WINTER WI F,AT RUSHING NOWIII.
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.
A hen that earns from $1 to $2 a yaar
beyond the cost of her keep is a useful
member of the home community. 'rhoro

There are none of the domestic, ani-
mals that will make suror and quinker
returns to the farmer than sheep, The
cost in feed and labor on a small flock
of sheep is such a small item that rt
would hardly be noticed, and they will
give a larger porcentage of return for
their cost than any other animal on the.
farm.
If you have boon in tho habit of feed-
ing the cows Comment, or corn and cob-
maai, during the winter season, got
'some cottonseed meal and substitute
one pint for a like amount of the corn•

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.
Dresden, Germany has developed n
curious idea, • The public baths of that
city will shortly receive an addition
that is probably without parallel. Tito
new annexe will consist exclusively of
bathing establishments for dogs, or
ganlzed on the strictest lines of class
distinction. There will be first, second
and third class, sub -divided into swim•
ming and single wash -baths. It Is even
gravely stated that there will bo a hair-
dressing department for canine custo-
mers.

CHAPTER XXIX.
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,

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

1Rly should the daughter of 011 nail

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."
They called him "The Silent Eng -
fisher,"
On this particular altornoon he
went on painting and thinking t11l
the fading light warnod him that it
was time to leave oft painting and
take to thinking only, and ho was
just about to rise and put his things
together, when he heard a step 00
tho beach behind him.
Ile did not turn his head, because
when ho slid so, the peasants, who
had occasionally strayed from tho
fields across the beach, would persist
In trying to talk t0 him, and he kept
his byes fixed sullenly beforo him un-
til tho footsbops camp close behind
him and a voice said:
"Good-ovcning, sir."
"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?"
"I will bo merciful and not reply

said Jack, smiling. "le there any

bids 111a to put foot oa Breton

"X -I couldn't toil yen ]tote glad

Cyril, ].tis face flushed with the one
expected pleasure. "I was thinking
of you not ten minutes ago, I was,

"And how unwell ,yon loop, Oyrtll"
lte retorted, smiling still, but With a

"That's a straight question, and

but she was simply famous for her

rather 1lstlessly.
