SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE
THE FARMERS OF CENTRAL CAN
ADA REAP WHEAT AND
RICHES.

Up in the Provinces Of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such q quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield so hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds OF proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiva-
ton of the lands in these provinces.
Almost any section of the country Yin
do as well.
With the country recently openedty
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest
the great transcontinental lines to ga
ter the field of the development OF the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy a section of land break 1t
up and crop it, make $17,550 out OF
the yield and $40 $3.50 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, well known
farmer within a few miles Of Regina
Mr. Bailey bought the Gao acres
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats.
The wheat yielded 1875 bushels, and
the oats yielded ALSO bushels. The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth S17,550
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of S35 an acre,
just a SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost 81, 1920 n
the first instance. Here are the
ures Of the case-Land cost, 64Q
acres, at SIS, $11.320. Wheat yielded
1885 bushels, at "a cents bushel,
$16,695. Oats yielded 1850 bushels
at 2S cents bushel, SS55. Offered
for land, GAO acres at $35 an acre,
2,400. Increase value of land, $10,SS0.
Total earnings of crop, $17,550, togeth-
er with increase in value of land to-
tai of $2S,540.
1t is interesting to note the figures
of the yield per acre. The wheat
yielded 1914 bushels to the acre, and
oats 1857 bushels to the acre. The fig
ures are fair indication Of the aver
age throughout the district.

to build a block house without that
distressing appearance of sameness
that characterize some Of the earlier
structures.
Cement plaster houses are cheaper
to build than either of the two forms
previously described. They present a
neat appearance also, and any desired
surface treatment is possible in this
form of construction. We show here
the design of cement plaster house
of the advanced type. The frame is of
wood and the exterior is lathed over
Turing strips placed over tar paper
on the sheathing. Two coats Of ce-
ment are used, the first being
scratched while still wet to make a
| holding surface for the second.
This house is 23 feet 6 inches wide,
and 81 feet 6 inches long. One of the
striking features about the design is
| the porch, which also is of cement
plaster construction. This house is in
dividual in it's style and while plain
is not severely so. 1t has large liv-
ing room, 10 feet inches by II feet
/ in size, with triple window provided
with window seat. This room is
used also as a dining room and the
kitchen is placed conveniently ada
cent. The kitchen is 10 by 10 feet in
size, and provides room for a table If
the use of that room is preferred as
a dining room. A bedroom and toilet
room are also on this floor. On the
! second floor are three bedrooms and
a bathroom. The cost of this house
is about the same as that for frame
structure.

house. There is another class called
cement plaster houses that are in
vogue in many parts of the country
and are giving satisfaction. The mon
olithic house is one with built-up walls
reinforced by steel rods. Houses of
this type require some additional
treatment of the exterior surface to
secure a finish that will be present
able. This is a comparatively new
proposition for the designer. The prob
lem has been how to overcome the
dull appearance of large surfaces built
of cement whose displeasing appear
ance is due often to unsightly stains
and other discolorations. These diff
ficulties have been overcome so that

New Wireless System in Russia.

The military department at st. Pc
tersburg is taking considerable inter
est in new system of wireless teleg-
raphy which has been invented by a
Russian student, It is claimed that
messages have been sent from st.
Petersburg to Sevastopol and received
accurately. One of the principal fea-
lures of the new system is that mes
sages cannot be tapped by outside sta.
tions, and it is intended to build a
station in the Ural mountains to con-
meet with a similar station to be built
in Vladivostock. The station will be
built by the military engineers at q
a cost Of about $4,000 geld.

the jurisdiction of the architect, while
the execution or finish, depends upon
the contractor or the manufacturer.
The artistic effects of concrete struc-
lures will, therefore, depend on the
cooperation of the architect and the
contractor. The former must realize
that he is dealing with a comparative
ly new material, having it's own char
acteristics, and to which he should
give careful study.
Instead of endeavoring to transform
the material itself he will do far bet
ter to adapt to his needs this mate
rial which has special characteristics
The tendency has been for designers
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-01-08

1t is generally conceded that the
employment of concrete in construc-
ton has added a marked impetus to
architectural study in recent years.
The pliability of cement mortar and
it's coarser accompaniment, concrete,
makes it readily adaptable to any
form or design the architect may
create. In many parts of the country
the architects are applying them
selves to this subject, and beautiful
effects have been produced. Recent
progress in cement construction has
been most noticeable along the line of
appearance 1t is now being used for
face work in the higher classes of res
licences where formerly it was not
thought possible. For many years the
unsatisfactory appearance OF struc-
lures built of this material has pro-
hibited it's use for the facing of high
class structures, and this difficulty in
the use of a material which is other
wise superior to all other materials
used for the same purpose, on account
Of it's durability, has been lamented by
architects and engineers. 1t has only
been during the past two years that
any real progress has been made in
devising means to improve it's ap-
pearance and to do away with this OBJ
lection. In the past the necessity of
artistic and pleasing effects in con-
crete have not been so apparent, since
the material has been used mostly in
masonry and other heavy construc-
ton, but with the growing demand for
it's use in the higher class of build
ings this difficult problem is being
forced to the front. Concrete struc-
lures, like those built of the older and
common materials, depend on two
factors for their artistic effect. First
design; second, execution. BY far the
most important of the two is the de-
sign, which lies almost exclusively in
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-01-08

