T7ZSTERIX CANADA'S CHOP YIELD FOB 1903 WAS SPLENDID.

Americans Proflted Largely anil Send Back Satisfactory Reports. The census branch of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, has completed its returns of the showing of , Western Canada's grain yield for 1908, and the report makes very interesting reading. In the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may he kno-.vn as Central Canada, there was a total wheat yield of about 107,000,000 bushels, worth to the farmers about ?ST.C00.C00; ia addition to this the oat, barley and flax crops were worth another ?35,CO0,000. Letters have recently been received from many of the settlers from the United States. From these, that of Rev. Oscar L. Kins has been selected. He lives in the vicinity of Edmonton, Alberta, and what he says will be of Interest to those who contemplate moving to Central Can ada. Every line of the letters is interesting. Those who wish for further particulars as to how to secure homesteads and pre-emptions, should write any Canadian Government agent. Mr. King says : I am well satisfied -with Alberta. This country offers excellent opportunities for anyone to make a good home for himself and family if he is willing to put up with a few hard knocks for the first two or three years. Hut it is worth a few hard knocks to get a 100acre farm of rich productive land with no mortgage on it. This province is well fitted for grains, stock raising and dairying. We have found the climate generally healthful, more healthful than Michigan, and although the thermometer sometimes drops to 40 degrees below zero in winter, yet we do not seem to feel that temperature any more than we did 5 or 10 degrees below zero In Michigan. We like the winters. The Government takes great Interest in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in establishing schools where they are called for. The schools though graded differently than those In the States are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadoquate railway facilities, but new roada are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta Government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new 6ettlens who have to go back a considerable distance from existing railroads and towns to find free homesteads will but locate along the lino of a projected railroad they will In two r three years be near both town and railroad. When I first came to this country three and a half years ago the homestead I took up was 73 miles from a railroad town, now there is a railroad 25 miles north, another Zj miles south and a third is being built through my neighborhood. I think the prairie country or country that is partly prairie offers much bette opportunities than the prairie portions. Perfume Uae2 by Royalty. Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has daily a pint of eau de cologne in her morning bath ; Queen Victoria of Spain affects a mixture of iris and lavender on her handkerchiefs; Queen Helena of Italy prefers iris and heliotrope; the Dowager Queen of Italy and Queen Amelia of Fortugal are devotees of sweet violets, but the Empress of Russia leads the way, as she spends no less than $10,000 a year on perfumery In Paris alone. In respect of violets ic requires that they shall be plucked iust at sunset.

