We are frequently asked when post
timber should be cut to insure the

consensus Of experience shows that
post timber cut in July or August and
thoroughly seasoned before being used
will greatly outlast that cut during the

AS compared with the wage received

wage of the American laborer is on aSl
high plane. The most common unskilledN

than S1.75 per day, many Of them
working only eight hours and many
getting So. While few of the things
which such man will have to buy are
slightly higher in this country than in

such wage to have better food, better
clothing and better home than his
fellow workmen In any country on,

A marvellous development Of the
country is going on in western Canada.
Here is an empire Of the most fertile
soil on earth, specially fitted for the
production OF all our cereals, with the
exception of corn. There are condi-
lions Of soil and climate in that coun-
try which assure the most perfect de-
yelopmept of wheat. barley, oats and
fax, insuring such q yield Of these
crops as even the palmiest days of
the western United States have never
equaled. The news is abroad and is
verified that the first crop on these
CANADA lands will pay for the land
and all costs OF producing the crop.
This opportunity has much to do with
| the evident loss Of rural population in
the central western states, for it is I'M
possible to keep men out of country
where thirty bushels Of No. hard
wheat can be raised to the acre and
where the acre can be bought for $40
or SIS.

There Is a great reluctance to adopt
the wide tired wagon for heavy haul
ing on our dirt roads, and it grows
largely out of the fact that men, as
they run, have an ingrained dislike to
contribute anything toward the i'm
provement Of the roads when their
neighbors will not do their share. The
general use of the drag and the wide
tired wagon on all earth roads will
revolutionize them and keep them for
nine months in the year rs fine as any
asphalt pavement. We would favor q
specific tax on the use of the narrow
tired wagon, or, what would amount
to the same thing, q tax exemption on
all wide tired ones. The cities gener-
ally prohibit by ordinance the use of
narrow tired wagons on the streets,
and tires less than four inches in width
are seldom seen.
