PROTECT TREES
FROM RABBITS
Many Fruit and Shade Orna-

Being Girdied by Little
Animals.
CBY J. f. MUNDELL)

Many fruit and shade trees are lost
annually by being girded by rabbits.
The season in which most Of the dam
age is done is during the winter
months.
With regard TO remedies, there are
several advocated and these are usual
ly of two forms. The trunk of the tree
is either painted with some solution
or wrapped with some material. Many
patent protectors are on the market.
such as wire coils and thin sheets OF
wood. The wire coil protector slips
over the tree and can be left on the
year around and until the tree gets
too large for the coil. Then ii must
be removed When the sheets of
wood are used they are put on the
tree in the fall and are removed in
the spring A strip of the wood suf-

10000 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 AMI settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres OF which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine 10 fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even IL 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 be a reason for 1t. II 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 1t is worth every dollar
asked for II. 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 1t. Land there that costs.
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, 20 bushels
OF wheat TO the acre, or about 5000.
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, IL 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.

UNSEEN World IS THE REAL.
Or. William Hanna Thomson Consider.
Man as a Creator and the Invisible
Man the Master.

Man can and does create. Every
great invention existed first in the mind
Of the inventor. So the great engineer
who made the Brooklyn bridge never
had to handle one Of the materials used
in its construction, for every stone, wire
and bolt was provided for in that engi-
neer's mind before any part Of that
tremendous mass Of matter could be
seen on the earth.
Moreover, this great human creator is
as invisible as the divine Creator him
self. People are continually saying that
Trey viii not believe in thing till
they can see il, thus pinning their faith
to the testimony Of that one Of our
senses which makes more mistakes than
do all Of our other senses put together.
When man six feet high is mile
of, it says that he Is only six inches
high. The eve can see nothing Of the
vast microscopic living world which
lies within six inches of the eyeball, and
50 we have to invent microscope to
make up for this serious deiniency
But what would the Russian Witte not
have given if he could have telegraphed
TO St. Petersburg that he had actually
seen the japanese Komura while they
were talking about making peace at
Prtsmouth, New Hampshire, ana that he
knew Just what the courteous Jap
thought and proposedl All that he saw
was the Asiatie's smiling face and other
things Of mis- outside Every human
personality belongs to the real world,
the world Of the unseen, and cannot
he known except as he chooses to reveal
himself.
Some persons might object here that
the brain i both visible and tangible
in man, and that man IS III his brain,
and therefore, the brain Is man. Med
ical science, however, shows that the
brain no more thinks than the hand and
foot do, but IS simply the instrument Of
the invisible thinker The proof Of this
is that we have two brains, Just as we
nave two eyes and two ears. but that
only one Of our two brain hemispheres IS
the instrument Tor talking. thinking OF

Knowing Which one Of the two hem
spheres win be the mental one will de-
pend altogether on how it has been
taught BY the invisible thinker, who will
begin to teach the left hemisphere if
he is right-handed, or the right hemis-
pierre if he is left-handed. He win leave
the other hemisphere in each case whol-
~ speechless or thoughtless, and con-
cerned only with the business of govern

should have two thinking and two
speaking hemispheres- and this the first