If it Is comfortable j-ou will got work out of the team to the best advantage. If there are any young colts running about in the stable, be sure you hang the harness out of their reach. Oil meal or ground flax seed makes a. splendid ration to overcome a tendency to constipation in the horse. Nervous and bad tcmiered horses have been tamed by feeding sugar. Many instance of this are on record. In hreodin.?. defects are peculiarly persistent and are more easily stamped on the next feneration than are Rood qualities. Oats and bran, half and half ty measure. Is the best grain ration for the stallion In season, according to au experienced horseman. Pijrs will eat ordinary slop with relish. It is poHl for them because it supplies certain elements which are not found in the ordinary rations. A ration made of corn, shorts and tankage makes au ideal ration. The proportion should bo five parts of corn, five parts shorts, and one part tankage. A hen can stand considerable cold, but will quickly succumb to drafts. To keep her comfortable she must be made to exercise and this is best done by keeping the floor of the scratching shed or the regular pen heavily littered and grain thrown among It. i Modern t'aea oC Corn. People often wonder, particularly those who have traveled for hundreds of miles through the orn lelt, what Incomes of rorn which is crown every year. In the year when the tota! crop was 2.000. J00,C(X) bushels, 241,000.000 bushels were consumed in flour and grist-mill products, 8,000,000 bushels in the manufacture of starch. 9,000,000 for malt liquors, 17,O00.f) bushels iu the production of distilled liquors, 40,000,000 for glucose, 190,000,000 for export apd 13,000,000 for seed, making a total of 51.8.000,000 bushels or 10.3 per cent of the entire crop. The remaining S0.7 per cent, or 2.148.000,000 bcshels, seems to ha been almost entirely for feeding pur poses. It is an interesting fact that about SO per cent of the corn crop, roughly the above amount, was shipped out of the counties in which it was grown. Corn Ilcporter. Discover Xew Kairui Producta. After a quest for new varieties of alfalfn and clover in which he covered much of Iiussii, Siberia, Central Asia, Turkestan and Northern Africa. N. E. Hanson, the agricultural explorer, has returned with more than ,i lots of Feeds and plants to be ussl by the agricultural department in ex perimental work. Prof. Hanson on previous trips discovered alfalfa and clover that thrived amazingly in the west where before the plants would not g ow at all. lie also introduced ir. the J orthwest a Siltoriaii alfalfa that is bdleved to ltf the hardiest of the Proteid plants and endures the most severe cold. Professor Hanson has fouud two more varieties of this northern plant, which grow in a section of Siberia where the mercury freezes and where there Is no snow. The department of agriculture will conduct experiments with the newest plants that have bceu discovered in several of the northwestern States, and the results will r watched with great interest. et A 1mo t ra 1 1 ry. Kep your heus warm, well watered and fed. Eggs are the drawing cards at this time of the year. Keep your laying bens from rough or raw weather. Are you aware that the laxy hen is never a lajing hen? Eggs are profitable if bens are housed and fed intelligently. The hopper method of feeding is a success with some varieties. Laying hens that are coufluc-d during the cold days must have meat. Never, under any circumstances, keep the feed before the fowls constantly. The American and Asiatic breeds will do better if fed at regular intervals. You will quickly notice a falling ofi' in eggs when hens are allowed to run out in the cold snow. Line your house with tarred pajHT. Cracks are roup producers. A sick fowl is worse than none at all. Fit up your breeding pons early. Kemember that early hatches develop and make the most valuable birds. Feeding is a puzzling problem to the majority of amaturs. Feed a variety. only just what they will rat, and you have solved the problem. See that your roost poles are low. While corn Is high see that every fowl is paying a .profit. If she is not profitable, dispose of her at once. Streichln Fence. The first thing to do in building a strong woven wire fence is to set all the posts deep, tamp the earth firmly around and strongly brace the end suplorting posts. The best stay for an end post is the anchor guy. This is made by digging a hole four or live feet away from the post In a straight line with the fem-e, two or three feet deep, and placing in this hole a rock, old iron wheel or piece of durable wood. To the stone, Iron or wood anchor, and to the top of the xst or near the top is fastened a double No. I wire. The anchor is then solidly covered with earth and the wile twisted with a lever until it is tight and slightly pulling on the post. The farther out from the base of the post the anchor is buried the greater pulling power it will have. Also a No. 0 wire will be stronger and last longer than N'o. 9 wire. If the anchor guy wire will .ie in the way when fastened to the end post, It can be fastened to next to the

rV VI I JM1 hit y,sV

end poss and the end post braced from it. In climates in which the ground freezes to the depth of several inches fences can be built to advantage in midwinter. Set the posts and anchors and allow them to become solidly frozen and the iosts in rigid jHjsition: stretch the wire fencing and staple every wire to every ost. Some fence builders staple only two or throe of the horizontal wires to each port, but such is poor economy of time and material. The cost of a few pounds of extra staples and an hour or two of work in a forty rod fence will save many dollars and days of work in the end. P.y stretching the wire fencing when the posts are immovable in the ground no portion of the wire can pull a pot out of position. By the time the ;round thaws out and becomes soft the wire will have settled in position and each post will Ik? bearing an equal strain. If the string of fence is very long more than forty rods it is well to brace one or more intermediate posts. This will prevent (he fence from giv ing and becoming loose when it is put under heavy strain by persons climbing over it or animals pressing against it. A woven wire fence is good if it can be kept tight all the time; if not, it is nearly worthless. Where in I'lace the Incnbafor. As to the location of the incubator Do not place it in a room where it will be between two windows where a draft is likely to blow across it. The machine should not be located where the sun ran fall across It or strike the :loor too close to it. The effect of the sun upon the machine is rather peculiar, and while the temperature in the room may not seera to rise, the sun will cause the egj chamber to heat more rapidly thar might be supposed, thereby interfer ing with the adjustments of the regu lator. lo not locate the machine in a nortb or west room, unless it is impossible to find another place. A south or east room is far more satisfactory. The Incubator should I where there is fireball the time or it should be ir i room where there is no lire at all If the machine is placed iu a rooai .vhere there fs no fire it should be :orne in mind that the eggs ean not e cooled in a temperature lower thai1 tf degrees for any length of time with out chilling the eggs.

