Canada's "CircUs WOr2ed Posters"
Reviewed by Secretary Coburn.
Apropos Of the tide OF western farm
ers into Canada F. d. COburn, secre-
tary of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, has prepared statement well
worth the attention of those farmers
of Kansas and other states who are
turning longing eyes to the cheap Cana
dian lands. Secretary COburn's COM
parsons with Canada are of his own
state alone, but much of the statement
| is quite applicable to other western
states. Among other items are the fol
| lowing:
| Kansas is a producer Of some great
agricultural statistics, and they reveal
| degree Of prosperity without parallel.
| They also tend to make competitors
uncomfortable and seem to suggest that
those who are already here would do
we'll to stay. For some time Canada
has been disseminating circus worded
circulars about the productivity Of her
soils and their wondrous crops, especial
I&tress being given to her possibilities
as wheat raiser. but official statistics,
recording what has actually been done,
show that the state of Kansas alone
in each of the years 1900, 1901 and 1903
produced more wheat than did the
whole Dominion of Canada, in the three
years aggregating 26S,S1TS16 bushels,
or more by nearly 45000,O00 bushels,
or over II per cent, than the total pro-
duction Of Canada for the same years.
And most any year any three or four
Of the most eastern counties in the
northern tier yield more corn than is
grown annually in Canada.
Of course Canada is not without her
advantages, for possibly less than six
of the twelve months she furnishes ex-
cellent skating, sleighing and tobog-
gaming, and her dairymen have estab-
lished reputation for industry and
thrift But the same energy and CAPT
tai invested in Kansas, where climate
is milder, winter shorter and less ex-
pensive shelter necessary, would doubt
| less bring greater returns, as Kansas
produces in abundance the best of milk
making feeds, and markets are near
by.
There is no likelihood of Kansans be-
| ing persuaded that their lot can be i'm
proved by moving away, but to dissat-
isfied farmers in other states and even
those who are subjects of king the
true story of Kansas agricultural pro-
auctions and possibilities as compared
| to those of Canada would seem like a
! fairy tale
| Many authentic instances might be
cited where the value of one seasons
crops in Kansas has more than met
! the entire first cost of the farm.

C,hIoroform Fame Man Wants Them
In Same Fold With Other Doctors.
DR.. William Osler. formerly Of Johns
Hopkins university, recently made his
farewell address to the medical profess
sion of Maryland before leaving for his
post as regius professor in the Univer-
sity of Oxford, says Baltimore spe-
cial to the New York World. The title
of DIR. Osler's address was Unity,
Peace and Concord In part DR.. Osler
said:
) 81 leave you today in charity. l have
tried to harm no man, though l may
have shot an arrow here and there
which struck some one in the distance
If so now ask his pardon.
II have striven with no man, for
have a deep conviction of the hateful
ness Of strife and it's utter uselessness.
ITO you all, to my brethren here, to
you who labor in a greatsfeld in the
counties doing great work for small
returns and to you who engage III the
special branches Of the profession |
leave to you the greatest of all things,
charity.
ct is now time that the homeopathic
brethren were coming into the fold. 1t
Is now long past the time when a diff
ference In drugs should separate men
with the same hope The homeopaths
are awake, but they must realize the
anomaly Of their position. The original
quarrel is ours, but they should not al
low themselves to be separated by a
shibboleth that is inconsistent with
their practice today. And the rent in
the robe of Aesculapius is more griev-
Gus in this country than elsewhere In
the world.
Like the church, the physician has
three enemies = namely, ignorance,
which is the sin; apathy, which is the
world, and vice, which Is the devil
This willful and helpless ignorance Of
weapon Of the tongue.
1.-THE most dangerous foe is apathy
Thirty-f five per cent of deaths in COM
munity are due to apathy, which goes
to counterbalance the advance of medi-
cine in the last century. What advan-
tage is there in prosperity when the
comforts Of life are not enjoyed? What
advantage has the little red school
house when in many Of the most i'm
portant relations of life we have failed
to make use of our knowledge? Against
vice we have to wage incessant war
fare, advising the young against the
evils OF impurity."

An Automobile Fire Department


The municipal authorities Of Vienna
have determined to abandon the use of
horses to draw their fire apparatus and
to equip their service entirely on an au-
tomobile basis, says Harper's Weekly.
The Vienna fire department is consid-
cred the best equipped of continental
Europe, and within ten years it has re-
placed all obsolete apparatus with the
most modern and useful devices. The
first step taken was the ordering Of
f1fty,three motor chemical engines and
wagons to replace those previously
drawn by horses and which are most
useful for dealing with small fires
When this has been accomplished the
horse drawn steam fire engines and the
extension ladders will be changed or
replaced lin some way not as yet deter
mined. 1t is claimed that increased eff
ficiency will follow the innovation.
while there swill be a saving of some
SIS, 800 per annurn in the cost of main
tanning the stations for which the fifty
three sets Of apparatus have been or
dered. The outlay will be about $177,-
600.

SOFT CHEESES.
Dairy Experts Tell of a Growing
Market For Them.

Dairy Experts Tell of a Growing
Market For Them.
An indication of the growing popu-
larlty OF soft cheeses is the large de
mand for the varieties sold under vari-
Gus brands as Neufchatel and cream
cheese. The basis for most of these
is the common cottage or Dutch"
cheese and many of them are merely
sweet or sour curd put in an attractive
and appetizing form The manufacture
of these varieties is comparatively sim
pie, with practically no danger Of loss
They are sold and eaten when fresh.
Further, they will yield a larger
amount OF Salable cheese from the
same quantity Of milk than other vari-
cites, and they bring prices almost as
high as the best imported cheese.
Very naturally these cheeses form
the basis Of a profitable industry But
here, too, we find that the common
American product is different from the
cheese in Europe going under the same
name. The Neufchatel cheese of Eu-
rope is ripened cheese, but the cheese
going by this name in the United
States is usually unripened curd with
an attractive wrapping. Some of these
American products, however, are high
~ favored and compete favorably with
certain ripened types that are import
ed. All Of them command a far higher
price than the ordinary hard cheese
High Profit In Soft Cheese.
1t is certain, therefore, that there is
an established and rapidly growing
market for the best types of soft
cheese The profit in the manufacture
Of the hard types of cheese is exceed
ingly small both to the factory and to
the producer of milk, but the prices of
the highest class of soft cheese 40
cents or more per pounO are so much
higher than the prices of the hard
cheeses that the introduction of theif
Manufacture should be great benefit
to the dalrymen
The fact that soft cheese will no!
keep very long gives an especial adj
vantage to the domestic over the for
eign producers ii the products can be
made of equal merit. For such perish
able products there is great advan-
tage in an intimate relation between
tie maker and the consumer.
Factories near enough to a large city
to supply the demand with cheese al
ways ripened to exactly the prime con-
dition should easily be able to control
their home market if they can once
control their product. 1t seems posi-
bic that there will be an advantage
nearer the small cities, at least, in their
production by individual dairymen
who could dispose Of their own product
In a restricted market.

Motor Fishing Boats.

Scotch fishermen have introduced
fishing boats driven by motors, says the
New York Tribune. Experiments have
demonstrated the great advantages Of
such boats over sailing craft in calm
weather or when the wind is unfavora-

fully 10000 boats working at line and
net fishing, in addition to 100 or more
steam trawlers.
