CANADA *ee Divisions Affording Great Chance&for Settlement--Ranching* Wheat-Growing ^ and Mixed Farming. . r ^ , Th« oia ROMW w»d to«ay tbat Gaul was divided into three parts; s? is the Canadian North West.- Gaul's divisions were political; those of the "western Canada prairies are created by the unerring hand of nature. The First Division. Chiefly because of the elevation of the country, the absence of large lakes and rivers, and the operations of the "Chinook" or Pacific ocean winds, which readily cross the Rocky mountains tn Southern Alberta through gaps and passes, the south­ western portion of the Canadian prov­ inces is regarded as somewhat arid, ftnd less fertile than other portions of the country. Although thig, has WeX a prevailing Idea in the past. it has been left for American settlers, who have invaded this district within the past two or three years, to -fcrove that splendid Condi* Onod COQI«« HtckinM WVU) Icm or STi-Ttrrt Miua. crops of grain can b# grown on the land. While there are no large iakesqp rivers in this whole country there are numerous fast running streams fed the year rfcund by melting snows in the mountains, furnishing an abund­ ance of the coolest and purest water, the best for beast as well as man. Englishmen and Americans in the western territories are bringing in their herds as fast as they can and leasing or purchasing land in lots from 1,000 to 20,000 acres from the Dominion goa||rnment. An idea of the growth of this industry will, however, be gathered from the fact that in 1899 thefts were but 41,471 head of cattle shipped and sold from the ranches. These figures ran to 55,129 in 1900, and to 160,000 in 1903, averaging 540 per head for the owners. But it takes a great many ranchers and a large number of cattle to cover an area of 20Q,000,000 acres, the area available tor ranching in the Canadian North­ west. . * • It is not at all necessary that large Investments should be made at the outset. Many men commenced with small capital and small herds, and have worked themselves into large he^ds and great Wealth. There is still In the country plenty of room for those wb© desire to go and do like­ wise. - ... The 8econd Part."; The second part of the Canadian prairies embraces the great wheat growing belt of the country, which Is easily a half larger than any other in the world. It includes about 150,- 000,000 acres. As it is comparatively free of broken land, large lakes and levers, about 125,000,000 acres of it can be brought under the plow. Plac­ ing a farmer on every half section (320 acres) it can comfortably locate 80Q.000 farmers, or 4,000,000 of an agricultural community.. The terri­ torial goyernment's reports show that in 1903 there were raised 16,629,149 bushels of spring wheat off 837,234 acres, an average of 19.86 bushels per acre; off 440,662 acres of oats there were grown 14,179,705 bushels, an^av- erage of 32.17 bushels per acre; ftcAi* or bTATvrt MIUM. Glenbow Mdioitoa 77* mo •AHCEE J. ft Mian* pore DeWint 69.S67 acres produced 1,741,209 bush­ els of barley--24.65- to the acre, an<J 32,431 acres produced 292,853 bushels of flax seed, 9.03 to the acre. As but 1,383,434 acres, or a little bet­ ter than one per cent of the entire wheat growing area of the territories was under crop, a little figuring shows that 13 pgr Cout' of the Satire CQuuiry reader wheat will raise the 200,000,000 that Great Britain annually requires from the outside countries. It is a fairly safe statement to make that in twelve or fifteen years the Canadian prairies will be supplying the entire demands of the mother country. Throughout this entire belt there is an enormous length of railway mile­ age, branches are radiating"in every direction from the trunks until they scarcely leave a grain field more than six or seven miles from a road, and they are all required, for fn the fall and early winter the sight of the trains passing to and from the eleva­ tors at the railway depots makes the entire country look like one hive of industry. In 1880 there were but few white settlers in the entire country, outside of those connected with the Hudson Bay Company's posts, and scarcely a dollar's worth of anything outside of buffalo hides exported till 1883, twenty years ago, and now the Country has a white population of over half a million, the immigration of 1903 being 128,364, 40 per cent of the num­ ber being Americans broujght over by the representations of their conn try- men who preceded them In settle­ ment. Large Quantity of Free . Hflmi«t«»d Lands. There is yet a large quantity of government land for homesteading In this country, and as in everything else, "the early bird catches the worm." Those who come'first are Prst served; When it is preferred to purchase railway or other company lands they can be got at from $5 per acre up. This section cannot be better closed than by showing prac­ tically what is made by wheat grow­ ing in this district. The average from the first of operations is twenty bush­ els per acre. Braking the-prairie, as first plowing is called, Is of course, an exceptional expenditure, as when it is once done, it is done for all time. This costs about $3.50 an acre. After the breaking, plowing and seeding, harvesting, threshing and marketing --all expenses combined amount to about $5.25 per acre, that is if a man likes everything done it will cost him $5.25 per acre. If he does the work himself be is earning wages while producing at that figure. Now, as the average yield is twenty bushels, and the averiwo price 60 cents--$12 per acre--the difference betwen the re­ sult and cost, $6.75, is the profit of grain growing year in and year out in the great wheat belts of the Cana­ dian prairie country. If a tnan has a half section of land and puts half of it, 160 acres, under wheat, which is a very common occurrence, he makes $1,080 