HE HAD $4,000 IN CASH IN 1908;
NOW WORTH 100000.

Ny parents were originally Cana
dams from Essex County, Ontario. l
was born in Monroe County, Michigan,
from which place moved to Red Lake
Falls, Minnesota, where l farmed for
% years. l sold my farm there in the
summer of 1903 and in September OF
that year came to Canada with my
wife and eight children. / had about
$500 in cash, team of horses, COW, a
few sheep and some chickens. took
up a quarter section of land near Jack
Fish Lake, Meota P. o., and later on
purchased for 100000 an. adjoining
quarter section. I have now as head
of cattle, number of horses, good
buildings and consider my holding is
worth at least 100000. My children
have raised from $500 to $500 worth
of garden truck each year since we
have been here. I have never had a
poor crop and have never had one
frosted. My wheat has averaged from
25 to 80 bushels per acre with one or
two years considerably more. My
oats have always yielded well up to so
bushels per acre and once or twice as
high as IS. My cattle have never been
stabbed in winter, and do not need it.
/ consider that this country offers bet
ter opportunities for settlers than any
where l have ever been. I am sure
that almost any person can come here
and buy land at say $500 per acre
and pay for it in one crop. My ex-
perience is that if a man farms his
land in the right way he is not likely
to have his crop frosted.
Most of the settlers in my district
are Americans and Canadians and l
know lots of them who came here with
little or no capital who are now do
ing well, but do not know of any who
have left through disappointment, or
becoming discouraged, have returned
to their former homes

ers. The Bronze retains as much Of
the wild nature as any other variety,
perhaps, and we have had great
deal Of experience with that breed Of
turkeys. They are very likely to wan
der and they will seek remote places
for their nests, but after all they are
quite a domestic fowl, and can easily
be kept in love with their home and
prompt to return to 1t at night. They
will learn to go where they can find
feed A neighbours wheat field in sum-
mer, or corn shocks in autumn may
win them If feed is scarce in the fields
at home, but If they have ready feeds
at morning and night, they are not so
apt to stray from the home grounds;
and If they have suitable roosting
place where they are not disturbed
at night, they are very likely to re-
turn to it every evening.
And the farm that supports flock
of turkeys will not support so many
grasshoppers and other insects as will
the farm that has no turkeys. Many
times have we been in the fields with
the turkeys and watched them catch
these pests. We have seen them take
their places in a row as regularly as
men could place them, and thus march
across a pasture or freshly harvested
meadow or wheat or oat field, and
the grasshopper or other insect that
rose before them was sure "goner.
We believe turkeys may thus benefit
a farm to the full value Of what 1t
costs to raise them. Besides they are
making of this worthless raw materi-
al a valuable market commodity.

CURE FOR EGG EATING HABIT
Feed and Care Is Only Remedy-Ar
range Nests In Dark Corner So
Eggs Cannot Be Seen.

In answering the query, "how can
one prevent hens from eating their
eggs," the Farm, Stock and Home
makes the following reply:
This habit is usually acquired by
fowls that are closely confined dur
ing the winter months, or are kept
in small yards The fowls long for
something to eat that they do not
have, and eggs on the floor or in open
nests seem to supply the deficiency.
You cannot cure them of this habit
by any form of punishment. Feed
and care for them in such way that
they will lose all desire to eat the
eggs, If possible to do so. Arrange
their nests in dark corners Of the

the moist paper an absolutely clear
imprint of the coin in a brownish
black. He describes the print as even
clearer than If he had linked the coin
and applied the linked surface to the
paper by careful pressure
Following his questionings he pro-
cured a few linotype lines of print,
face down, on like sheet of moist
paper resting upon like sheet of tin.
When the battery wires were connect
ed with the type metal and with the
tin sheet and current applied, every
letter showed from the type lines with
out blur or blemish.
Taking sheet Of zinc in lieu of the
tin, again the electrical influences
brought the same general effect,
though the crudest of hand methods
were used in applying the type to the
paper. Dry paper was not affected;
moisture was required for the proper
conductivity
After proving to his satisfaction
that, regardless of the pressure upon
the paper in contact the clearness
of the lettering was satisfactory, Mr..
Brembridge sought to discover a
chemical moistener for the paper
which would give the jet black effect
of ordinary printers ink and at the
same time preserve the whiteness of
the paper.
The great trouble was to secure per-
manency in the electrical imprint
For ten years Mr.. Bembridge wrest-
led with the solution of his problem.
Today he announces that everything
is accomplished and proved, not only
in the matter of jet black print with
out ink, but asserts that he is able to
print a newspaper in all hues of the
rainbow and with the one contact.
AS explained by Mr.. Bembridge, his
long searchings into chemical COM
binations for producing jet black
prints led him on into electro-pigmen-
tary combinations producible by oxi-
dizing processes More than all of
this, however, the assertion is made
that in treating the white paper some
of the cheapest of chemical elements
serve the purpose admirably and at a
cost far below that of the costly print
er's inks.
AS for the presses for turning out
the newspaper, they are greatly sim
plified, the ink troughs and rollers
disappearing altogether. The stereo-
type plate is used and in position on
the press is thoroughly insulated be-
low. while the roller surface which
guides the moist paper also is tnsu-
lated. The paper rollers are connect
ed with the positive magnetic pole.
while the stereotype plate is linked
with the negative and from the electric
power that runs the press the cleo

