Al berta, Canada, formerly of Washing ton, to a friend in the United States, is only one of a hundred similar caser. and what was done by Mr. Cummings can more easily be done today by any good, sober and industrious farmer who chooses to make his home in the dominion. Dear Sir: You man, to know now I got along since 1 came Into Northern Alberta. I am happy to inform you that I am not ashamed to tell. We located tve miles northeast of Wetasklwia; left Farmington, Wash., on the 29th day of May. driving all the way. We had time to build our leg house the first fall, and to make us comfortable for the family and stock. We then built four stables, 18x 20 inside, so that we could put every thing inside them when the cold got down to the fifties, and worked hard getting up the stables, and got through dubbing on the 1st of December; but, to our surprise, we had no use for the stables only for the milk cow and two spans of horses. The balance of the horses lived on the prairie all winter, and took care of themselves. The doors of two stables were left open for them to go into in a cold time, but they would not do it, but stayed out on the prairie the coldest night we had and looked as spry as crickets. 1 can go ten rods back of my house and count ten residents. I know all of their circumstances. Every one of them have doubled their cultivated land, and doubled their animals, and a great deal more. All of us are com paratively out of debt and an unusual ly big crop to thresh and prospects of a fair price, and I expect we are as well contented a lot of people as there Is to be found from Florida to the Klondike. My son bought two pounds of twine to the acre, and when we started to bad some barley we found that in stead of taking two pounds to the acre, it was taking nearly five pounds. Then you ought to have seen him hitch up a team and make for town for 100 pounds more. I cannot say how it will thresh. .All I can say is that it is well-headed, and takes an enormous amount of twine. See what a man does, mark his mo tives, examine in what he reads; how can a man conceal his character? If you have not tried Magnetic Starch try it now. You will then use no other. Sea Port. The memory of man runneth not back of the time when seaport towns and cities did not exist, thrive and flourish. There is a new and promis ing one growing up down south which bids fair to soon enjoy great commerce. It is La Porte, at the head of Gal veston Bay on the gulf coast of Texas. A magnificent natural land-locked harbor already exists and extensive docks, wharfs and terminals are being constructed. The government is to deepen Galveston Bay. affording a 26 foot channel into the splendid fresh water harbor bay of San Jacinto. As Newport News is to the Atlantic coast, and Duluth and Superior are to the inland seas, so La Porte is to be to the south. Men of principle are sure to be bold, but those who are bold may not always be men of principle. Important to mothers.

At the last annual meeting of. the American Galloway Breeders' associa tion, Mr. O. H. Swigsxt of Illinois read a paper on in-breeding in wlich he showed the evtL effects ot closer in breeding as demonstrated by experi ments made by Darwin and others in the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and enforced his argument by a long list of great winners in the great cat tle show rings in whose pedigrees -no ancestor appeared twice, such as Bns sanio, Clark's old bull. Pauline, win ner at Omaha, Presidio King. Duke Walter, etc. He said in closing his paper: "While under certain clrcumsiances it may be a good thing to in-breed. and I would always in-breed in prefer ence to using an inferior animal, still I take it as a good omen ot the "-future of the Galloways that our win ners are not all descended from one sire like the favorites in the Short horns. While some of our breeders have resorted to in-breeding, they have not been sufficiently successful to encourage them to enter the lists against those diversely bred. White 1 would not advise departing from the Galloway type, still, let us be sure our ideal of the type is correct and keep nothing our judgment tells jus is bad even though told it is a race characteristic Never hesitate to make a change when improvement is called for. The best is none too good. Only the most careful selection will secure the best" Some discussion followed the paper. .Mr. J. M. Lowe said: "1 do not be lieve a little bit in practicing in breeding. In the bands of such . a genius as Bates was thought to beit might be practiced to a limited ex tent, but the majority of us ought never to seek It in my judgment 1 think it has resulted in deterioration in other breeds .of cattle and the same result must be produced in all breeds." Mr. E. W. Thrall said: "As tne Galloways have been for untold gen erations in their native land, in-breeding would necessarily occur to a great extent there, and I have no doubt that the Galloway in his native country has been greatly hurt by that process; but, as Mr. Swigart intimates in ons portion of his paper, a change from one land to another, the different en vironment by which those herds were surrounded would give different char acteristics to those cattle. Now when we have the cattle on thia side of the ocean and have breeders who are breeding these cattle in the north and south, the east and the west, we can take advantage of all those different environments, and surely from this time on there will be no excuse fet what Mr. Swigart regards as one of the most dangerous experiments for Galloway breeders to make." Value or Leg-aaalaewa Plants. The Tennessee Experiment Station has been studying the leguminous plants, clover, beans, peas, alfalfa, soja beans, locust, vetches, wild pea vines, etc., and the best methods of us ing them for improving the soil and feeding stock. - The microbes occur in most fertile soils and multiply when their own plant is presenL The special microbe may be introduced by distributing soil in which this plant has grown success fully. For example. If clover does not grow well on a suitable soil, take the fine earth, one to three inches from the surface of a field where it hts grown well, distribute and work into the soil. Freezing, drouth, and kainite kill the.