SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which a mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent a compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
it might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
J. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average of 63 bushels per acre for
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwell, of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
a so acre field, an average of SO bush
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed 728 bushels of
wheat from ten-acre plot, an average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
s. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from 60 acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
Of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes of the people to the great capabil-
tiles of the western Canadian prairies.

A REBUKE FOR EDWARD.
Rev. Joseph Parker from His London Pull
pit SensationalIy Arraigns the Kings
Moral Conduct.

London, March s.-There was a
striking scene in the City temple
when Rev. Joseph Parker, the minis
ter, administered a pointed rebuke to
King Edward, which was loudly ap-
plauded by the congregation. Hav-
ing alluded to public houses as trap
doors of hell" DIR. Parker referred to
the kings recent brewing of beer
while visiting Lord Burton. pray
for me-" said the divine, "that I may
speak delicately, Loyalty. If the king
brews beer, what can be wrong in the
subject of drinking it? What the
king does is likely to be initiated by
others. His majesty is more than
a man and must regard all questions
from a kingly point of view. If the
king goes to Sunday concert, as he
did recently, he deals deadly blow
to the Englishman's Sunday. The
king cannot attend a non-conformist
place of worship, but he can go to a
Sunday concert"

bound the hands and feet of their vic

TOLD OF PUBLIC MEN.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
never eats a meal away from home
if he can help it.
Senator Hanna now has in his pos
session the pen with which Speaker
Thomas B. Reed signed the famous
Mckinley tariff act.
It is interesting to note that John
B. Milburn, of Buffalo, in whose
house President Mckinley was
tenderly cared for after being NOR
tally wounded by the assassin Czol-
gosz, is democrat of sufficient
prominence to be thought of by the
New York democracy as a candidate
for governor of that state.
Representative Frederick o. Mac
Cartney, of Rockland, Mass, a So
cialist, was elected to the house orig
inally on the Sunday fishing issue,
and, although clergyman, for three
years he has stood upon the floor of
the house in advocacy of his bill to
permit fishing on the Lords day.
The bill has met its third defeat.

FOR HER SISTERS SAKE.

Stendal, Ind, Mar. 10th.-Mrs Sarah
A. Shrode of this place says:
Il suffered much as many other
women do with Kidney and Bladder
Troubles. tried many medicines but
got no relief till I used Dodd's Kid
ney Pills.
Nine boxes of this remedy cured
me completely and I feel it my duty
to my fellow women to make this
statement.
81 can heartily recommend them
to any woman suffering with Kid
ney and Bladder Ailments"
The words of Mrs. Shrode will be
good news to many of her suffering
sisters. Dodd's Kidney Pills have
proven themselves to be sick wom-
ems best friend, for they are as eff
fectual in all cases of Female Weak
ness as in Bladder and Kidney Dis
ease.
