WESTERN CANADA'S GRAIN CROP FOR 1914

THE wheat crop alone will BE WORTH UPWARDS OF i ONE HUNDRED MIL- . LION DOLLARS. The yield of wheat in Western Canada for 1914 is now safely estimated at 135 million bushels. This is not as large as in 1913 but for yarious reasons will net the farmer considerably more money. Had it not been for drought that struck some portions of Southern Alberta and Southwestern Saskatchewan, shortly after seeding, there would have been a phenomenal crop and with present prices there would have been a year of unprecedented prosperity. In a large district of the country the crops are

fully up to the average. The portions referred to had ample rainfall and blessed with conditions that put them into a more enviable condition than the districts first referred to. Fortunately in most places where lack of precipitation prevented harvesting a good crop this year, this is the first of a number of years that it has happened, and the farmers are in a position to-withstand a partial failure. Throughout all of Manitoba, Central Saskatchewan and the largest •portion of Alberta conditions are good. The raising of cattle, sheep and hogs Is now playing an important part in the success of the Western Canada Farmer. From these, and the product of the dairy and the creaming, he is placing himself in an excellent financial position. It Is expected that during 1915 the acreage sown to grains of all kinds will be largely in excess of all previous years. In the districts that had not the crop that others had, there is no disheartedness, but embracing the opportunity to get their land ready in good time, and pursuing more definite methods

of conserving the moisture, the farmers .are now busily engaged in preparing larger areas for wheat, oats, barley and flax, and in this way very much will be added to the large acreage placed in crop in 1913. There are none that take any comfort out of the war in Europe because it will mein increased prices for everything they can raise, but they propose taking advantage of the opportunity that is afforded. Western Canada is the recognized grain field of the world, and will be so for all time. Looking into the future, thousands of Americans are now contemplating joining the band of Western Canada grain growers and they are wise in doing so, for they can secure the best of land in good localities, convenient to market, at from sls to S2O per acre if purchased from railway or land companies, or they can still get homesteads within reasonable distance of railways by making entry for them. The American settler is always Welcome, and he will find in almost any district in which he cares to' locate, scores of American settlers, who art doing well, and few, if any, •ver prove a failure.

cial rates given to the settlers on the railways for both himself and his effects. - ys, The natural resources of the country are so vast that they cannot be told in mere figures. .Man can only tell of what tiny portions have done. He can only say “I am more prosperous than I ever expected to be.” And yet if a farmer expects to succeed on land that he has been forced to pay SSO to SIOO an acre for, lie ought to feel assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his disposal absolutely free. If he has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements —he will find himself ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe. But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the difficulties he encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made up of two things, natural resources and human labor. Canada has the one and you have the other. _

You want a coxy home, a free life, and sufficient Income. You want education for your children, and some pleasure for your wife. You want independence. Your burden has been heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. You work hard and are discouraged. You require a change. There is a goal within sight, where your children will have advantages. You can get a home in Western Canada and freedom, where your ambitions can be fulfilled. If the Prairie Provinces are full of Successful Farmers, why should you prove the exception? Haven’t you got brains, experience, courage? Then prove what these are capable of when put on trial. It is encouraging to know that there is one country in the world where poverty is no barrier to wealth! Besides the grains spoken of, all kinds of grasses do well In Western Canada. At one of the fairs held a short time ago the writer saw no less than eighty varieties of wild grass. Of the cultivated grasses, Alfalfa gives* a splendid yield, and although not yet generally grown, it will soon become

universal. At a recent contest of fields sown not later than June, 1912, there were prizes awarded in all districts in Saskatchewan. The quality was' excellent In Alberta it will soon become the popular feed. In Manitoba the growing of alfalfa is quite successful, and many farmers are now preparing land for it Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, on his return from a trip to Western Canada, furnishes the following contribution: "I’ll dream again of fields of grain that stretch from sky to sky, And the" little prairie hamlets, where the cars go roaring by, Wooden hamlets as I saw them —noble . cities still to be To girdle stately Canada with gems from sea to sea; Mother of a mighty manhood, Land of glamour and of hope, From the eastward sea-swept Islands to the sunny Western slope.” It is the Inspiration that led Sir Conan Doyle to pen tfle above that has led the many Americans that are now in Western Canada to make their home there. —Advertisement.

MEANT FOR THE FALL

JAUNTY BOLERO SUIT THAT IS SURE TO BE POPULAR. Makes Splendid Street Costume or ln Suitable Materials Will Be Most Serviceable for Wear in the Afternoon. Even the tailor-made costumes are more or less elaborate, for the simplest of them is cut in some complicated fashion. The long Jackets, frith basques having a movement “en forme” and cht on the bias, are very new. They are worn with waistcoats of white satin or fancy brocade, which fasten with odd little buttons. Fashion, however, is becoming more and more eclectic every day, so it is also possible to see the quite short jacket on the bolero order, whose general effect is completed by a tunic skirt, making it took like a long jacket This gives a very youthful effect. The idea is interestingly explotted in the model here shown, which is developed in Saxe blue Deauville cloth and black taffeta. The jacket, in the form of a little bolero, has a soutache trimming in self-color appearing in a narrow border around the neck and sleeve ends, but spreading out over the front edge in a larger motif. The peplumlike pieces that are hung over dither hip are also trimmed with soutache. There is a deep girdle of black taffeta tied in a bow at the front, and above this a shallow bib running off to nothing at either side. Then the sleeves are oddly lengthened on the outside, covering the elbow, with a fold of taffeta. The, guimpe may be of white net or chiffon, is crossed over the bust between the jacket edges, and given an upstanding collar of batiste. Both tunic flounces are laid In folds and are quite straight and plain. The

