splendid country, all one beautiful pio-

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 sum-, Is being laid low

There were wheat fields, oat fields,
barley fields and max fields, and many
more that could not be seen. Yet
there they were, and during the night

TWO GOOD DINNER DISHES
Recipes for Lamb Chops With Stuffed

Lamb Chops With Stuffed Tomatoes.

fine, sifted bread crumbs; lay on a
rack in baking pan. For each chop
take firm but ripe tomato; cut a cir.

scoop out a little Of the inside; fill
the cavity with fine bread crumbs sea-
scned with salt, pepper and a little
melted butter, few drops of lemon

desired a little sugar may be dropped
into the tomato before stufflng It.
Cover with the circle cut of. Place
a tomato on each chop and bake in a
hot oven from 20 to 80 minutes. This
Is delicious served with creamed pota-
toes.
Stuffed Compete Of Apples-Select
large juicy apples OF equal size (pip-
pins are BEST. pare and core them,
leaving the apple whole; lay them in
mixture OF lemon juice and brandy
until they have acquired the taste;
then cook them three parts done in q
syrup OF sugar and water; drain care
fully and bake few minutes in a
quick oven; when done but still hot,
fill tie centers with pineapple jam,
with a few chopped almonds added;
cover each apple with a jelly pro-
duced by boiling down the syrup in
which the apples were first cooked,
with very little more brandy. This
syrup will give the apples a beautiful
glazed appearance. Arrange the ap-
pies on dessert dish and serve with
whipped cream poured around them,
or form apples in shape of a dome
and cover with meringue of beaten
whites OF eggs, powdered sugar and
vanilla, sticking over the top sweet
almonds cut in lengths. Place in oven
until meringue is delicate brown.

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 It.
Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 800 miles square,
there are still a 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 $18 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.

Vile, Tofield, Vermillion and a score
of other localities, where are settled
large numbers Of Americans, tho
wheat. oats and fax, three weeks ago,
was standing strong and erect large
heads and promising from 80 to 35
bushels Of wheat and as high as 100
bushels of oats on carefully titled
fields while fax would probably
yield from 10 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.
In a few days the 10000, 000-bushel
elevator capacity throughout the coun'
try will be taxed, the 25,000,000 BUSH
els capacity at Fort William and Port
Arthur will be taken up, and the rail-
ways and their equipment will be
called upon for their best. Today the
great, broad, yellow fields are indus
trial haunts, the self-binder is at work
in its giant task Of reducing into
sheaves the standing grain, the har-
vesters are busy stocking and stack
ing, the threshing machines are being
fed the sheaves, the large box wagons
are taking 1t to the elevators, and no
matter where you go 1t is the same
story and a picture such as can only
be seen in the great grain fields Of

On q beautiful Saturday afternoon,
four weeks ago, the writer started for
a twenty-mile drive into the country,
from one of the hundred or more new
towns that have been well started dur
ing the past spring, in the Province Of
Saskatchewan, in Western Canada.
Mile after mile, and mile after mile,
was traversed through what was one
continuous wheat field, the only relief
to the scene being the roadways that
led back into other settlements,
where would have been repeated the
same great vista of wheat.
What a wealth! Here were hun
dreds and thousands, and millions Of
bushels of what was declared to be a
quality of grain equal to any that has
ever been grown in the province. AS
we drove on and on thought of those
fellows down on the Board of Trade
at Chicago, st. Louis, Minneapolis
and Duluth. While they were exploit
ing each others energies the farmer
of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani
toba was contemplating how much he
would realize out Of his crop, now
past any danger Of accident, over
what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to me:
"The profits Of that field Of wheat will
give me sufficient money to purchase
800 acres of land, for which the rail-
way company is asking $4,000, and
pay It in cash." Another. with field

Some measure of comfort can be
obtained in the intense heat spells
which occur at intervals through the
summer, by noting that even when
the death toll is high, It is an exceed.
ingly small percentage of any given
total population. For instance, the
twenty who succumbed in Greater
New York the other day made but
an infinitesimal fraction Of the mil.
lions forming the population. AS a
matter of fact, even this mortality
which does exist could be reduced by
more care Of individuals for them
selves and more prudent attention to
heat conditions. 1t goes to prove thai

usual exactions If people are observ
ant enough of the ordinary laws o.

With coal and gas and even cleo

man saw no reason why steam should
not be turned to the same purpose.
Accordingly he invented the steam
cooker shown in the illustration. This
little stove can be attached to a
steam pipe in the house by connecting
up pipes which run through the bot

lower section will thus be heated so
that it can be used to fry on while
the inside can be used as an oven. In
