DEVELOPMENT OF
CENTRAL CANADA
the story of big yields of
GRAIN COMES FROM EVERY
SECTION.
When the man in tho States was
told that he could get IGO acres of
land in Central Canada —comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche
wan and Alberta—that under cultiva
tion would produce from 20 to 30 bush
els of wheat to the acre, or if seeded
to oats the yield would be 40 to 60
bushels, he was skeptical. The same
story was told the man who wished to
get nearer to existing lines of rail
way, and was only asked to pay $lO
to sl2 an acre. But many tried it,
some one plan and some another. The
man who accepted the 160 acres as a
free gift, as a homestead, and was
willing to putin the required resi
dence duties of three years has now
a farm worth from fifteen to twenty
dollars an acre. The man who chose
to purchase, and did so, took up his
residence just the same. He has land,
that, in many cases, is worth twice
the money he paid for it. Both have
found that the story of splendid yields
was verified. They have had crops
exceeding that promised; they have
seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to
the acre, and have grown wheat that
averaged 40 and as high as 50 bushels
to the acre. Their wheat was not a
67 lb. to the bushel article but 62 and
63 lbs. They have seen within the
past year or two trunk lines of rail
way constructed through their district,
and throwing out branch lines to the
gates of their farm. They have seen
schools established in their neigh
bourhood and the Government con
tributing largely to their expense.
Churches have been erected, villages
have been established, towns have
sprung into existence and cities are
rapidly springing up, as if the magic
hand of some unseen conjurer was at
work. But it was not; it was the le
gitimate offering of the wealth of the
field which made all these things come
about, naturally, and easy. The prai
rlo that three years ago was merely
prairie, a patch of brown, just waiting
for the ploughman, is to-day dotted
with tilled farms and splendid homes.
The line of elevators with their glis
tening metalled fireproof sides and
roofs, indicate the location of the
town and the railroad. There is the
glow of newness about it all, but the
elevator, the splendid store buildings
and the comfortable hostelrie3 denote
wealth, beyond that of the strength
of the man who fashioned and built
them but the wealth of the soil, which
means that the newness will be fol
lowed by a steady growth. The writer
recently was a passenger over the
Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest fac
tor in this great marvelous field of
development. The rapidity with which
towns were being built up, the farm
steads occupied, was something even
his experienced eye had not looked
for. Everywhere along the line of
this new transcontinental was the dis
tinguishing mark of progress. There
was not a mile of the length of the
road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and
west that did not bear token of its
ability to pay tribute to the revenue
of the road. Mention is made of this
line, not because it is the last in
the field, but because it is one of tho
best built roads on the Continent and
traverses one of the best districts
of an excellent country. It is well
operated, and already has gor--> ?ato
active service as another of
making it possible to secure more
speedily transit from the grain fields
to the shipping centres. It had been
the intention in this article to have
spoken of some of the yields of grain
that have made tho farmers of Cen
tral Canada contented this year, but
space will not permit, so that delight
ful task will be taken up in another
issue. In the meantime it would be
well for the reader, if he is interest
ed, to put himself in touch with some
official of the Canadian Government
and get information that might be use
ful in making a selection for a home
in Central Canada, and become one
of those who will be instrumental in
building up a great country to the
north. In doing r,o, you will be as
sisting the United States. In a few
years' time the United States will be
a wheat importer. Canada will sup
ply the wheat and you will be one of
the producers.
An Artistic Rebuke.
A well-known clergyman was trav
eling in a non-smoking compartment
of a train going north. As soon as
the train was well on its way, the only
ether occupant, without asking per
mission of his fellow traveler, coolly
lit a cigarette. The reverend ge>i
tleman was relieved, as he wanted to
smoke himself, but had been afraid
lest his companion might object. Uut
the opportunity was too good to be
lost. Drawing out his pipe he leaned
forward, and, with an ingratiating
smile, blandly inquired; "Would you
object if I were to smoke?"

"Is it so, that you used to call regu

"Yes; she always sang a song to me

Laying Out Small Grounds.
Evergreens as trees should be kept
from 25 to 40 feet away from places
it is desired to keep as free as pos
sible from snow. It is well to keep
the mass as close to the fence as
practicable. They could either be
putin a straight or irregular line, but
should be kept well bar c from tho
walk. It should be planted to have
the evergreens, if they are spruce, at
least 20 feet apart eventually, as they
lose their beauty if crowded. Ten feet
apart would do now, but they should
be planted with the idea of thinning
them later on. If desired, part of the
evergreens might be used to form a
hedge as marked In the diagram. If
the trees are spruce they could be
planted about three feet apart for
hedge purposes, and if cedar about 18
DAMAGE TO TREES
BY GIRDLING
Often Necessary to Resort to
Grafting to Repair Injury
Done by Rabbits, Mlc®
and Other Rodents*
It is often necessary to resort to
grafting to save a tree that has been
girdled by mice or rabbits. This is
done by forming what is called a
bridge graft. The wound should first
be dressed by cutting away the rag
ged edges and painting the exposed
surface with lead paint. Slender
scions are used and are cut thinly,
wedge-shaped at both ends and from
1% to two inches longer than the
wound is wide. Slip the knife blade
between the bark and wood on one
side of the wound. Start one end of
the scion under the bark and push
down firmly, then spring out the scion
and start the other end under the
bark on the other side in the same
way. The scion should now extend
three-fourths to one inch under the
bark on each side. The bark is tied
tightly over the scions and the
whole, scions and all, covered with

