splendid country, all one beautiful pic
ture, and such an opportunity to use
ones imagination in figuring up the
amount of the wealth of the crops
through which the trip into town took
us, was not to be enjoyed every day.
And away we started.
1t was delightful. We drove and
drove through avenues of wheat,
which today, having yellowed with
the beneficent sun, is being laid low
by the reaper, stacked and threshed
by the thousands of hands required to
do it, and in great wagons is being
taken to the elevator.
A nights ride by train took us
through 225 miles of this great prov
ince of Saskatchewan-into the south
western part-and from appearances
1t might have been as though trans
fer had been made across township.
There were wheat fields, oat fields,
barley fields and fax fields, and many
more that could not be SEEN Yet

While talking with a Southern Sas-
katchewan farmer he said that the
land he was working, and for which
he had been offered $50 an acre, had
been purchased five years ago for $12
an acre, but he won't sell. He is
making a good profit on his land at
$50 an acre, and why should he sell?
Farther north, land was selling at
from SIS to $18 and $40 an acre. 1t
was learned afterward that the soil
was similar to that in the south, the
price of which today is $50 an acre.
The climate was similar and the mar
kets as good. In fact the only differ
ence was that today these northern
lands occupy the same position that
the more southerly ones did five years
ago, and there are found many who

BAD SHOEING
INJURIES FEET
Other Troubles Cause Horses to
Step GinSerIy When Elk
tended-Good Remedy
Is Recommended
CBy ]. BAILEY BRUcE)

d
Owing to bad shoeing and also
many other causes many horses suffer
with contracted feet.
The heels are narrowed and the
horse steps gingerly with desire to
extend himself when forced to trot or
gallop.
The writer is now using horse 81
years old and when he drove him for
the first time in December last saw
that he experienced great difficulty in
extending himself and especially on
rough or stony roads.
He was shod with heel calks on the
front as we'll as the hind feet and 1t
was very perceptible that the heels Of
his front feet were too narrow.
After three unsuccessful trials with
regular blacksmiths the horse was ex.
amined by competent veterinary sur
geon who pronounced his trouble TO
be contracted heels.
He had them shod perfectly level in
front. springs were placed in between
the back of his shoes to keep tht heels
spread and a piece of sole leather was
tackled across the hllows of the hoof
below the hoof and the shoes to pro-
tect the sole of the foot and break
the jar of travelling on rough and stony
places.
About once of twice. week a hoof
ointment consisting Of one pint OF
Meats foot oil with two tablespoon
fuls Of oil of tar was applied on the
outside of the front feet with soft
rag and then, raising the edge Of the
leather, little is poured over the
sole of the foot and a few drops in
the heel cleft.
Since the last shoeing and following
the treatment above described the
horse has improved wonderfully in his
road work and rarely flinches, even
going at a 12-mile-an-hour slip.

(By CAPT. A. II. WADDELL)
The most useful citizen the coun-
try can produce is the man who looks
upon the soil of the earth and says,
What can | grow from 1t or produce
upon it?"
Agriculture and live stock are the
main stays of humanity, and it is to
the husbandman and breeder that
kings and princes as well as the hum
BILE peasant must turn with thankful
ness and gratitude not only for the
blessings of life, but for existence it.
self.
Great Britain, the home and the
birthplace of the greatest breeders
and farmers the world has ever
known, owes this honored position to
the aristocracy of that country. 1t
was these people who of their means
and abundance sought for and ac-
CURED the ways of enriching and i'm
proving the soil and the animals that
grazed upon it.
Let an example by the highest in
the land, the country squire, the gen.
tleman farmer, and eventually the
tenant farmer himself, each to a
greater or lesser extent, strive to
copy the teachings of the lords of the
manor until a keen rivalry of the
most friendly nature sprang up be-
tween landlord and tenant, in a con.
test for supremac. in the productions
of the farm and the live stock that
were bred thereon.
Agricultural shows sprang up in
the various counties at which were to
be seen the great draft horses, cat
tie, sheep and swine of the large
landed proprietors, standing side by
side, though in lesser numbers, with
those of the tenant farmer and even
the humble cottager. Looking on and
keenly observant, could be seen the
noble lord with his wife and chill
dren as well as the tenant farmer
and the cottager with all the men,
bers of their households and waiting
for the verdict of the judges who in
those early days stamped themselves
as the master breeders, and whose
names are written down upon the
role of honor of England's great
breeders and agriculturists.
Today, not only do the titled peo-
pie, country gentlemen and farmers
of that land continue in their breed
ing and its still further improvement,
but the professional and business men
of the towns and cities have taken it
up to such an extent and with such
interest and consummate skill, that it
is difficult to find a man of wealth
who has a taste for breeding and
farming who is not occupying his leis-
ure moments in this way.
It is this splendid state of affairs
that has made breeding and farming
what 1t is in Great Britain today, and
while that glorious old country can
learn much from the great, young,
robust and healthy United States. 1t
is gratifying to see American gentle
men of wealth taking a lesson from
the mothers book and going in for
legitimate methods of pedigreed stock

