TRUCK GARDENING AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL A 8 OTHER MIXED FARMING BRANCHES* PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.
Track gardening and poultry growing are two branches of agriculture In which the farmers near the main lines of the three transcontinental lines traversing Western Canada are much concerned: The abundance of sunshine during the long days from May to September, and adequate moisture in the spring and early summer permit of a wide variety of crops. The soil is rich and warm and is easily worked. Close attentidn to cultivation has resulted in record yields of all sorts of vegetable and small fruits which tring guod prices in the cittes and at the numerous railway construction camps. Mr. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer, came from South Dakota eleven years ago and homesteaded the first 160 acres in his township in 1902, which was divided between grain and pasture. /He earned sufficient money to buy a quarter section of railway land at |ll an acre. The half section netted proportionate profits and be gradually Increased his holdings, to <9,920 acres, which was devoted to miked farming . last year. He values bis land at SSO an acre. Mr. Oium markets from 100 to 125 hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly pure bred Poland China, 25 i- head draft horses and 35 head of pure bred Hereford cattle. By feeding barley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him 80 cents a bushel, as compared with 40 cents, the average market price when delivered to the warehouse. His average crop of barley is 40 bushels to the acre, while oats av- . erage 80 bushels. By writing any Canadian Government Agent, full particulars as to best districts on which to secure homesteads will be cheerfully given.—Advertisement

Model Boy Found.
William Allen White, the Kansas newspaper man, says that the model boy, so,long sought by all Sunday school superintendents, has been Sound. The discovery was made quite by accident by a baseball fan while Ciscussing with a class of ten-year-old boys, in Sunday school, the question of Sunday amusements. “Now what is there a healthy boy can do on Sunday afternoon?” inquired the fan, blandly, even while his wayward thought dwelt, on the fascinating baseball game. “What do you think, Henry?" Without blinking an eyelid Henry replied, “Read the Bible and pray."— Hearst's Magazine. The man who stands on the promise of God lives in the land of promise.

fore I took your medicine I could j not bear the weight of my clothes and was bloated very badly. I doctored with three doctors but they did me no good. They ,said nature must have its way. My sister advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Now I am stronger than I have been for years and can do all my work, even the washing. Your medicine is worth its weight .in gold. I cannot praise it enough. If more women would taka your medicine there would be more healthy women. Yoh may use this letter for the good of others.”—Mrs. D. JBL Bbown, 809 N. Walnut St, lola,Kan.

Similar Position.
Little Robert was much Interested in the picture of a stork which he saw in a magazine. “Say, mamma,” he asked, “what has become of the bird’s other leg?” “It has raised it up among its feathers,” replied the mother. “That’s funny," the boy observed. "1 thought it was trying to clean its shoe on its stocking like sister Ethel does.”
AS TO FLAVOUR. Found Her Favorite Again.
A bright young lady tells how she came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee:
“My health had been very poor for several years,” she says. “I loved coffee and drank it for breakfast, but only learned by accident, as it, were, that it was the cause of the constant, dreadful headaches from which I suffered every day, and of the nervousness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything I ate gave me acute pain. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.} < “My condition finally got so serious that I was advised by my doctor to go to a hospital. There they gave me what I supposed was coffee, and I thought it was the best I ever drank, but I have since learned it was Postum. I gained rapidly and came home in four weeks. “Somehow the coffee we used at home didn’t taste right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank in the hospital, and all brought back the dreadful headaches and the ’sick-all-over' feeling. “One day I got a package of Postum, and the first taste of it I took, I said that’s the good coffee we had in the hospital.* I have drank it ever since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my breakfast I have no more headaches, and feel better than I have for years." Name given upon request Read the famous little book, “The Road to WelLvllle," in pkgs. “There’s a reason.” Postum now comes in concentrated, powder form, called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level teaspoonful In a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough creanf to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient; there’s no waste; and the flavour is always uniform. Sold by grocers—4s to 50-cent tin 10 pts., 90 to 100-cup tin 50 eta.

