About three miles from his place OF
business lives Mr.. Jones, and he goes
back and forth every day in his auto

often offer the man "lift."

He stopped his car and said politely:
'Mayn't l give you lift, MADAME"

"Well, jump in," he said; and when
she had climbed in and deposited the
bundle on the seat beside her, they
started on.
After he had covered a mile, Mr.
Jones became u little uneasy; but he
kept on for nearly another mile, and
then turned and said: "Where do you
want to go, madam"
She gave him broad smile and q
gracious nod of the head, and replied
Anywhere you wish it makes no Gif'

A DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof

Mr.. George H. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land In Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation.
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre
These lands are in Il high state of cul-
tivatiOn, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silOs, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share Of
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
35 bushels per acre. This year the
same Quarter-sectiOn, SOwn to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1926 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of l Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,563OS.
Seed, half the twine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow
ing a share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
uuarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is so per cent
of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo H. KertOn, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds OF
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
tell friends down home for yOu"
The reply was: Tell them I shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing In live stock. On his first visit OF
ms, ection to Saskatchewan, he real
ized the opportunity there was here
sfcn grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, we're fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then In the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There Is money
in it."-AdvertiSement.

them under the table.

FAVOR SHARP GARDEN TOOLS
II Hoes, Spades, .Ieeders. Etc, Are
Once in Good Shape It Is Easy
Job to Keep Them So.

When the garden itself is not high
" esteemed, the tools will be poor as
a matter of course. But even people
who think lot of their gardens are
sometimes very careless about the con-
dition of their tools.
The proverb says, eff the iron be
blunt, thsn must be put to it the more
strength" Sharp tools greatly econO-
lnlze strength. Sharp. bright, tools
that are tight to their handles add to
the enjoyment one has in his work.
To have hoe slip readily through
the soil, doing a nice. clean job, con-
tributes to ones self-respect and
makes him proud of the work he is
doing. If the hoes, spades, weeders
and other tools are once put in good
shape, they can easily be kept sharp
by the occasional use of a file; and
with an old kitchen knife the rusty
places can he scraped clean so that
they will soon scour smooth.
By all means furnish the boys with
good sharp tools and show them how
they can be used to best advantage
and kept in order. Nothing so de-
presses a boy and disgusts him with
gardening and farming as to be COM
PEELED TO use dull and unsuitable tools.

Notch Method of Marking.

difficult to make the cut of the right

animal is greatly disfgured. This
system, while causing a slight disfig

and if rightly done the notches are
scarcely noticed. A serious disadyan-
tage, however, is that mistakes in
marking cannot be easily corrected.
To illustrate the use of this method
the following examples are given: No.
