Great interest was attached to a
public statement made by Senator

proposition to put wool and sugar on

port that he might join with Senators
Ransdell and Thornton Of Louisiana
and vote against the bill. In that case.

only six, the vote on the tariff bill
would be tie, necessitating the vote
Of Vice President Marshall to pass IT,
Should this develop there are some
Democrats who believe that Senator

Progressive In the senate, will vote
with them on the bill. This would
give leeway for another Democrat Il

RAT BECOMES REAL PIANOLA
Rodent is Tanned, Fed on Special
Diet, and Charged With EIec-
trio Battery.

Paris.-Paris has been given deli
cate jolt by the exhibition OF a rat
which carries around a pianola in its
internal organism. A touch of it's tail
produces airs from the operas.
NJ. Bertrand Lebaudy. the French
geological expert and savant, discov-
cred that the ribs Of the rat give out
rhythmic tones when properly tickled.
Making experiments, he found that
these tones could be regulated by
nerve pressure. The nerves of the
rat, like roads to Rome, all lead to
it's sensitive tail, which does many
duties besides acting as whiskbroom
in ratland.
He tanned a fine specimen of the reg
ular Partisan rodent, got it SO that it
would answer to his least command,
fed it on special diet and then
charged its nerves from an electric
battery. The rat became exceedingly
sensitive and the notes from its body
when tweaked by the tail, were quite
audible. BY degrees M. Lebaudy ac-
customed it to set repertoire of class
teal pieces.
Now when he pinches it's tail, it
starts an indicated tune and the music
keeps going until the piece is finished
Pianissimo and fortissimo are regu-
lated by pressure. "Ratiphon' is the
name of this new animal instrument.

CANADA WINS AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement Of
Canada's West is winning for the sec.
ond time the magnificent $1,000 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Colo.
RADIO for the best peck Of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, j. c. Hill &
| Sons OF Lloydminster Saskatchewan,
placed a peck Of oats grown on their
farm IL competition, with oats from
every part of the world. The judges
had no difficulty in deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912. the Corn Expo.
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca.
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition of the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c., and it Is
said of it that it was one of the best
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck OF oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, in 1919. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost IL reaching decision,
Fill 4 Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest Of the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs
During the past few years Western
Canada grains-wheat, oats, barley and
Hox -hny Eva
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t is not only in oats, but 1t
Is in wheat, In barley and in flax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
in the districts contiguous, where the
conditions Of climate, shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large in
profits. It was in the Province of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried off the Championship Of
the steer class, at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay of the Province
and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce of corn.
Western Canada presents innumer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
