4,73S,9S5 bushels; Belgium almost as
much, and France, Italy, Spain, Brazil,
smaller quantities.
The production of maize, or Indian
corn, in the Argentine Republic, while
it has been going on for many years, is
only now developing into a great in
dustry. 1t is just growing out of the
primitive methods that have been hold
ing it back and which still prevent
farmers from realizing much more than
half what they might. The results they
achieve are due to the marvellous fer
tility of the soil and the perfect climatic
conditions, which, in spite of bad meth
DDS, neglect, and general ignorance, give
bountiful harvests to men who would ut
terly fail in the corn belt of the United
States if they farmed as they do in Ar.
g%entina; and these men cannot long con.
tinue in this name where they are.
Every colonist wants at least 100 hec.
tares, equal to 247 acres, and sometimes
he succeeds in getting more. This is,
however, the usual limit for a family,
unless there are several large boys. The
rule on some large corn farms is that Is
squares or about 104 acres, shall be al
lotted to every a%ble-bodied working
hand. Farming as they do, a man can
work that amount of land in corr until
the gathering is upon him, when he must
have help or suffer heavy losses.
Most of these "colonists," or renters,
fare from the north Of Italy, and are very
Industrious and thrifty. They work and
live under conditions that would not be
endured by the poorest farm hand in
our country. Yet they have here a
chance that they could not have at home,
and most of them become well off in a
few years.
The italian renter builds a mud house
with a zinc roof, all the materials being
furnished by a patron" the owner Of
the land. Several hardwood posts are
set in the ground and small boards nailed
across the top. The sheets of zinc are
then spread over the frame for a roof,
with a slight pitch. Wire is tied from
post to post and cornstalks are woven
in, the wire holding them up Mud is
plastered or both sides of the stalks and
soon dries. A hole is left for a door, and
perhaps, but not always, a smaller hole
for a window, and the house is done.
Planting of corn may begin as early
as August Is, but generally not until
three or four weeks later, and 1t NAV be
as late as January IL, though generally
it is not considered quite safe to plant
later than December 20. On an Is. OOO-
acre place at San Jose de la Esquina
some planting was done as late as Jan
uary IL last year and a fair crop secured.
The early planted corn was ripe at the
end of January, but harvesting was not
commenced until the latter part OF
February.

end of the wagon box allowing half
OF 1t to project behind the box for
shoveling board to rest on; also make
1t long enough to project three inches
beyond the sides of the box for notches
in the side pieces of shoveling board
to hook over. Now get two old top
props off of an old buggy top (if you
have none you can get them of almost
any blacksmith for almost nothing)
and put on as in illustration. When
endgate is up the long part of the prop
should be bent down so it will not
come open; bending this rod throws
the elbow in direct line with the other
hinges which will hold endgates up.
Bolt brace onto the outside of wagon
box and mortice a hole through the
foor of %shoveling board on each side
against the side pieces; make hole
about one-half an inch wide and two
inches up and down. Now bore a small
hole through the edge board through
center of mortice and into the edge Of
the bottom board and drive bolt in. In
dumping corn, lower board, pull out at
bottom, and put on top of wagon box.
The hinged joints allow 1t to go uI

Billion Dollar Grass.

When the John A. Salzer Seed Co., of La
Crosse, Wis, introduced this remarkable
grass three years ago, little did they dream
It would be the most talked of grass in
America, the biggest, quick, hay producer
on earth, but this has come to pass.
Ayr. Editors wrote about it, Ayr. Col
lege Professors lectured about it, Ayr. In
stitute Orators talked about it., while in
the farm home by the quiet tireside, in the
corner grocery, in the village post-office, at
the creamery, at the depot, in fact wher-
ever farmers gathered, Salzer's Billion Dol
lar Grass, that wonderful grass, good for
5 to IA tons per acre and lots of pasture
besides, is always a theme worthy of the
farmers voice.
Then comes Brcmus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better permanent
hay producer on earth. Grows wherever
soil is found. Then the farmer talks about
Salzer's Teosinte, which will produce 100
stocks from one kernel of seed, IL #. high,
in LOO days, rich in nutrition and greed
lily eaten by cattle, hogs, ETC., and is good
for 80 ons of green food per acre.
Victoria Rape, which can be grown at 25c
a ton, and Speltz at zoe a bu., both great
food for cattle, also come in for their
share in the discussion. Tx. L.

GOOD SHOVELING BOARD.
For ScOOping Corn, Potatoes, ETC., In.
to a Wagon Box This Is With
out Equal.

A good serviceable shoveling board
to be attached to the farm wagon for
scooping corn, potatoes, etc., is made
as follows: For a wagon box "a or 26
inches deep make your board 30 inches
high ard just as wide as the outside
measure of the box. On each side nail
a piece of good tough plank six inches
wide at the bottom and tapering to a
point at the top, make these pieces two
inches longer than the shoveling
boards, allowing the projection at the
bottom. Two inches from the bottom
of these boards and even with the
bottom of the shoveling boards saw a
notch three inches deep from back side
of the board and split out to the bot
tom; next nail a 2x4 under the bach

One-half of the diseases which aff1ict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
%rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage of the
body.
A remedy that would act Immediate
ly upon the congested mucous mem
brane restoring it to its normal state,
would consequently cure all these
diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever
located, whether it be in the head,
throat, iangs, stomach, kidneys or
pelvic organs. Aremedy that will cure
it in one location will cure it in all To-
cations. Peruna cures catarrh wher-
ever located.

INTERESTING TO AMERICANS.
Western Canada Will Soon Become
the supply Depot for wheat for
Great Britain.

During the past year about 10000
Americans went from the United States
to Canada. Most of these settled upon
farm lands, and the writer is informed
by agents of the Canadian Government
that the greatest success has followed
the efforts of nearly all. To their
friends on this side of the boundary
line the fullest assurance is given Of
the prosperity that is in store for
them. There will always be a splen-
did market for all the grain, cattle
and other produce that can be raised in
Western Canada, and with the advan-
tages offered of a free homestead Of
100 acres of land, and other lands
which may be bought cheaply, an ex-
cellent climate, splendid school system,
educational advantages of the best,
what more is required. The husband
man gets more return for his money
than in any other country in the world.
On the occasion of Sir Wi;fred
Laurier's visit to the Corn Exchange,
London, Eng, Colonel Montgomery, v.
D., made several important statements.
"The function Che said which you
have just been assisting in connection

grain trade of Liverpool has interests
with Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When 1t
is borne in mind that 80 per cent. Of
the breadstuffs of this great country
has to be brought from abroad. you will
readily appreciate with what great sat
~lsfaction we view the large and steadi-
ly increasing supplies of grain which
are annually available for export from
Canada. and | challenge contradiction
when | say that of the wheats we i'm
port from Russia, India, the Pacific, and
the length and breadth of the United
States, none gives more general salts
faction, none is more generally appreci-
ated, than that raised in the Province
of Manitoba. We cannot get enough Of
1t, and it is no exaggeration to say that
there are before us dozens of millers
who hunger for it. This is not the
time to enter into statistical questions,
but we look forward with confidence to
the time at which, with the present
rate of progress, the Dominion of Cam
ada will have a sufficient surplus Of
wheat to render this country indie
pendent of other sources OF supply. I
think | may, with justifiable pride, re-
mind you that this is the chief grain
market ofnthe British Empire, and
through its excellent geographical po-
%sition, as well as through the enter
prise of its millers it is now the Sec
ond milling center in the world"

was to buy the best pew in the church.
When Sunday rolled around the Irishmin
