HERE AND THERE.

AS soon as the weather begins to
turn cold and insect food becomes
scarce, an increased grain diet must be
provided for the growing turkeys. A
ration of wheat and corn is the best.
"A circular issued by the depart

ers to destroy the cotton stalks early
this fall as the best means of reduce

So many people, thinking it I'M

The most successful way to raise
stock is first to make a good pasture,
then select the best breeds; then grow
plenty of forage and grain; good shell
tiers and give close attention to every
detail of the business.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 Especially -
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure Of the little daughter of l. N.

sufferer for five or six years and moth

and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:

Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being q cripple per

Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism Is one Of the results of dis.

Uric Acid in the blood. IF the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's

ROYAL STORES OF POTASH,
The Only Known Deposit of the Ar
ticle Is Owned by the Ger
man Crown.

Although potash is an article in al
out the civilized world, few are aware
of the fact that the only deposits of
this chemical are found in the German
empire and constitute one of the chief
sources of revenue of the Teutonic royal
family These mines are located at
Strassfurt, 80 miles from Berlin. Be-
fore the mines were discovered the best
substitute that could be found for the
product was wood ash, such as the south
ern Plantations used in the old days
for making I've soap. The Prussian
mines are 81 in number, and were de-
voted to the production of salt before
salt rock was discovered.
When the new variety of salt was
given to the world about 40 years ago
the Prussian mines were temporarily
abandoned, and in few years search
for rock salt was instituted. The salt
was found, but in a badly adulterated
condition, and an analysis of the adul-
terant revealed the fact that it was the
most valuable part of the mineral. The
potash was at once turned TO use as
commercial fertilizer, and establish
ments in Kentucky and other southern
states take large proportion of the
production. 1t is an ingredient of the
material in which the Tennessee and
South Carolina phosphate is largely
used.
The mines are controlled by a syndi-
cate, and are under the supervision of
William emperor of Germany and king
of Prussia. They employ p 900 men.
and yield 1000 car loads day of pot
ash. Of the entire output IS per cent. is
used for agricultural purposes, while
the remainder is used for chemical pur-
poses. 1t is largely utilized in the cy-
anide process of extracting gold from
the ore.

ONE DOLLAR WHEAT.
Western Canada's Wheat Fields Pro
duce It-Magnifcent Yields-Free
Grants Of Land to Settlers.

The returns of the Interior Depart.
ment show that the movement of
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas of the United States. Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nlshed the Dominion with the main
bulk of its American contingent. Last
year, however, forty-four states and
districts were represented in the Off
clal statement as to the former resi-
dence Of Americans who had home
steads in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list. with 4,006 entries, Min
nesota being a close second with 1887,
but with the exception of Alabama and
Mississippi and Delaware every state
in the Union supplied settlers who, in
order to secure farms in the fertile
prairie country of Canada, became
citizens of, and took the oath of al
legiance to, the Dominion. Last year
no less than IL ,S41 Americans entered
for homestead lands in Canada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary, and
from ocean to ocean, the trek to the
wheatgrowers of the central MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, but the ranchers of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil of Ok
lahoma, are pouring towards the pro-
ductive vacant lands of the Canadian
Northwest. 1t is no tentative, half
hearted departure for an alien coun-
try that is manifested in this exodus;
it has become almost rush to secure
possession of land which it is feared,
by those imperfectly acquainted with
the vast area of Canadas vacant lands,
may all be acquired before they ar
rive. There is no element of specula-
ton or experiment in the migration.
The settlers have full information re-
specting the soil, wealth, the farming
methods, the laws, taxation and sys-
tenn Of government of the country to
which they are moving, and they real
lie that the opportunities offered in
Canada are in every respect better and
greater than those they have enjoyed
in the land they are leaving.
Canada can we'll afford to welcome
cordially every American farmer COM
ing to the Dominion. There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ
tainable for the development of the
prairie portion of the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au-
thorized Canadian Government Agent
whose address will be found elsewhere.
