VIZ ASHINGTON.-Duri the famous
w fight over the rules in the house
last month Representative Frank o.
Lowden of Illinois took his twelve
year-old son, George NJ. Pullman Low
den, to the house to listen to the de-
bates. The little fellow, who is
grandson of George NJ. Pullman, the
late Pullman car magnate, remained
through the exciting Saturday when
the rules were overturned and the
speaker reinvested with the gavel
after offering to relinquish it if the
house so demanded.
George sat with eyes glued on the
whirling dervishes in the arena of the
house. He was deeply impressed. Mr..
LOwden said, after the battle, George
can ask more embarrassing questions
than Jim Mann"
For several days the youngster
talked of nothing but the legislative
battle. Then he quieted down, but the
family discovered that he was busily
engaged in the preparation of a paper.
He worked till his father questioned
him, but no information was forthcom-
ing Of the purport of the document,
but on the third day he produced set
of rules for the government of the
public schools. Insurgency is the
spirit of every line.

WESTEN CANADIANS
A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust. Anderson Of Maidstone, Sask,
was formerly of Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January 16. 1910, he writes:
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid.
stone, bought couple of steers from
rancher, as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me, broke 25 acres which put
in crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. I earned $45.00 by breaking
fifteen acres for neighbor and dur
ing the summer I put up. hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, had 225
bushels of wheat per acre and so
bushels of oats. Off 35 acres of wheat
in 1909, 1 got 27 bushels of wheat
per acre and 1900 bushels of oats of
20 acres. I 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 cat
tle''
The evidence of Mr.. Anderson is
given because it is encouraging to the
man of small means who is desirous
of bettering his condition. 1t shows
what can be done, and there is really
but small limit to the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian 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 February
inspections there. were 2,S47 of high
grade stuff, percentage of S4.2S For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months it was $50. This
is an unusually high average, and it
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 was considered good enough, and
its average of contract wheat was
only 70 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, of course, in insuring the
high quality of the grain, and it is not
likely that atmospheric influences of
so favorable character will be en-
countered for long time to come.
The best that can be expected is that
fair average for a term of years
will be maintained.

MORE than one hundred thousand
AVE- motor cars were manufactured in
the United States last year, and the
manufacturers estimate that twice the
output will be sold in 1910 Has the
price of horses been lowered? Will
1t be affected in the future?
Men who deal in horses say that the
horse industry in general not only has
been unaffected by the development of
power vehicles. but the price of
horses has increased more than fifty
per cent within the last five year
TO prove this assertion, the horse
lover refers to the last report of the
United States department of agri-
culture. The report contains several
complimentary statements. about Dob
bin.
The government statistician has
found that since 1890 horses have in
creased S1.2 per cent. in price and
33.6 per cent in number. Two years
ago there were 1,1OS,OOO horses in
Kansas and $4,000 in Missouri. The
average value head was SS7 in Kan
sas and SIS in Missouri. One year
later-January l, 1909-the number
of horses in Kansas had increased to
1,152,000, with an increase in value of
two dollars a head. In Missouri on
the same date the number of horses
was $4,000 and their value had in
creased three dollars head.
The horse lover is careful to explain
that in arriving at the values given
the statistician has had to estimate
thousands of horses worth not more
than $1.4S each. which brings down
the average.

Horse Still Popular Despite the Auto

The veriest old wind-broken
skates have been sold on the market
this year for SIS EACH" remarked the
horse lover, "and a good draft horse
will sell for $3.50 any day"
Yes" replied the motorist after the
report has been read to him, 1.-The sta
tistics undoubtedly give the horse the
best of it; but notice that the animal
referred to is the farm horse. AL
though the steam plow and motor
truck have made encroachments upon
the usefulness of the draft horse he
still is indispensable. His city broth
ers have suffered from competition by
the motor car. What about the price
of carriage and saddle horses and the
nags that pull express and delivery
wagOns?"
Only the horses used for pleasure
driving have suffered in price from
the use of motor cars. Few motor car
owners keep 4 stable in addition to
garage and the result has been a de-
probation in the value of harness
horses. A matched harness team that
two years ago sold for $7OO or $500
will at present bring not more than
$500 or $500
The discarding OF carriage horses by
motorists may be the reason that the
price of horses purchased by the
United States has remained stationary
for the last year. Some of the horses
replaced by motor cars are bought by
firms that require better stock than
the ordinary wagon horse. There are
horses drawing hearses in Kansas
City today that few years ago were
owned by wealthy men who were
proud of their judgment of horsefiesh
When the motor fever attacked them
the horses were sold at the first price
offered
The wagon horse is no slouch
Every year his price has climbed un-
til today it is impossible to buy a
serviceable team for less than S4OO.
