What A FORMER OREGON
FARMER THINKS OF WEST
ERN CANADA.

Albert Nelson left Benton Co., Ore
gon, in Sept, 1904, for the great
Canadian prairies. To quote from his
letter: Il was greatly surprised to
find such an immense stretch of rich
virgin prairie still almost unoccupied
in the very heart of North America
The splendid crops of oats, wheat, bar
ley, potatoes and hay l beheld in the
settlements made me very eager for a
piece of this rich soil, and / soon To-
Gated in the Goose Lake country. We
have here great stretch of the rich,
deep clay loan of the saskatchewan
soil heavy and hard to break, but
particularly well adapted for the re:
tention Of moisture and production OF
the bright No. hard wheat, and
great crops of oats, barley, flax and po-
tatoes. had 60 bushels of oats,
weighing AL lb. to the bushel, per
acre. Some of my neighbors had still
greater yields. Wheat yielded from 20
to 80 bushels per acre. We have all
done well here, and I could name
many Americans who came here with
means to go ahead, who have done
big already For homesteads one has
to go further west, but the best prai-
rie can be bought here for from $1,000
to $1,000 per acre. The climate is
dry and healthy. This is The regular
Saskatchewan fall weather = frosty
nights, and bright, sunny days-ideal
for threshing and hauling out of
wheat. The trails are dusty, as thou.
sands of wheat teams are moving
towards the elevators.
"The sight of it makes one stop and
wonder what it will be in a few years
when the immense prairies get under
cultivation Heavy snowfall is the
exception here. Snow generally fails
in December and goes off in March.
1t sometimes gets very cold, but the
Saskatchewan farmer does not fear
the cold. Winter is his season of
rest. The first or second crop he
builds a comfortable house for him
self, and warm stables for his horses
He need not, like some, be poking
about in the mud all winter attending
a few beasts for livelihood"

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
Il am sixty-five and have had good
deal of experience with coffee. / con.
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children.
when | drank coffee | had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
year ago l had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous ]
could not sleep, and was all run down
"At last, after finding that medicines
did me no good, decided to quit cof
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using 1t six months fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations, car
sleep sound and my rheumatism is al
gone" There's a Reason"

Unfortunate Expression.

That fruitful source of mirth, the
mixed metaphor, is ever with us. 1t
illustrates on almost every appearance
the truth of the saying that the sub
lime and the ridiculous are but step
apart.
In book on the laboring man, con-
tanning some excellent ideas, there
appeared the following sentence:
What manner of woman is she who
would turn her eyes toward other
things, which would become ashes on
her very lips?"
The fiippant answer is, of course, "a

OATS VARY IN WEIGHT.
Lighter They Are the Less Their Nu-
tritiVe Value.

The difference in the weight per
measured bushel of oats in various
parts of this continent is very marked.
In some instances the weight runs
down to "a pounds. In other instances
it runs up to so pounds. The feed
ing value, therefore, will be affected
somewhat proportionately. The legal
weight of bushel of oats in
most of the states is 80 pounds.
In Canada it is "a pounds. In
Maryland it is only 26 pounds, and
in some of the eastern states it is 80
pounds.
The weight of oats is affected by
variety, by the weather and by the eli
mate, says Prof. Shaw, in Orange Judd
Farmer. AS a rule, the larger and
pumper the grains, the more heavily
will the oats weigh. When the wealth
er is such as to produce an excessive
amount of growth of straw, the weight
of the grain suffers accordingly. When
1t produces an insufficient amount of
straw. the quality of the grain is again
affected. adversely. When the wealth
er induces rust in the straw, there is
corresponding shrinkage in the grain
in size and in weight.
The greatest influence, however, is
that of weather. Cool temperatures
at harvest time, which ripen the grain
very slowly, are favorable to the pro-
duction of heavy kernels and plump
grain. This explains why it is that oats
are usually heavier in the Canadian
northwest and in the American north
west, also, than in states farther south.
1t also explains why in the southern
states oats, as rule weigh lightly.
The difference in the feeding value
of oats is very considerable. 1t would
not be correct to say that the differ
ence is exactly proportionate to the
difference in the weight of the grain.
1t is correct to say, however, that the
difference is very marked when the
oats are dealt out to animals by
measure.

EaSy,

Once there was an old woman who
lived in shoe. She had SO many
children that at first she didn't know
what to do.
A friend of the family who hap.
pened to come along just then, how.
ever, made the following suggestions:
To put one of them in factory.
To have couple more operated on
and otherwise fused over by the doc
tors.
To put a couple of them in coal
mine.
To send one to a modern public
school.
To bring up another on a pure food
diet.
Which no sooner having been car
ried into effect than the old woman
settled down to life of ease and lone
someness.-New York Herald.

Why Failure Comes.

Most failures come from planting
varieties that are not adapted to the
particular soil, location and climatic
conditions. High-priced novelties are
worked upon intending purchasers by
the smooth-tongued nursery agent
They look good on paper and the talk
the agent gives of some varieties
makes them appear truly something
wonderful. Better results can be OBJ
tanned by sending direct to reliable
nursery. AS a rule, plants can be
bought cheaper and they will be bet
ter adapted to your soil and condi
tions.

Exercise for Plas.

Exercise for the pigs is very i'm
portant, To confine them in small
pen during the winter is to fail in al
most every instance Their nest may
be small In fact 1t should be small
enough so that 1t will be kept warm
by the heat of their bodies, but they
must have opportunity to run about
Exercise develops the muscles, keeps
up the appetite, and goes as far as
any one thing in promoting the health
of the pigs.

Law out in Lona Rows.

The garden should be laid out in
long rows and rows wide enough to
ad1szit the use of horee and cultivator.
Most of the work of keeping plants
free from weeds can be done with
horse and cultiyator, and If plants are
heavily mulched with straw or any
coarse litter. weeds can be kept down
more easily around and between the
hills, thus saving considerable
lamount of hoeing.
