ANOTHER RECORD IN
lAND-HUNTING.
This Springs Exodus to Canada
Greater Than Ever.

1t was thought in 1903, when over
forty-ive 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
reached. But when in 1904 about as
large a number of American citizens
signified their intention of becoming
settlers on Canadian lands, the gen.
eral public 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-
dictions Of fully fifty thousand more 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,
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 car 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
territory has attractions for those de.
string to homestead on the one hun
dred and sixty acres granted each set.
tier by the Canadian Government
Many also take advantage of the ops
portunity to purchase lands at the low
figures at which they are now being
offered.
1t does not require much thought
to convince II that IL Iowa, Illinois
Minnesota and other lands, with &
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 at
seven to ten dollars an acre, produc-
Ing from twenty to thirty bushels OF
a superior wheat to the acre, should
produce a 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 add.
ton to the other millions that are con-
Bidered to be portion of the biggest
and best ranges that ever invited thu
cattle and horse producer of the North
American continent. What is particu-
larry evident in Western Canada lie
the fact that the wheat lands, adjoin-
Ing the grazing lands, make farming
particularly agreeable and profitable.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, who are always willing to give
information ana advice to intending
settlers, say that the acreage put I'M
der crop this season is greatly In ex-
cess of last season.

FRENCH PRESS COMMENT.

h PrO-Russinn Press Criticise the
Governments action.
Paris, April 24.-Some of the news
papers of Paris, commenting upon the
expulsion of the Russian second Pa
cific squadron from French territory
waters in Indo-China hold that France,
in seeking to render exact justice to
Japan has been unjust to Russia.
The Echo De Paris, which is strong
ly pro-Russian, says that Frances in
sistence upon Rojestvensky, leaving
Kamranh bay will have the effect OF
making him an easy prey to Togo, as
the Russian ships, being driven from
all points without being able to take
on coal, must put to sea with half
filled bunkers, being thus crippled at
the moment of meeting the enemy.
"And this is neutrality %scornfully
observes the Echo De Paris. The same
paper quotes the French regulations
authorizing belligerents to take on
sufficient coal to reach the next lort,
and maintains that the next port is
V~ladivostok. Therefore, the Echo De
Paris asserts, France has not given her
allay's squadron the benefit of French
neutrality laws.
The Temps criticises the Saigon re-
port that Russian merchant vessels
have been forbidden to take on the nee-
essary coal to enable them to reach
the nearest Russian port. The paper
maintains that the ships have the
right to take on sufficient coal to last
them to Vladivostok, which is the
nearest Russian pert.

THE COMMUTERS WATCH.
Set by Almost Every Passing Train
and Never Up to Schedule
Time.

"Commuter, eh?" asked the matchmaker
Is he examined a timepiece that was
brought in for repairs.
YES. Why?" said the owner, accord
ing to the New York Times.
"The watch shows it." went on the
watchMaker. "It's been set two or three
times q day. That's a commuter habit.
The arrangement for setting the hands
has been worked overtime.
"The commuter is always anxious lest
he miss his train, and he keeps setting
his watch by the passing trains, having
more faith in the railroad schedules than
he has in his watch. He keeps moving
the hands back and forth, according to
the variations of the trains from the
schedule, until he. wears out the watch.
almost every commuter has certain
trains by which he regulates his watch,
regardless of their variations from the
schedule, and in consequence he never
has the time exactly right"

The Future of the War and Russian
Reforms In the Balance.
st. Petersburg, April 24.-Not only
the future of the wal in the far east,
but the fate of the whole programme
of internal reform to which Emperor
Nicholas stands committed, appears to
await the issue of the approaching sea
battle between Rojestvensky and Togo.
The government undoubtedly would be
greatly strengthened, at least for the
moment. by a victory decisive enough
to change the war situation. The lib
erals are impatient at the delay, and
suspicious of every move of the gov
eminent. They are convinced that if
victory m the bureaucracy, to
which the institution Of reforms have
been %intrusted by the emperor, will be
able, despite the clamor throughout the
country, to keep the execution of these
reforms in their W hands, which, of
course, in their own opinion, will
mean their eventual dissipation in a
labyrinth of endless commissions.
Moreover they believe that the emper-
or might again be persuaded to listen
to the necessity of the old style of re-
preston of the present agitation.
Practically the entire interior ad-
ministration has been conducted
through a police regime. Already there
are everywhere evidences of a return
to Won Plehve's measures.

For Growing Girls.

