Winnipeg Will No Longer Import All Its Butter and Eggs. , A despatch from Winnipeg says: The largest dairy farm on the enâ€" tire western hemisphere is now be- ing whipped into shape at Heading- ly, a, suburb of this city. When completely stocked the farm will count 2,500 head of cattle within its fences, and with 1,500 of these giving milk, the total yearly output of milk and cream should be 2,000,â€" 000 gallons. It is estimated that Minneapolis, and St. Paul furnish this city with about $500,000 worth of milk, etc., a. year, which, with the estimated output of this-farm, would be eliminated. Motion Pictures of Flame at Cana- dian National Exhibition. 'Moving pictures in firewarks are surely the newest thing in pyroâ€" technics.

Among the motion pictures framed in fire that are on the bill are a, threshing ma- chine, With Wheels running and grain pouring from the spout, an auto fire engine that runs so feast it crashes into an automobile, and flying machines. Add to thesethe changing illumination, the colored balloons, the exploding bombs, the soaring rockets, the massive golden fountains and dispersing radiating batteries, and you have a. fireworks bill more varied and more wonder- ful than anything ever before pre- sented at the Canadian National. Recent Engagement of Greeks and Bulgarians. A despetch from London says: The. Daily Telegraph’s correspon- dents with the Greeks at Salonica describe the recent battle between the Greeks and Bulgarians in the Djuma. district as the‘most hotly contested and sanguinary of the en- tire war. The Bulgarians, the cor- respondents say, reinforced by 50,â€" 000 men who have been withdrawn from the Servien frontier, made an unexpected attack on the Greek left wing. The fight raged for two days with varying successes, but victory finally rested with the Greeks, who captured again their lost positions. The Greek losses were 2,000 men killed, including many oflicers bearing historic names, and between six thousand and seven thousand wounded. era, $6 to $6.50; good medium, $5.25 to $5.75; common, $4.25 to $4.75; cannera. $2 to $2.50; cutters. $2 75 to $3; fat cows. $5 to $5.50; common cows. $3.50 to $4.

DAIRY FARM IN SIGHT. MOST BLOODY BATTLE. United States Markets. Winnipeg Graln. When the doctor was a. Senior in the Medical College, he astounded one of the professors one day by announcing to him that he thought the jugular vein might be removed without any serious danger to the patient. The professor wondered at such ambitions for a, student, and answered that he might have the opportunity of testing his theory some day. ‘ For two days she "was preparing for the operation. rOn the third day it took place before the class of the Post-Graduate School.‘ The in- ternal jugular vein was removed altogether by Doctor ,McPhatter. THat wwsvin November of nine- teen hundred and two. The'woman is still living, with nothing more He examined her. He asked her if she would be willing to take one chance in a. thousand. She would do it gladly. For, one chance in a. thousand to live is better than no chance in a. million; This seemed to be the opportun- ity. The floctor sent his new pa.- tient home, and spent most of that night thinking over her case. He decided to take the risk. ' The next day the patient was re- moved bo the hospital of the Post- Graduate Medical School. ,. And the woman waited. Waited three weary hours. Then the doc- tor came in. He glanced at her sharply and passed into his inner ofiice. The housekeeper followed him and told him how she had found the poor creature. He busâ€" ied himself with his instrument-s and look-ed over his mail. But all the time he was listening. When he heard the words “growth on the side of her neck," he turned quick- ly and told the housekeeper~~ to show the patient in. / x Remarkable Feat Performed by Dr. Neil McPhatter. Dr. McPhatter was, at one time, a, prominent physician of New York city. He was a. Canadian born, hut, like so many, wehtrto practice his profession in the great Ameriâ€" can metropolis. There was much more opportunity there for re- search work. Dr. McPhatter’s spe- cialty was research work. But the New York soddenness of climate in the Winter was not bene~ ficial to the health of the doctog’s other great interest. That interest was five or six years old, and were little dress-es and pink hair ribbons. She became ill, and hexf doctorâ€" father knew that a change of cliâ€" mate was absolutely necessary, and he removed to Calgary, Alberta. REMOVED THE JUGULAR VEIN The f'a‘ithful 01d houseskeeper chanced to look out one day, and saw a, poor, withéred woman stag- gering towards the steps. Just as she reached the first one she fell. The housekeeper ran out and drag- gedv‘the poor creature into .the ofa fice. The doctor was o'ut._ _With the aid of 'warmth' and a, nip of brandy, the pale-faced patient was soon restored to consciousness. It was then that the housekeeper no- ticed how much she was suffering. ‘She could scarcely speak, owing to a. large growth on her neck. She told the servant that every doctor had said she could no tlive, but some kind of Providence had told her to go to the doctor who had done so muoh good among the inâ€" habitants of the lower district. Every bit of hope had dwindled. She came more out of morbid curiâ€" osity than anything else. 'For the growth was on the jugular vein. She kept wringing her hands and moaning, “Oh, if I could only live for two or three years, till the chil- dren are a, littlehetter able to look after themselves!” And the housekeeper shook her head hopefully. and said, “Well, you jes’ wait ’pill yoursee thedoqj right.” I’m sure he lcran fix you up all Dr.‘ Neil M’cPhatter. Reports of Important Finds In White River District. A despath from Vancouver says: Confirmation hits.» been obtained from an oflicial [source of the stories published 015 a. rich gold strike 6n the S'hushanna, in the White River district of the Yukon. Secretary Wesley Blair of the Vancouver Board: of Trade wired on Friday for particulars, and received a. tele- gram from the Darws-orr Board of Trade Secretary stating that $3,200 was washed -by two men. in four days, and that the gold came to Dawson. Numbers of Dawson’s most conservative people were leav- ing for the d‘iggings, fully convinced of its genuineness. Stoker of British Steamer Diesâ€" Shipmate is Stricken. A despa‘tch from Garrucha, Spain, says: A shaker of a.

Another shaker on the ves- sel is suffering with the same ail- ment from which his .shipmate died.

A despatch from Morrisburg, 01115., say-s: Mr. .E P. Brad-t, B. S.A., district representative of the Ontario Department of Agriculâ€" ture, makes the statement that Dundas county, the home of the McIntosh Red apple, would this year have had; a fair yield of apples had all of the orchards been pro- perly sprayed. Those properly sprayed, have escaped the ravages of the caterpillars and are not af- fected by rt-hem, but the light frosts which came at blossoming time here cut the total yield down below the average. In unis-prayed orchard-s many of the tree‘s contain no fruit at all. Manitoba reqnires 25,000 men for the harvest, and each of the other western provinces needs about the same number. The Manitoba crop is estimated this jean (at 66,003,212 bushels. ‘ ' ' ‘ x ‘ Engineer Percy 'thw‘éll, Depot Harbor; Firemen M.9M.’Wi‘1.son, Ottawa; VBrakema‘n John O’Neil, Renfrew, and Student Firemen Bate‘mam and Wilson, or N even, were killed in a, wreck on the G.
