WESTERN CANADA IS ALL
RIGHT.

Delegates representing a number of
neighboring farmers in Clay county,
Mimi, who visited the Edmonton dis
trict of western Canada last summer
are evidently very well satisfied with
the result of their trip. They think so
we'll of the country that, in addition to
the privilege of obtaining a free home
stead of 160 acres of land, they have
also purchased land. In recent inter
view on the subject, Messrs. c. E. and
A. Hughes, of GAINESVILLE, Clay county,
say:
1--WE are well pleased with western
Canada. 1t is far ahead of what we
expected. AS for the crops, we have
never seen anything that can compete
with them. We have lived in Mime
sofa and have farmed some of what
they count the best lands in the Red
River valley for ten years, and have
done very well in that part of the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent free of all encumbrance. but be-
lieve that this country (western Can
aGa) is so much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail
way company one section of land
northeast of Edmonton, in the Beaver
Hill district. We have travelled through
that part of the country. and have seen
the grain in the granaries and the
amount of land that it was taken off
and find that they have grown as much
as so bushels and over to the acre, and
tLey say that this has not been good
year, and very little if any grain has
been touched by the frost. Hay seems
to be plentiful, and if you wish to put
up log buildings you can get the logs
within few miles. Coal can be had at
the mines for rs cents per ton. or you
can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds
of garden truck can be grown in abun-
dance. We find everything that can be
grown in good demand. The farmers
tell US that they can get four and a
half live weight per hundred for hogs,
and for three-year-old steers from $50
to $50 per head, providing they are
good. We will move into that part of
the country next summer All the peo-
pie in that part of the country seem sat
isfied. and we do not see any reason
why they should not be So"
Messrs. Hughes also stated that they
would be very glad to afford anyone de-
string particulars about the country
they had visited the fullest informa-
ton, on receiving inquiries at Barnes
Vile, Clay county. before the first of
June next, when it is understood they
propose to return to the Edmonton dis
trict.

SUMATRA TOBACCO.
How the Fragrant Leaf Is Cultivated
for the Market in the
Islands.

Sumatra, upon the equator, "the half
way house of the world" is one of the
most beautifully situated of the isles
OF the summer seas. The high noun
tain ridges on the west slope down and
spread out in great green plains to the
fertile eastern coasts, where the low
swamps at the waters edge breed fatal
germs of tropical disease. The large
settlements and most of the attractive
districts are on the west coast, the hills
rising steeply from the ocean. Here
thrives luxuriantly the coffee tree.
Near Deli, on the straits of Malacca,
large areas have been devoted to to-
bacco culture. On the lower east coast
estates more than $4,000 coolies toll
with the ardor known only to the germ
proof people, in this malarial land.
The wild mountaineers of Sumatra
are in striking contrast to the gentle
Javanese. When the Dutch would have
conquered them they retired to their
mountain Businesses and waited for
malaria to lay low the European foe.
AS seen in Sumatra, tobacco planting,
which is the principal agricultural in
dustry, is described as carried on in the
most picturesque way in the world.
The jungle is first cleared, and this is a
costly and difficult undertaking. When
the ground has been laid as bare as pos
sible by telling trees and firing the un-
dergrowth, the whole area is plowed
by buffalo teams. This must be con-
stantly carried on, as tobacco can only
be grown for one year, and then the
ground must be allowed to rest for
eight or ten years. After blowing the
land must be thoroughly drained by
means of expensive canals. The to-
bacco seed is sown in the spring and
carefully protected from the sun by
means of mating.
When certain development has
been reached the. young plants are
planted at equal distances apart. The
tobacco plant arrives at maturity about
the end of June. After the leaves have
been gathered they are dried in enor-
nous sheds. These sheds are con-
structed most artistically of wood,
bamboo and mating, and are provided
all around the sides with adjustable
mats for regulating the supply of air
TO insure perfect drying. 1t is the bust
ness of the King coolies to build these
sheds and to keep the roads in order.
The tobacco is then stored, pressed,
sorted and packed and finally piled in
the buffalo wagons for shipment. 1t is
taken to Belawan, and from here will
find its way to all quarters of the globe.
1t will be treated in factories by mod
ern machinery, win be handled by all
sorts and conditions of men and women,
and finally smoked by careless, prosaic
men, who know nothing of the sum
mer isles of Eden,' to whom Sumatra
on pearly seas is but a name.
The Samaritan leaf is never used to
make whole cigar, but because of it's

RESTRICTIONS ON TRADES.
Curious Specimens of Legislation in
Great Britain in the
s O1den Times.

There are many instances of curious
acts passed in connection with restric-
tons on trades and professions, and in
some cases an element of humor enters
into them when judged by the stand
ards of to-day. The want of confidence
in lawyers, which rightly or wrongly
is somewhat commonly entertained, is
at least as old as the times of Henry
VI, for an act was passed in 1851 to re-
duce the number of attorneys in the
eastern counties. The act shows that
there were upward of so such in Nor
folk and Suffolk, and their numbers
were mercilessly reduced to six in Nor
folk, six in Suffolk and two in Norwich.
A statute of Henry VII. Q4S9) enacted
that no butcher should slaughter cat
tie in any walled town-a restriction
likewise extended to Cambridge. AS
though the gambling of the South sea
bubble period had cast its shadow be-
fore, an act of 1897 strove to limit the
number and restrain the i'll practices
of brokers and stock jobbers, and after
the disaster of that time another act,
in 1884, aimed at preventing certain
infamous" practices of stock jobbing.
A law, not of restriction but of relief,
was that of 1712, eXempting apothe-
carries from serving the offices of con-
stable, scavenger and other parish du-
ties and from liability of being called
upon to act on juries. A bill that passed
into law in 1923 provided against jour
reymen shoemakers pawning boots,
shoes, leather and other materials, and
establishing rules for regulating them.
The matter of servants certificates of
character is still burning question,
and an act of 1892 sought to prevent the
fraud of counterfeiting them. Several
laws passed in England and Scotland
had empowered justices of the peace to
fix the wages and piece work of arti-
ficers and other workers, and this ar
bitrary power was withdrawn under
George III. (1S13).-Cornhill Magazine.

A critic has lately called attention in
Literature, to Kipling's astonishing out

with that of other celebrated authors of
the same age. Among those whose ca

thinks of Byron, who died at thirty-siX:
but the writings of Byron may easily
be gathered into a single volume.
Scott at thirty three-Kipling's pres
ent age-was only writing the Lay of
the Last Minstrel, Marmion The Lady

gin his splendid series of novels until
he was forty-three.

Thackeray had written but seven

Hawthorne at three-and- thirty had
produced only Twice Told Tales.
Cooper had only Precaution and The

Irving had only two books and How
