GEYSER ' JUDITH BASIN TIMES BUSINESS IN CANADA IS GOOD Successful Crops and Big Yields Help the Railway. The remarkable flelds that are re - parted; of, the wheat crop of Western CUM; tor 1915 bear out the call. sate. ot . an average yield over the three' western provinces of upward of SI bushels per acre. There is no. portion of that great west of 24,000 square miles in which the crop was not good and the yields abundant. An American farmer who was induced to place under cultivation land that he had been holding for five years for speculative purposes and higher prices, says that he made the price of the land out of this year's crop of oats. No doubt, others, too, who took the advice of the Department of the Interior to cultivate the unoccupied land, have done as well. But the story of the groat crop that Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta produced' this year is best told in the language of the railways in the added cars that It has been necessary to place in commission, the extra trains required to be run, the increased ton- nage of the grain steamers. It is found that railway earnings continue to improve. The C. P. R. earnings for the second week of October showed an increase of $762,000 over last year, the total being only $310,000 below the gross earnings of the corresponding week of 1913, when the Western wheat crop made a new record for that date. The increase in C. P. R. earnings for the corresponding week of that year was only $851,000, or less than half of the increase reported this year. The grain movement in the West within the past two weeks has taxed the re- sources , of the Canadian roads as never before, despite their increased facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 2,000 cars per day, a new record. The G. T. R. and the C. N. R. are also mak- ing new shipment records. The other day.the W. Grant Morden, of the Can- ada Steamships Company, the largest freighter of the Canadian fleet on the Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of 476,316 bushels, a new record for Canadian shipping. Records are \go- ing by the board\ in all directions this fall, due to Canada's record crop. The largest Canadian wheat movement through the port of New York ever known is reported for the period up to October 16th, when since shipments of the new crop began in August, 4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded for England, France and Italy. This Is over half as much as was shipped of American wheat from the same port In the same period. And, be it remem- bered, Montreal, not New York, is the main export gateway for Canadian wheat. New York gets the overflow En competition with Montreal.—Ad- sertisemene Sad Pleasure. A minister who had resigned from his church was making his farewell calls He called at the home of one of his parithoners who sent her lit- tle girt down to the parlor to en- tertain the minister for a few min- utes, the mother not being dressed to receive him. After a few of the cus- tomary remarks about the weather the Little girl said to the minister: \I hear that we are to have the sad pleasure of losing you.\ In the effort to eradicate HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA illoyt's Headache and Neuralgia Cologne now heads the list as a successful remedy for the relief of headache, nervousness, in- somnia, car sickness, etc. The dangerous tablet has had its day. headache and Neuralgia Cologne is a harmless, refreshing, fragrant prepa- ration, marvelous in its action, reliev- ing nervousness, sleeplessness, exhaustion and all head and nerve ailments by e terna I use and inhaling.

N ISLAND of fragrant spices, a land of enchantment that fulfills the romantic dreams of youth, a veritable paradise of emerald verdure, bordered by the sheen waters of a tropical sea— that is Ceylon. And of Colombo, what can be said? It is there that the world travelers from the four winds meet; it is there that one hears the languages of almost every land in the two hemispheres spoken, writes W. D. Hornaday in Grit. In no city of the world is there to be found day by day a more cosmopoli- tan transient population than in Col- ombo. It is a port of call for many steamships that ply regularly between points in the far East and Europe, and between Australia, New Zealand and Europe. It is there one meets elephant and tiger hunters of India, tea plant- ers, spice buyers, officers of the army and navy of many nations, wool buy- ers who pass to and fro between England, France and the far-off lands of Australia and New Zealand. The island kings—the cocoanut princes— from the coral dots of the Indian ocean and the South Seas gather there for a season of social pleasures; the American millionaire comes into the harbor in his yacht and lends to the gayety of the scene ashore by the prodigal way in which he scatters his money around. Every Singaleso man and boy is a natural merchant and trader. From the youngest to the oldest they ever have an eye to business. Even the street arabs—little fellows not yet in their 'teens—have an ability to size up the white visitor with a degree of ac- curacy that is almost uncanny. On the way to the post office I was surrounded and followed by crowds of men and boys, all wanting me to step in their shops. It is remarkable how shrewd and smart these natives are. How they could tell I was an Ameri- can I am unable to say, but it was not unusual for one of them to say: \Marster step in and let me show you things very fine; make mos' beau'- ful present America.\ \I said to one of them: \What do you mean by calling me an American? I live in Bombay.