Sheep-Raisino in the East.

If the abandoned farms could be
utilized for sheep-raising, it will be a
long way togard reducing the cost of
living in this country. The sheep in
dustry was originally started on the
Atlantic seaboard of course; but it
has worked its way westward until
now there are only a few sheep breed
ers in the East That the industry
can be brought back to the East is a
sure thing. Sheep. it is well known,
are the most economical domestic ami
mails produced. They can live on al
most nothing. 1t has been estimated
that every sheep in the United States
produces profit of $40 annually. If
we can bring back the industry to the
eastern states and use the abandoned
farms for grazing, we shall very soon
make a dent in the high cost of liv-
ing.-BoSton Globe.

Cleansing the Mind.

There are kinds of illness that clear
the system, and there are kinds that
spread through the system a subtle
infection. There are wounds that
heal from the outside and that tester
within. In the mind and the spirit
there may be conditions precisely sim
liar. Now, everything depends on the
treatment, upon getting ut the deepest
causes, sometimes so far away as tC
be almost beyond detection. When we
trace the causes we are almost GER
tain to find them associated with some
defect of character. 1t is this defect
that must be treated. The wound may
be only the clamoring of health, under
the circumstances blessing in dis
guise, bringing warnings and lncen'
tives-John d. Barry, in New York

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.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress of Wheat" to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1915 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376000,000 bushels of wheat,
which represented an average yield of
% bushels TO the acre. The United
States produced 1,011, sos, 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 17S,221 900 bushels, or less than
l. bushels per acre. and Chile, with
19UO0,000 bushels or Is bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
342,00O,000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376,O00,000 bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that. outside of the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production of North and South
America. Canada is of course a new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop Of the United States was practi-
cally three times as much is no dis
enlargement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces of Western Canada
and in the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity OF
wheat. The figures are taken from the
.. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

In 1916 the crop was not as 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
all threshed the same fall. 1t over
loaded railroads, and made marketing
slow. A less amount of fall blowing
was done than would have been done
in less heavy year, because the aver
age farmer was 100 busy with his
threshing. All these conditions nee
essarily reacted upon the acreage
seeded In the spring of 1916. Add to
this that labor last year, owing to the
great number of Canadians who have
enlisted, was scarce and high-priced,
and one factor in the decreased yield
smallc. acreage under crop was evil
dent.
Another factor Is that this year
Western Canada has experienced, in
common with the entire North Ameri-
can continent, conditions that tave
been less favorable to the production
of big crops. The conditions have re-
suited in smaller yield per acre land
reduced grade of grain in certain local
tiles.
The average yield Of wheat in the
three western provinces is estimated
by the government at about 16 bushels
per acre, oats 43 bushels, and barley
81 bushels.
The financial value of their crops to
Western Canadian farmers has been
greater this year than ever BEFORE
Owing to the high prices of grain that
are prevailing, returns have Deen re-
ceived that are extremely profitable.
With wheat standing at the present
time at over S1.90 per bushel at the
Great Lakes, a wheat crop at present
foures would pay the farmer, even
supposing he had only the average OF
16 bushels per acre, over S30.0O per
acre. A large number are receiving
$4,000 per acre-scme have received
$500. and few even more than that.
This price. of course, rs not all profit:
If represents the gross return, ana the
cost of operation must be deducted.
But it does not, even at the highest ng-
ures cost more than 65 cents TO raise
a bushel of wheat in Western Canada,
so that the profit can be figured accord
ingly. 1t must be emphasized that the
acre which produces a $4,000 crop costs
in the first case, probably less than
that. In the United States the same
class of land would cost in many dls-
+ricts from 500 to $500 per acre, ana
even then a return of $1,000 would be
considered extremely satisfactory. In
Western Canada the best class OF ag-
ricultural land, capable of producing
crons that in size compare with any
country in the world except, perhaps,
some European countries. can be OBJ
tanned at, on the average, from so TO
$50 per acre, with irrigated lands some
