A SENSIBLE LETTER.
A Western Canadian Settler Writes
to an Illinois Friend.

In writing to Mr.. T. Hawkyard, Of
Rockford, Ill, Mr.. G. Simpkins, of Lee
due, Alberta. Western Canada, land to
which points especially low rates are be-
ing quoted over all lines of railway),
says:
Dear Sir-Rec'd your letter the 14th
inst. We have had no snow till after
Christmas, and the cattle have been
able to live out, and are all in good con-
dition. It is showing now. That is
what we want-have about inches
now. The old settlers say when we
have lots of snow it means good crop
the coming season. 1t never drifts here.
The weather is calm and bright. We
do not have to dress any heavier than in
Illinois, and the horses never SILVER
with the cold when we take them from
the warm stable, as they do in Illinois.
It has not frozen in the stable this
winter.
The most of the stock runs out, but
there is no need of it, for timber is plen-
tiful and there is no expense to build
good stables and houses. We have good
log houses and they are very warm.
Two men can put up a house 1GN24 in
two days. There are good rails for
fences. We live ten miles from the coal
district. the price being so cents up to
$500. The land is very rich, loamy soil,
from 6 inches to several feet in depth;
the hills have the deepest. 1t is roll
ing country, and excellent for stock of
all kinds. Sheep do well, and there
are plenty of small lakes where the
cattle can get good water. The cattle
got out of grass last year, about the
less in charge of herdsman, we have
to fence against them. Wheat goes
from IS to 60 bushels per acre, oats so
and 80, very often a hundred. AS to pota.

dug 226 bushels, and no bugs. Roots of
all kinds do we'll. There are lots of

ries, where the fire has not burnt them.
Cattle are scarce. I have been trying
to buy some for months and have got
only three two-year-old, and paid $40
each. .".. a% ~--
Hogs are scarce, but can be got. They
sell for cents dressed, and cost more
for stockers. Wheat, 50 cents per bushel;
oats, 25 cents; eggs, 80 cents a dozen;
butter, Is and 20 cents; poultry was 10
and II cents dressed. Sheep are scarce.
If you come, bring your farm tools,
but bring no seeders; we use drills.
Bring cows, but do not bring horses
unless you are an experienced hand
in shipping; them, for so many of
them are hurt in shipping. There
will be plenty of work for binder.
Two good horses will break, but three
lighter are better. The horses you
get here can work without grain, but
are better with it. It will be hard to
tell what prices horses will be, for the
immigration will be very large the
coming spring. They could not be
had last spring at one time. They claim
the best time to break is June, but my
experience is to break in the spring
and work it. You can break till the
middle of July.

Keeping the Udders Clean.

Unless great care is observed much
dirt will get into the milk at milking
time One of the easiest ways to keep
the cows clean have found is to cut
the hair off the udder and around it
with a small pair of BARRIERS clippers.
It is much pleasanter to milk to have
this hair out Of the way, and it also
removes the greatest harbor for dirt
and filth. Then if any dirt becomes
attached to the udder or teats it is a
very easy matter to wash it off and
dry it without having a lot of dirty
water remain to drip into the pail,
which is the case when the hair is thick
and long.-National Stockman.

Rig PROFIT in Rape

Perhaps no single crop. outside of the
usual grain crops, has given so much
satisfaction as that of rape, and espe-
cially is this 50 where it is grown for
the feeding of sheep. Flockmast ers
who have sown a few acres of rape dur
ing the past year report the most sat-
isfactory results from its feeding; and
we look for much larger acreage to
be sown this year. We would advise
anyone who has few sheep to feed
to sow at least one or two acres Of rape,
and note carefully the results Of such
feeding this year.-Prairie Farmer.

