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."

COFFEE THRESHED HER.
15 Long Years.
"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.,

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.

How to Sleep In a Blanket.
There are a great many very com
petent treatises telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest of it.l have never seen des
cribed the woodman's method of using
a blanket, however. Lie flat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un
der from left to right, and over tho
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and goto Bleep. If
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten.—Stewart

Where It Hurt Most.
"Young gentlemen," said the college
president, notwithstanding the fact
that he was addressing the students,
"young gentlemen, hazing must be
stopped and stopped at once. 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."
"llow about morally?" asked the
student.
"Aw-aw, really, there may be some
thing in that, but —aw —the—the point
has never come up, and I —aw —am
not prepared to answer. But the point
is worth considering."—Chicago Jour

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. Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money.
Hardly Likely.
Andrew Carnegie tells a story to
illustrate that a Celt is always a Celt
in Scotland as well as in Ireland. In
a sermon preached in a small church
in Glasgow the pastor, after inveigh
ing against slothfulness, said, by way
of climax, "Do you think that Adam
and Eve went about the garden ol
Eden with their hands in their pock
eta?"
