Certain Habits Uaeonaeloualr Form ed aaa Hard te Break. An Ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces sary to break a life-long habit would, It It could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher de gree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope In a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before 1 was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, ufferlng terribly at times with my stomach. "1 was convinced that It was coffee ' that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 1 was Id very poor health, Indeed. My sister Told mo I was In danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drink ing coffee for breakfast, although it ikept me constantly 111, until I tried Fostum. I learned to make It proper- I ! . . . . y according to airections, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothlug at all for coffee. "I am no longer troubled with dys pepsia, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee." Look In pkgs. for the little book, "The Road to Wellvllle."

(Continued.) j I shot It this morning," ho con tinued, "we'll use It." "What do you mean?" nsked Alta- mont. "I mean to blow up the bears cn masse with 100 pounds of powder." "Hut where Is the powder?" exclaim ed his friends. "In the magazine. This passage I dug will lead to It. I made It pur posely." And where Is the mlno to bo?' In quired Altamnnt. At the farthest point from the house and stores." "And how will you manage to entire the bears there, nil to one spot?" "I'll look nftcr that. Let us set to work. We have 100 fpet more to add to our passage to-night, and that Is no easy matter. There are five of us we can take turns. Hell will begin, nnd we will He down and sleep mean time." One by one, nil went to work, nnd In ten hours that Is to say, about 8 In the morning the gallery was entirely open. With the first streak of day the doc tor roconnottered the position of the enemy. The patient nnlmala were still occupying; their old position, prowling up find down and growling. Hastening away to tho mine, he had a strong stake fixed firmly on the granite foundation, on the top of which the dead fox was fastened. A rope was attached to the lower part of the stake, long enough to reach the pow der stores. "This Is the bait," he said, pointing to the dead fox, "and here Is the mine," he added, rolling in a keg of powder containing about 100 pounds. And how will you manage?" asked Altamont. "By hauling In this rope we leave the dead fox exposed to view. The bears are so famished with their long fasting that they won't loso much time In rushing toward their unexpected meal. Well, Just at that very moment, I shall set fire to the mine, nnd blow up both the guests and the meal." "Capital! Capital!" shouted John son, who had been listening with In tenBe Interest. Hatteras said nothing, for ho had such absolute confidence in his friend that he wanted no further explanation. Hut Altamont must know the why and wherefore of everything." "But doctor," he said . "ran you reckon on your match sc exactly that you can be quite sure It will fir- tho mlno at tho right moment?" "I don't need to reckon at all; that's a difficultly easily got over." "They you have a match a hundred feet long?" "No." "You nre simply going to lay a train of powder." "Ono of us must light tho powder," said Johnson. "I'm ready ready and willing." "Quite useless to risk your life, brave fellow," replied the doctor, hold Ing out his hand. "All our lives are precious, and they will be all spared, thank God! "We have an electric battery," he continued, "and lines long enough to serve our purpose? Wo can Are our mine whenever we please, in an In stant, and without the slightest dan ger." "Hurrah!" exclaimed Johnson. "Hurrah!" echoed the others, with out heeding whether the enemy heard them or not. The doctor's Idea was Immediately carried out, and the lines connected, ny 9 o'clock everything was ready. Johnson was stationed in the powder magazine, In charge of the cord which held the bait. "Now," said Clawbonny to his com panions, "load your guns, In case our assailants are not killed. Stand be side Johnson, and the moment the ex plosion Is over rush out," "All right," said Altamont "We have done all we can to help ourselves. May heaven help us!" Hatteras, Altamont and Boll repair ed to the powder magazine, while the doctor remained alono beside the pile. Soon he heard Johnson's voice In the distance calling out "Ready 1" "All right!" was the reply. Johnson pulled the rope that brought the body of the fox on top the Ice. The next Instant the bears had eager ly rushed to seize the booty. Fire!" called out Johnson, and at once the electric spark was sent along the lines right Into the keg of powder. A formidable explosion ensued; the house was shaken as If by an earth quake, and the walls cracked asunder. Hatteras, Altamont ana ueii hurried out, with the guns. But four of the bears