THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.


A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. ]. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
81 met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the I'm
est land that lays on top OF
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing l took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and l am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres Of land
changed hands here in our neighbor-
hood this spring. When l located here
last Fall l was the furthest back OF
any of tho settlers, to-day I am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have SO children that are of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country
that is the way with everybody here
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing we'll. i have talked with a great
many men here and they told me that
they had less than $50 when they go'
here, and to-day they have got 16l
acres of good land and five or siz
hundred dollars worth of stock
Crops are looking fine here, I thinl
this will be good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has
small piece and it looks fine"

The question is frequently asked,
eat what age should sow be bred?"
OF course, some sows can be safely
and profitably bred at an earlier age
than some others. An experienced
breeder will know to judge each in
dividual case. Some pigs will develop
and mature much earlier than 9TH
ers and it is not profitable to breed
sow, before she has arrived at suf-
ficient maturity to properly perform
the functions of motherhood. So that
the breeders Judgment must be ex-
ercised and be his guide in individual
cases. To the inexperienced safe
rule would be to breed spring pigs
| to farrow at IL to IA months of age.
Fall pigs should not be bred to far
row under 10 months of age. As
stated, there win be individual cases
when this rule may be varied from,
but only experienced breeders can
safely take advantage of the excep-
ton.
The reason for allowing spring pigs
to be bred earlier than fall pigs is
that the spring pig has better op'
portunity for Quick Development
She starts into life with several
months of pleasant weather before
her and plenty of succulent food te
establish her constitution and pro
mote rapid growth. On the Other
hand the fall pig has long winter
to begin life with and usually yer,
circumscribed bill-of-fare, and 1t no
actually stunted, at least her devel
opment is not so rapid at the start

FARMING OPERATIONS
ARE DELAYED BY RAIN

Following is the Illinois crop bull
letin for the week ending May %:
The past week has generally been
favorable for the growth of crops.
The weather has been abnormally
warm and showery conditions have
prevailed most of the week. Over
much of the northern and part of the
central district the rain has been
heavy and has delayed farming oper-
atoms considerably. In few To-
calities the rain was 50 heavy as to
do considerable damage by washing.
In general, however, the results have
been highly beneficial. In the south
ern district the rains have been
lighter. and still more rain is needed
over most of that district and in
parts of the central district. In some
localities in the southern district the
ground is still very dry. In those
parts of the central and southern
districts in which the decidedly
drouthy condition was noted last
week good rains have fallen. Hail
occurred at few places, and caused
some damage. but the damage was
not serious. As Il result of the fav-
the week, the average condition of
crops, especially in the southern part
of the state, shows a decided inn
provement over that of last week.
In the northern and central districts
and in part of the southern district
the injury from previous unfavora BILE
weather has not been entirely re-
paired by recent favorable weather,
though there has been considerable
improvement. y few correspondents
report injury to the crop by chinch
bugs. \ great deal of wheat is now
headed. The condition of rye is gen
orally very good. AS Il rule the crop
of oats has improved decidedly dur
ing the week, though in parts of the
central district and over much of
the southern district the condition is
only fair. More rain is needed for
this crop in the southern district.
There has been some injury by chinch
bugs in the central and southern dis
tricts. Corn planting has been de-
layed by heavy rains in the northern
district. and i'm some localities con-
siderable of it remains to be planted.
In the central and southern districts
practically the entire crop is now in
the ground. The crop is generally
coming up to good stand and much
of il has been worked over the first
time. Cultivation has, however. been
delayed to some extent i'm the north
ern part of the state by wet ground.
Broom corn planting is progressing
under favorable conditions. Except
in a few localities meadows and pas
lures are in good condition in the
northern and central districts. In
the southern district the condition is
not so good, though there has been
some Improvement. Garden truck
and potatoes are generally making
good growth. The condition of the
fruit crop is very uneven. In some
localities it is good and in others
poor. In many places apples and
small fruits are dropping. The peach
crop is generally light. Considerable
injury to orchards from worms and
insects is reported

WEAK WOMEN
MADE STRONG

There is nothing more distress ng
in this world than the multitude of
ills and Weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. They are myraid in number
and as numerous i'm the characters
tics they display. Men, being differ
emily constituted. cannot understand
these female complaints and perhaps
they are not to be blamed for appar-
ent Indifference to them. But what
Is worse than to see young woman,
just in the budding process, tied down
by weaknesses, by pain Understandable,
by sensations mat drive the patient
almost wild. Thousands of women
have suffered in this way. uncom-
plainingly or complainingly, as
may he their nature. and
thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
womanly life until their hair is gray
and their steps enfeebIed by advanc-
ing age, they go through fortunes be-
side which those of the inquisition
were mild. In some cases they are
treated with the utmost sympathy.
Kind relatives and friends do all in
their power to alleviate the suffering
and To- make them forget their pains,
For such sufferers / have message
of comfort and method of escape.
Electricity and Natures remedies
are my treatment. / use nothing
but natures own methods. The hor-
rors of the knife and the scalpel are
rclegated to the background as being
no longer necessary.

For the human nervous system out
of order just as there is for the rail
way When the wires are down or
crossed or the battery * displaced
workmen do not begin pouring poison

ment / restore the nervous equilibrium
