Important Change in Court Days.

There will be no March term OF
Prince Edward Circuit Court. The
legislature has abolished the term and
fixed the month OF January as the
time for this court. Another inn
portant change is the one which makes
the court terms for the county begin
on the Tuesday following the Third
Monday instead Of the third Monday
as heretofore. No other change was
made. and the next term Of the Circuit
Court will be held commencing Tues
day, May 18th. Considerable incon-
venience is occasioned by this unex-
pected change in the dates for the hold
ing Of the courts, as all jurors and VIII
nesses have been summoned for next
Monday, and it will be a difficult task
to notify them all that they will not
have to appear.
Another thing done by the present
legislature was to add to the circuit
presided over by Hon. George }. Hund-
lev, the county Of Powhatan, giving
to il five instead Of four courts.

NOTES..

Patience and energy we'll applied
will do wonders
An lndiscriminate mixing of breeds
will produce scrubs.
The muddy yard is worse for sheen
than for any other stock.
The eve that receives good care
shows it in her produce.
Scrubs among sheep are Just as bad
as scrubs among hogs and cattle.
The earlier the fat sheep are nut
upon the market the better the prices.
Every farm home should have lots
OF sunshine. It's free and mighty
healthful.
Sunshine is as valuable in the barn
as in the henhouse. There is USUALLY
less OF it, though
A lot of valuable work can be done
right now if there is comfortable
workshop on the farm
The man who tries to get the best
he can from his farm seldom has
dlf1lculty selling his products.
Ihls is good time to put the fam
ming mill to work. It's the best way
to improve the small grain seed.
The selling side of farming is an
important thing. Do not hold the stuff
too long and do not be in too much If
a hurry.

Regina, Sask., 23rd Nov, 1907.
Commissioner of immigration,
Winnipeg.
Dear Sir:
It is with pleasure that reply to
your request. Some years ago l took
up 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 a 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 25 bushels to
the acre. All the wheat we harvested
this year is No. hard. That means
the best wheat that can be raised on
theearth. Wedid not sell any wheat yet
as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed, and sell the other part
to people who want firstclass 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 a 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.
am, dear sir,
Yours truly,
