San Francisco, Dec. 22.-Chinese la
borers are rushing into Canada by
the hundreds and on every steamer

only required to pay S..

In the semi-arid belt in North
Dakota, macaroni wheat last yeal
gave thirty bushels per acre, which
sold at 10 cents bushel, and ordinary
wheat twelve bushels an acre, which
sold for 10 cents bushel. The con-
ditions for growing the two kinds of
wheat were identically the same.
This difference in favor Of the maca-
roni is worthy of consideration by the
farmers, not that all should now Ego

that farmers should make an intelli-
gent and decided effort to grow that
product which will bring the best re-
turns. Farming need not be the hap

been regarded, but instead should be-
come what it can bean exact science.
