The success which attends the grow- ing of winter wheat in the Canadian Northwest is one of the most surprising of the many surprises that have arisen during recent years regarding the adaptation of plants. When 1 visited southern Alberta in 1003, some mention was made of growing winter wheat by one of the residents of Lethbridge, writes Prof. Thomas Shaw. My attention was at once arrested. Through tate aid of the deputy minister of agriculture for the territories I was able to obtain the address of three or four farmers living at points between Lethbridge and Ed- monton; my Interest In the matter lay 111 the fact as to wilat 1t told about the pos- sible agriculture of the country. Any country that will grow sure crops of clover and oven alfalfa. Any country that will grow these will also grow live stock in good form, and is, therefor., judged from the standpoint of produce. Lion, a gond country to live in. I wrote to the men whose addresses I had re- ceived, and was of course glad to learn of the success. that had attended their efforts to grow this important cereal. WltaL was my surprise on going back to southern Alberta, to fled that n 1414 the crop of winter wheat grown em- braced 0,936 acres, that the average yield per acro was 18.33 bushels for the whole province, and that for central Alberta it was 26.67 bushels per acre. The winter wheal crop in Alberta this year is put at 2,000,000 bushels. i found this crop being regularly grown in the culiirated areas in North- ern Alberta. It has succeeded m the neighborhood of Regina on the main line of the C.t .R., and near Hawley on the Prince Albert branch. It is my conviction, however, that win- ter wheat will come to be grown as a regular crop throughout the greater portion of tillable Alberta, over large portions of central and northern Sas- katchewan, and in certain of the north- ern areas of Manitoba. If the conclusion is correct it will open up a new empire for the growth of winter wheat, as the country referred to in Saskatchewan and Manitoba covers an area of several hunderd mites, from east to west. From Dauphin to Edmonton, the line of the Canadian Northern covers a distance of 647 miles. A CONCRETE FLOOR. The first essential of a good floor is a solid foundation. Upon ibis spread about 4 inches of gravel containing sharp sand, especially in the surface layer. This must be tamped down hard with pounders made for the purpose. A pieco of 2 -inch oak plank 6 inches square with a handle attached answers for ordinary purposes. After the gravel is rammed down solidly and is perfectly level on Lop it Ls ready to receive the concrete. Mix at the rate of four parts of gravel to ono of cement. Nono but the best make of cement should be used. Tho mixture should be only moist enough to dampen the ccmont and gravel. When applied to the floor, 1t must bo tamped down hard into all crevices. 10o much care cannot be takon at this stage of the Work. The grouting should be at least 11 inoh€s thick on the floor for ordinary use to give satisfaction. Where heavy work is to be done on the floor, the thickness should bo con- siderably inoreased. In making a floor of this kind, throe points should be held clearly in mind -a good foundation, best cement and thorough mixing. I have a floor rnade in this way which wes put down 12 years ago. It now has the ap- pearance of lasting a snore of years more. Always such a floor should be allowed to stand for at least a week after being put in place. -P. Wiley. LIVE STOCR NOTES.

SQUEALS. Sows should be mated so they should farrow at about a year old. Pigs must be kept growing every minute to be made prolllablo. The runt pigs will gain more rapidly if permitted to remain with the sow a few days after tho others are turned away Clean out the hog troughs every day if necessary. Troughs half full of litter do not make very desirable places for the pigs to eat out of. Because a hog is a hog is nn reason why he should live all the time in a muss. He will be about the cleanest animal on the farm if you will let him. Tho stunted pigs will make One fat porkers for the meat barrel next winter if singled out now and penned by them- selves where you can give then extra attention. When five to six months old select the choicest sows desired for breeding. Put them in a pasture and supply less car- bonaceous food than those intended for killing market. \Vhen pigs are weaned early they should be taught to eat as 8000 as pos- sible. Otherwise they are apt to suffer from the change in diet and lose 'u weight which means to check in growth. HEALTH HINTS. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous -vegetables. For persons liable to cramp and kin- dred affections of the fingers, knitting le regarded as the most beneficial ex- ercise. In rasa of mental fatigue apples are n wonderful tonic. Apples in some form should be on the table or side- board at all times. Obstinate cases of malaria, that have withstood the ocean voyages, mountain heights and quinine dosing, are said to have been conquered by systematic and continued walking. People who are bilious should not oat hot meats, sweets, rich sauces, cr pastry or cake of any kind. They should drink plenty of water, tutting a glass- ful at night and one the first thing in the morning. PUBLIC BATAS FOR DOGS.

