The reports from the grain fields of
Central Canada (which romnrlses the
rovinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberts) are to hand. The year
1909 has not only kept pace with
previous years In proving that this
portion of the continent Is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
mailer grains, hut it has thoroughly
utstripped previous seasons. There
Is quantity, quality and price, and
from all parts of an area of about
320,000 square miles there comes the
strong retrain of contentment and
satisfaction. In the distribution of
the conditions causing it no district
has been overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it Is not the vast total that
Influences the general reader so much
aa what has' been done Individually.
The grand total say 130,000,000 bush
els may have Its effect on the grain
prices of tho world; It may be Inter
esting to know that In the world's
markets the wheat crop of Canada
has suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India is now a factor
In the making of prices. If so to-day,
what will be its effect five or ten years
from now, when, instead of there be
ing seven million acres under crop.
With a total yield of 125,000,000 or
130,000,000 bushels, there will be from
17,000,000 to 30,000,000 acres in wheat
T,"h a yield of from 325,000.000 to
600,000,000 bushels. When It is con
sidered that thn lari?pt vlpl1 In thfl
United Slates but slightly exceeded
700,000,000 bushels, the greatness of
these figures may be understood. Well,
such Is a safe forecast, for Canada has
the land and it has the soil. Even to
day the Province of Saskatchewan, one
of the three great wheat growing
provinces of Canada, with 400,000
acres under wheat, produces nearly
90,000,000 bushels, or upwards of one
tenth of the greatest yield of the Unit
ed States. And Saskatchewan Is yet
only in the beginning of Its develop
ment. As Lord Grey recently pointed
out in speaking on this very subject,
this year's crop does not represent
one-tenth of the soil equally fertile
that is yet te be brought under the
plough.
Individually, reports are to hand of

The remit iloalh of General O. O.
Howard bring to liht the following
story, hitherto never made public,
showing the innn's method of dealing
with his subordinates and the esteem
In which he was held by thrm.
Colonel Yates of Michigan wa3 qtven
permission to enroll a sufiiclcnt num
ber of mechanics to comprise a regi
ment at the beginning of the Civil
War. He went from shop to shop In
tho different towns of Michigan, and
before long had secured the requisite
number. H. promised each man $17
a month -quite an advance over the
Infantry and outlined to a great de
gree their duties. They were to do
no fighting, but were to be held In
reserve, 'and were as heavily armed
as regulars. Thry were soon In the
field, and were detailed to nil orts
of mechanical work, often being far
In advance of the regular troops, build
ing bridges, blockhouses, railroads, re
pairing locomotives and cars, and his
tory says that they were a very effi
cient regiment, and were many times
exposed to the cavalry of the enemy.
When they received their first pay
It was, to their surprise, the same as
that paid to the infantry, Instead of
the $17 promised. Naturally Indig
nant, they complained to Colonel Yate3
and everyone having anything to do
with the matter, but finally decided
to await another pay day. The next
time they received tho same amount.
The boys got together, but could for
mulate no plan of action. They were
In the land of hostilities, and deser
tion was not possible, even If contem
plated. Finally, my brother, Garland
n. St. John, a private "In this engi
neer's corps, said to his bunkniate.
"Doc, let's stock arms," and Doc Web
er said: "If you'll start it, we will
follow." This action was not entered
into blindly, for they knew what the
consequences would be. The next
morning after breakfast my brother
said, "Come on, Doc," and they were
joined by a third, and then by others,
untlr fifty rifles stood in that stack.
Of course, they were all arrested and
sent to the guardhouse.
My brother, being the leader, was
asked what he was going to do, and
he replied: "We will stand trial, and
I want General D. O. Howard to de
fend us." This was granted, and this
grand and just man took care of the
case before the powers higher up. He
had seen and knew of the work of the
mechanics, and explained that they
were even more useful than the In
fantry In many Instances, and being
mechanics and engineers, ought to re
ceive the pay promised at the time of
their enlistment. The result of the
affair was their acquittal, and a grant
ing of their full pay from the day
they were mustered Into the service
It Is needless to say that no one
ever held a warmer place In the hearts
and memory of the men ot that First
Michigan engineers and mechanics
than did General O. O. Howard. The
regiment proved its loyalty and efft
clency all through the war, notably
In the building of the waterworks at
Chattanooga; which stood the test of
a quarter of a century. Many a pon
toon bridge they threw across a river
for the troops to cress on while a rain
of bullets from the foe wa3 poured
upon them
And now, like most of those in the
corps who have ere this met the last
great enemy my brother among the
number this grand old Christian war
rlor, General Howard, has gone to his
reward. S. H. St. John, In the Rocky
Mountain News.

