MAKES $100,090 IN HIS 22 YEARS OF' CANADIAN FARMING "In the 22 years on the farm in 'Canada I made about $100,000," says Conrad Lanz, of Rothern, Saskatche- wan, a native of Plymouth, Neb,, in sa letter to the Canadian government agent at Saint Paul, Minn. "When I 'First came to Canada I raised wheat -only, but later went into mixed farming," he continues. "I have grown wheat that yielded as high as Ta�6 bushels per acre of No. 1; oats as high as 100 bushels to the acre, sand barley as high as 75 bushels."

Latulippe Suffered With Kid- ney Trouble and Found Dodd's Kidney Pills Very B,eneficial. Lambton, P. G., March 24.—(Special "I 'have suffered with my kidneys sand have passed many nights without being able to turn in my bed," writes Mr. C. Latulippe, a well known resi- dent of this place. "I have taken three boxes ofDodd's Kidney Pills and they have completely relieved me. I always keep a lox in the house and take them from time to time." Mr. Latulippe's trouble came from the kidneys as is evidenced by the relief he got from Dodd's Kidney !sills. When the Kidneys become clogged or gout of order, the circulation beco'nes sluggish, the impurities are not strain- ed curt of the blood and the result is weariness and lack of energy all over the body. This condition is not only disagreeable but dangerous as well. `The impurities in the blood are the Reds of disease.

ANOTHER DIAMOND RUSH IN SOUTH AFRICA i What has been called, `with pictur- esque inaccuracy, "The Last Rush," recently took place in the Lichtenberg region of South Africa, where thou- sands of, eager prospectors, at the crack •of a pistol, set off at top speed for a new diamond field, three miles away. A short time before there was a false start which resulted in the Mining Commissioner calling all the prospectors back, and starting them again. Many of those who took part were crack distance runners, import- ed 'from Australia, and other parts of South Africa. They represented prospectors who paid them a hand- some sum for staking out early claims, and also promised to pay them a percentage on any diam- onds subsequently found. It is not likely that this really was the last rush to dig diamonds, unless we are to assume that all the diamond re- gions of the world are already known and occupied. It is a bit rash to make this assumption, for it is not sixty years ago since the great South African fields were dis- covered. There are more diamonds lying in the earth than the present generation of geologists and pros- pectors know about, and there will be rushes to dig them out in fu- ture generations. A diamond claim is now ander- Stood to be a square thirty feet by thirty feet. The farmer on whose lands diamonds are found is re- quired to report the matter to the Government. FIe is then given the privilege of staking out 200 claims of his own before the rush begins, and these he can work for himself or auction to the highest bidder. He also receives 50 per cent. of the license fee of five shillings which everybody must pay before he is en- titled to dig. A plot thirty feet square of alluvial soil might easily disclose diamonds worth millions of dollars, and if surface digging and washing did not tua-n up anything of value, the average prospector would not trouble about deep dig- ging. This would not be feasible on such a narrow plot. If a field showed sufficient richness it would be necessary for the holders of per- mits to combine to sink shafts or to sell out to a mining company with the necessary equipment and capi- tal to make a thorough investiga- tion of the earth far beneath the surface. oft was in one of these open cut mines, as they are called, huge open pits, blasted and dug to a greath depth, that the greatest of all diamonds, the Cullinan, was found. It weighed in its rough state about a pound and three quarters and when cut furnished four extraordinary stones, five others of great beauty and some smaller ones, the total value having been estimated at be- tween $3,000,000 and $5,000,000. The largest of them are part of the Brit- ish Crown jewels. In 1867 a Dutch farmer named Daniel Jacobs dwelt on the banks of the Orange River. Father, mother and a brood of children, lived and ate in a single room and snoozed and snorted in a single rawhide corded led. The youngsters, as they wan- dered over the farm and particular- ly along the low hanks of the river, found many blink klippe or• "shiney stones" as they called them. They were of all colors and degrees of brightness, some of them being lure white and very hard. They were all amusing to the children who used to carry them in the house and in the absence of other toys play with them for hours. One 'blinke klippe excel- led all the others in brightness and was a particular favorite. One day Jacobs told a neighbor about the bright white stone, and somewhat ex- cited his interest. He thought it might just possibly be a diamond and as he was always ready to take a chance he determined to get hold of the stone. So he went to Jacobs' farm and demanded to see it. There was a search for it but it could not be found. Then it was disclosed that Frau Jacobs, tired of seeing it about, had thrown it out in the vegetable garden. The children were then sent hunt- ing for it and in half an hour its gleam revealed its whereabouts. The neighbor examined it solemnly and after considerable dickering became the possessor of the stone for a yoke of oxen and a plow. The neighbor held the stone fbr some time before disposing of it to an Irishman named John O'Reilly, who took a chance in the belief that the pebble was really a 21 -carat diamond. He paid 1500 for it and later a geologist confirmed his guess and told him he had made a good bargain. The geologist also expressed the opinion that a search of the Jacobs' farm might reveal other stones. News of the find got abroad but the geologist was gener- ally ridiculed. It was said that un- doubtedly this diamond had been brought in the crop of an ostrich from some distant point. It was mani- festly absurd that on the farm of such an undistingui'shed farmer as Jacobs real diamonds should be rife. There was a half-hearted survey made however, and a few stones of trifling value were found. This conflrn ed popular opinion that the geologist was a dunderhead and the finding Was comnnuriicated to hint.

"Don't know what these hotels are coming to, I'm sure; I've been _here the whole week, and can't get anything in the morn- ing but eggs—eggs—eggs!" "But they're different eggs," ob- served his companion sadly, tucking his napkin under his chin. "Well, of course, they're different," snapped the fussy commercial. "Then be thankful for at least that consolation," replied the other, "and don't be too hard on hotels. I know a place, my friend, where I am given a hot joint one day, renew its ac- quaintance in a state of frigidity on the next, toy with its mangled re- mains in the form of a hash on the third, flirt with it among macaroni and tomato -sauce on the fourth, and probably on the fifth detect it lurk- ing yet again in the recesses of a rissole!" "Great Scott!" exclaimed the com- mercial, brought away from his own troubles at last. "Where's that?" - "In a little place," replied the sil- ent sufferer, "called home."

TO BE TAKEN WITH SALT A Jumbled Sale.—Sometime ago, writes 0. M. of Port Elgin, a man from the city (if I'm not mistaken he came from the City of Bornholm) bought a farm not far from here, but found that agriculture did not return the promising dividends he had hop- ed for.