-e microbes. Cultivating one leguminous plant upon the soil seems to run out the microbes of the others. For example, when cow-peas have been long cultivated in a field it may be necessary to introduce the clover mi crobe. "Clover-sick" probably results from the increase of humfc acids which kill the clover microbes. Lime cor rects this. In nature the balance of nitrogen in the soil is kept up by wild legumin ous slants like locusts, wild pease. vetches, beggar-lice, etc. In farm prac tice, when we grow non-leguminous plants, we must keep up the balance of nitrogen by using legumes In our ro tation. The best legumes for us to use are cow-peas, clover, alfalfa, soja beans, beans, and pease. Cow-pease are best sown in the spring, though if the season is favor able they may be sown as late as July 1. Two bushels per acre may be plow ed or harrowed in; if the land is thin, use 200 pounds acid phosphate, and 25 to 50 pounds per acre oi muriate oi potash. The vines in October contain one and one-half to two and one-half. per cent nitrogen: if left on the ground till January only seventy-five hun dredths per cent. If we leave them to rot on the soil we lose, thus, one-half to two-thirds of the nitrogen; if we plow under we still lose a great deal. Better make them into hay for silage. If not fed, lbs best plan is to plow under in early fall and plant a grain, crop, wheat or oats, which will ab sorb that part which would be lost Preparations for a Strawberry Bed. Every small fruit grower should plan his work in advance two or three years, and be his own nurseryman and " propagate his plants so as to get the very best results. Strawberry plants should be grown in a special plat from carefully selected plants, which show a tendency to form strong fruit buds. The propagating bed should be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture immediately after the plants are set using the atomizer sprayer so it will go to the nlants in the finest mist It will de stroy every spore of rust and leave the foliage as clear and waxy as the new est growth. For several years I tried to eliminate this disease by selecting plants that would resist it We all know It is a fungus growth and under favorable climatic conditions will spread very rapidly. Some varieties are more sus rentibie to it than others and these are our most productive sorts when kept free from it This year we have sprayed every ten days, using a cart with an Eclipse barrel pump sprayer, with three nozzles.' taking three rows at a time. The other day I offered a visitor a dollar each for every leaf he could find on the farm containing a live spot of rust Although diligent search was made he did not replenish bis bank ac count by finding a single leaf. It is well known that strong fruit buds or roots cannot be secured witheat healthy foliage and plenty of it Rust is propagated by spores and if all taesa are killed in the propagating bed we hall hats little fear of our crop being lessened or destroyed by It In the frmlt iag feld. Another advantage ot propagating plants la a special bed Is that they can be kept dorssaat by mulching lightly as soon as the ground Is frozen slightly and then ia mid-winter when the. groond Is frozen deepest, cover several Inches thick with lae chaff. Ton can thus keep the frost in the ground and prevent them from starting until your beds are plowed and fitted. No matter how hot the sun may be, a dormant plant set in the ground will grow vig orously, where one loaded with a mass of green foliage would surely perish. Another feature of the propagating bed is the blossom buds should be removed before they are open so as to prevent the great strain ot pollen secretions at a time when they have no roots to sus tain them. Potency of pollen is of the utmost importance in the development of fruit and a plant once exhausted does not soon recover. The cost of re moving the buds is no more than when done at a later time and you will find results very satisfactory. R. M. Kel logg. The ToUet of a Chryeatlieaaiae. Probably few of the people who attend the Chicago Flower Show, realize that it takes three hours some times to make the toilet of a single rare specimen of the chrysanthemum. One would hardly believe It but here is the process of dressing a single flow er, and Imagine the care, patience and gentleness of touch required. One look at an ordinary chrysanthemum, or a fine one in deshabille will show that there is a hole at the center ot the blossom and that the petals straggle in all directions, up and down, rigm and left It looks like a lazy boy who has "forgotten" to comb his hair. The flower-hairdresser has his combs and brushes, but the combs are pincers of various sizes and the brushes ot the softest camel's hair. Suppose that the florist has suc ceeded in growing some fine specimens of that huge variety. "My Lady," some blossoms of which have measured four teen inches in diameter. He cuts the blossom with a long stem, so that he can handle It well. Then he places it in a high glass vase with a broad base, but over the top of the vase is what looks like the socket of a candle stick with a hole in it The stem passes through this hole and down into the vase until the lower petals of the blossom rest on the zinc support, but not too firmly. Before putting the flower Into the vase to keep It from wilting under the long operation, he has performed the roughest part of the work. This consists in pulling out with the pincers enough petals around the center of the blossom to permit the others to close over that part He is careful to remove any worms, or de fective, discolored petals and then he begins the "combing process," the most tedious part of all. With the less rare varieties, which do not take so long, this Is all done rapidly, but gently, while the stem is held In the hand, but