ALL CROPS GOOD IN WESTERN
CANADA,

"Potntoes the Finest I Ever Saw"
Owing to the great amount of inter-
est that is being taken in Western
Canada, it is well to be Informed Of
some Of the facts that are bringing
about the great emigration from por-
tons of the United States.
The Canadian government have au-
thoriZed agents at different points, and
the facts related in the following may
be corroborated or application. At the
same time they will be able to quote
you rates and give you certificates Ell
titling you to low rates on the differ
ent lines of railway. The following
letter. copied from the North Bend
(Neb.) Eagle, is an unsolicited teStlmo-
NAL. and the experience of Mr.. Austen
is that of hundreds of other Americans
who have made Canada their home
during the past seven or eight years.
Il presume some may be interested
to know how we have progressed this
year in the Canadian Northwest. We
have no complaint to offer. We have
had II good year; crops were good and
we have had a delightful season. |
thresled from my place $3.50 bushels
OF grain. My oats made Go bushels
per acre and weighed 42H pounds per
hushel. My wheat made 81. bushels
lrcr acre and is No. / quality. My bar
ley made about 80 bushels Of good
quality. My crop is a fair average Of
the crops in the Edmonton district.
"-Aii crops We're good here this seal
son. Potatoes the finest | ever saw,
and all vegetables adapted to the eli
mate. We have had a very fine fall,
but 10 exception to the rule, as the
fail season is, | think, the most pleas
ant Of The year. We have had no snow
yet CNov. y. and have been blowing
and working the land preparing for an
early seeding next spring. Last night
the mercury dropped lower than n
previous night this fall, and this morn
ing there is a crust of frost on the
fields sufficient to prevent field work.
No doubt many would imagine that AL
beita had put on her winter %overcoat
before this, and that the people were
wrapped in furs. but it is only a ques-
ton of time when this country will not
be looked upon as an iceberg. but a
country fit for the best of mankind to
live in.
We are now assured Of n transconti-
mental railway, which is to be built to
the Pacific during the next FIVE years.
The Canadian Northern Road is graded
to within seventy-hve miles Of Edmon-
ton. 1t comes from Winnipeg. and
will reach us next summer, so with
one railroad already at hand, the sec
ond to reach us in less than a year,
and the third to penetrate II city

Frost Bite.

There are other way OF getting
fros1-hitten aside from going boldly
out and letting Jack Frost nip your
fingers and toes. a very common
method is to come home with cold,
wet feet from a long drive. or from
outdoor work, aud place the feet or
hands in warm water on before the
fire. The one who does this. and not
many escape il during the cold months,
is frost-bitten to all intentS and pur-
poses, say .. II. Stovall Of Grants
Pass, Ore, in the Epitomis;. The best
way to treat frost-bite is the old meth
cd of rubbing the affected parts with
snow. This cottXes back the lost vital
ity. After the GOODNESS and numb
ness subsidies, put the hands or feet in
moderately cold waser and continue the
rubbing process. No warmth should
be applied for some time. Blood poi
son from froSt-bite is too frequently
the result of coming in and rashly
thrustinG the numbed hands or feet in
to Il basin of warm or hot water. On
the American farm chilblainS are usu-
ally about the extent of frost-bite,
though not m~frequcntly we read of
mountain ranchcIS and even farmers
of the more densely inhabited localities
freezing TO death. AS before limited it
is not always tl" extreme lownesS of
temperature to which ones feet or
hands are subjected that causes the
deadly blood poisoning, but is the sud
den change, either from cold to heat,
or from heat to colo. Thus moist cold
is much more dangerous and difficult
to withstand than dry: and that eX-
plains why the fastener, accustomed
to II temperature of y. l6 or even 80
