Yield all the
way from 60 TO 90 bushels per acre.
In some cases they have been known to
exceed over one hundred. A delegate
who visited the country reports, One
hundred bushels of oats, and sixty
bushels OF barley per acre were COM
mon crops. In n case the oats stood
feet six Inches high, the heads were
1--WE feet six inches long. and each chaff
twelve inches long, and each chaff
case contained, not one but three per-
feet kernels"
Barley, as stated, yields enormous
ly. 1t is sought after by brewers ev-
erywhere and It brings several cents
per bushel more than that grown In
other countries. Peas yield splendidly.
They are extremely free from bugs
and grubs. Used in f%attening hogs and
for other feed, they are superior in ev-
cry way to corn. The absence of hog
cholera In this country is attributed
by experts to the excellent feed. corn
not being used. Corn can, however, be
grown, but wheat pays so much bet
ter that but little attention is given to
corn.
In roots and vegetables, II Is esti-
mated by all who have any knowledge
Of the matter in these products, this
region has no competitor. Ripe toma-
toes may be seen in profusion In the
middle of September. They have been
known TO ripen as early as the list OF
July. Displays Of roots, vegetables,
garden products are made at the agri-
cultural fairs that for size and quality
cannot be equaled at any of the fairs
in the United States. An Ohio gentle
man visiting one of these fairs said he
had never seen anything in Ohio to equal
1t. Three cabbages together weighed
one hundred and twenty pounds.
These were as solid and fine grained as
though they had weighed but six
pounds apiece. Prize potatoes, he said
weighed four pounds each; those
weighing three were so plentiful that
they attracted little attention.
Beets, carrots, turnips, etc. also

grow to an exceptionally large size.
| Watermelons have been known TO
weigh as much as seventy-fve POUNDS,
citrons twenty-five pounds.
Experimental tests Of different va
rieties of grains and roots ave been
made for the purpose of gaining infor-
nation as to their productiveness ana
usefulness. The results Of these tests
for three consecutive years are given
below:
In oats. OF twelve varieties tested, the
average yield at the Manitoba Expert
mental farm was rs bu., 20 lbs. per
acre; at the Northwest Territory's
farm the average was 90 bu., 20 IDS.
per acre.
In two-rowed barley. OF six varie-
ties, the average yield at the Manitoba
farm was AZ bu.. 81 lbs, per acre; at
the northwest Territory's farm Sc bu.,
rs lbs. per acre.
In six -rowed barley, six varieties,
the average Manitoba farm yield was
81 bu., / lb. per acre; at the North
west Territory's farm 80 bu., 6 lbs, per
acre.
In spring wheat twelve varieties, the
average yield at the Manitoba farm
was 80 bu., 28 lbs.,. per acre; at the
Northwest Territory's farm Al bu.,
Al lbs, per acre.
In potatoes, twelve varieties, the av-
erage at the Manitoba farm was 343
bu., 80 lbs, per acre; at the North
west Territory's farm 800 bu., 10 lbs,
per acre.
Wild fruits. Strawberries, raspber-
ries, c~urrants. gooseberries, grapes,
plums, cherries, and cranberries grow
in great abundance.
Dairying In all parts Of western Can
ada is a specially Important industry,
and has made great strides during re-
cent years. The butter which has
found its way to the east and the
English markets wal found to be of
excellent quality and In some cases su-
perior to its competitors.
Mixed farming pays well through
out the region. Horses and cattle
thrive well on the prairies. Almost all
classes of high bred cattle are to be
e Beef export Is very large, but 1t
Is now expected that the mining dis
trict Of British Columbia and the
Yukon will create a splendid home
market. The quality of the beef Is the
richest, and the cost of production Is
reduced to a minimum the profits are
very large. Frequently an animal will
bring from $50 to $50, which did not
cost the farmer or rancher more than
a few dollars. This is most especially
the case In the great rancbing district
Of Alberta, where the herds roam the
ranges throughout the year.
The country is peculiarly adapted to
sheep raising, and " is found very re-
] munerative.

TORTURE Of DEVILS ISLAND
France Is Slowly Learning Of the
Inhumanity to Dreyfus.
HIS Prosecutors CRlNGlNG.


