Marvellous Yields
on the Indian head.
Experimental Farm

The following yields were made last year
at the Dominion Experiment Farm:
WHEAT-n varieties tested; days to mo-
ture, 1903 to 1OS; yields ranged from 62 to 81
bushels to the acre.
BARLEY-SO varieties tested; days to ma
ture, So to SO; yields ranged from 50 to s.
bushels to the acre.
OATS-63 varieties tested; days to ma
ture, SO to 103; yields ranged from 100 to
17 bushels to the acre.
PEAS-57 v~Svieties tested; days to ma
ture, 1S to 11S. yields ranged from IS to 66

chance, but of intelligent cultivation. These
experiments show the possibility OF the
Saskatchewan soil under proper cultivation.

Big Money In Flax

The experience of the American
farmer I'm the Northwestern states for
the past few years has shown that it is
possible, in such a country as the
Saskatchewan Valley, for the farmer to
pay the entire cost of his land with one
fax crop. In this district yields of fax
bf % bushels an acre are common; and
at recent prices~the farmer can pay for
his land twice-over in the first year.

The Natural Home
for Cattle.

Cattle raising is one of the most i'm
portant branches of farming in the
Saskatchewan Country, the business
proving very profitable. The prairies
are covered with the most nutritious
grasses, that cure naturally on the
ground, which keep the stock in good
condition the year through. During
the past three years prices for all
classes of cattle have steadily increased.
With little feeding, cheap grain and
good markets, the farmer can raise cat
tie with a certain and large profit.

HOME OF TURKEYS SULTAN.
The Yildiz Kiosk A "Barbaric tumble
of Separated BuiIdings,'

The Yildiz Kiosk A "Barbaric tumble
of Separated Buildings"
A great deal of interest was aroused
recently by a book, published in Paris,
under the title of "The Private Life of
Abdul Hamid," in which the author,
who conceals his identity under the
pseudonym Georges Dotys," sketches
in details the DALI manner of life of
the Sultan from his birth to the pres
ent day. One of the chief features of
the book Is an accurate description of
the secrets of the Yildiz Kiosk, which
crowns the hill OF Beshiktash beyond
Pera, and in which the Sultan spends
a dreary existence as voluntary pris-
oner.
The Yildiz Kiosk is a barboaic jum-
BILE of separated dwellings, veritable
chaos of buildings without a trace of
any fixed idea On all sides one feels
that he is surrounded by the work Of a
fantastical mind, subject to uneasy and
contradictory Whims. There is a good
ly number Of European architects and
engineers in the Su!tan's service, but
that monarch esteems them just as lit
tie as he does the outside world gener-
ally. He renders their work extremely
difficult by prescribing for them a
number of the most curious precaution-
airy measures for securing the greatest
secrecy with regard to the work. All
details of plans, projects and of the
execution Of the work must be kept Sc
cret, as the Sultan fears that if they
become known the activity of fancied
conspirators might be stimulated.
These precautionary measures fire.
quently put the builders to sore straits;
thus, as a example it is forbidden to
measure the distance between two
buildings in any other way than by
stepping it.
The site of the Yildiz Kiosk is sur
rounded by an immense outer wall,
that the Sultan had renewed in part in
1898 and raised eleven feet, 50 that it
could not be scaled from without.
Leaning against this wall is a large
number of warehouses and barracks,
in which are lodged the regiments of
the Imperial Guard. Within the great
Enclosure are groups Of buildings. and
they are again in part surrounded by
walls. These buildings form of them
selves quite little town; they COM
prise the abode of the Sultan's sons,
the harem, theater, picture galleries,
museums, stables, porcelain works,
menageries, quarters for the dogs, con-
servatories, hospitals for sick animals,
and, in fact, almost evrything that can
render the Sultan independent of the
outer world

