very brown, but not burned, and fhen
we'll creamed, it is certainly most
delicious and nourishing drink, in
every way equal, if not superior, to
the far costlier cereal drinks bought
in the stores by so many who think
coffee harmful. When it came to the
graham bread and biscuit, never had
we tasted better, and this was >silse
from wheat grown and ground into
flour on the farm. A small hand
grinder was used, although our friend
was about to invest in graham mill''
that could be run by his small gaso-
line engine.
Now this -four was superior to the
best graham that can De bought, and
cost less than half smuch. 1t was
plain unbolted flour, for which we
have to pay extra nowadays. Usual
ly we pay extra for third grade, or
worse, flour mixed with finely
ground bran. We have come across
two or three small country or village
mills that made straight unbolted
whole wheat flour, from clean, selected
wheat, but most of the so-called gra-
ham, or whole wheat flour, is not
made that way. We pay extra for it,
however, when in all justice we should
pay less, as it costs much less. By
making it ourselves, however, as our
friend does, we can not only have
1t at half cost, but we can get a far
better quality than can generally be
| bought.
There was but one thing lacking on
this eXcellently provided table. and
that was homegrown honey, and the
surroundings were SO favorable for
bees, and we talked to them so earn
estly that hereafter we believe de-
! licious homegrown honey will be
| found along with the other excellent
home grown and made products on
this bountiful table.
This farmer is on the right track
He and his whole family were pleased
! if not proud, of their success along
these Independent lines. How we
wish more could be induced to be
come equally independent, at least till
they are out of debt.

Flax in Large Fields,

Dakota Farmer: The farther north
one gets, the better flax and bronze
grass seem to do. Never have we
seen such bronze grass as at Regina,
Canada, and north of there. Nor have
we ever seen such rank-groWing,
heavy-yielding flax as in northern
Montana and tributary territory in
Canada. Nor is it all climate We
can learn much, and it will pay us to
do it, from the great Canadian flax
growers themselves.
When, a year ago, Fred Engen, of
Saskatoon, reported $4,000 bushels
OF tiaX-29 bushels per acre-from g.
900 acres, which netted him about
Sl56,0O0, we thought the limit in
heavy flax yields on large acreage had
been reached, but now Mr.. Engen re-
ports for this year 179,200 bushels of
f1aX-35 bushels per acre-from about
eight sections of land. In addition to
his flax, Mr.. Engen has about eleven
sections into oats, wheat and barley,
and says he shall increase the hogs
on his farm to 1900 another spring.
AS flax producer, however, Mr..
Engen especially shines, and his
strictly scientific methods of cultiva.
ton, selection and treating of seed,
preparation of soil, ETC., are certainly
bringing great results if the figures
given out can be relied upon. The
big farm referred to is in the vicinity
of Rosetown, Sask.

1OF INTEREST TO
FARMERS

Today in the meat shops of the
country, mutton is selling for not
much more than half what beef and
bacon are bringing. And still it is
fully as palatable as either, and all
medical men will tell us that mutton
is much more wholesome than pork
in any form, and fully or more SO than
beef.
Why then is so much beef and
bacon carried home by the poor, and
by those of moderate means and 9TH
erwise economical habits?
We believe it is simply this: In
the first place, these two high-prlced
meats are found everywhere there is
a meat shop of any kind, and good
mutton is generally found only in large
first-class meat markets. Heretofore
these two meats have been fairly rea-
sonable in price also, and the habit
of eating only pork and beef has be-
come an almost national one. Over
in Canada, England and Scotland this
is not so, at least to at all the extent
it is here in the United States. Nut
ton is bought and highly relished by
rich and poor alike, and the health
of both are better for it.
Already we detect better demand
in our country tor mutton roasts and
chops, brought about, no doubt, by
the almost prohibitive prices of beef
and bacon. We believe this is go
ing to increase until mutton prices
rise to a juster level with the price
of beef M. F. Greeley.
Cozy in the Cold.
I'm just chilled through and
through said a woman from the
country as she lowered over the big
stove in the store, after ten-mile
ride from her farm home. "Yes," add
ed another, equally chilled, "and 1t
just makes me shiver to think OF
sleeping in cold bed after | do get
home tonight. The chill Of these
long winter rides hangs to me for
days after taking one of them. I'm
getting old, I guess"
This was great temptation for the
writer to sail in and say something
and although it was across the line in

Canada, he did, and the half-frOZen
women seemed grateful for what was
said.
There is no excuse whatever for
old, feeble, very tired or sickly peo-
pie, or very young children, getting
into icy beds during winter in parts
of the house where fire never comes.
1t is depressing and debilitating to
the old, the tired or the sickly taxing
vitality already too weak, and fre-
quently the cause of pneumonia or
other low vitality diseases.
Of course. a hot water bottle, a
brick or fiat iron, well wrapped up,
and taken into an icy bed, will do
much towards keeping the weakly
warm till their own meagre heat
warns the icy surroundings. Some
do not have hot water bottles, al
though all should in case of sickness;
and some object to hot bricks and
fiat irons from fear Of fire, although
hot brick never set anything afire.
But all can have plain jug of sand,
and this, when heated in the oven or
otherwise, is the SAFEST and best bed
warmer ever invented. The poorest
can have them, for the water jugs of
the harvest field can be the bed warm
ers of winter, and somewhere on the
road to town, if not on the farm or
in the cellar, sand can be found to
fill them with. Water, of course, will
do, but a leak in the cork is rather
more embarrassing with hot water
than with sand.
When it comes to the long winter
| ride, this too can be made far different
from what it too often is, and what
--4ese two brave far-north women
found it,
We used to keep a piece of thick
plank, which laid across the stove a
| half hour before starting, and which
would keep the feet and ankles warm
during ten or fifteen mile ride in
the coolest weather. But a lantern
turned up only moderately, we have
found the best thing yet Wrapped
in thick paper, or better still in as
bestos, there is no danger from fire
and the warmth coming up under the
robes keeps the whole lower part OF
the body warm, and the hands, if cold
can be quickly warmed by slipping
them under, too.
When the feet, limbs, hands and
half the body are warm there is lit
tie trouble keeping comfortable al
over. The writer has taken thirty
mile rides with lantern so placed
and been perfectly comfortable, while
others going third that distance
with only wraps nearly perished
Much of the chill and suffering o
cold rides and cold beds could be
largely done away with if a little more

Green Food in Winter,

Provide some sort Of green food for
the hens during the winter. They
will appreciate it by laying more eggs,
If other conditions are as they should
be. Green alfalfa is fine if you have
it. If you have none, decide you will
in the future. Feed it any way you
will; right from the pitchfork; cut
up in short lengths, moistened or dry
oror ground into meal. It's all good
and it's just matter of supply of
alfalfa hay. Mangels sliced in two
lengthwise and tackled to the side wall
are good. Cabbages, kale and potatoes
are also good. Sprouted green oats
are excellent, but require some little
work to prepare. But when you rea.
lize that some green food should be
supplied in winter, you will find some
thing to fill the bill on the farm.

Independence on the Prairies.

Not long ago we took dinner at a
Montana farm nome where the own
er boasted that all on the table but
the salt and other seasoning, was
grown on the farm. The potatoes and
bacon were home grown, so were the
milk and eggs in the custard, the beet
pickles, the berries for the sauce, the
butter, cream and cheese, and last
but by no means least, the most ex-
cellent graham bread and delicious
coffee. These last two were es-
peclally good, and SO we inquired par
ticularly about their manufacture on
the farm. The coffee was the same
as recommended by T. B. Terry in his

tablespoons of good molasses to the
quart had been added just before the
roasting was completed. If wheat is
