The sunny South.

Now when all outdoor farm work
has ceased In the north, the term
sunny south" and all that It means
appeals with full force to the northern
farmer as he realizes that with him
1t Is case of remaining indoors for
the next several months consuming
everything that has been produced
during the growing season. In the
sunny south" something can be
raised every month In the year, and
practically every day can be spent out
doors. No billiards.. No sunstrokes.
Cattle-raising Is very profitable. Large
profits are made with little labor In
growing fruits, vegetables, ETC., for
northern markets. Strawberries and
cantaloupes are great revenue getters.
Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful.
Lands cheap and productive. For re-

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA.
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906.

The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers in recent
years has caused many OF our journals
and public men to 'sit up and take no
tice," to use q current phrase From
every European country and from al
most every State in the Union large
number of settlers have fiocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada, where
free homesteads and wide opportun.
tiles are open to all who desire to
avail themselves OF them.
The greatest factor In attracting
settlers lies In the inherent richness
OF soil and suitability OF climate for
producing what is universally consid-
cred to be the finest wheat In the
world-the mo. l Hard" of Canadian
growth--and other cereals that rank
In the very first class. This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat, 90
100000 bushels; oats, 100000 bush
els; barley, 100000 bushels; and
when 1t is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces--as
evidenced by the qulnquennial census
Just completed--is only $4,000, 1t is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana
dian West Is In its agricultural poten-
tialities.
Another feature which attracts the
settler is that railway construction is
proceeding with such rapidity that al
most every district is within easy
reach of outside markets, and that
good prices for all lines OF farm prod
ucts rule practically from the com.
mencement of agricultural operations.
This is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements in the
United States, and has given a great
impetus to Canadian Western settle
ment In recent years.
The free grant system OF home
steads which prevails In the prairie
provinces, by which every settler who
is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement Thy no
means onerous) is given 100 acres
free, except $40 for entry, is great
drawing card, and in the last fiscal
year gathered In over $4,000 addi-
tional to the western population. Of
which 57,796 were from the United
States.
The further fact, as is strongly
brought about by the agent of the
Canadian Government, whose address
appears elsewhere, that a splendid
common school system, practically
free, prevails throughout the entire
country, and Is easy Of access In even
the most remote districts, Is another
great inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
In mind, and this, coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial, completes a
circle Of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of immigration has set
In so steadily toward the country to
the north Of our boundary line.

BROKE THE WILDCATS BACK.
Philadelphia Man Victorious In Hand.
to-Hand Combat.

Uparmed and alone, Thomas Dyke
was attacked by a wildcat on Locust
mountain, south of Mount Carmel, Pa.
He had been In Ashland and started
,to drive home. His horse stepped on
"a nail and he put the animal In sta
lble.
: Then he started to walk home and
was on the mountain when the cries
of a wildcat alarmed him. A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet in front of him. The animal
finally sprang. He jumped aside and
.as the body of the cat struck the road
he leaped upon It, For several min
utes the fight between the wild ami
NAL and the man went on. At length
by a quick swing he broke the ami
mails back.
A physician dressed the several
deep scratches on his face and hands,
but otherwise he was uniniured.

CHAPTER XVIII.

SOME PHENOMENA PECULIAR TO
SPRING.
He awoke early next morning, re-
lreshed and intensely alive. With the
work done he became conscious of a
feeling of disassociation from the sur
roundings in which he had SO long
been at home, He was glad the bust
ness was off his mind. He would now
go the pleasant journey and think on
the way.
His trunks were ready for the car;
md before he went downstairs his
handbag was packed, and the prepare
tons for the start completed.
When, after his breakfast, he read
The telegram announcing that the car
had been delayed "a hours in Chicago,

must pass another day in New York.
He was eager now to be off, and the
time would hang heavily.
He tried to recall some forgotten de-
tail of the business that might serve
10 occupy him. But the finishing had
teen thorough.
He ran over In his mind the friends
with whom he could spend the time
agreeably. He could recall no one he
cared to see. He had no longer an in
terest in the town or its people.
He went aimlessly out on to Broad
way in the full flood of spring morn
Ing, breathing the fresh air hung-ily.
1t turned his thought to places cut OF
the CRIME and clamor of the city; to
woods and fields where he might rest
and feel the stimulus of his new pans,
He felt aloof and sufficient unto him
self.
He swung on to an open car bound
forth, and watched without interest
the early quick-moving workers
thronging south on the street, and
crowding the cars that passed him. AT
Forty-second street, he CT nged to a
Boulevard car that took him to the
Fort Lee ferry at One Hundred and
Twenty-ffth street.
Out on the shining blue river he ex-
pan6ed his lungs to the clean, sweet
air. Excursion boats fiutterirg gay
streamers, worked sturdily up the
stream. Little yachts, in fresi-!aun-
dered suits of canvas. darted across
their bows or slanted In their wakes,
looking like white butterflies. The
vivid blue of tie sky was fiecked with

This is true of most cathartics. which.
