WESTERN GAHADA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1908.
AMERICANS PRoFiTED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATISFAC-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada,
has completed it's returns of the show
ing of Western CanadA's grain yield
for 1908, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was a
total wheat yield of about 1O7, 00o, 900
bushels, worth to the farmer about
SS5. 600 900; in addition to this the oat,
barley and fax crops were worth an
other S35, 100000. 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
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
'Mr. M. v. McInnnes, Detroit, Mich
igan: / am well satisfied with All
berta. This country offers excellent
opportunities for anyone to make a
if he is willing to put up with a few
hard knocks for the first two or three
years. But it is worth a few hard
knocks to get a 160-acre farm of rich,
productive land with no mortgage on
it. This province is we'll fitted for
grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthfu1, 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.
1.-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 a 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
stead I took was rs miles from rail-
road town; now there is a railroad rs

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
sid notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
On the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and I both loved coffee and
thought it was a bracer." (delusion.)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee. and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum
when we made it right we liked it
and were relieved of ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
-fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden.
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