Throe days before the papers an- nounced dm "serious Moues of the [tight honorable the Earl of Arrow - dale," Cyril Buono sat at work upon the beach at Lorient. Ilrittany was anything but a beast- ly place, as Jack Wesley had declar- ed, and theprospectf *olden s.0 t s, e, o 6 deop blue sea and sky, and rugged rocks ought to have tilled Cyr•11's ar- tistic soul with rapture. But the exprossion on his face was anything but rapturous, and be worked at his pietura with the stolid, clogged countenance of a con- vict pursuing his allotted task. Every now and then he stopped painting and stared at the caavaa as If he wore looking through it, and at such times his head sank upon his breast, and what little light road been in his oyes died out, and a bopoless, sick -and -sorry look crept over his handsome faeo; a look which was not good to see on the counten- t r and young, once of a man y g, tic o , with all the world before him It is scarcely necessary to say that at these times ho was thinking of Norah, It would be rather difficult to say when he was not thinking of her; and just as her thoughts of hint were full of problems and unanswer- able enigmas, so were his of her. When a man falls !n love with a girl, ho flatters 1'ltumsolf that at least he knows and understands her na- ture. For instance: If any ono had asked Cyril to describe Norah, he would have summed her up somewhat in this fashion: "Beautiful, truthful, loving, honest as tho day to all the world, and faithful to me unto death]" And this girl, this pearl among women, had quietly and coolly jilt-, ed him; and, had either grown tired of him in a few days, or thrown him over at the behest of her father. The more ho thought of her and her desertion of hien, the more bit- ter he became, tho more puzzled and the more miserable. For, notwith- standing her treatment of him, ho knew that he loved her still -that if she chose to turn to him and whistle him to her side ho most fly to her, and kneel at her feet just ns much her worshipper and slave as he had ever been. In the words of the Persian poet Sadi, he had given his heart to her, anti could not tae it back, Behind him, perched on the can, was the house which Lord Nowell had built for himself, but his lord- ship had gone away and left Cyril solo master. In fact, his lordship had found the young artist so gloomy and morose a companion that he could not stand him for longer than a week, and had flown in self- dofense, Cyril would havo flown, too; quite a hundred times a day he had been assailed by an intenso longing to kick his unfinished picture into the sea and start off somewhere, or any- where; but he had learned something else beside the kack of painting, and that was that for his complaint there was no remedy half so efficacious as hard work. Ho could manage to forget Norah -say, for a quarter of an hour at a time -while he was painting, and he felt that if be throw up his wont and wandered off noth- ing to do but brood over his trouble ho should probably go mad. "Yes. What do you think of it?" "Pretty, very. 1 like the composi- tion. That pion of gt'aygruen is good, decidedly good," Then ha stopped nod looked hard i at it, and wont behind tho easel and stared at the back of it." "What on earth are you looking for?" asked Cyril. •"`alto heart in it," repiiod Jack, ironically, "You may look ell clay and not find it," ho said, bitterly, "because utero is no heart in it. lint never mind the picture, hero, help too with these things, and let us get up to tho house." They shoulderod the carol and things and climbed the beach, talk- ing as they went, and Jack noticed that Cyril talkod continuously, as if 110 ware afraid of a pause. They reached the house, and worn soon soatecl at the meal which served Cyril as dinner and supper combined. "And now tell mo all the news, olcl man," ho said, "Try some of now you aro hoto, I know how I now you are here, I know now 1 have missed you!" "That's nice. In absence the heart grows fonder. Yes, not a bud cigar. News -there is none. Tito house of Commons—" "Hang the house of Commons! I've hoard of your success, Jack, and I .meant to write to yon," he added, rather shamefacedly, "but though I haven't wrltten, you know I'm glad enough. 