FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES
for Many Years Without Modern
Conveniences.

In the American Magazine a farm
ers wife tells of some of her expert
ences. She says:
''My husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were luXuries a generation
ago are necessities now. One Of my
children died Of typhoid fever. the
germs Of which were, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't screen door In the house, and
only few cheap adjustable screens.
"We sleep on feather beds, because
mattresses cost money, and the feather
beds were in the house-a part Of the
furnishings that l married, when took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing, worn
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since Outlived
their usefulness.

was sometimes done that way. we
were in the South Atlantic on that
business. From the time Joined, l
believe I thought Nolan was sort OF
lay chaplain-a chaplain with blue
coat. I never asked about him. Ev-
erything in the ship was strange to
me. I knew it was green to ask ques-
tons, and l suppose I thought there
was q "Plain-ButtOns" on every ship.
We had him to dine in our mess once
q week, and the caution was given that
on that day nothing was to be said
about home. But if they had told us
not to say anything about the planet
Mars or the book Of Deuteronomy, l
should not have asked why; there were
a great many things which seemed to
me to have as little reason. l first
came to understand anything about
"the man without country" one day
when we overhauled a dirty little
schooner which had slaves on board.
An officer was sent to take charge OF
her, and after few minutes he sent
back his boat to ask that someone
might be sent him who could speak
Portuguese. We were all looking over
the rail when the message came, and
we all wished we could interpret, when
the captain asked who spoke Por-
tuguese. But none Of the officers did ;
and Just as the captain was sending
forward to ask if any of the people
could, Nolan stepped out and said he
should be glad to interpret, if the cap
tain wished, as he understood the Ian
guage. The captain thanked him, fit
ted out another boat with him, and in
this boat 1t was my luck to go.
When we got there, it was such a
scene as you seldom see, and never
want to. Nastiness beyond account,
and chaos run loose in the midst of the
nastiness. There were not a great
many of the negroes; but by way
Of making what there were understand
that they were free, Vaughan had had
their handouts and anklecuffs knocked
off, and, for convenience sake, was
putting them upon the rascals Of the
schooner's crew. The negroes were,
most of them, out of the hold, and
swarming all round the dirty deck
with central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every
dialect and patois of dialect, from
the Zulu click up to the Partisan OF
Beledeljereed.
AS we came on deck, Vaughan
looked down from q hOgshead, or
which he had mounted in desperation
and said:
"For Gods love, Is there anybody
who can make these wretches under
stand something? The men gave then
rum, and that did not quiet them.

Western Canada's soil and climate

liable yields of wheat, many so large
that those not acquainted with the
facts hesitate to believe the reports
sent out by the farmers in that coun-
try. AS an evidence of their sincerity
in reporting correct yields affidavits
of couple of grain growers are repro
duced.

Only On. Day to Register.

The war department wishes to I'M
press upon the people that there is
only one day for registration. All
males between the designated ages
must register on the day set. The fact
that five days were allowed for the
placing of the necessary blank forms
in the hands Of registrars appears to
have misled some headline writer's.

and that did not soothe him. And then
l talked Choctaw to all of them to-
gether; and I'll be hanged if they IN
derstood that as we'll as they under
stood the English"
Nolan said he could speak Por-
tuguese, and one or two fine-looking
KroOmen were dragged out, who, as it
had been found already, had worked
for the Portuguese on the coast at
Fernando Pc.
"Tell them they are Free" said
Vaughan; land tell them that these
rascals are to be hanged as soon as
we can get rope enough"
Nolan explained it in such Portu-
guese as the Kroomen could under
stand, and they in turn to such Of the
negroes as could understand them.
Then there was such a yell Of delight,
clinching Of fists, leaping and dancing,
kissing Of Nolan's feet, and general
rush made to the hogshead by way of
spontaneous worship of Vaughan as
the deus ex machina of the occasion.
"Tell them," said Vaughan, well
pleased, "that I will take them all to
Cape Palmas."
This did not answer so well. Cape
Palmas was practically as far from
the homes of most of them as New Or
leans or Rio Janeiro was; that is, they
would be eternally separated from
home there. And their interpreters, as
we could understand, instantly said,
"Ah, non Palmas," and began to pru-
! pose infinite other expedients in most
voluble language. Vaughan was rath-
er disappointed at this result of his
liberality, and asked Nolan eagerly
what they said. The drops stood on
poor Nolan's white forehead as he
hushed the men down, and said:
"He says, Not Palmas.' He says

S. Joseph and Sons of Des Moines,
Ia, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm
them.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines, Ia,
they made selection near Champion,
Alberta. They put 24O acres Of land
in wheat, and in writing to Mr.. Hew-
lit, The Canadian Government Agent
at Des Moines, one Of the members of
the firm says: II have much pleasure
in advising you that on our farm five
miles east Of Champion, in the Prov
ince Of Alberta, Canada. this year
(1916) we harvested and threshed 49,
600 bushels Of wheat from 24O acres,
this being an average Of A bushels
and 10 pounds to the acre. A con-
siderable portion Of the wheat was
No. Northern, worth at Champion,
approximately $1.S5 per bushel, max
Ing a total return of $1,000, or an av-
erage of $81.70 per acre gross yields.
And by aid Of thorough system were
able to keep the cost of growing wheat
at about 25 cents a bushel."
Messrs. Smith & Sons Of Vulcan,
Alberta, are growers of wheat on a
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably in
any other business anywhere. Speak
ing Of their experience Mr.. Smith
says:
II have three sections of land at the
present time and am farming yearly
1000 to 1,4OO acres Of land. MY re-
turns from the farm for the past two
years have been around 2OO%, that is

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry is being made TOT
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need Oh
foodstuffs equal to that OF the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tons history and today the agrlcui-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. Inc
ideal life is that close to nature, ell
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
ity by producing from a fertile SOIL
that which is essential to the very eA-
istence of less fortunate people VINO
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced SO eco
nomically in the United States ana
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undouDt-
ealy, will be maintained for NUMBER
OF years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has Deen'
to a large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Sucn
a wrong impression has been created,
in a measure, by the lack of systema-
;r1n n
general. But today farming and agrl-
culture have been given supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other buSl-
ness does a system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1T is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how II
was made and following up the details
of each branch Of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
q business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; small
per cent on the investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of a sys-
tenn to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-grOwing In
Western Canada.
Mr.. G. A. Wright Of Milo, Iowa,
bought hundred and sixty acres OF
land in Western Canada for $1,000 in
| December, 1915, and took his first crop
from it in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivatfng
it and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushel "a low price
compared with the present markeD,
had surplus Of $2,472.67. His figures