\ The youngster smiled knowingly and replied: \Oh no; me know mareter is Amer- ican—me can tell.\ \How can you tell?\ I asked. The fellow shrugged his shoulders and smiled, but did not explain the se- cret. Seeing the Sights of Colombo. Coming to a long row of waiting rickshaws. I selected one. The puller of the vehicle could talk some Englibh and I gave him directions that I want- ed to go to Mount Lavinia, the Cinna- mon gardens, the Buddhist temple and through different parts of the city. The charge was a shilling an hour. He started off at a brisk trot and kept it up for several miles. Beggars beseeched me for coins along the route and once in a while a boy would throw a flower into my lap and then trot airing for some distance begging for a coin. The first stop was at the Maligakande Buddhist temple. I alighted and went te the temple where I was rue by a man h long, white robe and several bright little boys, each of whom was expectantly awaiting a tip. I started to enter the temple when the man informed me in broken English that I must take off my shoes. In- stantly a boy was down untying my shoes and when they wore off I an- tered the holy place. In the first room was an Image of Buddha. It le about twenty-five feet long and in a reclining position. Upon the walls of this and other rooms of the temple are paint- ings representing various phases of the religion. From the temple I was escorted to another building that is used as the Oriental college and li- brary. It was a stuffy, ill -smelling room where I was shown ancient em- blems and relics and shelves of books. As I was ready to leave, the man said: \Marster will now give me a pres- ent.\ I greatly enjoyed the experience of a visit to the big native market. Strange to western eyes were most of the products on sale there. At one of the stands was a dealer who was call- ing in a loud voice something like this, as he handed oranges to a cus- tomer: Ely, ely, ely, ily, ily, ily, oly, oly, oly.\ To my ears it sounded like an at- tempt at singing. \What kind of song is that fellow singing?\ I asked the interpreter who accompanied me. \He's not singing, sahib; he is counting the oranges,\ replied my man. It was too good a joke on me to keep, and soon the crowd around the stand was laughing at my mistake. There are motor cars to be bad for hire In Colombo, but the favorite way of riding is in a man -pulled rickshaw or in a little cart which is pulled by what is known as a \racing hackery.\ This animal is a little bullock that travels about twelve miles an hour. The rickshaw men have wonderfur en- durance. They are quick to discover, however, whether their passenger is a hard master. I found this out when I allowed my man to slow down and be- gin loafing on his job. Unless I kept urging him to keep up his pace he killed as much time as possible. Kandy, the \H111 Capital.\ Besides the many beauty spots in STRUT. 5CENC N for marster's family in and around the city there are strange- ly interesting things to be seen in the native town of Pettah and along the drives that run through the tropical Jungle. No visit to Ceylon is complete with- out a sojourn in Kandy, the \hill capi- tal\ of the wonderful Island. It is there at an altitude of 1,602 feet above the sea level that the white residents of Colombo go for rest and recupera- tion from the enervating effects of a prolonged stay in the low-lying me , tropolls. During the winter season the climate of Kandy is tempered with Just enough coolness to make it a re- sort for health and pleasure seekers. The town of Kandy does not occupy the most altitudinous point in Ceylon. The wonderful town of Nuwara Ellya, which is located in the mountains 6,- 240 feet above the Bea, attracts many visitors who have plenty of leisure In which to view and thoroughly enjoy the magnificent scenery and strange attractions that the island possesses. Splendid highways connect many of the towns of the island and motor car tours are one of the favorite forms of outdoor enjoyment of the visitors. For shorter trips to points of inter- est the rikshaw is commonly used. There are a number of buried cities in the northern part of Ceylon, and these mysterious remains of a bygone age are of unfailing interest to the traveler who has a liking for archeo- logical research. The most famous of these ruins is that of Anuradhapura. L MARKETING OF LAMBS QUITE PROFITABLE Yearling Dorset Ram. During the last few years a great many corn -belt farmers have estab- lished herds of breeding cows to pro- duce steers for market. Increased market values have given promise of profit in this line. The lessened vol- ume and added cost of western sup- plies are less serious than formerly as a handicap upon the development of a farm beef -raising industry. The same changed economic condi- tions that are bringing the center of beef production farther east have equal force in relation to the production of mutton and lambs, although the re- turn to production on farms has been less general in the case of sheep than with beef cattle. Continued good Prices for sheep and difficulties in se- curing farm labor, however, have caused a marked revival of interest Iii the marketing of lambs from east- ern farms. It is becoming more gen- erally understood that the marketing of lambs around $5 per head at the time they are ready to wean is a prac- tical proposition. During nearly all of a lamb's stay upon the farm its mother harvests all the feed needed for both, and during the rest of the year subsists largely upon feed which she gathers herself and which would otherwise not be utilized at all. The Illinois experiment station has recently published the results of ex- periments conducted to show