THE 8T0RY OF A WI8CON8IN
MAN IN WESTERN CANADA.
Three Year* Ago W^rth Only $2,000;
To Day Is Worth \ 13,000.
The following Is a cop/ of a letter,
of which the Agents of the Canadian
Government throughout the United
States receive similar ones many
times during the year:
Cayley, Alta., Dec. 7, 3906.
Agent Canadian Government,
Watertown, 8. D.
Dear Sir:
Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand
and was very glad to hear from you.
3 see that you are still at work per-
suading people to move into the Cana-
dian Northwest. I must tell you that
J owe you many thanks for persuading
me to come out here, am only sorry
that I wasn't persuaded sooner, hnd
there is still plenty of good chances
lor many more right at the present
time. I hope that you will be able to
induce more to make a start out to
this part of the country.
Now I must tell you what I have
accomplished since I came out here
and it won’t be ihree years till the 1st
of July. I shall shortly receive my
patent for my homestead, the hopne-
stead cost me $ 10.00 in all, to-day it is
worth $'10.00 per acre, but it is not for
sale. Then a year ago last May I
bought 220 acres at $7.00 per acre and
sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and
cleared a profit of $4,100.00. How is
that for the Nonhwest? I now have
220 acres of land and all paid for, 15
head of horses, 20 head of cattle, 22
pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens
and other poultry, and all new ma-
chinery and everything is paid for.
We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and
7 in High River. We gave $470 for
1he 15 lots and they are paid for. At
present I consider myself worth $13,-
000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less
than three years ago I had about
$2,000.00. This year I threshed a little
over 4,000 bushels of grain, have
about one thousand bushels of fine
potatoes and about five hundred bush-
els of turnips. Mrs. Belsiegel sold
about $200 worth of garden truck and
poultry this fall. Now there are lots
of others in this community who did
as well as I did in the same length of
time.
The family and myself are all well
lit ihls writing and hope this letter
will find you the same.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) PHILIP BEISIEGEL,
Cayley, Alta., Canada.

A Little Grain Should Be Fed During
the Summer.
Pigs should not be carried through
the summer on clover alone. A little
grain will be required to balance the
green clover. It is claimed by some
that pigs can make just as good growth
on Alfalfa or clover alone as they
would if a little corn were given with
the green forage.
While it may be true that the pigs
will make a profitable growth on al-
falfa or clover, it is not true that they
will do as well on these green feeds
alone as they will if given a little
grain in addition. The grain is needed
to increase the number of pounds of
food elements without corresponding-
ly increasing the amount of dry mat-
ter.
Several years ago the Nebraska sta-
tion made an experiment to learn what
proportion of grain to alfalfa was
needed to make the most economical I
ration for growing pigs. It was found
that the cost of producing 100 pounds
of grain on alfalfa pasture alone, was
about $4.30. On Alfalfa pasture with
an addition of one and one-third '■
pounds of grain the cost of 100 pounds I
of grain was lowered to $2.74 per 100. j
When the grain ration was increased j
to two ami a half pounds per day, the
cost was lowered to $2.45. It can be
seen by feeding only one and a third i
pounds of grain ration per day. the !
cost of producing the 100 pounds of j
gain was lowered nearly one-half. '
While one single test should not be 1
taken as reliable, it certainly shows j
that pigs should not be expected to j
pass the summer without a little grain
ration.

WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK.
Brains ot Mountain and Prairie in De-
mand in the Financial Center.
Ever since the early days, when D.
O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James K
Keene “emigrated” irorn California to
New York, the metropolis has been
drawing largely on the west and south
lor its supply of “men who do things.’
'Jheodore F. Shouts, both a southerner
and westerner, who has undertaken to
solve New York’s great transit prob-
lem. is the latest importation in re-
sponse to the call ol the east.
The promptness with which Tbos F.
Ryan, oi Virginia, turned the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society over to
its policyholders, who now elect a ma-
jority oi its Board of Directors, and
divested himself of the control of the
slock which he bought irom Jas. H.
Hyde, and the success of the new
management oi the Society under the
direction of President Paul Morton
have created a demand for the strong
men of the south aDd west that is
greater than ever before. Under the
Morton management the Equitable has
made a better showing than any other
insurance company in the way of im-
proved methods, economies and in-
creased returns tc policyholders.

poration in the world—the U. S. Steel

A charming hostess of one of the
“big houses.” as they are called by
those wbo are welcomed into them
has the added beauty of premature
white hair. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear lo the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least so it appears in
one iustance of which the hostess her-
sell tells with enjoyment.
The lady is a connoisseur of an-
tiques At one of her leas a debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed a cup of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old The hostess desiring to light-
en the strain on her youthful guest
by a pleasant diverting remark, said:
“That little cup is a hundred and fif-
ty years old!”
“Oh,” came the debutante’s high
strained to'..es: “How careful you
must be to Lave kept it so long!”
Read Charles Dicken*’ Proof*.
Henry Thomas Spindler, who died'
recently at Brentford, England, at the
age of 84, was for many years con-
nected with the old London Sun. He
acted as proofreader to Charles Dick-
ens and possessed many relics of the
great novelist, including proofs with
bit alterations upon them.

in which a colored inaL named Sam

ft unc himself. Sam had had consid-
erable difficulty in evading the on-
slaughts of a clog irom a neighboring
farm. Finally the deg got bun as
Sam kicked at him.
Sam s wife hearing a tremendous
yell, rushed tc the rescue of her bus-’
band. When she came uj the dog had
fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam s
leg and was holding ol for dear life.
Seizing a stone in the read, Sam *

Quality of Meat of Beeves.
The quality of meat of beef animals
Las enormously improved under con-
ditions of high breeding aud high
feeding. This has been in part due
to the lack of exercise which has
made the muscles softer and it has
been in part due to the selection for
breeding of those animals having the
right conformation to insure the best
kind of ituL

Breathless, they stood at last upon
the towering Adirondack peak.

Couldn't Understand the Taste of
His Customers.
Two men were discussing the var-
ious food products now being supplied
in such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said, “I frequently try
a package or so of any certain article
before offering it to my trade, and in
that way sometimes form a different
Idea than my customers have.
“For instance, I thought I would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast I didn't like it and supper
proved the same, so I naturally con-
cluded that my taste was different
from that of the customers who bought
it right along.
“A day or two after, I waited on a
lady who was buying a 25c package
and told her I couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
“ '1 know just what is the matter,'
she said, ‘you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes of that time it simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled;
now il you will have it left to boil full
fifteen minutes after it commences to
boil, you will find a delicious Java-like
beverage, rich in food value of gluten
aDd phosphates, so choice that you
will never abandon it, particularly
when you see the great gain in health.'
Well, 1 took another trial and sure
enough 1 joined the Postum army for
good, and life seems worth living since
3 have gotten rid of my old time stom-
ach and kidney troubles.”
Postum is no sort of medicine, hut
pure liquid food, and this, together
with a relief from coffee worked the
change. “There’s a Reason.”
