SEEDING COMMENCED IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Prospects for Large Acreage to
Be SoWn in Wheat.

St Paul, April "a, 1907.-Word has
been received at the Office or the
Canadian Government in st. Paul that
seeding has commenced at various
points throughout Manitoba, Saskatch-
evan and Alberta.
The heavy snowfall during the past
winter has left the ground in splendid
shape for successful seeding opera
tions. The fine weather of the past
few days has taken much of the frost
out of the ground and during next
week there will scarcely be a district
in which the seeder is not being oper-
ated. The most optimistic conditions
exist and in all districts the farmers
are busy getting things in shape.
There will be a very large acreage
sown in spring wheat, oats and barley.
At many points throughout the three
provinces the newcomers are busy un-
loading their stock and effects, work
ing night and day in order to get on
their farms and become active agen-
cies in the effort to make the year
1907 the banner year in grain produc-
ing in Western Canada. AS compared
with districts many hundred miles
further south than this, it will be seen
that Western Canada ranks amongst
the first in the line of seeding opera
tions for the present year. 1t is safe
to say that farmers who get in their
crop before the goth or gath of May,
will receive magnificent returns. A
number of those coming in this spring,
who had not their land prepared last
fall, will break up enough land to get
in a crop of oats and barley and prob
ably some flax. This, together with
the vegetables they will plant, will
give them ample food for themselves
and stock during the coming summer
and winter. These early seeding oper-
ations are not confined to one district,
but are spread over a country 900
miles long by 400 miles in width.
The agents of the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different points
throughout the United States, are
busy giving information regarding the
many new districts that are being
made available for settlers. Low rail-
way rates, information and literature
are given on application to the agent,
whose name appears in advertisement
elsewhere in this paper.\

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

A Fish story.

Trout protection. Nonsense!" said
a gunner of local eminence- Trout
are amply able to protect themselves
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection It's a common thing for
trout to jump from the water, seize
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air. where
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts

THE SPARK COLLINS.
What Little Polly Saw and Heard
Before the Fireplace.

1t was clear, cold winters night.
The stars were like needle-points OF
light; over the earth lay white snow
blanket to keep thousand tiny erea-
lures warm.
They were snugly curled- up in
their burrows and nests underground,
while Polly was curled up in the big
armchair, watching the blazing logs
and the sparks that jumped out with
a cracking sound and were carried
up the chimney.
The fire was burning low, and the
little girl gave the biggest log push
with her foot. How the sparks few,
All but one hurried off out OF sight;
that one alighted on the brass knob
of the right hand andiron.
STOPPING forward to brush 1t off.
Polly jerked back her hand with a
cry OF wonder The spark had legs
and arms and wings; 1t was. in fact.
