The growing of fax is extensively car

sued by a prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with tho
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 O.
yield Of twenty-nine bushels, per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50

ration of seed and cultivation of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the CASE of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres of summer fallow a year ago
last summer, upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such q
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
in the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the

Juma, and also to realize the mortality OF
empires, for one can clearly see, as IN home'
cities built upon the ruins of Cities ana IN ao-
dition the relics of many Hindu capital OF
bygone ages.
The Delhi Of today is Of course the mighty
city Of Shah Jehan with its seven gates and as
many arches. The Delhi of the future WILL be
built on the site of the recent Durbar camp.
This Is situated some miles from the site OF the
old Mogul capital, as the famous mutiny ridge
camp separated the latter from the former
camp It will have the advantage OF being
built on fresh ground, a by no means trihins
detail in India, where sanitation is Of para
mount Importance.
From the point of view of climate, ALSO
there is no doubt that Delhi possesses great ad-
vantages over Calcutta. To the newcomer In
India Calcutta is described as having one hot
month and eleven-hot months whereas tho
cold weather of Delhi Is delightful
Another important feature Of the proposed
change is that the position of Delhi will re-
move the headquarters Of the government from
the environment Of what is known in India
as the Bengali element. This type of super
educated Indian native has undoubtedly been
responsible in no small measure for the agita-
ton caused by the partition Of Bengal. This
innovation was initiated by Lord Curzon and
though the agitation against it was never really
popular or in any sense national, yet this noisy
Bengalt element succeeded in raising a clamor
quite out Of all proportion to their actual num-
bers, aided as they were by the vernacular
press. The further partition of Bengal. re-
Gently announced, may have the advantage Of
further decentralization of the unwieldy ma
chine Of teeming millions already divided by
Curzon's action
Another great advantage in the change Of
the capital Is the fact that Delhi is undoubted-
ly much more in the center Of the fighting
races than Calcutta. The great native princes
much more easily can assemble there. The
Shikh and the Rajput princes are nearby
the Maharajah of Kashmir, the Gaekwar Of
Baroda, the important Nizam Of Hyderabad,
and the head of that well governed state Of
Mysore, are mostly at no great distance away.
and these all undoubtedly will welcome the
change of capital.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA

while attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, In 1882, became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
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 un-
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another. lack 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 tho time. so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time OF boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply

words that the only solution OF the Indian ST.
uat1on lies in the practical autonomy OF the
provincial governments. In other words, the
old bureaucratic regime, which began with the
first victories of Give and the taking over OF
the Bengal diwani by Warren Hastings Is
confessed at least to be failure. Decentraliz-
alton is to be the watchword from this time
onward. A new India is gradually to be form
er, on the model on Canada. 1t will consist of
a group of confederated states, financially in
dependent and legislating for themselves in To-
cal matters, but subject to the control OF the
central government in imperial affairs. In

The general effect Of the kings visit seems

expectations. The wonderful spectacle of
the Durbar made a profound impression, and
when the king and queen later stood on the
wall of the fort in Delhi and received the
homage of an adoring crowd Of more than
100000 natives, 1t is said that the scene was
indescribable. Gray-bearded men bowed them
selves to the ground and others wept for Joy
and mothers held up their babies above their
heads to see and be blessed by the emperor.
An incident that happened at the laying Of the
first stones Of the new capital gained the king
a great reputation among the people, AS he
was about to touch one Of the stones with his
golden trowel he noticed that it was not quite
straight, and asked the master mason to bring
it into better alignment. The ceremony was
stopped for few minutes while this was
done. The story spread like wildf1re through
the bazars, and was accepted as an omen by
the natives, who now firmly credit their en-
peror with almost supernatural powers Of dis
cernment and determination to establish the
foundations of his city so surely that it will
last through all the ages to come.

Of the king, although the murder Of a police
inspector in Eastern Bengal the night before
the Durbar gave eloquent testimony to the fact
that disloyalty still exists in some sections of
the population. The release or remission of
sentence of over 100 political prisoners was

districts of Eastern Bengal. The government
denies this.
The announcement of the great changes has
had at least one effect that Is already arpar-
ent; 1t has immensely impressed Hindus and
Mohammedans alike with the power OF the
emperor Although King George stated st the
Durbar that he was acting on the advice of his
ministers, this seems to have been ignored by
the mass OF hio subjects, who felt that here
was a ruler indeed, whose lightest whim was
law. and who could change at word the
foundations of government and the established
order OF generations. I suppose that few off,
cial announcements have ever been more dra-
matte. Perhaps dozen men out of midas
300,0O0,000 were in the secret. and to the rest
the declaration came with the surprising force
of revelation.
It is precisely for this reason that anxiety il
felt over the ultimate reception Of the propos-
ais by the Indian people. When the awe
caused by the visible presence Of the sovereign
has passed away, it is feared that fierce opposi-
ton may break out In many quarters. The
original partition of Bengal was thought at the
time to be an innocent measure, but it stirred
up disloyalty in half of India, turned two
provinces into hotbeds of sedtion and pro-
voked series OF anarchistic crimes which has
not yet come to end. The present changes
claim to be purely administrative, but the pe-
culiarly secret and arbitrary way in which
they were determined may prove an excuse for
new discomfort. More than one English official
who was at the Durbar expressed the opinion
that the next year or two would see another
wave of anarchy and sedition incomparably
greater than anything India has yet known.
The government does not hold this view. It re-
mains to be seen who is right.
Two important facts, in any case have been
made clear by the publication Of the dis
patches. The first is that India Is at last be-
ing governed once more from India and not
from London, as was the case when Lord Mimic
was viceroy and Lord Morley secretary of state
The entire scheme for the change Of capital
and redistribution Of provinces originated at
Simla, and was embodied in a dispatch from
the central government to Lord Crewe, who
accepted the proposal without change. It
would be interesting to know whether Lord
Hardinge his council are principally re-
sponsible for the undertaking. If the for
mer proves to be the case, current views Of
the new viceroy will have to be revised It
argues more than little courage and initia-
tive in man who has been in India barely a
year to risk his official reputation on such a
hazardous measure
The other fact disclosed by the dispaiches
is an important intimation of England's policy
regarding the future government of India. Lord
Hardinge and his associates state in so many

Personal Economy.

My first and greatest economy is in
buying street suits. I never have a
suit that is extreme in style, but al
ways get as nearly as possible the
regulation tailored suit. Such a suit
when made of really good and incon-
Bpicuous material can be worn three
or four seasons without being re-
markable. In Orde- that my suit may
be exactly what 1 want I buy my own
material and lining and tell my tailor
Just how it is to be made.
Another precaution which take is,
when buying my material, to get a
yard and half more than will be
used in making the suit, SO that in
case the skirt gets torn or needs to
be altered or remodeIed there will be
plenty of material FOR new breadths.
BY making the tailored skirt myself
I can save about half the expense of
making the suit-fIarper's~ Bazaar II.
