Canada's wheat yield for the `last ten years averaged 1S bushels to an acre. Wheat yield in the United States for same period, 13 bushels per acre. Manitoba's average wheat yield for ten years, 21 bushels -per acre. 'Mtinnesota'a yield for some period, 1a; 'Kansas, 12; Missouri, 11. Wheat 621_ lbs. to the tushel has been grown at Fort Simpson, Sib miles north of Winnipeg. Canada's western wheat contains 10 per cent. more albuminoids than the best European varieties. Om: hundred;.onnds of Canadian flour makes more bread of hash quality than the same weight of any wheat imported into Britain. Lard Strathcona asserts that in ten years Canada can produce all the grain needed by Great Britain. Great Britain imports annually 200 million bnsheis of wheat. Of this 0 matt sends her only 20 mil- lion bushels. Eighty-seven per cent. of the wheat grown in Canada's west, 1904, was suit- able for milling purposes. Canada ranked first in wheat display at St. Louie Fair. One hundred and fi ty varieties of wheat and other grains were there shown from Canada. Wheat was there shown- grown 2,000 miles north of St Louis. United States exports of wheat and flour to Great Britain are fast decli • ing. Wheat production, 1904: Mauitoba, 19 52 bushels to acre; Northwest Terri- tories, 18 bushels. North Dakota, 11.8; Minnesota, 12.8. Canadian No. 1 hard wheat is the hi best priced wheat in the world. Relative values ib Liverpool market; Canada No. 1 northern, $1.14; No. 2, $1.11; best Russian, $1.05; Argentine, 99 cents; Indian, 91 cents. Plain Speaking. The following from the Toronto News is certainly timely: -There seems to be an epidemic of commandment -breaking in these days Lying and stealing have become the accomplishments of men holding positions of uugneetioned emin- ence. Indeed, one is embarrassed at times with the idea that the accomplish- ments themselves have become respect- able. The old dispensation !may have passed away in a sense, but, even so, the financiers, politicians and truatees of this country, would find real benefit by applying themselves with diligence for a year to the Law slid the Prophets. They will not find the principals of High Fin- ance there, and they will not discover Scriptural warrant for "writing np" This plan, or any other plan for making a good showing in the report to the Gov- ernment is termed by insurance men, "window dresaiug," Why not use plain terms? It is common, ordinary lying, and when snob. a "window dressed" re- port is sworn to, it is perjury. The whole trouble rests in the fact that dir- ectors, managers, and high muck -a I mucks imagine that when John Smith gtves them ten dollars for safe keeping it is their money. They must rearrange their mental furniture sufficiently to al- low the eutrauce of a new idea; that it is still Smith's money. An insurance company has no more right to "write up a security to cover logs than a farmer has to put stones in a 1 ad of bay before it is weighed. It is not honest, and if dishonest men are to be allowed to handle trusts, there is something wrong about • the laws of thie country, and the senti- ment of the people. A TORONTO MAN TRIES, Something New and is delighted Feels Like st boy. Mr. M. N. Defoe, Manager The Dust- less Brush Co , 29 Colborne St. Toron- to, is telling bis friendshowhefound health after years of illness and pain.

The Sow Thistle. As one wanders awes a ploughed fiel.i to where the happy ploughman is doing his fall duty to the land, we no- tice the roots of the upturned sow thistle. As the conversation naturally turns to the farming operations, the leading question before the farmer is how best to deal with this pest. For indeed, the sow this le, in wet or dry season, is an unmixed evil. The Farmers' Institute convention on the Toronto fair grounds took up a good deal of its weed discussion on how to eradicate this one. So far has the con- trol of it got beyond individual control that opinions were numerous on the ad- visability of legislation against the evil. One farmer from Victoria • county thought the only remedy lay in vigor- ous toil, rotation and a little legislation. In that he struck the right note when he urged the importance of a good rota- tion on well -worked Iand. The legisla- tion was introduced by way of protect-, ing the good cultivator from his neigh -1 bor's carelessness in allowing the thistle; to go to seed. One method of fall ploughing that commends itself is to plow early and al- low the roots to grow again. Then late in the season to ridge the land into drills so as to allow the frost to have soape at the toots. This may aid in the work and every little counts. Violent Headaches. WEST HURON.

