their legitimate value of $50 or $50 an
acre quite as quickly as the southerly
lands. And I 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 s1S 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.

the district north of Calgary and east

heads and promising from 80 to IS
= 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 it will shortly be known whether
the great anticipations are to be real

Throughout all parts of Saskatche-

In early stages the disease does not
appear to disturb the general health
of the fowl. AS it progresses the birds
become lame and sometimes the foot
becomes so badly diseased that joints
or even whole toes drop off.
The infection from bird to bird
probably takes place on the roosts or
from mother to chick. The conditions
which favor it's spread in flock are
dry, barren runs, especially on aka
line soils or in yards filled with ashes
or cinders. Foul roosting places also
favor the spread of the disease.
The disease is easily cured and it is
worth the trouble of any poultryman
to cure all the affected birds and to
carefully examine any birds purchased

to the scene being the roadways that

where would have been repeated the

What wealth! Here were hun

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 l thought of those

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

pay it in cash." Another, with a field

SCALY LEG DISEASE CURED
Contagious AiIment Affecting Under
Pinnine of Various Kinds of Birds
Caused by Little Mite.
(By ]. BAILEY BRUcE.)


A minute mite is the cause of con,
tagious disease affecting the legs of
fowls, turkeys, pheasants, patridges
and cage birds. According to some
authorities it sometimes affects the
comb and beak also. The mites exca-
vate places under the skin where they
live and breed.
This very common disease is easily
recognized by the enlarged roughened
appearance 1t gives the foot and
shank. The disease Is present in most
fiocks unless especial care has been
taken to exclude it. 1t is Slightly con-
tagious. but usually only few birds
in flock appear to be infected.
The scales on the foot and leg of an
effected bird is raised by crusty sub
stance deposited beneath them. The

MAYOR VS.. GOVERNOR.
Mayor Gibbes Refused to Recognize
Executive Clemency.

By refusing to release Bratton Pet
tigrew, young white man last
Wednesday, Mayor Gibbes, of Colum-
bia, raised the question of the right
of the governor of South Carolina to
extend clemency to prisoners con-
victed in the city recorders court.
Bratton Pettigrew was convicted be-
fore Recorder Werner on Monday
morning on the charge of drunken
ness and was sentenced to pay a fine
of SIS or serve 80 days on the city
chaingang. Wednesday the governor
! paroled Pettigrew on the condition
that he refrain from the use of whis-
key for one year and that he serve
out his sentence if convicted during
the year on the charge of drunken
ness.
Il was not consulted" said Mayor
Gibbes, as to the status of the case

Strange Names.

Some churches have interesting
and suggestive names. Take these
two, for instance: ''Pilgrim's Rest, ;"
and "Solid Rock" The first has in
it no hint Of work. The name sug-
gests rest and quiet, and even slum-
Der. To repeat it almost makes one
nod. 1t is so reposeful, so apart
from any suggestion of toll or battle.
If all churches were fittingly named,
there would be, perhaps, several Pill
grim Rests And 'Solid Rock"-just
what does this suggest? Is it not a
challenge to the gates of hades to
rise up and do their best? Is there
not in it assurance and defiance?
