A bulletin issued by the statistics branch of the Saskatchewan depart- ment of agriculture, giving the final estimates of the areas and yields of the principal grain crops grown in the province in 1911, states that Saskat- chewan now stands without a rival on the North American continent in the production of wheat and other small grains. Minnesota and the Dakotas have heen close competitors in recent years, but in 1911 the Cana- dian province outstripped its southern neighbors. * - Of Saskatchewan's total wheat pro- duction some twenty million (20,000, 000) bushels under the snow at this date, and of this amount there can be little doubt but that fully one-half will be a total loss, while twelve mil- lion (12,000,000) bushels of the awaiting immediate shipment. Turnips as a Late Crop. White turnips can be made to fill an important place in farm monage- ment. There are several advautages in growing this crop. Since it need not be sown until mid-July opportuni- ty is given of summer fallowing the land before the crop is put in. Be- cause the land can be thus cleared be- fore the crop is sown, one hand how- ing can be made to serve, while two or three are required in the case of mangels. Not only this but the work of hoeing can be done more quickly than with mangels, This is partly be- cause the turnip land can be cleaned in advance and partly because the mangels, with two or three seeds in one shell, grow more closely together, ning mangels. You do not have to do this with turnips. A man can hoe half an acre to an acre of turnips in a day. He will do well to get over a quarter of an acre of mangels in the same time.--Henry Glendinning, | The Value of a Dairy Sire. A car load of grade Guernsey cows left lowa for Kansas a short time since at an average price of $175 per head. How much do you think their mothers could have been bought for, supposing they were ordinary native cows? We will be liberal and say 830 apiece. So then it is clear that a registered Guern- sey bull added to the commercial val- ue of every one of those cows $125. Of course, these are high figures. But they point the way just the same. -- Hoard's. | In a recent issue Prof. C. A. Zavitz recommended sowing buckwheat about June 10th. That is one of the ad- vantages in buckwheat.

Hoard's Dairyman, in dealing with the advantages gained in! using 'a motor to haul cream, says: | "Much less time is consumed in mak-] ing a ten mile trip with a motor truck | than - with teams. The truck makes such a trip in an hour easily and of- ten in less time. Teams can't do this in less than 2 hours and often .takes longer if the load is at all heavy, . This saving of time not only lessens the chance of churning because there is less time in which churning may take place, bus in hot weather the milk does not get hot and sour as it does in the longer time used in wagon hauling. The quality gf the cream is better when it reaches the market for creamery, and the final product is bet- ter, as is also the price. There is no long wait on station platforms in the hot sun as there is where railroads or trolley shipments are made ;.no rough handling by the railroad employees and no chance of the milk being left over until the next day. The motor truck delivers the milk fresh and sweet and almost as cool as when started." ! Care of the Hen. Empty all drinking vessels at night to save thawing in the morning. cold snaps. Avoid a draught of cold air on the chickens, this will surely kill.

Colebrook, Feb. 27.--Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hart, of this place, had a thrilling experience and a narrow escape from death last Wednesday night on their way home from Rob- Lin. They took the road crossing Varty Lake, and drove on the lake at five o'clock, when a heavy wind was blowing, accompanied by u blinding snow storm. Mr. Hart trusted the orse8 to take them across the lake but they became lost and alter tra- velling several hours a from exhaustion. Fortunately Mr. Hart had a load of household effects among ich was some bedding, which they used to protect them from the cold. This ubtedly kept them from freezing. As it was Mrs. Hart's face and Mr. Hart's chin was frozen. Af- ter fourteen hours on the ice, they arrived at seven in theymorning at Robert Gelbraith's, whose home, is on the lake shore. Mrs. Hart was so chilled that she had to be carried into the house. Although this hap- pened within thre miles of their ome, they could not get there until the next day. John D. Keller, of Gretna, and Miss Matilda Wagar, of this place, were quietly married on Saturday, the 10th of February, at the home of her father, Hiram Wagar. Miss Wagar was a highly esteemed young lady, and will be greatly missed. They will reside at Gretna. : The race track on the ice is clear of snow and horsemen are daily speeding their horses.

Sr ------ SOME POPULAR SONGS. Popular Taste is Not Improving-- Here Are Examples. Collier's In popular songs is the quality of words and music getting 'better or worse ? Do you remember the days of "Champagne Charlie," "Capt. Jinks of the Horse Marines," and "Upin a Balloon, Boys ?" "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de- ay' was circling the globe at the time of the world's fair, and we knew of the captain of a square rigger who heard the chorus in Hong Kong and thought he was listening to a Chinese song. In the early nineties came "An- nie Rooney," "After the Ball," "A Bi- cycle Built for Two," and "Sweet My- rie." After "The Blue and the Gray' and "Just One Girl" began the era of ragtime with "Hello, Ma Baby !"* "The Good Old Summer Time" helped to bring in the mew century. "'Tam- many," "Hiawatha," and "Tell Mo, Pretty Maiden"--the sextet of "Floro- doro" fame--came along about the same time. Later there have been "Nancy Brown," "So Long, Mary," "Degrie/" "I Love a Lassie," and oth- er Harty Lauder songs, "Yip-i-addy," "Beautiful Eyes," "Rings on My Fin- gers," and the yet-echoing "Every Lit- tle Movement." There have heen be- sides whole groups of songs, such as the moon-and-babogn type of serenade, and the songs celebrating home and childish joys--the peeping:through-the- knot-hole-in-grandpa's-wooden-leg sort of thing. Taking it through twenty years, there has probably been no steady decline in musical quality, but the same cannot be said for the words. Recently we passed an hour at a mov- ing picture show. Betweén sets of pic- tures the audience was induced to join in singing the five most popular songs of the moment. They were these: "Oceana " Roll," ' "Mysterious Rag," "Alexander's Ragtime Band," "That Raggy Reg," and "You Great Big Beautiful Doll." Can the previous per- iods show most popular songs with words equally insane ? One Book Enough. A book agent will attempt to sell his book under many adverse circum- stances, and in many cases he will succead, but there are times when he sees that a graceful retreat is the better part. An agent tells the fol- lowing stor; : "I approached a farmer in a poor community and began showing my book. He listenod with interest, but ol my speech said that he couldn't read. on the matter, but I didn't give up, for we meet many customers who don't read. | told him of the great help it would be to all his family, and he still was interested. : "I thought 1 was making progress, bat I wasn't. | had finished my speech with the usual peroration that is designed to make the customer en- thusastic and make him sign for the book--a thing few do without con- siderable persuasion.
