why NOT OWN LAND?
ONE or THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY is TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

deep down in the nature OF every
properly constituted man is the desire
TO own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex.
presses well.known truth. The ques-
tion is where Is the best land TO be
had at the lowest prices, and this the
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has personal interest in
the statement of his case, and there Is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined TO till the soil for
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analyzed the conclusion is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality Of
great soundness. The climatic condi-
tions OF Western Canada are fully as
good as those OF Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness OF the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as well
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
Is much less, easier to secure. So. with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States.
appear TO be-are satisfied. Once In
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand few
letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These go
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has a good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the Goth of April of this year w.
r. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
friend in Detroit. He says: "The
weather has been just fine ever since
came here in March. and / believe
one could find If he wanted to some
small lunches of snow around the
edge Of the lake. There is frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise 1t begins
to fade away, then those blue flow-
ers open and look as fresh as IL there
had been no frost for a week.
There Is no reason why this country
should not become a garden of Eden;
the wealth Is in the ground, and only
needs little encouragement from tho
government to induce capital in here
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under
meath, plenty of water in the spring
lakes, and good springs coming out oi
the banks"

The limesulphur spray is one OF our
most important insecticides, and is
destined to play prominent part in
the horticulture of the future. 1t is
eminently satisfactory for use against
the San Jose scale and some other
insects; and a number of fungous
diseases, such as peach leaf curl, and
peach blight. 1t also aids in a gen.
eral way in clearing up and improving
the condition of the trees. Its good
points are sufficient to outweigh any
objections to its use for the above
purposes, except in special cases.
Every one is familiar with the fact
that oil does not readily mix with
water. There are processes, however,
by which an emulsion may he made
with the oils, and this emulsion will
mix with water at almost any desired
strength. Some patented brands of
emulsions have been on the market
several years, and have gained wide
publicity as substitutes for lime-sul-
phur. One of the main objections to
these prepared oils is their cost. Prof.

Penny of the Delaware experiment
station, published recently a method
OF preparing the oils for spraying pur-
poses, the products of which he
termed Homemade Misclble Oils"
These preparations appeared to be so
promising that we undertook, during
the spring of 1908, to test some of his
formula. They are less trouble to
prepare than lime-sulphur, though the
method is a little more complicated
from the fact that more materials en-
ter into their preparation. By care
fully following directions, however, no
trouble should be experienced. The
cost is a little greater than that of
lime-sulphur.
There are three distinct processes
in the preparation OF the homemade
soluble oils:
1st. Making the "soap solution
I'd. Adding the required amount Of
oils and water to make the soluble
oil.
Sd. Diluting the soluble oil with
water to make the emulsion ready for
applying to the trees.

This condition can be met by tacking
dark pieces of cloth in front of nest
boxes so that they will hang like cur
tains. When nests are located and ar
ranged TO suit the hens tastes they
will not so readily seek other places
to lay and hide their nests. It is
best to have all the laying done where
the eggs can be conveniently gathered
