A PAPER for the Million.

The Western Rural and American
Stockman, one of the oldest farm
journals in this country, is a journal
of large size, and filled with literature
which not only represents agriculture
and its kindred interests in their
highest sense, but devotes much space
for the Entertainment of the farmers
family, on the ground that the farm
er and his family are of much i'm
p%ortance as the farm.
We find in its columns, also, able
articles devoted to tho discussion of
the economic and social questions of
our times. But above all it believes
in education, and the general infor-
nation in regard to public affairs
which is necessary to fit the people
for self.reliant citizenship. TO this
end The Rural has assisted in the
establishment of a School of Agricul-
ture and is doing u great work in say.

towns and cities. The subscription

The Calendar.

How many men who have a calen-
dar of the year hanging beside their
desks-how many of the people who
can't keep house without an almanac,
know that three hundred years ago
a very important change was made
in Il reckoning of time! Up to the
time of Julius Caesar, the Romans
divided the year into ten months, of
unequal lengths. One of the chief
purposes of Il calendar is to mark a
fixed date as the beginning of a year,
and to do this. it should be always at
the same distance from the spring
and fall e%quinoXes. In the time of
Caesar, the science of astronomy was
not very exact, and the small error of
eleven minutes in the length of the
year was made. In the sixteenth
century the churchmen, who had a
great many religious festivals, found
that whereas the equinox was on
March 25th when the Julian Calen-
dar was made, in 1852 it had fallen
back to March 18th. The great festi.
val of the church, Easter, was thus
getting back into the winter. Pope
Gregory XIII, came to the rescue,
and after consultation with the learn
ed of the day, issued, in October, 1882
a brief by which the date was arbi.
trarily advanced ten days-and that
is our PRESENT. calendar. Russia, un-
der the Greek church, did not follow
this, and still keeps the old style. To
always have the correct date in your
home or office, get one of the calen-
dars issued by "The Burlington" and
to meet your engagements in other
places, buy your tickets over that
line.

Where the Next Boom,

Where will the boom strike next!
many people ask. Where is the next
new region to be developed by rail
ways, to receive Il great rush of popu-
lation, to build towns in a month and
to make fortunes in real estate spec,l-
lations? The answer is, nowhere.
There is no new country left, except
Alaska. and that is Il soddcn forest,
enveloped in almost perpetual night
for half the year and incapable of
agricultural settlement. Western
progress i'll the future will consist of
steady improvement of districts al
ready we'll known and thinly occupied,
and already accessible by rail. New
roads will be built, new towns will be
founded, e mines will be discover
ed and new Industries established,
and there will be speculative oppor-
tunities for years to come, but the
era of the creation of new states in
the wilderness is definitely closed.
The next marked advance in the pop
ulation will he made in the Dakotas
and Manitoba, for the reason that on
the great plain that extends from the
Manitoba lakes to the Missouri in
South Dakota there still remains
hundreds of thousands of fertile acres
not yet occupied by settlers. Now
that the climate of this great prairie
country, with it's alternating dry and
wet periods is we'll understood, and
safe, profitable methods of h,1sbandry
can be practiced, the region will sure
ly attract u great tide of immigration.
The towns are established and the
railways built and the new settlers
will go upon the soil with alb the COM
forts of CIVILIZATION right at hand. The
higher price of cereals and cattle now
prevailing and the recent success in
wool growing in both Dakotas gives
these states new attraction for home
seekers. The foreign immigrants Ire
the first to take advantage of their
cheap lands, but in another year or
two they will receive a strong move
ment of American farmers. The
population of the United States is in
creaslng so fast that it cannot be
many years before the last reserve of
good prairie land will be occupied
