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 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 be reason for 1t. 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 1t. 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 position
to supply 1t. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre. produces
on q reasonable calculation, rs bushels
Of wheat to the acre, or about $1,000
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $3.50. per
acre, leaving 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.

MICROBES WAR IN A BOTTLE
Multiply So Fast That the Battle Ex-
plodes the eottle-MetchInkoff'
Demonstration.

Soon after the opening Of the medi-
cal exhibition at the Horticultural
hall. Westminster. large glass bottle
which had been betraying symptoms
of uneasiness exploded and scattered
its contents, a creamy foam. over the
rest of the stall.
Originally the bottle contained milk
Just milk and few million typhoid
bacilli, which lived and grew happily
together in this culture-medlum. Then,
for demonstration purposes. a horde
of 10000. 600 hungry monsters (known
as the bacilli of MassoD were intro
duced into the cultured civilization of
the unhappy typhoid tribes. and re-
morseless war was raging in q mo-
ment.
A storm in teacup was nothing to
the battle in the bottle. The milk
grew turgid with the bodies of the
slain. and still the Massol militia muir
dered and devoured their victims
When a Massol bandit had filed himself
to bursting point-he burst. and each
of his 100000 or 100000 fragments
became hungry young Massol bacil-
lus which fought and ate in turn.
Finally the milk foamed up with the
rapidly multiplying generation of Mas
solites and the bottle exploded.
The demonstration arose out of
Prof. Metchnikoff's claim that the
bacillus of Tactic acid 1.-THE Massol
baciluus) destroys the bacilli which
cause internal putrefaction of food

binary extent. and he quotes the ex.

largely on soured milk. which con.
tains this bacillus.
