can settle, and l want to settle 1t now.
Come out in the courtyard quietly, and
we will finish this feud."
Hills was agreeable. The host went
quietly back to his parlor and chose
James Douglass to act as referee.
Douglass raised the shades of the
rear windows so that there might be
light enough to fight by. Then with
out a word to the assembled company
and followed by tile two principles he
left the house and repaired TO the
courtyard at the back. Hills and Gal
lagher took their positions within the
glare of the light blazing from the
windows, and while the guests within
unconscious of the { without
danced and laughed in pleasure
making the fight began.
Neither man had a weapon. Both
used cllnched hands, and the fight last
ed but a minute. Hills, II is said by
the police, swung a vicious blow, strlk-
ing Gallagher full upon the chin, and
the latter fell TO the ground.
The victor and the referee stood over
the fallen man several minutes waiting
for him to rise. Then. frightened, they
summoned an ambulance and the po-
lice.
DR.. Holman, who was the first to
reach the scene. said that Gallagher in
falling had struck his head such
crushing blow upon the stone which
lay beneath that his skull was frac-
tured. He died almost instantly.

PRODUCTIVE POWER OF
WESTERN CANADA SOIL
Winnipeg Correspondence.

Winnipeg Correspondence.
There has never been any who have
doubted the productiveness of the soil
of Western Canada, but there are
sometimes found those who question
the fact of its superiority. During the
past season 1t has been shown that
in grain raising qualities it possessed
the very best. The late spring pre-
vented grain being sown in many
cases before the middle of May. Yet,
a large percentage of that sown at that
time produced excellent yields. Had 1t
not been for the frost early in August,
which visited most Of the north half
of the continent, there would have
been magnificent yield in every dis
trict in Western Canada. Throughout
the Southern Alberta district where
about 100000 acres was sown to win
ter wheat the yield will be enormously
large There are vast tracts of valu-
able grain growing land in Western
Canada that are available for home
steads, the Canadian Government CIV
ing 100 acres free, and entry may be
made by proxy, by any near relative,
thus saving considerable cost to the
American who may have entry made
in this way. Any Canadian Govern
ment Agent will give you the partic-
ulars.
Your correspondent has just re-
ceived the following letter from Craik,
Saskatchewan, which bears out the
statement made in the first part of
this letter.
"Craik, Sask., Aug. 1907.
MAY oath we planted Dahlia root,
which we brought with us from Min
neapolis. Aug. 18th, 80 days later, it
was in bloom. The plant is now Az
feet high and covered with blossoms.
We never got half as many flowers on
it in Minneapolis, even during Septem-
ber and October, although we had
more time to attend to it there"
I mention this only as an example
of the great productive power of the
soil here in Saskatchewan, Canada.

HIS TURN TO cRlTIcIsE.
Younsster Felt Called on to Manifest
Disapproval of Prayer.

Little John, who, at the mature age
of four, has learned the Lords Prayer,
is often criticised by his sister, two
years older, for slight mistakes which
he cannot always avoid in offering the
petition A few Sundays ago he was
taken to church for the first time.
When the moment for the prayer ar
rived and the congregation bowed
their heads Johns mother took the
precaution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. Listen, she
said, "and you will hear the minister
pray" This interested John at once,
and his little face took on look of
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly, saw his ex-
preston change presently to one of
surprise and disapproval. A few min
utes more, and he could stand it no
longer. What could this man be say
ing? Not word of the prayer did
he recognize as the only formula he
had ever heard called by that name.
"Why, mother" he exclaimed, in a
tone audible over nearly half the
church, "do you hear? He isn't say
ing it right at ALL"

THE POULTRY YARD.

In her second year a hen is more
profitable than at any other time, and
1t is then they make the best breed
ing birds.
Flat perches are more comfortable
than the round ones. The latter also
cause crooked breast bones in grow
ing birds.
In building perches in the poultry
house, see that they are far enough
from windows and doors to be out of
all draughts.
Any farmer who has large orchard
and does not keep flock of poultry
is wasting valuable space which could
be utilized to advantage.
When face and head swell a good
deal and the discharge from the nos
trils is profuse fowls have roup, or in
fiuenza. Irregularity of habits is like
ly to accompany colds of all kinds.
Whole wheat is better for fowls
than corn. 1t does not make them so
fat and considering the greater num-
ber of eggs that can be secured by
using 1t is a more economical feed
The throat is so tender in colds
that bread and milk, warm mashes
and table scraps are about all that
fowls can swallow. A little ginger or
pepper in the mashes is helpful.

COMBS THAT FREEZE.
Not Wise for Farmers in Cold Gill;
mates to Keep Hens with Big Combs.

In the more northern sections of
the United States it is a mistake to
breed hens that have thin big combs,
as they often freeze, and this is to
the detriment of the health of the hen
and interferes with her services as an
egg layer. In the nLlder portions of
the country the farmer can indulge
in his liking for pretty combs, but
not in the cold north, If the hens are
not to be given more than ordinary
protection. Nor should such fowls be
purchased as foundation stock.
There are many varieties of fowls
that either have the heads covered
with feathers or have rose comb,
which is less likely to freeze on ac-
count of the blood circulating more
rapidly than 1t can in the flabby comb.
1t is a current opinion that fowls that
have their combs frozen are rendered
for time unsatisfactory producers
of eggs. A fowl with frozen comb
is an unsightly object at best, and
since it can be avoided 1t should be.
If fowls with such combs are kept,
they will have to be watched on the
very cold days and kept in out of the
wind.

part of the cart platform, has a
raised edge to keep the casters from
running off. A pin, seen in front of
the comb boxes, holds them securely
on the cart.
The table top should be large
enough to allow the two boxes of
empty combs to be run out onto the
cart after receiving the full ones. A
light sliding door on the inside of the
room is easily handled from either
side. The hinged door seen is fastened

"Lafcadio Hearn, that wonderful
writer, worked on newspapers in his

ruthless way his studies were changed,
cut and butchered was great woe
to his heart.
"In after years Hearn took a mali
cious joy in collecting stories about
editors-editors and their superior
and omniscient way with manuscript.
zone of his stories was of an editor
to whom a subscriber said:
Il enjoyed that poem on the three
ages of man in to-day's paper, Mr..

weather, wrote that winter still lin
gered in the lap of spring.
The editor, as he read over the
article, called the reporter to his desk
and told him that he would cut out
that sentence about winter lingering
in springs lap. He said the idea was
good enough, and all that sort of
thing, but it would not do to publish
because the high moral tone of the
paper had to be maintained in town

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

Brollers.

If the farmer becomes interested in
broilers and wishes to raise them for
the city market he will find 1t safer to
begin in small way rather than in a
large way. The people that go to
great expense generally find them
selves caught at some point In the op-
erations the first year or two. Either
they cannot get the kind of eggs they
want to use or they cannot get the
help they need at the right time. It
must be remembered that q broiler
does not remain broiler for all time
and that he must be disposed of while
still of tender age, 1t is better to let
the broiler business grow up with the
rest of the business, Then all the
different factors will be developed at
Ehe same time.
