separating Of grain. The grain Is
placed in the hopper in the usual man
ner and motion impaired to the driv
ing wheel, which causes the chaff
shoes and the air blasts to rotate.
The grain passes from the upper chaff
shoe into a second one directly below
through a sieve, all the larger parti-
cles Of dirt being thus eliminated. It
next passes to the screen directly in
line with the air blasts, and any dust
or dirt remaining is blown out by
one Of the air blasts the chaff being
discharged at the rear Of the machine.
The grain finally reaches the separa-
tor and is separated into two grades,
the larger grain remaining on the top
screen and passing off at one side Of
the discharge chute The smaller
grain passes through the upper screen
Of the separator on to a lower one,
and is deposited at the opposite side of
the discharge chute. Means are thus
provided for collecting and effectively
separating the grain from the chaff
and foreign matter, as well as separat-
ing the cleaned grain into grades.

security, without mutilating sashes,
has been looked forward to by all
builders and owners. Such perfection
seems possible in the safety window
lock shown here, invented by a Chi
cagoan. The lock consists Of ratchet
and lock, whose bolt, pressed by a
spring, is thrust into the depressions
or ratchets and prevents the raising
Of the window. The casing Of the
lock is made Of the hardest steel, and
the spring Of fine wire. It cannot be
broken by the use Of Jimmy, neither
is it susceptible by means OF a wire,
string or knife. Even when the glass
is cut and the burglar tries to manip-
ulate the lock through the opening,
he Is helpless, as his arms act as a
wedge between the sashes and pre-
vents their movement. The sashes
can be raised or lowered a few inches
for ventilation, but even then they
are safe from the burglar. When It
is desired to raise the sash to it's full
height it is only necessary to pull out
the spring bolt. It locks automatical-
ly and all danger Of forgetting to fas-
ten the windows before retiring is
thus entirely obviated.

The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.

The Spring Wheat Areas Rapidly
Increasing.
It Is only a few short years since
the impression prevailed that a large
portion Of the Canadian West was
untitled for agriculture. To such an
extent did this impression prevail that
districts larger than European princi-
palities were devoted solely to ranch
ing purposes, and f1ocks and herds
roamed the ranges. But the agricul-
turist was doing some hard thinking,
and gradully experiments were
made, slowly at first but surely later
on. AS a result, to-day in Southern
Alberta, which was looked upon as
the 'arid belt" large quantities of the
grown, and so satisfied are the farm
ers and buyers that the industry has
passed the experimental stage that
elevators by the score have been erect
ed in the past two years and others
are in course of erection, to satisfy
the demands that will be made upon
them in the near future.
Manitoba "No. / Hard" spring
wheat has achieved a world wide rep
Utation, and there can be no question
that ere long "No. 1 Hard" winter
wheat from Alberta will attain SINH
lar repute. The great market for this
production will undoubtedly be the
Orient, and, with increased railway
facilities and the erection of addition
al elevators and Touring mills, a large
~ increased acreage will be broken
to winter wheat. The increase of pop
ulation in Southern Alberta in the past
year has been largely due to settlers
from the United States, who have
brought in capital, and enterprise, and
who have been uniformly successful
in their undertakings. A few more
such years of growth and Turkey
Red" winter wheat will wave from
Moose Jaw to the foothills. Informal

Spring wheat belts can be obtained Of

FACIAL PARALYSIS
Nervous Distortion of Face Cured by
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills.


What appears to be a slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner of o severe
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
neglect the warning symptoms, but
should see that the starved nerves are
nOurished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to an extent that
renders a cure difficult matter. The
neryesreceive theirnourishmen through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr.. Harry Bemis, Of
Truthville, Washington county, N. Y,
substantiates this.
81 had been feeling badly for long
time" said Mr.. Bemis, land in the
early part of September, 1902, I was com
PEELED to Quit work on account Of my i'll
health. My trouble was at first ex-
IRENE nervousness, then my sight be-
came affected and / consulted an oculist
who said was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but got
no benefit. / tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild NV mouth
was drawn so I could scarcely eat and
one eve was affected so / could hardly
see l had very little use of my limbs,
in fact 1 was almost a complete wreck.
81 am all right now and am at work.
That is because followed my wife's adj
vice and took DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when it ap-
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me. They acted very surely in my
case; my face came back into shape and
III time l was entirely well"

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts Of the world.
There are hundreds Of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes in the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation of meats is simple in the
extreme, local slaughtering will long
remain a factor in the production Of
fresh meats and provisions.

these points are strictly enforced; lax
ity means dismissal.

Natures Way Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan of treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur-
sued by DR.. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that IS
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol, and
by skillful combination in just the right
proportions.
Used as ingredients Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark, Queens root, Golden Seal root,
BloodrOOt and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases Of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this UDIsCOv-
cry" is, therefore, a sovereign rem edy
for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writer's, of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure not only
OF the diseases named above but also for
indigestion, torpOr of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's
say-so alone as to this; what he claims
for his "DiScovery" is backed up bv the
writings Of the most eminent men in the
medical profession. A request by postal
card or letter, addressed to Dr.. r. V.

Swift & Company

Louis, st. Joseph, ST. Paul and Fort
Worth. The same methods Of purchas-
ing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail at
all cities. At Chicago, which is the
largest market, there are about two
hundred and fifty buyers, representing
packers, local slaughterers in various
cities, and exporters. Of this number.
less than a score are employed by
Swift & Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commits
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the commits
sion dealer, who accepts or rejects as
his judgment dictates. All buying must
be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and
the buyer must pay spot cash. If the
commission man has no satisfactory
offers, he can hold his stock over to
the next day. He gets his commission
from the farmer, and naturally strives
to get the highest possible price for his
client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator, but instead Of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang the
carcasses. Some Of the houses cost as
much as hundred thousand dollars to
build and equip. AS rule they are Of
pressed brick, the insides being lined
floor, walls and ceiling-with highly
polished hardwood. The floors are COW
cred daily with fresh sawdust and all
are kept spotlessly clean. There are
over three hundred of these wholesale
houses in various cities of the United
States, and the public is always well
come to visit them.
Packing Plants.
ALI the Swift & Company plants are
located at the great live stock markets,
in the heart of the great agricultural
sections, where can be purchased the
finest grades Of cattle, sheep and hogs.
We have seven packing plants, employ
ing at each from two to eight thousand
persons.
The following gives the locations
and sizes of the different plants.
