LETTER FROM ROOSEVELT.
Expresses His Views on Chinese Elk
cIusion and the Boycott.

eAss<S SstS ksSyS0SSs
San francisco, Dec. is. Responding
to communications from the Mere
chants Exchange Of San Francisco
President Roosevelt has written q let
ter in which he expresses his views
concerning the Chinese boycott Of
American goods and also the exclu.
sion laws. The president writes that
this government must do justice as
well as exact Justice; that Chinese
laborers should be excluded, but that
the exempt classes of Chinese should
be treated courteously. If the exclu.
sion laws need to be amended Amer.
lean merchants must exercise their in.
duence for amendment, he says. The
president adds that the immigration
department has acted with the utmost
harshness toward the chinese, the
fault resting ultimately with mistaken
public opinion.
In regard to the Chinese boycott OF
American goods the president says
that everything in his power and that
of the state department has been done
to stop the boycott. Anything fur.
ther," he continues, must be done by
your own representatives In the sen.
ate and house by way of making such
changes in the exclusion law as to pre-
vent the injustice and humiliation to
which the Chinese who do not belong
to the coolie class have been subjected

IN WESTERN CANADA.
WHERE MILLIONS OF FARMERS
MAY FIND HOMES.
-Four Territories With Sparse Popula-
ton Have Become Two Provinces with
Half-a- Million Peop1e-Best Agricu1-
tura1 Country on Earth.

When in 1869 the Canadian govern
ment paid $1,5O0,O0O for the extinguish-
ment Of the Hudson's Bay Company's
title to the whole of Western Canada,
embracing an area of we'll on to 2O0O,-
900 square miles Of land, that ulti-
mately will be used in the different lines
OF agriculture, there were wiseacres at
home as we'll as abroad who declared it
to be bad bargain. When again, in
the early seventies the government be-
gan the effort to build the Canadian
Pacific railway from ocean to ocean to
open up this country, some of the ablest
men inside as we'll as outside declared
the road would never pay, not because
they were not anxious to see the Domin-
ion grow and expand, but because they
had no knowledge of what nature had
done for the great West. They believed
at best that the soil was not good and
even if good, the latitude of the coun-
try precluded the possibility Of anything
like moderately successful agriculture;
but it has remained for time, but a short
period at that, to do the country justice.

FOUR HOLD-UPS NET SIS
Bold Highwayman Has Hard Luck in a
Mornings Work at
Oshkosh

Oshkosh, Wis, July pa bold thief
entered the saloon of John B. Haffner
early yesterday morning and at the
point of revolver forced the proprietor
to give up all the money he had, S15.
The robber had his face partially COW
cred with handkerchief. Shortly aft
erward the same man held up August
Gehbe. near his home on Bowen street,
but secured nothing. Almost immedi-
ately following the Gehbe hold-up the
highwayman met Charles Hahn at the
corner of Bowen and Washington
streets and ordered him to hold up his
hands.
Hahn, however, reached for his re-
volver and at the same time shouted for
help. This frightened his assailant and
he fled. An hour or two later the meat
market of Louis Genial, at Waugoo and
Bowen streets, was broken into and the
money drawer carried away. 1t con-
tanned no money, however. No trace
OF the robber has been found

The slanting manger is three feet
from the floor Of the feed alley and
leaves an opening at the top Of eight
cen inches, where all the feed is placed
in the feed trough, there being suff1-
cient room at A (say six tnches) for
grain, ensilage or cut fodder to pass
down, but hay, whole fodder Or straw
will not pass down, but will remain so
that the COW can eat them through the
bars (A).
The partitions between the cows are
three feet six inches apart, four feet
high and three feet six inches long.
There are no partitions in front Of the
bars (A) except twelve inches above
the bottom of the feed box, SO that the
cut feed and grain rations remain in
it's own cows manger. But the whole
length Of the hay manger is clear from
end to end, and, If wanted, any long
fodder can be distributed in it In good
shape The platform should drop from

inches.

GOVERNMENT CREAMERY AT CALGARY.

country. When, however, timber is not
available, an excellent quality of. coal
is always on hand. AS early as 1887
some $4,000 tons were mined, and this
was increased to 325,O tons in 1900,
which amount has been growing annual
ly. Although mining is but in it's in
fancy, enough coal has already been To-
Gated to do the whole of Canada for
centuries.
Wheat.
To turn again to the great staple Of
the country, wheat, we may remark that
year in and year out, the entire cost OF
production to the farmer, even if he
hires everything done from the ploughlng
to the delivery at the market, is set
down by a number of calculators at
$3.50 per acre. As the average crop Of
the country, year in and year out, is ~
bushels to the acre and the average price
60 cents, or SIP per acre, the profit to
the farmer is $3.50 per acre. If he
does his work himself he, Of course,
earns wages in addition to this profit.
These figures are very conservative.
The farmers who are living on small
overcrowded farms in other countries,
or even land they can, sell for $50, $40
or $50 an acre, should bear in mind $50
acres of better producing land, where
climate, educational facilities and ev-
erything else necessary for the farmers
welfare, can be procured in Western
Canada free of charge. Settlers are now
locating at the rate of 10000 a year
from all parts of the world. The testi-
monies of these settlers, which can be
got from any of them for the asking, are
all the recommend the country requires
to place it in a very few years in the
front rank of the populous nations of
the globe. 1t is already as prosperous as
any and the success of those who havs
ventured and won is all the assurance
that is necessary for the prosperity and
development Of the future.

Calves In Groups.

It is desirable to have calves come
in groups where a large number of
cattle are being kept and the calves
are to be raised for beeves. 1t is only
in this way that uniformity In size,
weight and finish can be obtained for
the car loads of cattle that are to be
sent to market. If there are but few
cattle it is better to have only two
groups Of calves, one in the spring and
one in the fall. 1t will be easier to
