WESTERN CAHlDA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1908.
AMERICANS PRoFITED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATISFAc-
TORY REPORTS.

Inc census branch OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada.
has completed its returns of the show
ing OF Western Canada's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
1nces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield Of about 107, 00O, 900
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$S5,000.000; in addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other $35,000,000. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these,
that of Rev. Oscar L. King has been
selected. He lives in the vicinity Of
Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who con-
template moving to Central Canada.
Every line of the letter is interesting.
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian

grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthful, more healthful than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero in winter, yet we do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
we did or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
THE Government takes great inter
est in the education Of the people and
quickly aids the settlers in establish
ing schools where they are called for.
The schools, though graded differently
than those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
has been the limited and Inadequate
railway facilities, but new roads are
being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
Of the province. The new policy Of
the Alberta government to construct
a great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
Of the country. If those new settlers
who have to go back considerable
distance from existing railroads and
towns to find free homesteads will
but locate along the line of project
ed railroad they will in two or three
years be near both town and railroad.
When I first came to this country
three and half years ago the home

road town; now there is railroad 25

Plants for Children.


MANY children, when quite young,
1VA get interested in their school bot
any and nature study and want to
have flowers Of their own. 1t is fool
ish to give them expensive plants.
They may tire of them at any mo-
ment, or forget them and let them
die. They can have just as much fun
with homely sweet potato or a hand
full of mustard seed, with the added
pleasure of trying an experiment"
Take an ordinary quart jar and a
sweet potato of sufficient size that 1t
will not go more than part way into
the jar. Put enough water in to cover
the bottom end of the potato, and
keep the water at this height. Roots
will come out at the bottom and green
shoots at the top, and presently there
will be a pretty vine hanging out from
the jar.
The mustard seed is pretty, too, and
takes up less room. Put an old sponge
in a saucer, make 1t thoroughly moist,
and sprinkle it with handful Of mus
tard seed. Keep it wet. The seed
will come out all green, and will look
like some fresh, growing ball. Do
not use flower pot saucer. The moist
ure comes through that to the table, or
whatever the plant" is placed upon.

Added a SAVING Clause.

A good old deacon in Connecticut
was very pious and very fond Of
clans. When once upon time he at
tended a Rhode Island clam-bake he
overtaxed his capacity and YVES sore
ly distressed. But his faith in prayer
was undated. Leaving the party and
going down on his knees behind a
tree, he was heard to supplicate:
Forgive me, o Lord, this great sin
of gluttony. Restore my health, and
1 will never eat any more clans"
Then after a judicious pause: Very

An Improvised Rack.

One ingenious housekeeper has hit
upon a novel rack for her back bath
room, much used by the children. She
unscrewed the curved wooden han
die of an old umbrella, bored hole
through the upper part for hanger
and stuck small screw hooks in the
handle at intervals. A large wooden
spool was slipped on the cut off part
of the handle for an ornament and
was covered with several coats Of gilt
paint.
This rack, when hung on the wall,
made convenient holder for towels,
washrags and some of the smaller
hooks were even utilized for tooth
brushes
