traL Canada.
w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes to the Canadian Government
agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
l have neighbors living there, and
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past twenty years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels
of wheat per acre, 40 to 80 bushels of
oats
1t was the first week Of May when
| got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in their
crops, SO l only got fifteen acres broke
and seeded. They advised me, as it
was late, not to put in much wheat, so
| put in five acres wheat and ten acres
oats, one-half acre potatoes and vegeta-
bles. All kinds Of vegetables grow
well up there-sWeet corn, tomatoes,
onions, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage.
My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per
acre. for which I got &c cents, others
got so cents; oats threshed 50 bushels
per acre, for which l got 80 cents per
buShel. You see | was three weeks
late getting them in still 1 was salts
fed.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high for
such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of horse that
can pillow, from $3.50 up. 1 raised sixty
chickens and five pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways good marked for anything a
man raises, SO 1 have every reason to
be thankful, besides at the end of three
years | get my patent for homestead.
| heard of no homestead selling for less
than $1,000, so where under the sun
could an old man or young man do
better?

MUNICIPAL LACE MAKING.
Government of Austria Engaged in the
Business

In order to relieve the poverty of its
pcasantry the government of Austria has
gone into the lace business on large
scale. AS far back as 1850 it took steps
10 encourage lace making in the rural
districts. and now it has a system of
instruction covering the whole country,
with offices for the sale of the laces in
Vienna. London. Paris and New York
The country has been divided into cir
cults. with headquarters in the chief
town of each circuit, and from this CEN
ter teach ers. who are also business
agents, 90 through every village of the
circuit These teachers instruct the
women and cider girls, supply the ma
terials and designs and buy and pay for
the lace And along with the instruction
in lace making goes hygiene and other
teaching. which is said to have had a
marked effect upon the life of the peas
ants When the regular teacher moves
on to the next village an exceptionally
bright pupil is left in charge to direct
the work and assist the less gifted work
ers. Supplementary to this system of
travelling schools is lace making course
in the parochial schools, where the chill
dren begin in their tender years to learn
the beautiful art of lace making The
distribution of the work of the peasant
lace makers is in the hands of the I'm
perial Royal Austrian Lace industries
Through its foreign offices this Organiza-
ton keeps careful eye on the trend
of fashion. and thus the directors Of the
lace schools are kept constantly in touch
with the market.

found relief from many chronic all
ments by changing from coffee to Post
I'm as daily beverage is growing
each day.
1t is only a simple question of try
ing it for oneself in order to know the
JOY Of returning health as realized by
an Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been 81 coffee drinEer nearly
all my life and it affected my stom-
aCh-caused insomnia and | was sell
dom without headache | had heard
about Postum and how beneficial it
was, so concluded to quit coffee and
try it.
Il was delighted with the change.
1 can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has got
ten strong and I can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. 1 think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum
MY brother also suffered from stom-
ach trouble while he drank coffee. but
now, since using Postum, he feels SO
much better he would not go back to
coffee for anything

THE LARGEST BAROMETER.
Liquid Column Stands Normally {
About Thirty-seven Feet.


A huge oil barometer has been con
structed in the city Of FdenZa, Italy, as
a monument to It's distinguished citizen
Torricelli. the inventor of the barometer
the tercentenary of whose birth is cele-
brated this year. The liquid column in
such a barometer stands normally al
about 81 feet and its fluctuations are
read in feet, where those of the ordinary
mercury barometer are in inches. This
is due, Of course, to the fact that as oil
is much lighter than mercury 1t requires
a much higher column to balance the
pressure of the atmosphere.
1t was at first intended to use water
as the LIQUID, in which case the column
would have stood normally at about 80
feet; but this plan was abandoned, ow-
ing to the ease OF evaporation. Glycerin
was next tried, but the normal height
of the column was only y feet, and it
was desirable to have it much higher
Olive oil was finally chosen and is quite
satisfactory.
the top, where the height of the column
must be observed, is supported by a
monumental pillar of stone. This is
doubtless the largest barometer that ever
has been constructed, although it had
some famous rivals even during the life
time of 1orricelh.
Pascal, French philosopher, made
barometers Of different liquids, including
one of mixed wine and water, in Paris.
Zophar Mills of New York set up a
glycerine barometer in his house in 1887
and several water barometers have been
built of which the most notable was
probably that set up in the town of
St. Jacques in Paris by NJ. Jahbert in
1890.
The olive oil barometer of Faenza will
continue to hold the record for size until
some one succeeds in using a still lighter
liquid, in which case the height of the
barometric column will, of course, be
greater.-New York Herald.

any other female remedy. 1t has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with displacements, infiam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, il
Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means, had failed.
IL you are suffering from any of these
ailments, don't give up hope until you
have given Lydia e.. Finkham's Vege-

Educate the Row md c,;1

Farmers should assist and encour-
age the study of nature in our conn
try schools. 1t will encourage the bows
and girls to love their home and farm
life, and the city will have less attrac-
ton for them. They will be educated
to prosperous and higher plane and
be better able to keep in step with
the progress and change in civilization
and be better prepared to undertake
their business among the professions.
The time is past when the term "clod-
hopper" or 'hayseed" should be an
piled to the successful farmer.

Sheep ESperin ents.

An experiment which will be watch
ed with much interest by all New En-
gland, and which may be the means Of
revolutionizfng the present method OF
farming here. is about to be tried by
the Maplecrest Stock and Poultry Farm
Association, Springfield Mass.
The association is planning to bring
LOCO sheep from the western part OF
the country and put them on farms in
and around Middlefield and Beckett.
The sheep are merinos and will be
mated with dorset rams of local ex-
traction.
Some Of the reasons which prompted
the association to bring the sheep are
the decreasing ratio of the meat sup
ply and the constantly increasing popu-
lation OF the country.
Scotch herders viii be brought here
with the sheep and will be used in
stead Of dogs or fences to keep them
from straying, as it is claimed that
more care can be given by professional
herderS.

excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
beneficially and combining them most
/ Sdllfully, in the right proportions. with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup OF
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA and as the gen.
