Olds, Alberta, Dec. 10. 1906.
Mr. M. V. McInnes, Detroit, Michigan:
Dear Sir and Friend-It will be four
years next May since I came to Olds
and have lived here ever since.
Since | came here wheat has run
from 25 to 45 bu. per acre, oats from
90 to 115, that 1 know OF. I raised
that last year, lis bu. to the acre of
the finest oats | ever saw, and oats
that l sowed 31st day of May this
year went 72@ to the acre and weigh
ed Al lbs. to the bushel. My barley
went 40 bu. last year and SO this year,
and was not sown until the latter part
of May. l had acres of potatoes this
year and sold 700 bushels and put 275
bu. in the cellar, and no bugs to pick

live for anything. If l had my choice
of ticket to Olds or 40-acre farm
in Michigan l would take the ticket

Have Faith In the Farm.

Make farming business. Put
money and brains into the farm with
the expectation that it will return a
profit. To manage farm in a half
hearted way, being afraid to invest
dollar on improvements or to apply
sufficient fertilizer for fear that it will
not pay, is sure way of having ones
fears realized. If the effort is made
to make the farm better year by year
it is pretty certain to be a success.

ner shown in the accompanying illus

drilled every four inches, about the
outside rim of each wheel. Two by
four oak planks three feet six inches
long with half-inch holes bored close
to the end, were bolted on the old
moving machine wheels, being careful
not to let the two by four project
over the edge of the wheel.
In the center an old sickle bar with
guards off was used with a two-inch
hole in the center. The ends were
turned half around to fasten to the
frame. This bar was placed between
the two sections of the roller. The

The manure made from fattenins

costly to permit waste. Keep the

Too often feeding is done. out OF

WOULD LIMIT

Dominion Government Negotiating with
That of Mikado-Threat from
japanese Consul-General.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 27.-The Do
minion government is still negotiating
with the par government with a
view to restricting the immigration to
Canada to a limited number each year
no matter whether they come from
or anywhere else. 1t is ex-
pected that such an arrangement may
be effected.
THE existing arrangement is Tor
about 500 or 600 a year, but this Is
overridden by the arrivals from Homo
lulu. Instead of making 1t so many
from the different provinces in Japan,
the idea is to make it limited to THIS
number arriving in British Columbia

and Japan, for the reason that by the
treaty of friendship. commerce and navi-
cation made last year between Japan anu

ticle 3 to give the Japanese the same en-
tire freedom of entrance, residence ana

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-The announce

the biggest bond offering ever made by the
city created a stir In the financial district.
The bond issue amounts to $40, 100000 and an
interest rate of ~ per cent. is offered to
investors.
The financial district did not at first take
kindly to the prospect of such a heavy
demand upon its resources, but reports
quickly spread that many Of the leading
financial houses had Joined in the organ
ization of a syndicate to bid for the entire
issue. This restored a feeling of conf
dence and the various attractive features
of the issue received more side ton.
No definite confirmation Is available of
the report that the leading bankers had
formed a syndicate to bid for the issue,
but it is reported On apparently good au-
thority that ]. P. Morgan & Co. and other

CORTELYOU'S ACTION
NOT DEFINITELY KNOWN
YET WHAT IT WILL BE.
Deposits to Be Made in Banks May
Reach $50, 1000, 900. Under Plan
Already Announced.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-F1nal informa-

at the Treasury Department. Officials or
the department, however. expect 10 get

Wednesday night and, possibly. 10 MAKE
the announcement of the location ana
amounts of the deposits on Thursday.
1t is stated that the Secretary himself
will determine the location Of the FIRST m
stallments and their amount without cali
ing for further aid at the present time
upon the members of the Treasury COM
mission. This commission some time 8
recommended to him a plan for the resu-
lar selection OF the depository banks. n
the scheme which he has just announced
was an element in the proposed plan.
He has as yet not indicated to the mem
bers of the commission how far be Is dis
posed to accept the other features of the
scheme. though 1t is supposed that as time

officers of the department feel a good deal
OF doubt as to the amount that will be
at the start. estimates ranging
from IS, 0Oo.C coo to SO. 900. 600.
Az the deposits are to continue for hve
weeks the total amount which can be re-
leased will not be more than II 100000 or
possibly $50, 000, 000. In view Of the neces-
sity of providing for the further redemp-
ton OF the fours still outstanding the
higher estimate is discredited by some.
Comptroller R.cgely's call for the condi-
ion of national banks will show the APP
proximate amount OF the reserves Just be
fore the cash is placed with them. BY
making an extra call later, when the de-
posits for the season have been wholly or
nearly fully distributed, it will be practical
Bile to see just what effect has been pro-
duced by the action OF the department.
Meantime, it is not probable that there
Kill be an undue degree of severity on the
part of the Office against those banks
which SIRE somewhat short on reserve.

Two Big cunarders Will Cross the

LONDON. Aug. 2Z-There is great inter-
est in the projected speed test between
the steamers Lucania and Lusitania on
the t~latter's maiden Atlantic voyage. Both
will leave Liverpool on September 7. the
Lucania starting two hours before the
Lusitania, which will proceed under easy
steam to Queenstown in order to give the.
Lucania time to embark her passengers
and get away. The Lusitania will leave
Queenstown at 10 a. M. September 8.
Then probably will commence the contest
from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook.
The Lucania should be on the open At
lantic doing twenty-one knots, with three
hours start, when the Lusitania energies
from Queenstown. but travelling at the
rate of twenty-four knots the latter will
probably overhaul the Lucania long before
America is sighted. The fact that the
Lusitania Is not to be driven at her high
est speed on her maiden voyage will give
the Lucania a sporting chance OF arriving
hrst at New York. Both vessels are
