Can Raise Enough wheat o. supply
Britain All she Requires
from Abroad.

Toronto, Nov. 10th.--The World com.
ments on the report of the United Em-
pire trade league on the capacity OF
Canada as granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of At millions
acres. DeductiDg ten million for lakes
rivers, townsites, and waste land, az
100000 acres are left for farm cult
vation or homes for 10000 families on
800 acres each and as up to now there
are only 27,o0o farmers there altogeth-
er, that leaves room in one province for
ss,oos more wheat growers. Suppos-
ing, then, We got them there and each
one of them out of his 900 acres grows
on an average 100 acres at 20 bushels
to the acre, if you figure it up you will
find it is quite possible for Manitoba
alone to supply us with all the wheat
we require from abroad. 1t is only a
question of money, and, comparatively
speaking, not money either. The cost
of one first-class battlcship (about
s75o,oo0) would put 5000 families on to
farms in the North West, allowing G $50
to each TO find them in implements, |
seeds, horses, &c. Would keep them
until their first crop was harvested. |
Five thousand farmers, averaging 100 |
acres of wheat each at 20 bushels to the
acre. means an extra 10000. 900 bushels,
for if that scheme is not liked Britain
would put duty on foreign wheat.
In addition to the wheat lands of
Manitoba there are the millions of

Beware of 0fntments for Catarrh
That Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense OF
smell and completely derange the whole sys-
TEN when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be
used except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is
often ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
o., contains no mercury, and is taken inter
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
