What are the people u the United
States going to do to escape the mani
fold evils they fear, not without rea-
son, from the operations of the gigan-
tic trusts which are being formed a.
most daily in every part Of the coun-
try? This is a question that agitates
not only the poor man, but the man
Of moderate capital. In years gone by.
the man of energy out Of employment
or the man with small capital was
able to go farming in the United States
with every prospect OF securing COM
potency for himself. But the day when
Uncle Sam wns rich enough to give
every man n farm has gone by. In
discussing the question OF the future
welfare of the increasing population
of the continent with Mr.. j. A. Smart,
deputy member of the interior for
Canada, who was found busy with his
superintendent of immigration in their
Office mt Ottawa, Canada, Mr.. Smart
made the statement that there is now
very little homestead land in the Unit
ed States. and the man who seeks for
tune in that way must now look else
where. II fortunately happens that we

been about 80 bushels per acre, in one
or two years It fell to about IS bushels,
but even that production with present
prices will yield large profit, the cost
OF raising an acre being placed by ex.
perts ut from five to seven dollars per
acre. ft
Wheat, however, Is not the only
cereal grown. The crops of oats, bar
ley and peas are phenomenal. Oats
were found by delegates visiting the
country to yield from 60 to 90 bushels
to the acre, while In some instances
they have been known to exceed 100
bushels. One delegate states: "The
grain stood five feet six inches high,
the heads were more than IL inches
long and each chaff case 10 found to
contain not one but three perfect ker-
nels Of oats" What other country pro-
duces such oats?
The yield of barley is enormous and
the quality Is SO superior that 1t ID
sought after by brewers everywhere at
several cents per bushel more than that
grown In other countries. Peas, too
yield splendid crop. They are en-.
tirely free from bugs and grubs, and
being used for hog fattening they
give splendid results both in quality
of meat and in the weight gained by
the animals. To the fact that the hogs
nre fed on peas instead of corn experts
attribute the entire absence from the
country OF hog cholera, SO familiar in
some of the western states. 1t must
not be supposed that corn will not
grow in Western Canada. 1t does grow
there to n height Of ten to twelve feet,
and is used for ensilage and occa-
sionally for fodder.

tunity for acquiring land or getting
into lucrative business Of some kind
that is equal to any even offered in
this country. Some years ago the
people of the United States were ac-
customed to see Canada figure on the
maps MS long narrow strip of land,
with scattered villages and towns
along the St. Lawrence and great
lakes. 1t is hard, therefore, to realize
that n rival nation, with territory
vastly larger than the whole United
States, has risen upon our northern
border and has set about making u
great future for itself, building fac
tories, levcling mountains, filling up
the valleys, bridging rivers, digging
new and charging old canals, con-
structing thousands of miles of rail-
ways to bind together its territories
and carry the fruit of the earth to
distant market and make easy of ac-
cess its enormous resources of timber,
mines and agricultural lands.
Since the accession to power OF n
vigorous, up-to-date, progressive gov
eminent, determined that the world
shall know what grand country Can
ada is and what unparalleled oppor-
tunities it offers, the Ignorance that
heretofore existed regarding the coun-
try is rapidly diminishing.
The area Of Canada, all told, is
3,456,3s2 square miles. The mind can
scarcely comprehend the vastness OF
this area. The distance through Can
ada from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
is roundly 1900 miles. In Ontario and

weighing three pounds were SO plenti-

Beets, carrots, turnips, ETC., also grow

minion, there Is not much farming land
available, but westward of Ontario, in
the old Hudson Bay territory, now
known as Western Canada, there are
hundreds Of millions OF acres Of the
choicest land on the continent all
ready for the plowman. There
nre the provinces OF Manitoba, CON-
prising $4,000 square miles; Assinaboia,
about 10000 square miles; Keewatin,

100000 square miles; Alberta, 100000

States has filed up, no similar block
Of agricultural lands awaiting the set
tier Is to be found anywhere else.
Lord SelkirlS In 1879 prophesied That
these plains Of Western Canada would
yet maintain a population ofaoo,gpo,-
600 souls. And why not? Last year
Manitoba alone had nearly 2.ooo,0Co

There is an experimental farm in Mani
toba and another in the northwest ter

In oats, in n three years continuous
test ut the Manitoba farm the average
