Dear Sir and Friend-We had a
lucky trip, made good connections and
got to Wetaskiwin Monday afternoon;
stayed there all night, bought a pony
and saddle for the boy and hired a
three-seated rig for the balance Of US
and got home to dinner next day;
caught the boys cleaning up and ge-y
ting ready to come after us. Wednes-
day the snow was all gone and we had
bare ground and bright sunshine for q
month and it has been pleasant wealth
or ever since. The ground is frozen
about two feet, and about six inches
of snow, just enough for good sleigh
ing. We had one cold spell in De-
cember. The thermometer went down
to 81 below zero, but we did not suffer
with the cold at all. We have worked
every day all winter. Are all we'll and
feeling we'll. Have built a log house
1Sx1s, two log stables 16x18, and are
now busy on a well. We have ten
cows, three other cattle and six head
of horses. The boys send their best
respects to Mr.. Huchison and say they
will talk to him enough to pay for not
writing when he gets up here. VIII
write you again next spring and tell
you all about the winter. We all unite
in sending you and family our best
wishes and respects and hope this will
find you all well. Yours very respect
fully,

Permanent P0sturea.

The easiest way that we know of to
keep permanent pasture in good condi-
ton is to stock it hard enough so that
the grass will be eaten before it throws
up a seed stock or becomes hard and
woody. and then give extra feed at the
barn so that the animals will return at
least as much fertility to the soil as the
grass takes from it. OF course manure
Or fertilizer may be carried out, and
spread on the pasture, but that costs
money. and Eastern farmers are often
at loss to obtain fertilizing elements
enough for their moving lands and Gull
tivated fields. If they buy feed to use
in summer when cattle are in the pas
ture, they hope to and usually do get
enough in the way of growth, fat or
milk production to pay for it, and look
upon the increased quantity and extra
quality Of the manure heap as an extra
profit. In this matter of overstocking
the pasture it is best done and produces
best results where there are two pas
lures, so that the animals can be changed
from one to the other about once a week,
Or as often as the feed is eaten down
smooth. This helps to prevent them
from gnawing so closely as to destroy
the roots, which they may do in some
favcrite spot if they are kept too long in
one pasture.

WHAT ASTONISHED THE SCOUT
Ostriches in South. Africa Are Often
Exceedingly Familiar.


Exceedingly Familiar.
The war in South Africa is productive
OF the greatest curiosities that have ever
come under the notice of British SOL
dlers. One of the latest reports from the
scene states that the simple minded Brit
ish soldiers have mistaken troops of os.
triches for bands of Beers and bands of
Beers for troops of ostriches In som,
cases the ostriches have made friends
with the soldiers. One of the best known
correspondents at the front, who was
with Gen. Methuen at the Modder river
reports this remarkable incident:
.While L ranged the valley or plain
with my glasses something slipped and
tumbled heavily over the loose stones be
hind me. l turned, thinking to dodge O,
help stumbling man, and found myselt
staring into the great brown eyes of al
ostrich q feet tall and with legs almost
as thick and longer than my own.
He came up here some days ago,
said soldier, and he always STAYS here
now. We feed him and fool with him
and he seems very happy The ostrich
stalked past me and took position be-
tween the major and the captain, where
after appearing to observe that they wer1
very busy scanning the landscape, he
too, stared at the plain and remained
erect and watchful, the highest type OF
a sentry in appearance. He married this

and swallowing box of safety matches
After that he. continued his sentry dut,
with satisfaction in his eyes"

NOStrilOSy,

,Nostrilogy, or nasology, the study of
character by the shape of the nose. is
said to be a new science-as new as other
things under the sun, at least. It GER
talnly helps out the telling palmist
and physiognomist to no small extent.
The apostles of this science claim that
every line and curve of the nose has an
important significance, and in it's relation
to the other features character stands
revealed. 1t is claimed that the nose
often blocks the way to success. This

my nose. and one day 1 consulted our
family physician in regard to an opera-

Lake of SulDhuric Acid.

1t may be difficult to believe in the
existence Of lake of sulphuric acid, but,
according to Tit-Bits, there is such
lake in the center of Sulphur island. off
New Zealand. 1t is fifty acres in extent,
about twelve. feet in depth and fifteen
feet above the level of the sea. The
most remarkable characteristic of this
lake, however, is that the water contains
vast quantities of hydrochloric and sui
phurlc acids, kissing and buhbling at a
temperature Of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
The dark, green-colored water looks par
ticularly uninviting. Dense clouds Of
Sulphurlc fumes constantly roll off this
boiling caldron, and care has to be ex-
crciscd in approaching this lake to avoid
the risk of suffocation. On the opposite
side of the lake may be seen the tremen-
dous blowholes, which, when in full blast
present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar
Of the steam as it rushes forth into the
air is deafening. and often huge boulders
and stones are hurled out to a height
of several hundred feet by the various

this connection that all of the stored SUI
gar was manufactured in the green
leaves last season. Now if those leaves
were eaten by the worms there would be
proportionately less sugar in the sap,
and III case the damage to the foliage
was really serious the sap will be of SO
low quality as regards sugar content that
it will not pay to tap the trees in any
case. On the other hand, if there is
enough sugar present to make tapping
profitable, then there is enough so that
the removal of the 2 to 4 per cent. will
not appreciably affect the tree.
1t is believed, therefore, that the SAT-
est way for one who is in doubt is to de-
termine the quality of the sap from the
trees, selecting several representative
trees and taking samples from these be-
fore tapping the remainder. If the sap
is of good quality he may safely tap. If,
however, it is Of poor quality-that is,

HIS OWN DRESSER.
How Lord Salisbury Appeared When
He Had no Valet,

he Had no Valet.
Our London correspondent supplies an
amusing and characteristic story of Lord
Salisbury. It is known that the premier
IS most careless in his dress. and that he
Is much too serious in his mind and oc-
cupations to have much regard for the
merely ceremonial side of life.
For, some years this failing produced
no evil results, for Lord Salisbury had a
faithful valet, who looked after him; but
one unhappy day the valet left, and
Lord Salisbury was reduced to his own
resources. 1t was levee day, and the
minister was in the midst of serious bust
ness up to the last moment. He rushed
home. turned out large bundle of uni.
forms, of which, of course, he has a
quantity. and took the first that came to
ms hand, with the astonishing result
that he wore coat that belonged to the
Elder Brethren of Trinity house, dep
uty lleutenant's pair of trousers and a
hat of the Royal Archers. Even that
was not the worst. He wore his garter
on the wrong. side, and things reached
their climax in the waistcoat, which.
dating from an earlier and less robust
period of his life. left between it and the
trousers what was once called. in the
case of another parliamentarian, "a
lucid lnterval.''-NeW York Commercial