West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs.
A. L. Smith, Of this place, says that
Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith empha-
sizes her recommendation by the follow
ing experience:
my daughter was thirteen years old
last November, and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In a month she would
have the spells again. At these times
she would eat very little, and was very
yellow, even the whites of her eyes would
be yellow.
THE doctors gave us no encourage
ment, they all said they could not help
her. After taking one box of Dodd's
Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad
spell. Of course, we continued the treat
ment until she had used in all about a
dozen boxes, and we still give them to
her occasionally, when she is not feeling
we'll. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly
the best medicine for growing girls"
Mothers should heed the advice of
Mrs. Smith, for by so doing they may
save their daughters much pain and sick
ness and ensure q healthy, happy future
for them.

SOME FACTS ABOUT BEES
Things Which Every Keeper Of Bees
Should Keep in Mind If He
Would Succeed,

Blame yourself If you are not making
a success with bees.
The orchard is the best place for the
apiary.
1t is estimated that it costs the bees
ten pounds of honey for every pound Of
comb.
From the time it is Matched, until it
becomes matured, the bee is q days ola.
We doubt if there is a better honey
plant than Alsike clover.
Even at the tender age OF three DAYS,
bees help to perform the labors neces.
sary in the hive, like building the comb
and feeding the larvae.
The drone is an ideal loafer. He does
nothing but eat. I~trequires several days
more to hatch a drone than a queen or
worker, showing they are even too tired
to come into this world.

TRIBULATIONS OF FAIRBANKS
The Vice President Sees His Chances
for Advancement Growing
Very Slim.

Hon. Charles Warren Fairbanks, of In
diana, vice president of the United
States, is a much-abused man. He was
Tor thought he was) the heir apparent
and logical successor of President Nc
Kinley; fate stepped in, and the oppor
tunity went to Mr.. Roosevelt, says the
Albany Argus.
Mr.. Fairbanks bided his time, and
choked down his disappointment. He
took the vice presidential nomination,
after full consideration, and in the belief
and persuasion that there was no better
way to advance his chances for 1908, He
would be in the lime light. He would
be more prominent as vice president
han as senator. He would be the natural
heir of the Roosevelt administration,
and hence put to the front on seasonable
occasions. So Mr.. Fairbanks reasoned.
1t is hardly to be wondered that las
the correspondents tell us) he hears with
profound disgust and i~ll-concealed wrath
all this talk about Taft and 1.-THE lid"
which makes the war secretary a sort
of temporary president in Mr.. Roose-
velt's absence, gives him any amount of
free advertising and advances material
ly thequiet talk of Taft as the real Roose-
welt choice for 1908.
Aside from all that. Mr.. Fairbanks is
harassed by enemies in his own state of
Indiana. He and Senator Beveridge
never did get on well together. now Bey-
eridge is openly taking the state machine
from him, and, worse yet, the vice pres
ident finds himself practically without
a newspaper supporter in indianapolis.
1t is announced that his friends, to rem
edy this, are about to start an out-and-
out Fairbanks organ at the capital Of the
Hoosier state.
There is a world of truth and COM
mon sense, however, in what Senator
Scott is reported to have told the vice
president, the other day, in c~autioning
him against the premature boom" dan
ger: Have you noticed, Fairbanks, that

FERTILITY OF TIE SOIL.
Valuable Facts Boiled Down for the
Farmer During the Busy
Season,

The following brief facts are boiled
down from an article by Prof. G. G. Hop
kins of the Illinois College of Agricul-
ture on Fertility of the Soil"
Different types of soil produce differ
ent crop yields under the same condi-
tons.
Soils side by side, but cultivated diff
ferently for a term of years, produce
very different yields.
The same soil differs at different
times, according to it's cultivation and
other treatment and lack of treatment.
One soil will produce 20 bushels of
corn, another 40 bushels, another 80
bushels.
One soil is worth 500 an acre, another
500 per acre, another 5000 per acre
largely because of their difference in fer.
tillty or productive capacity.
Soil can be run down"
Soil can be improved.
The fertility of soil can be maintained.
1t is worth money to know soils and
be able to improve them.
The study of soils is vitality connected
with profit and propriety in farming, the
greatest industry in Illinois.
Neither live stock nor clover, nor both
together, will maintain the fertility of
the soil.
The only way: Preserve good physi-
cal conditions and then put back upon
the land all of the fertility which is
taken Off"
While there are ten essentials of plant
food, seven of them are usually supplied
In abundance, but nitrogen, phosphorus
and potassium are rather limited in
most soils. So the study Of fertility is
practically reduced to the study of these
three.
