upon. This is less than was looked
for by some enthusiastic western peo-
pie, who maintained that increased
acreage necessarily meant an in
creased aggregate. Still, 10000, 900
bushels of wheat is 5000, 900 better
than what was looked upon last year
as a good crop, and we do not think
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 n year with another, that
country has demonstrated that it 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
1915, 800, with the average at 41.2
bushels to the acre. The estimated
crop of barley is placed at 16,9S0, 900
bushels, which is a slight increase
w the total of last year. OF fax the
estimate given is 690,184 bushels,
which is a material increase upon last
years figures.

for wheat, oats, and barley in West.

Wheat in Western Canada
A Good Crop of Excellent Quality Has Been
Raised This Year.

The grain crops estimates from the
Canadian West make a range of from
1900, 900 to lis, 0 $1,000 bushels, and
an accurate statement will be some
where between these figures-prob-
ably not far from 100000, 900 bushels.
This year a larger acreage was sown,
estimated at an increase of from IS
to 20 per cent, and had the average
yield of last year been maintained,
the aggregate would ~assuredly have
gone considerably beyond the 100000
900 bushel mark. The exceptionally
large influx of settlers was responsible
to a considerable extent for much of
the increased area, and, there can be
no doubt, is also responsible for a
part of the decreased average yield.
The first crop raised by the new set
tler-often ~unacquainted with the
conditions Of western agriculture-is
not usually prolific, and 1905-06 placed
a very large number of amateur farm
ers behind the stills of the plow; but
they will learn, and learn fast, and
with another season or two will help
to raise the average instead of de-
pressing it.
OF the estimates to hand, that of
the Northwest Grain Dealers asso-
citation is the lowest: Wheat, S7,203,-
900 bushels; oats, 75,725,6 600 bushels,
and barley, 16,9SO,6OO bushels. The
Winnipeg Free Press sent out five
special correspondents, who returned

lures.
In the last week of August a tour
of inspection was made along the line
of railway in the wheat area by the
Northwest Grain Dealers association
and a number of American grain ex-
perts, What they saw convinced
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
proved. Speaking on this point, Mr..
J. +. Whalley, the ~well-known wheat
nan of Minneapolis, said:

Make the Home Bright

Thousands of people in the larger
cities are compelled to live in apart
ments that have no sunshine and that
are almost as gloomy as caverns.
Some of these houses and apartments
have almost no light from without and
depend for cheer upon gas and cleo
tricity. In furnishing, the indispensa-
BILE requisite is choice of the right
coloring. Avoid deep reds, pale blues,
olive shades and neutral tints. White
and yellow, which would be too glar-
ing in the sunlight, produce an effect
of sunshine when properly used.
In the evening be profuse in light,
placing lamps in corners and wherever
they may make a spot of warmth and
brightness. A fire on the hearth
whenever the chill evenings make it
possible, is a veritable household fairy
in a sunless home. 1t may be only a
gas log, which has as it's recommend
alton convenience and cleanliness, or
it may be a driftwood fire or a fire
of soft coal. The latter, however,
cannot be absolutely recommended in
a room where the furnishings are very
dainty and delicate. Its soft hiss and
crimson glow and leaping fame are
beautiful, but they are rather for coun
try homes and old-fashioned ~f1replaces
than for the sunless rooms OF city
apartments. On the whole, the gas
log suits these best.
The excessively high rates of rent
and board and the increasing cost OF
modern life force thousands to live
in quarters that, though elegant, are
not hygienic. 1t would be a hun
bred times better for us to live in the
greatest simplicity, in the smallest
cottage by the side of the road, where
sunshine and wind have free course,
than to reside in palatial quarters
without the sun.
But, if our means compel us to
spend part of our lives in sunless
back rooms OF anywhere else where
the outlook is dull and dreary, the
part of philosophy is to make a good
fight. We may surround ourselves
with what brightness we can. II we
can do nothing more we may at least
have a growing plant in the window
and have yellow curtains against the
pane. To keep outdoors as much as
possible and to cultivate cheerfulness
when within are the wisest rules for
those who live in sunless rooms.

by the insertion Of small strips of

This year, the lowest returns, as we
have stated, are estimated at: Wheat,
81, 20S, 900 bushels; oats, 75,72 {, 600,
and barley at 16, $3.50, 900 bushels, which
is very satisfactory, if not absolutely

fact, all that is necessary to do is to
go back 25 years in the history Of
Western Canada. At that time the
agricultural product Of the whole
country was confined to Manitoba,
and consisted of 100000 bushels Of
wheat, on an acreage Of $1,000 and
1,27O,26S bushels of oats. The entire
crop was at that time required for
local purposes, and the export trade
was an unknown quantity. To-day,
allowing nearly 20,000,0 900 bushels Of
wheat for local consumption and seed.
