BoATMAN HAD HIS OWN IDEA
Absence of Expected "Tip" Brought
Out Excellent Sample of Real
Irish Wit.

A good story of Irish repartee has
been published concerning John
Bright. He was always ready for sal
mon fishing, and on several occasions
went to Ireland with Mr.. George Pea
body, the American philanthropist.
One day Mr.. Bright, noticing po-
liceman on the bank, inquired of him
what sum the boatman were entitled
to ask for rowing up the Shannon on
days fishing He said that from
seven shillings and sixpence to ten
shillings was the usual payment.
Mr.. Bright said to Mr.. Peabody,
Have you three half-crowns? have
no change"
Mr.. Peabody produced the money
and gave it to the boatman. He was
dissatisfied, and said:
And is that all ye're giving me?'
That is ALL" replied Mr.. Peabody.
well, that bates all l liver heard,
answered the boatman. An they
call We Paybody Faith, l should call
We Pay-nobody!"

FLAX GROWING
IS PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE.
COMING RICH IN ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
of growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces Of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Canada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion of the continent. Twenty, thir-
ty, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts of the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention,
but what of oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with its big yields,
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and big one is flax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed fax, the seeding
and harvesting, and attributes yields
of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had a
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking Of proper prepa-
ration of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case OF
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year age
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, wher
many in the district harvested fol
want of crop. Now there can be nj
proper reason advanced why such
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided the!
had been worked and cared for in th'
same manner. This year 191D thu
same man had one hundred acres o
} summer fallow, had something owe
} $500 bushels of wheat. He also hat
, 1900 bushels of oats and 300 bushel

Entrance.

Here is a good plan for self-clUs'
ing gate, writes E. J. Wehrlin, in the
Orange Judd Farmer. The upright
piece at the hinge end of the gate is
made higher than the post it swings
on. A crossbar is driven tightly
through hole, at right angles with
the gate. Make the crossbar feet
long or over and run wires from the
ends of the crossbar to point 2 feet
from the crossbar and continue by a
single wire for 1 foot.
A spiral spring from a mower
binder is here attached and a wire
is connected with this spring and run
to the second post of the fence. This

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affection assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infiamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch SO as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and In fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal.
During all this time Of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best phy-
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In very short time / began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until / was
well again, and have not had a re
currence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. l have recon-
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith II
them as remedies for skin diseases.

IN MEMORIAM
Two Little Angels

On August the 5th little Zachie, the
two-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
III. Balentine was taken to Heaven.
On August the 18th, little ANA,
the rosebud only a few months old,
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Redden, passed
to Heaven.
Both are now happy little angels,
rejoicing in their new home. They
were sufferers here but are ever free
now. Their little lives and affections
had so enter-woven themselves with
fathers and mothers, till hearts were
broken when they were taken. But
they are angels that will ever beckon
father and mother to come up and
live with them in their happy home.
Both were grandsons of Mr.. and
Mrs G. w. Davis, who loved them as
their own. Their little bodies were
laid to rest at Poplar Springs.

Jokes was not infrequent on the
trip.
