less Hands Were Tied-"Would
Have Died But for C~uticura."

my little son, when about q year and
. half old, began to have sores come out
on his face. l had a physician treat him,
but the sores grew worse. Then they be.
gan to come on his arms, then on other
parts of his body, and then one came o
his chest, worse than the others. Then
l called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about q year
and a half of suffering he grew 80 bad
to keep him from scratching the sores
and tearing the flesh. lie got to be a
mere skeleton, and was hardly able to
walk. My Aunt advised me to try CUT.
cura Soap and Ointment. ! sent to the
drug store and got n cake of the Soap and
q box of the Ointment, and at the end Of
about two months the sores were all well.
He has never had any sores of any kind
since. lie is now strong and healthy,
and I can sincerely say that only for your
most wonderful remedies my precious child
would have died from those terrible sores.

WESTERN cANADA'S
MARVELLOUS RETURNS.

The increase in the crop returns Of
the Canadian West, In the past seven
years, has approached the marvellous,
and there Is no reason to believe that
. corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The in
crease has been particularly noticeable
in what vas formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which. on
September 1, 1906, became the prov
inces Of Alberta and Saskatchewan.
From the official returns we find the
following results in the acreage sown

ntry during q like period,

The yield has been uniformly good
every year except 1900, when there ap-
pears to have been a slump all along
the line. This, however, was more
than compensated for in the following
year, when the bumper crop in wheat,
oats and barley put the returns OF all
previous years completely in the shade
and gave an impetus to settlement in
the west which has prevailed to the
present. as the following table by bush.

1t will be seen that the number Of
acres sown to wheat. oats and barley
in 1898 was 429, 749, and that this had
Increased in 1904 to 1,5S7,337. The
total crop in the cereals mentioned was
9.O33, 297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904
It had grown to the magnificent total
Of 35.413, 522. In the year just closed
the forward movement" in the agri.
culture Of the west has been the won
der and envy Of the world. New Sec
tions Of the country have beer placed
under tribute to the pillow and harrow,
and the grain area has been largely
Increased. This is particularly the
case where it has been demonstrated
that alberta Red" winter wheat may
be successfully grown, and along the
lines of the new railways towards the
center Of the country, where mixed
farming prevails.
The future Of the Canadian West is
assured, and for years to come 1t is
bound to be the land Of promise to the
agriculturist OF every nation and OF
every cline, and the land of oppor.
tunity to every settler within its

NUMBERING
IN ACKNOWLEDGES,
Ih's industry VIII Soon BE Fully De-
vcloped-Smnll Trees Should
Not Re Cut.

Figures which furnish the strongest pos
sible argument against careless lumber
ing are given by Edward A .Braniff of the
United states department of agriculture
in his report on the grades and amount of
lumber sawed from the ~Adirondacks.
hardwood numbering in the Adirondack
Is so expensive that as a rule 1t does not
pay to cut any but the larger trees for
lumber" says the report.
1T is highly to the advantage of the
lumberman to know just a. What diameter
limit his profits are turned into losses, and
it is equally to the advantage of the future
productive capacity of the forest that he
should know this. These figures prove
that the lumbcrman who would make the
highest profits out of the Adirondack hard
woods must cut within certain diameter
and leave in most cases a considera-
bic stand of timber uncut. With the grow
ing scarcity of timber and the advancing
prices Of lumber, hardwood numbering in
the Adirondacks soon will be fully de-
vcloped. 1t is evident, therefore,, that the
Adirondack lumbermen. IN taking small
trees, are working directly against their
own interests.
with the growth OF the tree the per-
contage of the good grades, first and sec
both heart ana sap, and comWons
combined increases steadily, while the
percentage of poor grades, shipping culls,
and mill culls falls off. For example, the
good grades of yellow birch increase from
13 per cent. In a l3-inCh tree to IS per cent.
in a 3l-inch tree; while the poor grades,
ties, drop off from Sc per cent.
to 40 per cent. between the same diam
eters. The decrease in the poorer grades
