We visited the territorties of Al­ berta, Assiniboia, and Saskatchewan, and found them far surpassing our im­ agination, but little did I expect to find such rich, loamy soil, so much of it, and so uniform in its level prai­ rie lay. I do think the soil of Canada •8 a rule equals if not excels the fin­ est prairie farm lands of Indiana. These lands are immense in their richness, and when once the sod is rot­ ted and pulverized, it is as pliable and as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy •oil. Western Canada, from my point .of •iew, offers as fine opportunities for mixed farming as any place in my knowledge. The long, sunshiny days, together with the rich soil, produce very fine wheat, oats, barley, flax and other cereal products. There is scarce­ ly any attempt to raise corn, except early varieties for table use. The sea- Bon is too short to depend upon ma­ turing field corn. From the stand­ point of getting this land ready for the plow, I must say that I never saw auch a vast extent, practically all ready so. all that one has to do is to hitch up the plow and go to work. This is not the case with all the Canadian land, however; some of it has quite a bit of timber, much of it may be called brush land, and some of 14 has lovely forest groves, dotted here WISCONSIN FARM LANDS.

Willie--No, maw, I didn't eat * thing but eight green apples, and there, thereby covering a hundred and sixty acres. I have no doubt but that this coun­ try excels as a grazing or ranching country, because they have such rich grass, having an abundance of rain to keep it fresh. They also have plenty of water streams, and as a rule water may be reached at a depth fat from 20 to 40 feet. From this you can see there can be plenty of hay mown for winter feeding, and i have had re­ liable farmers to tell me that their stock will feed on hay alone, and be ready for market in the spring. Upon inquiring about the expense of raising a steer, a farmer replied that he did not consider it would cost any more than $4 or $6 to develop a three-year- old steer. I truly think Canada offers a line opening for a young man or a man who is renting land in Indiana. One hundred and sixty acres of good black land will cost you on-y $10 at the time you enter it, and by plowing and cul­ tivating five acres each year for three years, gives you one hundred and sixty acres of good land for $10. This land can be bought from the railroad com­ panies, private corporations or the gov­ ernment for $3 to $4 per acre. From a financial standpoint, I be­ lieve that for a series of years (five) a young man can make $10 in Canada, whereas he would only make $1 here, and I feel sure that I spent more money to get my elghty"acre farm in White county, Indiana, cultivated than it would cost me to cultivate eight hundred acres in Canada. This may seem a strong view to take of the matter, but when you take into con­ sideration the clearing, ditching, fenc­ ing and the expensive breaking in of the stumps, and then compare the ex­ pense to that of land needing only the breaking, you will conclude that it is not such a wild or exaggerated state­ ment as you might at first think. I enjoyed the balmy, breezy atmos­ phere, which was bracing and refresh­ ing, and the cool nights which made it so pleasant for sleep. On making inquiries regarding the winters, in this country, I learned that the people never suffer from the cold, as the weather is dry and invigorat­ ing, and in a great many places farm­ ers and herders allow their stock to run outside the year round. One great advantage to the settlers in Western Canada is the free cream­ eries established by the government and run exclusively in the Interest of the farmer. I visited Thomas. Daley, a farmer near Edmonton, Alberta, who showed r. a oats he had raised, some of which took the first prize at the Paris Ex­ position last year. The same yielded 110 iMiahela to the acre in 1899.

