LARGER SCHOOL BUILDINGS RE
QUIRED.

Owing to the recent large influx of
population into Western Canada it
has become absolutely necessary in
many parts of Manitoba, Assiniboia,
Saskatchewan and Alberta to in
crease the school accommodation. In
many places buildings have been
erected that are only half-occupied.
This is perhaps as good evidence as
will be found not only of their salts
faction with their present school sys-
tenn and their confidence that it will
remain as it is, but also of their firm
belief in the future expansion of the
country, in increased immigratio
and it further indicates that they
have little fear that the well estab-
lished rate of births in civilized COM
munities will not be maintained
there.
The free homestead laws and the
cheap railway lands offer great in
ducements, which are opening up the
new settlements. Agents of the Gov
eminent of Canada are actively at
work in different portions of the
States for the purpose of giving in
formation to possible settlers, and
advertisements are now appearing in
a large number of papers, giving the
names and locations of these Agents.

Vegetables Out of Season

A man well versed in horticultural
lore tells the Farmers Review that
most of the fruits and vegetable
grown in hot houses out of their sea-
son are of exceedingly poor flavor,
though they bring fancy prices on
the markets. He says: Cucumbers
thus grown have the color of cucum-
bers and the shape of cucumbers, but
that is all. The same is true of to-
matoes, which have the rudy cheeks
of those grown in the open fields, but
lacking almost entirely their flavor.
Nevertheless, the real test is, from
the fruit growers standpoint, what
they will bring in the market, and
judged by that test the growing of
fruit out of season is to be encour-
aged.

Vegetables in the Cellar

All vegetables keep better at a low
temperature and, excepting in the Sc
verest weather, the cellar window
may be kept open during the day, at
least, if it is on the south side. II
also helps to keep the cellar sweet
and fresh. We know there is no need
of an ill-smelling cellar. Vegeta bles
properly buried and an open window
in all suitable weather will prevent
unsavory odors. Have a regular
time for closing the window, as you
do for any other "chore," and all
will be well.

WOMEN OF THE
UNITED STATES
Regard Peruna Their Shield Against Catarrh,
Coughs, Colds and Catarrhal Diseases.

Catarrh is an old scold. Even the
strongest and most robust are liza BILE
to colds during the winter months.
A cold, if neglected, is almost certain
to cause catarrh of the head, which
rapidly spreads through the system,
setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs,
stomach or pelvic organs. What a
host of winter ailments would be pre-
vented by preventive is we'll S a cure
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-01-03

for colds.
Peruna is such remedy. If taken
at the first symptom of catching cold
it heals the catarrhal condition before
it becomes established and makes inn
possible a spread of the disease.
Should the cold be neglected and re-
suit in catarrh, Peruna will cure, but
it will take much longer and will result
in much unnecessary suffering.

Since the Stats can be adjusted to any
unevenness of the ground, it is possible
TO exclude anything that fence can
reasonably be expected to turn.
The second type is made of shorter
Stats, three or four inches long, and
these may be supplemented above by
one or more wires sire etched from post
to post. j. @. A. Rahm has built such
fence about his nursery. He uses
Stats three feet long, none less than
half an inch thick, and sets his posts
in spring, waiting until hot weather In
August and September before putting
up the Stats in order to have the wire
fully expanded at the start. The wires
are simply crossed between the Stats
and are kept taut, while building, by
a barrow loaded with about 1000
pounds of stone and placed 100 to 400
yards ahead of the workmen. Near
the barrow the wires are secured to
a single tree made of piece of stout
timber, a log chain being passed around
this and secured to a weighted bar
row.
Rabblts are very easily caught, not
withstanding their well known cum
ming. One of the simplest and best
traps used for the purpose is made
of rough fence boards six inches wide
and about two feet long. These pieces
are nailed together so as to make an
oblong box, one end of which is closed
with a short piece of board, while the
other is provided with board con-
sisting of another piece of board which
