Mr. Kaliciibruiinor HUM to
Stiy About Ilin Grain Crop * in
Central Canada.
Writing from Uegina , Saskatche
wan , Central Canada , Mr. A.'Kalteu-
brunner writes :
"Some years ago I took up a home
stead for myself , and also one for my
on. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek ; is a low ,
level and heavy land. We put in 70
acres of wheat ' in stubble , \yhk'li went
20 bushels'To the acre , and 30 acres of
summer fallow , which went 25 bushels
to the acre. All the wheat we harvest
ed this year is No. 1 hard. Tliat moans
the best wheat that can be raised on
the earth. We did not sell any wheat
yet , as we intend to keep one part for
our own seed , and sell the other part
to people who want first class seed ,
for there is no doubt if you so\v good
wheat you will harvest good wheat.
We also threshed 9.000 bushels of lirst
class oats out of 1 ( 0 acres ; SO acres
lias been fall piowiii ! : . which yielded DO
imshels per acre , and SO acres stublilu ,
which went 30 bushels to the acre.
These onts are the best kind that can
be raised. We have shipped three car
loads of them , and got f > 3 cents per
toushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of Au
gust before any frost could touch it.
"Notwithstanding the fact that we
bave had a late spring , and that the
weather conditions this year wV ro very
adverse and unfavorable , we will make
more money out of our crop this year
than last.
"For myself I reel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot be
checked , even by unusual conditions. "

Her body was a mass of sores , and her

"The constitution that you find in a
chick comes from the treatment the
mother hen has. Constitution is some
thing tiiat Is born with the animal ,
and you cannot get It into the animal
after It Is born. It comes from in

produces the egg , and if that parent Is
kept in a good state of vigor and
health we are able to get from it an
offspring that will last. "
Ravages of < lie Tick.
Dr. J. II. Wilson , chairman of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Commission ,
places the loss in the South us the re
sult of the ravages of the fever tick at
$24,000,000 annually. This is considered
a very conservative estimate , as the
Joss has been placed at10,000,000 by
other authorities.
These losses are not the result of the
fever , for quarantined cattle do not
have it. The loss is caused by the rav
ages of the tick , which sucks the blood
of the animal and keeps it in an ema
ciated condition , thereby preventing ita
full maturity.
As evidence that the tick Is capable
of reducing cattle to a point where
short pastures and cold rainy weather
during the winter season results In a
heavy mortality , ho has presented fig
ures showing that during 1904 and 1905
the death rate among cattle in the tick
infested area was 8.33 per cent , as com
pared with 3.12 per cent above the na
tional quarantine line , notwithstanding
the fact that the cattle above the line
k- ay- -t-i- it-
encounter severe winters.
Tick eradication seems a necessity if
the Southern cattle grower expects to
receive the full reward of his labor ,
and both the national and state govern
ments should come to the aid of the
cattlemen in their efforts to get rid of
the pest. San Antonio Express.

In an industry. According to'this ' met'a-
od of farming , which is called mezza-
dria , the proprietor of the land pays
all the taxes , advances all money re
quired , furnishes capital -for the pur
chase of cattle and keeps in repair the
dwelling house. The peasant In re
turn works the fields , attends to thu
live stock and to other home indus
tries , sells the products In short , is

Testing : Seeds for the Farm.
The other day a rascal was found to
have made a small fortune by chopping
up palm leaf fans and selling the stuff
at a dollar a packet , containing a pincher
or two of the precious dust which was
said to be the seed of a rare exotic
flower. So writes AY. G. Fitz-Gerald in
the Technical World Magazine.
He advertised widely , and numbered
professional florists among his victims.
True , he disclaimed responsibility for
the germinating power of his "seed , "
but this is a common warning even on
the wares of reputable seedsmen , so
that the buyers planted , watched and
watered with pathetic zeal until at
length an angry lady laid the swindler
by the heels.
Now farm and flower seed of tha
highest quality is costly stuff. So min
ute Is that of the calceolaria that the
actual cost of producing the finest
strain exceeds ten times the weight of
the seed in 'purest gold. Mignonette
seed , too is by no means cheap , yet that
of the begonia is at least sixty times
dearer ; and a liberal allowance for a
$2 packet is measured in a tiny spoon
with an outside diameter of three-six
teenths of an inch. And yet In that
small spoonful there will be enough
seed to produce more than 100 stately
begonia plants.

careful testing seeds undergo at the
hands of the government inspectors ,

Farming Old and IS'crr.
When the late Robert G. Ingersoll
was a farmer boy In Wisconsin the
farm was not the place It is now. He
has left a description of early rural
life as he recalled it :
"They used to haul wheat twenty
miles in wagons and sell it for 35 cents
a bushel. They would bring home
about 300 feet of lumber , two bunches
of shingles , a barrel of salt and a cook
stove that never would draw and never
did bake. In those blessed days the
people liven on corn and bacon. They
had poor houses. The rain held the
roofs in perfect contempt , and the snow
drifted joyfully on the floors and beds.
They had no barns. The horses were
kept in rail pens surrounded with
straw. Long before spring the sides
would be eaten away and nothing
would be left but the roof. Every
thing was done In the hardest way.
Everything about the farm was dlsa-
greable. Nearly every fanner's boy
took an oath that he would never cul
tivate the soil. The moment they ar
rived at the age of 21 they left the desolate
elate and dreary farms and rushed to
the towns and cities. "
Those were the days before farming
was a science. Now the bright youth
Intended for agriculture takes at least
the short course at the university. He
learns things about soils and crops and
the selection and care of stock that the
old-time farmers never dreamed of. &e
farms not by the sweat of his brow ,
but by the aid of machinery. The farm
is equipped with commodious buildings ,
and the farmhouse Is a comfortable
home , sometimes with pretensions to
architecture. It- has a telephone and
it may be heated with hot water. There
is a rural delivery mall box not far
from the front door , and good roads fa
cilitate the easy transportation of the
product of the farm to a not" distant
railway station.
The Western farmer of to-day is one
of the most prosperous and Independent
citizens of the republic.
Wisconsin boy ? of this generation
should think twice before they desert
