Umate is ideal ^.rAT WEALTH ACQUIRED IN W growing GRAIN. Writing from Saskatoon, Saskatche - ranada, W. H. Ellwanger, who JS'formerly a resident of Green Mountain, Iowa, says: "The climate in summer is ideal for growing grain. Ton? clear days of sunshine, no bad imrms We never need to guard Icainst cyclones; I never saw a better climate in my life. We made more money during the season of 190G than ® previous five years in central Iowa—one of the best districts in the • tat0 ” But Mr. Ellwanger was a resi dent of the town, and it might be more Interesting to read what a farmer has to say about Western Canada. From hundreds of letters all filled with words of praise, recounting success in Western Canada there has been one selected. It is as follows: Pavnton, Sask., Canada, ’ Dec. 10th, 1907. To Whom This May Concern: I moved to this address February 3, 1907, from Montgomery, Iowa, and took a homestead 35 miles north of Pavnton. It was cold when I moved here but it did not stay cold long; it broke up the Sth of February, and was not so cold after that but the spring was late on account of the heavy snow' fall, but in spite of the late spring I saw better grain than I ever saw’ in ■ the states, raised this year. I helped a man finish sowing oats the 4th of July and they made fair oats. In a good year oats will go 100 bushels to the acre and wheat 25 to 50; all root crops do well here. I saw turnips weigh 7 and 8 pounds. I raised potatoes this year that measured 11!6 inches one way and 18Vi the other in cir cumference. This is a fine stock coun try; hay in abundance, good water, plenty of fuel, free and plenty of building material—the government gives us timber to saw iuto lumber and we can get it sawed for about J6.00 per thousand. All small fruit grows wild here, then there are ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose, elk and fish in abundance. I was over to Turtle Lake yesterday where there is lot? of fishing being done this win ter. I saw about a carload of white fish in one idle. I gave 25 cents for 96 pounds of fish. What do you think of that. Brother Yankee? 1 think this is a fine place both to make money and to live. There was an old man up here v.-iting bis brother-in-law. Now this man owns land close to I)os Moines, Iowa, and is in good circum stances, hut ho took a homestead and tays he will be contented if he can only put in the rest of his days in Canada. He would get up in the morn and look out of the door and say: “Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?" Now 1 have been in 13 different states In tlip United States, and I never saw the chance that there is here for a aian that has a little muscle and a little brains.

One of the consuls to Persia, during a recent visit home, said at a dinner iu Chicago: "The present shah will never be the equal of his predecessor. What a char acter the late shah was. He never opened his mouth without saying aoiie thing worth repeating. Lady Drummond Wolfe once got permission to visit the shah's harem. She took a friend with her, a Miss Blank, who was about to be married. The two English women wandered over the splendid palace, among the hundreds of beautiful girls, and pres ently the shah encountered them. " Come here,’ he said to Miss Blank, In his crude French. She approached. He looked closely at her. You are about to be married?' ho said. I es. vour highness.’ ’“It's late!' Toole's Practical Joke. John Lawrence Toole, the most pop nlar low comedian of his day, once gave a supper to 80 of hts friends, and Wr°to a note to each of them privately beforehand, asking him whether he ■wotild be so good as to say grace, as no clergyman would be present. It is raid that the faces of those 80 men as they rose in a body when Toole tapped on the table, as a signal for grace, was a sight which will never be forgotten. Do You Itch?

BDRNINOLO HOME FIFTH GENERATION SEES LIGHT IN HISTORIC DWELLING. Baby Appears and Is Rocked in ths Same Cradle Which Lulled His Great-Great-Grandfather to Sleep Years Before. Columbus.—Born In the house of his great-great-grandfather and rocked in the cradle that lulled his great-great grandfather to sleep away back in old Connecticut before the beginning of the last century, is the patrician be binning of wee Edward Griswold Mc Cullough, who made his appearance on earth recently in tho old Griswold inn at Worthington. He is the son of Edward Miles McCullough and Harriet Griswold McCullough. In all the romance of old Worthing ton there Is no greater halo than that which hangs over the Griswold inn. It was built in ISOfi by Ezra Griswold, who eame from Connecticut with the pioneers who settled much of the west ern reserve and centr&l Ohio. The family was an old one even for old Connecticut, and Ezra Griswold was a sturdy representative of it. He brought his family into the “great west" with him, and his son, George Griswold, was reared in the inn. He was eight years old when his father brought him to Ohio. George Griswold, in turn, inherited the duty of perpetuating the name, and when his father died he fell heir to the inn property and lived through out his life where his father had buildod so well. His son was Worth ington Franklin Griswold, who, as his father had done, inherited the inn and lived in it. To him and his good wife was born a daughter Harriet, who was reared in the old home of the f mily, and who continued to live there when she be came Mrs. McCullough. Now she is tho happy mother of a son. and she is rocking him in tho Griswold cradle that was brought to Ohio along with other household pos sessions, by Ezra Griswold when he drov his ox ti am overland from Con necticut in 1S00. No ore knows how long the unique heirloom had been in the Griswold lamily before that time, but it is sup posed that Ezra Griswold was himself rocked in it when lie was a babe long before revolutionary times. Wlvui little Edward Griswold McCul lough is baptized, he will wear a little white dress that was made for the bap tismal ceremony of Isis grandfather, by his great grandmother—a dress that has been handed down in the family with great care, and which will be treasured more dearly than ever whi n another epoch has been noted In its history. MUST WIN CHILD'S LOVE. Unusual Conditions in Placing Girl in the Custody of Father. Los Angeles.

Singular conditions attarii to the award. Judge Monroe stipulating that Schilb must make his home in Los Angeles, place the often-kidnapped child in the custody of another wom an and win the affection of little Mildred before he may actually have her in his keeping. And he must also permit the mother to visit the child Schilb, who also married again after the divorce from his first wife, de clares he is glad to comply with the conditions.

Pa.—There was a vast crowd present at the sale on the Wal dorf Story farm last week, attracted, no doubt, by the fact that Mr. Story’s famous two tailed cow was put up at auction. Bidding on this animal was most spirited, the cow being run up to $74 and being purchased by Baron von Thiessen, a Danish breeder. Aside from being a freak of nature. thj3 cow had several other unusual points. It was said by the owner that during the summer months, when the other cows were worried bv flies and in consequence gave but little milk. the double-tailed cow maintained her average. Ordinarily, when a cow swishes her tail around on one side the flies assem ble on the opposite side. This cow was able to swish on both sides at the same time, and this so confused the pests that they quit annoying her. Wants Whisky in Train Kits.

United States Government Seeks to In terest Farmers in Its Cultivation. An Increasing demand for chicory as a coffee addition lias caused the United States Government to make a special ef fort to induce American limners to grow the plant. (See Bulletin lit, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture.) Chicory is a root grown something like the beet or carrot, and i.as boon used as a food in various ways for centuries. More than a hundred years ago during the Napoleonic wars, the continent of Ku rope v 's cut off iruin the outside world, and coffee, of which the Dutch in particu lar are \< ry loud, In ame scarce and high in price. It was found that the chicory root, dried, roasted and ground, made a most cm client substitute. Soon many were drinking it entirely, while oile rs mixed it with a certain proportion of genuine . coffee. Ti .-.sc people found that it gave the coft. e a richer, fuller flavor, and that tlio injurious effects which pure coffee lias on man v were entirely overcome. Since then chicory h >s I.. extensively used by coffee merchants, and tlie prep aration of it as an addition to coffee has become a large business, giving em ployment to thousands of men. Many large factories in Kurope and several In America are manufacturing thousand* of tens annually.
