Farmers Review. Chicago July 20. 1908.
n Most Of the prairies In the. United
States have: ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, forests
and farm buildings. But. in Western
Canada the prairies still stretch grand
ly from horizon to. horizon as yet I'M
married by the hand of man, save
where.the iron road has beer: laid To
a city man there lis something de-
liciously restful about the vast grassy
s0litudes. =:
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine River, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance. =
Grass is one Of the notable things
about ALL the landscape of Western
Canada. It is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from its eastern terminus
to the Rocky mountains is over plains
where grass grows. The sage brush
appears at some points, but never to
the exclusion of grass. There is thus
not mile of this country that cannot
be used for some agricultural purpose
either for tilling or ranching.
Moose Jaw is town Of over 1000
inhabitants and one of tho most i'm
portant places In Assiniboia, being the
center OF very good farming coun-
try and a great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranchfng 60 hand in hand: for near
the town was seen herd of beef cat
tie several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of the
citizens in the town.
In riding. over. the prairies we saw
man: good fields of alfalfa. The great
need OF the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some OF the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of men
who last year cleared from their wheat
crop more than the land on which it
was grown originally cost them. This
is easy to believe in view of the large
crop and high price for wheat last
year.-Henry F. Thurston."

; Gentlemen heartily wish those
who are suffering from backache and
disturbed action Of the kidneys would
try Doan's, Kidney Pills. AS was tho
case with me, they will be more than
surprised with the results. I have been
troubled for years with my spine. I
could not lie on either side. Spinal
cramps would follow, and words could
not explain the agony which would
endure. While in these cramps could
not speak, or move, but by making
q great effort after the cramp had
left me could begin to speak and
move little, but my whole back; was
so sore and lame that could not even
have my back bathed for some time.
My nerves were in terrible state. 7
would rather sit up at night than 60
to bed, dreading the cramps and the
terrible backaches. consulted physi-
clans, but got only q little relief for the
time being. Seeing your advertisement,
my mother urged me to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. After using one box
was better, and have ever, since been
on the gain. I have no backache and
no cramps now, and feel like new
person. My nerves are better and I
know my blood is purer. Words can
not express my thanks to you for what
Doan's Kidney Pills have done for me.
In my work as professional nurse
have chance to recommend them;
and they did me so much good that I
will do so on every possible occasion.

Doan's Kidney Pills are sold at so
cents per box. Address Foster-Mil-

Eleanor. Where had she heard this

arose and the guests pushed back their
chairs from the table.
The man turned to the girl at his
side. She had risen and stood with
her head dropping slightly and her
cheeks burning.

Eleanor had been brought up with
puritanical rightly, and had she lived
in the time of martyrs would have
gone to the stake rather than tell a
falsehood. But her desire to win the
wager had somewhat clouded her moral
vision, and a white lie and a black lie
seemed hardly akin; In her twentieth
year she certainly had not reached the
age of spinsterhOOd, and she had never
taught school,; so she could see no
wrong in denying this charge. ..
For the next week she buried herself
in the library, where she delved into
dusty, dog-eared books and brought
forth nuggets of wisdom which she
slowed away in her memory for fu-
ture use.
One morning she startled her father
by presenting him with five dollars and
demanding share in his Dawson mine.
He mildly protested, but her persuasion
won, and she received the deed.
Eleanors appearance that evening
gave one the impression that she was
writing learned thesis. With flushed
cheeks and hair charmingly disheveled,
she eagerly studied the pieces Of paper
with which the table was strewn. Some
contained mining terms and statistics,
while others were finely written with
phrases and even sentences cribbed
from various mems letters.
The girl felt repaid, however, when
the next note arrived from the post
mistress. The writer wondered how
she had ever doubted that her CORES
pondent was man. "You must have

Notice t. HemnSfpadprS.

Several persons have inquired
whether or not it would be neces-
sary to establish residence on
their $40 homestead within the six
months as prescribed by homestead
law. Some have the impression
that an extension of time to es-
tablish residence was granted or
would be granted. We can say
that we have it from reliable au-
thority that no extension of time
had been granted to homesteaders
and thatitis not likely thatsuch ex-
tension of time would be granted
as was talked of recently in rela-
ton to the $40 acre homesteads.
Leniency may be practiced where
there are no contestants but it is
unsafe to assume that Uncle Sam
is going to make special law for
the benefit of those who want to
hold $40 acre homestead without
living upon IL.
