rHAT A LEADING AGRICULT
URIST SAYS OF WEST
ERN CANADA.
arof. Thonittn Slin-nr of Minnesota
Unlvcralt) fllvca an Uiiblaned
, Opinion.
In a letter to "The Farmer," St. Paul,
dated Sept. 1st, 1001, Prof. Thomas
Shaw, of the Minnesota State Univer
sity, has the following to say, after
having made n trip through Western
Canada:
"The capabilities of the immense
area known ns Western Canada are
but little understood on this sideof the
line. Our people are apt to look upon
it as a region of frost and snow, a coun
try in which but small portion of the
land relatively will ever be tillable
because of the rigors of the climate.
True, the climate is cold in winter,
but Western Canada has, nevertheless,
just that sort of climate which makes
it the most reliable whent producing
country in all the continent.
! AN IMMENSE AREA.
Western Canada is not only an im
mense area, but the same description
will apply to those portions of the
country that are capable of being suc
cessfully tilled or grazed. Xcnrly all
of thcpi'airie Province of Manitoba can
be brought under cultivation, although
probably not one-third of its sur
face has been laid open by the plough.
Asslniboia to the west is a grain and
stock country. Saskatchewan to the
north of Assiniboia has high adapta
tion for the same. This also may be
said of Alberta to the west. Here lies
what may be termed a grain growing
and stock producing empire, the re
sources of which have becnbut little
drawn upon comparatively, viewed
from the standpoint of the agricultur
ist. When it is called to mind that
even in the Peace Kiver Country, sev
eral hundreds of miles north of tho
Canadian boundary, wheat was grown
which won n, premium at the World's
Fair in 1803, the capabilities of this
country in wheat production loom up
more brightly than even the brilliant
Northern lights of the land that lies
toward the pole.
ADAPTED TO STOCK AND GRAIN
PRODUCTION.
The region under consideration is,
however, mainly adapted to growing
grain and grazing stock. Much of it
is adapted to growing both grain and
stock, but certain areas, especially
towards the mountain, are only ndapt
ed to ranching, except where irriga
tion will yet be introduced. This, of
course, can be done successfully along
the many streams that flow down from
the Rockies, and water tho country
towards the east and north. The
adaptation of the country for wheat
production is of a high character.
The cool nights that usually charac
terize tho ripening season are em
inently favorable to the filling of the
grain, and to the securing of a plump
berry, and consequently large yields.
The crop this year is a magnificent
one. In Manitoba and the Territories
it should certainly give an average of
more than 20 bushels per acre. But
should the yield be not more than 20
bushels, the crop will be a most hand
some one, owing 1o the large area
sown to wheat. Many formers only
grow grain. But those who do suc
ceed as well in growing oats and barley
as in growing wheat, hence these foods
for live stock should always be
nbundant. Some grow cattle main
ly and others combine the two.
The last named, of course, is
doubtless the safest of the three
during a long course of years, that
is to say, where such farming is prac
ticable. QUALITY OP LIVE STOCK.
It was n pleasurable surprise to
note the high quality of the stock. The
average of quality in cattle is higher
than the average of cattle in our State,
unless in the dairy classes. This opin
ion is not reached rashly or without
ample opportunity for investigation.
I spent three long days in the show
ring at Winnipeg making the awards
in the beef classes. I question if any
of our states, single 'handed, could
make such a showing fn cattle. It was
my privilege to make the awards at
several shows, and at all of them
were evidences that much attention is
given to tho improvement of the htock.
1 noted carefully the cliaracter of the
herds that grazed along the railroad
and everywhere tho high average of
the quality of the stock was in evi
dence. REASONS FOR QUALITT IN STOCK.
The quality of the grass is
good. Many of the settlers came
from Ontario, and had been schooled
as to the value of good stock before
going west. The railroad's and tho
Government have taken a deep in
terest in making it less difficult and
costly to the farmers to secure good
males,
Those who are anxious of changing
their residence should bear in mind
that the lands in Western Canada are
many of them free and others reason
ably cheap.
Information will gladly be given by
any agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose advertisement nppeura

