1t is all right to do all in your power
TO increase the price of butter n

time talking about it that we owe
the grade of our products. The very
best way to bring up the value OF an

everybody will want it, no matter at
what cost.

REAL ESTATE I 0
Largely by Improved
Roads and TrolIeys, Both of
which scatter Population.

In our travels through many of b
medium-sized cities of the different
states, says Henry I. Budd. commits
sioner of public roads of New Jersey,
in his seventh annual report recently
issued, we have found real estate
men t~estifying that receipts from
rents of resident property near the
centers of these cities had declined
from one-third to one-half, While
property miles out in the suburban
districts was in demand and 1ncreas-
ing in value. They have invariably
attributed these results to the good
roads and trolleys. These are eVl-
IDENTIFY scattering populations, ana
will, no doubt, in the future relieve
the congestion of our large cities
People are finding that they can be
quickly transported to these distant
| sections, where they can have the
benefit of pure air and country sur
| roundings, with all the ennobllng IN
duences of nature. Road improve
ment, by which people can enjoy rap
id and smooth communication, prom
ises to be the problem that will settle
manv of the evils of III ~congested
cities.
The more the people who have
been inhabiting the thickly settled
portions of our cities, with only mar
row streets and miles of brick and
mortar to greet their daily vision,
learn of the uplifting tendency or
rural surroundings, the more they
will labor to take advantage of them.
They find country living much cheap
er. They find they can have gardens
to cultivate vegetables, fruits and
flowers. They learn that their chill
dren will not be subjected to the con-
terminating influences Of a mlseel-
laneous population. BY these aids the
e~nervating tendencies of overcrowd-
ed populations viii be arrested. The
state and nation, by the moral ano
mental improvement of the fam1lles
will be made very much stronger
Crime will be lessened. The expenses
of government will be decreased: II
fact. it is difficult to estimate the
benefits that improved highways are
giving to our different communities
Rural life becomes daily less and les:
isolated. Free rural mail delivery
follows the track of these hard roads
and thus the whole farm life il
brought in quick touch with all oul
great centers.
When improved roads become gen
eraI, the tendency to cluster in grea
cities will be arrested, and thu
honest municipal government b
made possible.-N. Y. Tribune.

An aluminium resonator to take the

Look out for sharpers.

Another trouble seems to beset to-
bacco growers. It seems that pur-
chasing agents visit the growers early
in the season and bargain for the en-
tire crop, provided it is merchant
able" When the time comes for con
summation of the deal the crop is de-
ciared not merchantable, and is eth
err not taken or taken at a reduced
price, and as the buyers have pre-
viously apportioned the territory, the
producer must sell to the agent in
question or not at all. 1t will be nee
essary for tobacco growers to get the
drop on these ~sharpers, and by some
mean circumvent them.-Farm and

Feeding CaIve. ON skimmilk.

Prof. D. II. Otis, of Kansas, in an
address delivered before the Missouri
State Dairymen's association, said: A
dairyman's herd of skim milk calves
is a very good index as to the char
acter of the man. Experience Of both
the experiment stations and up-to-
date dairy farmers shows hat calves
fed warm sweet skim milk, in clean
buckets, with access to corn or Kafhr
corn meal, bright hay, fresh clean wa
ter. salt, plenty of sunlight, shelter
and bedding in cold weather, shade in
regularity, thoughtfulness
and kindness in treatment, will usual
" be thrifty and gain from one and
one-half pounds to two pounds daily,
The dairyman who is unable to do this
is behind the times and usually behind
in his accounts. In other words, he
is a scrub dairyman.

AN "M. DIS" OPEN LETTER.

statement:
ST had Diabetes with all its worst

every prescription suggested in our

and I knew it.
sAs a last resort, and with scarcely
any faith whatever, / commenced tax
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills. In one week
I saw a great improvement. After l
had taken five boxes, 1 was sound AND
we'll. This is ten months ago, n l
have not taken any medicine OF any
kind since, and am convinced that my
cure is a permanent one.
AS a practicing physician with
years of experience, L o pos1tlFely
assert that Dodd's Kidney Pills are
the best medicine in the world TO-DAY
for Diabetes OF any other kidney
Disease. Since using them myself,
have used them in many cases IN my
practice, and they have never falled
ST am making this statement as a
professional man, after having MADE
a most thorough test of odd Md
ney Pills, and because I feel it my
duty to the public and to my protes
s1onal brethren. The truth can never
hurt anyone and what I have said 1:
the absolute truth"

THE ROAD TO FAILURE.
Farmers Who Don't Get Out of the
Rut and Stick to Antfquated
Ideas Surely Are on 1t.

