"Unanimity is never had in great ma
tional movement We can find illustra
tions enough Of this fact in our national
history. When it was proposed to assuma
The White Mans Burden and under
take the education Of the Philippine peopls
towards the management of their own ar
fairs. we had a well defined division of
public sentiment. Some of the most intel
ligent people Of the country were hostile
TO the movement Our whole history fur

purchase the acquisition OF Texas. Alaska

Farm Help Costs More.
The Canadian census monthly reports
wages the year round at $S5.l5 per. month
for males and 5000 for females, counting
board. Males have an average of $S47 10
counting board. This is for 1910, and is
an increase over 1909. The highest price
per month in summer are paid IL Sas-
katchewan. Alberta and British Columbia
where they are $40 per month and upward
for males and $25 per month and upward
for females. counting board. The average
rate per month for board ranges around IS
per month for males, and Sc for females.
These wages are quoted for males on the
farm and females in the house, They are
computed from a large number of returns
from farmers to the census office
" very important feature in the minds
OF people who oppose reciprocity is the
price OF land in Canada as compared with
the United States. The Canadian census
monthly gives US the average Of farm
lands in the Dominion as $751; per acre
It was highest in British Columbia, where
the cost OF clearing is heavy and the land
is largely occupied by fruit growing. the
average being $74 per aevre, 50 cents an
acre more than the previous year Ontario
comes next With $4s pnr acre in 1910. which
is S222 less than in 1909.

The latest killing frost in spring, in five

age Of five years for the last killing frost
in spring is found 10 be on June and the
average of the first killing frost N fan
is found 10 be on September ls The same
climatic conditions exist along the attitude

We find then that the range in the
i.agth OF the season between the killing
frost OF spring and the kiling frost Of fall
Is about three months north OF the line
ana nearly five months south OF the line
