EXCELLENT WEATHER
AND MAGNIFICENT CROPS
REPORTS FROM WESTERN CAN.
ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING.

A correspondent writes the Winni-
er Creek district, (Southern AL
berta), the original home of fall
wheat, where 1t has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about 25 years, is excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
| phenomenal, as has been the weather
for it's harvesting. Forty bushels is
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, 60 and over, and most of it No.
l Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. 1t
is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or 4S bushels
per acre, and mostly No. Northern.
One man has just made net profit
from his crop of $19.55 per acre. or
little less than the selling price of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
ent, when a crop or two will pay for
| 1t, and failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do well, also stock and
dairying, and there is a large market
at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co.
| lumbia, for the abundant hay of the
district, and poultry, pork, and gar
den truck. Coal is near and cheap.
Jim Hill has an eye on its advan-
tages, and has invested here, and is
bringing the Great Northern Railroad
soon, when other lines will follow"
The wheat, oat and barley crop in
other parts of Western Canada show
splendid yields and will make the
farmers Of that country land many of
them are Americans) rich. The Cana
dian Government Agent for this dis
trict advises us that he will be pleased
to give information to all who desire
1t about the new land regulations by
which a settler may now secure 160
acres in addition to his 160 home
stead acres, at $500 an acre, and also
how to reach these lands into which
railways are being extended. 1t might
be interesting to read what is said of
that country by the Editor of the
Marshall (Minn.) ews-Messenger,
who made trip through portions of it
in July, 1908. Passing through more
than three thousand miles of Western
Canada's agricultural lands, touring
the northern and southern farming
belts of the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, with nu-
merous drives through the great grain
| fields, we were made to realize not
only the magnificence of the crops, but
the magnitude, in measures, of the
vast territory opening, and to be
opened to farming immigration. There
are hundreds of thousands of farmers
there, and millions of acres under cul-
tivation, but there is room for mil
lions more, and other millions of acre
age available. We could see in Western
Canada in soil, product, topography or
climate, little that is different from
Minnesota, and with meeting at
every point many business men and
farmers who went there from this
state, it was difficult to realize one
was beyond the boundary of the
country"

DAIRY NOTES.

BY proper management of the feed
an even flow of milk can be secured
from most cows.
England is in the market for large
quantities of American butter, and this
demand may result in higher prices
Cows know almost to the minute
when feeding time comes round and
they should not be kept waiting long
No matter what the market is the
maker of good. reliable butter can al
ways find ready sale at better than
quotations.
Have you ever tried a winter rye
pasture for the cows? 1t is well worth
while to do SO. Then you will need
very little butter color preparation

Not Guilty.

Willie is little boy who is noted in
his neighborhood for his cruelty to
animals. The latest story is that just
for fun he took a pair of scissors and
cold-bloodedly cut off Kittens tail.
One of the older girls was reproaching
him for his cruelty and telling him
what wicked thing he had done.
He fatty denied doing anything Of
the sort.
"Why, Willie, how can you tell such
a story?" the girl asked. Everybody
knows you did it."
II did not! | did not" he reiterated
when pressed further. Il didn't do
any such thing. 1t wath a dog"

What is it?" they asked him earn
estly. I'VE will grant you anything"
We'll" replied the man, feebly, Il

monument these words: Here lies a
man who worked for his living"
Realizing that he had forestalled
any attempt on the part of his rich re-
lations to brag too much about their
family connections, he sank into a
sweet sleep.

All the Fault of the Cow.
Judge.

A South side woman went to a
butcher shop the other day to get a
roast of beef. The butcher is a little
old man, inclined to be cranky. He
began to cut the roast She thought
he was saving off too much bone.
THAT roast will have too much
bone in it, fear" she said.
The butcher stopped and sighed.
Madam" he said, that's the cows
fault. These COWS would be in awful
shape if they had to run around with
out bones"
The woman said no more.-Denver

365 Days.
accurately all data concerning the
amount of feed consumed by the COWS
The principal feeds given were as fol-
lows: For roughage, alfalfa hay, corn
silage and pasture; for concentrates,
corn, bran, oats and linseed-meal. The
prices charged for the foods were
based on the average market price
during the time they were fed. The
butter fat produced was credited to
the cows at the market value, based
on prices paid by the creameries of
the state.
The conclusions from this test are
as follows
The amount Of IHilk and butter fat
produced depends upon the dairy ca
pacity of the animal and the amount
and quality of the ration used.
Cows vary in their cost of keep, also
in their ability to use economically the
food consumed.
Cows Of decided dairy type will re-
turn the greatest profit when fed to
their full capacity.
The average cost of feeding dairy
COW, as shown by these records, is
about $50 per year, and the total
value of butter fat is about $40, leav-
ing an average of about $40 for labor
and profit, in addition to the value of
the skim-milk and the value of the
calf.
1t is fair to state that the calf, skim
mil
labor required TO care for the cow, and
the net earnings per cow would there
fore be $40 per year.

SEEMED A TRlFLE PERSONAL.
Clereyman's Particular Reason for
omitting the Fifth Verse.

A clergyman in an interior town
married q woman from whom he re-
ceived dowry of $4,000 and a pros
pect of more. Shortly afterwards,
while occupying the pulpit, he gave
out hymn, read the first verse and
proceeded to read the fifth, COM
mencing:
Forever let my grateful heart" "
then he hesitated and exclaimed:
THE choir will omit the fifth verse"
Some of the congregation read the
verse for themselves and smiled as
they read:
Forever let my grateful heart
His boundless grace adore,
Which gives ten thousand blessings now
And bids me hope for more.

TowNsPEoPLE PAY FINE.
Raise Money by Subscription to Settle
Case Against Teacher.

Portland, Me. Nov. 11.-An inter
esting trial which drew listeners from
miles about the little town of Denmark
has been brought to an end when Miss
Ethel Harmon of Naples, schoo
teacher was fined 81 and costs for as
sault on a pupil.
AS soon as the justice imposed the
fine it was learned that $50 had been
raised for Miss Harmon by popular
subscription. A great outburst of ap-
plause greeted this announcement.
The complaint was made by Rev
Alexander c. Boyd. superintendent OF
schools. 1t was alleged that the teacn-
er had assaulted three pupils who We're
said to have been guilty of throwing
"spitballs" and bird shot in the school
room.
Chairman Pingree of the school
board, who was visiting school at one
time when the pupils were alleged to
have been throwing the spitballs has
also had the same charge MADE against
him as in Miss Harmon's case. His
trial will come off Friday.
Miss Harmon's trial attracted such
large crowd that it was held in the
Town hall, and several attorneys We're
employed by each side. The towns

GRANTS TO PRAIRIE OIL co.

Charge of Favoritism.

Frank Pierce. acting secretary of the
interior. has issued a statement relative
TO charges that the administration has
shown favoritism to the Prairie Oil and
Gas Company in Oklahoma, refusing
similar favOrs and privileges to other
companies. The statement. which was
prepared under the supervision OF the
President is follows:
This charge of favoritism is absolutely
false. The records of the department
show that the application of the Wichita
company was for an absolutely new pipe
line and was refused. as all other new
applications from any person or company
whatsoever would be refused under
similar circumstances. because the COM
pany would not comply with the regula-
tons of the department.
The application of the Prairie COM
pany, on the contrary, was not for a new
pipe line. but for al enlargement OF the
facilities of a pipe line already permit ted
and in operation. The Prair;o company
had obtained its permit I'm strict accord
