IRISH AND ALL RIGHT

"Oi'm an Irish lawyer af We
phase sor, and as live a mick as
liver We saw" thus announced John
T. O'Conner when showed up in
front of the booking window at
police headquarters this morning
after he had been brought in the
patrol wagon from Bernard and
Main, where he was thought to be
dying.
John T. was drunk, that was all,
and had fallen on the street so
often that rich, red, Irish blood
besmeared his features, causing
him to resemble a pug after his
first real battle.
With Detectives Weir and Miles
aboard, the wagon was dispatched
with all possible haste to the
street corner in response to call
that some poor unfortunate had at
tempted to end all by cutting his
throat, O'Conner was pretty much
the worse from the effects of liquor
and exposure to the chilly morning
breeze. but after being warmed up
at police headquarters, his condi-
ton improved.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. j. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
IL have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 TO co bushels of
oats.
1T was the first week Of May when I
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so I only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put I'm much
wheat, SO l put In five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one.half acre pota.
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg.
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots. peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
cents, others got so cents; oats
threshed 30 bushels per acre, for which
| got 35 cents per bushel. You see l
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still I was satisfied.
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 eve or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
AMI stack It for winter and give oat
straw. My %neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can plow, from $4,000 up. I raised
GO chickens and s pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay well and al
ways a good market for anything q
man raises, so I have every reason to
be thankful, besides, at the end of
three years I get my patent for home
