A MINNESOTA FARMER WRITES
OF WESTERN CANADA.

Is Now Located There-Farms Being
Rapidly Settled by Former U. s. Resi-
dents.
The following extracts from letter
written to MI. Benz. Davies, Canadian
Government Agent at st. Paul, Mimi,
give all excellent idea of what is said
OF Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years:
When we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near Dales-
boro. ASA, for short time we had a
tit of the blues but now all hands
are settled to business hale, hearty and
we nave ever seen. We have got very
comfortably situated, with considerable
preparation for crop, and all hopeful.
l think this is a very fine country, and
! ii the past seasons crop is not an ex-
ception, which they claim not, believe
this IS going to be the wheat field Of
the west. 1t is filling up fast. In this
township last spring there were TWEEN
! ty'lve quarter sections of land vacant,
ana to-day there is not one; can stand
at my house and count ten houses
Where there was not one last spring,
with SIX more to 20 up this spring.
This is only a sample of what is going
on all round. We intend to build a
church next summer, right close to my
pace so we will be strictly in line 1t
would have amused you to have been
here last spring. There were crowds OF
land seekers, and sometimes in the
spring the prairie is not very inviting,
ana OF course lots were disconnected.
mere was one in the crowd who jump
eu on me for putting letter in the
paper, only for which he never would
nave come here, and he was very hos
tile, but eventually he got place and
to-day claims he would not take a thou
sand dollars and move out; so l am
glad he is satisfied.
wv ell, my dear sir as Arthur Finney
IS ABOUT to move out in March, with
his family, and also one of my sons,
anything you can do for them to assist
them along and to make things smooth
as possible will be greatly appreciated
by me. l will close for this time, and
will write from time to time to let YOU
know we are living. Drop us a few
lines to let us know how things are
moving in St. Paul

DeVOnShirc's SINGING Men

Devonshire, England, has lost it's chief
Singing man. The singing men of
Devonshire'' are those who preserve and
chant the old West Country songs and
ballads. James Parsons was a hedger by
profession and a musician by allure. He
was known Throughout the 2unty as

the fact that some years ago, after an
evenings bout, he took and won a bet
that he would go on singing until sunrise
and never sing the same song twice.

FARM AND GARDEN.
killing Weeds.

When the land has been plowed in the
fall the farmer sometimes objects to cul
tivating or cross blowing the field early in
the season because the hardy weeds put
in an appearance almost before frost
leaves the ground. This is in favor of
the farmer if he will give the subject the
proper view, as he can destroy the weeds
by loosening the soil, allowing warmth to
enter, thus forcing the weeds to germi-
nate, so as to destroy them before the
seeding of grain is done. The earlier the
weeds can be started the fewer there will
be later on if the cultivator is used fire.
