A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town go
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. w.
Creamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1880 and settled on por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 acres.
In common with many others of
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market IA
cilities. In no wise daunted, by en-
ergy, industry and indomitable will
he has been able to surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success, and is known through
out the district as one of it's preemi-
nent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections (the
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy); 800, acres
of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off a crop of
500 acres of wheat and 200 of other
grains. Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Dreamer is, as has been
stated, a mixed farmer of no mean
proportions, having at the present
time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and
so pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being a barn IS
feet square on stone foundation
containing stabling for 16 horses and
a large number of cattle. The loft
is stored with 20 loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons Of hay; there is
also cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary, in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 5000
bushels of wheat. A crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are a
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house, pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is a hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions, in connection with it is a
wood shed. The water supply is I'M
excelled; besides house supply there
is we'll in the stables and a never
failing spring situate in bluff, which
! never freezes. Surrounded by thick
bluff of poplars, extending in a semi
| circle to the west, north and east,
the winter storms are broken and &C.
emulation of snow unknown. Added
to his farming operations, Mr.. Cream
er conducts threshing outfit for the
season. His success is only one in
stance of what can be accomplished
in Western Canada.-Baldur (Man.)
Gazette, Nov. 18th, 1899.
Thousands are going to Western
Canada this year to take advantage of
the free homestead laws that are be-
ing offered by the government.

Agriculture in Alaska.

Prof. Georgeson is experimenting
in the growing of different varieties
of cereals, forage plants, fax and
vegetables in gardens placed at his
disposal by citizens of Sitka. In spite
of late planting, oats, barley, pota-
toes, flax and a number of different
kinds of vegetables of good quality
were matured last year. Clover and
grasses made an excellent growth.
Useful data were also obtained from
these experiments regarding the eff
feet of different soil conditions on
the termination of seeds and the
growth of plants. Experiments SINH
lar to those being conducted at Sitka
were made at Skaguay.

means, however, more vigorous tree
later on, and the vigorous pruning
should be given, no matter how much
it hurts to cut the young growth back.
There is another important point to be
remembered in setting out young trees.
Probably more of these die annually
for want of sufficient moisture than
from any other cause. This is shown
by the fact that one rarely loses any
newly set trees if the season happens to
be very moist, while in dry seasons the
loss is apt to be very great. A heavy
mulching about each tree as it is set
will greatly assist in keeping the roots
moist, as will also a firm packing of
the earth about the roots when being
covered. If it pays to set out trees at
all, it will pay to set them out properly
and to care for them when set.-N. Y.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.
When Setting Them Out a Generous
Use of the Knife Il Advisable
in Most Instances.

When trees are taken up in the nur-
sery a great many of the roots are
broken off. The drying out incident to
transportation reduces the vitality of
the trees also, and so they must
be favored as far as possible by
vigorous pruning of all limbs.
The cuts show, first an average
tree as it comes from the nurs-
cry, and, second, the same tree
as it should be pruned when it is set
out. Most people are too much afraid

The cultivation of fruit trees along

issues before the people in the
coming national campaign. The
meeting was held IN the open air.
A high wind from the west chilled
everybody but the speaker, who
stood for nearly two hours bare
headed speaking with AZ much
vigor and fire as if the occasion
had been a summer evening. MIR
Bryan's speech covered all the
issues that he has placed before
the people in all parts of the North
and East.
His utterances on the silver
question were not received with
old time interest, but his remarks
on the policy of the Republican
parry since 1897 called forth ap-
pIause and laughter. His de-
nunciations of trusts were greeted
with mild approval and his dis
tinction between expansion and
imperialism reused the most eu-
thusiaSm of all that he said.

points. Mr.. Bryan left at mid
night for Columbus, Ga, by

The lest of q Tagal on the
charge of being a guerilla as re,

is said at the War Department,
marks the initiation of another
policy toward the insurgents who
still remain under arms; or rather
the development of the old policy
toward the logical outcome of an
unsuccessful rebellion. As the
summary punishment of guerillas
cannot be had until some action
has been taken to declare the ter
mination of the application of the
rules of war, it is assumed at the
War Department that Gen Otis
has already issued some kind of q
