Why COWS STOOD IN WATER
Artistic Limitations Responsible for
Characteristic Attitude of the
i Humble Bovine.

In a north Of England town there
was shiftless man who would never
accept gifts outright, although he was
always depending on charity. says Al
Priddy in his book, Through the
MILL" relates the Youths Companion.
He painted landscapes, and my aunt,
when benevolently inclined, would
hire him to decorate our walls with
rural scenes, highly colored in glaring
tints, as if nature had turned color
blind. There were cows in every
scene, and Aunt Mile noticed that all
the cows were up to their knees in
water. Not one stood on the vivid
green hills.
"Jorvey," she remarked to the old
man, why do you always put the cows
in the water?"
Its this way, Mrs. Brindin," the old
artist responded. You see, ma'am,
never learned to paint hoofs.''

being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally In
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become so well known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area Of splendid land is still so great
that it may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark
It may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions Of acres OF land, capable Of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
Of wheat to the acre; or, if in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or bar
ley, there is ample inducement to at

leave room still for the hundreds Of
thousands who will follow. There re-
mains not only the agricultural wealth

social advantages, the home-making
privileges, apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than a

Of a country that will soon rank

MEAT SHIFTS DOG FROM BOY
Mad Shepherds Attack Stayed Just
Long Enough to Rescue Lad
From Possible Death.

CoatesviIle, Pa.-The fact that he
was delivering meat for his father
saved James, twelve-year-old son of
William Snyder, from the fangs of
a mad shepherd dog, which had start
ed to attack the lad.
When the dog sprang at young
Snyder the boy with quick wit seized
an order from his express wagon and
tossed it to the raVing animal This
diverted the dogs attention to the
load of meat. but instead Of eating
any he merely went into canine
hysteria over it.
Albert F1ahardy, clerk in a Main
street store, saw the boys plight and
with q brick struck the dog in the
head, and Charles Dunleavy,) a con-
tractor, ended the animals fife with
a pick. Before attacking the boy the
dog ran amuck and bit a number Of
other dogs.

PIaeina Holes for Ruttons,

When buttoning or unbuttoning a
garment, forcing the buttons across
the width of the hole will soon tear
out the latter. For this reason but
tons with only two holes are better
than those with four and should be
placed so that their holes will be on
a line with the length of the button
hole. Some women place buttons with
four holes SO that only two holes need
be seWed through, thus making them
last longer than if all four were used.

4 LMOST overnight, some fashions
"a and fads become a furore, and
n it seems as if every woman,
from Maine to California, wants
one particular kind of hat, or shoe, or
feather at the same moment If the
object of this sudden fancy is within
easy reach Chat is, if it's price is low
its popularity is brief, because any
idea becomes tiresome from too much
repetition. But if the thing, which
finds itself suddenly in brisk demand,
can only be secured in limited quanti-
ties, its price is likely to soar for many
week or even months.
This is the case with the beautiful
paradise feather which women have
long admired. A spray of a few pre-
cious feathers, mounted in a pompon
Of ostrich or marabout, used to be
considered an achievement very well
worth while. Extravagantly inclined

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department of Mines
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posts of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials Of the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1914
billion tons; of anthracite 46I mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
of coal now annually mined In Canada
is about II million tons With an es-
timated quantity of unmixed good coal,
Of "A billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 1875 years. OF
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but it will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,00O,000 tons. At that rate it
would take only AS years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end Of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year land it looks now as if this
number would be reached this year, i,

have got ready for handling the crop
thousands of box cars The govern
ment agents and the railways are max
/ ing arrangements for from fifty to six
ty thousand extra farm hands in order
that the crop may be successfully and
quickly harvested, business men are
laying in larger stocks than usual, real
estate men are active, preparing for
the rush of business that is sure to
follow, and everywhere there is the
note of optimism, which seems to be
perfectly justifable.
There is, as has been said, q vast
area Of the country still open for set
Element and demonstrating lying in the
center north. Speaking of this part
writer, who made the trip when the
crop was In its green stage, said:
Just now, the whole country is a
beautiful sight, as it presents itself in
full dress of living green, varied in
shade, many places elegantly fringed
and interspersed with pleatings OF
shrubbery and patches of sweet scent
ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink,
scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav-
cling over the virgin soil, have seen
some Of the most charming rolling
prairies, sloping hills, deep raYines,
mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields,
and natural parks that one could wish
to behold, and all placed there without
the aid Of man. The land in general
is heavily matted with grass, mixed
with Vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions OF
acres Of which are going to waste
while beef, pork and mutton are soar
ing at prices heretofore unknown. The
comparatively small acreage under cul-
tivation reminds one of a few small
garden patches.
when we consider the estimated
crop Of 3O0,O00,OO0 bushels Of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these west
ern prairies from these garden patches,
some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
possibilities and rich heritage of a glo-
rious western Canada"
The estimate of the wheat crop, as
made by the writer quoted, is exces-
sive, but with even $50 million bushels,
there will be a great deal OF satisfac-
ton on the part of the settlers.
