Harvesting Now On In Calgary, Canada

New hay is now selling for 81 on
the market and is expected to sell at
SIS per ton in winter.
There is about two months during
which one can cut hay in this locality
thereby about three farmers combin-
ing they may each be able to nave
several hundred tons of hay to haul
during winter months.
One may judge for themselves how
it is that many come here and with
only one team may start in and in
three or four years pay for a farm
and improvements.
Grain crops are looking well al
though the straw is shorter than COM
mon and compares well with that OF
the Hoosier state, the cereals, judging
from the heading grain have the ap-
pearance of yielding more bushels per
acre than at home.
Potatoes are appearing favorable
and are expected TO produce about 400
bushels per acre.
Very little market gardening is
done here, although such products
bring handsome prices.
All fruits are shipped into Calgary
as there is none grown near here.
One can buy a fair grade of apple
at Sc per bushel, peaches 1918 per
box, containing ~ peck. Strawber-
ries, raspberries can be purchased for
about 80 or 80 cents per quart
However laborers In the city get
from SO to $3.50 per day of 10 hours.
Harvest hands are in some cases be-
fng paid $50 per month and board.
$40 and board being the average price.
Any one desiring further informa-
ton concerning this country may
have what l find to be facts by ad-
dressing me at Calgary. Alta. Can.

make fun Of the jokes in Punch, but
witticism will travel around in an
American audience. The English aud
fence is one much better to act to. 1t
is more responsive, more spontaneous
more appreciative."
Speaking Of friends and fellowship,
he declared:
1T looks a little as if we are losing
our capacity. Of making friends. We
close ourselves up, keep away from
others, and do not open ourselves up
when we seem to have a friend. We
don't pour out our soul feelings to one
another, and We fail to become conf
Dental. We don't discuss deep sub
jects with one another. There should
be more heart to heart talks
Churches Matter Of Course.
In pointing out the fault in churches
increasing their membership, the pro-
fessor related the story OF the little
boy, who, in learning the catechism
previous to joining the church, was
asked do you love Jesus?" and re-
piled "Of course"
LIS 10 Inc LiOoC pSOpiC, ITOl.
Zueblin declared Most people have
their religion formed through the
church and in this way. They are
brought up to believe it, knowing no
other way. And this boy, I add, to
save himself from damnation never
could explain the creed of that
church"
Society's depression on personality
was explained by the sociologist as
follows:
Its influence on personality is at
present at minimum. The general
tendency is toward depression. So
ciety produces a lack OF spontaneity
The desire to belong to an exclusive
set is destructive. A good strong per-
sonality is not desired or admired in
the SO called high set"
Referring to the number of sects
and differences in religion, he said:
I'VE try to establish a certain kind
of religion. We say we have the best
religion, the true religion. We expect
all to harmonic, but we are surpN sed
when we find they fight each other.
We are disturbed by the multitude of
sects and differences. We wonder
that there are not more, and we hope
there will be more. We could then
have the true in contrast to the con-
ventional demonstration of religions"

AS I have Just received letters con-
tanning information concerning crops
etc, / wish to say that harvesting is
just begun and people mere believe in
making hay while the sun shines, but
In SO doing they are not Obliged to do
the amount of manual labor as COM
pared with the method of making hay
at home.
Very little forking is necessary in
stacking hay in this country as tho
hay soon after being cut is raked into
punches then it is gathered by a
sweep, which is generally two or three
poles fastened together by braces in
order to cause them TO drag steady
is 20 to % feet in length is hitched
a team to each end to which is fasten-
ed a rope or chain 90 to 80 feet in
length by this method several punches
are gathered together making a sweet
load of 1000 to 1900 lbs. This is then
taken to where the stacker is placed.
The stacker is a triangular shaped
affair constructed of poles and boards
and having an incline corresponding
in width with the sweep. The sweep
load is pulled up the incline which
is sometimes 20 feet high and dumped
on the stack where the only forking it
gets is done by the man on the stack.
The stacker Is portable affair
which requires only few minutes to
move and bents of 20 or 30 feet are
put up at a time and stacks so or
so feet in length are very common.
The land is not mown over each
year in succession but alternately as
the hay procured every other year is
about 2 to 21a tons per acre or / to
liz tons annually.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE sToRk.

1t has become quite common with
newspaper writer's to associate the
Etork with birth notice. 1t is not
out of place to do so for here is much
in the habits of the stork to make 1t a
fit association. The name in the
Greek implies natural affection. This
name results from a belief general
through all ancient Asia. in the at
tachment of these birds to each other;
of the young towards the old, and OF
the parents towards their young. The
mother birds will risk their life to
save their young. They have been
known to rush into a burning nest
and perish in the flames in an effort
to save their young family. They are
very social birds. This is especially
the case in the countries where they
breed I'm the villages of Holland and
Denmark and in Syria and Tunis.
Here they stalk gravely among the
crowds of people. The Moroccans
hold that storks are human beings in
that form from some distant Islands
and it is said that at Fee, in Morocco
there is an endowed hospital for the
purpose of assisting and nursing sick
cranes and storks and of burying them
when dead. Because of their strong
attachment to their young and their
gentle natures, they have been asso-
ciated with births and domestic happi-
ness. The stork was considered by
the ancients as the personification OF
piety, congugal and fiiial love, graft
tude and temperance. The storks are
migratory birds and take their flight
in the night and hence may be asso-
ciated with the coming of the little
one into the home. They build their
nests in the tops of lofty trees. or
high up on the ruins of ancient tow
ers or buildings and will descend to
walk without fear among the moving
multftudes of the city. They will re-
turn year after year to the same rest
ing place to repair their nests and
again rear their young, often two
broods in one season. Let the writer's
continue along this line; it is no mean
association. The stork has visited
Fairview quite often, judging from the
many little ones we meet on our walks
these summer evenings.

You cannot sell goods without some

that he had worked hard enough for a

couple of weeks. On their return home
they had occasion to stop in FIT. Wayne,

many kind of messages. but I'll be

will not have to ask this question
when he goes on his vacation next
year, and should encounter a similar
sign in some other city.

cation of Will Harms, of the firm of

Among the interesting things shown
at meeting Of the geological So
ciety were two young specimens of the
English squirrel, which had almost en-
tirely changed In color from the usual
chestnut brown to a light drab. only
the ears and feet showing traces of the
original color. 1t was stated that the
animals had been taken from a nest
when very young and put in charge
Of cat which acted as foster mother
and successfully reared them. 1t was
suggested that this fact might have
caused the color change.-St. James
