Never Saw such Fine Wheat Any.
where.
uust. anderson Of 81
katchewan, was formerly of Minnesota,
and has been in Central Canada three
years. On January Is. 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone. I bought a couple Of steers from
a rancher. as my capital was not large,
and with the two oxen | brought with
me, ! broke 25 acres which I put In
crop in 1908, and had to clear some
brush. earned $4,000 by breaking
hfteen acres for a neighbor and dur
Ing the summer / put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding aheavy
frost on August 18th, / had 22h bush
els OF wheat per Lei and so bushels
of oats. Off 35 acres Of wheat in 1909,
got ~ bushels of wheat per acre
and 1900 bushels of oats OF 20 acres.
| never saw such fine wheat anywhere.
We have plenty Of rain between May
and August and after August seldom
any but dry, warm days. Water can
be had at from 20 to 40 feet, and
plenty of grass for cattle"
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is Civ
en- because 1t is encouraging to the
man of small means who is DESTROYS
OF lettering his condition. It shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on Can
adfan lands. And the grain that he
raises is good. A press dispatch says:
The quality Of the wheat continues
to be the feature of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the Febru-
airy inspections there were 2,847 of
high grade stuff, a percentage Of 1928.
Fer January the percentage was 1921,
and for the six months 1t was 1876.
This is an unusually high average, and
1t demonstrates beyond the shadow Of
a doubt that the farmers in this part
of the Dominion still know how to
grow first class wheat. The crop of
1908 vas considered good enough, and
Its average Of contract wheat was only
70 per cent. Good weather through
out the season was an important fac
tor, Of course, in insuring the high
quality of the grain, and it Is not
likely that atmospheric influences OF
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time to come. The
best that can be expected is that a fair
average for a term OF years will be
maintained.

Dangerous RaiIroadina.

A newspaper writer. meeting Lord
Brassey at Red Bank, N. j., asked the
distinguished foreigner If he feared to
travel on American railroads.
oh. no."S Lord Brasscy answered.
American railroads kill a good

must remember that they carry q. good
many people a good many miles. L pro-
portion, probably, they do no more dam
age than the railroads Of France or OF
Scotland.
The Scottish railroads used to be very
dangerous indeed. To ride on them was
Like travelling through a desolate country

1t was a hard thing to account for.
The lady didn't have the dog on a

he seemed to be very familiar with his
mistress skirts, and once in a while,
as he wagged his tail. there would
come a flash of her ankles. The reas-
