average cost of transporting the same

E$B a thousand. or about 200 per cent
EaTeater than from Canada. In. some
INSTANCES this advantage in freight

700 PENNIES EARN SITS
Sunday School Pupils Give Practical
Demonstration of "Parable
of the Talents"

Frankfort, Ind.-How 700 Lincoln
pennies grew into SITS in year was
related at the Methodist Sunday
school here. The school wishes a
new chapel, and the superintendent
decided to test the practicability Of
the Parable of the Talents" He dis
tributed 700 pennies among the 700
pupils, who we're told to increase the
amount as much as possible during
the year.
AS the classes and pupils were
called on to make their report, the
Y. w. B. G. class, composed OF CT
young women, reported having made
$31.37 from the 81 pennies. The Ok
ford class was next, turning in 1868.
The home department class was a
close third with $25.
Reports from some of the little chill
dren were interesting. George Dor
ner bought an egg with her penny,
Matched chicken, raised the chicken
and sold it for 81. Russell Eubanks
bought penny's worth of white corn !;
his mother made it into hominy,
which he sold, realizing 40 cents. Els
Their Stewart bought popcorn with her
penny and realized 81 from the sale
Of the popped corn.
The plan worked so we'll that it will
be tried another year.

FINDS A REAL BL0CKHEAD
Fashioned by Nature on Red Cedar
II Resembles a Huge and
jolly GargoyIe.

Minneapolis. Fashioned by freak
of nature, the original "blockhead" OF
the Northwest was recently found In
the woods by G. B. Schoepf, No. 3540
Chicago avenue. Its Uranium Is a
bulgy cedar knot Its eyes are grain
lined indentations, its nose bulge,
and its mouth crease out OF which
darts, tongue fashion, broken
branch. The whole droll creature re-
sembles the head of some jolly squat
individual who had been turned into
wood and was hugely amused at the
necromancy.
While hunting along the bluffs about
two miles above Hastings Mr..
Schoepf, scanning tree tops for game,
saw the fantastic head peering down
at him like a gargoyle Instead of
letting fly with shot from his gun he
investigated the specimen, discover
ing that it wasn't a new kind of game,
but knot grown to red cedar. He
detached the head and has kept 1t In
his collection of relics since. The
knot has not been touched with a
tool or even veneered, but rubbing
against the sides of the hunters
game bag impaired a polish to the
wood which resembled a ruddy glow.

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

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 9Th
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.
shed. 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
mas 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
q 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 corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards of 5000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
In Alberta many of the more progress
slve farmers are taking hold of it.
The yield varies according to the Gull
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine ton per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years, has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that a 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 a marketable corn
equal to that 1t 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 lie 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 a 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 mp farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-
vertisement.