and visions of cans of condensed milk,
lobsters and canned goods, floating in
mid-air, would arouse him to energetic
action
While in camp near the terminus of
Grant's City Point railway, south of
Petersburg, In 18G5, a few of the boys
belonging to my regiment, myself in
eluded, wandered up the railway track
to Meade's Station, where, we heard
a large amount of suiter's goods were
being accumulated. Rations were, for
some unexplained reason, gettln

little on our own account.
The night was dark but not stormy
just the one for a successful raid
Arriving at the low wooden structure
used as a station, we found tb,e plat
for.m crowded with boxes and barrel
awaiting transportation to the distant
regiments. We also found a guard
posted to see that none but the right
ful owners appropriated the property.
Soon after our arrival a crowd be
gan to assemble near the old building,
whose significant looks and mysteriou
actions soon alarmed the guard, an
before the sutlers began to remove
their goods the whole of the second
relief was posted in and around tho
station. This hostile precaution would
have discouraged any but hungry sol
diers; but they came there for grub,
and grub they meant to have. None
were found bold enough to try forcing

In his article on tho career of Maj-
lenry Young, the famous Civil War
scout. In Harper' Magazine, W. G.
lleymer gives a vivid account of one of
the most daring of bis n-.lvor.turf".
This expedition was made within a
few days after the men bad been se
lected, dressed In the gray uniforms
nd armed with two revolvers each
carried In the tops of the bih boots
nd the short, terrible Spencer car
bines. Night had fallen when they left
the camp, and for a long time the men
rode without knowing where they were
going or the work thai lay before
hem; then Young halted and carefully
nstructed them and told them his pur
pose. Sixty men were to attack an cu
tlre brigade of confederate cavalry!
They rode on again in the darkness
perhaps blacker now to ouch man as he
considered the desperate chances. After
time they halted aud drew off into
the edgj of a forest bordering a road
on which Maj. Young had learned the
confederate column would travel; and
here followed a wait that must have
seemed endless the dreaded Inaction
just before battle. The well-trained
horses stood with drooping heads, like
statues; the raw November night
chilled as though a corpse bad sud
denly risen and breathed upon them;
and still the confederates did not
come; tho strain must have, bee;i horri
ble. Then above the dry-bone knock
nd creak of the bare branchas of the
forest behind them there came n new
sound the sound of a distant cavalry
column, trotting.
"Young gave a signal, and tho men
stole out from anions the trees, lead-
ng the horses; at the roadside tlic
mounted, and waited. The head of the
column approached, and they fell in
with it and jogged along, iilouchin.; in
the Baddies as did tli; worn, sleepy
confederates, to whom they seemed but
a returned scouting party, dully noted,
nslantly forgotten.
Maj Young suddenly whirled hi:;
horse about, and fired both barrels of
his shotgun In the faces of the confed
erate troopers. His men followed him;
the shotguns roared like artillery
buckshot raked the column down
whose bloody lanes the Yankees rode
at the charge, liring their revolvers on
cither side without mercy. The nt
tack, coming out of their midst, was a
blinding shock to the confederates.
The rest Is all told, In one word
pandemonium. And all but. one union
soldier came through that charge down
the entire length of the column."
Why Urn. ICurly I'.ttcnpoil.
In Harper's W. G. Beymer narratoi
a new chapter 01 history in telling
how the famous scout, Harry Y'oung,
had Gen. Karly In his power and let
him go.
"In retaliation for the capture of
Gllmor, Jesse McNeill, at the head of
a band of sixty-five rangers, had cap
tured Gens. Crook and Kelly from
their beds In hotels In the heart of
the large town of Cumberland. That,
like Gilmor's capture, was done by an
armed party of men a performance
all dash and excitement, and with the
penalty, if taken, of merely an enemy's
prison. When Maj. Young set out
alone for Staunton a lew days later
to capture Gen. Early from his head
quarters In the midst of his army, It
was a deed that was akin to mild
ness. By every rule of war he was a
spy, an nothing could have saved
him. What a story could be told by
the man who faced death each mo
ment of those days and nights. He
could have taken Karly; for two nights
he stood sentry at his very door, while
the faithless Confederate guard with
whom he had changed places went
Into the town sweet-hearting! Hut
with nearly sixty miles to travel In an
enemy's country, winter-bound and
hampered by a prisoner, he realized
that some time In the ensuing pur
suit he must either free Early or kill
him, and he would not wish to do
either once he had him. Young after
ward said to Gen. EdwardB, 'Had Early
been guilty of murdering prisoners 01
of sanctioning It, I could and would
have taken his life, but I did not con
sider it civilized warfare to kill him
under the circumstances.' Did Gen.
Jubal Early ever learn who hail guard
ed him as he slept? and ever after
see In each sentry at his door a llviny
sword of Damocles?"

It Is more difficult to doctor them
than (onimon fowls. Turkeys are both
more delicate and more nervous. Since

provided work being done by the do
pament o.f agriculture realizes re
sults confidently anticipated by those
having It In charge. Efforts to intro
duce Into this country the South Afri
can calabash, or gourd, are meeting
with marked success. The use of the
calabash ns a pipe bowl was discov
ered by the Boers, who attempted to
monopolize the product and prevent
tho exportation of seed. Some were
obtained for experiments here, and it
is found the vine grows luxuriantly
and produces large crops of gourdi
under our soil and climatic conditions
The pipes are graceful and distinc
tive in shape, according to a report
from the department. Imported pipes
made from tho calabash sell at from
$8 to $12 each. They color like the
meerschaum and are delightful smok
ers. The high cost of the pipes Is
caused by the amount of hand work
necessary in preparing them, tho
shapes varying so that machine work
is not practicable. The gourds can
easily be made Into pipes by buying
Inside bowls and mouthpieces. Tho