OLD HIRAM LODGE

Some three hundred members of Old
Hiram lodge No. 1, A. F. and A. NJ,
and number of visiting brethren
were present at their stated commune
cation Thursday evening, when the
work in the first degree was exempli-
fled. Among the visitors was Grand
Master Wheeler and the deputy grand
master of the Grand lodge of Connec-
ticut after the degree work had been
completed. The grand master and
deputy grand master made eloquent
addresses highly complimenting the Of
Ulcers of this old lodge for the very
able and correct manner they conferred
the degree and of the large number
who had Joined the order in this state
this year-one hundred or more each
in New Haven and Hartford; seventy
five in Bridgeport, and goodly num-
bers in other city and town lodges in

great and timely stress on the good
work being accomplished by the Ma
sonic home at Wallingford. 1t was

ed in gaining an audience are laid on
one side by the Sultan if it is a case
of receiving voluntary spies who are
able to disclose to him interesting Sc
crets. These spies are f1attered by the
orders which the Sultan gives that they
shall be treated with the greatest cour-
tesy. Thus the Sultan cannot keep
Yildiz altogether quite apart from Con-
stantinople.
Without reckoning the 5000 soldiers
of the Imperial Guard. there are more
than 1000 persons residing in the Yildiz
Kiosk, comprising the ladies of the
harem and their attendants, the slaves
and eunuchs, the Sultan's sons and
their servants, the chamberlains adju-
tants, bodyguard, musicians. garden
ers, cooks, grooms, servants, errand
boys, etc. In addition to the 1000 per-
sons mentioned above there are numer-

THE TROUBLE IN MACEDONIA.

The battle between the Macedonians
and Turks at Planina, near the Bulga-
rian frontier, will be sad news to the
civilized world. 1t is impossible for the
Macedonians alone to accomplish any
thing by entering into a conflict with
the Turks; but they will increase the
intOlerable burdens under which they
long have suffered at the hands Of the
sultan
1t is now over quarter of century
since the European powers made the
sultan agree, in the Berlin treaty, to
improve the condition of the Macedoni-
ans in the same way that he had
agreed to do for the Cretans. But he
did nothing in either case. The Gre
tans rebelled, and finally in that way
secured redress. The Macedonians be-
lieve that they will have to follow the
same course.
The Cratans were on an island, and
for that reason not entirely subject to
the merciless onslaughts of the sultan's
Mohammedan troops. Moreover, they
had assistance from Greece and else
where The Macedonians have no such
advantage, anu VIII De fuln1eSSly
slaughtered if they attempt to improve
their condition by use Of arms. The
Macedonians are entirely at the mercy
of officials and landlords who regard it
as no crime, but rather advantageous
to their future, to kill Christians. The
treatment accorded to them can only be
imagined from what is known of the
sufferings of the Bulgarians and Ar
1nenians, though Bulgarians were set
free by the Russians.
The Russian ambassador recently
suggested to the sultan the need Of re-
form measures in Macedonia, which is
interpreted as sign that the car is
willing to undertake to do his part in
enforcing the treaty of Berlin so far as
Macedonia is concerned. England and
Germany ought to be prompt to do
their part. But experience has shown
that national jealousies prevent coop
GRAFTON in such a duty. When the Ma
cedonians have been pretty we'll killed
off then perhaps something may be
done.--Philad elphia Press.

Much has been said about quail,
and the suggestion made that the
farmers should feed them through
the winter season when forage for
birds Is scarce and without assist
ance many die from starvation.
There Is no fault found to the sug.
gestion, but there seems to be lost
sympathy for the bright little farm
ers' pets. The trouble Is more
from the shot gun In the hands Of
the city expert hunters than lack
of food. The time Is not knoH n
when farmers were not friends of
these birds and were glad to pro-
tect them on their farms and In
their barnyards, either In summer
or In winter. City hunters, with
the necessary improved appliance
for bird destruction including sew
eral trained bird dogs. and by the
way, good for sheep, too, are the
enemies of the quail. and often kill
small game more for sport than for
gain. No fault Is found to legiti-
mate and manly sport, but ranging
over farms, killing insectiverous
birds, quail and pheasants, which
the farmers have raised and pro-
tected for months, is black knot
on city and expert hunters, and,
like the black knot of the cherry
and plum trees, should not be al
lowed on the farm This caustic
remedy may be employed when all
other remedies have failed, which
seems to be, the case at the present
time.
