SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain Is RIpening
and His Stock Growing Fat He Nay
Have Plenty of Shooting.


There is probably no country ON the
American Continent where the life OF
the farmer carries with IL that assur-
ance of comfort and success as Goes
Western Canada Nor is there to be
found anywhere else such a pleasant
combination. Game abounds every
Where and nowhere does it afford such
perfect amusement. A noted sports
man writing of the favorite pastime
says: There is one particular spot
where / saw a man drop seventy mall
lards one morning and bring them all
to bag, too. for they dropped in open
water or on fat prairie. At the right
season of the year you can sec black
lines and triangles cut sharply out
against the sky all round you, moving
very swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the prairie
chicken growing like barn-door fowls,
and a little to the northeast Is a bit
of marshy ground, cattle-poached AID
dappled with cleaning pools, where
the snipe are nearly rs thick as mos
Quitoes. A thin column of blue smoke
curling up in the distance shows you
where a few wandering Indians nave
pitched their camp, but there is no
other indication Of civilization in
sight Still, the neighborhood is we'll
settled, and short drive will bring
you TO a farmhouse, where you can
buy the finest butter and the freshest
eggs for uncivilized prices.
A very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer and
the lordly wapiti, the king of the deer
tribe the world over, and down on the
Nat, boggy land by the lake shores the
moose will stand knee deep In water
on the summer evenings ready to lie
down when the flies get bothering.
All day you breathe the wild free air
of the prairie, and at night you are
lulled to sleep by the surge and ripple
and splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the wierd
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
Particulars regarding settlement of the
lands of Western Canada can be had
from any agent of the Canadian gov
eminent, whose advertisement appears

Preparing for Trouble.

New York; June 4.--The Croker
Wheeler company is preparing for
trouble at it's extensive works at Am
pree, a suburb of Newark, N. j. The
500 employees of the company are par
ticipating in the general strike of ma
chinists for shorter hours without re-
duction of wages. The company has
decided to try to run it's plant with
non-union men. The first step was to
discharge every man who refused to
abandon the strike and return to work.
The next was to arrange for the en-
ployment of a force of non-union
workmen. 1t is when the first install
ment of non-union men is brought to
the works today than an outbreak
among the strikers is feared.

Sugar Beet Planting.

The sugar beet will grow on almost
any kind of soil that will produce good
grain crops If the soil be too alkali
to produce a good grain crop, it may
also produce sugar beets. the beets TAX
ing more alkali than grain. While fail
blowing is desirable in many localities.
spring blowing Is practiced extensive
ly. Old beet growers say that when
the land is to be plowed in the spring.
the blowing should be done only just
before the beet seed is to be put in.
In Colorado and the west, subsoilins
is advocated, and at some of the sta
tions decided gains in weight of beets
have followed its use.
Early planting gives largest crops,
but the planting may be as late as the
latter part of May. AS to depth OF
planting much must depend on the
nature of the soil and the amount or
moisture it contains. If the soil be
clayey, 1t is evident that the sowing
cannot be as deep as where the soil
is sandy. If the soil be naturally dry
the seed must be placed deeper than
1t should be where the soil is natural
ly wet Beet growers consider the
depth for planting beet seed on an or
binary soil to be from one to one and
half inches deep.
The distance apart to plant the beets
must depend on the system used in
growing them. Where beets are to
be irrigated the problem differs con-
siderably from the same problem in
localities where the natural humidity
Is sufficient for all the requirements
of the beets In humid parts the rows
can advantageously be placed about
twenty inches apart. In irrigated fields
the rows are often arranged so that
only every other furrow will need ir-
rgation. One eXperimenter, Mr.. Wat
rous, recommends double rows IL
inches apart, with "a inches between
each two rows and the next two rows.
Prof. Cooke disagrees with this to the
extent of advocating double rows IL
inches apart and q inches between
each two rows and the next.
There Is nothing fixed in agricul-
ture and there is nothing fixed in beet
growing. The amount of seed even
TO be used varies enormously, accord
ing to the man that does the beet
raising and the process to be followed.
There are two Numerically opposite
systems in vogue. One is to Plant the
seeds so that few beets will be raised.
but so that each beet will grow in the
! place where it is to remain. This is
expensive Of labor, though by ii good
| crops have been raised with three to
I've pounds of seed to the acre. The
| other practice is to SOW from fifteen
to twenty pounds of seed to the acre,
| produce n great number Of plants and
pull most of them up in thinning.
There is labor about this method also,
but it is more popular than is the
other, and is probably more prac-
ticable.

