The other day the writer was in the
Office of the Canadian Government ut
st. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows
of the building were signs to the effect
that hcraesteads of 160 acres were
given free to actual settlers, and in
the windows were displays of wheat,
oats, barley, other grains and vege-
tables, which he was told were grown
in Western Canada. This could be
readily believes for in no other coun-
try on the Cons,nent would it be pos.
sible to grow such splendid specimens.
The world is now pretty well advised
that in the growing of such cereals
as have been named and vegetables az
we'll the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta have no
competitor. For several years past
specimens have been exhibited at
State and County Fairs throughout the
State, and these exhibits are looked
upon as one Of the chief attractions.
They have demonstrated what can be
done in the climate of a country pos
sessing soil that will grow things.
But that it was possible to grow vege-
tables such as were seen there seemed
to create some doubt. But it was
the case. And apples too. Not of

countries more congenial to such cul-

Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm
ers were forced to stop and think.
When a similar exhibit was placed be-
fore them during the past few weeks,
many of them were forced to stop and
remark: "That is much ahead of any,
thing we can do. The quality of the
grain we have conceded, for has not

his own farm the like of which we had
never seen before. But to think Of
the vegetables-and such vegetables.
Why. we thought everything was
frozen up there, and these turnips,
cabbages, caulifowers, beets, man

Thousands of Western Canada home
steaders, formerly United States citi-
zens, are growing just such grain, just
such vegetables, which yield them a.
splendid profit with little outlay on the
farms that they have secured from the
Government of the Dominion of Can
ada at the nominal cost of $40 for 100
acres. If adjoining land is wanted it
can be secured from the railway CON-
panies or from private individuals at
moderate prices and reasonable terms.
