Mr.. Wolfe has made his property
largely through handling real estate
in the city. While he frequently
doubled his money he learned since
that he could have made thousands of
dollars where he made hundreds if he
had held on a year or more longer.
He assures us that the Canadian
northwest has the greatest opportuni-
ties for young men without capital,
of any place known.
The climate has proved very pleas
ant to him. He asserts that while the
temperature sometimes drops to 40
degrees below zero one Dies not feel
it as much as 10 below in Michigan.
Large churches and other public
buildings are being rapidly built and
new $4,000 school house was put
up in south Swift Water this season.
The city believes in municipal own
ership, having their own electric light
plant, water works, sewer system and
hospital.
Board may be obtained in the city
for six to seven dollars per week and
room rent for ten to twelve dollars
per month.
Mr.. Wolfe and family are enjoying
a six weeks visit among old friends,
and are usually the centre of an in
teresred group of listeners when
about town.

FROM The NORTHWEST
Ed. Wolf and Family Return to Visit
Alma Friends.

In August 1909 Ed Wolfe, Of this
city went to the Canadian northwest
with two companions, Will Risch and
Charles Clark.
He returned to Alma December 20
and is glad to tell the story of his
participation in the building up and
development OF the town Of Swift
Current.
Mr.. Wolfe now owns a quarter sec
ton of land three and a half miles
from Waldeck on which he has 100
acres prepared for sowing wheat next
March. He also owns and rents six
houses in Swift Current.
Rental values are somewhat higher
there than in Alma; three room one
story house renting for $4,000 per
month. and good ten room house
will bring from 500 to $75 per month.
As indications of the growth of the
town, Mr.. Wolfe tells us that the
population of the town in 1906 was
200, i'll 1907 $50, 1908 700, 1909 1000,
1910 800. 1911 $500, 1912, 5000. The
people are cosmopolitan. Every ma
tionality is represented but the Yam
KEGS and Canadians are in the leading
factions.
Swift Current river or creek is a
mountain stream fed by springs and
is the chief source of pure water for
the town and surrounding country.
The mounted police of the Canadian
government constantly patrol both
banks OF the stream to sec that no
garbage or refuse of any kind is
dumped into it,
Swift Current city is division
point on the Canadian Pacific railway
and three other railroads are now
surveyed to cross in the town. There
are already thirty miles of tracks in

of grain, in 1909 100000. in 1910,

STATE PROSECUTORS
Met in Lansing; Discuss liquor Sales
and Wife Desertion.

The Michigan Prosecution associa-
ton held meeting in Representatives
hall at Lansing last Friday afternoon
and Endorsed much new legislation
recommended by the legislative COM
mittee, which consisted of Charles H.
Hayden, Lansing; A. W. Black, East
Tawas, and c. c. Goggin Of Alma.
The prosecutors recommended that
the law be changed to make it neces-
sary for druggists to require pres
criptions for the sale of liquor in
counties not affected by the local op-
ton laws, as we'll as in local option
counties. Figures gathered showed
that druggists in the so-called wet
counties abused their discretion in
many instances and many of them
had saloons without paying licenses.
Another change asked was in re-
lation to wife deserters At present
wife beater is a disorderly person
and the charge against him is heard
by a justice The association asks
that the action be made felony and
thus brought under the circuit court.
AT present the justice can only put
the offender under bonds for three
months, which affords children but
little protection. The circuit judges
would be able to make the bonds
longer.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, Earl Kitchener, Adrian;
vice-president c. H. Hayden Lam

GEO. SHARRAR HONE
Travelled Through Eight States and
Visited New Orleans

Mr.. George Sharrar OF the firm OF
Sharrar x Moore returned Christina,
night from a trip down the AIississip-
pi valley and across eight states to
the Gulf. He reports general farm
conditions north Of the Kentucky line
as in snug shape for winter while
south of that state the soil was being
made ready for the springs crops
Especially was this true Of Louisiana
where all kinds OF general farming
are now being taken up besides the
cotton and sugar raising for which
they have always been noted.
He spent much of his time looking
over the agricultural possibilities OF
these states with reference to their
advantages to men OF small means,
and is assured that they offer excep-
tional opportunities for such men.
These southern states have no farm
help problem to solve. Help is plent
iful and may be had whenever needed
and at a reasonable price.
Mr. Sharrar visited New Orleans
and freely expresses himself as TO its
present greatness and its still greater
prosperity. He visited Biloxi and
Gulfport, Mississippi, as the chief
centers of the lumber industry which
he says is now at its height in that
region. He also made trip up
through the Red River valley, most
fertile portion of the state and has
determined that he will again visit
this section in the near future for the
purpose of investment.

