Erench-Cnnasllans.

The French Canadians of the Rhode
Island mill regions differ from their
kinsfolk of Europe in having un-
usually large families. Some have
as many as ten children, and a
physician who once practiced in such
community included among his pa
tients u family of twcnty-three chill
dren, thirteen of whom he brought
through the measles at the same
time. Many of the Frcnch-Canadian
mill hands own farms in Canada, and
camc to the United states with the
hope of earning money with which
to pay off mortgages Many OF the
children work in the mills. and such
family will aggregate consider
able income. These people are ac-
customcd to simple living, so that
they are able to save q large part OF
their earnings. A family of which
six or eight members are wage
earners soon saves enough to pay off
the mortgage and return homo to
live on the farm debt free.

year and of 237 100000 as compared

Farms for the MILLION.

The marvellous development of the
states of Minnesota South Dakota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming. within
the last few years has attracted atten-
ton in all parts OF the world. 1t Is
not necessary, however, to search, far
for the causes of this wonderful
growth, for this entire region, which
Is penetrated by the Northwestern
line, teens with golden opportunities
for enterprising farmers, mechanics
and la porers who desire to better their
condition, Here are lands which com
bine all varieties of soil, climate and
physical feature that render them most
desirable for agriculture or commerce.
Rich rolling prairies capable of raising
the finest quality of farm products in
luxurious abundance, can still be Sc
cured at low prices and upon most
liberal terms, and in many cases good
productive farms can be purchased for
scarcely more than the yearly rental
many eastern farmers are compelled
to pay. Reaching the principal cities
and towns and the richest and most
productive farming districts Of this
favored region, The North Western

Profitable Poultry.

THE poultry industry as branch Of
farm industry is one that rests upon a
basis of dollar and cents, just as does
any other part of the farm business
With the same care and attention in
proportion to it's Importance and
magnitude it will turn out as many or
more clearly earned dollars as any part
of the farm business. 1t is always as
tonishing to read compiled reports OF
transactions in poultry products. The
totals run up beyond our belief, and yet
every one knows that the poultry bust
ness is sighted beyond that of any
and all others to VIII ich the farmer de-
votes his attention. 1t is not worked
ut all for what II is worth, and we are
fully satisfied that large proportion
of farmers are in losing business
under their present manner in hand
ling the poultry interest even in
Il small way. Because we are
shown large aggregates of fg-
ures all along the lines of poultry
farming we need not jump at the con-
clusion that it always and regularly
signifies SO much of profit. There is
in fact not one single thing the farmer
can turn his hand to nowadays but
that the turning point toward profit
or loss lies right before his eyes on the
surface of things, and it simply de-
ponds upon himself which way the
balance will tend. With intelligent,
well-directcd effort profit is sure;
without this, loss is inevitable. f AR

WHrrE ELM-The American white
elm is one of the finest shade trees on
this continent. Some of the finest
treets in New England are of this va
riety. Mr. Bedford has tried Ontario
seed at Brandon Experimental farm,
but finds the young trees will not
harden enough to stand the western
climate. The same variety or nearly
so, is common here, and seed from it
produced quite hardy seedlings, which
grew from to feet in a year. There
are now some thousands growing on
the Brandon farm which are being
trimmed for avenue trees and Mr.
Bedford expects them to replace the
maple.

At Slight Expense IL IL Possible to FIT
Your House with Inoandescents.
New York Press: Mr. j. A. Corcoran
Of Jersey City has just completed n
novel experiment in the application of a
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant, though an experimental
one, is now in operation without as
yet single mishap. and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four incandcscent lamps in MI. Corco'
rams residence, Everything points to
the complete success of the scheme.
The mill has diameter OF eighteen
feet, and at a speed of twenty miles
an hour is capable of delivering three
horse. power The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges set
of storage batteries 1t is so designed
that throughout the wide variations OF
speed of the windmill it maintains the
potential constant. Mr. Corcoran
says that the application of a windmill
to run the dynamos of an electric
lighting plant will place electricity In
the homes of thousands, who can thus
secure their motive power from nature
A windmill is not very costly struc-
ture, and any one who owns bit oil
open land about his residence can
erect one and fit up his simple electri'
cal apparatus inside of it. The thou
sands of windmills one sees in travel
ing over the country, if Mr., Corcorans
scheme proves a permanent success,
may be utilized for lighting the resi-.
dences of the owners and those of
their neighbors, as Well as drawing
water for stock One windmill will
light half dozen residences at the
same time.
The machine in Mr. Corcoran S wind
mill occupies floor space of only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
high. The dynamo has q maximum
current capacity of thirty-live ampercs
al thirty-fve volts and is put into
action when the speed is GOO revolu-
tons per rzinute that is, when an
eight-mile breeze g blowing.
A great thing that deferred expert
meiits witR windmills was the wind
r Itself butt is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
ed on throughout the United states
While the maximum and the minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
seasons at the sea-coast and in differ
cnt localities, the average rate OF ~
miles can be obtained at almost any
| point in the country. Near the sea-
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will be made throughout the
country to apply the plan of general
ing electricity with the aid of wind
So il will be readily seen that the util-
ization of the waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front.
| Engineers now study applications
which were hardly considered proper
for a sane man to consider dozen
| years ago. +.