It isa common mistake to take artificial 'gees. ters for stomach troubles -or heart stimulants for weak heart -or so-called kidney remedies for diseased kidneys. These organs do not act separ ately or of their own accord -they have no con- trol over themselves -and not once in FAO times is the sickness the fault of the organ. It is the fault of the nerves which control the organ - and only through these nerves can stomach, kidney I or heart dis• orders be cured.

Since fermentation soon tidos place when silage is exposed to the air the silo should not be of too great dal ameter. Not more than eight square, feet of surface skould be allowed for i each cow in. winter; then, when feed ing forty pounds of silage per cow, a layer about one and one-half iuches deep should be fed off daily. When silage is fed iu summer it is advisable that the exposed area be not over halt this size, so that a layer three inches deep may be used daily. however mush stock is to be fed, a silo twenty to twenty-two feet in diameter is as large as 511011(1 be built. If a silo is of greater diameter than this, much of the silage is at too great a distance from the door, increasing the labor of removal. The deeper the silo the greater the pressure and the naves compactly will the silage be pressed together, hence the larger the amount that can be stored per cubic foot, For example, a silo twenty feet in diameter and forty feet deep will hold twice as much ad one of the same diameter and twenty- five feet sleep. This shows the econ- omy of reaonably deep silos. To be well proportioned the height should not be more than twice the diameter. No silo should be less than thirty feet deep, and to get sufficient depth for a silo not over twelve feet in diameter it may be placed four or five feet in the ground. . Si_o Building In Brief. Wall of the Silo. To preserve the silage perfectly the silo wall must be rigid and air tight. Location. --That the labor of feeding may be reduced to the minimum the silo should be placed as near the mane ger as possible. Form of Silo. -It is practically impos- sible to construct a square wood silo SILO TINDER CONSTRIICTION. With rigid walls, and as silage usually spoils more or less In the corners it is perfectly clear that the round silo „ is the only proper form. Proportion and Capacity. -The deep- er the silo the greater the pressure and the more compactly will the silage be pressed together. To be well propor- tioned the height should not be move than twice the diameter. -Wilber J. Fraser, Illinois. The Gentle Obligations of the Cow. In our herd improvement we will breed and feed for such size only in the dairy cow as shall enable her to perform the physical labors we put upon her. We will remember that, un- like the poet's "man with the hoe," she is not "brother to the ox," but bis sister, and that upon her in no stren- uous physical sense rests the yoke or the burden of the ox. Her obligations are the gentler, more refined ones of maternity. She should not be the pro- ducer of the raw material on the farlh or its harvester. She is the changer of the crude material into the highest quality of finished food products. Tru- ly one of nature's greatest wonders is the work of the cow! In our breeding, therefore, we will want to produce a cow of robust health without in the least unnecessary degree sacrificing her femininity. We will try to more encourage and stimulate her ability to consume, digest and assimilate the products of our fields iu the largest profitable quantities. -W. 1'. McSpar• ran in Farm and Fireside.

A Good Little Cow. It is not always in the high walks of dairy life that all of the good cows are found. Sometimes blue blood and ex- eellence are discovered in humble lots, remarks a Hoard's Dairyman corre- spondent. Neighbor ;sham last fall bought a little Jersey cow of unknown history and breeding for $35. In the seven months since this little cow has supplied it family of seven, five of whom are ehildren, with milk, and the balance has been sold, the sales to date amounting to $04. If the next five months turn out as profitably as they now promise, $100 is going' to be bard hit by this little yeller cow.
