CAP and BELLS HE OBEYED DOCTOR’S ORDERS Ate Five Apple-Cores, Ends of Sixteen Burnt Matches and SeventyEight Boot Buttons. “And how are we fepling today—eh?” asked Dr. Overdose. His patient gave him a pea-green look. “Worse than ever, sir,” he answered gloomily. “It’s no use, doctor. My case is hopeless.” “Come, come! You mustn’t say that ” said Dr. Overdose. “Tell me, what have you been doing since your last visit?” “All you told me, sir. And I’m afraid the diet hasn’t agreed with me.” “That’s nonsense!” exclaimed the doctor. “It can’t possibly have upset you. I told you to confine yourself to such foods as would be taken by an ordinary three-year-old child.” “Yes, and I obeyed your orders to the letter,” groaned the sick man, “During the last 24 hours I’ve eaten five apple-cores, 16 ends of burnt matches, 78 boot buttons and a threepenny bit!” Playing Safe.

MOTHER WORE HOBBLE SKIRT Dressmaker Aroused at Midnight to Release Woman From Mysteries of Her New Gown. The hour was well after midnight and Miss Fitton, the dressmaker, had been In bed quite a long time when she was awakened by a violent knocking on the street door. She sprang up, and on the doorstep discerned a small urchin hammering away at the door. “Hello, there!” she called out angrily. Then the youngster looked up. “If yer please,” he shouted, “you’re wanted at once at No. 14. My mother ” “Go away, you little silly!” broke in Miss Fitton. “You’re at the wrong door; the doctor lives next house but one.” And the window was coming down with a bang when* again his voice assailed her ears, yelling louder than ever: “No, no; it’s you we want.

MORE TOMBOY GIRLS

Professor Advises Physical Training for Young Women. Scott Nearing of University of Pennsylvania Says Emancipation of Women Will Only Come Through “Tomboyism.* Philadelphia.—“ More girls should be ;omboys—only through a physical and industrial development may woman lope to emancipate herself.” This is the theory advanced by Scott Nearing of the faculty of the Wharton school of the University of Pennsylvania, in a book he will publish soon upon “Social Adjustment.” “The city woman’s physical durability," says Mr. Nearing, “is the culmination of a misdirected training begun in pouth. Boys are taught to go out and play rough games and roinp and develop physically. Girls, on the other hand, are expected to stay at home and be ’ladylike.’ If a boy does not soil snd tear his clothes he is a ‘sis.’ If a girl does soil her clothes and romp the is a ‘tomboy.’ It is as disgraceful lor a boy to atrophy physically as it is tor a girl to develop physically. "The development of the girl’s body ihould be begun and carried on at the same time and on the same basis as the development of the boy’s body. Their plays should be equally arduous, antil the age of twelve at least. There Is no justification for denying to girls the physical development provided for boys, making them weaklings before the age when there is any physical differentiation due to sex development. Already this truth is being realized md the emancipated women of the United States are emancipating the bodies of their daughters, by putting them in ‘rompers’ and sending them »ut to play with the boys. "Every normal being should engage in some form of constructive occupation. The woman is no exception, and the education of the woman of the future should include not only effective physical development and an adequate training In self-knowledge, but also a training that will enable her to fill jorne position in life and fill It well. Home life is narrowing and unless supplemented by education leads to the life in ‘social sets’ so disastrous to the levelopment of individuality.” Mr. Nearing adds that there are flvg groups of women who should always be engaged in some form of gainful occupation. He classifies these groups ts follows: “First, girls between the end of their schooling and their marriage. “Second, women who are suffering trqm any transmissible disease or detect should be absolutely denied the privileges of motherhood and should, therefore, spend their adult lives in tome form of Industrial occupation. “In the third place, women who are geniuses— perhaps one in ten thousand —and the social value of whose careers would be lessened by motherhood should continue their chosen vocation. "Fourth, a large group of young wives who during the first two or three years of wifehood have no children should by all means begin or continue some productive occupation, principally, as Doctor Patten has pointed out, because of the addition to the husband’s income, but also for self-devel-ppment. "In the fifth place, women who at middle age send their last child to college or to work and have no exacting duties in the home. "If*woman is to mean all that she

well may mean in the future, she must engage in some form of occupation—if she is capable, in motherhood; if not, then certainly in industry—she must be trained to take her place in the world and to perform her occupation efficiently, and she must realize that occupation and achievement and character are a triune which complement each other and make for the highest and best in life.” WANTS THOUSANDS OF CATS Rancher In State of Washington Will Use Th&m In Ridding His Orchards of Pests. Spokane, Wash. —Albert J. Randall, a rancher of Okanogan county, Wash., who recently placed an order for 1,000 cats with 8. S. Gilbert of Sharon, Pa., is receiving his mail in barrels at Conconully these days. The writers, who represent practically every state and province in America, say they will supply all the cats needed if Randall will pay the express and cartage charges. Randall has taken up the work on behalf of orchardists and farmers in north central Washington, who believe they can rid the county of gophers and other ground pests by turning cats loose on the land. He will visit various districts In Pennsylvania, making headquarters at Sharon, whence a consignment of 7,000 felines will start across the continent in April. Gilbert and a score of volunteers have promised to assist in rounding up all the