Atcrlculturavl Developuieat. No one factor has contributed more toward modern agricultural expauslor than farm machinery. At the begin hing of the nineteenth century there were approximately 1,XX,000 farms it the United States, and t(-day there are G.OW.OOo. A century ago the pro duction of wheat averaged four and one-third bushels er capita of Hit iopulation, and to-day the product lot of wheat will average ten bushels pei capita. A hundred years ago there A-ere no steel plows, grain drills, liar vesters or steam threshing machines, and farm work was the heaviest kind f drudgery. When all the agricultural ojieratlons .vere performed by manual labor then was no wonder that the sons of farmers sought other occupations beside tilling the soil. The grain was sowt broadcast by hand, as In the day. when Moses presided over the agricul lure of Egypt. To the farmer of five .:core years ago there was no interva. of rest, as every function ot the farm called for physical strength and ardu ous work. The grain that was sowi; by hand was harvested with the sickle or later with the cradle. It wat stored in the barn ami threshed by Jails and cleaned by tossiug it into the .vind, which separated the wheat fronthe chalT. The farmer ,rew but a small surplus ver his urgtMit necessities, as his time was too circumscribed to till land for commercial crops. If one looks on the hard and labor ious operations of primitive agriculture and contrasts condlt -ous on th. farm to-day with the environments of the farm a century ago, h will mar vel at the transition. With less than 1 per cent of t lit? jopulatioii massed in cities it lwcainc necessary to imiorl wheat from Europe fur domestic eon sumption. When the population was only 4,000.000 and over J) jkt cent of the pimple res hied on farms, agricultural products were inadequate tot maintenance of the inhabitant;., while to-day, with a population of N7,00,OoOthere is a surplus production' f l.'iO,000,(0) to :;00,X)0,()M bushels of wheat iiiiiiially for export. This achievement is consummated with 70 per cent ol Ihe people living in cities. What lias wrought this marvelous transition in agriculture? The answei can only be modern machinery and scientific methods of fanning. strenuous drudgery has been raised tc ;i national industry, and is destined tc take rank as the leading profession As an industry it embraces one-thin: of the population, and as a profession it is equipped with a university and e.ieriii!ent station in every common wealth of the nation. If there an law and medical colleges to efjuip men for professions, so also there are universities to teach farmers scientific agriculture. Fnder the insp ration of scientific knowledge of all branches of fanning the agriculture of the futurt will surpass In production the achievements of to-day. Goodall's Farmer.

MAKING OF INDIA INK.

Highly Gammed Fluid la In Almost UniTernal l'e In Aula. "Artists, photographers and draughtsmen who use India ink in their work often find that instead of an Intense black, as it ought to be, it is frequently a disagreeable brown, which impairs the quality and sometimes destroys the effect of their sketches. "The reason is found in the circumstances under which the India Ink Is made," says a local photographer in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. "India Ink is in general use all over Asia ; In fact, except in the government offices of India and French Cochin China, no other writing fluid Is used. The writ ing is generally done either with a small brush or reed pen. The ink is highly gummed, .so that it stands out in relief on the paier or parchment; 110 acid will affect it, and it can be removed only by a vigorous use of the seipiier. "In both India -and China there are thousands of people who manufacture the Ink as a side line to their regular business, working at it in the winter, at night and on days when they are not otherwise employed. It Is made by burning some kind of oil in a lamp witb a very long chimney, usually made in joints which cau be taken apart, foi r.Ant I .... I i1iinntn Iii tTl41 soot which makes the ink.