COURAGE NEEDED IN SPORTS
In Baseball, Football and Other Games Pluck Is Essential to Success of Player. A recent writer in this paper in commenting on the playing of games made a statement which ought to be set in bigjype and repeated as often as possible. This was to the effect that it takes courage to “play the game,” whatever that may be. A baseball man in a ball game needs to be cool when he stands close to a base reaching for the ball when the runner notorious for his ‘‘spiking” tactics comes sliding in to him feet first. “In any position on any team a football player must have courage. It takes gameness for a runner to crack on all his .speed when he is about to be tackled. It takes courage to dive into a runner and tackle him. It takes courage to hit the line, head first, running low and driving like a battering ram. The player who lacks grit will turn his back and' lose force as he meets the resistance, and be thrown back. i
“It takes a world of courage to tun the route in an Olympic marathon race, and to come reeling in over the last few hundred yards refusing to drop when last resources seem to have been burned out in the long, terrible drive over 26 miles. “Lots of things take courage. Americans have more to be proud of than mere medal and point winning when they look over the performances of their Olympic athletes. Our men are the peers of any in the world.” —Milwaukee Sentinel.
JOE JACKSON ALTERS VIEWS
Two Dollars Per Week Raise Satisfied Star Player at Start of Career — Now Wants SI,OOO. That a baseball player can rise more rapidly in his profession than any other human being is the belief of Ben Smith, partner of Hugh Jennings in vaudeville. While in Cleveland recently Mr. Smith related an incident supporting his belief. “Joe Jackson of the Cleveland club is holding out for a raise of SI,OOO in salary,” said Smith. “When I read that I remembered the incident of Joe Jackson’s first raise in baseball. He was playing with the Greenville, S. C., club six years ago, having been taken out of a sawmill, where he had

been earning $2 a day. The’first time he went to bat as a professional he struck out. He blamed the spiked shoes, and the next time he went to bat in his stocking feet and hit the first ball over the fence for a homer.
“He went aolng after that getting -a home run at least every other day, and the fans were wild about him. One day his pal, a fellow named Kelly, asked Joe what salary he was getting. Joe proudly told him sl6 a week. “‘You’re a big chump,’ said Kelly. ‘Why don’t you hit the boss for more pay? Get to him and tell him you want some real money.* “Joe finally summoned up courage and called upon the boss. He returned to Kelly all smiles. “ ‘Did you get it?’ asked Kelly. “‘Sure,’ boasted Joe. “ ‘Well, what are you drawing now?* “Joe glanced around to make sure no one was within hearing, leaned toward Kelly and in a stage whisper announced: ‘Eighteen.’”
State to Select Referees.
The state athletic commission may take upon itself the assignment of referees for all boxing bouts in New York. The plan has already come up at meetings ot the commission and received favorable Action. It is proposed to reduce the official list of referees, of whom there are now more than sixty holding licenses, to fully ene-half the number, and to have the latter not only assigned to duty by the commission, but wholly responsible to it rather than to dub owners, as is the case.
Europeans Aroused.
Foreigners are going to see that the Unted States athletic representatives 4o not run away with Olympic championships as they have done since the establishment of International con> peltlon. James BL Sullivan, United States Olympic commissioner, has received word that preparations for the games at Berlin In 1916 have been started by all European countries.
Unpacked Grapes Go to the Poor. A curious old law, which dates from 1779, has been used to sentence the owner of a vineyard at Capestang, near Boziers v France, to .a fin* and. costs for picking her own grapes. She was picking the grapes which had been left on the vines in her vineyard after .the fall gathering, when the policeman told her that she was committing an offense against the law, as all grapes left on the vines after the harvest were the property of the poor. The court at Beelers confirmed the policeman’s opinion, and the woman was convicted.
CHILO’S FACE ALL RED SPOTS
632 N. sth St, Terre Haute, Ind.— "My little nephew, a boy of lour years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first,then He would'rub and scratch and water blitters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret His mother got some medicine, but It did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong soap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The little blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had hfs face washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and in a short time his little face was all rpd and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got as well and it did not leave a scar. He was entirely cured in about one week and. a half.” (Signed) Mrs. Arthur Haworth, Jan. 10, 1912. Cuticura Soap, and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

Willie Discovered a New Game.
They had lived in a flat all of Willie’s short life, so that the little boy’s knoweldge of fauna and flora was limited to canary birds and flower boxes; and when they went to board in the suburb where there was a large yard, Willie very enthusiastically started in pursuit of a chicken, armed with a stick and other missiles. When the hostess protested to his mother, she turned from the window and said, indulgently: “You’ll have to forgive dear Willie —he doesn’t know that’s a chicken.
