CANADA's BIG WHEAT FARMS
Despite Slight Rainfall Enormous Crops
 Are Raised.

Canadian Letter in New York Times.
 It is a fact not generally known to the public, though well understood to the grain trade of the northwest, that in the new and far Canadian northwest, in province whose very name is a synonym for desola- tion, in Assiniboia, 900 miles to the north and west from the head of Lake Superior, are situated some of the largest and most successful wheat farms in the world. One of them, the Bell farm Is, without much doubt the largest connected block of land devoted to the raising of wheat to be found on the globe. This farm is owned by syndicate Of Englishmen, who have made it a sort of staking-out ground for their younger sons, and in so far as they nave been able, and have subsequently, wondered why their profits were no greater, though the yield of grain was so large, forgetting that these same younger sons had to pc provided for and that salary lists mounted up.
 It is named that Major Bell, the military manager of the estate, and has an area of ten miles square, or 100 square miles, of which 45,OO0 acres, or about three-quarters, is under cultivation. There is also the Bras sey farm, owned by Lord Rrassey, governor of Australia, and the Sunbeam, owned by the Scottish-American syndicate, besides many others of less importance, and sock farm of the Bell corporation nearly as large as its wheat acreage. These farms are in country which few years ago was the last stalking ground of the buffalo, and where the relics of buffaloes and of Indian battles are still thick on the ground. A few miles southerly from Regina is an alkli plain sixty miles across, that Is cov- cred with bones of buffaloes and Indians, the latter from the results of the last fierce battle of the Crows and Blackfset, not many years ago. All through this country piles of buffalo bones, some of them 300 to 1000 feet long, and perhaps 100 feet wide, and as high as a man could reach, have been gathered together and shipped east to fertilizing works.
 In this district, where for hundreds of miles the train passes no houses nor titled soil, where there are millions and millions of acres apparently as good as those that are yielding thirty to forty bushels of wheat to the acre, where those lands can be bought for from s2 to s per acre, with the best of rail facilities, the Bell farm people have been able to sell thousands oi acres this summer at $S to $10 an acre, and in one case the purchaser was subsequently enabled to turn his purchase of $40 acres al $25 an acre to an incoming farmer. This latter price, though it seems very high when the vast stretches of arabic and un- occupied land all around are considered, is not so high but that 1t permits good inter-

 follow any such methods as therein fact, they are not adopted anywhere else.
 Such farm as the Bell, with 45000 to 50000 acres under cultivation, and two- thirds of this immense land in crop every year, yielding at the rate of thirty bushels to the acre, gives crop of from 750, 600 to 90O.00O bushels of gra n But this crop is nearly 1000 miles from navigation on Lake Superior, where the wheat of the Canadian lands comes in direct competition for the export and eastern markets with that of the northwestern praires of the United States, the one at Fort William, the lake terminus of the Canadian Pacific, the other at Duluth, the lake terminus of the North ern Pacific and the Great Northern It costs 15 to 1S cents bushel to get this Can adian wheat on ship at Fort William for the 1.O0O-mile haul It costs to 10 cents to get the wheat of the Dakota farmer from the fields to Duluth, 250 to $50 miles, The Canadian Pacific is engaged in developing the country through which it runs. and it Is willing to bear larger share of the burden than its American competitors But this fall strange condition has prevailed and it is yet continuing. Wheat is worth with in to cents as much on these farms. 1000 miles beyond the jumping of place. as 1t is in Duluth, where buyers for the worlds food are consreGated. These far on farmers are now getting actually more money for their grain than are those of the Red River valley. 25O miles from one of the chief markets of the world. The dsnand from mills in Western Canada, those of the Ogilvies and others and their success in selling four in both Europe and the antipodes, has had much to do with this condition.

