Hon. Thomas Greenway , Premier of
* ho Province of Manitoba , one of the
foremost farmers of Western Canada ,
writes an excellent article to the press ,
from which the following extracts are
made :
The writer came to Manitoba from
Ontario in the autumn of 1878 , and has
ver alnce been engaged In agricul
tural pursuits. From the day , nearly
jtwenty-two years ago , when he select-
fed his homestead , he has had unbound-
led faith In the country as a place
fwhere farming can be successfully car
ried on , if pursued upon proper lines.
There la a large number in this prov
ince who should rather be called
"wheat-growers" than farmers. On
account of the facilities , natural ad
vantages , and therefore cheapness
.with which wheat can be grown , no
doubt many have done exceedingly
well by raising wheat only ; still , it is
( far from ideal farming. Not only
jwill such a course , if persisted in , have
the effect of causing the land to run
out , as has been the experience of
those who pursued the same plan in
the wheat-producing prairie States to
the south of us , but it is far from be
ing the most profitable course to
( adopt.
This fact is already being demon-
] Btrated in Manitoba. Let the farms in
( this Western country be managed upon
jtlio lines which were successful in the
( Eastern Provinces , and much more
can be done here in a given time than
was ever done in the East. The proba
bilities of failure are practically nil.
( Upon the farm there should be found
Ihorses , cattle , sheep , hogs and poultry ,
( according to the ability of the farmer ,
iwith respect to his means and the ex-
Itent of "his'holding. The wanton waste
jwhich has hitherto been practiced by
jmany farmers , that of burning vast
quantities of excellent fodder after
threshing is done , should cease ; it
{ should all be used upon the farm and
converted into the old , sensible kind
of fertilizer manure , and afterwards
be returned to the soil , so that what
has been taken from it by the crop
may be restored. Although admitting
that the great natural fertility of the
soil in Manitoba and the success that
lias attended the growing of wheat
after wheat for years upon the same
land have a tendency to make such a
course as the one mentioned tempting ,
yet , if continued , wheat growing upon
the same land year after year is un
doubtedly a mistake.
' The writer knows of no country that
jouers advantages so great to the agri-
iculturist as does Manitoba. The va-
'rious ' branches of farming can be carried -
| ried on successfully , as twenty-two
( years of practical operations and ob-
Jservations of what others are doing
lhave proven. To those desiring to
'make new homes for themselves , the
flow price of some of the best lands in
he world ( although rapidly advancing
in price this year ) offers still great
( opportunities. To all such the invita-
'tion is cordially given to "Come and
isee. " There need be no poor people
ihere. There is land for all who choose
ito come , land upon which happy
{ homes can be established , and from
[ Which ample resources can be gathered -
, ed against old age. All that a man
needs to achieve competence in this
domain is common sense and industry.
With these qualifications he is bound
to succeed.

The new committee on apportion
ment in the senate reported to the'
general file with the recommendation
that it be passed , senate file 235 , by
Snator Steele , providing for the di
vision of Nebraska into fifteen judi
cial districts. The bill bears but lit
tle resemblance to the one originally
introduced by Senator Steele , it being
made up of bills introduced by both
Senators Steele and Oleson. The bill
makes Douglas county a complete dis
trict and provides it with six judges.
With the adjournment of the legis
lature almost in sight the senate has
recently resolved itself into a hard
working body and is disposing of the
large amount of work staring it in the
face in an unusually rapid manner.
An indication that the end of the pres
ent session is nearing is the action
take by the senate in naming a com
mittee on final adjournment to confer
with a similar committee named by
the house.
The osteopaths of Nebraska have
renewed their efforts in behalf of the
passage of the bill prepared by them
early in the session , but which was
temporarily laid aside. The bill is on
the general file. The Christian Science
bill may also come up in the near fu
ture.

AFTER-EFFECTS
OF LA GRIPPE.
after-effects of the grip are often disastrous. It is commonly
THE to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments
follow apt to be more serious
and complications which the grip are
than the acute stage of the disease. +
Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confinea
to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable ,
disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating
remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them
can compare in results with Peruna. .
Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course or
Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about it.
Washington , Feb. 4 , 1899.

Grip Produces Catarrh.
Henry Dlstin , the inventor and

llamsport , Pa. , writes :

Philadelphia , Pa. , May 6 , 1899.
Dr. S. B. Hartman , Dear Sir : "I
write to inform you that I had a bad
attack of la grippe last December
which lasted more than three months
and which left me with catarrh , when
several of my friends advised me to
try your wonderful medicine , Peruna.
I began with a bottle the first week in
March and it certainly did me a great
deal of good. I was so well satisfied
that I purchased another bottle and
followed your directions , which you
furnish with every bottle , and I am
glad to say that it has cured me. I
shall certainly recommend the Peruna
to all my friends. "

DYSPEPSIA , "Following a severe
attack of la grippe I
seemed to be affected badly all over.
I suffered with a severe backache , indi
gestion and numerous ills , so I could
neither eat nor sleep , and I thought I
would give up my work , which I could
not afford to do.
"One of my customers who was
greatly helped by Peruna advised mete
to try it , and I procured a bottle the
same day. I used it faithfully and
felt a marked improvement. During
the next two months I took five bottles -
tles ; and then felt splendid. Now my
head is clear , my nerves are steady , I
enjoy food , and rest well. Peruna has
been worth a dollar a dose to me. "

Just What They Wanted
Some time ago a militia regiment in
North Carolina decided to have a
Latin motto on its flag , and a wicked
wag persuaded the committee in
charge of the matter to adopt the fol
lowing : "Nunquam animus , sed ignis
via. " For the benefit of those not fa
miliar with Latin , it should be ex
plained that , though these are good
Latin words , the sentence as a whole
has no meaning , but when the words
are literally translated , "Never mi ad.
but fire away , " makes a fairly good
regimental motto.
Wasn't a Doctor of Medicine.
Dr. William Pole , the authority on
whist , who died the other day , was not
a doctor of medicine , but a civil engi
neer , who received his degree from
Oxford. He wrote a treatise on the
method by which the eye discriminates
color , although lie was himself color
blind. This dissertation caused him
to be elected a fellow of the Royal

Grip Poisoned Her Blood.
Mrs. T. W. Collins , Treasurer of the
Independent Order of Good Templars
of Everett , Wash. , writes :
"After having a severe attack of la
grippe I continued in a feeble condi
tion even after the doctor called me
cured. My blood seemed poisoned.
"I also suffered with dyspepsia , and
had either to starve or suffer from
what I was eating. A neighbor who was
using Peruna praised it so highly that
she induced me to try it , and I soon ,
found this was what I really needed.
"I could soon eat my regular meals
with relish , my system was built up ,
my health returned , and I have re
mained in excellent strength and vigor
now for over two years. " Mrs. T. W.
Collins.

I did not get as strong as I was before.
"In the fall I caught cold after get

followed , and as I was in a weak con

Peruna and I did so and found it all

only cured me of the catarrh , but re
stored me to perfect health. " Alice