OSTRICHES ON GERMAN FARM

Hagenbeck Tries Experiment Which Proves Success —Birds Sheltered Only From Wind. Berlin. —In Hamburg, a town which experiences a cold winter, the breeding of a tropical bird such as the ostrich has just proved to be not only possible, but profitable. In the course of a tour of the German zoological gardens Dr. Chalmers Mitchell, secretary of the British Zoological society, has just paid a visit to Carl Hagenbeck’s ostrich farm at Hamburg, in company with Seth Smith, the zoo’s curator of birds. “This ostrich farm,” said Dr. Mitchell, “is undoubtedly the most remarkable zoological experiment of modern times. Mr. Hagenbeck went to the experienced manager of an ostrich farm, and engaged him to start a farm. ‘Where is it to be?’ asked the expert Tn Hamburg,’ was the reply. The astonished manager, though polite, almost hinted his doubts of Mr. Hagenbeck’s sanity.” However, the farm was started on some bleak flat fields—eight or nine acres in all—fenced into separate paddocks and stocked with eighty or ninety birds. The fields were sown with lucerne, on which the birds fed freely, and their diet was supplemented with crushed bones, boiled maze, eto. In the center is a big shed, in which the birds feed and shelter, but the doors and windows remain open. This shed is carpeted with peat moss and is divided into Mmall “oibloles.” A great incubator hatches the eggs, taking the place of the tropical sun, and the young birds run about on a miniature Sahara of sand. “When we saw the farm," said Dr.

stray cats in and near Sharon. Randall says he is willing to pay a fair price for ail the cats that are delivered to him. He will hot say how he expects to rid the county of cats after the gophers leave. Atomizer Used in Dairy. Mohclair, N. J. —A New Jersey dairyman recently was brought to a realization of the presence of dust in his otherwise perfectly appointed barn. Thereupon he ordered that the tail of each cow be sprayed with an atomizer containing filtrated water. Now when the cows sweep their tails while the milking is under way there is no likelihood of their switching the contaminating dust into the pails. Seventeen Warships for $335,000 Paris. —Seventeen French warships of all ages, shapes and sizes were sold at auction at Toulon. The total sum realized was $35,000. Amojjg the ships sold was the wreck of the Jena. The cruiser Richelieu, which cost $6,000,000, was sold for $75,000 to a merchant from Amsterdam. Drank 218,000,000 Typhoid Germs. London. —The director of water examination to the metropolitan water board states, In his sixth report, that during his tests he drank half a pint of Thames water, containing 118,000,000 typhoid bacilli, without any evil effects. Increase In Land Values. Aurora, Neb. —The average 1910 price for a quarter section of land in this vicinity was $25,000. Ten years ago the average price was $4,000, and 20 years ago it was $1,600.

Mitchell, “there were forty or fifty young birds, some nearly full grown, and all bred at Hamburg. There was a fine show of feathers, for which good prices could be obtained. The whole farm was a most eloquent sermon on the value of fresh air as opposed to mere heat” Dr. Mitchell said he saw no reason why equally good results should not be possible in other countries. “You must have an experienced manager,” he said, “a dry, sandy soil, in a spot preferably sheltered on the north and east, and then there is no reason why an ostrich farm should not be made to pay." little bug is big eater Thirty Caterpillars Each Day Provide Only Ordinary Meal for a Small Green Beetle. Washington.—The house committee on agriculture has discovered that the green beetle, the tree-climbing variety, will kill about thirty caterpillars a day. Tn considering the agricultural appropriation bill, the committee became curious as to the comparative voracity of the beetle, and sought light from Dr. L. O. Howard, Ohio entomologist of the department. Chairman Scott voiced the opinion of most of the committee that, a« the caterpillar was so much larger than the beetle, one caterpillar ought to furnish sufficient rations for several days. Doctor Howard, however, told the committee that the beetle was extraordinarily voracious and could assimilate food readily. The fuzzy caterpillar is the beetle’s main diet