New President Now of State, HE ANNOUNCES HIS POLICY. h|l Will Cos tin a* Uabroke* the Policy of President McKlnley--There May Be Chances In the Cabinet, How­ ever--Cool to Office Seekers. Simple ceremonies Saturday after­ noon marked the administratis of the oath which made Theodore Roosevelt president of the United States to fill the unexpired term of William McKin- ley, slain by an assassin's bullet. The oath was administered by United States District Judge John R. Hazel, for the western district of New York. Those present at the cere­ mony were Secretary of War Elihu Root. Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, Secretary of the Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock. Secretary of Agricul­ ture James Wilson, Postmaster Gen­ eral Smith, Attorney General Knox, George D. Cortelyou, secretary of the late President; William Locb, Jr., sec­ retary of the new President; ColOnet Theodore Bingham, master "of cere­ monies at the White House; Sen­ ator Chauncey Depew of New York, John D. Milburn of Buffalo, at whose house the. President died; George P. Keating, clerk of the'federal court for the western district of New York; Dr. C. E. .Stockton of Buffalo, who was called in to aid in saving the life of the late President when the efforts of the surgeons seemed to have fai'ed, and a number of newspaper corre­ spondents and women. The ceremony was as remarkable for its simplicity as its brevity. Secretary Root, after a brief personal chat with the new President, while both were standing in the center of the circle of spectators who had been admitted to the Wilcox parlor, conveyed to the President the desire of the cabinet that he proceed at once to take the oath of office as the necessary preliminary step to as­ suming the powers and duties of Pres­ ident. President Roosevelt responded Just as briefly. He made a single allu­ sion to the great national bereavement that was afflicting the American peo­ ple, and then, after stating that he would continue the policies of-the late President, turned to Judge Hazel and said he was ready for the oath. Judge Hazel was standing in an old-fash­ ioned window embrasure holding a manuscript copy of the presidential oath in his hand. President Roosevelt moved quickly to his side, and, up­ raising Ins right hand, indicated by a nod of the head that he was ready to face the greatest ordeal of his event­ ful life. The judge read the formula solemnly, clearly, pronouncing each word with distinct emphasis. The Pres­ ident waited until there was a pause, and with equal distinctness repeated the words of the oath. There was a ring of firmness in his voice, but his manner was strained and tense. It is known' that President Roosevelt was greatly pleased with the simplicity of the few formalities which were gone through with to constitute him Presi­ dent. It is understood from official sources that matters with reference to the cabinet stand now as they did when the President said he should continue unbroken the policy of Presi­ dent McKinley. The members of the McKinley cabinet have promised the new executive to remain with him. The President did not indicate to any of them how long the presen'. relations were likely to continue. , A delegation waited upon the Presi­ dent Sunday to urge the filling of a va­ cancy in the White House staff. He treated the visitors rather coolly, tell­ ing them that nothing would be done until after the funeral. The President, with fatherly pride, told his friends that his son, Theodore, shot his first buck on bis visit to the Adirondacks last week. A great quantity of mail and telegraphic matter arrived at the Wilcox house and some of it concerned matters which were urgent and com­ pelled the President's instant atten­ tion. He was fully occupied until the hour of his starting for the Milburn house to attend the funeral of Presi­ dent McKinley. Notwithstanding the President's rooted objection to any­ thing in the nature of a body guard, he has been overruled by some of those who are close to him, and there are a considerable number of secret service men nearer to him than ha alwaya realizes. ' Ernest endeavor for their welfare, by a death of Christian fortitude; and both thd way in which he lived his life and the way in which, in the supreme hour of trial, he met his death, will remain forever a precious heritage of our people, tl is meet that we as a nation express our abiding love and reverence for his life, our deep sorrow for his untimely death. Now, there­ fore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do appoint Thursday next Sept. 19, the day in which the body of the dead President will be laid in its last earth­ ly resting place, as o day of mourning and' prayer throughout the United States. I earnestly recommend all the people to assemble on that day In their respective places of divine worship, there to bow down in submission to the will of Almighty God, and, to pay, out of full hearts, their homage of love and reverence to the great and good President whose death has smit- teh the nation with bitter grief. In witness whereof I have hereunto set toy hand and crfused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, the 14th day of September, A.

N.Vjohn Herziger, son of Alderman Her- zlger, of Neenah, Wis., and Vice Presi­ dent of the Neenah Young Men's Club, writes in a recent letter to The Pe- runa Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, the following: VAfter suffering tor two years with kidney trouble / received relief and a cure from using your wonderful medi­ cine, Peruna. "For months I was unable to work on account of a severe pain in my back, and when / was able to d anything I was in pain and distressed most of the time. "Hearing so much of the good re­ sults people had obtained through the use of Peruna I determined to give it a trial and it was a lucky day for me when 1 did so. 1 am weH now and it only took a few but ties of Peruna."-- John Herziger, 307 Commercial street, Neenah, Wis. Two years suffering with catarrh of the kidneys, unable to work on account of the severe pain; could find no relief from medicine; gave Peruna a trial and was promptly cured--such was the ex­ perience of John Herziger of Wisconsin. This experience has been repeated many times. Not only in Wisconsin but In every state in the Union. .It was Indeed a lucky day for this young man when his attention was called to Pe­ runa. What would have been the result had he continued suffering on and fool­ ing away i.i eciun.s time wuh other re®» ' edies, no man can tell. But It Is al­ most certain that it would have ended in incurable Bright's disease of the kid­ neys, which sooner or later wott&l have proved fatal. Peruna is a sure cure, for incipient Bright's disease of the kidneys. Taken in the early stages of this disease, It cures permanently. Bright's diseaM always begins with catarrh of the kl4> neys. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. ' Coagrc#sman Bankhead's Statement. . '• ' Congressman J.vH.

Robert Machray, an English writer, who made his entry into the republic of letters through the door of the monthly illustrated magazines, has shown his capacity as a novelist in both "Grace O'Malley" and "The Vis­ ion Splendid." His publishers are about to issue a new novel from his pen. It will be of the familiar "ad­ venture" order and is to be called "Sir Hector; The Story of a Scots Gentle­ man." One of the scenes introduced in the tale relates to "Black Friday." a terrible day in 1745. when the Bank of England saved its credit only by the ingenious device of the manager, who got his friends to take up the time of the staff by cashing large numbers of notes in sixpences, and so secured a respite until the crisis was past. iMGREJBAN HALF A CENTUKf OF P.XPLRIENCK AND OK* GUA3ANT&& ARC RACK OF ' EVERY A WATERLOO? ©IIfiV SLICKED OR COAT BEARING TH'STPAPEMJW, ON S'ALE EVERTWHERE v I BEWARE OF- IMITATION!

Ants are now regarded as a great delicacy, and the only trouble is that there is not enough of them. Men who do hard manual labor in cold cli­ mates acquire a strong craving for something sour, and they have found out long ago that ants are a palatable substitute for pickles. They use only a peculiar variety, large and red in color, and found in immense quantities under tha .barn, of dead trees. It is not very hard to conect a quart pail full, and, after killing them by scalding, they are spread on a board and dried in the sun. When ready to eat they look like coarse, brown powder, and hare a very agreeable, aromatic smell. Unfortunately.--She--Then a corner results from people selling stocks they haven't got?