on wheat alone and should make, if he is a capable farmer enough, out of other crops, sale of cat­ tle, dairy and other products, to keep himself and family the year round be­ sides. The Third Division.. " The third division of this great country lies' to the north of the wheat beW; "Between it and what is known as the forest country. As wheat grow­ ing implies the raising of all cereals that can profitably be raised in the country, the remaining branches of n<1 later ^-^^Moosejai Drinfcwatar mixed farming are dairying, and the raising of farm stock. It must not be supposed that dividing the prairies in this way is saying that any one por­ tion of the country possesses better soil than another, for such is not the case--all '(districts are equally fertile, but the topography and climatic influ­ ences, etc., differ, as well as the condi­ tions for production. Ranching and grain growing: are carried on quite successfully in' this northern zone; but it is found more profitable to com­ bine all the features of the industry. An authority, on the subject has stated that agriculture in any country r<ever reaches the maximum of de­ velopment until the farmers engage at ieast proportionately in dairying, though the surroundings,must always determine the extent to which any feature of the industry may be prose­ cuted. 1 , Dairying. • In ^he territories creameries and cheese factories are to a large extent under government control, and as such are working well. In Manitoba they are largely a matter of private enterprise, and from the reports from that province they must be giving ab­ solute satisfaction to the patrons and promoters. If a settler's farm is not specially adapted to extensive crop­ ping, or if seasons or other conditions are against the proper development of large crops, he has always plenty of pasture and an abundance of native bay for winter feed. A small cum of money buys a couple of cows, and ha can soon be in possession of a fine herd of dairy cattle, and the cajne may be said of Bwine and poultry. Markets. The mining districts of British Columbia^ " which consume an im­ mense lot of dairy products, are close at hand, .. and always afford a good market for butter, cheese, pork, poul­ try and eggs. When In the future that country Is overstocked Great Britain offers as now a ready market foi whatever may be produced. Taken for all in all, the Canadian Northwest is the country for the man acquainted with, or willing to learn any branch ol farming. In the Industry, with a fen years of care and enterprlre, he can sopn consider himself and his family in easy aad fcomforttble dreuin­ stances. Adding Insult to Injury.

"It's hotter than hell"; but, then, he did not have the soul of wit shown by the Ocean Grove pastor, for he went on to pronounce one of his long but eloquent sermons on the sinfulness of profanity.

HQDTiqyryRE; Tree Growth en Sand Dun«k f® various parts of Illinois auoa neighboring states the sand dunes, formed by the windg in past centuries and not now blowing, are covered with a growth of trees, such lis oaks and maples. The writer saw such dunes in Kankakee County, Illinois, last week. There i3 no better use to put these dunes to than to grow trees on them. But an improvement could be made by cutting off the present growth of trees and seeding to white pines. The latter would make a much more vigorous growth. Or, what is better, the pine seeds might be sown In the groves now standing, and the trees now standing on them cut off for fire­ wood or various other purposes as fast as the pines push up. Tho oaks and maples do not make a large growth on 'Such land. One man said that if the Almighty wanted pines to grow on such soil they would have been placed there. But this hardly settles the matter, in the'minds of most people; as they realize that the Almighty has given us a few problems to work out It is commonly believed that the nat­ ural growth of trees Indicates the character of the soil, and that the kind of trees will grow on any soil that do best there. This Is a safe rule to follow generally, but there are ex­ ceptions to this rule, and such excep­ tions are to be found on these isolated sand dunes. They are like islands in the sea. AH around the surface of the &rth bears trees suitable to a loamy soil rather than to sandy soil. If some birds had dropped the seeds of the pine cone on this land the pines would lrave taken the lead anJ crowd­ ed out the other trees, and the result would have been a Btately forest of pines OH each dune. But whence should the seeds come when the land was covered In all directions with trees of a nature differing from the pine? The natural thing happened* and these dunes became covered with a growth little suited to them. It will pay better to start upon them trees of the kind that find sandy soil the best medium in which to grow. # j Irreverent Youth. Ait; evangelist preaching in Georgia recently saw a well-dressed young man leaving the church. Shaking his finger at the absconder, the preacher thundered: "Young man, would you rather go to hell than to sit here and hear me finish this sermon?" Stop­ ping a moment and scratching his head, the young man replied, "Yes, I think I would," and stepped outside the doors. It broke up the meeting. It is announced that, following serial publication in The Century, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell's "The Youth of Washington: Told in the Form of an Autobiography" will be published in two editions in the fall, one limited to five hundred copies. The August chapters of this unique serial will tell of the circumstances leading to Washington's retirement from the colonial service, and later, of his ap­ pointment on General Braddock's per­ sonal staff. Three Famous Smokers. * Fabulous, things have bees said about Grant's smoking propensities.

