People who are susceptible to the
cold should make a. point OF wearing
loose clothing in cold weather. Loose
garments are always warmer than
tight-fitting ones. not only because
they allow room for circulation. but
because they permit layer OF air be-

The widow wrote a note Of thanks, and
before she sent it she showed 1t to
somebody who told the story. This is
what she said:

so much for remembering Fido's birth

The winters are by no means dfscom-
forting. The air Is crisp and dry, and q
temperature of 40 degrees below zero is

This is the testimony of all who have

BILE IS in the East.
The wheat of Western Canada Is well
known to be extremely hard, and the yield
from 30 TO 80 per cent more than in the
States south Of boundary line. Here is
an easily explained reason for this: In
winter the frost penetrates the ground to
a considerable depth; the sub-soil through
out the intense heat OF the summer is
kept moist by the slow melting OF these
deep frosts. The moisture, ascending to-
wards the surface, nourishes the roots
of the grain. stimulating growth and pro-
ducing the bountiful crops for which this
region Is now so Justly famed. Again,
the sunshine Is little longer just when
needed, when the heads are ripening
there being nearly two hours more day

FIRST OF July than in our State of Ohio.

directed to it. In fact, not long since
prominent American writer, in an article
on the supply Of wheat in Europe and
America, stated that to the north of the
international boundary there IS but q
fringe of land capable of producing
wheat. Since the accession to power in
Canada Of an energetically colonizing
government a great deal has been done to
dissipate these errors, and to place this
future great country In its proper light
before the rest Of the world. As q mat
ter OF fact, wheat can be successfully
grown as far north of the international
boundary as Fort Simpson, at the juno
ton Of the Lizard and Mackenzie rivers.
Now this point. let it be noted, is as far
northwest of Winnipeg as Winnipeg is
northwest of New York City. The great
American writer, though skillful with his
pen, was not quite up to date with his
facts.
An Enormous Area.
Leaving out Of consideration 100000
square miles Of Keewatin, lying between
Ontario and Manitoba. the 49,, 900 square
miles of British Columbia with its untold
yet prodigious wealth Of forests, fisheries
and mines, and emitting Athabaska with
its area of 1900 square miles, which is
north of the great grazing country Of AL
berta, we have Manitoba, Assiniboia, AL
berta and Saskatchewan left. These give
us in one solid block a territory unexcell-
ed for farming purposes extending 400
miles north and south and 900 miles east
and west. The area embraced herein is
mark it well-359,OO0 square miles.
This is almost entirely virgin territory.
Hundreds of millions of acres are here
ready for the pillow. 1t has been pros
pected and tested sufficiently at different
points to prove that it is all fit for settle
ment. To appreciate its extent. let us
draw line through Harper's Ferry, from
the northern boundary Of Pennsylvania
to the southern line Of Virginia, taking
all west of that line to the Missouri river,
including West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana,
Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.
We shall then have in the United States
a territory no greater in extent and not
one whit superior in agricultural re-
sources to the territory in Western Can
ada just mentioned. This great agri-
cultural and pastoral country is, as re-
cent writer said, as large as the whole of