A Blaok.mltn'. strange Experience.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. L. AL
bertson, our leading blacksmith has
been a great sufferer from rheumatism
He was so bad that he could not sleep
for the great pain in his arms and
shoulders. He had been afflicted for
years, but lately he was 50 mucn worse
that he thought he would have to give
up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend Of his recommended new
medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills
said to be a cure for Rheumatism. He
commenced to use them, and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is a well man today, and
entirely free from any symptom Gi
Rheumatism.
To say that he is thankful, is putting
it very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodds Kidney Pills deserve credit
for having cured this very severe and
almost hopeless case
From recent reports, there does moi
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, rheumatism
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having
been given up by our best doctors.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Picksts ON Guard Near shop.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 4.-Machinery
manufacturing plants, practically idle,
with a picket line of workingmen
guarding approaches, give evidences
today of the extent of the machinists
strike in Chicago. Representatives Of
local papers visited most of the plants
on strike before starting time this
morning and found the workmen on
guard everywhere. The picket is run
in accordance with the military code
Each squad is in charge of a sergeant
while captain is on the ground con-
tinually to give instructions and see
that the picket is relieved at regular
intervals. The men are instructed not
to congregate in large numbers on the
street, headquarters having been pro-
vided in which to meet, discuss the
situation and wait until the time comes
for them to take their position on the
picket line.

Fred Rochelle, Negro, aged o.
who at noon on the 2sth, criminally
assaulted and then murdered Mrs.
spectacle white woman, of Barlow,
Fla, was burned to the stake in that
city on the night of the Goth. The as
sault and murder was one of the bold
est and coldest- blooded crimes ever
committed in Florida. On the day in
question, Mrs. Taggart went fishing in
small boat that she kept at the city
bridge over Place creek. This is in
full view of the public thoroughfare-
A few minutes before noon, desiring
to return home, she rowed her boat to
the bridge and made it fast She
started home and had proceeded only a
few steps in the swamp toward the
open prairie and thence to the street,
when she was approached by Rochelle,
who had been hiding in the swamp.
He seized her and she broke loose and
screaming ran from the swamp into
the prairie, where he overlook her.
After the assault, while she was pros
trate, he held her with his hands and
knees and taking his knife from hi
pocket, cut her throat from ear to ear,
causing instant death. He then took
the bleeding form in his arms and car
ried it back to the swamp, threw it
down, and escaped into the interior of
the swamp. After his arrest the pris-
oner was taken from the Jail to the
scene of the crime, chained to the stake
and saturated his clothes and some
wood with kerosene oil and match
applied. Fifteen minutes later moth
ing remained of the body but the char

S me orange-Growing Localities.

1t is stated on good authority that
the orange orchard area at Riverside.
California, covers thirty square miles,
or -, 200 acres, on which are growing
1890 orange trees. The money
value of the crop approximates &c.
100000 annually, or about 500 for
each man, woman, and child In the
district.
1t has been calculated that there are
in Italy 100000 orange trees which
yield on an average LOCO, 100000 Or
anges per year, or 800 oranges per
tree. In the province OF Sew lie, in
Spain, where the largest quantity Of
oranges is grown in Europe, the aver
age annual yield per tree is estimated
at 600 oranges. The island CT St
Michael, in the Azores produces on
an area of 2G5 acres 800 10000 or
anges, which are almost entirely ship
ped to England. In 1899 the total OK
port Of oranges from Spain excee led

GIRLS SOUL IN A PUPPY.
Singular Belief OF California Woman
Recently Boreaved.


Mrs. M. z. Halpruner OF Alameda,
CAL, believes that the soul OF her dead
daughter, Lillian May Halpruner,
dwells In the body Of little spitz dog
she possesses.
81 treat the dog as l would my own
child" says the mother with confident
affection. and she gives reasons for her
faith. A year ago. on her daughters
birthday, she had been told snow
white spitz pup was to be given her
by a neighbor. The white puppy ran
away from Mrs. Halprunner. In its
stead darted out and nestled to her a
golden haired puppy. At once l saw
my daughters gestures duplicated by
the dog, and, believer in reincarnation
that am, knew Lillian's soul had
come back. to be near me. The soul of
my daughter had entered the body OF
my golden spitz dog, Earl OF Glen
COVER, and l treat him as would my
child" At night this dog sleeps on a
slik-covered down pillow beside his
owners bed. "He puts his little paws
together for a few minutes in prayer
just as Lillian did" declared Mrs. Hal
primer. "Then he stretches his limbs
with just her motions, rolls his head
from side to side, and with child's
happy sigh goes to sleep. Yes, know
that my darling's soul dwells in his
body."-St. Louis Republic.

mercial relations dealing with United
States trade in France, Consul Brit
tain, of Nantes, notes the development
of the trade in American machinery in
western France. During the past
season, he says, about 500 reapers,
mowers and horse hay ralles arrived at
that port American mowers give
good satisfaction and the increased
prices asked for farm labor will stimu-
late the demand for such machinery in
the future. The American mowers
were common sight in the hayfields

Paris, June 4.-The toasts of the
emperor of Germany TO the French
army and the response by General
Bonnal have created an exceedingly
unfavorable impression in France, and,
in fact, in many circles the recent
events in Berlin have aroused feelings
of deep resentment. The Matin, in its

French army wants none of the Ger
man glorification.
