THE RACE OF SUCKERS"

The latest device TO separate hard
working fools from their earnings
seems to be a "hOg-raising" concern,
or rather a concern which alleges
that it is going to raise hogs from

Call it a lady hog, as the basis of
profit is alleged rabbit-like fecundity
of the animal and il is the lady hogs
which multiply fastest.
At the present prices of hogs in this
market that would buy a porker of
about twelve or fourteen pounds in
weight, at which weight they might
be five or six weeks old. As pOrkers
of that age always sell repatively
higher than those ready to be eaten,
about a ten-pound pig is all that can
be expected
Now, while il is true that the lady
hogs under favorable circumstances
are quite prolific, they do not begin
to multiply for some little time after
they are born. a brood sow beginning

HARVESTER At WORK
Uncounted Miles of Bountifuh
Crops Make Glad the Farmers
Of Western Canada.
YIELD WILL BE RECORD ONE
Practically Beyond Reach of Accident,
the Fruit of the Fertile Fields
is Being eashered-EIevators
and Railroads Will Be Taxed
to Their Capacity.

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon,
our weeks ago, the writer started for
a twenty-mile drive into the country,
from n 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,
would have been repeated the
same great vista of wheat.
What a wealth! Here were nun
dreds and thousands, and millions of
bushels OF what was declared to be a
quality of grain equal to any that has
e 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
toDa was contemplating how much he
would realize out Of his crop, now
past any danger of accident, over
his antfcipations 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 $6,40O, and
pay it in cash" Another, with a field
of fax-it was only 800 -acres-said

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 ~benefcent 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
it might have been as though a trans
fer had been made across a township.
There were wheat fields, oat fields,
barley fields and fax fields, and many
more that could not be seen. Yet
there they were, and during the night
we had passed through a country sim
ilarly cultivated.
1t will all secure a market and get
its way to ocean or local mill by
means of the great railways whose
w~ellarranged systems are penetrating
everywhere into the agricultural parts.
Prosperous Alberta.
We afterward went over into AL
berta, and here again it was grain and
cattle, cattle and grain, comfortable
farm homes, splendidly built cities
and towns, the best of churches and
the most thoroughly equipped schools.
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 SIS 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

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 I believe it.
Throughout all this great country.
practically 500 by 500 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 SIS to SIS per

or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat.

Throughout all parts Of Saskatche-
wan, whether north, south, east or
west, the same story was heard. n
the evidence was seen of the splendid
and bountiful crop.
Rich Yield In Manitoba.
In Manitoba it was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers a bumper yield.

he 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 u
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 a 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
We're 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,
were "hooked UP" and driven on, un-
der a sun still high in the heavens,
with the horses pulling on the bit and
travelling at a 12-mile an hour gait
over a road that would put to shame
many of the macadamized streets, we
were whirled along a sinuous drive
through the woods and then out in the
park country.
Here was another scene of beauty,
groves Of poplar, herds of cattle,
fenced fields of wheat and oats and
barley and fax. Here was wealth,
and happiness and surely content
ment. The crops were magnificent.
The settlers, most Of them, by the
way, from Iowa, had selected this To-

to marry the accomplished daughter
