Haven't you known men-and even
more often women-who think they are
doing favor to their children when
they shield them from any effort?
When they let the girls sit at ease and
read while the mother does all the
housework? Those are not good fathers
and mothers. They are not kind, they
are simply silly.-President Roosevelt.

soME WONDERFUL CROPS In
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
Show Results beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
1oth.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agricul-e
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 toe
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting it threshed- The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way Il
new departure, with regard 10 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 a matter
of opinion, in which 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 a 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 abb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns areS given OF
crops of wheat running from 10 to As
bushels to the acre.
J. A Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
5000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average of 63 bushels per acre for .
large acreage.
W. r. Motherwe1l, of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
so acre field, an average of So BUSH
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. 7.
Hutchings threshed 72s 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.

no other way to get along with those
fellows. We did not do it in the spirit
of malevolence or for the mere pur-
pose of infiicting pain. But the water
cure is the quickest remedy for non
commupicativeness and mendacity
which has yet been discovered in the
Philippines. 1t is probably a relic of
the Spanish inquisition. It is certain

British force numbered 1000 men.
The Beers captured all the British
baggage. Gen. Methuen is retained
as prisoner. The text of Lord Kitch-
ener's dispatch announcing the cap
ture of Gen. Methuen is as follows:
Pretoria, March 81 greatly regret to
have to send you bad news of Methuen.
He was neovfng with 500 mounted men,
under Maj. Paris and 300 infantry, four
guns and a pompom. from Wynburg to
Iichtenburg, and was to meet Grenfell
with 1900 mounted men at Roviraines-
fontein. Friday morning early he was at
tackled by Delarey's force, between Tive
Bosch and Palmieteknill. The Beers
charged on three sides. Five hundred and
fifty men have come in at Maribogs and
Kraaipan. They were pursued by the
Beers four miles from the scene of the
action. They report that Methuen and
Paris, with the guns, baggage, ETC., were
captured by the Beers. Methuen, when
last seen was a prisoner I think this
sudden revival of activity the part of
Delarey is to draw off the troops press
ing Dewet.
In a second dispatch dated Sunday,
March 9, Lord Kitchener says:
Paris has come to Kraaipan with the
remainder of the men. He reports that
the column was moving in two parties.
One, with the OK wagons, left Twe-Bosch
at three a. m. The other, with the mule
wagons. started an hour later. Just be-
fore dawn the Beers attacked. Before
reinforcenents could reach them the rear
guard broke. In the meantime, a large
number of Beers galloped up on both
TANKS. These, at first, were checked by
the flank parties, but the panic and
stampede of the mules had begun and all
the mule wagons. with terrible mixture
of mounted men, rushed past the wag
ons. All efforts to check them were I'M
availing. Maj. Paris collected 40 men and
occupied a position a mile in front of
the OK wagons, which were halted. After
q gallant but useless defense, the enemy
rushed into the OK wagons and Methuen
was wounded in the thigh. Paris, being
surrcunded, surrendered at 10 a. Me-
