TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow
Ing are two branches of agriculture
II which the farmers near the main
lines of the three transcontinental
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance of
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit Of wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiya-
ton has resulted in record yields of
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc-
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium. an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and homesteaded the first 100
acres in his township in 1902. which
was divided between grain and pas
tura. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at 81 an acre. The half section Melted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
which was devoted to mixed farming
last year. He values his land at $50
an acre
Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number of beef
cattle each year He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, %
head draft horses and So head OF pure
bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him so cents a bushel, as com
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage so bushels.

ment Agent, full particulars as to best

CHAPTER XVI.
The Forty-Ninth Hour.
MIN

Two days-two unforgetable days
we passed there in the hut, Davis and
| and our self-tortured prisoner. Each
day the constable came and went, the
first day to tell us that the inspectors
plan for disposing OF the postmaster's
body had been successful and that no
suspicion had been aroused. The sec
ond day pleasanter mission brought
him to deliver kilograms from Gran
dali and Louise that all was well,
that the general was slowly improv-
ing and that Katharine was recover
ing rapidly.
And all the while Young lay there
bound, defying us, now cursing, now
pleading, now in brilliant phrases
striving to convince Us by logical ar
gu1nents so def, so fOrcefuf, SO cum
ming that weaker and less wise man
than Davis might have been con
WINGED by them.
His logic failing he would turn to
merciless inYective and ribald threats
mis- penetrating voice making the
whole hut hideous as he prophesied
for us both grotesque horrible deaths,
brain-bre2king punishments i'll this
world and the next. Then, overcome
once more by the intensity of his I'M
satisfied desire for the drug that had
long been his master, he would moan
and plead and weep for morphine.
At times decisions would seize his
brain BY the hour he would rave of
beautiful cities and wonderfully fair
women and pleasant pastimes. Ma
jestic lines of poetry would flow from
his fevered lips, to end in a shrek Of
agony as his quivering, knotted mus
cles all but tore his nerves apart.
Again the weird morphine fantasies
would take hold of him and a rush Of
horrible. grotesque ribaldries would
foul the air.

II there is one big, distinguishing
trait of the United States regular, it
is individuality. IN every one of the

chess pieces under the guidance of a
master mind. In this country. where

natural that our soldiers should be
