The returns Of the Interior Depart
ment show that the movement of
American farmers northward to Can
ada is each month affecting larger
areas Of the United States Time was,
says the Winnipeg Free Press, when
the Dakotas, Minnesota and Iowa fur
nished the Dominion with the main
bulk Of its American contingent. Last
year. however, forty-fOur states and
districts we're represented in the Of
fetal statement as to the former resi-
dence of Americans who had home
steaded in Canada. The Dakotas still
head the list, with 4,006 entries, Min.
nesota being a close second with 3,Ss7,
but with the exception Of Alabama
and Mississippi and Delaware every
state in the Union supplied settlers
who, in order to secure farms in the
fertile prairie country Of Canada, be-
came citizens Of and took the oath of
allegiance to-. the Dominion. Last
year no less than 1854 Americans
entered for homestead lands in Can
ada.
From the Gulf to the Boundary,
and from ocean to ocean, the trek to
the Dominion goes on. Not only the
wheatgrowers of the central Missis-
sippi valley, but the ranchers Of Texas
and New Mexico, and the cultivators
of the comparatively virgin soil OF
Oklahoma, are pouring towards the
productive vacant lands Of the Cana
dian Northwest. 1t is no tentative,
half.hearted departure for an alien
country that is manifested in this
exodus; 1t has become almost a rush
to secure possession Of land which it
is feared by those imperfectly ac-
quainted with the vast area of Can
ada's vacant lands, may all be acquir-
ed before they arrive. There is no
element Of speculation or experiment
In the migration. The settlers have
full information respecting the soil,
wealth, the farming methods, the
laws, taxation and system of govern
ment OF the country to which they
are luOHluB' anu NhSy ACeii@S 'hoS 'AS
opportunities offered in Canada are in
every respect better and greater than
those they have enjoyed in the land
they are leaving.
Canada can we'll afford to welcome
cordially every american farmer com
ing to the Dominion. There is no
question but that these immigrants
make the most desirable settlers OBJ.
tainable for the development Of the
prairie portion or the Dominion. Full
information can be had from any au.
thorized Canadian government agent
whose address will be found else
where in this paper.

How 70 Keep House.

With all the Iuxuries and pleasures
Of this life, its big enjoyments and its

with in the form Of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifing as
some OF them may be, the risk Is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-

fore, of this kind that we have a
right to triie with. Taken In time,
the worst forms Of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
FREQ use Of St Jacobs Oil. No well

ance against pain.
