development in Manitoba, Saskatche-

such as has never been seen

We 5000 miles of railway in

places the extent at 5000 additional

This means the opening up OF a con.

that in a very few years the agrieul-
tural wealth of the country will be
developed to such an extent that in

Cure for Whooplna Cough.

Irwin, Pa.-The mine cure for

them that not only was the crop a
good average one, but the quality OF
the grain grown was admittedly OF
the best quality. and more than one
of the visitors stated that although
the yield might have been larger, the
quality could hardly have been i'm

SUNLESS WINDOW.
PLANTS THAT WILL THRIVE
WELL IN THE SHADE.
The White Petunla Is a Good Winter
House Plant That viii Bloom
Profusely-All Palms Grow
in Shade.

The common white p~etunia makes
a really charming plant for use in a
shaded window. 1t is of the easiest
culture. For winter blooming II should
be planted in the early fall. Give it
moderately rich soil, Just enough wa
ter TO keep the soil moist, and a
weekly bath to keep it's foliage clean.
and II will bloom ~profusely.
When the branches seem TO have
exhausted themselves by the constant
production of flowers cut them back
to within a foot of the pot. In a
short time new branches will be sen
forth, and they will bear flowers of as
fine size and as great profusion as a
young plant would be likely to give.
No plant can be removed more easily
or with better results.
The fuchsia is one of tie most sat
isfactory plants for a sunless window.
If it is kept from blooming in the
summer it will begin to bloom as soon
as brought into the house in the fall.
Give it a sandy loan and frequent
showerings.
The Gala is a very satisfactory
flower to grow in the shade. Its great,
luXuriant leaves are attractive in
themselves, and when to these are
added the pure white beauty of the
flower it forms an ideal plant for the
sunless window.
The white azalea gives a vast
amount of pleasure If the room in
which it is kept can be regulated as
to heat and moisture.
To grow it well the air must never
be dry and warm enough to exhaust
the vitality of the plant. Fresh air
should be admitted daily, and the
temperature of the oom should be
kept low.
Begonias are particularly adapted
to a sunless window and bloom with
great profusion.
The rubber plant does well in the
shade. So will nearly all of the
palms.
The best ferns for the sunless win
dows are the sword fern and the
Pteris tremula.
Asparagus plumosus is another
plant with foliage as dainty as lace
in texture. yet having the merit of
standing heat and dryness of the at
m%osphere very well. 1t requires a
sandy loan, a moderate amour. of
water, and frequent showerings. 1t
is an especially decorative plant.

Western Canada has much cause to
feel down in the mouth because the
acme of its anticipations on the wheat
crop may not have been realized.
Taking me rear with another. that
country has demonstrated that il can
be depended upon as a great wheat
growing territory, and has to be reck-
oned with in the markets of the
world.
The yield in oats has been in
creased this year by nearly 1900. 900
bushels, the aggregate estimate being
75.725. 500. with the average at 41.2
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop Of barley is placed at $3.50. 900
bushels, which is a slight increase
over the total OF last year, or Gax the
estimate given is 600. 1874 bushels.

British battleship Dreadnaught, the
latest exponent Of the theory that fu-
ture wars will be with great battle
ships, heavy armament and huge guns,
will not fail to give intense satisfac-
ton to the British press and public.
This is because, for one thing, there
have been some anxiety and gloomy
representations that hte Dreadnaught
would not stand the strain of the ire
mendous discharge of her great broad
side fire, and also because the success
full surrounding Of her trials disproves
completely the rumors that there was
scamped and hurried work in the con-
struction of the battleship.
Even the eight gun saIvo, said by
those on board to have been terrifying,
produced no serious injury. No deck
plates buckled, nor was the blast dan
gerous, although there was some in
jury to the vessels lighter fittings. One
reason for this is found in the great
length Of her guns, which brings the
muzzles clear Of the ships side when
firing on the beam. The discharge Of
all eight Of the Dreadnaught's 10 and
