HAD A CAPITAL OF s4OO
In Six Years He Was Well off

An Alberta farmer, who had bor~
rowed from a loan company, In re-
mltting to them the last payment on
his mortgage, decided to give them the
history of his experience, on Mani"
toba farm. II was that of many anoth-
er farmer, and for the benefit OF those
who contemplate change the liberty
Is taken OF reproducing 1t.
II will give you here brief sum-
mary of my experience since coming
here six years ago. I was a new hand
at farming, my trade being meat-cut-
ting and butchering. My capital was
$400, which was a first payment on
my quarter section (160 acres). Most
Of my stock, harness, implements, etc.,
were bought at sales, all ION time"
necessarily. The buildings on the place
were about as good as nothing and had
either to be rebuilt or replaced entirely.
There were 20 acres broken, and very
badly farmed, bringing poor returns
the first year." After mentioning
number Of mischances, he says: I'm
spite of all these drawbacks, / have
done well. consider my farm worth
$500 to $4,000. have four head OF
horses, IL of cattle, over 400 purebred
Buff orpington chickens and 125 tur-
keys, besides implements, harness, etc.
to run my place. l have a well 10
feet deep with an inexhaustible supply
Of water. The we'll with pump cost
me $400. I 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,
raise about ten acres of garden and
roots annually which net from 5000 to
$1,000 total. generally sell from
20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings
from So to $14 per ton. My grain is
most all used on the farm except a
few hundred bushels sold to the neigh
bors for seed. My four milk cows bring
in from $50 to $50 each Counting calf.
Last year so hens laid 800 dozen eggs
which averaged more than 25 cents a
dozen Il always work for winter egg
production). The surplus hens were
sold in spring, dressed at 81 each. My
turkeys average $3.50 each in fall. BY
having vegetables to feed my young
cattle, the two-year-old steers bring
S75 each in spring. advertisement.

BELIEVED IN SAFETY FIRST
Customer Didn't Care 10 Enter Into
Any Argument With Barber Who
Was Shaving Him.

Seating himself In the end chair the
fat plumber said 10 the barber:
"Thnt's some car standing out In
front there; who is the ownerY
With n surrepdtlous wink at the
waiting customers the barber replied
nonchalantiy:
"oh, that's just new boat l
bought"
"How much is II worthl"
"only about $1,000"
The plumber softly whlstled.
~ have been wanting to see you for
some time" the barber remarked.
"What for2'
"About some repairs"
"What repalrs?"
"How much would II cost me to Ak

"About $40"

what you want DONE"
This brought q laugh from the other
BARRIERS and waiting patrons.
"Gosh! First he says $40 and then
he wants to know what is to be doneW
the head barber calculated.
Just as the fat plumber was leaving
the chair a prosperous looking man
came to the front of the shop, got into
the big touring car, and drove rapidly
away.
"Ha, ha," the head barber laughed,

"Then why didn't you hand me an

Great Walkers.

Charles Dickens was a great walk
er. Twelve, fifteen and even twenty
miles a day were none too much for
Dickens" Sir Walter Scott, too, walked
400 or 80 miles without fatigue, not
withstanding his limp" Browning,
when past seventy, could take long
walks, and Wordsworth could walk
20 miles a day after he had passed
sixty years of age.
De Quincy considered IA miles a
day necessary for his health, and
Lamb, Notwithstanding his almost
immaterial legs" could walk well.
Beethoven always took his daily walks
of five or more miles in all manner of
weathers, while Turner Travelled 20
miles a day, sketching as he walked.
Herbert Spencer, at thirteen, in
fit of inconsistencies, walked 4S miles
one day and AZ the next; and it is
claimed that Tolstoi. at fifty-five,
walked 130 miles in three days.

The Memory.

