A TRUE LEADER.

Woodrow Wilson il II true leader.
While his reply to Mr.. Bryan's emer-
gency call was yet undisclosed his
friends expected it to be decisive and
right to the point; and they were not
disappointed of their hope, A good
writer, he told the story in the first sen
tence. To Mr.. Bryan, he said, " You
are right" and proceeded to show very
clearly why the Baltimore convention
should show in It's organization that it

history in this year of grace, and in
making that history right Mr. Wilson is

h common red ants do a great bit
Of damage to the alfalfa fields in some
sections of the country. The spots
where they kill the alfalfa are usually
only about a square yard or two
where they build their mounds. but a
great many of these in the field count
for quite a large patch where no al
falfa grows.
Some people try to destroy them by
sinking bottles into their mounds so
that the ants fall into them.
This system Is not always effective
as 1t Is hard to trap them all and as
long as a few remain the trouble will
continue.
There is nothing quite as effective
as the winter killing which consists
In digging out the heart of the
mounds in the winter and then pour
ing water into the excavation thus
made sc it soaks into the ground and
freezes those that may still be living.
This method usually proves very
satisfactory. Out Of a large field
where they We're killed in this way
during the last winter only a very few
Of the many ant hills had any ants
remaining in them by spring and it is
quite evident that If the work had
been done more carefully every one
Of them would have been killed.
The work should be done very
thoroughly. It does not take much
digging at each mound. but it should
be done In the winter time so there is
no chance for them to rebuild and
the weather is 81 cold that they must
freeze.

The box stalls in both the COW and

inmates can have a good view of the

The floors of the COW stable, the

the floor, with a four-inch drain at
the rear, leading to the manure pit.
The stalls are made to fit both long

long. The rear stall is three feet six
inches wide. and four feet eight inches
long. The stalls slope from the front
to the rear, each stall being slightly
shorter than the m next to n.
The floor of the horse stable may
be made Of cement or clay; but the

%LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM.
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, dry farming does not
indicate all that might be implied. It
does not mean a system of irrigation.
but n where all the rain fall and
precipitation Is stored up and con.
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
1T may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as we'll as in the American
West. there is a portion of the
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing Of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess In the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number OF inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing Of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of DRY farming" DRY
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton. is not alone the purpose Of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas Of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid. without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts Of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
k%atchewan, has taken a vital interest
In the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province Of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products. and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes: this year the Province Of AL
berta took prizes ten to n in excess

a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City Of Lethbridge,
which had put up a splendid fight for
1t. secured the Congress by a unani-
nous vote. It is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history Of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, one Of the speak
ers said he had just received a tele-