seen recently was q card about one
inch wide and three inches long. At
the top WAS a picture Of pretty girl
whose hat, when tilted back. showed
the guests name beneath. Another
card showed small messenger boy
carrying small grip. When the grip
was lifted the name was found be-
meath. A lady with little fan would
be another clever idea, or pansies
with attached leaves would be neat.
For a stag dinner the cards could be
made with each one to represent the
guests occupation. Cards for the bank,

be made very quaint II the artist Is hu'

Many city family man. when he
comes to pay from s. to 81 for his
Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey,
will be quite ready to affirm that per-
sonally he has no objection to the
passing OF the turkey forever, even as
holiday piece de resistance.
Last year In the largest cities first.
class birds brought from 25 to 80
cents per pound, and a So bill was
hardly adequate to secure a bird that
would sufficiently serve an ordinary
sized family.
The fact Is that fewer turkeys are
being raised every year. the decline in
the Industry having started six or
seven years ago, when the terrible
disease OF blackhead began to destroy
the fiocks in the New England states.
The ravages OF this disease have be-
come so great that in Rhode Island.
which was once the great turkey state,
very few are now being raised. The
disease has spread to other states
throughout the east. and its ravaging
effects have been so disastrous that
thousands OF farmers in Massachu.
sets. New Jersey and New Hampshire,
all formerly good turkey states, have
practically given up the business.
This disease has invaded the west
to some extent. but its ravages have
been checked because the means OF
preventing 1t are now much better
understood than ever before, owing to
the Industrious and intelligent in.
vestigations started several years ago
by the Rhode Island experiment sta.
tion and supplemented by the work
OF the U. S. department OF agricul.
ture.
Blackhcad is a disease OF the liver
and intestines which produces form
OF dysentery and is caused by minute
parasites. and called blackhead be-
cause the heads OF the affected, birds
turn black at certain stage OF the
disease.
In many cases birds die from
complications induced by the presence
Of the disease rather than from its
immediate effects.
Blackhead destroys about four.fifths
OF the young turkeys before they are
six weeks old. and OF the remaining
one-fifth, according to Prof. Cooper
Curtiss OF the Rhode Island station.
one-tenth to o,efifth die at a later
date.
While there has not been great
progress made in the control of this
disease the limits Of ignorance have
been clearly defined. and 1t is believed
that the scientists will. in very short
time. discover effective remedies.
The advice given by experts in the
disease Is to quit breeding turkeys

wherever 1t appears, and this is re-
sponsible in a very large degree for
the rapid curtailment OF the industry
In the eastern states.
The hope OF the turkey.raislng In
dustry appears at present to lie In
the west, and those portions Of the
south which have so far escaped this
dreaded disease. Breeders have now
learned, at least In preliminary way.
how to prevent the disease, and in the
west. where 1t has not prevailed to
any considerable extent, farmers have
taken up turkey breeding. encouraged
by the tremendously high prices that
have prevailed during the past few
years and by the hope that they will
be able to escape the losses suffered
by the eastern breeders who did not
know how to cope with the disease.
AS farmers receive about 65 per
cent. Of the retail price Of turkeys.
there is good profit in the business,
provided the birds escape disease.
Turkey.raising is no more difficult
than the raising Of any other kind OF
poultry. 1t requires just as much,
but no more trouble than should be
devoted to the raising OF guinea
fowls. well-bred chickens, or squads.
In fact. where extensive range can be
secured, the rearing Of turkeys is less
trouble than that Of chickens.
Turkeys are great rangers, but as
they quickly become attached to their
attendant. 1t is not difficult to control
them. They should be fed and cared
for by the same person from the time
they are hatched until they are ready
i for the market. In this way they will
learn to come at the call OF the at.
tendant, and follow him for long dis.
tances. from the fields to the coops.
II young turkeys are carefully
handled by the same person they can
be easily driven from one place to
another, and when storms come on
they can be quickly housed. In for.
eign countries turkeys are driven to
market in focks. and we once saw a
flock OF nearly 300 birds being driven
along the highway to the railroad
station three miles from the farm.
where they we're to be cooped and
shipped to the city market
Texas is, perhaps. today the great.
est turkey state in the Union. Breed.
ers OF this state have taken first
premiums at many Of the national
shows during the past few years. and
the industry has thriyed wonderfully
In the mild climate OF the state.
Turkeys in the southern states.
where range Is ample and the winters
are mild grow to an exceptionally
large size, twenty-five to thirty-five
pounds being common weight for
the prize birds.