the most economical methods of raising lambs and maintaining breeding ewes. Six- ty lambs dropped in March, 1916, when weighed July 16 averaged 67.6 pounds per head. On the basis of cur- rent market values on July 3, this lot of lambs was worth $380.90. These 60 lambs were raised by 48 ewes. The average cost per ewe and her lambs for feed and pasture from March 27 to July 16 was $2.52. The same ewes were fed for the entire period of pregnancy (146 days) preceding the birth of their 1914 lambs at an average cost of 76 cents per head. This gives the cost of a ewe and her lamb at $3.28 for 255 days, during which time the lamb is mado ready for market. The value of the ewe's fleece would more than offset the cost of her pasturage during the remaining 110 days from July 16 to November 3. Another interesting and valuable suggestion from this experiment is found in the fact that 20 lambs raised with their mothers upon forage crops weighed eight pounds per head more than those raised upon bluegrass pas- ture (grain was fed in each case) and were sold at a higher price per pound, bringing $1.55 per head more than the bluegrass lambs. The dif- ference in cost of raising was slight- ly in favor of the forage lot, while the eyes from that lot had a market value, when the lambs were weaned, of $2.50 per head more than those kept on bluegrass. Sheep in Comfortable Winter Quarters. DISEASE OF CALVES DUE TO INFECTION Diphtheria Is Always Serious Matter, Especially When Af- fecting Young Animals. (By II. M. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex- periment Station.) Calf diphtheria is duo to a specific Infection, and is always a serious mat- ter, especially when affecting young animals. The trouble may appear with calves from three to five days old. Such calves refuse to drink milk or Buck. They show more or less discharge of saliva from the mouth and inflamed patches inside of the mouth. These patches gradually develop into ulcers covered with a dead, granular, or cheesy mass which does not peel eas- ily from the raw surface underneath. There is considerable rise of tempera- ture and an offensive odor from the mouth. The trouble may easily ex- tend to neighboring parts, to the lin- ing membrane of the nose, and then there appears a yellowish discharge. In some cases the lining membrane of the digestive tract is similarly af- feeted and then there is tendency to diarrhea. Little pigs show similar symptoms. Very young animals are most easily and most seriously af- fected, but cases have been reported in calves and pigs eix to eight months old, and even occasionally in adult cattle and adult hogs. The sores may be cleaned with two per cent creolin in warm water, and then treated with Lugol's solution, ap- plied twice a day to the ulcers. Per- manganate of potash may also be used, two ounces to each gallon of water; make up fresh each time, as the mixture cannot be kept from day to day Either treatment should bo given to valuable animals about twice a day for from four to six days. Frequent and thorough disinfection of calf pens and calf yards is one of the first essentials in management. Oldest Breed of Fowls. The Brown Red Games are probably the oldest breed of domesticated fowls known in this country. USING ASPHALT AS FLOORS FOR SWINE No Particular Advantage Over Concrete Except Material Is Somewhat More Elastic. (By F. W. IVES. Ohio State University.) Asphalt would have no advantage over concrete as a feeding floor for hogs other than being more elastic. It is doubtful whether this advantage would be worth the extra expense of the asphalt. Asphalt requires a good concrete foundation to be successful and must be thoroughly rolled when placed. Usually a base of four inches is re- quired, and the asphalt is laid from two to three inches thick over that. The base should be of 1:3.6 concrete. This would make a fairly satisfactory floor in Itself. If asphalt has any germicidal quali- ties, they would be very slight and would be worth nothing in the course of two or three weeks' use. It would be sanitary in that it might be easily cleaned. However, the same could be said of concrete. GOOD OPPORTUNITY' TO EARN A LIVING Chances for Success in Farming Better Than in Any Other Kind of Business. Less than half of the 1,200,000,000 tillable acres in the United States are under cultivation. Our foreign trade in and home consumption of raw materials are constantly increasing. A man with some capital, plenty of hard sense and the ability to absorb information should find in farming an opportunity to earn a good living in a healthful way. The chances for success in this field seem to be better than in any other kinds of business ventures where cir- cumstances are often too strong even for the' intelligent and industrious man.

The noble- man was addressed by all members of the family as \My Lord.\ As soon as the family were seated at the table the lord was served first of all. Each dish was offered him with the remark, \My Lord, will you have this?\ or \My Lord, do you care for this?\ It hap- pened that the pickle was overlooked, and the nobleman reached to get some. The small boy, seeing this, punched his mother and said in a loud whisper: \Mother mother, God wants a pickle.\ How He Saw the Louvre. A French literary man fell in with one of the new order of American commercial men the other night and asked him if he had seen the sights of Paris. \Yes he said. \but I find that the police have closed most of the eights.\ \Oh no,\ said his literary friend. \the real sights of Paris, the niond• ments, are always open — the Pan- theon, Notre Dame, the Invaliees. the Madeleine and the Louvre\ \Ale yes..
