New DISTRICTS and
NEW RAILWAYS
WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET.
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor - Sir:-DoubtleSA
many OF your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such
a large number OF Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. 1t Is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; It will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
35 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice OF a farmer I'm the Pincher
Creek (Southcrn Alberta) district
where winter wheat Is grOwn-who
made n net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 30, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain.raising.
while the luXuriant grasses that grow
everywhere In abundance make the
best possible feed for ~fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands Of new settlers. It
Is now possible TO secur 100 acres In
addition to the 100 acres as q FREQ
grant, by paying $500 an acre for 1t.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be Sc
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.

ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed hat OF any other
country in the worlds history" Is not

plant largely of the Hybrid Tea class,
and also those known as ever-bloom-
ing roses. Of the Hybrid Teas the
following are all fine: Killarney,
Captain Christy, Caroline Tesrout,
Grus and Teplitz, Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria, La France and Souvenir du
President Carnot. The everblooming
roses include large number of vari-
eties, from which it is difficult to Sc
lect brief list, but the following are
good: Etoile de Lyon, Marie Van
Houtte, Maman Cochet, Franz Deegen,
Papa Gontier, Hermosa Clothilde
Soupert and Souvenir de la Malmai-
son. At the back of the long bed,
suggests the Rural New Yorker at the
rear of the garden, a. wire trellis
could be placed, and on this some
roses of the Rambler type could be
trained, some of the best of this
type being Philadelphia Rambler,
Ruby Queen, Dorothy Perkins and
Lady Gay. In front of the Ramblers
the Hybrid China rose, Madame Plan
tier, and also some of the lovely Moss
roses could find place. This list
could be extended almost Indefinitely,
but all varieties do not grow with the
same freedom, and the few mentioned
may be considered among the stand
ard sorts The number Of plants to
be used in such a garden would be
from 600 to $50, according to the di-
mensions of the beds and the close
ness with which they were planted. If
the surroundings permit it, the fences
or boundaries of the rose garden could
be covered with the various Rambler
roses, and the long bed used for
other varieties.

Gentleman: :
My reception yesterday afternoon
at 2 O'Clock in Meade for the Meade
Dry Goods Co. was very successful
considering the weather and the size
of the town. Meade is a town of
not over I8 or Io hundred inhabi-
tadts. There was light snow on
the ground In the forenoon which
melted by IL O'Clock and by p. m.
the time advertised for the reception,
the weather was quite pleasant We
did not have many country children
at our reception owing to the whoop-
ing cough epidemic in Meade, but
we had in spite of the drawbacks,
good crowd for so small town.
We drove over the town in the
forenoon between II and IL O'Clock
and invited everyone out to our re-
ception for 2 p. M, which we pulled
off in front of the Meade Dry Goods
Co.'S store. / had a nice orderly
crowd as well as very attentive
one. l gave them an hours talk on
Buster Brown sho-s and other Star
S Star speciality shoes, with the US
ual success. My audience appear
ed to be very much impressed with
what | told them about Star Star
shoes. more especially the children.
They all promised never to wear any
other kind of shoes but the Buster
Brown Blue Ribbon shoes. l drill
ed them thoughly in the line as l
scattered the souvenir pins among
them after which Tige amused them
with a few of his tricks, then we said
goodbye and l caught train for
Hutchinson to get to Stafford. The
Meade Dry Goods Co. had the
crowd photographed they will write
you regarding the reception and
send you one. They were we'll
pleased with my work in every way.
l found the members of the Meade

wards making my receptions bigsuc-

The ORCHARD.

Orchardists should pay more atten-
ton to their blackcap raspberry crops
This berry is growing very scarce OF
late, probably from neglect. Such a
plantation will steadily increase in
value.
Every apple grower should be pre-
pared for extensive spraying in 1909
Burn all trash around the orchard
The scab has been unusually preva
lent throughout the country and the
spores and seeds will have to be burn
ed in 1909
The apple growers of Oregon and
Washington often ship their products
several thousand miles and apparently
make good profits. In view of this fact
it is astonishing why the average west
ern farmer cannot make his orchard
pay. Perhaps it is the thought and
care put into each package of fruit
that tells the tale.
1t is generally the case where
onions have been left to go to seed the
seeds will soon sprout up freely on
that ground. Very often they come uI
in a manner and so thick that they are
a weed pest and may be killed by stir
ring the ground with cultivator, wheel
hoe or common hand hoe. When
onions thus come from seed in the
field they are generally worse directly
over the old rows and are serious
menace to the production of the best
onions especially when the Welsh
onions are the crop.
