A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
OF sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual tor
ture from itching and burning. After
being given up by my doctor | was ad.
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment I en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. l also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end Of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. l would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti
cura Remedies as l know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

PineappIes in Queensland.

Altogether there are some 1900
acres devoted to pineapple cultivation
in Queensland, giving a yield of some
thing like ten million pines a year
Two crops are gathered during the 12
months. Most of the owner of the
plantations started without capital
and are now reaping about $3.50 an
acre net profit. it Is an industry from
which returns are quickly obtained

"QUANTITY, QUAIL
lTY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.

The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years in proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable Of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous There
Is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 800, 900
square miles there comes the strong
refrain Of contentment and satisfac-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing 1t no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
Of wheat for the country have been
made, but ii is not the vast total that
influences the general reader SO much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 1870 million BUSH
els-may have its effect ON the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now a fac
tor in the making of prices. If so to-
day. what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or 1870
million bushels, there will be from II
to 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield Of from 1926 to 600 million BUSH
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States but
slightly exceeded 700 million bushels,
the greatness of these figures may be
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and It
has the soil. Even today the Prov
lnce 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-
katchewan Is yet only in the begin
ming of its development. AS Lord
Grey 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-fve 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 a splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are resi-
dents in that country and who are
vastly instrumental in the assistance
they are rendering to let the world
know its capabilities.
