Farming Very Successful.
BY Western or Northwest Canad

BY Western or Northwest Canada 10
usually meant the great agricultural
country west Of Ontario, and north of
Minnesota, North Dakota, and Mon.
tana. Part of it is agricultural prairie,
treeless in places, park like in others,
part is genuine plains, we'll adapted to
cattle ranches; part requires irriga-
ton for successful tillage, most of it
does not. The political divisions Of
this region are the Province of Mani
toba and the territorial district Of AS
s~iniboia. Saskatchewan, Alberta and
A~thabaska. At present. however. the
latter is too remote for immediate
practical purposes.
The general character of the soil OF
Western Canada is a rich. black, clay
loan with a clay subsoil. Such q soil
is particularly rich In food for the
wheat plant. The subsoil is a clay,
which retains the winter frost until It
is thawed out by the warm rays OF
the sun and drawn upward to stimu-
late the growth Of the young wheat, so
that even in dry seasons wheat Is q
good crop. The clay soil also retains
the heat of the sun later In the SUM
mer I'M assists In the early ripening
of the grain. II is claimed that Gull
tivation has the effect of increasing
the temperature of the soil several
degrees, as well as the air above 1t.
Western Canada climate is good
cold in winter, hot In summer, but
with cool nights. Violent storms Of
any kind are rare. The rainfall is not
heavy. 1t varies with places. but aver
ages about II inches. II falls usually
at the time the growing crops need 1t.
The Department of the Interior, OF
tawa, Canada. has agents established
at different points throughout the
United States who will be pleased to
forward an Atlas of Western Canada
and give sucn other information as to
That agriculture in Western Canada
pays is shown by the number of testi-
monials given by farmers. The fol-
lowing is an extract made from a let
ter from a farmer near Moose Jaw:
AT the present time I sixteen
hundred acres of land, fifty horses and
a large pasture fenced containing a
thousand acres. These horses run put
all winter AID come In In the spring
quite fat. A man with money judi
ciously expended will make a compe-
tence very shortly. I consider in the
last six years the increase In the
value of my land has netted me forty
thousand dollars"

will agree to any plan which the sec

The presidents policy Of public auc-
ton for Indian lands will work a rev.
olution in that particular industry,
for, while this plan has been tried
experimentally several times, the
policy OF fixing by act Of congress a

in operation for many years. Back

the interior and all his chief as

Representative Martin called at the
war department and secured a tacit
promise from officials that $120 600
would be expected from the general
fund at Fort Meade, S. d. The de-
partment will expend this sum as fol
lows:
Two sets of field officers quarters,
s24,0 four sets of line officers
quarters, $39, 900; two non-commis-
stoned staff officers quarters, $50, 600;
one double barracks, $50 900. The
working plans for these new build
ings at Fort Meade will be COM
menced very soon, and it is hoped to
get specifications in shape in early
spring and secure satisfactory bids
so that the actual work may be com
menced during the summer.

kural Delivery Carriers.

There has been large number Of
requests for information regarding
that provision in the postoffice appro-
priation bill affecting rural free dclir-
cry carriers. The exact wording of
this provision follows: ION and after
July l, 1904, letter carriers of the
rural free delivery service shall
receive salary not exceeding S720
per annum, and no other or fuller
allowance Of salary shall be made to
said carriers; and on and after said
date said carriers shall not solicit
business or receive orders of any kind
for any person, firm, or corporation,
and shall not, during their hours of
employment, carry any merchandise
for hire: Provided, That said car.
riers may carry merchandise for hire
for and upon the request Of patrons
residing upon their respective routes,
whenever the same shall not interfere
with the proper discharge Of their
official duties, and under such regula-
tionS as the postmaster general may
prescrihe." There was much discus
ion before this provision waS finally
agreed upon, but it is understood
that the senate will approve, and it is
likely to become law in its present
form. The house conferees will insist
upon this being done, if necessary.

The English Language.

No one can say how many words
there are in the English language,
because there are so many words OF
doubtful standing, says The Spring
field Republican. The ordinary En-
glish vocabulary may be said to con-
tain from 10000 to $4,000 words, the
latter estimate being large. No single
writer of literature has used so many
as the lower number named. Shake
speare, whose vocabulary is larger
than that CT any other English poet
unless it be Browning, used about
Is, 900 words, while Milton, whose
range was narrower, employed only
about half that number. The COM
mon estimate Of the average vocabu-
larry of educated people is from 5000
to 5000, but in this case the number
of words which are known but not
used is enormously Increased. A we'll
read college graduate should be fami-
liar with perhaps 10, 600 words, while
in the course Of year he might not
use 5000 of them in his writing or
conversation. Shorthand reporters find
about $500 word signs and contrac-
tions ample for representing the words
which are commonly used in public
speaking.

The Mormon Church.

The Smoot investigation has
brought the Mormon church and it's
revolving practices prominently before
the public, and mary people are
evincing an extraordinary interest in
the origin and growth OF a religion;
which permits Of gross violation of
the laws of social purity. The dis
gusting revelations which were a
feature Of the senatorial investigation
have caused many to ask: when
and how did this fostering sore first
take root in a Christian country? Why
is it permitted to remain here, spread.
ing its foul contagion among the
youth of cur countrY?" Those who
have made a study Of the history Of
the Mormon church in America tell
US that in the year 1923 1.-THE angel
Mormon appeared to an individual
known as Joseph Smith, and told him
that a record written on gold plates.
giving an account OF the ancient in
habitants of America, would be found
in the earth near Manchester, n. Y.
These plates, it is claimed, were found
in 1927 and placed in the hands of
Smith by an angel" The three wit
ue,ses vino are said to nave been pres
ent at the delivery of the plates after
wards quarreled with Smith and de-
clared that whole story was an infam-
Gus lie! The plates in question were
supposed to be inscribed with hero
glyphics in a language which Smith
claimed was Reformed Egyptian.
From this the text book Of Mormon
was dictated, and therein were placed
the odiouS doctrines which permitted
the practice Of polygamy under the
name of religion. This, in substance
is the story of the origin Of the Book
