Don't this sound good to you?
Would you not like to locate on 480
acres of government land in Wyo-
ming where you could keep that
much stock and poultry the year
around?
l can tell you how and where you
can file on a 800 acre homestead for
only the filing fee, $1,000, and then,
if you have the money, you can buy
an additional 100 acres of pasture
land from the Government at SIPS
per acre.
This new homestead law gives you
title in 3 years, allowing 5 months
absence each year; thus, an actual
residence of'21 months is sufficient
NOW to make proof, instead of 60
months as heretofore.
If you prefer, | can locate you on
a Government irrigated homestead
in the BIG HORN BASIN where
you have II years to pay for the
water right.

Tna1rue Shamrock.

Ina/1rue Shamrock.
AS ST. Patrick's Day is near, tho
question is asked, What is the realI
shamrock? No one Knows surelyi
what plant is meant when the
shamrock is mentioned. In one
part Of Ireland, one plant is known
by the name, and in other parts,
other plants are called shamrock.
The plant most generally credit
ed is the Trifolium minus, asthis is
the one most largely exported from
Ireland for ST. Patricks Day. The
common white clov or (Trifolium
repens) is widely known by the
name and is plucked and worn as
shamrock in Ireland and elsewhere
The wood sorrel, beautifully trifoli-
ate has much in its favor. The
oxalis is locally so called in Eng
land. There are many other plants
given the name, and the botanist
has trouble in identifying the real,
sure-enough plant dear to every
Irish heart Commoner.

THE BAROMETER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
Items of news such as the following,
speaking Of the Christmas work in
the postotfice:
Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty Of OPP
p~ortunity OF learning what it was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed Gin
Winnipeg, and mail trains have been
run special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx of people into Western
Canada during the season., and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number Of par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from a
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postoffces have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds Of new p%ostofices were
established, many of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. 1t is said or
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether it be in the new town along
a new line of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
fee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is it any wonder that
with the splendid land, the high
yielding land, the land that is free to
the h~omesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1872
will show arrivals Of upwards OF
400, 900. one-half of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and it's agencies
throughout the United States deals
with many of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work OF
that branch for the year 1913.-Ad'
vertisement.
