WELL" were the two lines on a war cor
respondence card received By Judge
l.. T. Boucher from his soE, John
Boucher, who is before Ypres as a
member of machine gun battery A,
Fourteenth battalion, First Manitoba

of the four days battle at Ypres. dur
ing which the Thirteenth and Four
teenth battalions of the Highlanders
were almost entirely annihilated.
Since the battle Judge Boucher, who
is in partnership with Congressman
Royal C. Johnson here, has been ca
gerly scanning all of the large eastern
and Canadian papers for word from
his boy, but not until he received a
card from him this week did he know
the lads fate.
Boucher served an enlistment with
the navy as gunner, and when the war
broke out, decided hat he wanted to
get some practical experience in the
wal game, so went to Montreal, where
he enlisted with the ~Highlanders.

Gregory.-Despondent because of
the death of his wife q little more than
a year ago. from which blow he could
not recover, Joseph Vavruska, a home
steader living near here. died of a
broken heart on his wife's grave in
the local cemetery.
He mourned the death of his wife
deeply and always imagined that she
was calling him to come to her. At
frequent intervals he was accustomed
to visit his wife's grave and would re.
main there for hours, weeping. There
is no doubt in the minds of his friends
that his excessive grief affected his
mental faculties.
When found dead on his wife's
grave he was lying face downward
with his head resting on his arms. and
it was evident that when overtaken
by death he was weeping. He was

walked over to a clump Of bushes
where he thought the dog had a snake

was a rabbit asleep. He struck the
animal with his riding quirk, and was
greatly SURPRISED when a wild cat shot
six feet into the air. Mr.. Dog Was
right after the bob cat when it struck
the ground and kept the feline en-
gagged until Mr.. Emery returned from
the house with his shot gun, quickly
ending the animals life.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
OF April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information Is to hand hat en- first
of May all seeding was practically an
isiied. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking. and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
III did not get their land prepared
last fall, Will be later than the others.
but as the spring in Western Canada
mas been very open they will be only
q few days later. At the time OF
writing rain would be welcome. but
at seeding time, the ground contained
a splendid lot of moisture and the
lack OF rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably in
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures Is
in evidence everywhere. The cult
walton of fodder corr is being largely
entered upon IN Manitoba there be-
ing upwards OF 25 900 acres In corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large Increase in the area planted, and
in Alberta many of the more progress
sive farmers are taking hold OF 1t.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation 1t receives, and runs from
ftve 70 ! tons per acre. In some
portions Of Manitoba where It mas
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that a variety will soo be-
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will al an early
date give TO Western Canada a lame
for the growing Of a marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
yeals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers Is so well known, there
Will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage of the splendid gift of 160 acres
OF land made by the Government of
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands OF some of the railway com
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February a large number of IL
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large

Belle Fourche.-The spring lamb
shearing season is well under way
throughout this section. Local
growers report a good big percentage
of lambs this season, and the weather
has been very satisfactory for the
work. 1t is believed that the biggest
and best crop of wool ever turned out
of this section will be marketed next
month. Continuous snow throughout
the winter has left the wool in a clean
condition, and abundance of feed
brought the sheep through without a
break in the clip. 1t is estimated that
1000, 900 to $500, 900 pounds will be
marketed from this point.

Why Men Eat More Thar Women.
That men eat five or six per cent
more than women-not because they
are %gluttons, but because they actually
require hat much more nourishment
appears as a result f an investiga-
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G.. Benedict and L. f.
Eames, says the Literary Digest, The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller proper
ton of active tissues than men of
the same weight and more inactive
material, such as fat. The investiga-
ton disclosed that the average wom-
an generates only 1856 heat units in
the "a hours, as against 1,63S pro-
duced by the man, or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound of
body weight. When groups were COM
pared after careful selection CO !nai.
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight, the men were found to pro-
duce about IL per cent mor heat than
women.