The more a wagon runs in a rut
The deeper the rut grows and the
more difficult it becomes for the dr1v-
er to get out of it. There are nun
dreds of farmers in ruts, so to speak.
and each wear seems to weaken their
power or thwart their desire to get
out. The farmer who for Is or ~
years has been growing corn and oats
alternately on what he mistakenly
thinks inexhaustible soil is in a deep,
weIl-worn rut that slopes toward
hard times for hat farmer. He
ought to get out and travel on q
smooth surface. He ought to grow
more crops and live stock. He should
grow cowpeas and soy beans, rape
and sorghum, clover and vetch. n
will he do with them? Feed them
right on the farm.
Oats and corn have their place in
a rotation of farm crops, but a great
many farms in the middle west woulo
be much improved if given a rest
from these fertility teaches. Legumln'
Gus and forage crops must supplant
cereal crops TO a large extent in the
corn belt. The land demands the
change. Good farming approves 1t
Farmers must get out of the rut OF
be mired. The latter will be thelI
| lot if they continue the two-croE
system which they so long have beer
practicing. To avoid 1T is quite as
easy as to encounter it.
Without suggesting a complete pro
gramme, let us urge that you SOW
some cowpeas and soy beans this
year. Double disk some of your oai
land as soon as the crop is harvest
ed, harrow it well and drill in tn
peas or beans. At last cultivation O.
corn sow about ten pounds of clover
seed per acre broadcast amongst TIT
stalks. Try ten acres this way. Sow
some rape. Try some vetch. &c
more live stock on your farm. Fec

mentioned. Keep some good cows
Raise poultry. Grow fruit. Have sew
eral hives of bees. Be a real farme

WESTERN CANADA'S DECEM-
Der WEATHER EQUAL TO
THAT OF MAY IN MIN
NESOTA.
To Editor:

To the Editor:
Thomas Regain and C. Collins. of
Eden Valley, Minnesota, went out to
Western Canada last December as dele
gates, to look over the grazing and
grain lands that are being offered at
such low prices and reasonable terms.
This is what they say:
"Wearrived in Calgary about the goth
December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba,
we were surprised to find beautiful
warm weather at this point, quite equal
to what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace OF winter
to be seen, and the climate was really
| splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep
were running out, in prime condition,
with plenty of feed on the prairie, and
really better than that of ours stabbed
| in the south. We III impressed with
| this country as one of the finest mixed
farming countries we have ever seen.
The immense tracts of fertile lands,
well sheltered and abundantly wa
| tered. leave nothing to be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district In
| A~ssiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able to see, wheat yield
ing Is bushels, oats 60 bushels. Roots
were also good specimens. From what
we have seen, we have decided to
throw in our lot with the Yorktoners
satisfied that this part of the coun'
try will furnish good opportunities
for anyone anxious to make the bes'
of a really good country. Any agen'
of the Canadian Government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere II
the columns of your paper will CIV
you full particulars of the new dis
tricts being opened out this year II
Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly.

To Destroy Currant Worms.

Hellebore is the proper remedy.
Some sprinkle it or dry. That is
somewhat wasteful. The most eff
fective method of application is to
dissolve in scalding water and put a
strong solution, about a spoonful for
A pail OF water. It win not do to ap-
ply once only. The eggs seem to be
innumerable and the next day an
other swarm of the worms will APP
pear. 1t is not considered safe to use
Paris green on currant bushes; there
is danger that it may poison the
fruit. If dry hellebore is used in
abundance it would be better to
spray freely afterwards with pure
water and thoroughly cleanse the
bushes.
