Be Kind to the Animals.

This is the time of the year when
domestic animals need most consider
ate treatment from human beings.
The hot weather takes the life out of
many horse that could go on work
ing comfortably for years in a mod
crate temperature. To the dogs ex-
treme heat is as exhausting as it is to
their masters. The cats are not so
much affected by the heat, but this is
the time of year when the majority
of cat owners seem to feel free to
go out of town and leave their house
hold pets to the tender mercies OF
their neighbors. So every city church

business; and their attention has been
taken up with matters entirely differ
ent, and they are not qualified to ar
range the many details that properly
go with a well-arranged home. They
may know what they want in a gen.
eral way; but when it comes to fitting
a house to lot in a community in
which they would like to live, a little
assistance from a man who under
stands such things is a great help, and
will be appreciated in after years.
Many mistakes have been made by
putting unsuitable houses in certain
communities; and a great many more
mistakes have been made in neglect
ing to fit the house to the lot, or in
not buying lot to fit the house that
the man wants to build.
One of the commonest mistakes in
building is to place the house the
wrong way. There are house plans
that are perfectly satisfactory when
fronted south, which would badly fit
a northern outlook. The direction in
which a house fronts means a good
deal to some people, which others care
very little about it. North, south, east
and west-all have advantages, and
they all have disadvantages. 1t very
much depends on the likes and dis
likes of the inmates, but great deal
also depends on the plan of the house.

at the hotel and soon after he left a
delegation of college boys from near.

head waiter, who happened to be CON-

cheers, was compelled to make

He gave the college boys much kind

intimated that some day they might

THE CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA
Optimism Throughout the Prov
lnCeS Of Manitoba, Sas-
katCheWan and Alberta.

During the present summer a num-
ber of important delegations have Wis
tied the Canadian West for the pur-
pose of securing information as to
the crop conditions and the conditions
OF business generally. For some
months the financial stress was felt
throughout the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Co
lumbia as well as in other portions Of
the country. With development TAX

was $1,O24.71 in 1910, as against
$51803 in 1900, being an increase OF
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops Of 1918, It
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
l15,000,0OO bushels, with an average
yield Of over 20 bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but fair crop. will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax,
Of which the average is considerably
less than last year. will produce a
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date Of August 18th, a report
comes from Regina which says:
Unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.

bile trip to the north and west of the

expected that when the money bags
were tightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year. Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop Of 1913 will restore
conditions to normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was a large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as q general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had q stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads
were large and the prospects were of