ne could do the same and still have a
balance in the bank. Flax produces
wonderfully well, and the current
price is about $3.50 per bushel. We
then drove over into another town
ship, getting further back from the
railway, and the main travelled road.
Here we found ourselves in the center
of a Swedish settlement. Those form
ing the settlement were originally
from Nebraska Invited to put up our
horses and stay over for dinner, and
a dinner that was enjoyed not only on
account of the generous appetite Gre
ated by the exhilarating drive, but
also because of the clean linen, the
well-prepared dishes of roast fowl, po-
tatoes, cabbage, and a delightful des-
sert, some of the history of the settle
ment was learned. The host and
hostess were modest in describing
their own achievements, and equally
modest as to those of their friends
but enough was learned to satisfy US
that they had come there about three
years ago, in moderate, almost poor
circumstances. Most of them had re-
ceived their homesteads as gift from
the government, and by careful dill.
gence had purchased and paid for ad
joining land. They had plenty of cat
tie and horses, some sheep and hogs
and large well-kept gardens, showing
an abundance of potatoes and cabbage
and other vegetables. Their buildings
were good. Schools were in the neigh
borhood and there was evidence OF
comfort everywhere.
On to the Park Country.
Reluctant to leave these interesting
people, the horses thoroughly rested

say they will come into a price nearer
their legitimate value of $50 or $50 an
acre quite as quickly as the southerly
lands. And l believe 1t.
Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 800 miles square,
there are still great many home
steads which are given free to actual
settlers. Many who have secured pat
ents for their homesteads consider
their land worth from SIS to $25 per
acre.
Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion of
Alberta, district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, fax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands.
In Central Alberta, which comprises
the district north of Calgary and east
two hundred miles, through Camrose,
Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer, Wetas-
kiwin, Edmonton, Lacombe, Vegre-
Vile, Tofield, Vermillion and a score
of other localities, where are settled
large numbers Of Americans, the
wheat, oats and fax, three weeks ago,
was standing strong and erect large
heads and promising from 30 to 35
bushels of wheat and as high as 100
bushels of oats on carefully titled
fields, while fax would probably
yield from Is to IS bushels per acre.
In these parts the harvesters are
busy today garnering this great crop
and 1t will shortly be known whether
the great anticipations are to be real
lied.
Throughout all parts Of Saskatche-
wan, whether north, south, east or
west, the same story was heard, and
the evidence was seen Of the splendid
and bountiful crop.
Rich Yield In Manitoba.
In Manitoba 1t was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers a bumper yield,
and as high as 35 bushels of wheat
and 60 bushels Of oats was freely dis
cussed.
1t would appear as If the expecta.
ton Of an average Of rs bushels OF
wheat throughout the three provinces
would be met.

The example that these gentlemen
are setting in this country will be fol-
lowed by the same wholesome and
beneficial results in regard to farming
and pedigreed stock-breeding as was
achieved by the pioneers in England

find all the sections of this country

Great Havoc Wought by Women's

Many women destroy the beauty o.

ignorance of certain facts. They do
not shampoo their hair often enough,
or too often They use soaps or pre-
parations which contain ingredients
harmful to the scalp and hair.
AS a result of such treatment dam
druff is created, the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out, and badness com
mences. unless proper and prompe
precautions are taken in time. Then
again. microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Most people can rid themselves OF
dandruff and correct diseased scalp
and hair conditions, if they will use
the right remedy We have that rem
edy. and we will positively guaran-
tee that it will eradicate dandruff
and prevent badness or it will aot
cost the user anything.
