ADA'S IMMIGRATION.

A letter dated February 2, 1918, pub
lished in a Peoples Voice" column in
a Swedish paper, while dealing with
other conditions in Canada, such as
grain yield, social conditions, etc.,
says: I'VE have had fine weather I'M
til New Years, when some snow FED
and it was cold for few days, but
during the past few days we have
lovely weather again" The writer,
who lives near Davidson, Sask., says
they got from so to 35 bushels of wheat
per acre, so bushels of oats and about
20 bushels of flax All homesteads are
taken in the vicinity, but wild land
can be bought at reasonable figures.
Word from Alberta gives the infor-
nation that up to the 22nd of February
there were eight.rfour and quarter
hours Of bright sunshine, but that did
not come up to the corresponding
month of 1912, when the meteorolog-
ical department registered 120 hours
for the % days
February was exceptionally fine all
through, but 1912 went one better, and
was a glorious month. However, TAX
ing the weather generally throughout
the northern hemisphere, February has
been marked by serious and severe
disturbances resulting in heavy storms,
bad weather and low temperatures in
many other parts.
The coolest temperature this week
occurred on Tuesday morning, when
the thermometer registered 23.5 below,
and the coolest Wednesday was II be-
low. During the last fortnight of
February and ST hours of bright sun
shine spread its glorious rays over
Edmonton, and this out of possible
total of about ten hours is something
to talk about--Advertisem

BisulphiGe for Ants.

Where ants infest lawns or other
equally available areas, punch holes
about a foot deep with stick at three
or four points near the center of the
nest; pour into each about an ounce
of the bisulphide of carbon and close
the openings with the foot. The
vapor will get into and follow the gal
leries and kill the ants. A second
treatment will rarely be necessary.