lay dead, ana the fifth, half roasted, though alive, was scamberlng away in terror, as raat as his legs could carry him. "Hurrah!" Three cheers for Claw bonny!" they shouted, and overwhelm ed the doctor with plaudits and thanks. Next morning there was a singular rise In the temperature, the thermom eter going up to 15 degrees above sero, This comparative heat lasted sev eral days. In sheltered spots the glasa rose as high as 81 degrees, and symp toms of a thaw appeared. The Ice began to crack here and there, ana jets oi eau water were thrown up, like fountains In an English park. A few days later the rain fell In torrents, For about a fortnight hunting was the principal occupation. There was an abundant supply of fresh meat to be had. They shot partridges, ptarmi gans and snow ortolans, which are de licious eating. 'Do you think we shall have a long spell of this weather. Dr. Clawbonny? puked Johnson. 'No, my friend, I don't; It Is a last blow from the cold. You see these are his dominions, and he won't be driven out without making some resistance.' "What Is the reason?" "Because generally there is a perl odlcal frost In the month of May, and It is coldest from the 11th to the 13th. That Is the fact." The doctor was right, for the cold lusted till the end of the month, and put an end to all their hunting expedl tlons. The old, monotonous life In floors recommenced. CHAPTER IX. During this compulsory leisure, Clawbonny determined to have a talk with the captain on an Important aub Ject the building of a sloop out of the plunks of the Porpoise. The doctor hardly knew how to be Verne. Kin, ns Hatteras bad declared so vehe mently that lie would . never consent o line a morsel of Amerlcnn wood; yet t was liU-h time ho were brought to reason, ns June was at hand, tho only season for distant expeditions, and they could not start without a ship. Ho thought over It a long while. nnd nt last drew th cnptnln aside, n tho kindest, gentlest way: Hatteras, do you believe I'm your friend ?" "Most certainly I do." replied tho captain, earnestly; "my best, Indeed, my only friend." "And if I give you a piece of advice without your asking, will you consid er my motive is perfectly disinterest ed?" "Yes, for I know you have i.e'-er oon actuated by self-lntercst. ilut what nre you driving at?" "Wnlt. Hatteras; I have one thins moro to ask. I)o you look on me as a true-hearted Englishman like your self, anxious for his country's glory?" Hatteras looked surprised, but sim ply Paid: "I do." "You desire to reach the north nole." the doctor went on, "and I understand nnd share your ambition, but to achieve your object you must employ mo right means." "Well, and have I not sacrificed ev erything for It?" No, Hatteras, you have not sacri ficed your personal antipathies. Even m uno very moment l know you are 11.1. - ... In the mood to refuse the Indispensable conditions of reaching tho pole." An: it is the boat you want to talk about, and that man " "Hatteras, let us discuss tho ones I . niFii imiiu), una examine t" '--bp nn all sides. Tho coast on which wo find ourselves nt present may terminate abruptly; we have no proof that It stretcnes away to the pole; Indeed, If your present Information prove cor rect, we ought to come to nn open sea during the summer months. Well, sun posing we reach this arctic ocean and (Ind It free from Ico and easy to navl- K.iiK, wiiui buhii we ao ir wo liuve no ship?" Hatteras made no reply. "Tell me. now. would you like to find yourself only a few miles from the pole and not be able to get to It?1 Hatteras still said nothing, but bur ied ins head in his hands. ih-hiucb, continued the doctor 'look at tho question In Its moral as- in-ci. iiere is an Kngiishman who Biicrlllces his fortune, and even his wire, to win fresh glory for his coun try, but because the boat which bears him across nn unknown ocean nr touches tho new shore, happens to be mndo of tho plunks of an American vessel a castaway wreck of no use to anyone will thnt lesson the honor of the discovery? If you yourself had found the hull of some wrecsVd ves sel lying deserted on the shore, would you have hoHltated to make ubo of It; and must not a Bloop built by four En glishmen and manned by four English men be English from keel to gun wale?" Hatteras was still silent. "No," continued Clawbonny, "the real truth Is, it Is not the sloop you care about; It Is the man." "Yes, doctor, yes," replied the cap tain. "It is this American I detest; I hnto him with a thorough English ha tred. Fate has thrown him In my path." "To save you!" "To ruin me. He seems to defy me, and speaks as if he were lord and mas ter. Be thinks he has my destiny In his hands, and knows all my projects. Didn't we see the man In his true col ors when we were giving names to the different coasts? Has he ever avowed his object in coming so far north? You will never get out of my head that this man Is not the leader of some expedi tion sent out by tho