WHAT WINTER WHEAT It DOINO
PON SOUTHERN ALBERTA.
•plendid Crop* on the Wmmm Ranch-
ing Plain* of Canadian West.
That portion of the country In Wee-
t*rn Canada formerly recognised aa
" ranching country haa developed Into
one of the best winter wheat dlstricta
Id the continent Yields are quoted
running from 30 to 60 bushels to the
acre, and giving a return to the farmer
ob from $25 to $60 per acre. These
lands are now selling at from 111 to
$20 per acre, and pay wen at that
figure. H. Howes of Magrath, Alberta,
Western Canada, had 60 acres of Ihnd
In wheat, which averaged 46 buahels
to the acre; his yield of oats waa 88
bushels. The value tp him per acre
of wheat waa $88.00. J. F. Haycock
of the same place, says: "I had 66
acres of wheat, 86 acres of oats and
four acres of barley. My average yield
of oats to the acre waa 80 bushels;
wheat—wlnte?—66 buahels and red
fyfe, 33 bushela, and barley, 60 bush-
els. The value to me per acre wai,
wheat, $28.00; oata, $82.00, and bar
ley, $24.00." J. F. Bradshaw of Ma-
grath, had 1,030 acrea of wheat In crop
that averaged 394 bushels to the
acre, his oats, 32 bushels; barley, 63
bushels. He threshed 31,000 bushels
of wheat from 640 acres. He also had
260 tons of sugar beets from 25 acres
worth $5.62% per ton. W. S. Sherod,
of Lethbrldge, says: "I came to Leth-
brldge from Sourls, North Dakota, in
April, 1907, having purchased 900
acres of land in this district last fall.
I had 128 acres of Alberta Red winter
wheat which was put In on breaking In
the fall of 1906, which yielded 41%
bushels to the acre, for which I re-
ceived 87 % cents per bushel, which
paid me $36.30 per acre. 1 had 190
acres "etubbled In" that Is disced
in on the stubble, which yielded 22
bushels to the acre at 87% cents per
bushel, which paid me $19.26 to the
acre. I also had 350 acres of strictly
volunteer crop, which it was Intended
to prepare in the summer; 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 at the rate of 87%
cents per bushel or $18.12 per acre.
Our total crop yielded ua 14,742 bush-
els of first-class wheat Taking It as
a whole, I consider that 1 had a first
class crop all through; and, taking in
to consideration the fact of part of the
crop having been "stubbled In," and
part strictly volunteer ^ (which was
never touched at all until the binder
was put into It), I consider I had a
heavy crop. I might say that I was
in North Dakota five years, and I
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, wl'.l be for some time
yet" R. W. Bradshaw of Magrath,
says: "I had this year 400 acres In
crop, via.: 200 acres of wheat and 200
acres in oats. My average yield of
oats to the acre waa 80 bushels, and
wheat 22% bushels. The value to me
per acre for wheat waa 918.00, and
oata, 917.00. The highest price ob-
tained by me this year or offered me
for my grain waa for wheat 82 cents
per bushel, and 9106 per hundred for
oats. I also bad 100 tons of hay
worth 912 06 per tea, and will aay my
wheat was all volunteer this year.
Lots of wheat Is averaging from 50 to
60 bushels per acre oa summer fallow,
and on new breaking, when the break-
ing was done early In the spring."
Writing from Spring Coulee, Alberta,
W. L. Thompson says: "I had this year
3.000 acres In crop, vis.: 2,000 acres of
wheat and 1.000 acres of oats. My
average yield of oats to the acre was
SO bushels and ef wheat S6 bushels.
The value to me per acre for wheat
was $27.00 and for oats $18.00."

A WELL MAN, AY ti.
Tht Interesting Experience of an Old
Settler of Virginia.
. Daniel 8. Queen, Burrell Street,
Salem; Va., says: "Years ago while
lifting a heavy
weight a audden
pain shot through
my back and after
that I was in con-
stant misery from
kldpey trouble. One
apell kept me in bed
aix weeks. My arms
and legs were stiff
and 1 was helpless aa a child. The
urine was discolored and though I
used one remedy after another, I waa
not helped until I used Doan's Kidney
Pills, and I was ao bad then that the
first box made only a slight change.
To-day, however, I am a well man, at
81, and I owe my life and health to the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills."

Old Man's Thrift That Led Him Into
Ridiculous Action.
President J. G. Schurman of Cornell
was discussing elective college
courses, of which In the freshman and
sophomore years, he disapproves.
"A freshman of 16 or 17," said Pres-
ident Schurman, "Is too young to
choose for himself the courses best
for him. His mind Is not mature
enough. It will make mistakes.
"In its Immaturity, Its pronenesa to
error, it is like the mind of an old
m«n in my native Freetown. He,
though old, was mentally undeveloped,
and aaw nothing wrong or ridiculous
in a piece of economy that be put In
practice in the cemetery.
"The old man had lost four wives,
and desired to erect for each a head-
atone, with an Inscription commemora-
tive of her wifely vlrtuea.
"But Inscriptions, he found, were
very expensive. He economised In
this way:
"He had the Christian name of each
wife cut on a small stone above her
grave—"Emma." "Mary," "Hester,"
"Edith." Under each name a hand
pointed to a largo stone In the cen-
ter of the lot, and under each hand
were the words:
'For epitaph see large stone.'"
