ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WESTERN CANADA.

w. r. Nilburn, John Holmes, NJ. r.
Dagger, E. L. Stetson, of Buena Vista
County, Iowa, report as follows of the
Canadian Northwest as to its situa-
bility for farming, and the advantages
it offers to the agricultural immigrant
from the United States: I'VE came here
solely to look up improved farms and, if
suitable, to select such as pleased us
best. We have not visited the home
stead districts at all, though we believe
them to be very inviting. Our inquiries
have been confined solely to the district
around Hartney, Deloraine and towards
the Souris River in Manitoba. Our i'm
pressions of all that region are in every
way satisfactory, and we have decided
to 60 back to Iowa at once, and, having
disposed of our several interests there,
to return to Manitoba in the month of
March next, and, effecting our purchase
of improved farms, which we find we
can do at reasonable rates, Immediately
begin farming. We are greatly pleased
with all that we have seen in that part
of Western Canada. The soil we find
to be more than equal to that of our
own country for wheat-growing, and
the other conditions of climate, schools,
! markets, ETC., are all that we could wish
for.
ITO show what an energetic man can
do we may mention that we found one
such at Hartney who had rented farm
on shares, receiving two-thirds of the
returns as his share of the crop. When
he came to sell his own produce he
found that his two-thirds, when con-
verified into cash, was enough to buy the
farm he rented out and out, which he
accordingly did, and is now its owner.
1t is our intention to induce as many of
our friends as possible, who GO prac
teal farmers, to remove from IL a to
this country, where we believe there is
a better future for the industrious man
than is now to be found anywhere on
this continent. We are we'll known in
/ our part of the State of Iowa, and we
invite correspondence from it's resi-
dents in all parts with regard to this
region of Western Canada which we
have visited, and to which we intend to
return"

and get to bed as quickly as you can"
"All right, l guess l will" muttered the
tipsy host, drowsly. "But tell me your
name, anyway. | want to know the name

AS his eloquence and voice were waxing

NEW USE FOR GLASS.
CeramOcrystnl Successfully Used In
the Construction of u Street
in Lyons, France.

John c. Covert, United States consul
at Lyons, reports that last October a
paving company there began laying
piece of pavement of ceramocrystal or
devitrifed glass, laid in the form of
blocks, eight inches square, each block
containing 16 parts, in the form of
checkers, fitted together SO that water
cannot pass between them, and the
whole pavement looks like one large
checkerboard. The advantages claimed
are that it offers greater resistance
than stone; that it is poor conductor
of cold, and ice will not form upon it
readily; that dirt will not accumulate
upon it as easily as upon stone, and
that it will not retain microbes; also,
that it is more durable than stone, and
just as cheap. The new product is OBJ
tanned from broken glass, heated to a
temperature of 1,250 degrees, and COM
pressed in matrices by hydraulic force.
The firm manufacturing this material
proposes to have a large house con-
structed entirely of glass as one of the
features of the coming Paris exposition

AdvantaEes Of Direct Buying.

Certain manufacturing institutions have
in recent years inaugurated new system
of diisposs,ng of their products which is un-
sumner. Among the pioneers in this new
method of doing business was the Elkhart
Carriage and Harness Manufacturing COM
pany of Elkhart, Ind. These people began
this plan 26 years ago and have adhered to
it strictly ever since. The result has been
SO entirely successful that they are to-day
the largest manufacturers of carriages and
harness in the world selling to the con-
sumner exclusively.
The advantages to the consumer are al
most beyond estimate. He gets better goods,
better and larger selections, and he buys at a
much lower price. There is no risk, aS this
firm ship vehicles or harness everywhere for
examination, and guarantee every article
they manufacture and sell. The Elkhart Car
riage and Harness Manufacturing company
publish large illustrated catalogue, which
they will cheerfuy mail to all who requestit.

The Celery WebvvOrm,

Prof. W. G. johnson. Maryland state

in the gardens of that state. He calls
it the celery webworm. as it spins
a delicate web in and about the plants

tects it while feeding. When it attacks
the celery the plants look as if blighted.
the leaves whiting and turning brown,
but in such cases the worm or its web
will be found. Thus far it has worked
mostly upon the self-blanching varie-
ties. but has been seen upon others.
This may prove only local attack, and
it may not be seen again for several
years. if at all. but celery growers will
do well to keep on their guard against
it. even if hand picking is necessary to
exterminate it when it appears.-Amer

Peach trees are not classed as hardy,

spring. They are only used to trans
plant the first season after being bud

their peach trees out over winter to be
dug in the spring, but protect them root

handled in the early spring. But what
are termed hardy trees, such as the APP

shade trees can be set fall or spring with
safety.
Hardy trees are best to transplant
when two years old. When raised in