EXCELLENT GRAIN FIELDS IN WESTERN CANADA e YIELDS OF WHEAT AS HIGH AS 54 BUSHELS PER ACRE. Now that we have entered upon tho making of a new year, it is natural I to look back over the past one, for the purpose of ascertaining what has been done. The business man and the farmer have taken stock, and both, if they are keen in business detail and interest, know exactly their financial position. The farmer of Western Canada is generally a business man, and in his stock-taking he will have found that he has had a successful year. On looking over a number, of reports sent from various quarters, the writer finds that in spite of the visitation of drouth in a small portion of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, many farmers are able to report splendid crops. And these reports come from different sections, covering an area of about 25,000 square miles. As, for instance, at Laird, Saskatchewan, the crop returns showed that ,J. B. Peters had 12,800 bushels from 320- acres, or nearly 40 bushels to the acre. In the Blaine Lake district the fields ranged from 15 to 50 bushels per acre, Ben Crews Saving 1,150 bushels from 24 acres; Edmond Trotter 1,200 bushels off 30 acres, while fields of 30 bushels were common. On poorly cultivated fields but 15 bushels were reported. » In Foam Lake (Sask.), district 100 bushels of oats to the acre were secured by Angus Robertson, D. Mcßae and C. H. Hart, while the average was 85. In wheat 30 bushels to the acre were quite common on the newer land, but off 15 acres of land cultivated for the past three years George E. Wood secured 495 bushels. Mr. James Traynor, near Regina (Sask.) Is still on the shady side of thirty. He had 50,000 bushels of grain last year, half of which was wheat. Its market value was $25,000. He says he is well satisfied. Arthur Somers of Strathclair threshed 100 acres,averaging 25 bushels to the acre. Thomas Foreman, of Milestone, threshed 11,000 bushels of wheat, and 3,000 bushels of flax off 800 acres of land. W. Weatherstone, of Strathclair, threshed 5,000 bushels of oats from 96 acres. John Gon:illa, of Gillies, about twenty-five miles west of Rosthern, Sask., had 180 bushj els from 3 acres of wheat. Mr. Goni dlla’s general average df crop was i over 40 bushels to the acre. Ben i Cruise, a neighbor, averaged 45 bushi Bls to the acre from 23 acres. W. A. i Rose, of the Walderheim district, threshed 6,000 bushels of wheat from 240 acres, an average of 25 bushels, 100 acres was on summer fallow and averaged 33 bushels. He bad also an average of 60 bushels of oats to the acre on a 50-ache field. Wm. Lehman, who has a farm close to Rosthern, had an average of 27 bushels to the acre on 60 acres of summer fallow. Mr. Midsky, of Rapid City (Man.) threshed 1,000 bushels of oats from T acres. . The yield of the different varieties of wheat per acre at the Experimental Farm, Brandon, was: Red Fife, 28 bushels; White Fife, 34 bushels; Preston, 32 bushels; early Red Fife, 27 bushels. The crops at the C. P. R. demonstrar tion farms at Strathmore (Alberta) proved up to expectations, the Swedish variety oats yielding 110 bushels to the acre. At the farm two rowed barley went 48% bushels to the acre. Yields of from 50 bushels to 100 bushi els of oats to the acre were quite ■ common in the Sturgeon River Settlement near Edmonton (Alberta). But last year was uncommonly good and the hundred mark was passed. Wm. Craig had a yield of oats from a measured plot, which gave 107 bushels and 20 lbs. per acre. Albert Teskey, of Olds (Alberta) threshed a 100-acre field which yielded 101 bushels of oats per acre, and Joseph McCartney had a large field equally good. At Cupar (Sask.) oats threshed 80 bushels to the acre. On the Traquairs farm at Cupar, a fiveacre plot of Marquis wheat yielded 54 bushels to the acre, while Laurence Barknel had 37 bushels of Red Fife to the acne. At Wordsworth, Reeder Bros.’ wheat averaged 33% beshels to the acre, and W. McMillan’s 32. William Krafft of Alix (Alberta) threshed 1,042 bushels of winter wheat off 19% acres, or about 53 bushels to the acre. John Laycroft of Dinton, near High River, Alberta, had over 1,100 bushels of spring wheat from 50 acres. E. F. Knipe, near Lloydmlnstor, Saskatchewan, had 800 bushels es wheat from 20 acres. W. Metcalf had over 81 bushels to the acre, while S. Henderson, who was hailed ba(DF, had an average return of 32 bushels of wheat to the acre. McWhirter Bros, and John Mcßain, of Redvers, Saskatchewan, had 25 bushels of wheat to the acre. John Kennedy, east of the Horse Mills district near Edmonton, from 40 acres of spring wheat got 1,161 bushels, or 44 bushels to the acre. J. E. Vanderburgh, near Dayslow, Alberta, threshed four thousand bushels of wheat from 120 acres. Mr. D’Arcy, near there, threshed ten thousand and fifty-eight bushels (machine measure) of wheat from five hundred acres, and out of this only sixty acres was new land. At Fleming, Sask., A Winter's wheat averaged 39 bushels to the acre and several others report heavy yields. Mr. Winter’s crop was not .on summer fallow, but on a pleeo of land broken In 1882 and said to be the first broken in the Fleming district. The agent of the Canadian govern-

ment will be pleased to inform e. tlon regarding the varioix districts to Manitoba, Saskatchewan n d Alberta, where free homesteads U acres are available. ■■ ’ nr ApUNAPPRECIATIVE SERVANT. “It is our nurse who has fallen.
