! AD A CAPITAL OF $500
In Six Years He Was Well Oft

An Alberta farmer, who had bor-
rowed from q loan company, in re-
hitting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on a Mani
toba farm. 1t was that Of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit OF those
who contemplate a change the liberty
is taken of reproducing it.
II will give you here a brief sum-
mary of my experience since coming
here six years ago. was new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$500, which was q first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ''on time,"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 26 acres broken and very,
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning a
number of mischances, he says: I'm
spite of all these drawbacks, have
uohC we'll. VOuSlOSI "Ol III
$500 to $4,000. I have four head Of
horses, II of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff Orpington chickens and 125 tur-,
keys, besides implements, harness, etc.,
to run my place. I have a well ITO
feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
Of water. The we'll with pump cost
me $500. have built $125 chicken
house and put up nearly $50 worth Of
poultry fencing; have built root cellars
to hold over 5000 bushels Of potatoes
and other vegetables. AS to income, I
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
1000 total. I generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from Sc to $14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neighT
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf.
Last year so hens laid 600 dozen eggs
which averaged more than % cents a
dozen Il always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at 81 each. Ny
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. By
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
SIS each in spring. "-Advertisement. !

Washington, April 4.-Senator Rob.
ert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin has set
his personal opinion once more against
the rule of the majority in the United
States senate, and taking advantage OF
a technicality, delayed one day the
passage of a resolution asked for by
the president formally declaring the
state of war already thrust upon the
United States by Germany.
Postponement Forced.
In the face of this situation the
house foreign relations committee was
forced to postpone it's meeting, but
accompanied the announcement with
the declaration of one member:
1--WE are ready to do business"
A canvass of congress showed that
It approved President Wilson's speech
and his recommendations.
THE best speech he ever made"
was the most frequent characterize
ton on both sides of the capitol.
No Question of Passage.
In view of that hearty Endorsement
from Republicans and Democrats,
there will be no question about the
big issues. The president will get
what he wants and congress will see
to it that the war is pushed to bring
the German empire to terms and end
the war;"
Congress leaders made this an
| nouncement and the senate foreign at.
| fairs committee gave concrete evil
dence of that spirit by quickly report.
! ing out war resolution" That meas
| ure turned over to Wilson the fullest
military power of the United States
and pledged all the other resources Of
| the nation.
Representatives Also Delayed.
The House foreign committee could
not act in the absence of appointment
of Republican members, and when the
House heard the Republican choices
for the committee, it was learned that
the Senate had been "held up" by La
Toilette and the representatives were
| forced to mark time. The House ad.
| journment followed quickly after that
of the Senate.

Amsterdam, April 8. Almost a

still open. The Voerwarts expressed
the belief that departure Of American

some way with the Czernin interview.
