Dear Sir:
1t is with pleasure that reply to
your request. Some years ago took
up a homestead for myself and also
one for my son. The half section
which we own is situated between
Rouleau and Drinkwater, adjoining
the Moose Jaw creek, is low level
and heavy land. We put In 70 acres OF
wheat in stubble, which went 20 BUSH
els to the acre, and 80 acres of sum-
mer fallow, which went rs bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on

as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want first-class seed,
for there is no doubt if you sow good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 5000 bushels OF
first-class oats out of 100 acres. 80
acres has been fall blowing which
yielded 80 bushels per acre, and 80
acres stubble, which went 80 bushels
to the acre. These oats are
the best kind that can be
raised We have shipped three car
loads of them, and got So cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month OF
August before any frost could touch
1t.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
For myself feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked, even by unusual conditions.

men who have been so widely quoted
evidently know little of the world of
women. They have placed themselves
on record after very superficial and
perfunctory analysis Of the sex. The
very fact that they have been quoted
at all indicates that their views are al
together bizarre. If this had been
an established fact in all the thou

human race their belligerent procla-
nations would not have been noticed.
Has it been left for them to make a

their equivocations. When a man
tells deliberate lie he must be an
adept at the business indeed if some
thing in his manner or expression
fails to suggest that fact to the jury.
A woman speaking under the influ-
ence of powerful sentiment is more
apt to give her statement every SEM
blance of truth. The man lying de-
liberately is well aware that he can
hardly do it successfully and there
fore he is less apt to try the expert
ment, although he is morally just as
much the liar as though he did try it.
II would say that there is some
measure of truth in the assumption
that women are more liable than men
to go astray from the exact facts
when they are in the strange posi-
ton of a witness in the courts, but
the sweeping assertion of DR.. Taylor
that in all circumstances they are less
to be believed than men is a state
ment that should simply make the
person who made it ridiculous.

think that is not fully understood. 1t

convinced that the testimony is frank

The diary seemed genuine and the

The case was continued, and it was
brought out that the firm producing
the diary never issued the books to
be used by the trade previous to the

Origin of the Elevator.

The elevator originated in Central
Europe. The earliest mention of the
elevator is made in a letter of Ma
poleon I. addressed to his wife, Arch
duchess Maria Louise. He writes to
her that when in Schoenbrunn, then
the summer residence Of the Austrian
emperor, near Vienna, he used the
"chaise volante" flying chair) in that
castle which had been constructed for
Empress Maria Theresa. 1t consisted
of small, square room, sumptuously
furnished with hangings Of red silk
and suspended by strong ropes with
counter weights, so that it could be
pulled up or let down with great ease
in a shaft built for the purpose
about 1760.

men, on oath or otherwise?
is a question that has
been excited by the utter
ances of a few men, and
at least one woman, who have in pub
lie recently insisted that women as a
general proposition have no sense OF
the binding sanctity of an oath and
are blind to the moral obligation of
telling the truth.
A few days ago, came DR.. William
H. Taylor, state chemist of Virginia,
in a lecture to the students of the
State Medical College of Virginia,
proclaimed that a woman had mo
conception of the moral obligation en-
tailed in telling the truth In his
opinion truth with woman is what
she wants to be believed. She is con-
WINGED that what she calls her 'intui-
tions" must always be right.
AS buttress to what these mere
men" have asserted comes Mary Hea-
ton Worse, a woman of some note as a
writer for the magazines, who as
serts that few women can be depended
upon to tell the truth, she presumably
being one of the few; that they beat"
street railway companies; that they
listen at telephones, betray conf
dences, sneak the reading of letters;
and that she believes the statement
of an old judge who told her that
upon the witness stand women would
invariably perjure themselves"
These declarations were so sweep
ing and so extraordinary that the
Pittsburg Dispatch was led to seek
the opinions of some Pittsburg wom-
en- of note, who could be depended
upon to say what they thought re-
CARELESS of any reflection upon their
own seX-women who think independ-
emily and whose thoughts are well de-
fined and their language well thought
out. One of these is Mrs. Enoch
Rauh, president of the Council of
Jewish Women.
Not Question of Sex.
"The telling of truth is absolutely
not a matter of sex" was the en-
phatic answer to a query by the rep
resentative of the Dispatch. Both
sexes equivocate and evade upon oc-
casion and no one will hazard his rep
utation for veracity by saying that
women should be singled out for this
mark of opprobrium as distinct from
men. Both are of the same blood and
fiber, and whatever denunciation lies
against the one in the matter Of stat
ing what is untrue lies against the
other.
81 cannot understand how any man
or woman of intelligent appreciation
of the worlds activities could sink to
the depths of uttering such SANDER
against the mothers, sisters and
daughters who are responsible for the
maternity of their kind of both sexes.
