The Toyland OF the World.

A Toxic correspondent of an Amerl-
can weekly has much of interest to
say of Japanese toys. Japan is the
original toyland I really think that
Santa Claus must have branch es-
adjustment in Toxic. There are me-
chanical toys that go about as ii they
were alive-tin turtles walking around
on the earthen floor, mice scampering
under counters and around on the
shelves, huge gorgeously-cOlored paper
butterflies and dragon-fies buzzlng
around in the air. There are no toy
carriages in Japan, because in Japan
there are no real carriages. But there
are toy jinrikishas, which are little
two-wheeled carts pulled by little
brown men under great big mushroom
shaped hats instead of by horses. AND
there are toy cages, which are the ODD
est kind of grown-up cradles, that two
men carry, suspended from long bam-
boo poles, upon their shoulders, ana
in which grown-up folks have to ST.
curled I'D Turk fashion, until their feet
go to sleep and they are forced to de-
mand the privilege of getting down
and walking. These are the carriages
of Japan and, as toys, would probably
puzzle the average little boy or girl at
home"

ANOTHER RECORD IN LAND.
HUNTING.
ANS Springs Exodus toCanada Greater

This Springs Exodus toCanads Greater
than Ever.
II was thought in 1903, when over
nlty thousand people went from the
United States to Canada, that the limit
OF the yearly emigration to the wheat
zone OF the Continent had been reach
Ell. But when in 1894 about as large
number Of American citizens signi-
NED their intention of becoming set
tiers on Canadian lands, the general
pubic were prepared for the an
nouncement Of large numbers in 1905.
NO surprise therefore will be caused
when it is made known that the pre-
dlctlons of fully fifty thousand in 1905
are warranted in the fact that the
spring movement Canadaward is
greater than it has ever been. The
special trains from Omaha, Chicago,
ST. Paul, Detroit and other gateways
nave been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them, and others
nave gone relying upon their own re-
sources, satisfied that what others
have done can also be done by them.
This year much new territory has
been opened up by the railroads, which
are extending their main lines and
throwing out branches in their march
across the best grain and grazing
lands on the continent This new ter
r1tory has attraction for those desiring
| to homestead on the one hundred and
sixty acres granted each settler by the
Canadian Government Many also
take advantage of the opportunity to
| purchase lands at the low figures at
which they are now being offered.
| It does not require much thought to
convince one that If Iowa, Illinois,
| Minnesota and other lands, with a
value of from fifty to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre, will give a good
living by producing ten to thirteen
bushels of wheat to the acre and
thirty to fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre, the lands of Western Canada al
seven to ten dollars an acre, producing
from twenty to thirty bushels Of a su.
perior wheat to the acre, should pro
1 uuCC q COLupCIcACC w 1AC y
farmer in very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres OF
such land in Western Canada in add
ton to the other millions that are con
sidered to be portions of the bigges
and best ranges that ever invited thu
cattle and horse producer of the Nortl
American continent What is particu
larly evident in " estern Canada is thu
fact that the wheat lands, adjoinin!
the grazing lands, make farming par
ticularly agreeable and profitable. TIL
agents of the Canadian Government
who are always willing to give infol
nation and advice to intending set
tiers, say that the acreage put unde
crop this season is greatly in excess O
last season.
