Lavender Ties in London.

Word comes from London that the
lavender neoktie is now wrapped
about the neck of every man who pre-
tends to know what he ought to wear.
The prevalence of this fashion is due
to the fact that the king went to AS
cot for the Derby wearing a scarf of
this hue. OF course, the well-dressed
men of London were similarly adorned
by noon the next day. The lavender
scarf has enjoyed long period of pop

While there are no large lakes or

aEnglishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 10000 acres from the
Dominion government An idea of the
growth of the industry will, however,
be gathered. from the fact that in 1899
there were but 41,471 head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches.
These figures ran to SIS, 1923; in. 1900,
and to 100000 in 1903, averaging $40
per head for the owners. But it takes
a great many ranchers' and large
number of cattle to cover an area of
2O0;O00,O00 acres, the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west. !.
1t is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset. Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds, and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth. There is still
in the country plenty of room for
those who desire to go and do like
wise.
The Second Part.

rrairies embraces the great wheat

in the world. 1t includes about $780,

can be brought under the pillow. Plac-

bushels Of spring wheat off S37,234

large Quantity Of Free Homeste ad
Lands.
u There is yet a large quantity of
government land for demonstrating in
this country, and as in everything
else, "the early bird catches tho
worm" Those who come first are
FIRST served. When it is preferred to
purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from IS per
acre up. This section cannot be
better closed than by showing prac7
tlcally what is made by wheat grow
ing in this district. The average from
the first of operations is twenty BUSH
els per acre. Breaking the prairie, as
first blowing is called, is of course,
an exceptional expenditure, as when it
is once done, it is done for all time.
This costs about $3.50 an acre. After
the breaking, blowing and seeding,
harvesting, threshing and marketing
all expenses combined amount to
about $5.2o per acre, that is if man
likes everything done it will cost him
1925 per acre. If he does the work
himself he is earning wages while
producing at that figure. Now, as the
average yield is twenty bushels, and
the average price 60 cents-$12 per
acre-the difference between the re.
suit and cost, $6.75, is the profit of
grain growing year in and year out
in the great wheat belts of the Cana
dian prairie country. If a man has
half section of land and puts half
of it, 160 acres, under wheat, which
is a very common occurrence, he
makes $1,000 on wheat alone and
should make, if he is capable farmer
