The story is told of Baron Komura
that he evidently made a slip of his
tongue when he spoke at a dinner a
short time ago in calling Admiral Togo
a lobster. Now to an American a lob

name to call such a hero as Togo has
proved to be. This was called to the

The desire to capture some specimens
of musk oxen and bring them to the
United States is of long standing, but
all efforts in that direction have failed
until the arrival of the one brought by
Captain Bodlish in 1901. While the
habitat of the musk OK is so inacces-
sible as to make its capture one of
great difficulty, yet the greatest OBJ
stacle was the opposition of the In
dams who warned the party that the

Buffalo" Jones an Ok Hunter.
Hon. G. J. Jones, of Topeka, Kans.,
better known as Buffalo JONES'" has
hunted the musk OK and he relates how
on one occasion he and his companions
had captured alive yearlings out of
enc herd. The journey hOmeward with
the animals was begun, the men driv-
ing the animals, which were all tied
to single rope. On the third day the
men awOke to find that the Indians had
cut the throat of every musk OK. They
were determined that none of these
animals should be taken out of the
country alive. The Jones party were
not willing to return to the hardships
first encountered in order to get an
other herd with the prospect of another
loss in the same manner.
Thrives on Scant Rations.
Musk oxen are found in the barren
lands of British America, the Parry
Archipelago and other lands to the
northward of the continent. They
prefer rocky, barren ground and noun
tains where grass and other food are
scarce. The musk oxen possess great
vitality and endurance; their breasts
are as broad and well developed as that
of Norman horse. The meat on the
ham extends well down to their hooks.
While they vary in length from 81
feet to 8 feet, they are in appearance
much larger, due to the huge mass of
woody hair covering their bodies. Gen.
eral Greedy, the explorer, in his gov
eminent report stated that he came
across one which weighed over 1000
pounds, although he stated that the
bulls usually vary from $50 to 500
pounds; the COWS weigh about 20
pounds less. The flesh of the musk OK
is excellent; in fact, the Greedy party
owed much of its health to its diet of
this sort of flesh.

HUNTING.
This Spring's Exodus toCanada Greater
hu,

inns Syringe Exodus toCanada Greater
than Ever.
III was thought in 1903, when over
fifty 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
ed. But when in 1884 about as large
number of American citizens signi-
lied their intention of becoming set
tiers on Canadian lands, the general
public We're prepared for the an
nouncement of large numbers in 1905.
NO surprise therefore will be caused
When 1t is made known that the pre-
dlctions of fully fifty thousand in 1908
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
have been crowded. Many have gone
to join friends and relatives who have
prepared homes for them. and others
have 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
lards on the continent. This new ter
ritory has attractions for those desiring
to homestead on the one hundred ANA
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.
1t 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 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 ut
seven to ten dollars an acre. producing
from twenty to thirty bushels of a SUI
perior wheat to the acre. should pro-
duce competence to the ordinary
farmer in a very few years. These
are the facts as they confront the
reader. There are millions of acres OF
such land in Western Canada in addi-
ton to the other millions that are con-
sidered to be portions of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited the
cattle and horse producer of the North
American continent. What is pal-ticu-
larly evident in " estern Canada is the
fact that the wheat lands, adjoining
the grazing lands. make farming par
ticularly agreeable and profitable The
agents Of the Canadian Government,
who are always willing to give infor-
nation and advice to intending set
tiers, say that the acreage put under
crop this season is greatly in excess of
last season.

WHITE OR DARK EGGS.

In some sections the demand is for white
shell eggs and in other sections just as
insistent for eggs with brown shells. The
demand for brown eggs Is better for the
poultryman, for it enables him to keep
plymouth Rocks Wyandottes or
Brahmas, all of which will furnish the
brown egg and at the same time a splcn-
did carcass for the market while II he
wants the white egg and Il pure bred fowl
at the same time he must depend largely
on the White Leghorn which, as IA car
cass fowl, Is about as poor a specimen of
chicken as one wishes to eat. To obtain
a white egg and large carcass Is not so
easy but one may obtain an egg nearly
white by breeding the White Plymouth
Rock or White Wyandotte males to White
Leghorn females. The eggs are not of
that pure white shell lain by the pure
Leghorn but they are much lighter in
shade than the highest egg laid by Ply
mouth Rocks, while the carcass Is but a
little if any smaller than that of the Ply
mouth Rock. and the egg production is
about between the Rock and the Leghorn.
