mont Kxpcrimcnt Farm at ilndian 

 Head in Saskatchewan, Canada. 

 Hero also reliable recDrds have been 

 k».>pt for the same period — viz.., 

 ninetet?n years. Not a sinjjle crop 

 failure is recorded. The hij^hest 

 yield was fo-rty-niuc bushels to the 

 acre, the lowvst seventeen. Dnrino 

 this ix-riod the rainfall varied froiii 

 3.9 to 20.2J inch-OS (snowfall nol 

 inclnde<l — varying- from 1.3 inches 

 to 2.3 inches of water). Here also 

 moist ure-sa\-ing fallows followed 

 eveury crop. 



These experiments clearly show 

 that the 3ear of drouo-ht need not 

 be feared when the principles ol 

 dry -farming are properly carried 

 out. In the conservation of soil 

 moisture lies the ultimate conquest 

 of drought. And in place of the 

 barren desert, abandoned homes, 

 and dying cattle, we can now paint 

 a new and glowing picture. There, 

 under a serene and cloudless sky, 

 lies a panorama of green and 

 chocolate brown— mile after mile 

 the growing wheat and the deep- 

 stirred, water-holding fallow. No 

 rain may fall for many a day, but 

 the husbandman is untroubled. 

 For he knows that his seed has 

 fallen upon good ground, and that, 

 from far below, those life-streams 

 are flowing ever upward which 

 will carry his hundredfold corn 

 white unto the harvest. 



The popular proprietor of the 

 Kalgoorlie Hotel (Mr. Chacles 

 Hones, who, it wnll be remembered, 

 previously had the Theatre Royal 

 Hotel) extends per medium of ad- 

 vertisement in our columns,, a spe- 

 cial invitation to country visitors 

 to give him a call. Situated a 

 few doors past West's Picture Pal- 

 ace, the " Kalgoorlie " has, since 

 coming under the management of 

 its present proprietor, enjoyed the 

 reputation of being an hotel where 

 even,'thing that is best is dis- 

 pensed. The genial proprietor 

 (Mr. Hones) is ever most solici- 

 tous iar the comfort of his pa- 

 trons, while the menu of the hotel 

 is described by those who have 

 given it attention as being equal 

 and in many respects superior to 

 that obtaining in continental 

 hotels. The liquors stocked are of 

 the best brands, and the accom- 

 modation is in every respect first 

 class. Everything in and about 

 the house is fresh, clean, and com- 

 fortable. 



In ten years Australia's yield of 

 butter has increased by 92 per 

 cent. Half the annual yield of 

 193,000,000 lbs. is exported.