A ROAST FOR JENKINS.
PrcMtlent ItoiKovolt Itomovo tlio Oklaho
ma Governor mill CIlvos III Itonsous
for So Doing.
Washington, Dec. 2. Thomas Fer
guson, of Wntunga, Ok., was appoint
ed governor of Oklahoma. He is ed
itor of the republican paper thcro
and chairman of the republican ter
ritorial committee. It is understood
that one of tho conditions of his ap
pointment was that he resign his po
sition ns head of the territorial com
mittee. In connection with the ap
pointment of Mr. Ferguson, President
Hoosevelt made the following state
ment: "Gov. Jenkins, of Oklahoma, is
hereby removed because of his im
proper connection with iv contract
between the territory and the Okla
homa Sanitarium company. The de
cision is based purely upon his own
written statements and his oral ex
planations of them at the final hear
ing. One of the duties of the terri
torial governor is to enter into n
contract with some person or corpo
ration for the keeping of the insnno
of the territory. Gov, Jenkins inndQ
such a contract with the Oklahoma
Sanitarium company, u corporation
the promoters of which reserved $10,
000 of its stock for the governor and
subject to his orders. In the gov
ernor's explanation of this he told
the promoters nt the time they tie
Bired him to sanction the contract
'that it was an important contract
and I had some friends whom 1 would
like to have interested and to whom I
owed some political obligations
which T would not be able to pay
by appointment or anything of that
kind.' "
NATIONAL BANKS.
Tho Comptroller of thn Currency 3Iiitcs
IIIh Anniml Itoport for Tr.inHinls.
Hlnti to Congress.
Washington, Dec. 2. The annual
report of William B. llidgely, comp
troller of the currency, has been pre
pared for transmission to congress.
The report details the resources and
liabilities of national banks, and tho
comptroller says: The authorized
capital stock of the '1,279 national
banking associations in existence on
October 31, 1901, was $GG3,224,195,
which is a net increase during the
year of $30,721,800.
National banks held the greatest
amount of individual deposits during
the existence of the system on July
15, 1001, namely, $2,941,837,428.77. Lia
bilities to depositors on December 13,
1900, aggregated $2,023,997,521.88, and
at date of last report $2,937,753,233.33,
a decrease since July 15, 1901, of $1,
034,105.44, but an increase since Sep
tember 5, 1000, of $429,504,675.80.
On October 31, 1901, the outstanding
circulation of national banks amount
ed to $359,832,715, an increase for tho
year of $28,219,447, and since the
passage of the act of March 14, 1900,
of $105,800,4S5.
WOULD DEPORT THEM.
Senator Vmt, of MUnnurl, Will Make nn
AggrcfiMlve right to Kid tho Coun
try of AnurchlotH.
Washington, Dee. 2. Backing for
legislation looking to the punishment
of assaults upon the presidents of the
United States or any of the members
of his cabinet is not to come from
the majority side of the senate and
house. Senator Vest, of Missouri, one
of the most influential and conserva
tive members of the minortiy, has
come to Washintgon with renewed
health and vigor after a summer in
the west, and early in the session he
will offer a resolution calling upon
the senate judiciary committee for
information as to the legal obstacles
in the way of legislation designed to
reach anarchy. The senator proposes
that not only shall the emigration
laws of the country be amended so
as to exclude recognized anarchists,
but he wishes to devise a plan by
which those who are now in tho coun
try may be deported.
HISSES FOR THE CONSORT.
HolliiiKlerH' Hearts Filled with Contempt
for the Unworthy I'rlnco Henry and Ad-
ulutloii for Their Young Ouceii
Amsterdam, Dec. 1. Grave reports
continue to be circulated regarding
the differences between Queen Wil
helminn and her husband, Prince
Henry. The story, however, that n
duel resulting therefrom has been
fought and that the queen's aide-de-camp,
Maj. Van Tot, was wounded, is
absolutely denied by Maj. Van Tot's
brother, who says the aide-de-camp
is suffering from peritonitis. At the
theater the hiogrnph pictures of the
queen arc tumijltuously cheered
nightly while those of Prince Henry
are loudly hissed.

Springfield, Mo., Dec. 2. By at
tempting to start a fire with what
she believed to be coal oil, but which
was gaholine, Mrs. Martha Anschutz,
of this city, caused the death of her
two-year-old child, the serious burn
ing of a four-year-old child and per
haps the fatal burning oi herself.
Influence of Food,
"What do you think of the theory that
food has a potent influence in determining
character?" nsked Mr. Smithrield,a3hoput
three lumpi of sugar in his coflcc.
"I guess it's all right' replied Mr. Wood,
ns he severed a portion of his beefsteak.
"It always seems a little cannibalistic to me
when you order lobster."
, "Well." retorted Mr. Smithficld, good
humorcdly, "I ought to have known it was
dangerous to lend you money after I discov
ered your fondness for beets. But, serious
ly, if there were anything in the theory,
woman t it make a man sheepish to eat
mutton?"
"It would, and prize fighters ought to
restrict themselves to a diet of .craps."

A Wonderful Clock.
A clock was recently made, which in ad

Tho following if a, most interesting and, in
one respect, pafhetic tale.
Mr. J. Pope, 42 l'errar lload, Slrcatham,
said:
"Yes, noor chap, lie is gone, dead horso
bolted, thrown oft his scat on his cab he was
driving and killed poor chap, and a good
sort, too, mate. It was him, you see, who
gave me the half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oil
that made a new man of me. 'Twas like
this: me and Bowman were gieat friends.
Some gentleman had given him a bottle of
St. Jacobs Oil which had done him a lot
of good; he only used half the bottle, and
remembering that I had been a martyr to
rheumatism and sciatica for years, that I
had literally tried everything, had doc
tors, and all without benefit, I became dis
couraged, and looked upon it that there was
no help for me. Well," said Pope. "You
may not believe me. for it is a miracle, but
before I had used the contents of the half
bottle of St. Jacobs Oil which poor Bow
man gave me, I was a well man. There it is,
you see, after years of pain, after iming rem
edies, oils, embrocations, horFC liniments,
and spent 'jioncy on doctors without get
ting any better, I was completely cured in
a. few days. 1 bought another bottle, think
ing the pain might come back, but it did
not, so I gai'c the bottle away to a friend
who had a lame back. I can't speak too
highly of this wonderful pain-killer."

non. Judge Wing of the Federal Court
of Cleveland has issued n permanent injunc
tion with costs and damages enjoining a
lawyer named Goicy from the manufacture
and sale of an imitation of CascarctH. Gorey
imitated the boxes, tho shape of the tablet
and used a similar sounding name. Any
dealer who will offer a substitute or say
that Romctliing "is just as good" when Can
carets are called for, does it for the purpose
of making a few cents extra profit, which
must always be at tho expense of the cus
tomer's lieulth.
Cascareta have been advertised freely in
our columns and as the result of making
them known, Casenrets to-day have the
largest hale of any bowel medicine in the
world. They are always packed in metal
boxes with the long tail "C" on tho cover
and each tablet stamped C. C. C. They are
never sold in bull; or from jars. Beaders
are warned against imitations or substitutes
of this meritorious medicine, and if at any
time they have been offered a substitute
or an offer to Bell something "just as good"
when Cascaicts have been asked for, write
direct to the Sterling Remedy Compuny,
New York or Chicago.
