$4,000 AMERICAN
| SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada. our
next door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line.
are that upwards Of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant lands. 160 acres Of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid. the price would be
low. as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there Is a
large interest ON the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must besa reason for it. 1t may be
found in the single phrase, they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana. of Nebraska, Kansas.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it Is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain.
there comes the ever increasing de,
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels
of wheat to the acre. or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50 per
acre. leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer. and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this. covering the entire area Of
about 100000 square miles, it is read
lily understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand Of
the previous year. Canadian Govern.
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands. ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.

You can have gas and hot and cold
water and furnace in your house. 1t
Is source of great pride to ride over
the state and see the magnificent
homes. but you can make them better.
And If you make them better you are
going to keep the children at home.
Il don't know of any one industry
In the state that is more important or
more profitable than the dairy inter
ests of the state. You can just as we'll
double the production of butter in this
state as not. and you ought to do it.
In order to do that we must do one of
two things: We must vastly increase
the number of cows or increase the
quality of the animal. Which would
be the easier and most profitable? We
have been talking of making two ears
OF corn grow where only one grew be-
lore and two blades of grass grow
where one used to grow. but it is not
always profitable to pasture two cows
where one COW should be pastured. It
is profitable to get a COW to give two
pounds of butter rather than one. You
ought to teach the farmers that if a
cow is not profitable to send her to
the slaughter house and put in her
place a COW that will produce enough
butter fat to be profitable.
The reason that our cattle are not
producing more butter is because one
half of them are poor cattle. It will
not take any more grain or more care
to feed a good COW than a poor one I
want to say to you that I am going
to watch with more interest next year
than / have in the past the progress
that is being made along the lines
that you are working for. for two rea-
sons-because l want to know about
it and because l live here and am in
terested in it. And then I want to
know whether you were correct when
you said If you will give us an appro-
priation we will produce more butter.
l want to see if that is So have no
doubt but what you folks get great
good out of getting together. I am in
terested in it because l believe that
the time is coming when we must re-
sort TO something more profitable
than Simplifying blowing corn.
Il think l am correct in saying that
every country as it grows older has
the same experience-that the lands
of the country grow more valuable.
There has been 4 great tide of emf
grafton from Iowa, SO that our farm
population is actually decreasing. The
time is coming when that tide of.
shall l call it migration. is going to
stop. When these lands become more
valuable the thing is going to work
back on us and we have got to resort
to something more profitable than
simply tilling the soil. don't know
of anything better than dairying"

CHANCE FOR BARGAIN.
Fiqht Against Plaque Goes On


Although the survey of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done. the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tons have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work. aggregating 1896
500 In addition to these apprOpria-
tons over 100000 has been set
aside by the different state legisla-
lures for the campaign against tuber-
culOsis this year Besides these sums.

ing institutions and associations are

WHEN DINNER COMES
One Ought to Have a Good Appetite.

A good appetite is the best sauce.
1t goes a long way toward helping in
the digestive process. and that is absO-
lutely essential to health and strength.
Many persons have found that Grape
Nuts food is not only nOurishing but
is a great appetizer. Even Children
like the taste of it and grow sire ng
and rosy from it's use.
1t is especially the food to make a
weak stomach strong and create an
appetite for dinner.

Breakfast Dishes.

Breakfast seems to be a meal that
troubles many cooks. There are SO
many hot breads. griddle cakes and
fritters to choose from that there
need be no monotony In the menu.
See that the day is started right with
a we'll prepared meal. presided over
by a cheerful. happy house mother.
A whole day may be spoiled by a
gloomy breakfast table, and SO 1t is
essential for all good work at school
or office that the day be begun with
cheerfulness. Get up a few minutes
earlier to avoid hurry. If husband
reads his paper at the table, do as one
wife did. Deprive him of her pres
ence until he noticed and complained
of the wiieless breakfast. She ex-
planned that she wanted a newspaper

a voluntary offer by the legislative
candidate to let the people choose
United States senator 1t is a pub
lie declaration before election by
the candidate that if the people so
desire they may name the senator

it. 1t is a public pledge in which
the candidate agrees that if elected
he will in the legislature vote for
that man for United States senator
who shall, in an election before the
people, have received the highest
number of votes. This public
pledge, to let the people instead of
the legislature choose the senator,
is Statement One, and all there is

vehicle by which the people are
given a perfect system of direct
selection of senator. In denounc-

own choosing OF senator, and that
the people will not be allowed a