1 always knew you'd bo famous. The paper I saw tho review of your book in said you wore the coning pont, and for onto a paper olid not lie. And I suppose you are the lion of the all season, and will roar all through tho next ono, Doar old Jack!" "Not much of a lion, I expoct you'll do all the roaring, and none of the rest of us will be ablo to make ourselves heard." "12y -roar will boa whine." I'm good for nothing; a failure of the very first magnitude. Dut go on. Instead of going on, Jack, after a glance at him, looked round the room, which was furnished like a fashionable hunting box, but lined rs-ith pictures, among them being some of Cyril's earlier ones, show- ing that Lord Newall had takon a very solicl fancy to Cyril's worn, "Comfortable quarters you've got. But, by the way, where is Lord Newall, for of course, this is his place? I beg his lordship's pardon for not thinking -' him beforo." "Oh, he's gono. Ho was to have sta.yob for a month, but he found a week of my genial society sufflcieut. Ole llod the festive scene which my cheery presence was rapidly trans- forming into a third-class funeral." "And how did ho litre tho picture?" asked Jack. "I don't think he liked it all, 11 I may judge from his remarks. He observed that it wasn't up to my usual form, and I could have for- given him -if I hadn't felt that ho spoke tho trutitl" "A little off color?" said Jack. "Yes, but I shall bo all right now. I wanted a glimpso of you, old man, that wets what 0 wanted. There will bo some heart in tho daub,now, , you'll see." "And when do you come bank?" "Hover. That Is, I'm not sure. I shan't hurry; I like Ilrittany. It suits me; it's lonely and quiet and—" "Dotter than Santloigh? put in Jack, quietly. "Yes, better than Santteigh. Jack, if you love me, don't mention the place -not to -night, at any rate. There aro chords in the human heart---." "What's the matter with Sant- leigh? I thought the presence of a certain young lady uoautifled it and made it a distinct and precious par- adise." "Por God's sake, don't chaff mo, Jack," ho said, and his voice shook. "II you know "Toll mo all," said Jack, quietly. "Man, I can't" broke out Cyril, in a smothered voice. "It's bad enough to think of; impossible to put into words." "What has happened? Is she dead? "That's a good word, Jack. yes, she is dead -dead to me, at any rate. Jack, I'vo been almost mad. I think if you had not turned up this evon- ing, I really should have gong mel- ancholy silly. Don't say a word, and I'll tell you -I've lost her!" Jack was silent a moment as ho slowly refilled his pipe. "You've lost her?" he said, guide ly, "That boars rather a wide sig- nificance. What do you mean?" "Do you want the proper word In all its vulgar brutality?" asked Cyril almost savagely. "Have it, Omni Shunsebasjilted mot Them, now • you Icnow what's the mattor with me, and why you can't find any lroart in my picture, I'vo no heart to put into it. Yes, sho has jilted int, thrown me over as she would cast aside to worn-out glove, and I'm such a miserable imitation of a, man that Int wearing myself into a shadow over ilei`." Ile laughed bitterly-. "You know what the Spanish' pro- verb says, that 'man was made for woman, and woman wvas mnado for herself, And it is true by ITeatvon! For if sho is false --and sho is -there is not a true, unsellielt woman int tiro world." "'That's rations' a large order," said Jack, timid 11114 breath, "W1ty has rho thrown you cone, lad?" "Ask of the winds that blow at Mon, Why slloutda't rho,: you anoint? 1Rly should the daughter of 011 nail bo fa.iWrftrl to a man who she thinks So, ho worked on silently and moodily. The good people of Lor- ient, who are sociable enough if you rub them the right way, could make nothing of tho young painter who was staying at "milord's" house, The men got nothing to answer to their genial "Bon jour, monsieur," but a growl, and tho girls -most of whom aro terrible pretty -might as well havo cast their smilos at the rocks and stones as bestow theta up- on the handsome young foreigner who did nothing but paint, paint, paint, or tramp, tramp, tramp, up and down tho sea -shore."

"Jack!" "How doth the busy bee? Well, lad, how goes the picture?" "Why, man, whoro did you coma from7" ha demanded. "What on earth brings you hero?"
