How TO Cook Pumpkin.

To cook pumpkin properly requires
a slow, steady fire and long cooking to
insure richness and flavor. It is al
most impossible to cook it slowly
over a gas stove without burning. A
better and simpler way is to bake it
as you would squash. Cut the pumpkin
in two, remove seeds and tissues, and
bake until the desired shade of color
and dryness is reached. The flavor
will be much better than by the quick
or method of boiling by gas.

Adulterated Foodstuffs.

The chemist in charge of the labora- tory of the department of agriculture at Chicago has been paying careful attention to the purity of foods. Re gently he made a statement that one great spice company annually ground up GOO tons of cocoanut shells and fla voTed the sare with essential oils and then sold the powdered stuff for pure spices. He related about another con. cern which sold $100000 worth of spices annually, only five per cent of which were pure. The common arti les used for adulteration of spices Ire saWdust, brick dust. burnt grains. 2occarut shells and other kinds of 1hells and tarks. It is the aim of the United States government to put an nd to this adulteration of foods. Since tie government has become active IL tracing down such frauds lumber ol interruptions grocery houses have been compelled to go ou. ot business

AUTOMOBILES FOR THE FARM.
Tiilers of the soii to Be on Equality
 with People of Towns.

One of the large companies en. gagged in the manufacturing of farm machinery proposes placing on the market at an early date an automobile especially designed for farm use. This machine will be sold at a reasonable price. and will be put out in various styles ranging from a runabout to a heavy farm truck, which the farmer can use in transporting his grain and other produce to the markets
 Transportation of farm produce to the railroad stations and the markets is question of economy. It is esti- mated that at the present time 1t costs the farmer about nine cents per hundred pounds to carry his grain a distance of 12 miles to the railroad station or market place It Is ex- pected that the installation of auto mobiles for hauling purposes will de. crease the expense to three or four cents per hundred pounds The com Ing or the farm automobile means fur ther improvement of roads. Already the automobile and the rural deliv- VI VI mai Has WOIheu wonders In the way of stimulating interest in road improvement. Once the farmers become automobile users they will be more energetic workers, in fact, enthusiasts for high-class highways.
 Another use of the automobile in agricultural districts is it's employ. ment by merchants for delivering goods to patrons in the country. In number of eastern states enterpris- ins merchants send out their clerks with automobiles in the morning to solicit the orders of the people resid. ing on the nearby farms. and use the automobile for delivering goods in the afternoon. Merchants who have adopted this plan have found it prof itable and their business greatly in- creased, not considering the adver. Using received by this innovation.

IMMIGRATION FROM
 SOUTH EXPECTED
U. S. FARMERS ARE RECOGNIZING SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED BY WESTERN
 CANADA

St. Paul. Minn., Feb. 9, 190s-Pres- ent indications are that the Canadian Northwest will draw an exceptionally heavy movement of new settlers from the United States this year It should surpass the banner record for 1907 This is not only based on the fact that the Americans have come to realize generally that the Canadian Northwest offers splendid opportuni- ties, but also because the railroads have awakened to the fact and are offering rates to the Canadian North west which are exceptionally favor able.
 The lines which lead to St. Paul from the east and south are offering homeseekers' rates to the Canadian Northwest this year which are on a parity with those iu existence to the southwest for couple of seasons
 These rates can be obtained from any agent of the Canadian govern ment, who will be pleased to give all information possible regarding those districts which offer the greatest in ducements to settlers. The weather throughout Western Canada has been remarkably good this year. A tele- gram from the winter wheat belt of Southern Alberta dated at Cardston, Alberta, January 29th, says:
 This winter up to January 25 was nothing short of a marvel in fact, it was the finest anyone can remember for twenty-five years though there have been others nearly as good. The days were fine. sunny and warm with light frosts at night. Overcoats and gloves, etc, were discarded by most people in the day time. There was so little frost in the ground that post holes could be dug without any trouble after the first inch was broken through. Winter wheat remained fresh and green although there has been no snow since the September storm. If there is an early spring, winter wheat should gain great start"
 Amongst the reports of the yield of last year the following extracts are taken:
 H. Howe, of Magrath, Alta. writ ing on November 1907, says: T have 70 acres in crop, 50 acres of wheat and seven acres of oats. My average yield of oats was B bushels to the acre, and of wheat 45 bushels. The value to me was s35 per acre.
 J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes in November: "I had 65 acres in win. ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to the acre; oats averaged 80 bushels. 1 also had 12 tons of hay worth $10 per ton. I got GOO bushels of pota- toes from three acres of land; I got eight tons per acre from five acres of sugar beet"
 J. F. Bradshaw, of Magrath. had 1.030 acres of winter wheat last year which averaged 39h bushels to the acre. The value of his farm products per acre was: Wheat, $3160; oats, $11.20 and barley, $25.15.

