Addition To Trade.

What has been the result to the United States of this so-called colonial policy? Well. it has added to her trade something oyer s10O, ,000000. I do not think that is important except as a beginning. If the government continues its friendly policy toward Porto Rico and the Philippines, and opens her markets as well to the Philippines as to Porto Rico this trade will treble and quadruple in a marvelously short time, so that merely from the stand point of material progress the mutual ben efts for the people we are helping and ourselves will be no mean justification for the policy.
 Again our action in assuming our part of the responsibility of the world powers for the development of the world has add ed to our influence the world round. and has made our voice influential in iall. in ternational councils. So great has been this growth that the immediate sue cessor of William Mckinley, Theodore Roosevelt, has been able to accomplish more in the preservation of the peace of the world than any President that ever administered or any monarch thata ever reigned The influence that we are exer- csing in South America, in Central Amer ica, in Europe and in China is. much of it, the result of the policy of expansion adopted under William Mckinley. It is said that this policy has entailed upon us the enormous burden of a navy. l be- lieve that it has increased the necessity for a greater navy. l believe that navy is the greatest insurer of peace that we could possibly have-a navy commensurate with our population, and commensurate with our influence as world power. The expression world power' has been made an occasion for ridicule and sneers, but it has a real meaning and a real signifi- canoe.
 "It means an influence throughout the world, and so long as that influence Is yielded for the betterment of mankind for the uplifting of our unfortunate fellow creatures, for the maintenance of peace, for the encouragement of trade, for the promotion of morality and civilization, we may well be proud to have taken any part in the change of our national policy which made us a world power. The high est claim of William Mckinley for the gratitude of his countrymen is that, in spite of the abuse that was heaped upon his head for this policy, he placed our country in the forefront of nations as d civilizer and uplifter of unfortunate poo- ples."

Addition To Trade.

We must exercise the power that the Lord has given us for the purpose of assisting our neighbors. The policy of isolation, which would prove 1t as exercising our influence or direct con trol in matters where we are capable of doing good and advancing the worlds progress is a narrow, selfish and altogether unjustifiable policy. The ties of communication have increased with such rapidity as to shrink the distances and the area of the world for practical purposes into one quarter of the size that it had in the days cf Washington, while in the same time our country has grown from a little township along the Atlantic coast to a nightly empire extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Canadian border to the gulf. a teem- ing sympathetic and highly nervous community with a population which embraces representatives from all the nations of the globe, people that pull sates with throbs of sympathy for tn cir most distant fellowmen.
 Under such circumstances we must regard and have an interest in what our neighbors are doing and when we can assist them we cannot pass by on the other side as the Leyite, but we must take them up as the good Samarl- tan did and bind up their wounds and send them on their way rejoicing. This was the future which Mckinley saw TOT his country.

If we assume control over people merely in the spirit of conquest and merely to extend our control and merely from. the lust of power, then we may be properly denounced as imper- ialists; but If we assume control over people for the benefit of that people and with the purpose of developing them to a self-governing capacity, and with the intention of giving tn em the right to become independent when they shall show themselves fit, then the charge that we are imperialists is ut terly without foundation.

WASTING FERrlLITY.

The fertility of the soil is the farm
ers' asset, n to continue TO crop land
without returning anything to keep up
the supply Of humus will soon exhaust
it, and it will fail to produce a crop.
Keeping stock and applying manure to
the lane is the safest and best method
of maintaining fertility. and yet there
are wasteful methods Of handling the
manure. To throw the manure out in
the barnyard where the drippings from
the and the rains will wash it
and carry much of the fertilizing ele-
ments into the brooks and creeks is a
wasteful practice. To have it spread
out in the yard all summer where it
will lose by evaporation and washing
is another poor practice. To apply a
heavy "a IN a field and then wait five
OF six years is also a wasteful method,
as it is better to apply a light coat Of
ten, and then the soil can utilize it,
while a heavy coat cannot be "di-
gested" all at n and consequently
some must be wasted. A light coat of
manure applied every two years will
maintain the fertility of the soil and
good crops a be secured continuous
ly. Spread thinly and often is the
safest rule.

crop. There never was any live stock
industry in those days. And when we
go into the other states Of the south
we see there the worn scared hill
sides, the result OF the one crop-cot-
ton. This is a sad spectacle. That land
can hardly be brought back to its

west should earn the lesson that one
crop farming is a poor subterfuge for
getting along in the world

80 BUSHELS OF OATS TO TIL

What Mr. Kaltenbrusner Has to
Say About His Grain Crops ID
Central Canada.

What Mr.. Kaltenbrunner has to
Say About Hi. Grain Crops In
Central Canada.
Writing from Regina, SasSatche-
wan. Central Canada, Mr.. A. Kalten-
Drummer writes:
"Some years ago I took up a home
stead for myself. and also n for my
son. Tn half section which we w
adioins the Moose Jaw Greek is a low,
level and heavy land. We put in 20
acres. OF wheat in stubble. which went
20 bushels to the acre, and 30 acres of
summer fallow, which went % bushels
to the acre. All the wheat we harvest
ed this year is No. / hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet, as we intend to keep II part for
our OWL seed. and sell the other part
to people who want first class seed.
for there is 40 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 fail blowing. which yielded 90
bushels per acre, and so 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 53 cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month OF Au-
gust before any frost could touch it.
Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring. and that the
weather conditions this year were very
adverse and u~nfavorable. we will make
more money out OF our crop this year
than last.
For myself 1 feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked. even by unusual conditions.'
Information regarding free home
stead lands in Manitoba. Saskatchewan
and Alberta may be had or application
to any Canadian Government Agent,
whose advertisement appears elsewhere.
He will give you information as to the
best route and what it will cost you
to reach these lands for purposes Of
inspection.
