Moose Jaw, Sask.,NNov. 1S, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says
II have much pleasure In saying that
on my farm this year l had 500 acres
in wheat, and 100 acres in oats. My
wheat averaged about % bushels per
acre, and l had 200 acres cut before
the frost, which I sold at S5 cents per
bushel, thus realizing on that wheat
SIS per acre, not counting cost OF Irvine,
seed and labor. With regard to the
other 300 acres Of wheat, 1t got touched
with frost, but is worth go cents per
bushel. 1t will net me $13 per acre,
but l do not intend to sell it at thai
price, as I can make more money BY
feeding 1t to hogs.
my oats turned out about 80 bush
els to the acre, and at 35 cents pei
bushel will give me SIT to the acre, no
counting seed, Irvine and labor.
"On account of the late spring, {
percentage OF the grain was touched
with frost; but on account OF goot
prices, farmers will realize a fair prof
on their farms ever this year. We are
as usual up against a shortage OF cars

Prince Ludwig Menelik of Abyssinia

near relative of the King of Abyssinia,
and a negro. He was born at Adds

The Yaqui Indians are again killing
miners in Mexico. They have extended

The sweeping concessions made by King
Leopold in the new treaty which pro-

dependent State to Belgium are attribut-
ed to his dread of British intervention,
backed by the United States. The king,
it is declared, would rather run the risk
of facing an international accounting Of
his stewardship thar the former contin-

..
1t is always Il questionable practice
The sod usually contains but little
moisture. and the process of breaking
causes one to lose an appreciable por-
ton of 1t, says Il Colorado bulletin.
Suggestive plan: Plow sod lane not less
than three nor more than five inches
deep, turning sod down as fat as posi-.
BILE. and thus prevent Its drying out too
soon. Follow as closely with disc har-
row as practicable, and this with some
form of packer. either single or double
roll. This will level the sod land above,
and firm the soil in the lower portion
of the furrow slice, restoring the capil-
larity where blowing has arrested it.
This firmed underestimate soil is thus
enabled to draw moisture from below
and give good, normal root develop
ment. Follow up the packer with eth
err an acme or a good smoothing har-
row to produce a good earth mulch to
arrest surface capillarity and check
evaporation of soil moisture. Follow
with the seeder. All small grain should
be drilled IN with a press-wheeled drill,
followed up with a good spike-toothed
or smoothing harrow. 1t is almost nee
essary that all tillage operations on
sod be with the burrows rather than
across them to avoid tearing up the sod
and drying out your seed bed. Do not
seed broadcast. Make each tillage OPP,
Grafton thorough-plowing, disking,
frming, narrowing and seeding.
When the new crop is up, cross har-
row to prevent the formation of a
crust, and giving the young crop Il
cultivation. Follow up each rain with
a good narrowing as long as character
of crop will permit.
Early in June prepare seed bed for
the fall and following springs seeding.
Try to hereafter seed only IN ground
which has been given summer culture
treatment.
Remember that roots of all cultivat
ed crops make their best growth whet
you provide:
A firm mellow.
A warm mellow. Soil well supplied
with plant food.
\ ventilated.
A moist.
Methods of farming which (a) con.
serve the moisture, CD prepare a good
seed bed, (c) reduce the evaporation
to as near the minimum as possible,
(d) use good vital acclimated seed,
(e) employ a crop rotation which has
stock foods prominent, contain at least
n money crop (f) and practice thor
ough tillage of the ground, often tide
the farmer yer bad years and insure
his success in good years.

Improving the Farm Home.
While most farm homes are lacking
In the conveniences that make for
comfort, it is possible for them to nave
many of these conveEiences at q small
cost. Outlines the man Of the house
does not consider how very i%nconven-
lent the woman has it, SO cannot see
the necessity of putting In improve
ments in the house, while with his own
work he is fully alive to the value OF
labor-Saving devices.
How many steps the housewife must
take in her daily tasks that might be
saved with Il little r~earranSing of the
kitchen and other rooms of the house !.
For instance, the cistern or well is usu-
ally located at some distance from the
house and the woman is the one who
usually has to carry the water. At a
small cost n pump can be placed in the
kitchen, so that with the same amount
of pumping she car get the water with
out walking for it. Then. too, a sink
conveniently located in the kitchen is
a convenience often lacking in the farm
house.
IL is now possible to arrange a wa
ter supply in the house at a compare
lively small cost, so that running wa
ter, both hot and cold, can be had in
any part of the house. This makes it
possible to put in a bathroom-a lux
ury that has almost become a necessity
with the city householder.
To save the wife's steps hnd her
strength is to save her health. Stop
n think how many miles the house
wife in the ordinary farm home must
walk in preparing the three meals a
day. In all justice the march of 2gri-
cultural Improvements should not over
look the welfare of the farmers better

ing will easily make things more con-
venient and add comfort and happi-
ness for all concerued.-Goodall's

Dairy Jottings.

cient light in the barn makes the place

Calves need salt as much as older
stock, and it is a mistake not to keep
it before them at all times.
If the teats Of the COW have a ten
dency to be sore or dry, rub a little
pure vaseline on them.
The Iowa State Dairy Commission
has discovered that it takes from 6 to

One writer estimated that 500 worth
Of butter bears off from the soil less
of its valuable elements than 5 cents

When confined to the stable cows

The water should be clean and the
chill taken from it.
A case is related of a valuable COW
being cured of a bad case of bloat,
produced from eating apples, by a dose
of two tablespoonfuis of gunpowder.
The same remedy also cured a bad case
caused by dry clover.
1t never pays to use a cheap grade
of salt in butter. If you have barrel
salt for table use, buy a little fine salt
to be used, especially in sailing the but

ter fat. A noo quality of milk also
seems to make hogs thrive, but it won't

The cows body is warmed by the
food it consumes, and if through ex-

of the body is reduced, ore food is
required to keep up the inside warmth.
and If The demand for food fuel is kept
up, little or none is left for milk pro.

Everything has two handles-one nv
which it may be borne, another by
which 1t cannot. If your brother acts
unjustly, do not lay hold on the affair
BY the handle Of his injustice, for by
that 1t cannot be borne, but rather by
the opposite. that he is your brother,
that he was brought up with you, and
thus you will lay hold on it as it is to

Cattle ana Hide Exports.

According to a British authority.
which contains some tables on the sub
ject, the United States has a larger
number of hogs in proportion to its
population than Australia, New Yea
land. Canada or Argentina. but the
number of beef cattle to the thousand
of population is smallest in the Unit
ed States. Hides. however, have been
declining in price in this country.
Under the present revenue>law goat-
skins, calfskins, kips, horse hides and
other raw material for tanning come
in free of duty, but there is a tax of
10 per cent on hides of adult beef cat
tie. Notwithstanding this fact the eS-
ports of shoes have increased from
493.027 pairs, valued at S590,574 in
1898. to 6,326,527 pairs, valued at ST.
