WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.
Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and
Good Prices.

Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 80, 1906.
Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern
msnt Agent,
Indianapolis, Ind
My Dear Sir:
When you were at our place in July
I promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember It was all sown to wheat.
Well, / finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average of
43A bushels per acre-testing 641z
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample / have ever raised
so uniform and even in size. You
may know it was good sample when
I tell you that have already sold 2 1000
bushels of it for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. Ny wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember I pointed out to
you a half section lying just west of
our house and joining my upper quar-
ter on the south, which 1 said 1 should
have in order to make one of the best
farms in western Canada. am very
glad to be able to tell you that I now
own that half section. My ambition
now is to be able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year. If some
of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. 1
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year 1 proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
SO you see so1d Indiana" is holding the
ribbon this year.
Yours very truly,
N. E. -BAUMINK.

PREACHER AND THE POET.

Probably Shakespeare did his own
thinking on questions of religion, said
little, and conformed strictly to the ex-

was a good churchgoer. The town and
church of Stratford had decided bent
toward Presbyterianism, and there is
reason to think that he did not get
on well with it in this respect. Him.

not seem to have been fond of preach

fool" We fear that when he walked
to church with his wife he went no
farther than the porch, but strolled
along the Avon, where he was found.

How to sleep lx a Blanket.

There are great many very COM
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest of it. 1 have never seen des-
cribed the woodlands method of using
a blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge I'M
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep If
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten.-Stewart

it was a mirage.

in the middle of the center pile in the