Where Some Citizen. Fail in Duty

Many who have succeeded upon the farms remove to the nearby town to enjoy life. perhaps to give to their children the advantages that the good schools of the place afford. It is too often the case that these people fail to become the model town citizens they should be While they are desir- ous of having all the advantages that the town has to offer they are adverse to doing that which means it's i'm. provement and upbuilding. These classes are the moss backs" the ones who think that they have done their duty toward themselves and their fel- low men when they manage 10 earn sufficient on the farm so that they can cease work It may be their /riy- ilege to quit labor, but they show a poor and lowly spirit when they fail to give the town which they select az 8 home place the support it should have from one of it's citizens.

euILDlNe UP THE CHARACTER.
Few Words to the Youth Who Would
 Make the Most of Life.

Ii is well that the majority of us value being we'll thought of Few young men, anxious to make the most of life care to have what is common- ly known ias a bad reputation" Do you. young man. ever stop to think that there are immutable laws that control the universe and all therein ? Do you ever consider that light is only the evidence of luminous body ? That the brilliancy of the diamond is merely the rays reflected from the perfectly crystalized carbon? Reputa. ton is only the reflection from char. aeter as it is variously projected upon the screen of public opinion, but rep utation is not character. any more than the light Is the luminous body, but is merely the effulgence. the re. suit of character.
 The imitation diamond for time may rival in splendor and brilliancy the reflections Of light Of the genuine gem, but this brilliancy is soon dulled. The same with reputation. which sometimes attaches to character NiINu VIII iIpl SAeillu lIp iPSL Ol tune, or the scrutiny of the exacting eye of justice Week after week We read in the pages of the press of the downfall and disgrace of men high in public estimation, and who. until their duplicity was exposed. were men of most excellent eputation-reputation reflected falsely from an unclean char. acter.
 Character is the mold of moral con seiousnesS. It Is the outgrowth of the heart carefully nurtured by truth and love and directed by intelligence solely influenced by that which Is moral in man. It is by reputation that we are to be judged by those With whom We are thrown in either business or social intercourse. Our own acts are the standard by which We will be either praised or con. demned. Our own acts are the indica. tions of the spirit within Though we may be most excellent in character, sometimes We may be falsely estimat. ed; may acquire through some misun. derstood circumstance a reputation un. desirable. But character ever counts. It is sure to bring to the front it's worth. The diamond may be robbed of its bFilliancy for a time by grime and dirt. but it is nevertheless dia. mond Your true worth may be ob- seured for time, but it is sure to become known.
 Character is the greatest thing the young man has to guard. IL is the only sure foundation upon which hopes can be rightly based He who is true to himself cannot be untrue to others. Would you have character and repu. tation, you must work, constantly. m ceasingly, as conscience becomes dead. ened and degenerate when not exer. cised, and conscience directs the building of character. There are qualities in man that mark his great. ness and his superiority-the moral and the mental, and it is by the exer- else of these that greatness and sue. cess are gained.