Canada ThUtlea.
The experiment stations of this
country have undertaken to show the
farmers how to exterminate the Cana
dian thistles and do it scientifically.
It is the most dreaded of all weeds,
because its seeds are so easily distri
buted, and It grows by underground
stems.
The life of the plant depends upon
the green leaves above ground. Cut'
ting these leaves and the stems twice
does not seem to affect the roots,
which have reserve material to draw
upon, but by continued cuttings this
reserve will be exhausted and the
plant will die.
The most successful of the fctate ex
periments was in Illinois. The thistles
used In the' test covered two and one-
half acres very thickly of rich, black
pialiie soil. The thistles were cut
July 17, when in full bloom, very
close to tho ground. The ground was
plowed three Inches deep and har
rowed. Hungarian millet was sown
at the rate of one bushel per acre. On
September 10 the millet was one foot
high and tho thistles four or five
Inches high. It was turned under and
harrowed. October 8 the ground was
plowed, .again harrowed and seeded to
winter rye at tho late of one and
one-half bushels per acre.
The middle of the following April
the rye wus turned undr and the
ground thoroughly harrowed. The
ground was plowed May 2!) aud June
25. On May 25 very few thistles could
be found. July l the ground was
seeded to millet, which was cut for
bay September 15. Less than 50
thistles wera found on the two and
one-half acres during the latter half
of the (season. The net total cost or
this victory was $10.50 per acre.
Thistles should not only be cut but
burned. No trace of them should be
left, as the seeds are easily distributed
arid will thrive under the most ud
vtrse conditions.

As winter comes on all young apple
trce3 should be protected from ml-e
and rabbits. Mice, beln? p-nall, gnaw
the bark from tho trte.n i-ln o to the
ground, but rabbits gnaw it off up m
far as they can reach. In either ca
where the bark Is seriously disturlx I

becomes Blunted and distorted I::
shape bo that It Is worse than usele.-:;.
The way to prevent mbe from gn;.
lug young trees Is to keep the ground
free from grins or other material in
which the animals can hide. H a
circle tVo feet in diameter about Hie
base of the tree is clear or dry vege
table matter the mice are not very
apt to bother the tree. Mice will
work only where they have materia'
to hide under and if there Is no such
material close to the tree In winter
they will not cross the open space. A
circle of coal ashes about the base of
m
the you n is tree makes a good prot
tlon against mice, since they become
very compact and are not easily work
ed under. If tho trees are mulched
with straw or similar material it
should not be plated within at least
a foot of the tree.
As a protection against rabbits
gnawing the bark from young trees In
winter the only remedy Is to protect
the body or the tree to the height
above which a rabbit can reach. This
may be done by wrapping the lower
part of the tree with heavy paper or
seveial thicknesses of common news
paper. A permanent protection may
be made by using small meshed poul
try netting. Wheie the tree Is wrapped
with paper or similar material, the
nt rings or wires holding the wrapping
tdiotild be removed at tho beginning
of the following growing season to
prevent girdling of the tree.

Milk In the udder of a cow Is form
ed entirely free from bacteria. II
should be remembered, however, that
nn Injury bo slight that It would es
cape detection might be sufficient to
allow the passage of bacteria. But
even If milk is secreted bacteria free,
it is difficult to obtain It perfectly
sterile. Ilacterla work their way Into
milk through the opening of tho teat
nnd find there conditions where they
can grow nnd multiply. This growth
is ordinarily confined to the lower
part of tho udder, and the greater
number of the bacteria are washed out
with the first few streams of milk.
Sometimes they find their way further
up and the last milk contains ns many
bacteria as. the first.
The real contamination occurs after
the milk has left the udder. In spite
of careful milking, dirt, particles ol
dust, hairs and even bits of manure
may fall Into the milk. All of these
things carry mora or less contamina
tion. Manure usually contains large
numbers of bacteria, many of them
being kinds which produce undesir
able changes In the milk, aud tho dust
on the stable floors contains great
numbers and varieties of bacteria.
This dust soon settles and an open
milk pail catches a surprisingly large
number.
1 int. the contamination does not end
here. The palls or cans may not be
properly cleaned and the corners or
seams may hold particles of dirt or
sour milk. The cloth through which
the milk Is strained may not have
been properly scalded nnd the bacterlu
not only not destroyed, but have ac
tually multiplied In the dump cloth.
When the strainer is used again,
many of these bacteria are washed out
by the milk.
If n cooler Is used, It may add to
the contamination, If It is placed bo
that It catches dust. Finally the bot
tles in which the milk Is distributed
may not have been properly washed
and steamed and thus may become
another source of contamination. The
contamination from each Individual
Kiiin'o may be small, but taken all
tn:;eiher It has a serious Influenc on
the quality of the milk. If right
precautions are taken the number of
bacteria in fresh milk may be kept
clown to a few hundred to the cubic
centimeter; with careful milking and
handling, the number will vary great
ly with circumstances and may excited
100,000.
