Wild Sweep of Water.

damage. In the narrow strait the water
formed into a huge wave thirty feet high.

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907.
Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche-
wan, Mr.. S. X. Rathwall says:
IL have much pleasure in saying
that on my farm this year l had 500
acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats.
My wheat averaged about % bushels
per acre, and l had 200 acres cut be-
fore the frost, which l sold at 80
cents per bushel, thus realizing on
that wheat $500 per acre, not count
ing cost of Irvine, seed and labor. With
regard to the other 800 acres of wheat,
it got touched with frost but is worth
60 cents per bushel. 1t will net me
$1,000 per acre, but / do not intend
to sell it at that price, as | can make
more money by feeding it to hogs.
my oats turned out about 90 bushels
to the acre, and at 50 cents per bushel
will give me $500 to the acre, not
counting seed, twine and labor.
ION account Of the late spring, a
percentage Of the grain was touched
with frost, but on account of good
prices, farmers will realize fair
profit on their farms even this year.
We are as usual up against short
age of cars to get our grain removed"

A PROFITABLE EXPERIENCE.
\ Striking Illustration Of True Neigh
borliness Was Shown in the Case
of Mrs. Walker of Georgetown.

Mrs. Walker had raised quite a
brood Of chickens. expecting to secure
sufficient eggs, when they were scarce,
TO help pay the interest on her mort
gage.
But cold spell came along, and just
at the time when eggs began to get
high Mrs. Walkers hens stopped lay
ing. Not one could she get even for
her own table.
She was almost in despair when Mrs.
Richards called, and when she sadly
told her troubles, Mrs. Richards didn't
look salon the contrary, she looked
very CHEEKY, and exclaimed, why
that's exactly the trouble had year
ago. but l managed to overcome it,"
What did you do?" anxiously in
CURED Mrs. Walker.
We'll, l told my troubles to Mr.
Johnson, our dealer, and he said, Why
have the very thing you need. Many
of my customers have had the same
difficulty in the past. but they don't
have the trouble after using this prep
aration. AS matter of fact, l will
pay back every cent OF the money il it
does not do the work
well, just concluded that couldn't
be running any risk, and so / ordered
Pratts Poultry Regulator and began to
feed it. Within two days / could tell
the difference in the appearance Of the
chickens, and in one week my hens
were laying regularly, and I was get
ting large number of eggs when they
were selling at Acc a dozen. My ad-
vice is, order the same Pratts Poultry
Regulator Che sure it's Pratts, because
there are so many that are worthless).
and my confidence is so great that III
also agree TO see that you are not
obliged TO pay for it if it doesn't do
what is claimed"
Mrs. Walker followed her neighbours
advice, got some Pratts Poultry Regu-
lator, with the dealers guarantee),
and in short time had earned enough
from the sale Of eggs to meet her mort
gage interest.
And now Mrs. Walker is telling all
her neighbors about her good for
tune" and how it was due to the use Of
Pratts Poultry Regulator.
And Mrs. Walker has also been
greatly benefited by the valuable in
formation she found in Pratts New
Poultry Book. which is sent free to

HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken wheE
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather. to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness OF application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear well.
The surface TO be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure linseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well
brushed out, not flowed on thick.
When painting is done in this manner
with National Lead Company's pure
white lead Grade marked with 1.-THE
Dutch Boy Painter') there is every
chance that the job will be satisfac-
tory. White lead is capable OF alb
solute test for purity. National Lead
Company, Woodbridge Building, New
York, will send testing outfit free to
any one interested.
