WESTERN CANADA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES
PETROLEUM, NATURAL GAS, COAL
AND FARM LANDS.

The developments that have taken
place recently in the oil and gas fields
of Western Canada have but added
another to the many previous evil
dences that have been produced,
showing the great wealth that has
been an unknown asset for SO many
generations.
The latest reports from the oil
fields at Calgary show that there is a
production there that would appear
to equal the best paying fields on the
continent. Experts have been on the
ground for some time. 1t is said that
one of the wells is able to produce
1000 gallons an hour. If this is SO
there are but about a dozen wells in
the world of greater production. Dur
ing the past week discoveries of sur
face indications have been made which
show that oil exists over a consider
able portion of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan, while in Manitoba there have al
so been showings. At Battleford,
Saskatchewan, a few days ago discOv-
cries were made which led to the fill
ing for leases on twenty thousand
acres of land, all having strong sur
face indications. Companies were
formed to carry on immediate work.
and in couple of months, or probably
less, the story will be told whether oil
exists in paying quantities.
But there are also the coal deposits
and the natural gas deposits that are
helping to make of Western Canada
one of the wealthiest portions of the
continent.
With the grain fields covering these
hidden riches it is no wonder that a
continued range of optimism is to be
seen everywhere. Early reports OF
seeding of all grains being successful-
ly completed all over the country are
followed by reports of excellent and
strong growth everywhere. During
the first week in June most of the
wheat had reached growth of from
twelve to twenty inches, with the most
even appearance, almost universally,
that has been seen for years. Oats
appeared equally well, and covered the
ground in a way that brought the
broadcast kind of grin to overspread
the farmers countenance.
Barley, a favOrite with the hog rails
ers, had taken good root, and was
crowding oats for a first place, as to
length Of shoot. Cultivated fodder
grasses are getting great attention
as consequence of the inclination to
go more largely into mixed farming
and the raising Of hogs, cattle and
horses. The weather is reported fine
just what is needed, and if present
favorable conditions continue, the
grain crop Of Western Canada for 1914
will be the largest average in the his
tory of the country.-Advertisement

To Kill pandeIion Plants.

The best way to kill individual
dandelion plants is to cut off their
tops and put pinch of salt (about a
thimbIefuD on the surface of each ex-
posed roots. AS salt if generally ap-
piled ruins soil, the salt should be
used sparingly and applied only to
the root-tops of the dandelion. The
United States department of agricul-
ture has for some time been testing
various poisons to discover the most
efficient means of eradicating. this
troublesome weed from lawns, but
although others have been found sat
isfactory, the common salt is best for
general use, as there is no danger ac-
companying it's application.

roots to vary the monotony.
Do not pamper the stallion too
much. He can be worked lightly
every day to advantage. A five-mile
walk does stallion no good. Give
him brisk drive.
Is your horse cribber? Then give
him away.
The best horse we ever owned was
a Morgan mare whose mother died
when the colt was three weeks old.
She was raised by hand on cows milk,
molasses and corn meal until she was
old enough to take her place at the
trough.
When your neighbor sells a colt
for $3.50, and you can only get SIS for
yours. although it is the same age,
and just as big, you will probably wish
your stud fee had been little larger.

Take a look at the colts feet occa-

show signs of cracking pack with

Never allow your horse to become
whipshy. That kind of horse is
nearly as useless as gun-shy dog.
The bad habit of paving in the sta
BILE Is generally caused by irregular
feeding. A horse does not like to wait
for his meals any more than man
does.
Don't be alarmed if your horse

Peculiar Furnishing of Birds Nest.

A golfer who was playing over the
st. Neots (Huntingdonshire, England)
links the other day hit his ball into
a hedge, and after searching for it
some time without success, observed
a birds nest. From curiosity more
than with any expectation of finding
his ball there he looked into the nest
and found not only his own ball, but
three others as well.

Good Rotation.

A good rotation for mixed farming
is wheat, clover, meadow one year;
COW pasture for one year, corn, oats.
This makes a six-year rotation. Where
there are permanent pastures on the
farm, one year can be cut out by not
pasturing the clover the second year.

Shepherd DOG Led Coyote Pack.

When the leader of a coyote pack
was killed recently in Sligo, Colo, it
was found to be a shepherd collie dog
with a brass collar about it's neck.
This explained partly the boldness of
the pack, which had often come up
into the very yards of the settlers.

Measures Which May Come Up in the
South Dakota Legislature.

