How Her I,lfe Was Saved When Bit ten by a I.arft-e Snake. How few jjeople there are who are not afraid of snakes. Not iong ago a harmless little garter snake fell on the wheel of an automobile which was being driven by a woman. The woman promptly fainted and the car, left to its own resources, ran into a stone wall and caused a serious accident. The bite of a poisonous snake needs prompt attention. Mrs. K. M. Fishel, Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa., tells how she saved her life when bit ten by a large snake. “On August 29, 1906, I was bitten on the hand twice by a large copper head snake. Being a distance from any medical aid, as a last resort I used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as tonishment found it killed all pain and was the means of saving my life. 1 am the mother of four children and am never without your LinlmeDt.” Eggs from yearling ducks hatch well, but geese must be about three years old to show strong fertility.

The General Demand j of the Well-Informed of the World has i always been for a simple, pleasant and I efficient liquid laxative remedy of known ^ value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its ex cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed.

New York Journal of Commcrc* and Commercial Bulletin. Of late the news tickers have fre quently announced the "blowing out" of blast furnaces. The stock market Interpreted that to mean that output was being curtailed. And the Interpre tation was correct. But It means more than the man In the street realizes. A succinct description of the costly oper ation is given by Bartlett, Frazier & Carrington In their market magazine: “The fact is that a ‘blowout’ is equiva lent in the Iron trade to a capital oper ation in a hospital. It is the last re sort-necessary, but none the less a disaster and costly remedy in all ways. For example: Here is a furnace repre senting a total investment of about $350,000, capable of producing 300 to 400 tons of pig Iron a day. The lining of the stack cost two months' la bor and $60,000 or more to put in place. Under ordinary conditions it ought to last more than four years. The furnace has been in blast for two years, when, suddenly a squall blows up and the pig iron market collapses. At last he Issues the order, the charging gang stops work, the skip hoist is silent. Gradu ally the hot blast eats up the charge in the stack and the last of the iron Hows from the casting notch. The furnace is 'dead'—blown out. In a few weeks It will be stone cold. “When business demands a resump tion of operations the furnace superin tendent examines the stack. The lining of silica brick and refractory clay blocks—like Moses' coat in the story— is much too good to throw away, but not good enough for a full term of ser vice. To rellne means a waste of say $30,000 now; not to rellne probably will mean a compulsory 'blowout' two years hence, perhaps at a time when idleness will mean loss of profits and diversion of trade. Between the two evils the manager chooses the former. The half worn lining Is torn out, $30,000 is thrown into the scrap, and $60,000 is taken out of the repair fund to buy and install new refractories, tuyers and hearth gear. Two months later the stack is ready for warming up. This is an expensive process, too. The stack is filled up with a blank charge of tim ber, coke, charcoal and stock, and the blast Is turned on very gradually to give the big structure a chance to ex pand, or contract, and to settle down to the business of making pig iron. Very likely this part of the process will cost $5,000. Gradually ore and limestone are added to the charge, and the labora tory chemists are working overtime in their efforts to bring the Iron up to grade. It may be a month before the stack can be made to turn out a uni form quality of pig.” The Sea Fight of the Future. From Harper’s Weekly.

WHAT WINTER WHEAT IS DOING FOR SOUTHERN ALBERTA. Splendid Crop* on the Former Ranching; Plains of C'auudlau Weal. That portion of the country In West ern Canada formerly recognized us ranching country has developed into oue of the best winter wheat districts In the continent. Yields arc quoted running from 30 to 00 bushels to the acre, and giving a return to the farmer of from $25 to $50 per acre. These lands are now selling nt from $12 to $20 per acre, and pay well at that fig ure. H. llowcs, of Magrath, Alberta, Western Canada, had 50 acres of land In wheat, which averaged 45 bushels to the acre; his yield of oats was 35 bushels. The value to him per acre of wheat was $35. J. F. Haycock of the same place says, “I had 05 acres of wheat, 35 acres of oats and 4 acres of barley. My average yield of oats to the acre was 80 bushels; wheat— winter—60 bushels and Ked Fyfe 33 bushels, and barley 50 bushels. The value to me per aere was wheat, $28; oats, $32, and barley, $24.” J. F. Brud shaw, of Magrath, had 1,030 acres of wheat in crop that averaged 39% bush els to the acre, his oats 32 bushels, barley 53 bushels. He threshed 31,000 bushels of wheat from 540 acres. He aiso had 250 tous of sugar beets from 25 acres worth $5.02% per ton. \V. S. Sherod, of Lethbridge, says, ”1 came to Lethbridge from SouriB, North Da kota, in April, 1907, having purchased 900 acres of land In this district lust fall. I hud 128 acres of Alberta Ked Winter wheat, which was put In on breaking In the fall of 1900, which yielded forty-one and a half bushels to the acre, for which I received 87% cents per bushel, which paid me $30.30 per uere. I had 190 acres ’‘stubbled In;” that is, disced In on the stubble, which yielded 22 bushels to the acre at 87% cents per bushel, which paid me $19.25 to the acre. I also had 350 acres of strictly volunteer crop, which it was intended to prepare In the sum mer ; but when it was seen that it was a good-looking crop, it was allowed to go. From this we threshed 15 bushels to the acre, which paid us nt the rate of 87% cents per bushel, or $13.12 per acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742 bushels of first-class wheat. Taking It us a whole, 1 consider that I had a first-class crop all through; and, taking Into consideration the fact of part of the crop having been “stubbled In,” and purt strictly volunteer (which was never touched at all until the binder was put into It) I consider I bad a heavy crop. I might say that I was In North Dakota five years, and 1 never grew as heavy a crop during that time. This is the 25th day of November, and my teams are still ploughing, and from the appearance of the weather, will he for some time yet.” I!. W. Bradshaw, of Magruth, says, "1 had this year 400 acres In crop; viz., 200 acres of wheat and 200 acres in oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 50 bush els, and wheat 22% bushels. The value to mo per acre for wheat was $19 and oats $17. The highest price obtained by me this year or offered me for my grain was for wheat 82 cents per bush el and $1.05 per hundred for oats. I ulso had 100 tons of hay worth $12 per ton, and will say my wheat was all volunteer this year. Lots of wheat Is averaging from 50 to 00 bushels per a<iv on summer fallow, and on new breaking, when tlie breaking was done early in the spring.'* Writing from Spring Coulee, Alberta, W. L. Thomp son says, "1 had this year 3,000 acres In crop; viz.. 2.000 acres of wheat and 1,000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and >f wheat 35 bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $27 and for oats $15.” (Information regarding the districts mentioned, best way to reach them, low rates, certificates, etc., can be se cured from any agent of the Canadian government, whose advertisement ap pears elsewhere.- Ed.)
