The Farmers Commercial Club of
Bowesmont held its regular meeting last
Wednesday evening. The speaker of
the evening was l. j. Foster of Bathgate
who talked for over an hour on diversi-
fed farming and the different ways of
making farm life an enjoyment rather
than a drudgery. His plans for keeping
the children ON the farm were heartily
applauded and that is one subject on
which Mr.. Foster is we'll qualified to
speak for he has thirteen children and
all of them are on the farm. Mr.. Foster
is a very entertaining talker and it is
we'll worth an hour of any persons time
to listen to him.
Several years ago over in Minnesota,
on one of the big farms of Kittson county
big harrow about sixty feet wide was
left at the far end of long field. Later
after the wheat was up about six inches,
as the owner was going to town, he no.
ticed the harrow there and called to one
of the hired men to take the harrow to
the machine shed. When the boss came
back from town he found that the hired
man had obeyed orders, which was made
certain by tie fact that a sixty foot
black streak stretched clear across the
otherwise green field. The boss called
up the man and after a few words to the
effect that he didn't want any such -
fool around him, paid him off. In the
fall that black streak made about ten
bushels to tue acre more than the rest
of the field and the boss would have
been glad to have hired that same -
fool for another year If he could have
found him, and thrown in an apology
besides.
Thomas Scambler, who was formerly
foreman of the toilette section on the N.
P. and who left here last fall for Hum
bolt, Sask., returned with his household
goods on Monday and will again taks
charge of the toilette section. Mr..
Scambler says while he had good posi-
ton on the railroad there, with better
wages, yet he found the climate consid.
erably more rigorous and the greater
cost Of living made conditions not as
good as they are here. His family will
join him in few days. toilette citizens
will be glad to have Mr.. Scambler and
family back again as they were popular
people there. Mr.. Scambler says that
Mr.. ]. G. Wrixon, formerly of toilette,
has fine position ON the railway and is
doing well. He also says that many of
the new settlers IN the Canadian north
west are having pretty hard times this
year, owing to the fact that they have
only frozen wheat to sell and have great
difficulty in finding any market for it at
all. In many towns great unroofed bins
of this frozen wheat are still exposed to
the weather, waiting shipment.
