American Farmers in Canada.

1t is not necessary to dwell for long
upon the physical prosperity that is be-

The Spirit of Japan.

Arthur NJ. Knapp. I'm the Atlantic.
One of the most frequent charges
brought against Japan since the close of
its successful war has been that of the
''cociSiness'' impaired to its disposition
by the consciousness of its great triumph.
Aside from the fact that the reports of
suc,, a tendency have emanated main
ly from tourists. who have come into con-
tact only with the demoralized coolies of
the treaty ports, the sole habitat OF the
genus hoodlum, there exists, as is well
known to every old resident here. sa-
ient and pervading characteristic Of Jap
anese nature. the direct result of age
long influences. which negatives even the
possibility of fixing such charge upon
the nation. 1t is wholly natural for the
average westerner to indulge in the spirit
of vainglory over the successes of his
nation in the field of war, whereas the
entire training of the Japanese mind has
for centuries been in the direction of
self-depreciat on. So ingrained has that
habit become that to commend ones self
or aught which one has done Is the gross
est violation of the 50 ,ial code. The very
structure of the language itself is re-
buke to the spirit of vainslory, with the
result that in all conversation the idea
of merit being involved in ones person
ality or in ones deeds is kept completely
in the background.

The Farmers Fairy Story.
From L.eslie's.


At current prices wheat will bring to
the farmer for the year S725OOO,OD0 with
S6Gl 100000 for hay. SiOo,oGa.0O for oats.
$2lo.0n0.ED for potatoes. and 100000 600
for tobacco. These stupendous figures can
not be grasped by the ordinary intelli-
gence. While the gold production of the
year was the greatest in all the country
history. it fell few millions short of the
value of the tobacco crop, and was i'm
measurably exceeded by that of the
wheat, cotton and corn crops. The pro-
duction of all the cereals combined was
greater in quantity for 1909 than for any
preceding year except 1906 which broke
several records in the bulk of the output
The higher prices now. however. give
the farmer much more money for his
work in 1909 than he obtained in 1906 or
any other year.
The aggregate value of the country's
farm products for 1900 would go much
more than half way toward buying out
