grain field Of the world, and will be
so for all time. Looking into the flu

contemplating joining the band Of
Western Canada grain growers and
they are wise in doing SO, for they can
secure the best of land in good locali-

tons referred to had ample rainfall
and blessed with conditions that put
them into more enviable condition
than the districts first referred to.
Fortunately in most places where lack
of precipitation prevented harvesting
a good crop this year, this is the
first Of number of years that it
has happened, and the farmers are
in position to Withstand a partial
failure. Throughout all of Manitoba,
Central Saskatchewan and the largest
portion Of Alberta conditions are
good. The raising of cattle, sheep and
hogs is now playing an important
part in the success of the West
ern Canada Farmer. From these,
and the product of the dairy and
the Dreaming, he is placing himself
In an excellent financial position. 1t
Is expected that during 1915 the acre
age sown to grains of all kinds will be
largely in excess of all previous years.
In the districts that had not the crop
that others had, there is no disheart-
edness, but embracing the opportunity
to get their land ready in good time,
and pursuing more definite methods

The natural resources of the coun-
try are so vast that they cannot be

tell Of what tiny portions have done.
He can only say Il am more prosper

yet If a farmer expects to succeed on
land that he has been forced to pay
500 to $500 an acre for, he ought to
feel assured Of attaining prosperity
when he finds the richest prairie soil
at lis disposal absolutely free. If he
has little capital, let him invest It
all In live stock and farm implements
he will find himself ten years ahead
OF the game. Some day such chance
Will not be found anywhere on the
face of the globe. But now the same
opportunities await you as awaited the
pioneer and not one hundredth part
Of the difficulties he encountered and
oyercame. Success in Canada is made
up of two things, natural resources
and human labor. Canada has the one
and you have the other.

on the offensive until definite result
| of the battle of the Aisne is obtained.
This was the Interpretation given in
| the official communication issued by
the war office of the unremitting at
tacks made by the Germans along the
entire battle line during the past three
days and nights. The report added
that the efforts of the enemy so far
had proved unavailing.
Thus the battle enters it's third
week with the rival armies engaged
in ceaseless struggle for inches of
ground. The fighting of the past "a
hours has been of an unprecedented
violence. Desperate attempts made
by the Germans on the western end
of the long battle line to break through
the allied forces, which are engaged in
a turning movement, have resulted in
the most furious fighting which has
taken place since the beginning of tho
campaign.

Russians accepted battle, are on the

The movement of German troops
from East Prussia in the direction of
Warsaw has come to nothing. In the.

serious repulse. The left flank of the
Russian army has defeated the troops

were prizes awarded in all districts in
Saskatchewan. The quality was ex-

the growing of alfalfa is quite success

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his re-
turn from a trip to Western Canada,
furnishes the following contributions:

And the little prairie hamlets, where
the cars go roaring by,
Wooden hamlets as l saw them-nobfe

To girdle stately Canada with gems

glamour and Of hope,
From the eastward gea-swept Islands

It is the inspiration that led Sir
Conan Doyle to pen the above that
has led the many Americans that are
now in Western Canada to make their
home Observation-Disclosures.

London, Sept. ga correspondent
of the Times, who has just returned
to London from Rheims, declared that
the Germans may at once be acquitted
of the charge that they wilfully dam
aged the Cathedral of Notre Dame in
Rheims. If it had been their inten,
ton to destroy the historic edifice, he
said, it could have been accomplished
in a few minutes.
The fact that the cathedral was full
Of wounded, left by the Germans

age occurred to the cathedral was uu
intentional rather than designed.

is that these operations, the fiercest
that have yet taken place, have been

until a decisive result is obtained.

Feeding Beef Cattle.

President Harrison, of the Southern
Railway Company, has received from
Messrs. X. s. Curtis and l.. W. Shook,
Animal Husbandmen in charge of Beel
Cattle and Sheep Investigations at the
North Carolina Agricultural Experiment
Station, a report of an experiment in
feeding two lots of beef cattle on the
farm of Mr.. r. A. Derby in Richmond
county, North Carolina. which will be
of interest to those who contemplate
feeding beef cattle in the South and are
deferred oy the assumption that a large
initial investment is necessary in the
way of barns and sheds.
One lot of sixteen steers was fed in an
open shed and given a run of sixteen
feet by thirty feet. Another lot of six
teen steers was fed in five-acre field.
The report shows that the cattle fed
outside made 81 pounds more gain per
bead than those fed on the inside, and
their final market condition was equally
as good as those fed under cover.
The feed for each lot of cattle con
sisted of LAO pounds of cotton seed,
250 pounds cotton seed hulls, 1920
pounds of corn, II, 915 pounds of corn
slower, and ~, 776 pounds of corn silage.
