WESTERN CANADA AROUSING
GREAT INTEREST.
The Wonderful Yields of wheat-At-
tracing Thousands.

Until the last five or six years but
little attention was given to that
vast area of producing land
lying north of the 10th parallel and
Immediately adjoining the northern
boundaries of Minnesota and Dakota.
The Canadians themselves were
aware of the wealth that lay there,
but being unable to fully occupy it,
they have asked the Americans to
assist them in converting the land
from it's virgin state to one that will
largely supplement the grain-produc'
ing area of the North American Con
tinent, and the response has been
most liberal.
During the year 1901 upwards OF
10000 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
ment in Canada as it is to extending an
invitation to the American to follow
those who have gone.
Those who have charge of the work
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, and
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 the
writer has most positive assurance
from the Canadian Government that
there are thousands of such home
steads to be had, and in one of the dis
tricts now being opened up fully as
good as the best, and it is probably the
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, Sault
Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich; To-
ledo, Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota;
Grand Forks, N. Dakota, and Great
Falls, Montana, and the suggestion is
made that by addressing any of these,
who are the authorized agents of the
Government, it will be to the advantage
of the reader, who will be given the
fullest and most authentic informa-
ton regarding the results of mixed
farming, dairying, ranching, and grain
raising. and also supply information as
to freight and passenger rates, etc.

cure that lasts:
Mr.. A. w. Lutz, carriage wood

says: after procuring Doan's Kid
ney Pills in the month of November,
1897, l took a course of the treat
ment which cured me of backache
and other annoyances due to over
excited or weakened kidneys. Dur
ing the three years, which have

THE SEA CUCUMBER.
oreer Marine Animal to BE Found

The sea cucumber is most curious
looking animal. 1t owes its name to
its queer shape, which IS not unlike
that of cucumber with a bunch of
leaves at one end. They are found in
all seas, but particularly between Asia
and Australia and the Red sea. The
sea cucumber is covered with tough,
leathery skin, and some of them look
1bIack and wrinkled, appearing as if
they had been made out of the upper
leather of old shoes; but many of the

WHEN BETTY BAKEs THE CAKES

When Betty bakes the buckwheat cakes
Ny bosom swells with pride;
I then forget my life's mistakes
And smile, we'll satisfied.
The chilling wind outside the pane
To ddscord vainly wakes.
II cannot move me to complain
When Betty hakes the cakes.
Now. some there be whose broidering
is ladylike and fine;
And some most daintily do sing
Or write in phrases fine.
But though my admiration st.rs,
nv loyalty neer shapes
Their cieverness Is naught TO hers
When Betty bakes the cakes.

When Betty bakes the cakes.