American govern ment." "Well, Hatteras, suppose It Is so, does it follow that this expedition Is to search for the north polo? May It not be to find tho Northwest Passage? Put, anyway, Altamont Is In complete Ignorance of our object, for neither Johnson, nor Bell, nor myself, have ever breathed a word to him about It, and I am sure you have not." Well, let him always remain so." He must be told in the end, for we can't leave him here alone." "Why not? Can't ho stay here In Fort Providence?" ''Ho would never consent to that. Hatteras; and, moreover, to leave man In that way, and not know wheth er we might find him safe when we came back, would be worse than im prudent, it would be Inhuman. Alta mont will come with us; he must come. But we need not disclose our projects; let us tell him nothing, but simply build a sloop for the ostensible purpose of making a survey of tho ooust. Hatteras cculd not bring himself to consent, but said: And suppose the man won't allow his ship to be cut up?" "In that case, you must take the law in your own hands, and build a vessel in spite of him." "I wish to goodness he would refuse, then!" "He must be asked before he can re fuse. I'll undertake tho asking," said Clawbonny. He kept hie word, for that very aame night, at supper, he managed to turn the conversation towards the subject of making excursions during summer for hydrogrnphlcal purposes. "You will Join us. I suppose, Alta mont," he said. "Of course," replied the American. "We must know how far. New America extends." Hatteras looked fixedly at his rival but auld nothing. "And for that purpose." continued Altamont, "we had better build a lit tie ship out of the remains of the Por poise. It Is the best possible use we can make of her." "You hear, Bell." said the doctor, ea gerly. "We'll all set to work to-mor row morning." In the end of May the temperature again rose, and spring returned for good and all. Butn fell copiously, and before long the melting snow was run nlng down every little slope In falls and cascades. But while they were building their boats arguments spring up. Dr. Kune was the first bone of con tentlon on this occasion, for the Jeal ous Englishman was unwilling to grant bis rival the glory of being a discov erer, saying that It was by mere chnnre he hnd made a discovery. Clinnce!" Interrupted Altamont, hot ly. "Do you mean to assert that It 18 not to Kane's energy that we owe his great discovery?" "I mean to say thnt Dr. Kane's name not worth mentioning In ft country made Illustrious by such names as Parry, nnd Franklin, nn Boss, nnd Belcher, mid Penny; In a country where tho seas opened the Northwest Passage In nn Englishman McOluro!" "MiClnre!" exclaimed the American. "Well, If ever chance favored anyone It was that McCluro. Do you pretend to deny it?" Ilatterns started to his feet, and said: "I will not permit tho honor of an English captain to bo attacked In my presence any longer!" "You will not permit!" echoed Alta mont, nlso springing erect. "But these are facts, and It Is out of your power to destroy them!" "Sir!" shouted Hatteras, pale with rase. ".My friends!" interposed the doctor; pray be calm. This Is a scientific point that we are discussing." But Hatteras wis dead to reason now, and said angrily: "I'll tell you the facts, sir." "And I'll tell you," retorted tho Irate American. "OonUemn," said Clawbonny, In a firm tone, "allow mo to speak, for I know the facts of the case as well as ind perhaps better than you, and I can Btato thorn Impartially." "Yes, yes!" cried Hell and Johnson, who had been anxiously watching the strife. "Well, go on," said Altamont, finding himself In the minority. With charts tho doctor told the his tory of McClure's voyage. Still Hat teras nnd Altamont were dissatisfied. "Well, If arriving on ono side and leaving at tho other Is not going through, I don't know what is!" said Hattera s. "Yes, but he went 470 miles over Ice fields." objected Altamont, "What of that?" "Everything; that Is the gist of the wholo argument. It was not tho Inves tigator that went through." "Allamont," said the doctor, "we all consider that you are wrong." "You may easily do that," returned the American. "It Is four against one, but that will not prevent me . from holding my own opinion." "Keep it and welcome, but keep It to yourself. If you please, for the fu Hire," exclaimed Hatteras. "And pray what right have you to sneak to me like this, sir?" shouted Altamont, In a fury. "My right as captain," returned Hat teras, equally angry. "Am I to submit to your orders. then?" "Most assuredly, and woe to you If The doctor did not allow him to proceed, for he really feared the two antagonists might come to blows. Bell and Johnson seconded his endeavors to make peace, and, after a few con dilatory words, Altamont turned on his heel, and walked carelessly away, whistling "Yankee Doodle." Hatteras went outside, and paced up and down with rapid strides. In about an hour ho came