FLOCklNG INTO CANADA.

immigration from Dakota and Adjoin-
ing States-Major Edwards, United
States Consu1-GeneraI at Montreal,
Describes the Movement as Due to
Scarcity of Land.
Montreal, Nov 15-Major Allison
Edwards, United States consul general,
who returned to-day from visit to his
home at Fargo North Dakota, said in
an interview: 1.-THE proper way to de-
scribe the manner in which the people
of North Dakota are coming over into
Western Canada is to say they are
coming over in droves. Among the
people there did not seem to be any
thought of there being a boundary line
at all. It Isl simply question" added
the major, "of there not being any
more land in North Dakota and the
surrounding States, and the people are
focking to Canada to get good farms.
Naturally the number that will come
over will increase all the time, and
may say the people you are getting are
the best people in the West. They are
well supplied with money and are well
acquainted with the conditions under
which they will have to work" The
agents of the Canadian government are
prepared to give the fullest information
regarding homestead and other laws.

Look Back and See What You Lost

Look Back and See What You Lost
Just look back over the day and see
where your energy has gone. See how
much of it has leaked away from you
in trifes. Perhaps you have wasted
it in fits of fretting, tuning, grumblng,
fault-fnding, or in the little frictions
that have accomplished nothing, but
merely rasped your nerves, made you
irritable, crippled you, and left you eX-
hausted. You may have drained off
more nerve and brain force in a burst
of passion than you have expended in
doing your real work. Perhaps you
did not realize that, in going through
your place of business like mad bull
through a china shop, you pulled out
every spigot and turned on every fau-
Get of your mental and physical reser-
voir, and left them open until all the
energy you had stored up during the
night had run off, Look back and see
whether your scolding, fault-fnding,
criticising, nagging, and what you call
reading the riot act" to your employ
'es, has helped you in any way OF ac-
compished anything. No; you only
lost your energy and self-control, your
self-respect, and the respect and ad-
miration of your employes.-Orison

RECENT WATER SURVEYS.
New Zealand Lakes Not Large. but
Found to Be Very Deep.

FOuHO TO be very Deep
The government of New Zealand set
lot of men at work a while ago col
lectlng facts about the fresh-water
lakes of New Zealand. One part of
the work was the taking Of soundings
for the purpose of determining the
form of the lake basins.
These surveys have covered all the
more important lakes. They are all in
the north island except two, which are
nestled below the snow and glaciers
of the New Zealand Alps in the south
island. The surveyors have discovered
remarkable fact about these two
mountain lakes.
They had to splice their sounding
wire to reach the bottom in each Of
these lakes. Though they are not very
be among the deepest lakes in the
world.
Lake Manapouri is about twice as
large as Manhattan Island. 1t is long
and narrow and not remarkably deep
excepting in one area embracing near
ly three square miles, every bit of
which is over 400 feet beneath the
surface.
The greatest depth found was 1853
feet. The highest and deepest slopes
of the mountains hem in this deepest
depression of the lake bottom.
Lake Wakatipu is 40 miles long and
about five times as large as Manhat-
tan Island. It's greatest depth is 1912
feet, in which respect the other lake
beats it; but the remarkable thing
about Wakatipu is that few lakes
reach so great an average depth. The
entire water surface, covering 1f2
square miles, is on an average TOT feet
above the bottom of the lake.
Lake Superior is the deepest of our
lakes, but it's average depth is only
four sevenths that Of Lake Wakatipu.
The New Zealand lake has double the
average depth Of Lakes Michigan and
Ontario, three times that of Huron and
ten times that of Erie.
Some persons may think these lakes
are so deep because they are hemmed
in by mountains. But probably none
of tie Alpine lakes Of Europe is so
deep as these two fresh-water sheets.
Possibly the only inland bodies Of wa
ter surprising them in greatest depth
are the Caspian, with 2,4OO feet, Tan
ganika, with 2,10O feet, and Baikal,
with 1850 feet.

Mrs. ALA Schwartz, Sanborn, Mimi.
writes:
81 have been troubled with rheuu7a-
fsn1 and catarrh for twenty years.

why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrh.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna las become
so Indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.

Greensboro Female College Burned.

Greensboro, n. c., Feb. 1S.-Fire
early this morning destroyed the
historic old Greensboro Female
College, the loss aggregating in the
n~eighborhood of $65, 200. The build
ing and contents we're insured for
$4,000 for the benefit of the bond
holders and this amount will be APP
piled to the bonded Indebtedness of
the college ($4O,OOO) when a settle
memnt with the insurance companies
is made. None of the insurance was
held in the Greensboro companies.
The fire was discovered by Miss
Mary Hardin, a student who occu-
pied a room on the third floor of the
west wing at the rear. When she
first saw the fire the flames were
bursting through the roof over the
music rooms at the real of the ros-
trum in the chapel, which is located
on the second floor of the central
wing. She gave the alarm, which
was flashed to all parts of the build
ing, and the eighty or ninety occu-
pants escaped without injury. The
fire alarm was turned in at 2.25 and
the iremen responded promptly, but
when they arrived the building was
enveloped in flames. Two streams of
water we're turned on the fire from
a four-inch main which runs out to
the college, but it was soon realized
that the building would be con-
sumed.
Hundreds of citizens assisted in
removing furniture, trunks and 9TH
er property, and most of the con-
tents of the first and second floors
was saved.

Tarboro Southerner: While in
some sections of the county there
has been not much moving compar-
atlvely there are a number of instan-
ces where everyone or nearly every
labOrer has left. On one farm where
between fifteen and twenty plows are
run only one family remains. An
other near the Swift Creek Oil Mills
told the reporter to-day that he had
two hands with which to cultivate Il
seventeen horse crop. These instan-
ces are extremes, but farms where
there is a decided scarcity of labor
are not as rare over as we would
wish. In short they are too numer-
Gus to be pleasant.

Business Men Who Want Your Trade.
pears on page 3.

We have especial pleasure IN in
PRODUCING to our readers this week a
number of old reliable business firms
that have not been represented in
our columns for some time. The De
Laval Separator is one of these, and
every dairyman who reads The Pro-
gressive Farmer should make haste
to get the new De Laval catalOg. A
postal will bring it. The Johnston
Harvester Co., Batavia, n. Y, is one
of the oldest and most successful i'm
plement manufacturing firms in the
country. Read their announcement.
Mr.. John A. Young, of Greensboro,
advertises his nurseries and makes
a special gift offer to readers who
mention The Progressive Farmer in
ordering. The Occoneechce Farm
ad is again with us. Now is the best
time of year to get new blood and
good blood into the poultry flock, and
Occoneechee stock is famous for
quality.
A new strawberry is advertised by
Mr.. Oscar L. Morris on page IA.
Read his special offer.
Biltmore Farms have a new IN
nouncement in this number, regard
ing their poultry and Berkshires.
Look it UP.
Sherwood Higgs & Co., offer to
send samples of their dress goods on
request.
The Bostrom-Brady Manufacture
ing Company, SO W. Alabama St.,
Atlanta, Ca, have a special large ad
in this number which we commend
to our readers. There is much force
in their appeal: "Don't pay hundreds
Of dollars for fertilizers and let the
rain wash them away when you can
buy a Bostrom Improved Farm Level
with Telescope for $40 Gone without
Telescope for So, and save it all by
properly ~terracing your farm. For
irrigation and rice culture bitches,
tile drainage, road building, laying
out orchards, obtaining angles and
foundation levels, there is no better
instrument made" Write for de-
scriptive circular and treatise on
terracing. This subject deserves
more attention than it receives from
our farmers.