ROUND SHOULDERS A DEFECT

Exercise of Wilf About the Best Method of Prevention—Condition Is Seldom Outgrown. The general appearance of one afflicted with round shoulders and flat chest is quite familiar to> the observer. The head projects forward, the shoulders droop and the chest is narrow and flat The shoulder blades stick out prominently and the abdomen protrudes. Children with round shoulders are as a rule below the average in muscular development and lack vigor, are clumsy in their movements and walk heavily. . There are three kinds of round shoulders—the ordinary round back, the round hollow back and the round back due to forward displacement of the shoulders. During the years( of growth, posture will usually take care of itself, if constant changes are allowed. Change is instinctive and automatic in the child and the varied activities are sufficient to lead it along normal lines. If from inherent weakness or confinement of school life without the 'relief of games and play, this normal development be hindered, the result will soon show in the spine. The causes of round shoulders are those general conditions which produce muscular or. constitutional weakness, like rapid growth, overwork, bad air in schools or the home, acute illness, unhygienic surroundings, or general lack of exercise. It is probable that a weakness of the will is a more important cause than weakness of the muscles. Round shoulders are not likely to be outgrown, as the victims usually

SIMPLE FROCK OF TUB SILK

One of the Most Acceptable Garments of the Beason Is Pictured for Qur Readers.

This is a simple little frock of tub silk in a delicate shade of violet. The deep collar with points over the shoulder is of white silk, so also are the sleeve ruffles headed by a plaiting of purple silk. The tunic which hangs from the hip yoke is full and long and is joined to the yoke with a heading of the plaited purple silk. The yoke and tunic are of the violet silk hung over an underskirt of white. The front by knotted ribbon of purple satin. The satin ribbon is also used for the girdle.

CARE OF SHOULDER SCARFS

Favorite Accessory of the Moment That Needs to Be Most Care- ‘ fully Dealt With. The favorite shoulder scarfs that are so for slipping on chilly summer evenings need to be drycleaned if they are in the satin variety. Those of silk, however, can be washed in the manner directed below, for they are quite easy to wash. The chiffon should be put into" a bowl of moderately warm soapsuds and gently pressed and squeezed until the dirt is out. Rinse through clean tepid water to remove the soap, then rinse through tepid water to which has been added a teaspoonful of liquid ammonia. Press out as much of the water as possible, then lay the scarf flat between two long towels, and very quickly jpress with a hot iron.

Silk Shirts.

To launder silk shirts which have the tucked bosom that cannot be ironed proceed as follows: After washing the shirt wring and fold in a Turkish towel, roll up solid and let it lie a while. Then irpn the shirt except the bosom, which you place over a bosom board and pin firmly to it and place where it will dry, and it will look as good as new.

FRIEND OF THE TRAVELER

Rucksacke Has Many Advantages Over the Always Popular Knapsack. What is a rucksacke? According to Outing it is a bag made of denim, or heavy cloth. It has one or two pockets on the back, tn which books or articles frequently required by the tourist are readily accessible. The top is fastened by a cord, so the rucksacke, filled with a couple of suits' of underwear, toilet articles and the like, resembles a meal sack, except tn color. Most of those sold in Europe are green, harmonizing with the landscape. But khaki is suitable in color and material. The rucksacke has a number of advantages over its cousin, the knapsack. It is easier to get at, for one thing. It is not necessary to unfasten any straps to open the rucksacke. Untying the string around the top by pulling one free end of a bowknot enables the tourist to select anything contained therein in a jiffy.

Schoolgirl's Hair.

The fashion of bobbing the. hair is not quite as popular as it was, although for a really practical and becoming way of wearing the hair short it Is unrivaled. - The small girl now wears her hair long, whether it ia straight or curly, and tied with a big ribbon bow at the back of the head. Such a bow takes a yard and a quar* ter of sfx-lnch taffeta ribbon.

ECZEMA ON CHILD’S BODY

6TO High St, O.bko.h, Wlß.—"When about two months old my nephew had sores break out on different parts of his body. The trouble first began as a raeh which itched so at night someone always held his hands, even while sleeping, as at the least scratching it would run together and form scabs. His night-clothes had to have mittens on them or the scabs would be raw! and bleeding by morning. His clothing or the least friction Irritated the trouble. His face and scalp were covered. They called it eczema. “We tried different treatments but none cured him. At three years old we commenced the use of Cutlcura Soap and Ointment.