I ack, and retired to bed with out saying another word. (To be continued.) QUEER THINGS IN NICARAGUA. Mlnlatera Vnueeessary, aa Zelaya MnnaR-ea Republic hy Phone. According to the statement of an American resident of Nicaragua, who has the confidence of President Zelaya of that republic, the Mexican Herald says, the reports of the dliriculties suf fered in paying the Emory claim have been exaggerated or based upon mlsap- prehenMcn. The above gentleman was In Nica ragua quite recently and while there visited President Zelaya. He saw that though the amount of the Emery claim, $000,000 gold, was a consider able sum, there are' some redeeming features, principal among which is the fact that the railroad track, houses, log cutting plant and other property of the Emery company, valued at up ward of $u73,000, gold, nil revert to the Nlcaraguan government, according to the terma of settlement. Tha gov-1 crnment can use all these facilities on Its own account, so that their value is no loss. Furthermore, he says mat the government owns all Us steamship lines, railroads and other public utili ties, which pay 33 per cent annually, and are not hypothecated to the slight est extent, and that money could easi ly be raised on these if the situation were serious. The same gentleman said that he had an offer from a for eign syndicate to lend the Nlcaraguan government 1,000,000 some three months ago, hut that President Zelaya refused the opportunity, saying that the need for the money was not great enough to justify the government's taking on the debU The reported closing of the war col lege, he said, was due to annual vaca tions, lie was doubtful if It were true that telegraph lines had been sup pressed. As for the cessation of mu sic and festivities in the public plazas, this had been brought about by entire ly other considerations than those of economy. As for the dismissal of all the cabinet ministers, this matter, which the size of Nicaragua enabled them easily to be dispensed with. The Nlcaraguun president, he said. kept lu tjuch pc:3;.. llj ! ..hone with all the aCulri of the ropubllc, making the duties of the caliuct inin lsters practically nil on all ordinary occasions, most persons preferring to conduct their negotiations directly with the president, who was easy of approach. Economy could have had nothing to do with the dismissal of the cabinet nilulsters, since they held their offices merely through patriot' lhin, tho salary being, at the most, not above $t2 a month gold.

T In 1907, the year of the financial de pression, tho tide of immigration from Southern and Southeastern Europe had attained such strength and vol ume that almost every editorial writer In the country felt called upon, more or less often, to dilate upon what this Influx of strange peoples would mean not only to themselves but to the re public. From Italy and Austria-Hun gary the protest was especially loud. for stern figures showed that during the year Austria-Hungary had lost by Immigration to the United States 338,- 452 of Its people, while Italy was re duced by more than a quarter of a million. This remarkable movement from the home soil could not pass unnoted, for every phase of human relation was af fected by it. The landowner felt it most of all, for the men who left were his laborers. Their passing reduced his supply of available labor, increas ed the wages of those who were left and altered their servile attitude to one approaching Independence, so he naturally enough cried out against emigration, declaring that America was robbing tho European nations of their strongest, leaving the aged, tha women and the children. Frightened by the protest, Austria Hungary passed drastic emigration laws under which It will henceforth be harder for the populace to escape its surveillance and service. But even before these laws had a chance to dam the westward tide the Industrial de pression prevailing in this country in tho winter of 1907-8 had turned it eastward. With the advent of "hard times," with the closing of mills and mines and the lessening of railroad construction, .many of the recently ar rived immigrants who had been per forming the coarser, cruder tasks re' quired by the Industrial development of tho country returned to their native lands. Among those who have watched tin ebb and flow of this Immigrant tldo, and who many times has made him self a part of it so he might better understand Its meaning, is Dr. Edward A. Stelner, professor of applied Chris tianity In Grlnnell College, Iowa, and author of "On the Trail of the Immi grant," "The Mediator" and "Tolstoy, the Man and His Message." Dr. Steiner Is in no sense of the word a statistician, though in his book are a few tables showing the Increase and decrease of immigration from European countries. He Is too intense ly Interested In his fellow man, too keenly alive to his humanity, to re duce hkn to arithmetical terms. Every one of the millions who have come