Patient Commends Sanitarium.

Editor River Press:
About a month ago l was severely
injured by being thrown from a buggy,
and suffered great pain and nervous
shock. I was for over three weeks in
the Fort Benton Sanitarium under
care of Doctors Porter and Houtz
and the nurses. I have had some ex-
perience with hospitals in several
states and know generally about them,
as usually conducted.
The Fort Benton institution where l
was cared for, is appropriately named
"Cottage Sanitarium," for the care
there given to the sick is not only
such the most approved and progress
sive science of medicine and surgery
requires, but in such q kind and friend
~ manner as to resemble the ministra-
tons OF q mother, wife or sister in the
patients home. Every proper want
was promptly and cheerfully supplied
and the most p~ainstaking and con-
scientious care rendered.
Not only in my own case was this
true, but when I became GONZALES
cent I observed that similar care and
treatment was accorded to others
Fort Benton is fortunate in having
such facilities to care for citizens who
need proper care during sickness.
No knowledge or intim alton of this
card has ever reached anyone con
nected with said institution.

FARMERS CANNING FACTORY.
Elmont, Mo-, R. F. D. No. l,

December 5, 1911.
Mr.. Thos. M. Brown, Springfield, Mo.
Dear Sir:--I bought one of Thos. Nj.
Browns canning factories five years
ago. 1t has made me more money
than anything l ever tried. Anyone
can make money on Browns factory.
The first year / canned, in 1907, / sold
my tomatoes at railroad station for
80 cents per dozen; in 1908 for IS
cents per dozen; in 1909 for rs cents
per dozen; in 1910 for IS cents per
dozen; in 1911 for $1.05 per dozen. In
1911 we had no rain from early April
until the goth of August, nearly 5
months. | planted 3 acres of toma-
toes and canned them. Those 8 acres
cleared me S 100000, after paying all
expenses for labor, cans, gasoline,
cases, etc. That is a nice sum to
make off of 3 acres of ground for a
dry se~ason-$333.33 per acre net. If
anyone doubts the above statement,
just write Peoples Bank of Sullivan,
Mo. Yours truly,
JOHN B. REBURA.
THERE ARE many farmers who do
not clear as much net cash on a 25-
acre corn crop as Mr.. John B. Rebura
cleared on one acre of tomatoes. He
grows his regular farm crops in addi-
ton to his tomatoes. They are out Of
the way before canning season begins.
If you want to buy a factory, will send
you my booklet telling you of what l
have to offer with a great many testi-
monials from farmers, as strong as
above. l make Is sizes, from $S5 to $3.50
for the Farmer, Neighborhood and large
Community, Sell them on time pay
ments, or 10 or Is per cent. of pack,
OF for cash; any farmer can run factory
successfully. Show this to your neigh
bors. Yours truly,

as disclosed was all natural and hu-

of it was Mr.. Cross, with a bloody
nose, spelling for a fight and all the

whom to fight.
Who did that?" he demanded Of
the medium.

FIND MANY RELICS
Amherst Men Make Many Dis
c~overies in Patagonia.
Biological Expedition Now IN Its Way
Home With Many Scientific Treas
ures and After Finding a Col
ony of Prosperous Beers.

New York.-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton in the wilds of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London. bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and a fund Of interesting ex-
periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia on July 3 last, is in charge of
Prof. f. B. LOOMS of the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His iasso-
ciates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst,
1911; Layton Turner, Amherst, 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro
lessor Loomis by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more OF less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, Is skulls
and a large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens of the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate,
n~otostylopus and a large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party. Pro-
fessor LOOMS reports that many OF
the specimens are entirely new to
this country and suggest several new
scientific ideas.
Some of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in ONE instances at
levels a thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees, some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven In by Atlantic storms Of the
prehistoric ages. In n spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft Of these huge trees. Members
Of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, a1ligators and turtles,
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells of bivalves
similar to the oyster, but a foot or
more in diameter, were found in the
same locality.
The present expedition is the third
Of a series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896. of which
Professor Loomis was a member.

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of a num-
Der of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than So cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Is
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost of production and freight 6S
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
of 17h cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 1917 cents; and though this
is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level. A mat
ter of Importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost Of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:
Interest on 800 acres, value

per cent interest. ....... 81, 720. 90
