WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES Satisfactory Yields of Wheat and Good Prices. Dundurn, Sask., Sept. 30, 1906. Mr. W. H. Rogers, Canadian Govern ment Agent, Indianapolis, lnd. My Dear Sir: When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my north quarter made per acre. You will remember it was all sown to wheat. Well, I linished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of 43% bushels per acre—testing 64*6 pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised —so uniform and even in size. You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2,000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors. This year has been my best effort in farming during my life. My wheat totaled 9,280 bushels and my oats nearly 5,000. If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quar ter on the south, which 1 said I should have in order to make one of the best (arms in western Canada. I am very glad to be able to tell you that I now own that half section. My ambition now is to be able to market 20,000 bushels of wheat nest year. If some of those good, honest Hoosiers could bave been with me during the last two weeks and could have seen the golden ftraln rushing down the spout into my wagon and then could have seen it in treat piles !n my granaries, I feci suro they would have been forced to acknowledge thero !o no better farm ing country in the world tlnn this. I aiay just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest and threshing. This year I proved to My neighbor that the Hoosiers, when once "woke up," can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers. His best yield was 42 V& bushels per acre, so you see "old Indiana" is holding the ribbon thi3 year. Yours very truly, N. E. BAUMINR. SOME WIVES ARE DIFFERENT. Quiet Cynicism, or Good Honest Row —Which Is the Better? "Most men," said the man of experl »nce, "think it must be awfully nice to have a'wife who takes things as coolly as Dave Potter s wife takes them; but others, more discriminat ing, prefer a good honest row to her stylo of quiet cynicism. The way she behaved the other day when she Tound a letter in Dave's pocket from a girl is an example of her method. " 'I don't see,' wrote this girl, 'how on earth I can ever live without you.' "Dave's wife read that gush, and a lot more just like it, without ever turn* Ins a hair. " 'Well,' she said, quietly, 'that girl Is a fool. If she knew you as well as I do she would be wondering how on earth she could ever live with you.' "And that, in the opinion of the dis criminating few, cuts a whole lot deeper than a common, everyday rum pus." Expect Contest Over Wilt. A contest is expected over the wfh of Mrs. Isabelle Beecber Hooker, slß ter of Henry Ward Beecher. Mrs. Katherine Burton Powers of Brook line. Mass., granddaughter of Mrs. Hooker, is expected to contest the will. The bulk of the estate which ia estimated at about $70,000, is given to the son of Mrs. Hooker, Dr. Edward B. Hooker of Hartford. Mrs. John C. Day of New York, daughter of Mrs. Hooker, receives nothing "because," according to the will, "she and her daughter are so amply provided for by the estate of her late husband."

"For over fifteen years," writes a patient, hopeful little Ills, woman, "while a coffee drinker, I suffered from Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble. I was treated by good physi cians, but did not get much relief. "I never suspected that coffee might be aggravating my condition. I was downhearted and discouraged, but prayed daily that I might find some thing to help me. "Several yeara ago while at a friend's house, I drank a cup of Post 11m and thought I had never tasted anything more delicious. "From that time on I used Postum Instead of coffee, and soon began to Improve in health, so that now I can walk half a dozen blocks or more with ease, and do many other things that I never thought I would be able to do again in this world. "My appetite is good. I sleep well, and find life worth living, indeed. A lady of my acquaintance said she did not like Postum, it was so weak and tasteless. "I explained to her the difference when it is made right—boiled accord Ing to directions. She was glad to know this because coffee did not agree with her. Now her folks say thsy ex pect to use Postum the rest of their dives." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Head the little ibook, "The Road to Wellville," ii) iplcgs. "There'# - a reason."' CURING SELF SUCKING COW. Placing Bull Rings in the Nose Will Prove Effective. Prof. W. li. Carlyle, while at the Wisconsin experiment station, de vised a plan for breaking cows of the habit of either sucking themselves or sucking others. Prof. Carlyle's plan was a simple one and consists of noth- Cure for Self-Sucking Cow ing more than putting a bull ring through the cow's nose and suspend ing two other rings to thi3, as shown in the accompanying illustration. Prof. Carlyle found this plan to be effective with all cows upon which it was tried. It is probable that some of our read ers having trouble with cows which have acquired this habit will find something in the suggestion which will be helpful to him. THE HEIFER AND HER CALF. Patience and Good Judgment Needed to Avoid Difficulties. It might prevent much profanity in thought and word, and a great deal of impatience, if the dairyman and farm er, face to face with the unbroken heifer and young calf problem, would keep in mind this advice hy an insti tute worker ia the state of New York: "Fix things so the calf can never suck its dam, and when the cow has mothered It a few hours —don't be in too -great a rush about it —milk about three quarts of her milk into a pail, put it 'lp under the calf's nose so as to touch it, and in a minute it will drink from the word go, and you have won out. A calf that has never sucked will drink as readily as it will get the hang of finding its own dinner. By the same rule a heifer should always bo hand milked, and then knows no other way. Let the calf run with her a few days, and then milk her, is, in her way of thinking, robbery of her calf, and you have to break her, which often is quite a vaudeville show, and often of somewhat unpleasant memory. From the start play that you are heifer's calf —and make her believe it; and to the calf, be its god of the feed dish, and the rest is a pleasant pastime." By the way, these suggestions as to a calf's meal may be timely in this connection: One part pure ground flax seed, two parts finely ground corn meal sifted, two parts of finely ground oatmeal sifted, and the whole mixed; then boil and allow to stand for 12 hours, covered. Begin with one-fourth pound per day for calves a month old —new milk for the month previous, and no solids. Increase the amount of solids as the calf grows older, but not to exceed a pound a day. Keep fresh, second cutting of clover or al falfa hay before it. DAIRY NOTES. To keep up the flow of milk always milk clean. A really good cow will lose flesh rather than gain it when in full flow of milk. A routine way of doing things saves much time, but we must improve that routine if we can. Stop the churn as soon as the but ter granulates if you want to work out all the butter milk. With a thoroughly good cow to man ufacture it we can always afford to putin feed and take out butter. If the heifer calf is to become a good dairy cow she must be fed as though she were a good cow now. All cows do not like the same kind of feed, neither will they do so well as they would on some other kind. Under present conditions the most profitable dairy cow is the one that helps you to make the most butttir In winter. Rich food makes rich milk; the best cow in the world will not give good milk unless she is given food from which to make it. Butter will never grain finely in "coming" if the fat globules have pre viously been injured by overheating of the cream or too much violence in churning. • All milk vessels should be thorough ly cleaned, first being well washed, then scalded with boiling water and afterwards sufficiently aired to keep them perfec y sweet. Why .utter Don't Come. In a majority of cases when butter does not come it is the result of one or two causes —either the thermome ter has not been used and the cream has been nut Into the churn too cold, or too much has been putin and the 'jhurn is overloaded, so that the cream does not get the proper oscillation.

It has injured tho college more than any of you ever could guess. Only last week a gentleman declined to give us $1,000,000 because there was so much hazing. Hazing is a bad thing financially."

But the point is worth considering."—Chicago Jour nal. Proof of Merit. The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects, and the volun tary testimonials of those who have used Allcock's Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical. Self-praise is no recommendation, but certificates from those who have used them are. Allcock's are the original and gen uine porous plasters and have never been equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them.