with "My Lady," who Is too aristo cratic to have her temper so tried for three long hours, this part of the work is done while she drinks refreshing moisture in the vase. One by one each petal is put in place so that the contour of the blossom wilt be either a perfect circle or a star of many rays. If any petal prove too ob durate to stay in place It Is pulled out by a gentle jerk with the pincers. Cob Charcoal. Now that we are in earnest begin ning to transform our fine corn crop into pork for the market, it is well to bear In mind the value of charcoal as a relish and medicine for hogs. Every farmer who has noticed his hogs eat ing charred wood from the brush pile, even before they were cool, must have come to the conclusion that charcoal is good for hogs. It is not necessary for us to state just why it is good. The admitted fact is enough to know at present; the more important question is how to get the charcoal the easiest, and the answer is "Through burnt cobs." says Wallace's Farmer. It will pay every farmer to make a pit in his barnyard a couple of feet square and as many deep, start in it a good fire, and fill it gradually with dry corn cobs, and when it has reached the proper point smother it out by cover ing it over with a piece of sheet iron, putting some dirt around the edges. Practice will furnish any man with the "know how" to do it. After it has been entirely smothered out, add salt, and a little lime and wood ashes if convenient, and .keep more or less of this mixture within reach of the hogs at all times in the winter season. They will eat large quantities of it, and its benefit will be evident in the thrift of the growing pigs. It will not only aid digestion, but add materially to the development of bone, one of the things greatly to be desired, especially in hogs. The beauty of this kind of charcoal is that it costs nothing but a little application of brains, a little work, and a little salt and lime, and there is no article ot feed grown on the farm that costs so little and pays as large dividends on its cost If this is too much bother, rake up a pile of cobs, char them, and see how greedy hogs are to get at them, then go and dig your pit and have a supply for the winter, when cobs that are lying around on the farm will be too wet to burn. The Air Taber. This is the name given to Dioscorea bulblfera, now raised in New Orleans and about there. The plant is a closu relative of what Is known as the Cin namon Vine, which is Dioscorea ba tatas, and which is cultivated as a climbing vine with sweet smelling flowers, and which at one time was thought would prove a substitute for the potato. A Mr. Normand in the Rural New Yorker, says this about D. bulbifera: "After testing it for two years on my experiment grounds, I find it equal to the Irish potato, with the required seasoning. The plants produce much more than those of the Irish potato on the same space ot land. It matures its tubers during the summer, and con tinues until frost The tubers are formed in the axils of each leaf, and to see a vine in full bearing is a sight to behold. Some of them are quite large. An analysis of the tuber made by the assistant chemist of our state experiment station, shows that It con tains protein. 1.82 per cent; fat .55; carbohydrates, 20.70. In carbohydrates it compares favorably with beans, sweet potatoes, peanuts and Irish po tatoes. "The tubers are a curiosity on ac count ot their various forms. They look like petrified rocks of a gray sil very color, of the most Intricate carved stone work. They suggest the missing link between the vegetable and animal kingdom."

This journal, although more particu larly devoted to all that Interests finance, commerce and manufactur ing, is nevertheless always awake to the need and wants of Its readers, let the subject be what It ma)-. We were asked to investigate and report upon the merits of the various catarrh reme dies on the market The production of preparations of injurious composi tion cannot, unfortunately, be stopped or restricted at present, or until our state legislatures can be induced to pass such suitable and strlngant laws as will effectually prevent their ap pearance on the market In the mean time, the people must look out for themselves. In this matter, we have made a most careful and painstaking investigation, realizing the confidence that would be placed in our reply. Our medical staff employed to make such investigations were most favorably impressed with the preparation known as Hall's catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. of Toledo, Ohio, and agreed that this peerless remedy deserves our highest indorsement Many of the catarrh remedies on the market contain mercury, which de stroys the sense of smell and deranges the whole system when entering through the mucous surfaces. From analysis we found that Hal'.'s catarrh cure contains no mercury. It is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem. We have no interest whatever in this matter beyond faithfully serv ing our readers, and as our indorse ment Is extended without reward of anv Irinri nnri Is wrhnllv unsolicited by this company, and will be received with the full credence that all our statements have met with for the past eighteen years.

This treatment at once stops falling hair, removes crusts, scales, and dandruff, soothes irritated, itching surfaces, stimulates the hair follicles, supplies the roots with energy and nourishment, and makes the hair grow upon a sweet, wholesome, healthy scalp when all else fails. Millions of Women Use Ccticcra Soap exclusively for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scale, and dandruff, nnd the stop ping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing, red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations and chafing?, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes for ulcerative weak nesses, and for many antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce thoe who have onca used'it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children.