to this country is to him an Indi vidual. He says of himself in this book: "I .recognize no barriers of race, class or religion between myself and any other human being that needs me. I happen to know something Chronic Lead-FolaonlBa;. Most cases of chronic poisoning by lead are those of smelters, painters, painters, glaziers, and other artisans of this class, who inhale the metal In the form of fine dust, or swallow it with their food, often, Indeed, as a result of tholr own carelessness. In such cases the nature of the ill ness Is immedlataly recognizable, as a rule, for the attack la always expected. But some persons are so sensitive to the action of lead that poisoning oc casionally originates In seemingly the most unaccountable manner. Sometimes It follows such obscure accidents as the drinking of water or other beverage that has passed through new lead pipes, or that has been stored in casks lined with lead; the eating of food that has been cooked in lead-enameled vessels, or the use of cosmetics containing the metal. It has resulted also from the wearing of artificial teeth in the manufacture of which lead has been wrongfully used, and even from the repeated bit ing of lead dyed silk thread. In a few Instances, too, lead pigments have been used to Improve the color of food prep arations, and large quantities of flour have been rendered poisonous by the use of lead to fill defects In the mill stones. The distinctive symptoms of chronic lead-polsonlng are derangement of the digestion, lassitude, aching of the nnis ied, und dull abdominal pains, or severe colic of a peculiarly agonizing character. In most cases there Is a narrow indigo-blue line in the gums close to the margin. The BUfferer loses flesh rapidly, bis skin becomes sallow, and In the worst cases the nervous system becomes affected. Such violent evidences of braln-pols-onlng as convulsions or acute mania are less frequently produced than the form of paralyse known as "wrist we iEf Raptor OF about human beings; I know intimate ly many races and more nationalities, and I have discovered that when one breaks through the strange speech which so often separates; when one doses one's eyes to what climate has burned upon a man's skin, or what social or economic conditions have formed or deformed one will find in every human being a kinsman." Dr. Stelner Is not the first wise man to declare that nothing hu.:nan is for eign to him, but his ability to sympa thetically Interpret the ideas of those who are isolated by racial, religious and social limitations makes his studies of tho various Immigrants whom he has met' and known espe cially Interesting. It also makes his conclusions worthy of respectful con sideration even by those not In entire accord with him. What does the returning Immigrant take back besides celluloid collars, brass-bound trunks, gold, filling In his teeth and American shoes on his feet? All of these Dr. Stelner notes, but he sees them not as evidences of mere material prosperity. They are sym bols to hlai of life on a higher plane. A missionary who had toiled In Africa among a peculiarly primitive people said that he could implant no spiritual aspiration in the hearts of the sav ages because they had no desire for any material thing. It was not until he had taught them to value and de sire a wash bowl that he could And anything In their minds on which to hang his teachings. The divine dis content of the poets may have Its ori gin in the desire for shoes, for meat, for bread, for better clothing, for moro clothing. Possessed by these desires men are led to exert themselves, to go forth to new lands, to work, to learn new ways, new manners, to enlarge their lives and to broaden beyond measurement that of the generations who follow them. So the returned Im migrant takes back to his native land more than the money he has earned, He takes back the desire to work, greater respect for himself and for his wife, a quickened moral sense and some knowledge as to the need of fresh air in his sleeping rooms. Dr. Stelner is confident that if America does her part the immigrants from southern Europe will not be a serious menace. Some of the argu ments advanced against their desir ability he answers. Their mobility as compared with the immigrants from northern Europe, their movement back to their old home during the period of economic distress, he interprets as an advantage to this country. Cer tainly distress would have been wider spread had the unemployed thousands remained here. Their sending saV' Ings back to Italy, where the govern' ment safeguard their money In postal savings banks, he regards a3 justlfl' able Inasmuch as this government offers no similar institution. It Is the spirit of Washington and Lincoln, the true American spirit in its finest manifestation, in which Dr. Steiner believes. He has faith that this spirit can take the crowding alien host and breathe into it tho life of a nobler .manhood and