SNOWFALL ADOPTS MIDNIGHT

And Snowfall was right; it was bad
weather. for, neither showing nor rain

thing was covered with a glare Of
slippery, treacherous ice, and it was
unusually cold Kit and Puff looked
with amazement when Snowfall came
out with the red collar of his sweater
drawn as far as 1t would go up around
his neck, completely covering his coll
lar and partly covering his face.
"You are not going to town morn
ing like this?" they asked as Snowfall
started toward where the team was
standing "Oh, yes" said SNOWFALL

the seat Of the wagon to wait for his
master.
In town there were number of long
waits while goods were being bought
or delivered, and one of the longest OF
them was in part of the town where
Snowfall did not remember Of having
ever been before. The houses were
tumbledown in appearance. with here
and there blind swinging loosely on
one hinge, and not a few windows
from which the glass had been broken.
This must be the slum district"

from the wagon While he was walk

of the wagon at once he heard faint
''meouw'' from the ground. and going
over to that side of the wagon from
which the sound seemed to come he
saw the most disreputable little black
kitten that he had ever seen. His
little body was so small and poor that
his head looked two sizes too large
for him, and his eyes were all watery
with tears as he looked up at Snow
ball and meouwed again.
What's the matter, kitten?' said
SNOWFALL; why don't you go home
where it's nice and warm and get
something 70 eat? You look hungry"

TALLY solved before we can get the
right answer to many others.
At every farmers club and grange
meeting, institute and fair this year
the subject should be brought up

get back into the battle once more,
even If it is an old struggle. We may
know all about the statistics of what
bad roads cost us yearly, but pos
sibly the other fellow don't, or If he
did know, has forgotten. Most of our
movements have to be worked out
and planned for IN the winter, and we
must see what can be done during
the coming autumn and winter for
better roads.
In the meantime we can drag and
work and do a little missionary duty.
Keep the road drag going every hour
this summer when 1t is needed and
when you can spare the time.

Well, said SNOWFALL, when mas

do for you. Wait around while"
When the master was about to jump
on the team SNOWFALL stopped him
and called his attention to the little
kitten and told him the story he had
just heard His master agreed with
Snowfall that something ought to be
done, and as it was about lunch time
they agreed to take the kitten on to
the wagon and carry him along to
the place where SNOWFALL got his usual
saucer of milk When Snowfall got
his milk the little kitten got saucer,
too, and he ate it as if he had never
had anything good before.
Tastes pretty good. don't it?' said
SNOWFALL as he smoothed his mustache
a little after he had finished. Won't
you have a little more?" The kittie
said he would and finished another
saucer almost as quickly as he had the
first one.
While the kitten was drinking the
second saucer SNOWFALL was over in
the corner talking with his master.
and as the kitten finished Snowfall
said to him: Il have decided to take
you along with me to my home out
in the country if you would like to 60.
The kitten was ul1ick IN cav that Y,a

get upon the seat of the wagon, his
master took corner of the horse

DAISY FLY KILLER
Modernizing the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile new hold on life. The war
brought it to the forefront in a new
field. The soldier of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car. AS a result, the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life of ca in the
battle lines is estimated at thirty days.
But it is not only the war zone that
has lost part of its picturesqueness
through the use of the automobile,
the latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some of its
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at its wheel on our western
prairies discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the ever-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup. Many

run must feel Disconnected when it

a time in the history OF American
agriculture when they received more
attention. They are In the rays OF
the nations spotlight. agricuiturally
speaking,
To their credit is must be said that
they are taking the donors modestly.
They are going ahead and proving In
conclusive manner that they are justly
entitled to the good things being said
of them.
What the boys and girls are doing
today to promote better agriculture is
of inestimable value TO the country at
large. Not only does 1t tend to in
crease crop production, but 1t Is MAX
ing life more attractive on the farm.
Through the medium Of boys corn
clubs and girls garden and canning
clubs the boys and girls are learning
that there is much that is worth while
in country life. With education along
these lines and the unfolding Of the
mysteries of plant life 1t is becoming
more difficult to lure them from the
farm.
The boys corn club work is def
mite effort by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the state agri-
cultural colleges, and other institutions
to promote and encourage increased
production of corn at reasonable cost
on small areas and to offer plan OF
vocational guidance by requiring club
members to master a complete corn
crop operation.
This begins with the selection of
suitable seed anG follows the opera
ton to marketing or feeding and in
cludes the making up of a complete
crop report of the work. its cost and
expenses. In this work the profit on
the investment is as important as
the matter of yield.
The future of American agriculture
is largely dependent on the boys and
girls of today, and it is the purpose
of this corn club movement to assist
the ether forces now at work to in
teIest, instruct and direct the boys of
our villages and rural communities in
the possibilities of farming as a profit

Corn growing on the one-acre basis
is used as medium of instruction
and interest. AS a field crop of in
terest and cash value it has no
superior. From the standpoint of its
economical relation to farm manage
ment it will encourage diversified
farming, soil building by rotation of
crops, the feeding of hogs, the keep
ing of other live stock, etc, and is

One man cannot look after all the

without an organization to keep after

BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures Just compiled by the public
fty branch of the provincial depart
ment show that last year, notwith-
standing that quite O third of the pro-
vince was affected by the drought to
very serious extent, the total value
Of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that Of the previous year. AL
though southern Alberta had a bad
year agriculturally, the province as a
whole experienced period OF great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year.
The value Of mixed farming, in fact,
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value Of the butter, milk, cheese. poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 3015 to
the acre. Sold at an average of soc
per bushel, these yielded revenue Of
$17198.558. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing little short of one million bush
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926. At an aver
age Of s1.35 per bushel, the value Of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,387,812. The total production Of
barley was 7,S47,640 bushels, which, at
55c per bushel, yielded revenue OF
$4,316,202.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax, 207,115 bushels, $310,672.0 90; rye,

The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $7S,516,S91 as COM
pared with s5S,0eS ,0S4 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of the live stock in the province
at the end Of the year was s110,O44,-
