BIG POTATO YIELD Western Canada Man Raised 600 Bushels on Two Acres. He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but There Were Even Larger Crops in the Neighborhood—Live Stock Men Prosper, As a by-product the yield of potatoes on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pay- ing proposition. Coaldale is In .the Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med- icine Hat is a, place, pictured in the mind of many Americans, where the weather man holds high carnival, and when he wants to put a little life or spirit into the people just moves the mercury down a few notches. The rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a rather unenviable place on the map. But it isn't half as bad as it is pie- tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes It. Last year he grew six hundred bush- els of potatoes on two acres of land that had no special preparation, and only the usual precipitation, or rain, as the less cultured would call It When he couldn't work at his hay or grain, because of the damp mornings, he gave them some attention. And then evenings between supper and chores and bedtime he gave them some work, Anyway his yield was six hun- dred bushels, and he sold the whole lot for $285. Ben is satisfied. Still there were larger yields than this In the neighborhood. If one might speak of hogs In the same breath in which you speak of po- tatoes, there Is nothing in the ethics of literature that would create a de- | barment. Taking advantage of this license it will not be out of place to state that large potato yields are not the only feature of Interest in this rew and Interesting country. Amongst pthers hogs are having a good deal of kttentidn. Not long ago, hogs reached the $23.00 mark on the Calgary market. It doesn’t cost much to raise a hog and very little to bring him to a weight of 200 pounds, Don’t cost much! Cer. tainly not. But what about the man who recently pald $350 for a Duroc Jersey Boar? That was all right. That man | knew what he was doing. He was do- ing whet a great many other farmers in Western Canada are doing today, He is acting on the old “saw,” that “it costs no more to raise a good crit. ter than a poor one.” That is the rea- son that Western Canada is looming large in the live stock world. The best is none too good. The same may be eaid of horses, cuttle, yes, and sheep, too. The very best sires and dams of the best breeds are purchased. And while big prices are paid, it is felt that | the demand for pure-bred stock at home and abroad will bring returns | which will warrant any reasonable | price that may be asked.—Advertise- | ment, { Nothing in IL i Tommy—How you «did holler when | the dentist was working over you i Jobby—Well, it was a holler tooth, | The old porch hammock is making | : { teur these n Why buy many bottles af other Vermi. | fuges, when one bottle of Dr. Peery's "Dead | Bhot” will act surely and promptly?

HEINIE ZIMMERMAN IS GOING STRONG Veteran Has Stood Strain of Eleven Seasons With Majors. Prediction of Various Scribes That He Would Be Displaced at Third Base Not Yet Fulfilled—Slow in Rounding Into Form.

But tracts to be signed Zim visited the offices of the Giants, accepted terms without a whimper, and calmly told third baseman he'd better cancel the arder, When the Giants entrained for Gainesville to start spring training the veteran Zim was very much in evi. dence, He got into a uniform and started sawing wood in his own way, taking his time and working hard to get into shape. Eight hours’ work a day in an Jersey shipyard during part of the winter had not done Zimmer- man any noticeable harm, but like most of the veterans, Zim rounds into shape slowly, and, like most athletes of an aggressive nature who have an touch or two of temperament, Zim didn’t give a tinker's rap what any- body thought about It. “Lettem try displacing me at third base and there'll be a funeral for somebody,” was the way Zim looked at it.
