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

The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results Beyond Belief.
Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
l0.-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 sta
tlstical purposes. The reports are some
what delayed this year, owing to the
extensive crop and the delay In getting
1T threshed. The Department Of Agri-
culture is leading the way in q new de-
parture, In regard to the collection OF
crop statistics. In the older provinces,
crop estimates are based entirely on
the opinion Of persons interested in the
grain business who ought to be, and no
doubt are, well posted upon the prob
able yields. Still the reports are sim
ply a matter of opinion, In which a
mistake may easily be made. The Ter
rltorial Department, 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 galnsaid,
for they represent a compilation Of ac-
tual threshing results. In this connec-
ton, 1t might be mentioned that the
department is organizing a system of
growing crop returns, which will be
in operation next summer. The In,
formation thus obtained, with esti-
mated acreage, will be available for
business men, banks, railway com
panies, and other interests which have
to discount the future In making pro-
vision for the conduct of their bust
ness.
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 forty to
forty-fve bushels to the acre.
]. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed 2S,-
900 bushels of oats from $50 acres, an
average of 63 bushels per acre for a
large acreage.
w. X. Motherwell, Of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels Of wheat from n
50-acre field, an average Of SO bushels
per acre.
In the Edmonton District, L. T..
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels Of
wheat from a 10-acre plot, an average
Of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
S. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from GO acres Of land, an average
of 11G bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
Of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes OF the people to the great capabili-
ties OF the Western Canadian prairies.

A Noted Knight Templar
Owes His Health to Peruna.

Colonel Il. i. Moody, a prominent
knight Templar, is well known in every

Colonel Moody in the costume OF the Ori-
entail Consistory Masous, 32d degree.
In n recent letter from 5000 Michigan
avenue, Chicago, H., Mr.. Moody says the
following:
"FOr over twenty-five years I
suffered from Cafarrh, and for
over ten years 4 suffered from
cafarrh of the stomach terribly.
al have taken all Kinds of nredi-
CineS and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintaHceS are aware
i'm different parts of the United
States, where 1 have Travelled, bur
my relief was only temporary,
until a little over a year ago I
started to fake Peruna, and at the
present time I am better than I
have been for twenty years.
1.-THE soreness has left my stoH1-
ach entirely and 1 nm free from
INDIGESTION and dyspepsia and viii
say TO sH who are troubled with
cafarrh or stomach trouble of my
kind, don't put ii off and suffer,
but begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep III up until you
are cured, as you surely viii be If
you perseVere.
"My wife, as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with n bad cough
and bronchial trouble, and doctors all
over the country gave her up 10 die, rs
they could do nothing more for her. She
began taking Peruna with the result that
she Is better now than she has been in
years, and her cough has almost left her
entirely. The soreness has left her lungs
and she is as well as she ever was in her
life, with thanks. as she says, to Peruna.
Yours very truly,
T. L. Moody.
Catarrh in its various forms Is rapidly

BLOW TO ANTITRUST LAW
a Decision by the Texas Court OF
Appeals Favorable to Corporations.

Austin, Tex, April 5.--The court of
civil appeals has dealt a severe blow
TO the antitrust laws of Texas in af-
firming the case of the State OF Texas
against the Waters-Pierce Oil company
and the case Of the State OF Texas
against the Shippers Compress Ware
house company.
The court held in the case OF the
Waters-Pierce Oil company, which was
brought under the act Of 1889, which
held that 1T was unconstitutional to
o penalties and that the law con-
tains the same provisions as the Him
OILS act, which was declared to be un-
constitutional by the United States SUI
preme court. In the Shippers Compress
and Warehouse company case the court
holds h act of 1889 to be unconstitu-
tional. The decision in the case from
Illinois was held to be applicable.

How Joeko Carried Or tho Jam.

Baltimore Sun: A sweet little story
concerning q pet monkey n q pot of
Jam is vouched for by a Johns Hopkins
university man now residing on Nc
Culloh street.
1t was in the country and all on n
summers day the family monkey was
seen scudding homeward literally
drenched in raspberry jam. He was
pursued by an irate neighbor with up
lifted broom, bu once safe on the home
plat he swung himself lightly into the
nearest tree and peacefully listened to
her tale OF wrong.
II seems the neighbor had some hours
before been making Jam, a great bow
Of which sat cooling on a table beneath
the trees. This the monkey spied, but
had scarcely started literally helping
himself to II when he was discovered.
With loud cutlery and the broom the
lady started toward him, when the
mischievous beast, knowing his min
utes were numbered, hastily overturned
the bowl on the table. Then rolling him
self joyously in it several times from
head TO heels he scampered beyond her
reach. During the recital OF her woe
and I'm fact for the remainder of the
day, the monkey sat s%cooping the
sweetmeats from his body and licking
his paws with glee.

Weak and Sickly Children

Who, perhaps, have inherited a weak
digestion, continually subject to stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de,
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,
from two to FIVE drops, twice daily, most
satisfactory results will follow. 1t is the best
of all medicines, because it is made from the
formula of a great living physician.

More Factories Needed

What the Western towns need Is more
manufacturing industries. .
Take Unionville, Mo-, for example,
Ten years ago it was an ordinary coun-
try town: to-day it is the best town in
North Missouri, because In this town IL
located the Putnam Fadeless Dye Com
pany's factory, which annually manufac'
lures three million packages Of Putnam
Fadeless Dyes.
This not only gives employment to q
large number of men, women and chill,
dren. but it makes the ~posto6lce the best
paying office in North Missouri. The
mail from this firm alone runs from 50C
to 1000 letters per day.
1t also largely increases the express
telegraph, and railroad business, besides
indirectly benefting every business II

Peculiar to ITSELF.

This applies to St. Jacobs Oil used for
Fifty years. 1t contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the manu-
facturers and their trusted employees. Its
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified to by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made well and free from
pain by its use. st. Jacobs Oil has a record
of cures greater than all other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocations, oils and lini-
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved TO be the best,
