THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up In the Provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov.
lnces, that compose Central Canada
have such q quantity Of land suitable
for the growth Of small grains, which
grow so abundautly, and yield so hand
somely that no fear need be feared
Of q 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 cultiva-
ton 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 cahe cited below:
To buy Q section Of land, break 1t
up and crop It, make $17,550 out Of
the yield ana SO, $3.50 out Of the increase
Of value all within the short period
Of two yearG. was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, well known
farmer within q few miles Of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the GAO acres Of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres Of oats.
The wheat yielded 1885 bushels, and
the oats yielded A.750 bushels. The
whole Of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth SIT $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at $1S an acre, and the other
day refused an offer Of $35 an acre,
Just q ST advance for the time Of his
purchase. The land cost 1920 in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures Of the case.-Land cost, GAO
acres, at $1S, &11,32O. Wheat yielded
1885 bushels. at "a cents bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded ALSO bushels
at 20 cents a bushel, 1856. offered
for land, GAO acres at $35 an acre,
$22, 400. Increase value Of land, $10,SSO.
Total earnings Of crop, $17,55O, togeth-
er with increase in value Of land to-
tai Of $28,540.
It is interesting to note the figures
Of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1914 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1887 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are a fair indication Of the aver
age throughout the district.
Agents Of the Canadian Government
in the different cities will be pleased
to give you information as to rates, etc.

COUGHING BURST


O0N0Uo ~ SteNtoe
A writer for the medical press
states that coughing is responsible
for the bursting Of blood vessels
quite frequently. A cough or cold
means Inflammation (fever) and con-
gestion, and these in turn indicate
that the body is full Of poisons and
waste matter. Simple relief, as found
in patent cough medicines, and whis-
key, often result in more harm than
good; as they cause more congestion.
A tonic-laxative cough syrup will
work marvels and here follows pre-
scription which Is becoming famous
for its prompt relief and thorough
cures. It rids the system Of the
cause, except It be consumption.
Don't wait for consumption to grasp
its victim, but begin this treatment,
which cures some in five hours. Mix
in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild
cherry bark, one ounce compound es-
sence cardiol and three ounces syrup
white pine compound. Take twenty
drops every half hour for four hours.
Then one-half to one e. teaspoonful
three or four times day. Give chill
dren less according to age.

KING SYSTEM or VENTILATION
Ito Adoption recommended, AZ lie uss
lnsures Abundance Of Air a
All Times.
(BY C. A. oCoCK, AGRICULTURAL
ENGINEER. WISCONSIN,

| (HY c. A. OCOCK, AGRICULTURAL
ENGINEER, WIsCoNsIN)
The King system of ventilation con-
ststs Of two sets Of fiues, one set pro-
vldes fresh air. while the other fur
nishes an escape for the vitiated air.
The fresh afr hues should be placed
not more than ten feet apart and To-
Gated In the exterior wall Of the barn.
No fear of putting in too many in
lets, since the greater the number
the more effective the ventilation. The
outlet may include one or more hnes,
but should be so located as to provide
the quickest means for removing the
foul air.
All stable walls and ceilings should
be nonconductors OF heat and cold,
otherwise moisture will collect as frost
in cold weather and drop as water In
moderate weather.
In station barn the flues for taking
out the foul air are two in number, one
midway in each side wall. These fues
pass upward to the left, where they
meet central chimney.
There Is also q ventilator flue open
ing from the ceiling into the bottom
Of the chimney for more rapid move
ment Of air in hot weather to keep the
stable cooler.
In winter this ventilator would sacri.
ice a large amount Of warm air and
the opening should be kept closed un-
til the stable becomes too warm.
The central flue is 40 inches In d.
ameter and rises so feet above the
floor The lateral flues which join the
main chimney are 10 by "a inches.
There are two objects in bringing
the ventilator shaft near the floor.
First, remove the waste products OF
the lungs produced by breathing. as
this foul air always settles near the
floor and animals are compelled to
breathe It with the impurities. Sec
ond, to dispose Of the cold air in the
winter rather than the warm. The
coolest air in a room is always on the
floor and the warmest at the ceiling.
The walls Of the barn are made Of
studding, sheeted up both inside and
out with matched lumber and building
paper. Several of the spaces between
the studding are used for fresh air
fiues
We have used this system for II
years and have found 1t to be entirely
satisfactory.
Wrong construction of foul air fiues
has sometimes led to the failure Of the
system. Some farmers make them like
any ordinary boxed openings and then
condemn the system because Of their
mistake.
To construct the fiue Of this kind
the lumber should be nailed closely,
covered with paper, and after the pa
per second thickness of lumber. This
will insure proper air capacity, as It
increases the friction of the moving
air In the flue.
A good ventilating fiue must have
the same qualities as a good chimney.
II should rise above the highest part
Of the roof so as to receive the full
force Of the air and wind.
The best location OF the foul air
fue, when only one is used, would be
in the center of the barn. II two
fues are used place one on each side
Of the middle Of the stable.

There Is no better material than
forest leaves to use in the compost
heap to make good soil for potting
plants or for general garden work
where the best soil is required. After
they have been used in the poultry
house or as bedding material they are
still more valuable. Leaves not only
add considerable available plant food
to the soil when used as q fertilizer,
but they readily decompose to form

Every union man should be vigil
antly on the watch for bogus hat
labels now, as several are in use in
New York and will soon be in use
everywhere else, If they are not al
ready The discovery of this fraud
was made by accident, but since then
the officials of the United Hatters of
North America have been vigorous in
their efforts to make it known and
warn union men against 1t.
At one of the Kaufman hat stores
in Brooklyn last week young man
asked for hat. Being a union man
he asked for a hat with union label.
oh, yes; we have nothing but
union made hats" said the obliging
clerk.
The label on the hat produced was
printed on red paper, and much
smaller than the label of the United
Hatters of North America. 1t was
about the size of postage stamp.
In a double circle in the center were
the words: Felt Hatters and Trim
mers' Union" and below the circle the
words "Union Made" and hands
clasped with the initials "A. ]. F. H,
F. H. t. and w. F."
This label was shown to Martin
Lawlor, secretary of the United Hat
ters of North America, and he at once
pronounced 1t bogus.

CLOTHING TRADES WIN FIGHT.
Victory is One of Magnitude and is
Complete and Decisive.

Not for years have the. clothing
trades in Greater New York won such
a notable victory as that just achieved
by the pants workers and knee pants
workers after a desperate contest of
seven weeks duration Never was a
victory more decisive or complete. At
the, commencement OF the strike the
pants makers were practically unor-
ganized, but today the 1000 who came
out to battle for justice are march
ing under the union banner. The re-
suits of the strike are, An increase in
prices from 20 to rs per cent; that the
operators be paid cash instead OF
checks, and the formal recognition of
the union. Three hundred esta blish-
ments signed agreements and will
hereafter be run as strictly union
shops.
