10 BUSHELS OF MTS
TO THE ACRE.
WHAT MR. KALTENBRUNNER MAS
TO SAY ABOUT HIS GRAIN
CROPS IN CENTRAL
CANADA.
NATURE
AND A WOMAN'S WOK
Writing from Regina. Saskatche-
wan, Central Canada, Mr. A. Kalten-
brdnoer writes: —
' “Some years ago I took up a home-
stead for myself, and also oue for my
son. The half section which we own
adjoins the Moose Jaw Creek; is a
low. level and heavy land Wo put
lu 70 acrea of wheat In stubble which
went 20 bushels to the acre, and 30
acres of summer fallow, which went
25 bushels to the acre. All the wheat
we harvested this year is No. 1 Hard.
That means 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 sow good wheat you will har-
vest good wheat. We also threshed
9.000 bushels of first class oats out of
160 acrea. 80 acres has been fall
plowing, which yielded 90 bushels
per acre, aud 80 acres stubble, which
wont 30 bushels to the aere. These
cats 'are the best kind that can be
raised. We have shipped three car-
loads of them, and got 53 cents per
bushel clear. All our grain was cut
in the last week of the month of
August before any frost could touch It.
"Notwithstanding the fact that we
have had a late spring, and that the
weather conditions this year were
very adverse and unfavorable, we will
make more money out of our crop
this year than last.
"For myself I feel compelled to say
that Western Canada crops cannot b.»
checked, even by unusual conditions.”

stead lands in Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta may be had on appli-

Agent, whose advertisement appears

tion as to best route and what it will

Returned Him.
A man returned to his native village
after having emigrated to Kansas
some 20 years previous. He asked
cbout different villagers he had
known In the old days, and finally of
the town drunkard of his time.
"Oh, he’s dead," was the reply.
"Well, well; dead and buried Is he?”
"Nope; they didn’t bury him.”
"Didn’t bury him!” exclaimed the
former resident. "Well, then, what
did they do with him?”
"Oh, they jiwt poured him back in
the jug."
LYD
Nature and a woman’s work com-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman’s ills that tbs
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the held to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that ladle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of tlie world a remedy for their pe-
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman’s ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 N.C. St,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the s&ka
of other suffering women I am willing
to make my troubles public.
“ For twelve years I had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ilia.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what I suffered, and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago 1 wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly any that
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound and Mrs. Pinkham’s advice re-
stored health and strength. It ia
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women.”
What Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

15 YEARS OF SUFFERING.
Burning, Painful Sores on Legs-~
Tortured Day and Night—Tried
Many Remedies to No Avail
—Cured by Cuticura.
“After an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
band's legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day I ordered some
Cutleura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and In three weeks all the
Bores were died up. The burning fire
stopped, and the pains became bear-
able. After three months he was quite
well. I can prove this testimonial at
any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert, Upper
Frenchville, Me., July 21, 1907.”