In point of illustrations, articles and editorials it is the leading 10-cent magazine. Summer or Winter Apples. "The question is sometimes raised whether it is better to grow winter or summdK apples. * The answering of that must depend on the market for their disposal. It Is generally regard­ ed as a bad policy to plant largely of summer apples, because they must be disposed of in a hurry, and if there are numerous other farmers that have summer apples It makes it necessary for them to all be put into thq market at practically the same time. They cannot generally be kept well In cold storage. The farmer that intends to grow summer apples must be.aple to look far ahead and determine for him­ self what will be the state of tbe market in his vicinity when his sum­ mer apple trees come into bearing.. Most of us cannot do that with suffl* cient certainty to make it safe to do extensive planting. With the winter apple it is different. It has almost a world for its market. It can be kept in storage for half a year, and in some cases can be kept even longer. It can be shipped and reshipped, packed and repacked. The summer apple will not stand much handling. Here and there men have a market for summer 'apples if they produce them, but the market is not so good as it is in the winter. . The summer apple has the late peach and tbe grape with which to compete as well as'the banana. The winter apple has only the banana and the orange, and the latter can hardly be called a com­ petitor on account of its high price and often Indifferent quality. As a safe proposition we would say put in the winter Varieties for a commercial orchard. Lord Chancellor's Anniversary. The earl of Halsbury has completed the ninth anniversary of his third ap­ pointment as lord chancellor. He Is nearly SO years of age. Why It Is the Beet Is because made by an entirely differ­ ent process. Defiance Starch Is un­ like any other, better and one-third more for 10 ceuts. If H. Rider Haggard would atop reading his own stories he might not have such awful nightmajes. , ,4- tv Fall Planting of Trees. •'> " For a large part of the north fa!» planting is profitable, especially for that region lying south of central Illi­ nois and east and west of it. In Mich­ igan the line of territory in which fall planting is safe swings to the north, on account of the mildness of Michi­ gan, due to the influence of the lakes. We have urged farmers in the past to be careful about tree planting as to season, and we still have to give this advice. Fall planting should not be followed in Wisconsin, northern Illi­ nois, northern Iowa and above that, as the trees are more likely to live If planted In the spring. "But where the climate is milder, as in the region in­ dicated, fall planting will be found to be preferable to the other for a number of reasons. There' is more time to do the work in the fall than in the spring, for the farmer finds it necessary in the spring to use every fine day for the putting in of his reg­ ular farm crops. If they are put in in the fall, there is more time in which to prepare the ground. Then, too, there is a longer period in which to receive the consignments. The far­ mer that is fortunate enough to live near a nursery can visit It while the trees are still in leaf and pick out the ones he wants for planting. If any of them, when delivered, are not. jrbat he bargained for, it will be much easi­ er for him to obtain new ones in time for planting than it would be in the spring. Lambs in the Stockyards. : Lambs do not receive very much consideration in the stockyards, whether they be intended for slaugh­ ter or for reshlpping to farmers that are to feed them. The men that do the handling at the stockyards are not the most tender that can be found, and the kind of attention given is vnot what the lambs have been ac­ customed to, If they have been under the care of an intelligent shepherd. The careless dipping of sheep and lambs has resulted repeatedly in the loss of many of the' lambs, and some­ times as many as twenty dead lambs have l>een found in a single car after that ordeal. It is supposed that chill­ ing resulted. It may be too that some of the dips are too strong for tender lambs. The farmers that have lambs to ship will do well to see to it that the lambs receivfe the beat of at» tentlon at this trying time. ; ^ Decide What You Will Do. Tens of thousands of young people with good health, good education and good ability are standing on the end of a bridge, at life's crossing. They hope they are on the right way, they think they are doing the right thing, and yet they do hot dare to burn the bridge they have crossed. - They want a chance for retreat in case they have made a mistake. Tltfey can not bear, the thought of cutting off all pos­ sibility of turning back. They lack the power to decide conclusively what course they will take.--O. S. Marden, in the August "Success." <• Mr. Samuel Merwin, the author of "The Merry Anne" (the Macmillan Co.), was borh at Evanston, 111., 30 years kgo and was educated at the public/ schools of Evanston and De­ troit/and at Northwestern university. He' grew up on Lake Michigan," and knows the lake itself, its shores, the schooners that ply its waters, and the men that sail them, as you can't know a region except by growing up in it. "The Merry Anne" is a breezy tale of lake sailors, a daring band of smug­ glers, contraband whisky, pretty girls and love making--crisply told, 49gen- ious and well constructed. Royalties Use Ifypewriter. Princess Charles of Denmark is an expert typist, while Princess Chris­ tian is also a quick manipulator ol the "keys." Her machine is fitted with German characters as well as English, and she types most of Prince Christian's German correspondence for him. Another royal typist is the princess of Wales, who is extremely quick a®d types a number of her own letters in quite a professional style. n ... Artist Feared Waning Powers. On one occasion the late G. F. Watte, feeling that he was getting old and fearing that his powers might be declining, asked the selection and hanging committees of the Royal academy to "judge his work severely, as he did not- wish to disgrace the academy nor himself. He had seen so much deplorable work of eye and hand that he did not wish to be added to the auraber." ' Care of the Hair.