womanhood; that the immigrant will become in tha next generation, if not In this what soever America wills that he may be come. drop," in which the bands droop from loss of power to extend the wrfsts and fingers. In the treatment of chronic cases, physicians generally administer laxa tives, which form insoluble com' pounds w ith the lead' that remains in the Intestines and remove It; and later they endeavor, by the use of oth er remedies, to dissolve and remove any of the poison that has been depos lted in the tissues. Special treatment by massage, electricity and exercise Is generally required for the relief of the paralysis. Water that has stood overnight In new pipes should never be used for drink or In cooking. The mineral matter in oramary drinking water forms an Insoluble coating on the In terior of water pipes in the course of a few weeks, however, and thus pre vents future contamination. Laa pipes snouid not be used In cisterns, for rain water is devoid of mineral matter. Not Llterarr. "The late Frederick Burton was tht worlds foremost authority on the American Indian," said a Yale ethnol oglst. "Burton was almost alone in his field. There are, you know, so few students of Indian lore. He said to me once, with a vexed laugh, that he found it quite as Impossible to discuss the Indian with people as a Boston critic found It to discuss poetry with the girl he took down to dinner. The girl was very pretty. Leaning her dimpled elbows on the table, she said to the critic: "'And what Is your lecture to be about, professor?" "'I shall lecture on Kenls,' be re plied.

The Yankee, wishing to have some fun with the old lady, took up one of them and said: 'These are small apples you grow over here. In America we have them twice the size." The woman slowly iooked up at him and in a tone of pity exclaimed: "Sure, sorr, ye must be a stranger In Ireland, and know very little about the fruit of our country, whin ye can't tell apples from gooseberries!" STEADILY GREW "WORSE. A Trptcal Tale of Saflferlnars from Sick Kldneva. Mrs. L. C. Fridley, 1034 N. Main St., Delphos, Ohio, says: "Five or six years ago I began to suffer with kidney trouble and grew steadily worse until my health was all broken down. For weeks I was kn bed and could not turn over without being helped. My back was stiff and painful, I was tired and lan guid, and when I was able to get around I could not do my work. The first box of Doan's Kidney TJUs helped me so much that I kept on using them until rid of every symptom of kidney trouble. During the past three years I have enjoyed excellent health."

The Farm era of Central Canada Heap Wheat and Hlchea. Up in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov inces that compose Central Canada have such a quantity of land suitable for the growth of small grains, which grow so abundantly, and yield so hand somely that no fear need be feared of a wheat famine on this Continent The story reproduced below Is only one of the hundreds of proofs that could be produced to show the results that may be obtained from cultivation of the lands in these provinces. Almost any section of the country will do as well. Vlth the country recently opened by the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest of the great transcontinental lines to en ter the field of the development of the Canadian West, there is afforded added ample opportunity to do as was done in the case cited below: To buy a section of land, break It up and crop it, make $17,550 out of the yield and $10,880 out of the Increase of value all within the short period of two years, was the record estab lished by James Bailey, a well-known farmer within a few miles of Reglna. Mr. Bailey bought the 640 acres of land near Grand Coulee two years ago. He immediately prepared the whole section for crop and this year had 600 acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats. The wheat yielded 19,875 bush els, and the oats yielded 4,750 bushels. The whole of the grain has been mar keted and Mr. Bailey is now worth $17,550 from the grain alone. He bought the land at $18 an acre, and the other day refused an offer of $35 an acre, just a $17 advance from the time of his purchase. The land cost $11,320 In the first Instance. Here are the figures of the case: Land first cost. 640 acres, at $18, $11,320. Wheat yielded 19,875 bushels, at 84 cents a bushel, $16,695. Oats yielded 4.750 bushels, at 28 cents a bushel, $855. Offered for land, 640 acres at $35 an acre, $22,400. Increase value of land, $10,880. Total earnings of crop, $17, 550, together with Increase in value of land, a total of $28,540. It Is Interesting to note the figures of the yield per acre. The wheat yielded 33 12 bushels to the acre, and oats 118.7 bushels to the acre. The figures are a fair indication of the av erage throughout the district. Agent of the Canadian Government In the different cities will be pleased to give you information as to rates, eta, 1 J
