1875, 900 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.

In q report Of the House Committee
Washington appears the following:
Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land, easily reclaimed
and cultivated, with six months leave
Of absence each year and most lenient
regulations"
ALI of which is true and 1t is now
the part Of the careful reader to con-
slider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which, in addition to
the above, are attractive features.
The evidence Of these is found in the
letters contributed by some Of the
settlers. For instance: A former Min
nesotan, writing from Warner, South
ern Alberta, speaks Of that district,
but what he says, applies generally to
all of Southern Alberta. He says:
Il have seen six crops, four Of them
were first class, one of them a very
good crop, and the other poor crop.
Government statistics for the last fif-
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches, and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as I have seen in this coun-
try and we had about twelve inches Of
moisture, so that am thoroughly con-
vinced that with normal conditions,
that Is, from twelve to fifteen inches
Of moisture, and with the natural in
crease Of population and immigration,
that Southern Alberta will be one Of
the very best mixed farming districts
in the world. We have good soil, good
water, and good climate, and alto
gether Just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or
Wisconsin"
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers, which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled SO rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
madam Government Agent, who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.

the horses of private citizens get no
cured hay, but they get the grass cut
from day to day in this manner and
the rule is, in India, that there is one
grass cutter to each horse. His wages
vary from $1.39 to $500 per month.
The Sickle.
No reaping machinery is yet COM
mon in India. The sickle made out
of a common file is used in the cut
ting the grains, which are wheat,
barley, rice, oats, sugar cane, corn,
millet and sorghum. Harvest wages
vary from Is cents for a big, strong
man to 8 cents for women.
The PIow and the OK Yoke.
In the plow and the yoke the only
iron is that in the plow share. This
plow does not turn the soil, but stirs
it from two to four inches, and to do
this the soil must be caught just at
the right condition of friability. With
the uncertainty of the rains this is
often difficult and so the ground
comes up in clods which are broken
most commonly with the wooden
mallet. The sun bakes the clods so
hard that the ordinary single plank
clod crusher will not break them.

SOME GOOD SUBSTANTIAL DISHES
FOR THE FARM HOME,

For the busy farmers wife who has
much work and many mouths to feed
dishes which may be prepared with the
least outlay Of time and money are well
coined by her. When a large family
of hungry men and boys are to be fed
there is no dish more filling ard
wholesome than:
Potato Pot.-This is an English dish
and great favorite across the water
Put equal parts of round steak and
fresh lean pork, cut in serving pieces,
into frying pan and brown; dredge
with -four and cover with boiling
water and simmer for an hour; add
an onion, carrot, and turn all into
baking dish, cover with quartered
potatoes, add water and bake until
the potatoes are brown. The amount
of meat and vegetables used depends
on the size of the family.
Another dish which is new to Amer.
.ca is:
Sausage With Pudding.-Take suf1-
cient pork sausage for the family to
be served, place in baking pan and
cook in the oven until the fat has been
we'll tried out; drain off all but two or
three tablespoonfuls of the fat and
pour over the sausage
Yorkshire Pudding.-Take two cup
fuls of milk and add gradually to two
we'll beaten eggs. Mix with a cup of
-four and a teaspoonful of salt. Pour
over the sausages and bake. If the
sausages are cooked in a serving dish
1t may be carried to the table and
served from IL. This is a good dish
to piece out with, when unexpected
company arrives.
Potato Doughnuts.-Cream three ia
blespoonfuls of butter. add three
,fourths of a cup Of sugar and the
yolRs of three eggs beaten, then stir
in II cup Of freshly mashed potato and
q fourth of cup of milk. Add two
and a half cups of flour, three tea

mixture poured in and the bag laid on

Any variation may be made, adding

fruits. as desired. When the omelet
is cooked in a paper bag It is well to
carry 1t, bag and all, on a platter to
the table, and serve from the bag.
A Plain omeIet.-Beat very light
three eggs, separating the yolks from
the whites. Add to the yolks a ta-
blespoon Of flour. Melt teaspoonful
Of baking powder and quarter Of a
teaspoon Of salt. Melt tablespoonful
of butter in a pint of milk; beat 1t
gradually into the yolks. The milk
must be hot; then fold in the stiffy-
beaten whites of the eggs. Pour into
a buttered bag and bake fifteen min
utes.
Chicken omelet.-When preparing
the omelet and using chicken, add a
little more flour to the eggs, then just
before putting into the bag fold in a
cupful of minced chicken, seasoned
with onion juice or celery. For ham
onelet leave out half the amount of

Of milk, adding more butter. Grind,
the ham and season to taste with a
pinch Of sugar. Put the ham in be-
fore folding in the whites. Mix and
cook fifteen minutes in a well-buttered
bag in hot oven at first.
Spanish omelet-Chop very fine
one stalk of celery, a green pepper
scalded in boiling water, one small
onion, one large tomato, salt, pepper
and dash of Worcestershire sauce.
Mix we'll and cook until tender in
little butter. Make a six-egg omelet
for this amount of seasoning, and cook
as above.
An omelet is a dish that may be
served at any meal, and is especially
good for breakfast and luncheon dish.

OTHER TYPES OF DESSERTS.

The baked fruit pudding is another
sort of dessert which, when warm,
may be served with whipped cream.
Date Pudding.-Take cup OF dates
cut in small pieces, a cup of nut
meats (hickory or walnuts), two eggs
beaten, a half cup Of sugar we'll mixed
with a quarter of a cup of -four. Bake
in a sheet twenty to- thirty minutes.
Cut in small squares and serve with
whipped cream. This pudding may be
kept for some time If carefully COW
cred to keep moist, warmed before
serving. 1t is too good to last for
more than two meals.
The souffle Is another type of des'
sert which may be varied in many
ways. Chocolate and fruit. juices may
be used for fiavoring. When choco-
late is used in souffie the sauce to
serve is cream, but hard sauce Of
half cup of softened butter, a tea
spoon of vanilla and cup Of pow
dered sugar makes satisfactory
sauce.
For a plain souffle the proportions
are cup of milk, fruit juice could be
used, quarter Of cup of sugar, two
eggs and third Of a cup of -four.
Cook the -four and milk until thick,
cool and add the beaten yolks and the
sugar; then fold in the beaten whites
and bake in a buttered pan set into
hot water. If chocolate is used. less
of -four is needed for the thickening,

legion and may be nodded, garnished
and served in numberless ways.
Frozen dishes is another type which
never lose their charm, as there are
none that take the place of the cool
frozen desserts, especially in warm
weather. Custards are another kind
that is universally liked. and they may
be varied by different seasonings and
flavors. The caramel Is perhaps the
greatest favorite. The foundation for
all custards is quart of milk, four
eggs, a cup of sugar and fiavoring.
When half of the sugar is caramelized
for flavor add little more than half
a cup for sweetening.

young the insects are yellowish in

which to insert their mouth parts
into the bark. Once located, each
insect secretes its scale and remains
in one position throughout its life

in the adult form and is usually

but give birth to living young, often
as many as 300 at time. It's very
