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

The term, "dry farming" does not
indicate al that might be implied It
does not mean a system OF irrigation.
but one 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 well as in the American
West, there is a portion Of the coun-
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
dryfarming 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 ali parts of the world The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, 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 one in excess
Of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out of twenty Special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying OF
one sweepstakes. When it came to
a matter Of location for the Congress
for 1912, the. City of Lethbridge.
which had put up a splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by a Unani-
nous vote. It is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the Iarg-
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-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed 1900 bush
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton. tells of hundreds of splendid
yields in all parts of Western Canada

Kelly entered his office briskly,
hung up his coat and prepared to
glance through the mail. Because
Kelly was big and good to look at
and in many other ways an attractive
lure for feminine hearts, there were
a number Of small, scented missives
ments and business letters
These he put aside until the con-
tents of the more important cOmmu-
nications had been digested.
Kelly drew a cigar from his pocket.
The day promised to be more or less
dull. A young lawyer can only wait
for clients. Kelly lit his cigar and
when it was drawing we'll he elevated
his feet to the desk and picked up the
smaller envelopes.
As he glanced over his own name
written in various feminine hands he
smiled tenderIy, cynicalIy, reminis-
Gently and finally quest1oningIy. The
writing on one neat, unscented en-
velOpe was not familiar to keIly's
eyes.
He opened it first, and read the
contents:
Dear Mr.. KeIly-Your f1ancee, Hell
en- Ware, has made me promise to
look you up as soon as 1 reached New
York. 1 arrived only yesterday from
Omaha and have taken the first op-
portunity l had for communicating
with you. Since 1 am to be HeIen's
bridesmaid it might make the we'd
ding more sOciable if some of US had
met you. l am to be in New York
for three weeks and hope you will
find time to call me up in the near
future, SO that 1 may write Helen that
l have had the pleasure of meeting
her future husband. Phone, OO9 River
Sincerely yours,
VIRGINIA TRACY"
A cynical smile was master over
surprise in Kelly's face.
Another bunco camel" he NUT
tered. Letter sounds jolly though
guess I will see the game through"
Without a doubt in his mind as to
the class of girl who had written him
the letter, Kelly called the number,
0O9 River.
When he hung up the receiver he
had made an engagement to call for
Virginia Tracy at six o'clock that
same evening. He turned to his other
neglected feminine correspondents,
but try as he might to forget the in

no animals that have greater need
for water than hogs 1t is needed not
only for quenching the thirst, but for
the better digestion and assimilation
Of the food eaten by the hog. 1t is
the cheapest essential ingredient that
goes into a hog and is necessary for
any profit that is to be made Keep
pure water and plenty of il in free
access to your hogs. One of the most
frequent causes Of cholera is from
neglect of farmer and breeder to pro-
vide pure water, thus compelling the
hog, in his thirsty, famished condi-
ton, to drink any water he can find,
which usually is from mudholes and
green-vermin-cov little pools. reek-
ing with disease germs that soon do
great damage. The hog has a nat
ural desire for cleanliness He has
been considered a scavenger. but this
has been from compulsion Water is
a producer and retainer of the hogs
health. Look into this water ques-
ton. Provide good, clean, pure water
and your hogs will be better able to
fight cholera attacks.
Good shelter is a necessary thing
for hogs. Sleeping in and on old
filth-laden straw and under d poorly
constructed roof of four or five boards
is not beneficial. The hog must have
a home. The Lighthouses should be
large and we'll ventilated and warm.
Overcrowding during cold weather,
especially where different sized ami
mails are kept in same pen, is a con-
dition very favorable for cholera. The

q SICK pig is a losing PROPOSE

OF cure" is certainly applicable in
regard to taking measures to prevent

h1ne as one of the necessary, impera-
tive requirements of every feeder and
breeder of hogs.
Hog-cholera is one of the ever
present diseases to which these ami
mails are exceedingly susceptible, even
though a farmer does feed and pro-
vide for his stock very carefully and
many herds have died, though handed
well. But there is no doubt that the
exercise OF proper knowledge and jul
dicious care can greatly lessen the
liability. This proper care includes
feeding of clean grain and grasses;
providing pure and uncontaminated
water; building warm, airy hog
houses and keeping such houses, and
the outdoor pens free from refuse;
and handling, prudentiy, the breeding
animals.
Many Of the small things, in the
hog-man's work, are those which, if
not avoided. lead to serious conse-
quences. The first signs of constipa-
ton or diarrhoea in a hog, should be
warning to the farmer to quickly, but
moderately, change the hogs diet and
follow the change by a correcting
laxative, as EPSON salts or small
amount of linseed oil. Feed the ami

PREPARING FISH WITH SAUCES.

 In choosing fish, see that the eyes are bright and the flesh firm.
 To bone fish, which is not difficult process, cut down to the back bone and with dull knife press the flesh away from the bone first on one side then on the other. There Is no more waste in boning fish than when left to be boned at the table. BroIied Flsh.--Clean and bone the fish and cut it through from the in- side so that it will lay fiat. Grease the bars of wire breiler with salt pork Lay ln the fish and broil over coals or nnder gas flame. BrDil tlss flesh side first. 10 keep in the juices Turn and cook the skin side.