inches. A space from 13 to 15 feet
might be left in front of the terrace
between the ends of the hedges for
the path and a little grass on each
side of it and to hide the uncut grass
further down the ornamental shrubs
might be planted on each side and
would eventually form a screen.
Flower beds would look well across
the angles formed by the junction of
the proposed hedges. If desired,
shrubs might be planted west of the
rows of evergreens down to the high
way. The trees could be transplanted
successfully this spring. The earlier
they are planted after the ground is

bridge through which plant food may
pass and if growth starts on them it
should be rubbed off. They should
be set as close together as possible
around the stem.
Keeping Farm Accounts.
Farmers who visited the Ohio State
university were interested in the sys
tem of accounts used on the farm.
While the land is not tilled for the
same experimental purposes as the
fields at the agricultural experiment
station at Wooster, a certain amount
of experimentation has to be done in
order to determine the most profitable
methods of handling the land. These
experiments are the same in kind as
should be conducted by farmers gen
erally. The accounts are kept in such
form as to show the results of the dif
ferent methods employed on the dif
ferent fields.
Dirt in Potatoes.
The pure food inspector at Kansas
City recently found a sack supposed
to contain 112 pounds of potatoes ac
tually to have 98 pounds of real pota
toes and 14 pounds of dirt. Hereafter
the state board of health will prose

SKIN HUMOR 25 YEARS
"Cuticura did wonders for me. For
twenty-five years I suffered agony
from a terrible humor, completely cov
ering my head, neck and shoulders, so
even to my wife, I became an object
of dread. At large expense I consult
ed the most able doctors far and near.
Their treatment was of no avail, nor
was that of the Hospital, during
six months' efforts. I suffered on
and concluded there was no help for
me this side of the grave. Then I
heard of some one who had been cured
by Cuticura Remedies and thought
that a trial could do no harm. In a
surprisingly short time I was com
pletely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147 Con
gress St., Boston, Mass., Oct. 12, '09."
Face Covered with Pimples
"I congratulate Cuticura upon my
speedy recovery from pimples which
covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap.

and my face cleared and I am perfect

To Spare His Neighbors.
Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, discussing in
New York her book on the rearing
of children, said:
"Children must be trained to be un
selfish and tactful. Without this train
ing ihe average child is as inconsid
erate as a Dark Harbor fisherman the
Maine folks tell about.
"This fisherman, walking along the
road one day, saw a very ugly man
sitting on a fence whittling a stick.
He stopped and looked at the man for
some time in disgusted silence. Then
he said:
" 'Well, you're ugly for fair.'
"'I can't help it, can I?' the ugly
man asked, in a hurt tone.
"The fisherman thought a moment.
Then he said, indignantly:
"'You could stay in the house,
couldn't you?'"
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh

will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly de
rive from them. Hull's Catarrh Cure, manufactured

Compasses in Sleeping Rooms.
It is a curious fact that no Japanese
ever sleeps with his head to the north.
Tue reason is that the dead in Japan
are always buried with their heads In
that direction. Consequently, in the

in larger cities, a diagram of the
points of the compass is conspicuously
posted on the ceiling for the informa

FAMILY COUGH SYRUP
Cures Any Cough in Five Hour*.
NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE.
Hero is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the
medical world. It is a mild laxative,
too, and this is what a body needs
when suffering with cough and cold
on the lungs. A cough or cold indi
cates poisons in the system, causing
inflammation and congestion. Nearly
all cough syrups relieve, but make the
trouble worse by their constipating ef
fects. This prescription not only re
lieves quickly, but it cures any cough
that is curable. Get one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in a bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times
dally. Give children less according to
age. A few hours' treatment will cure
and heal the throat and lungs of all
but consumptives. Cut this out and
give it to some friend who may need
it to be saved from an early death by
consumption.
Hubby Was Too Willing.
In the midst of her tears over a
late disagreement she announced that
she would take a trip of three weeks
in the country for a rest from his abuse.
Hooray! Hooray!
He hurried to the station, bought
tickets, hurried back home, pulled off
his coat, plunged into the cellar,
lugged out her trunks and com
menced to pack.
Lying on a couch, she watched him
through her tears with great curiosity.
From time to time, in reply to many
questions, she advised him what arti
cles would be useful in the country,
and they were eagerly included.
Perspiring and exhausted after some
hours of preparatory detail for her
departure, he sank into a chair and
said:
"Everything is ready now. You
have abundant time to catch your
train."
"I have decided," she said, softly,
"not to go."
