THE CROPS IN ALBERTA.

On the Canadian Northern, from a
point 40 miles east of Edmonton to
Lloydminster, oats and barley are gen.
orally excellent; wheat is somewhat
damaged and there is some loss OF
late-sown oats and barley. South OF
High river there Is an enormous crop.
From High river to Edmonton and
from Edmonton to Lloydminster there
is IN average crop Of over so per cent.
OF last year and the price is from so
to 100 per cent. higher than last year.
The root crop is excellent and the live
stock is In splendid condition.
At the time of writing 1t is difficult
to determine even approximately the
quantity Of wheat that Central Canada
will market this year. The threshers'
returns will tell the story. Opinions
Of experts may we'll be taken in the
meantime. Frank o. Fowler, secre.
tary Of the grain exchange, Winnipeg,
wires: Expect 10000, 900 bushels
wheat. 40.000,0 900 bushels Of 1t good
milling. The crop will realize more
money than last year; wheat and bar.
ley are zoe. and nsx 2bc higher.

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They viii Ride Backward, Re-
ports a Traveller OF Englishmen.


Travellers returning from England
tell of two habits of the people Of that
country which impressed them. One
is the average Englishman's aversion
to shutting the door behind him,
II don't know how 1t is in the Eng
lish houses" remarked one who re-
turned recently from abroad, for l
was not in one Of them, but | stayed
in a hotel in London where there were
a good many English people, and a
dozen times daily had to get up and
shut a door to keep the draught away.
1T didn't make any difference
whether 1t was a servant or a guest
who went through, the door was left
open. This was in the spring of the
year, too. when the weather was chill.
ly. l noticed the same thing in rail.
way coaches and hotels of smaller
towns"
The other English popularity is a
preference for riding backward on
trains. The Englishman will make for
the seat with its back to the engine
every time. plant himself down in IL
with every evidence of comfort and
look wonderingly at anybody who
picks out a seat facing the direction
tie train is going. Not once did one
American travelling in England see a
native choose a seat facing the front
Of the train unless there were nc
other seats.

through which holes are bored at con
venient intervals G G G G to admit
the iron rod Is which should pass
close under the hams of the SOW just

to use Is determined by the size OF

between the sow's hind legs and rests
on the retaining rod, as shown in

by 3 feet long, and the upper edges
are rounded off smooth, so as moi to
injure the SOW. The side supports for

Ringing to one of the cross Stats in

the back by can Of a chain o which
passes over the top of side board, and

rhe flavor Of butter is an element OF
value that should be carefully guarded.
The driving horse Is receiving more
attention than ever before. The lack
of a breed Of American driving horses
Is being felt.
Unsound grain should never be fed
to horses, The small amount Of food
required in proportion to the size of
the body makes 1t necessary that the
food be of the best quality.
Under average conditions a grade
draft colt can be raised as cheap per
pound after foaling as a steer, and

three times as much.