In fiction the John Lane Company aave an Important volume. That is a collection of short stories written by the lite Frank Norris. "The Thirc L'ircle" is the name of the book, whict vill contain many tales not aecessibU elsewhere. Mme. Melba, In a recent interview published in England, affirmed her be Uef in the woman's vote and in the fact that woman's freedom will not rob her of her woman's love of home 'When the wider liook of life lies oper before her," she says, ."woman wili surely find the bonds of home 1 iff drawing more tightly round her. Tht greater use of her brain will spirit ualize woman." Novelists must be taken on their pas--performances. Hence one hears re BIectfu!ly of Judge Robert Grant'! prlng book. "The Chippendales." lit will probably have been acute and considerate in this study of the In vasion of Erahmln Eoston by a ruth less, cheerful outsider. Judge Grant is said not only to perceive the won drous unconscious humor of old Eos ton. but also to sympathize with its serious Ideals. This sounds ominous The proper feeling In regard to Bad Eay Is less judicial, more violent Bui we are content to wait for the novel Itself. The publisher's mission being to pro vide entertainment as well as edifica tlon, one looks eagerly for possible Zen das and Cardinal's Snuff-Boxes. It this delectable region of make-believe Invaded so often by the fatuous ane the mercenary there is promised by Charles Serlbner's Sons a romance en titled "The King of Arcadia." by Fran eis Lynde. The Interesting thing aboul this Arcadia is that it is created by a patrician Kentuckian, a supra-patri clan Kentuckian, in the land of ranchcj and cowboys. Imagination is invitee to swing ön the substantial lines ol fact. It is interesting to learn from th recently published letters of the Eron tes that to Charlotte, at the height ol her fame and popularity, dining oul was "hideous" and that she was sei dorn in society without "acute mental pain." The prospect of a tea party made her ill with "apprehensions." AU of which throws new light on Lady Ritchie's account of that party at hei father's house when there was broughl In "a tiny, delicate, serious little lady, pale, with fair, straight hair and steady eyes. She enters In mittens, in si lence, in seriousness; our hearts are beating with wild excitement." And at the same time the figure's of "the great Jane Eyre' were trembling un der her mittens and the quiet brow was throbbing with nervous terroi as Thackeray stooied to give her hlj arm. And "every one waited for the brilliant conversation which never began at all." Eye I2xer-Ie. "Have you a high roof?" was the' apparent Irrelevant question put bj the dlstnlguished oculist to the woniar who had complained of having bae eyes. "Higher than the roofs of th surrounding houses?' "Oh, yes." said the woman, "a goot deal higher." 'Then what I want you to do," saic he, "Is to go up there every day anJ look around for half an hour.

What do you want?' the old man asked. 'Why,' said tb? butcher, 'I'll give you a shilling and a joint of meat if you'll kill all the fOes in my shop. 'Al right, said the old man. V.lxo me the shilling first and the meat aft erward.' The butcher handed out the shilling. Then the old nan asked for a stick about a yard long. This was brought him.

William was considered by all his classmates the brightest boy in his grade. Somehow or other the lad managed to learn his lessons with practically no effort. He was certainly to be envied, for he was gifted with such a remarkable brain that by hearing a lesson recited in class once or twice he knew it quite well. ,' At the expiration of the term examinations in various subjects were given by the principal to test on paper the boys' knowledge and to guide him in making promotions. One of the questions asked in the 'geography test was, "What is the equator?" Had this been an oral examination William would no doubt have been counted correct, but In consequence of its being a written one he did not get off so easily.

The Cronchliif Ttcvr ' Now and then a soldier has been found kneeling on the battlefield as if about to take aim at the eaomy, but stone dead. A bullet in the brain had converted him Into a statue of himself. Captain Forsyth In his "Highlands of Central India" tells of a similar effect produced by an explosive shell on a tiger. The captain while In the howdah of his trained elephant hunting a tiger saw the beast crouching under a bush on the bank of a ravine. He took aim and fired a three ounce shell at the tiger's broad forehead. To his surprise, for the distance was but thirty yards, there was no result. Not a motion of the tiger acknowledged the hot He

rode round a quarter of a circle, but still the tiger remained motionless, but looking Intently in the same direction. Growing more and more amazed, the captain rode up nearer with his rifle at full cock, but the tiger did not move, j Then he caused the elephant to kick the beast. The tiger fell over. He was 6tone dead. The shell had struck him full In the center of the forehead, burst in his brain and killed him Instantly. Exchange. What a Woman Will Not Do.

He told the students that the doctor was! a genius at figures, but was not to be looked upon as in the same class with "lightning calculators' who give public exhibitions, becaure Dr. Ruckle appeared before the' students only to demonstrate what well-directed application could accomplish. He began by asking that lOO figures be placed In a row, making one great sum. Then he studied the line for about five nilnute. and in that time memorized the combination so perfectly that be wrote the figures, from first to last and from last to first rapidly and without an error. Difficult problems in cube and square root, interest and compound interest were solved in an incredibly short time, always correctly ud without the aid of paper or pencil. After an exhibition which caused wonder the students applauded vigorously, and the mathematical genius, as a further proof of his remarkable memory, repeated backward the 100 figures which had been given to him when his discourse began.
