fatty and obstinately refused to take
his medicine. After a somewhat pro-
longed and Intellectual argument with
him, his mother at last set the glass
of medicine down, leaned her head on

the sight of his mothers stricken atti-

mother, dear?"
Without removing her hands from
her eyes, she replied: I'm grieved
that my son won't take his castor oil

Whereupon Teddy sat up in bed and
offered consolingly: "Oh, wouldn't

Father will be home soon and he'll

"QUANTITY, DUAL.

The THREE ESSENTIALS THAT

The reports from the grain fields Of

1909 has not only kept pace with pre-.
vious years In proving that this por.
tion of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but 1t has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain OF contentment and satisfac.
tlon. In the distribution OF the con.
ditions causing It no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that

largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded zoo million bushels,
the greatness Of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast for Canada has the land and II
has the soil Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Can.
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels. or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-

ming of its development. AS Lord
trey recently pointed out IN speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
| farmer, who takes care of his soil,
who gets his seed-bed ready early, is
certain of splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the

vastly instrumental in the assistance
| they are rendering to let the world