to use cement to initiate other mate
rails. This practice seldom gives sat
isfactory results from an artistic
point of view. Contractors should as
sist the architect in giving cement
surfaces an individuality of their own
by following out to the last letter the
architects views. Buildings made of
concrete, and here we mean dwelling
houses, are divided into two classes,
the monolithic and the concrete block
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-01-08

now the road seems clear for this
form of construction. The surface is
brushed with a wire brush while still
damp, or is painted with a neat &C.
ment paint. Block construction also
is making rapid progress along artis-
tic designs, so that now it is possible

The time is at hand when the ex-
perieDced automobilist begins to study
the problem OF what next years ma
chine shall be, while the about to be
motorist IS even more deeply worried
by the same question Z To both these
perhaps these suggestions-or maybe
they are only reminders-may not
prove amiss:
Even while the purchaser of a new
car is not a novice at the game, It
does not by any means follow that he
has nothing to learn. His old and his
new car may be of the same type and
similar in general design, but there are
always sure to be number of details
that differ, and it is these that the
new owner must study carefully and
master If he wishes to guard against
running into trouble, as he Is almost
sure to do if he starts off with only q
superficial inspection of the car.
One of the chief things to study in a
new car is its system of fabrication.
which should be free and plentiful.
with due consideration for the trou-
'bies induced by excessive supply to the
cylinder. This usually causes rapid
fouling of ignition points. But a new
cylinder generally lets more oil past
the piston at first than it will eventual
ly do after a little running, so the oil
supply should not be cut down too
much because Of this symptom unless
it continues after the car has been
thoroughly shaken down" by use
All important nuts and bolts should
be scrutiniZed after a run, especially
those supporting detached parts of
the mechanism. such as the silencer,
carburetor, piping, pumps, etc, not, of
course, emitting those Of the steering
and brakes. 1t is not always super
fuous to verify the freedom of gaso-
line, water and lubricating oil pipes
from Instructions arising from dirt or
waste left in the tanks.
Coming to the novice, he may find

impossible, of course. to introduce here
all variations necessary with some
types: First I'LL the gasoline tank, US
ing funnel with a strainer. Next fill
the water tank and see that the tap

lions of those on the other side. After
the two firms of attorneys have settled
all their differences the mortgage is
generally submitted TO another set of
expert legal advisers, who criticise It
from every possible point of view. All
this takes a great deal OF time and
costs a great deal of money.

cially when il is to be the basis for an
issue Of bonds it is desired 10 dispose
of in the open market. is a task far
greater than most people have any
idea OF. Sometimes months of con-
tinuous labor, elapse between the be-
ginning of the first draft and the final
approval Of the last revised copy by
those most directly concerned. The
primary object of such a formidable
legal instrument is. of course, to define
clearly and exactly what the uortga-
gor will DO. The individual or COM
pany in whose favor the mortgage is
drawn, however, through his attorney
seeks TO protect himself from every
possible contingency. Some of these
possibilities that are sought to be
guarded against appear to be absurd
to the lay mind.
Some years ago a boat line whose
vessels piled on a certain river desir-
ed to mortgage it's property and issue
bonds. Ore of the provisions of the
legal Instrument provided what should
be done in the event of the river dry
ing Gp or Becoming impossible to navi-
gate. As the stream was a mighty
food Of water at all seasons, the pos
sibility of this contingency arising
seemed out of all reason, but the attor-
neys for the mortgage insisted upon
its insertion. Nothing has happened
to the river as yet.
The commoDest weakness of mort
gage and one that may escape the
ordinary eye is not the use of the
wrong word to express the desired
meaning. but the use of not exactly
the right one. After the mortgage has
been worked into shape so that its
provisions are, satisfactory to both
sides the lawyers who draw the mort
gage in the first instance prepare a
list of words about whose meaning
they fear there may be some dispute
and turn this list over to the expert
etymologist who is in charge Of the
library in every big Office. This man
prepares a report which shows not
only the dictionary definition of each
one of these words, but also furnishes
list of all legal decisions that have
been made relative TO its exact signifl-
canoe. This expert. being, advised of
the particular, shade of meaning 1t Is
desired to convey. also furnishes an
opinion as to what is the right word,
supporting his statement by a list of
such legal decisions as may apply. All
these reports are carefully bound to-
gether and become part of the mass
Of papers. sometimes weighing many
pounds, that accumulates while the
mortgage is being drawn. They are
fled away when it is finished.
After the mortgagor's counsel have
completed drawing up the instrument

the attorneys on the other side, who
pick as many flaws as possible in it
