PROSPERITY IN CANADA.


One of the first things that the

the development of Western Canada
has been SO rapid. and the conditions
Of life there so widely known, that up
wards Of 100000 Americans have
taken up their homes there, and the
experience of these people II that
they are thoroughly satisfied with
their choice Of home.
The methods of farming there are
similar to those adopted in the United
States, but the operations are SIM

the profits more satisfactory. Ranch
ing is carried on with lots of success.
Mixed farming is always profitable,
while the results in grain-raising are
ss certain as splendid soil, excellent
climate and lots of sunlight can give.

ANYNUMRER OF ANTI.FATPEoPLE

The anti-flesh people are mighty
scarce. When it comes to losing good
solid flesh from any cause there is a
general protest. Losing flesh means
weakness, nervousness, lack of ambi.

sickness with the pain and misery, as
well as the worry Of expense and doc.
tor bills. Persons who realize that
they are losing flesh would do well to
act in time, 60 as to avoid the coming

wig, which is large and parted dowr

beside the body. and a little wooden
