very likely to become diseased and lose
their hardness.
Turkeys should not be inbred. Males
should be secured each year from a
distance, as the turkeys in neighbor-
hood are likely to be inbred because of
the fact that hen turkey often wan

SOME REMARKS FROM MINNIE
Sofa EDITORS.
what They Think Of western Canada,

A party Of editors from a number OF
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made o tour Of Western Canada, and
having returned 20 their homes they
are now telling in their respective
newspapers Of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West 81. Paul
Times recalls the excursion OF the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg TO
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re.
ferring 10 what has happened In the
interval the writer says: Thousands
OF miles OF new railway lines have
been built. and the development Of
the country has made marvellous
strides. Millions OF acres. then lying
In their wild and untouched state.
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up az II

lies Western Canada as "a great coun.
try undeveloped. The summer out.
ing" It says, was an eye-opener 20
every member Of the party. even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog.
ress and advancement made in that
short space Of time. The time viii
come when Western Canada win be
the bread.basket Of the world. Il

Since the visit Of these editors the
Government has revised its land regu-
lations and It Is now possible TO So
cure 160 acres Of wheat land at $500
an acre in addition to the 100 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops Of 1908 have been splen-
did. and reports from the various dis
tricts show good yields, which at pres
ent prices win give excellent profits to
the farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields Of thirty bush.

the average is about 20 bushels. The
quality Of grain TO be shipped from
this point will be about 100000 bush.