POULTRY HEALTH AND VIG0R
Prime Importance of These Qualities
in Breeding of Fowls Discussed
by Prof. Rice of Cornell.

Prof. James E: Rice, of Cornell uni
versity, speaking recently on Re
suits of the Second Years Expert
ments In Breeding for Constitutional
Vigor," before the New York State
Breeders meeting, said that it had
been felt for some time that the health
and yigor of the fowl is one of the
most important factors in poultry
breeding. Under forced feeding the
hens were brought up to laying $50
to 100 eggs each per year. This
meant a heavy strain on the hen, and
has resulted in constitutional weak
ness.
Just as Prof Rice had brought his
hens up to the high standard of lay
ing, he was dismayed to find that
only 40 per cent. of the eggs Matched,
and that only so per cent. of the chick
ems lived. To remedy this the hens
were given plenty of fresh air, green
food and exercise. They were al
lowed to range at liberty.
The big proposition in the poultry
business is to raise good strong
healthy chickens. The situation that
confronts us is that the period of use
fulness in the hen covers only about
two years, and if we are to make q
success of the business we must have
good strong chickens to replace our
fiocks.
The speaker then took up the mat
ter of cross-breeding. and described
the different experiments along those
lines at Cornell He said that nothing
had been gained in size or vigor by
crossing. and spoke emphatically
against the practice.

Gil Bembridge, London address not

1t was an accidental lead which Mr.
Bembridge picked up in his discovery
of inkless printing. 1t was about IL
years ago that, working in his labora-
tory with an electric battery, he had
spread sheet of tin on the table and
on the tin plate he had laid a piece Of
moist paper. The bare ends Of the
copper wires from his battery trailed
over this sheet of wet paper which
had stuck fast to the plate of tin.
His experiment originally was to dis
cover a certain electrometallurgic
action in connection with gold and for
the purpose of the experiment he
reached into his pocket for gold coin.
AS he brought handful of miscellane-
Gus coins from his pocket, a gold
piece slipped through his fingers, roll
ed upon the table and in catching
at the coin, he clamped the sovereign
upon one Of the connecting battery
wires and in firm contact with the
moist paper. In the effort at stop
ping the coin, too, the other wire
was pushed over until it lay in con-
tact with the sheet of tin. Then came

Just Homes.

A gentleman never snatches his
trousers away from his wife when he
discovers her going through his peck
cts. He only hopes she will leave him
enough with which to go downtown in
the morning He is perfectly welcome
to go through her purse any time and
help himself to anything he can find.
That is what married life means. A
man should not allow his feelings to be
hurt when his wife runs across loose
change or a roll in his pockets; he
ought to play the game and take such
little conjugal pastimes for granted.

MAKING PROFIT IN TURKEYS
Demand Is Always Greater Than Sup
ply and Prices Are Invariably
Good-Eat Many Insects.

The wild turkey in advance of the
white man had congenial home il
almost all parts of the United States.
Domestic turkeys are the descendants,
more or less direct, OF the wild ones.
Therefore, since the United States
was the original home of the wild
turkeys, it is clearly adapted to the
growing of the domesticated ones.
And no more profitable fowl can be
grown on the interior farms, says the
Up-to-Date Farming. The demand is
always greater than the supply, the
market is not cornered as is that of
most other farm products, and prices
are almost invariably good.
We suppose principal reason that
more turkeys are not raised is a dread
farmers have of their wild character
istics. Some varieties retain the wild
nature to greater degree than others,
but it Is a fact also that those which
have most of the wild nature are the
hardest fowls. And this is a quail