The memory is very useful thing
when it works right, but it often
seems to be out Of repair. Frequent
ly it works like a carpet sweeper,
picking up things no one has any
mortal use for and passing over 9th
ers of great value. The memory can
be trained and a trained memory is
more valuable than trained nurse or
a trained SEAL New Jersey man
several years ago declared that he had
a perfect memory and every one be-
lieved him till a clever person asked
him to sing all the words of Columbia
the Gem of the Ocean," A faulty
memory is very much like nose
bleed. 1t can be cured for the while
by putting brown paper under the lip
or tying a string tightly about the
finger.

Fishinu by Telephone.

A strange way of discovering the
whereabouts of fish Is practlced In
some parts or Norway, and the method
was discovered by a clever Norwegian.
A microphone, which is an instrument
that will transmit the slightest sound,
is lowered into the water from fish
ing boat and a wire from the micro
phone is attached to a telephone fixed
in the boat. The operator takes the
receiver of the telephone and places
it to his ear, ready to signal to the
fishermen when he hears the least
sound beneath the waters, and the
fishing boat is then Immediately
steered in the direction whence the
sounds come. The result is-a splen-
did haul.
AS cod herring, and mackerel swim
in enormous shoals, their passage
through the water causes a rushing
sound which is clearly heard by the
fishermen, who Immediately steer in
the required direction and let down
their nets.

whx PatrIarchs Lived Lonaer.

The real reason why the patriarchs
lived longer than we do now was be-
cause in those days the fount of hu-
manity was fresher, says a writer.
While immunity to certain diseases
has been handed down to us by our
parents we have also received the
weakened vitality which was theirs as
a result of their fight against disease.
Sooner or later the race will become
immune to tuberculosis, but with that
immunity will come the diminished
power as a result of mankind's long
fight against the white plague.

New YOrk.-The free city employ

RUSSIAN REVOLUTION. is LAID TO
PRO-GERMAN TREASON AT COURT
Dawning Of New Russia Seen the Result of Shaking Off of
Rule Of the RomanOfs-Duma'S Long Struggle for Liberty
Meets With SuCcesS-RaSpuin, the "Mad Monk"
Blamed for Fall of the Gar.

Ihe first parliament was direct
outcome Of the revolution Of 1905
which followed the war with Japan
The czar found himself confronted
win an almost solid body of liberals
The duma of 1905, the most radical
OF all, insisted upon the czar's livlnp
up to the promises of his manifesto
granting freedom to Russia. But the
czar's premier, Stolypln, would not
countenance any interference on the
part OF the duma in government af.
fairs. This led to the dissolution of
the first Russian parliament.
The second duma was convened
early In 1907. The government did
It's best to secure a large number of
reactionaries in 1t. But the great
majority of the new deputies were
still too progressive for Stolypin.
Clashes soon followed. The govern
ment arrested number of deputies
and eXiled them to Siberia. The duma
was then dissolved.
The duma made an unsuccessful at
tempt at revolution. More than n
hundred deputies left Petrograd for
Finland. Then an appeal was issued
TO the nation to stand up for the
duma. The appeal, however, met with
little response. The people were en-
tirely under the control of the military
and the government.
A new election law was then pro-
mulgated by Premier Stolypin. This
law barred most of the people from
participation in the elections.
War Makes Changes.
The third duma was then assembled
and the government found a majority
Of conservatives in 1t. These con-
servatives were satisfied to let things
alone. At the expiration of its term
in 1912 fourth duma, the present
body, was convened. Before the war
1t was entirely controlled by the con-
servatives. The war, however, has
made these conservatives progressives.
The Taurida palace, the house
where the Russian duma meets, has
become the birthplace of the new pro-
visional government, and is one of the
most interesting structures in Rus
sla. On It's site more than a century
and quarter ago stood the house of
Prince Potemkin, the favorite of Cath
crime the Great. The generous en-
press showered presents upon Potem-
kin after his conquest of Crimea for
Russia. In 1888 she ordered mag
niticent palace erected for her favor