PARIS, July 1.-THE cruel treat
ment OF Captain Drcyfus while he was
n prisoner on Devils island Is slowly
coming to light, and the ministers
who were most directly connected
with affairs on tho prison island ars
Bringing under the effect OF the cx.
posurcs
When Mime. Dreytus saw her huS.
band yesterday. he remarked, regard.
ing his trial anil condemnation: 81
was not judged; | was assassinatcd. "
The real story Of the horrors comes
from NJ. Clemonccau, who has gath.
cred evidence on all sides. lie says
Lieutenant Colonel Du Patty dc Cam
forged n letter In the hope, which was
realized, OF rendering the confinement
more rigorous, for he, like the others,
desired the death OF Drcyfus and
could not accomplish IL directly, Then
came the announcement o; Dreyfus'
attempt to escape. tho n great
ground on which the Imprisonment
might be brought 10 an end by suffer
ing aud death Minister Lcbon" immc'
diatcly cabled to put Dreyfus in irons.
There were no manaclcs In tho lslo
du Salut, AMI instead OF sending to
Cayenne for them the jailcr ordered
them made by his guards ont OF old
scraps of iron. such rs could bc found
readily. These rusty pieces were
beaten into shape before the prisoner
while he wa sick In bel with fever.
The guards could not dress down the
uneveness of the iron, and thus they
were put around the condemned mans
ankles The flesh was cut, and u,
every movement II was cut deeper OF
broken open in the places slightly
healed.
Alamp was put over his head, "to
see that he did not escape" IL added
to his torture by drawing over him
swarms Of tropical gnats and flies
which we're of themselves nearly sufi
cient torture to kill u criminal.
The wounds around his ankles ant
on his feet were not dressed and soor
became violently inlamed AMI con
stantly bleeding.
1t was under this torture that Cap
tain Dreyfus lived for two months
and only once did he ask why he wa
tortured or cry out for relief, and tina
was onc when the wounds wer
dressed.
Occasionally the irons were re
moved. Then, just as the wound
showed signs of healing, the iron
were restored.
Ohcc, when he fell from a sunstroke
they hoped the end had come, and h,
was taken by the feet and head an'
tossed upon a bench to die or recovcj
as best he might.

all embraced within the limits herein
described as western Canada.
A few words as TO the climate Of this
great country may not be out of place
right here. The climate of western
Canada, as described by those who
have lived there for some years, Is very
agreeable, and much preferable to that
Of the east. Disease is little known;
epidemics unheard Of. Winter extends
full three months, usually. There is
little change during winter. Frosts are
keen, but, the air being dry, a tempera-
ture Of 20 degrees below zero there Is
more bearable than 10 degrees above
in the damp and changeable climates
Of the east. Spring sets in about the
first of April. Some seasons, however,
seeding is begun early in March, the
snow having entirely disappeared.
Spring Is quickly followed by summer,
whose long days and cool nights have
a very beneficent influence upon vege-
tation. The growth Is more rapid than
anywhere known in lower ATTITUDES.
The soft maple has been known to
grow more than five feet high in a
single season. Autumn Is delightful.
1t extends into the middle OF Novem-
Der. SUOW sometimes UOes not Iall un-
til late in December. This gives the
farmer the opportunity of finishing
his threshlng, marketing his thousands
of bushels of No. l hard wheat, and yet
leaving him sufficient time TO put his
land in crop for the following year.
The wheat of western Canada Is known
to be extremely hard. The yield is al
so from 30 to 80 per cent nor than
in the states south. Of the boundary
line. There are natural causes for
this. The further you travel towards
the northern limits Of its growth the
better the quality of the soil. The rea-
son that II is better Is because the sub
soil, throughout the heat of the sum
mer, is kept moist at all times by the
slow melting Of the deep winter frosts,
the moisture thus maintained ascend
ing to the surface and ~nourishing the
roots of the grain. This stimulates
the growth, keeps the plant always
fresh and produces a bountiful crop.
Again, Just when needed. when the
heads are ripening, sunshine is longer.

hundred miles northward Of the Can
adam Pacific Railway. To the west
OF this vast territory lies British Co
lumbia with its innumerable rivers
rich in fish, its gold, silver and copper
mines and its fertile valleys capable
OF producing the choicest fruits In
great abundance. 1t is to that portion
of western Canada lying between
Lake Superior on tie east and the
Rocky mountains on the west that
the attention of the agriculturists
throughout the world is being directed
at present and IL Is to that district
they are looking for homes for them
selves and their children, and for the
solution OF problems created by the
overcrowding of population In the
older countries and the United States.
