FLAX is PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian PraIries.

So much is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out of the raising Of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
Of those fertile plains. that
most important product has been al
most lost sight of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise US that on one Of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Cat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241,0OO bushels OF
fax valued at $583,22O, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
28S, 900 bushels valued at $72O,O0O.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam fax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he is looking for. There is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance of the lines Of railway
that are already built or under con-
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur-
chase from railway and land com
panies at reasonable prices.
The display Of western Canada's
grains in the straw As well as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an illustration
of the resources Of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and fax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds Of cattle are
a source of large revenue. There IL
a fund of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature, copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Co;
