TALK On WESTERN
CANADA
Facts Don't Lie-WeStern Can
ada Is Full of Faets-titre
Are Three of Them.

1. c. T. Moore, Underhill, Man.
Came from Bruce County, Ontario,
1882, with a capital Of $500. Home
steaded quarter section. Now owns
$500 acres for which he paid average
of s20.00-worth today $4,000 per acre.
2. James Steel, Battleford, Sas-
katchewan. Came from Perthshire,
Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000
acres at $500 per acre. Has been
very successful in mixed farming.
Values land now at $4,000 per acre,
and is worth $4,000. "If l had re-
manned in the Old Country my gray
hairs would have been a passport to
the poor house he says.
8. H. ]. Smith, Glover Bar, Alberta.
Came from North Michigan, 1893,
without capital. Now farming 500
acres, valued at 5000 per acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.
Engaged in mixed farming. Cows
average him $4,000 a year.
All this talk about the exploitation
Of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost of living, and
SO forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility Of being
robbed Of freedom and independence;
that the high cost of living can't hurt
the man who grows most of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
ward IN exact and just proportion to
time and intelligence invested
If those who whine at urban condi-
tons would give little time to in
vestigating those suburban, they
would likely spy clear way out Of
their difficulties. For the first step,
drop a card to any Canadian Govern
ment Agent Advertisement

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound,
ed, brings back the natural color and
Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays
by asking at any store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

Unfamiliar to English.

Many Of our names for common
fauna and fora are unknown to an
Englishman, save a. strange American
isms, e. g., raccoon, opossum, skunk
terrapin, chipmunk and moose; per
simmon, chinquapin, alfalfa and yam.
He seldom sees popcorn or an oyster
stew; he knows nothing Of oyster sup
pers, clam bakes and burgoo picnics
He doesn't buy either red lemonade
or peanuts when he goes to the cir
Gus; the former he calls lemon-squasn
and the latter he doesn't know at all.
The common American use Of peanut
as an adjective of disparagement, e. g.
peanut politics, is comprehensive
to him.

POUITPYNOTES

Stronger fertility is secured from
birds on range.
Allow the hens free range. Wire
in the garden, not the hens.
Spray the brood coops once a week
with some good solution and move to
fresh ground
Be sure and feed the table scraps
to the fowls. Milk is one O. the best
feeds for egg production.
See that there is absolutely nc draft

stand much cold, but drafts viii kill

MEN OF LAW AT A PREMIUM
Legal Lights Were Comrades in Mis-
fortune of Man Who Was In
weighed into Card Game.

"One of the boys put rae on to a
little game" said the dry good drum
mer, and l went around to see what
it was like. There was about thirty
respectable looking people in the room,
and one of them was trying to teach
me the value of the cards when the
police broke in and made clean
sweep of everybody. Next morning
when arraigned at the police court
wanted lawyer, and there was gen.
eral laugh in the court when his honor
replied with a smile:
Il don't know where you'll get one.
There are several in town, but all are
in the pen with you'll
TT was So" continued the drummer,
and things might have gone hard
with US had 1t not been for the fact
that the Judge was there, too, but had
just stepped out as the raid was made.

but he let US of with fine of 81 each

Lawyers Still Use Quill Pens

The quill pen is not quite extinct in
London. The legal profession, which
is very conservative, cIings to it te-
naciously, and none of the courts
would be completely equipped without
q plentiful supply of good goose quilts.
Have you noticed what an indispens-
able accessory the quill is to counsel,
whether in SYSTEMATICALLY taking a
note, making a speech, or in helping
to point a warning finger at a hos

Degeneration of the House.

No Jokes are better appreciated than
those that are made unwittingly by
sober-minded men. Not long ago a
solemn member of congress was hold
ing forth in that body in a pessimistic
strain about what he felt to be a great
falling OF in the character and stand
ing of that august body. Since I
came into this house four years ago, -
he announced with the utmost gravity.

LegumeS.

No group of plants is more valuable
to Kansas agriculture than the le-
gumes-aIfalfa, clovers and cowpeas.
The cash returns from these lines are
not exceeded by the values of the 9th
er general field crops, and in addition
they have a very beneficial effect on
soil fertility. A great increase in the
acreage of the 1egumes is much need
ed in Kansas.

Doo Not Always at Fault.

1t is not at all unlikely that the mas
ter of a dog is more to blame for his
sheep-killing propensities than the
dog himself. Whenever dog is half
starved, he is apt to take up with the
first plan that enters his head for Sc
curing a little something to eat. In
this state he makes his first visit to
some sheepfold or pasture and hence
forth is a ruined canine.

Dave Bosler, an employee of the

Gently which might have proved seri-

and attempting to light his pipe with

Why they Were Attentive.

A clergyman preaching in a country
church for the first time was delighted
to find the congregation very attentive
and told the yerger so after the sery-
ice. The verger replied:
''Lor' bless you, sir, we was all look

why, what do you mean?" said the
clergyman.

Make the Liver
Do its DUTY
Never IN Doubt What to Do Next.

Mary Jane, child of five, just
loved" to attend the meetings of a
West side church society with her
mother, particularly so because 1t
meant luncheon away from home
One afternoon at one of these meet
ings the minister was vociferously ex-
planning the needs of the church and
plans to secure aid, which seemed
fruitless. In despair he exclaimed:
What shall we do next?"
There was a thoughtful silence, then
suddenly a small voice piped out:
Lets eat!"-Kansas City Star.

MoIasses to Dairy Cows.

When molasses is fed to dairy cows,
it is usually preferable to mix it with
the grain feeds in the feed cart; the
molasses being poured over the mixed
grain feed and the mass then worked
over thoroughly with the shovel or a
fork, until all the particles have mo-
Iasses coating. Diluting the molasses
with an equal amount Of water will
make the mixing easier.