Huron, Nov. 28.-With a session
of the South Dakota legislature only
about five or six weeks away, and
with speculation keen as to the ma
ture of important bills to be intro
duced, the people of South Dakota
are displaying unusual interest in
the outcome in Missouri of the vote,
as officially announced a day or two
ago, On what was known as the full
crew bill and the fifty car limit bill.
which were submitted to the voters
of that state at the general election
Nov. 8. The majority against the
proposed full crew bill, as now off,
cially announced, was 164,492. The
newspapers and commercial and
farmers organizations, it is stated,
helped to defeat 1T. as it was esti-
mated that the 100000 extra an
nual expense which would have been
put upon the railroads would ulti-
mately have fallen upon the shippers
and railroad passengers of Missouri.
A similar proposed law was defeated
last year by the Illinois legislature.
The proposed fifty car limit bill also
was defeated by the voters OF Mis-
souri, by a heavy majority.
The outcome of the vote in Mis-
souri, on these two proposed laws is
of special interest to the people of
South Dakota, for the reason that
there have been rumors that similar
bills would be introduced during the
session of the South Dakota legisla-
ture which convenes early in Janu-
arv T,aor11rah DC A1iCnCnrf uoC ono
of the states which have been the
most active in enacting railroad reg
ulation laws, the defeat of these two
measures in that state. it is said, will
cause the abandonment Of the rumor
ed plans to introduce similar propos-
ed laws in the South Dakota legisla-
ture. South Dakota has been in the
forefront of the states of the union
in passing railway regulation laws
and about all that can be done along
this line without imposing unneces-
sary and unjust burdens upon the
railway lines Of South Dakota has
been accomplished.
1t is conceded that there now is a
disposition manifested by the resi-
dents of the state to permit the rail
roads to, without interference, con-
struct needed new lines in South Da-
kota and prosecute the work of de-
velopment which was halted when
the antirailroad campaign was inau-
gurated. 1t is said the business in
terests of South Dakota, 10 that all
necessary railway regulation laws
have been enacted, will stoutly dis
courage the enactment of any addi-
tional legislation along this line.
Therefore, the defeat of the full crew
and fifty car limit bills by the voters
of Missouri will have an important
effect in South Dakota, the business
and other interests being disposed to
profit from the experience of the peo-
pie of Missouri in this respect.

British Financier Says America Will
Feel Effects of War Later.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Great pros
perity for a time awaits the United
States in the opinion of Sir George
Paish, adviser of the British treasury
who sailed for Liverpool. Sir George
had been in this country for several
weeks at the invitation of President
Wilson, comforting with bankers and
treasury officials to clarity the finan-
cial problems that have arisen be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain since the beginning of the
European war.
During the war the United States
will have great prosperity" Sir
George asserted. Your misfortune
will come later. No misfortune that
falls upon a great number of people
can benefit any other people for any
great length of time. The world is
now consuming its seed corn and
this means nothing but loss. The
a generation.
after the war England will be
able to reduce her expenses for de-
Tense and will save in a few years
more than the war will have cost us.
No peace can be made until there is
assurance that militarism is crushed
forever. Prior to the war our ex-
penses on defense were $500. 600. 600
a year. After its close they will be
cut in half"
Sir George expressed the opinion
that no trouble would result from
the reopening next Saturday of the
New York stock exchange for re-
stricted trading in bonds. He thought
that the London exchange would re-
open soon. By the first of the year,
he said, confidence would be general
ly restored and the business of the
stock exchanges would be conducted
without any great liquidation and in
a regular manner.
Henry p. Dawson of ]. p. Morgan
and company. sailed with Sir George
to discuss with the English financiers
and treasury officials the matters
taken up by Sir George in this coun-
try.

marck, N. d.
On July 2, 1877, himself and four
other men started from Spearfsh in
a northwesterly direction across the
Belle Fourche river. After travelling
about 20 miles through the Indian
infested wilderness frequently chang
ing their course and enduring great
hardships, the daring explorers at
last came upon the old Bismarck
trail. On their return TO Spearfish
an estimate based on the knowledge
they had gained was made, but be-
cause of the vast amount of work
necessary the project of opening the
road to Bismarck was temporarily
abandoned, but afterward was car
ried through. One of the strange
features of the remarkable journey
through the wilderness vas that al
though the region contained thou
sands of warlike Indians, they were
so fortunate as not to encounter a
single Indian.
Bradley was a crack shot with rifle
or pistol. He possessed a fearless
spirit and was the natural leader in
any expedition in the early days of
the Black Hills which called for
nerve and ability to handle any en-
envy the expedition might encounter.
Bradley's parents moved to Missouri
when he was a child, and when the
war of the rebellion broke out. he
having grown to manhood. enlisted
in the southern army and served
with distinction with Prices cavalry
force. He was one of the last of the
famous plainsmen and scouts OF the
west.

county came into the local land of
flee and announced his desire to file

he gave was of a tract of Yankton

was accepted. and he stated that
since the time OF the survey the tract
had grown to about $50 acres by ac-

FRONTIERSMAN DIES

the pioneer days of the Black Hills
and the northwest as the kit Car
SON. of the northwest, died in the
Odd Fellows home at Dell Rapids,
after a prolonged illness. He was
born in Indiana in 1889, and his life
was filled with thrilling incidents
which would have furnished the
basis for a novel.
In 1876 he located in the Black
Hills, arriving soon after the first
white men reached the Hills to re-
main following the discovery of gold
in Deadwood gulch and other Sec
tions of the Hills. Himself and an
other man cut the logs for the first
structure erected on the present site
of the thriving town of S~pearish.
He also aided in constructing the
second building in the then new
town. OF the daring and hardy set
