GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields Of Wheat-Ats
tracing ThOusen nds.

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that
vast area of grain producing land
lying north of the 10th parallel and
Immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves Iere
aware of the wealth that lay tbkre.
but being unable to fully occups it.
they have asked the AmericansA to
assist them in converting the. sand
from its virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-pttosiuc-
ing area of the North AmericaF Con-
tinent, and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards OF
20 900 from the United States went
over to Canada, being induced to set
tie there by the reports that reached
them of the success of those who had
preceded them during the previous
years. This 10000 was increased to
10000 during the year 1902, and it is
fully expected that there will be fully
$4,000 during the present year. The
work of the immigration branch of the
Canadian Government is not now be-
ing directed towards giving informa'
ton as to the advantages of settle
nent in Canada as it is to extending an
invitation to the American to follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the worh
point with considerable pride to the
success of those who have been in
duced to take advantage of the Offer
of 100 acres of land free in Canada, anG
have no cause to hesitate in continuing
the invitation. Many of those interest
ed say there are no more free home
steads to be had in Canada, but th'
writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government tha
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully a
good as the best. and it is probably thu
best.
The Canadian Government has estab
lished Agencies at ST. Paul, Mimi.
Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo-; Chi
cago, ILL.,; Indianapolis, Ind; Milwau
kee, Wis; Wausau, Wis; Detroit, Saul
Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich; To
ledo, Ohio; WateriowA, S. Dakota
Grand Forks, N. Dakota, and Grea
Falls, Montana, and the suggestion
made that by addressing any of thes'
who are the authorized agents of tn
Government, ii will be to the advantag
of the reader. who will be given tn
fullest and most authentic informs
ton regarding the results OF mike
farming, dairying. ranching, aud graz
raising. and also supply information

rot you in debt7 Was il not raising
cotton? Yea, verify. And raising cot
ton will keep you in debt.
Again, we are met with the argu-
ment that we must plant cotton be-
cause it is the only crop that we can
get credit on. And we must have help
to make crop.
Here it is again. This is the crop
that keeps you in debt because you
can mortgage it and eat it up before
you gather and deliver it. When you
quit cotton you will not need to go
in debt or give mortgages. Leave on
or greatly reduce the cotton crop
this year.-Southern Cultivator.

A NOTE OF WARNING.
AZ Prevailing Prices Almost Any
Crop Will Bring the Farmer
More Money than Cotton.

We feel called upon to raise note
Of warning to our readers. The pres
ent indications all point to an extra
effort to grow cotton. Very many are
arranging to raise from one bale to
two per acre. The efforts in this di-
rection are not single or isolated.
They are well distributed and quite
numerous. And they are praiseworthy.
They are on the line of progress and
success. They look to the increased
produetiveness of the soil and to bet
ter seed and better cultivation to pro-
duce these better crops All OF these
will help to cheaper the raising OF
the cotton. This is highly commenda-
BILE. but still it tends to increase the
crop. Then, again, the fair prices o.
the past two seasons are stimulating
the cotton growers to plant more.
Again, the gradual, yet steady, growth
Of farming in the south will OF IT.
self increase the acreage in cotton.
There will be much more land in cui-
t,vat;on in the south this year than
,rv former year. Now, we feel that
Il is necessary, in view of these and
many other reasons, to warn our
readers that there IS danger in plant
,nr cotton this year. Now. while SO
many will rush on to loss and ruin, is
vour time to steer FOR safe and sure
thing. Every other farm product Is
bringing good prices. You can make
money by planting any and all CROPS
besides cotton.
Al the prices now prevailing any
thing pays better than cotton. heee
our advice and give attention to al
kinds of crops that feed men and am
mails. Grow hogs. cows. sheep. chick
ems: anything that can be sold in tn
market will pay you better than cot
ton. This is one time when you car
take no risk in raising supplies; vege
tables. fruits, melons, hay, corn, oats
wheat, peas, pinders. sugar-can'

-. rice, and 20 other crops that grow
IN the south.

Called shoulders are very common
in the spring when the horses are
first put to work, and are easier pre-
vented than cured, especially If the
animal is kept at work. 1t is very
important to see that the collars and
harness fit properly; then the collars
should be kept clean; keeping the col
lars well oiled will be help. Wash
the shoulders at noon and night with
soft water after removing the bar-
ness. When the teams are stopped
for a rest in the field, pull the collars
away from the horses shoulders; in
this way gals may generally be pre-
yented.-Midland Farmer.
