cHoPPiNG SuET

When chopping suet for buildings
or any other purpose, it is a good plan
to sprinkle a little ground rice over
the suet before beginning to chop it.
This generally prevents the suet from
sticking TO the knife and simplifies
matters considerably. 49,.

BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD
Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads
at One Trip, Instead Of One Load
at Two Trips.

Reduced to simple terms, a concrete
road helps the farmer haul two loads
at one trip instead of one loan at
two trips; or, 1t doubles the size Of
the load and cuts In two the tractive
power necessary to transport. farm
produce. With less capital tied up in
horses there Is more cash to put into
equipment to produce more cash. The
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses and lengthens their lives. It
reduces wear on wagons and harness.
Where motortrucks are used it less
ems tire and fuel expense. 1t puts
the farmer in state of preparedness
to reach markets quickly when prices
are best, and he can take his profits
and get home with more cash than he
could by slow hauling on bad road.
1t adds to the acreage value of farm
because it increases its earning pos
sibilities. A concrete road makes all
Of these advantages permanent, bring
Ing its toll Of profit to the farmer
daily in the form OF time, money and
effort saved.

II the company has not been formed
by squads, the first sergeant effects

OFF" At this, the squads successfully
count off as in the school of the squad.
But when by this process the position
of No. in the front rank of squad Is
established, the corporal assumes 1t,
exchanging whatever man 1t is neces-
sary to dlsplace.
The captain, in advance of receiving
the report of the first sergeant, places
himself II PAGES in front of the center
of the company. He returns the salute
Of the first sergeant, and then draws
their posts behind the company, to the
rear of the right and left guides, when
the first sergeant has reported, draw
their sabers with the captain.
The alignments of the company are
executed as prescribed in the school
of the squad. The guide, however, Is
established instead of being the flank
file. The rear-rank man of the flank
file keeps his head and eyes to the
front and covers his file leader.
The company executes the "halt,
rests, facings, steps and marchings,
manual of arms, loadings and firings,
takes intervals and distances and as
sembles, increases and diminishes in-
tervals, resumes attention, obliques, re-
sumes the direct march and preserves
alignments," as set forth in the school
Of the soldier and the school of the
squad. The difference Is that the
word company" is substituted in com
mands for squad"
The practical value of the instruc-
der receives in the school of the
squad now begins to dawn upon him.

SOLD SHOTGUN
FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $4,000.

Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatche-
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what 1t
Is to be in tight pinches. They perse-
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they Travelled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. 1t was
In 1905 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell shotgun for ten dol
lars In order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says.
"Since that time we have acquired
altogether section and half of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of section. II we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $4,000, and have made
all this since we came here. We get
crops In this district of from 80 to
30 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have LOO
sheep, 20 cattle and 60 horses, of which
number are registered Clydes."
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homes, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and autOmo-
biles. Speaking Of automobiles 1t will
be revelation to the reader to learn
that during the first half of 1917, 49,
600 automobile licenses were issued In
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1915. In Saskatchewan, 21,O00 II.
censes were issued up to the first of
way, lolt. III us llOntHiy DulleC1u IOr
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West in the following:
"Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years Of
high prices for his products have en-
abled him, even with normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
Of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected In the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. II is no doubt
true that some extravaganza is evil
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars. but 1t must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economic
both time and labor. "-Advertlsement
