A Michigan Farmer Visits Sask atoon

MI. S. X. Lent was delegate sent
from the farmers Of Allegan County.
Michigan, to Western Canada to report
on the prospects for successful settle
ment. His report is as follows: went
from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence
east one hundred miles by wagon.
found the country in that vicinity a
rich. black loan, varying from twelve
inches to three feet deep; the crops are
simply something enormous; wheat
and oats by actual measurement often
standing five feet in height. l have
been farmer for forty years, and con-
slider myself a fair Judge of the yield
of grain and I saw wheat that would
yield so bushels per acre, and oats that
would yield 100 bushels per acre; not
one alone, but a good many. AS for
root crops and garden truck, in no
country have | ever seen their equal
for all kinds except corn and tomatoes;
the nights being too cool for these to
ripen well. AS stock country it has
no equal. East Of Edmonton, on the
head waters of the Vermillion river, l
saw hay meadows containing from 10
to 100 acres. the grass standing feet
high, and would often cut three to four
tons to the acre. From Edmonton l
passed through some fine locations.
namely. Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and 9TH
er points.
From Macleod I went to Regina,
thence to Prince Albert. PAT miles
north Of the main line. For the first
fifty miles is fine farming country, but
the next hundred miles is more of a
stock country. Then at Saskatoon,
Rosthern and Duck Lake found some
very fine farming country. SO good that
found party of Americans from
Minnesota buying land for themselves,
one party buying twelve sections, and
the other twenty sections of land for
themselves, which they proposed to i'm
prove at once.
I*have travelled over twenty-threc
different States and territories in our
Union, and never in my lifetime have
l ever seen such magnificent crops ami
especially as fine a stock country.

His arms spread parallel,
And ;hen his feet went in the air,
And with IN awful yell

And cracked it far and wide;
And bruised himself from head to foot
Until he nearly died.
We carried him into the house,
And laid him on his bed,

The doctor came with pills and squ'lls,
And looked both great and wise;
And said my fathers case was one

Without the least tlemur.

To Keep Burglars Out

The majority Of window locks are
Of no Falne when It Is desired to leave
the window partially open for ven
tilattng purposes, and in many there
Is no provision for automatically
locking the cash when the window
Is closed.
The lock illustrated below combines
both Of these features and makes II
possible to leave the window open a
considerable distance without fear
that burglars may gain an entrance,
as It is impossible to open the sash
beyond the fixed limit.
Secured to the inner face Of the up
per sash is q slotted plate, having an
enlargement at the lower end for the
entrance Of the head Of the spring
bolt mounted on the lower sash.
The head Of this bolt is slotted on
either side to allow movement In the
slotted plate. A spring at the rear
OF the casing presses the bolt toward
the plate, but when IL is desired to
lift the sash beyond the limit Of the
lock the wire spring shown at the

In calculating the position Of the ship
this invention is intended to serve

The apparatus consists OF a double

Two cables leading from the ship to
the "feeler" supply the medium

The inventor intends that three Of
these feele-s shall be used by a ship

with them a system Of projecting
arms for sending different signals
