Achtng Joints

In the fingers, toes, arms, and other
parts of the body, are joints that are
infiamed and swollen by rheumatism
that acid condition of the blood which
affects the muscles also.
Sufferers dread to move, especially
after sitting or lying long, and their
condition is commonly worse in wet
weather.

THE oTTUMWA CoURIER: THURSDAY, july II, 1902.

81 per cent increase over that Of the
previous year. During the past year
the average value of the anthracite
coal as shipped to the market has
been S1.87 per ton, this being the
highest price that has been obtained
since 1888. In view of all these facts
it has been claimed that the operators
cannot afford an increase in the wages
of the miners, without boosting the
price asked of the consumers.
Have Large saIaried Officials.
Further evidence of the ability of
the coal companies to pay the increas-
ed wages asked by the miners is
shown in the sworn statement of John
Markle, who is we'll known to miners
in Ottumwa and Keb. Mr.. Markle is
the managing partner of the G. B.
Markle Coal Co., which operates the
large mines of the Lehigh region. His
statement is given in the records of
the state Of Pennsylvania in the case
of G. B. Markle VS.. Wilbur and in his
testimony given in this case he swore
that he had been appointed as manag-
er of that company with a salary of
$4,000 per year and that under his
management the company had clear
ed from 1890 to 1894, 100000. This
is taken by many and in my opinion
is another evidence that the demands
of the miners are just.
In conclusion would say that in
perusing the government reports OF
the years referred to by Mr.. Markle it
| is found that the value of the coal pro-
duced by the anthracite coal compan.
les was S1.51 per ton. If, then, the
Markle Co., which is one of the small
est in that region. made profit OF
100000, by selling its coal at $1.51 a
ton, it surely seems reasonable that
the larger companies, whose cost OF
production is necessarily less. could
make sufficient profit in 1901, when
the value of coal was S1.S7 per ton, to
meet the demands OF the miners

Of some of the cheap lands of western
Canada, started out on a 5,000-nlile tour
of inspection in the latter part of Febru-
airy. They went first to Winnipeg and
thence west on the Canadian Pacific to
Regina, whence they took teams to drive
south into the Milestone district, at the
invitation of the Canadian American Land
company. After inspecting that region
thoroughly they went on into Alberta,
stopping to inspect Medicine Hat. with it's

tions being somewhat different. They

generally SURPRISED by the growth and
general air of prosperity of all the towns

from Ped Deer to inspect region,
largely devoted to stock raising in which
many Americans have settled, land in
which there are spruce and poplar groves.
All through Alberta they were amazed at
the progress of settlement and the high
value already placed on lands near the
towns. Of this development they say:

- Other Hints.

Dominion government experiment farms
at Brandon. Manitoba, and Indian Head,
AssinibOia, have done a very valuable
work in throwing light on the possibili-
ties Of agriculture in western Canada, and
In pointing the way for the farmer to
adapt his methods to the peculiar condi-
tions that prevail in their regions.
The Indian Head farm discovered how to
raise wheat successfully in Assiniboia,
where the rainfall is light. It found that
the moisture was conserved and the best
possible use made of it by letting the
ground lie fallow every third year and
keeping it stirred UP during the summer
of that year. Crops raised in the two
succeeding years are so abundant that
the average for the cycle of three years
is often more than twenty-five bushels an
acre. This is now the universal success
full method Of cultivation in Assniboia.
Before it was resorted to the small rain
fall was a serious handicap, now it is
possible to raise good crops without a
drop of rain during the growing season.
Red Fife the Best.
The Indian Head farm has also ascer-
tanned by long course Of experiments
that the Red Fife variety Of hard wheat
is best adapted to the Assiniboia soil. In
1900, which was not good year, Red Fife
on the farm yielded 80 bushels and 20
pounds to the acre. The acreage for five
years, 1895 to 1899, was 81 bushels and %
pounds per acre. -@. .. '' >
Special attention has been given to oats
and the Banner variety has been found to
be the best Using fallowed land and
coed seed the experiment farm has Sc
cured as high as so and 100 bushels of oats
in ordinary years.
Experiments in grasses have indicated
that two varieties, Bronze and Western
Rye grass, are the best. These grasses,
besides having good feeding qualities, are
likely to be of great utility in affordng
old soil the root material necessary to
keep it from drifting in the high winds
and to check the growth of noxious
