SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Farmers OF Central anada Reap
Wheat and Riches

Wheat and Riches.
Up in the Provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such a quantity of land suitable
for the growth Of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield so hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultivation
of the lands in these provinces. Almost
any section of the country will do as
well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section Of land, break it
up and crop it, make $17,550 out of the
yield and $10,880 put of the increase
of value all within the short period
Of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, a well-known
farmer within g few miles CT Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
Ee Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres Of
oats. The wheat yielded 1875 bush
els, and the oats yielded 1850 bushels.
The whole of the grain has been mar
keted and Mr.. Bailey is now worth
$17,550 from the grain alone. He
bought the land at SiS an acre, and
the other day refused an offer of $35
an acre, just a SIT advance from the
time of his purchase. The land cost
S11.3 in the first instance. Here are
the figures of the case: Land first
cost, $40 acres, at SIS, s11,320. Wheat
yielded 1875 bushels. at "a cents a
bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 1850
bushels, at 2S cents a bushel, 1855.
Offered for land, $40 acres at $35 an
acre, s22.400. Increase value of land.
$10.SS0. Total earnings of crop, ST.
$50, together with increase in value OF
land, a total of s2S, $40.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1912 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1877 bushels to the acre. The
figures are a fair indication of the av-
erage throughout the district.

Oiled Roads Break Scent.
FROM Popular Mechanics.

The futility of hunting fugitives with
bloodhounds, when the trails OF those
sought lead across the modern oiled
thoroughfares, was demonstrated re-
Gently III 0ah Park, a suburb or Chi
cago. Many robberies resulted in an
addition to the police force Of two
bloodhounds. Tests were made of the
dogs ability to follow trails, and all
proved successful until the person
making the trail took to an oiled street.
The scent was Immediately lost, ac-
cording to the police. and the dogs were
unable to pick Ii up again.

From The Outlook.


A bank teller was asked by a woman
for a new envelope for her bank book.
1t was passed out, and the lady behind,
noting hat her own envelope was a
trifle dingy also asked for a fresh one.
The third woman said, me, too" or
words to that effect, and so it went
down the line. When the ~teller's pa
thence and his stock of envelopes
threatened TO give out he determined
to call a halt.
A fastidiously dressed lady appeared
at the window, holding out a perfectly
gloved hand.

she.

The lady flushed and began to look
comical.

Civilization.

CIVILIZATION
Run like mad to make a train
And find the train is late:
Wake up with an awful pain
And wonder what you ate;
Read non but best selling books
And can't tell what you've read;
Talk of dresses. cash and cooks,
Or who is being wed;
Live some place a little while
And then desire to move;
Every week a change of style
To keep US from a groove;
Busy signals on the phone
Just when you want TO talk:
Auto tires to hits are blown
And then you have to walk;
Modern transportation lines
without a place to sit;
Landscape hid by painted signs
That make you throw a fit;
Daily scandal owe graft
And statesmen swearing mad;
Half the people wholly daft
And everybody bad;
Noise around and on each side
And smoke all through the air,
People rushing e~ager-eyed,
Not getting anywhere:
Someone makes a hit today,
Tomorrow he's forgot;
All must work and one may play
This is the human lot.
Modern work and modern life,
Advantages supreme,
A whirling, seething, endless strife
How restful 1t would seem
To find the olden, golden days
That we have long despised,
And ~ignorantly walk u ways
And be uncivilized!