PROMOTER OF NEWS SERVICE
Sketch of the Public Services and
Achievements of Baron Route
Who is Dying at Nice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Baron Paul Jules
Reuter-, who is dying at Nice, was born at
Cassel in 1918. The practical working of the
telegraph in 1S49 between Aix-la- Chapelle
and Berlin convinced him that a new era in
correspondence had arisen and in the former
town he established the first central organi-
cation for collecting and transmitting tele-
graphic news. AS the various telegraph
lines were opened in succession they were
made subservient to his system and when
the cable between Calais and Dover was laid
in 1851 Reuter- transferred his chief Office to
London.
Previous to the opening OF the office the
leading London papers had furnished to the
public scanty and incompleted intelligence,
which was produced by the rest Of the press
and Mr.. Reuter- to remedy this defect es>
tablished agencies in distant parts of the
world to supply news to him. The system
which he adopted of supplying to all the
papers Unfortunately the same intelli-
gence contributed greatly to the develop
ment OF the British press. Subsequently
the service was extended to cover the whole
world.
During the o-Austrian war and the
American civil war the Reuter- service was
OF notable excellence.
In 1856 Mr.. Reuter- reorganized his bust
ness on a limited basis and he continued
the management until 1878, when he re-
tired from active life. Mr.. Reuter-, in
1865, obtained from the Hanoverian gov
eminent a concession for the construction OF
a submarine telegraph line between Eng
land and Germany, which enabled a through
Geographic communication to be made be.
tween London and the principal towns OF
Germany. Mr.. Reuter- also obtained a con.
cession from the French government for
the construction and laying of a cable be-
tween France and the United States, which
was laid in 1869 and which was worked In
; conjunction with the Anglo-American Tele-
graph company. In 1871 the duke of SaXe-Co-
burg and Gotha, in recognition of his public
services, conferred on him the title of baron,
In 1872 Baron Reuter- obtained a concession
from the shah of Persia, by virtue of which
he obtained the exclusive privilege Of con-
structing railways, working mines and max.
ing use OF all the other natural resources OF
the country, besides farming the customs.
This immense monopoly, which Baron
Reuter- endeavored to render subservient to
British interests, met with difficulties
through the objection CT other nations and
the concession was a~nnulled in 1889, Baron
Reuter- receiving instead the concession OF
the Imperial bank of Persia.

A REMEDY.

Chronic Nasal Catarrh is often the con-
tinued development OF acute attacks. but
in most cases 1t Is caused by the careless
use OF the nasal douche. snuffs, washes and
other dangerous inhalents. Its horrible
symptoms. such as stopping of the ocse.
dropping OF mucous into the throat, sick
ness at stomach and loss OF appetite plainly
indicate a constitutional disturbance and the
necessity OF an internal remedy. No remedy

IINcrs Ahdrcss on MnshinRton.

CHICAGO. Feb. ga throng which
filled the Auditorium to the doors this after
noon attended the Union League clubs
Wa%shlngton's birthday observation. The
Hon. w. Bourke Cochran Of New York, the
orator of the day, was cheered frequently
and heartily throughout his eloquent adj
dress. After Hail Columbia had been
sung by the High school choir, under the
direction OF Prof. Katzenberg, the divine
blessing was invoked by Rev. w. Hamilton
Spence. THE Star Spanglcd Banner was
then sung by the High school chorus, after
which Mr.. Cochran was introduced AMI
said, in part:
Empires have been established and have
crumbled 10 dust; statutes have been writ
ten and have persisted from human civlliza-
ton, but the principles of justice estab-
lished by Washington and vlndicated by him
will abide to the end of time, marking a new
pathway for men to success, to glory and to
euduring prosperity. When we look at what
he has accomplished we are struck more by
his methods, more by the lofty purpose
which animated him, even, than by the re-
suits, marvellous as those have been. Before
Washington's lifetime 1t had become to be
accepted, most as an automatic proposition,
that failure and immortality were necessarily
blended and that success could hardly be
achieved without virtue; that national pros
perity raises a presumption oil turpttude, II,
indeed, 1t was not a conclusive proof of 1t.
Washiugton's contribution to civilization
has been the demonstration that virtue is
not an impeachment to success, but is the
stepping stone to it. Who today would re-
build English authority upon those colonies?
Who today would re-establish Spanish au-
thortty in the western hemisphere? Who
today would restore slavery in these states?
The achievements of this republic-the re-
public founded by Washingtou-are not de-
Tended by any ornaments. They rest today
secure upon their foundations, not through
the valor of soldiers enlisted to defend them,
but through the enlightened opinion of the
civilized world which approves them.

Remarkable Success of IA New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months or
years from the pain and inconvenience OF
that common disorder, piles, will look with
skepticism upon the claims OF the makers of
the new discovery for a cure of all forms Of
piles, known under the name OF Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the extraordinary
cures performed by this remedy are such as
to warrant the investigation OF any sufferer.
AS a case In point the following letter speaks
for itself.

Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile

or mineral poison OF any kind and because
II is so safe and pleasant TO use, being pain