 The problems of farming in these great plains that stretch northwesterly 2,5OO miles from the head of Lake Superior, into latiture that further east is region of cold so intense that scarcely that any vege- ton, and have ruined many a man who has erally speaking, heavy, black loam, and amounting to but a few slight showers during an entire summer. It has been to preserve the moisture and to keep all the water that comes from the melting snows of the long, cold winters, and to do this a new method of soil culture has been inau- gurated. Fall blowing, so common and so much desired In the prairies of the DalSotas and Western Minnesota, Is said to be worse than no blowing at all, and nothing Is done to lands in crop after harvesting. third of the land under cultivation is allowed to lie fallow all the time, so that but two thirds is in crop in any one season. By such farming methods northwestern farm CTS are able to raise crops of from thirty to forty bushels of hard Scotch Fife wheat to the acre. The average yield in the Red river valley of the Dallotas and Minnesota Is about fourteen to fifteen bushels. and the average throughout the United States Is not far from eleven bushels. Condit ons as to soil and sometimes as to moisture are the same in the Red river valley as they are in the Saskatchewan valley of Assini- boia, but the farmers of Dakota and West ern Minnesota would consider it suicidal to

TIPPING ARROWS
 WITH POISON
RattIeSnake Venom Used by
 Western Indians.
REPTILE TEMPTED TO STRIKE
Chunks of Meat, Which Were Then Boiled, Extracting the Poison The Ammunition Factory
 of the Indians.

Before the white traders thoughtfully furnished the North American Indian with long-range rifles and ammunition the prim- itive bow and arrow was the red mans greatest protection against his enemies. To make the arrow more effective the Indian poisoned it's point. When white man was struck by enc of these, even If it made but a mere scratch, his life usually paid the for felt. The Indians did not always use these deadly weapons, but when on the warpath carried few of them to be utilized in the case of emergency. The intimate knowl edge that Indians possess of rotts and herbs served them well in some sections of the country, as they were able to distil a fatal vegetable poison. On the plains. however where there is no foliage, and, in fact no roots or herbs, the aborigine turned naturally to the snake to obtain his deadly ammunition. As rattesnakes could be found in thousands upon the plains, 1t was only necessary to collect the venom from the wriggling advance agents of death.
 The usual method of the dusky brave was to repair along toward the latter part of June or the early part of July to some locality where rattlesnakes were known to abound in large numbers. One favorite

ages believed that they had obtained a suf- ficiency of poison.
 EXTRACTING THE POISON.
 A fire was built quickly and an iron kettle produced. The impregnated meat was thrown into the kettle and boiled, trine of water having been added to it. until but a small residuum was retained. This if kept warm, remained in a liquid condition, but coagulated readily when taken from the fire. During the boiling of the meat, a duty of the squaws, it was frequently tasted as the aboriginies depended in some manner upon that sensation as to the prop CT time when the boiling should cease. Rat tlesnake poison is not harmful If taken in small quantities into the stomach. but it is not a pleasant sight, especially if one knows the contents of the kettle, to see a haggard Indian crone calmly lift the~iron spoon to her lips to taste this devils broth. The virulence of the poison was estimated by the Indians in accordance to it's effect upon some other animal. The Indian boys of the tribe generally caught few rabbits An incison was made in their skin suffi- ciently to draw blood, and drop of this decoction was applied to it. If the rabbit died quickly, with all the symptoms of snake poisoning the distillation was cor rect Should 1t take the rabbit longer to die or should the symptoms not be as vio- lent as the Indians think necessary, more boiling was required
 TIPPING THE ARROWS.
 The arrows, which in those days pos sessed, for the greater part, sheet iron heads, were arranged so that the tips re- -aained in the poisonous mass while coagu-
 ion was in process. When 1t was cool
 arrows were withdrawn, but the head was covered with a gelstinous sort of mat ter that meant death. These particular ar- rows. which formed only small part of the usual number carried by an Indian war rior, were placed in a separate culver, and the point of each missile, as far as possible, was kept wrapped in green leaves until the emergency came when the deadly weapon was to be used. There was little, if any escape for the victim who received one and those who shot the arrows acted much as the rattlesnake does after having made lucky accurate strike. The rattlesnake. after having bitten that which it wishes to destroy for food or otherwise, remains per fectly quiet, but keeps its eyes upon the victim Ten minutes have elapsed and the victim may have staggered out of sight be- fore the snake will begin to search. He knows that his work is done and all that he has to do is to look up the result. He rarely fails to find 1t. As a parallel, when the Indians were convinced that they had
