WESTERN CANADA LEADS
As WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 Bushels Wheat In
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
ers Paid FOR Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

Tlnt Western Canada Is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
It's 1915 crop exceeded. acre for acre,
the production of amy country on this
continent In n striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In'10i5 the Dominion Of Canada pro-
duced 3TG. 0O0.OOO bushels OF wheat,
which represented mn average yield of
20 bushels TO the mere. The United
States produced 1911 100000 bushels,
yield Of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors In wheat produc-
ton IN South America were Argentine,
with 1921 600 bushels, or less than
IL bushels per ncre, and Chile, with
100000 bushels or 10 bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
3i2,OOO,OOn bushels out of the total ca
indian 37G.O00,OO q bushels. II Will be
seen, therefore, that, outside of the
United Stntes, Western Cunndn pro-
duced considerably more than the com
blned productions Of North and South
America. Canada Is of coursc n new
settled country, and the fact That the
crop of the United States was practl-
ally three times MS much Is no dis
cournFemcnt. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada In approximately
the same area.

In 1916 the crop was not ms heavy,
but the Yields In many districts were
very large. So large, indeed, was the
acreage under cultivation In 1915 that
the resulting crop proved too large to be

slow. A less amount Of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
IN n less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was too busy with his

essnrlly reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring of 1916. Add to

new ANESTHETIC OF VALUE
Substitute for Ether That Greatly Fa-
ciIitates Necessary Operation on
Cats and Dogs.

If some cats and dogs were not
dumb they would undoubtedly get up
a testimonial to pr. George w. Little
to express their gratitude to him for
introducing a substi for ether-a
substitute which enables them to with
stand operations that are particular
ly hazardous when performed under
ether.
Although because of lack Of imagina-
ton animals do not suffer mentally as
do humans when facing an operation,
1t is impossible to perform a serious
operation with the aid of q local an
esthetic. Doctor Little has succeeded
by adapting to his uses the gas an
esthetic used by dental surgeons, says
the Popular Science Monthly.
The machine which Doctor Little en-
plOys in his work in the Animal hos
pital in New York city, conducted by
the American Society for the Proven
tiOn of Cruelty to Animals, consists
of two cylinders, one containing nj
trous oxide and the other oxygen. The
cylinders are connected with two bags
by tubes. One bag is filed with the
gas, the other with the oxygen. The
outlet of each bag passes into one tube
connected with the mOuthpiece that is
attached to the patients nose. The
proportions of the gas employed may
be regulated by valves.

The Cormorant.

Milton mentioned the cormorant in
his poetical works and compared the
bird to Satan. The cormorant has a
habit, otter diving, of perching on a
tree or rock with Outstretched wings
as though it were hanging itself out
to dry. 1t will remain mOtiOnless in
this attitude for a long time.
COrmOrant fishing is carried on by
certain classes of the Japanese at
night, and in their boats they carry
braziers with flaming wood fires to
attract the fish. 1t has been written
that the imperial household depart
ment of Japan, in order to protect
and aid this old practice of fishing,
pays a small yearly pension to the
professional fishers and allows them
free access to certain forests that they
may have wood to. feed the fishing
fires in the braziers.

ONLY MOBILES AND PEASANTS
Russia a Country Where There 10 No
Middle Class, as in the Rest
of Europe.

Contrary to the laws existing in Eng
land and Sweden, in Russia when a
lady belonging to titled family mar
ries Russian gentleman without
title she takes her husbands name en-
tirely, and the only right left to her of
her former title is to write on her
visiting cards and official papers, "Mrs.
SO-and-So, born Princess, Countess or
Baroness So-and-So." Her children are
called by their fathers name. There
are only few exceptions to this rule,
according to London Tit-Bits.
In Russia no middle class or gentry
are known. There are only mobiles and
peasants. The czar, however, grants
sometimes for special merit the right
to be styled nObleman, and also for
the same reason the titles Of count and
baron, and occasionally that of prince.
All those merchants who have kept
firms fiourishing for hundred years
have the right to receive the title Of
baron. This law was made by Peter
the Great over 200 years ago, but the
merchants very seldom accept this Ger
man title and generally decline the
privilege.
In former days when the peasants
were still slaves they had no family
names, but were called by their faith
er's Christian name. Peters son was
called son of Peter-in Russian PetrOv.
So also Smirnov-Simon's son; Ivanov
-1van's (JOhn) son and so on. When
slavery was abolished and the eman-
cipatiOn proclaimed by the Emperor
Alexander II, they all kept these
names. Since then many of them
have received the right to belong to
the class Of mobiles.
The Russian clergy, belonging to the
class of peasants, for it very seldom
happens that mobiles become priests,
have special family names. Their
names mean always a feast day, or q
precious stone, or something connected
with the church. In former days the
clergy'was a class apart, and a son Of
a clergyman was bound to be q clergy
man, and when they first entered the
church they chose a name for them
selves.

NO POLITICAL PROMOTIONS.

The war department has issued a
notice to the men at some of the army
camps warning them not to ask for
army promotions through political
influence. Politics is so ingrained in
American life that it is natural thing
that some of our army boys should
seek this way of getting ahead.
1t has been the principle that when
anyone wants anything within the gift
of his government, he should See"
his congressman. He thinks it is not
necessary for him to perfect himself
in the line in which he is seeking an
opportunity, if he has political pull.
That thing may 60 in civil life, but
fortunately it has no great influence
in the army and is not likely to. The
army men do not want officers who
obtained their positions through
friendship. They want the best talent
there is. When fellow begins to pull
wires, it will look as if he knows he
couldn't get by on merit.

These men are confronted with the

There is grave danger that there will
be a serious slaughter of breeding
cows throughout the southwest. The
plan which the bureau of animal in.
dustry of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture undertook some
weeks ago was to save some of these
animals by moving them from the
drouth stricken regions to states east
Of the Mississippi. But as winter pro.
crosses the situation has become more
acute and help is needed from the
corn belt. Geo. NJ. Rummel, chief of
the animal husbandry division of the
bureau, has asked Iowa State college
to lend it's aid in getting the news Of
the situation to Iowa farmers as soon
as possible. Here is a good chance
for Iowa farmers to get a good herd
of breeding cattle and aid our fellow
farmers at the same time," says Prof
w. Fl. Pew, head of the animal indus
try department of the college. Found
ing of breeding herd of COWS for the
production of beef steers is paving
the way for profits in the future The
animal husbandry section of the eX-
pertinent station has found in three
years cooperative work with the Wal.
nut Ridge Stock Farm at Whiting,
Iowa, that herd of grade cows has
been highly profitable. Calves from
this herd of about 100 head of COWS
have been fed out as baby beeves at

The average weight of these calves
at the beginning was .401 pounds each.
During the average feeding period of
294 days. an average daily gain Of
l.84 pounds calf was made. This
made the total average daily gain Of
492 pounds. The average final weight
was S92 pounds Estimating the av.
erage initial value at 8 cents a pound,
the calves cost their owners $S,599.04.
or $32.0S for each animal. The total
feed bill was $14,29228, or $500 for
each baby beef fed At Is cents for
selling price, the animals would have
brought $33,3G0.46, or an average of
$1G4.96 an animal. This would make
the total profit for the boys and girls
in the contest $15,2922S. In other
