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 that on first
of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
a few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
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-
tens1ve cultivated grass pastures is
In evidence everywhere. The cult
walton Of fodder corn Is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards Of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many Of the more progress
siVe farmers are taking hold OF it.
The yield varies according to the Gull
tiVation 1t receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions Of Manitoba wheEe, it has
been poor for some years, SUCCESS has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals 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 we'll known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage of the splendid gift of 100 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 large number Of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage Of sales made to settlers
In the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who Will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-
vertisement.

Queens All in Flames.

Obeying tradition, a bonfire was
lighted the other night at the gypsy
camp, Simonsville, and will be kept
until it consumes all the effects of
Tryphena Mcneil, queen Of the tribe
of her name, who died in hospital
here.
Fuel has been furnished by costly
clothing, including a $3.50 fur coat and
everything she owned or handled, val
ued at thousands of dollars.
Mrs. Mcneil was the wife of King
Samuel. Her reputation as a seeress
brought many rich clients to her
Waterbury Comm Dispatch to New
York World.

CHAPTER XIII.

Tamarack Spicer sat on the top of
g box car, swinging his legs over the
side. He was clad in overalls, and in
the pochets of his breaches reposed
a bullying flask Of red liquor, and an
unbulging pay envelope. Tamarack
had been "railroading" for several
months this time. He had made a
new record fol- sustained effort and
industry but now June was beckon-
Eng him to the mountains with vaga-
bond warnings for freedom and lei
sure Many things had invited his soul.
Almost four years had passed since
hanson had lett the mountains. and
In four years woman can change her
mind. Sally might, when they met on
the road, greet him once more as kins-
man and agree to forget his faulty
method of courtship. This time he
would be more diplomatic. Yesterday
he had gone to the boss and called
for his time" Today he was paid off.

AS he reflected on these matters a
fellow-trainman came along the ton

side. This brakeman had also been

From the house came the strains of
an alluring waltz. For little time
they listened without speech, then the
girl said very gravely:
"You won't-you won't still feel
bound to kill your enemies, will you,
Samson?"
The mans face hardened.
"I believe I'd rather not talk about
that. l shall have to win back the
confidence l have lost. l shall have to
take place at the head of my clan
by proving myself a man-and man
by their own standards. 1t is only
at their head that l can lead them.
If the lives of few assassins have to
be forfeited I shan't hesitate at that.

The girl breathed deeply, then she
heard Samson's voice again;
"Drennie, want you to understand
that if / succeed it is your success.
You took me raw and unfashioned and
you have made me. There is no way
of thanking you"
There is a way" she contradicted.

First English Newspaper.

The first newspaper printed in the
English language, with its old English
type and its quaint account of events
in foreign countries. was a pamphlet
issued in 1921. Its title, "Corrant or
Nerves from Italie, Germanie, France.
and other places" is as curious as its
contents. For many years it had been
supposed that no copy of the Corrant
was in existence, but recently a copy
of this interesting document was dis
covered.

King county is going to have two fine, nice, ex-

The commissioners have said so-after the golf
enthusiasts declared for it and the limousine crowd
brought sufficient pressure to bear.
On Monday last the commissioners awarded con-
tract for concrete paving of the Greenwood road
to the golf links, three and half miles, TO COST,
WHEN FINALLY SURFACED, THE SUM OF $4,000.
This expenditure will be made in spite of the fact
that there is the North Trunk road from the north
limits of the city, brick-surfaced and costing $30O00
mile, leading within half mile of the Golf club and
connecting with il by means of the Conover road.
