THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS

was the advance guard of large
body who are following him, and he
has already invested in several farm
ing sections for himself and others
and purposes TO take up his perma-
nent abode in this country. He went
on to say: Hundreds are coming
from my district alone. / know this
to be a fact, for many of them are
neighbors of mine. The chief topic
of conversation with the farmers is
the coming immigration in the
spring"
''The impression general in the
part of Dakota where / live that
farmers can get from 10 to Is cents
more a bushel for wheat on the
American side of the line than on
the Canadian, has not prevented peo-
pie from turning their eyes to Cam
ada as place to live in. They know
they can get land in this country
which il every bit as fertile as that
in Dakota at about one-quhrter tho

exodus from Dakota into Canada this
year will exceed the expectations of
all Canadians"

from which Something Of value
May he Cleaned.

One of the secrets of perfectly laun-
dered garments is in the starching.
Always turn garments wrong side out
before putting them in the starch, rub
and clap the starch well through. but
do not let bit of it run upon the right
side. Thin materials should not be
starched at all, but should be dipped
into gum water made of white gum
arabic. Especial care should be taken
in sprinkling such garments, as they
cannot stand the drenching which
thicker materials are often treated
TO, says the New York Post.

more. may be "broiled" in the follow
ing manner: Split down the back and
place, spread out as for broiling. in a
baking pan in which there is little
hot water. Cover and allow the
chicken to steam, adding a little water
il it is needed. until it is tender. but
not fully cooked. Then place it on
the broiler, spread with little butter,
and broil. Place on hot platter and
cover with Maitre d'hotel butter. For
this, cream two tablespoonfuls of but
ter. adding gradually the juice of
lemon. a tablespoonful of finely
minced parsley, and a little nutmeg.
This sauce, it may be added, is one
of the simplest and at the same time
one of the most delicious. and is good
with all kinds of broiled meat and
fish.
Every cook should know how to
make three or four simple sauces. for
nothing adds more to the appetising
qualities of meal. The French cynic
who said that the reason why the Eng
lish considered it bad form to dip their
bread in their sauces was because they
had no sauces worth dipping bread
into. had a slight foundation for his
remark. A thick mayonnaise is the
basis for sauce tartare. Add TO it a
tablespoonful of chopped cucumber
pickle, chopped olives. a few capers,
and dash of onion juice, season
rather highly. and toss lightly.

EASY TO PLEASE CHILDREN.
ness mt the same Time They
Are Being Amused.

1t is so very easy to please children
that every simple pleasure one can de-
wise should be given them.
Pleasant surroundings cannot fail
to affect the disposition of child, so
that his nursery and sleeping-room
ought to be made as cheerful as posi-
BILE. The rooms should not be over
crowded with furniture or the walls
with pictures: he should have par
ficular place to keep his playthings,
and should be taught to put them back
in place when through playing. Very
often child will be given a number Of
playthings all at once; he first picks
up one, plays with that awhile, and
then. spying another. perhaps of a
brighter color. plays with that, and so
on. i'll he has tried them all. Then,
not knowing which TO play with, he
becomes peevish and cross; while, on
the other hand, il given one or two
play things at time. he would play
contentedly, says American Queen.
He should have his own blunt scis-
sors. bottle of mucilage and scrap
book. and should be taught to cut out
and paste the pictures in the book
neatly; let him make a litter. but teach
him to clear il up.
Teach him the value of money. He
should have certain allowance, be it
ever so small: so much should be laid
aside for charitable purposes, to buy
flowers for sick playmate or an ar
ticle of clothing for some poor little
one; so much saved for something he
has wanted and his parents could not
get for him. and still another part for
his immediate use. Let him share
whatever he has with his sister or play
mates.
II he wants a pet of some kind,
whether it is eat or dog or pigeon.
by all means let him have il. Let him
care for and feed it himself, and teach
him TO be kind and never treat it
cruelty.
Keep him out of doors, in winter as
well as in summer. Fresh air and sun
shine are the two greatest fonics for
children. In winter always see that he

Do not allow him to stand or sit still,

tiers the house remove his wraps. and
be very careful not to let him 60 too
near the fire. If his hands and feet are
chilled, the heat will irritate them.
Rub them between the palms of your
hands until the numbness has left them
and the blood is circulating freely.
Show your children that you take an
interest in whatever they have to tell
you, and don't put them of by saying
that you are too busy and can't be
bothered with their nonsense. Child

guess-work, and more o matter of
certainty and calculation. knowing
the wants of the plants as to the food
Tor their proper development. and
knowing at the same time the capaci-
ty of his soil for supplying these
needed elements, he would know
whether or not it were necessary for
him to supply any of these elements
from outside sources, and if SO what
elements. and from what sources to
supply them.
Fertilizers.
He would know exactly what to buy
il he depends upon commercial fertli-
izers, and how to apply them SO as to
get the most profitable returns. He
would know the proper value of
home-raised manures in enriching his
farm, and he would know that it was
to his interest to raise this manure,
instead of depending upon chemical
preparations. These home-raised ma
nures not only furnish the same ele-
ments that are contained in CONNER
cial fertilizers, and in better and more
digestible shape, but they also act
upon the soil in such way as to en-
able it to turn loose its locked-up
stores of plant food in increased
quantities from year to year. In this
way they permanently enrich the
farm. Chemical fertilizers do not act
in this way; they simply furnish a
given amount of ready-made plant
food. Hence they stimulate the
growth of the present crop without
increasing the capacity for the next
crop. They act more as stimulants.
liberalization.
The educated farmer. knowing these
things, would naturally fall into d.
versified agriculture and stock rails
ing. He would not depend upon any
one given crop. For these, and
thousand other reasons of similar ma
ture which might be given, had we
time, the farmer emphatically needs
to be educated.
How to Sell.
He also needs to be educated to
know how to dispose of lie products
of his farm, to study and understand
the markets that he may know when
and where and how to sell, that he
may not be entirely at the mercy of
other classes of tradesmen-for the
farmer is emphatically and necessari-
~ tradesman; not only producer,
but a merchant, the original mer-
chant. But this opens field too
wide for present discussion. We all
know too well that the farmer has
long been suffering because other
parties fixed the prices of what he
sold, as well as of what he bought.
The farmer should be educated that
he may stand socially equal to those
of other professions. Thehigher order
of intelligence always commands the
respect of those below. The more
intelligent class will always be re,
spected by those of the less intelli
gent Farmers can never expect tc
be socially and politically equal to
others until they become intellectual
ly so. Their education, while tech
nical, should be broad; and while sci
entific, should be practical. Having
the broadcast calling, they should have
the broadcast education. They should
take in all the sciences they have
time and capacity to master, because
all sciences contribute to this great
science, which stands ahead of all
