HOMES FOR THE PEOPLE

Many thousands of good American
citizens are leaving the United States
and going to Northwest Canada. The
rigorous climate is offset by the rich
lands and the liberal terms on which
they can be purchased.
Farmers can secure homes already
prepared and ready made" on such
terms as to render renting foolish.
The farm is all prepared, stocked
and ready for use, and the buyer has
only to move in and go to work, with
20 years at six per cent interest in
which to pay for his home and stock.
Moreover, the conditions are such
that really good farmer can easily
pay for his home and need not take
all of the 20 years in which to pay
for it.
There is no good reason that the
same enterprise should not be shown
in the Southwest. Here there are
millions of acres ready for the col
Olllol, anu SilIidIC COIluICiOilS are
better than in the Northwest. The
lands are as rich, and many condi-
tons far more favorable.
In no way could capital be used to
greater advantage than in assisting
worthy men to find homes and to pay
for them. Nor need the capitalist
lose anything by his enterprise. His
security would be better than any
other he can possibly get, and with
each settlement it would grow better,
the land more valuable and condi-
tions better.
OF course there would need to be
care in selecting the persons to whom
such advantages should be offered.
But there are many people who need
homes and Whose characters justify
the trust.
We know one man who has sold
much land, assisting many with the
money with which to improve, and
selling unimproved land altogether on
time, and he says that his enterprise
has brought good profits, and his in
vestments were always secure. The
danger of loss was always offset by
rapid increase in values.
To use good lands as pasture when
there is a demand for it is not profit
able, and by cutting into small bodies
and assisting good men to improve
homes the settlement will always so
add to the value of the lands as to
justify any risk taken.
When land goes above $40 per acre
it is seldom profitable to use it as
pasture only. OF ordinary land it
will require several acres to Craze one
cow, and this means an interest
charge which will make farming more
profitable. Many lagre pastures are
being subdivided and sold and the
only change in the plan would be to
assist the farmer with such means as
to enable him to have a home, and to
make the time long enough to en-
able him to meet the payments

EfFlENcY OF A FREELY
Artificial IlIuminant Very Poor Second
to That of the Natural
Organisms.

1t is sometimes said that If we could
arrive at the secret Of the fireiiy-or
of the other organisms which produce
Q lysiologic light-we should have
reached a great economic discovery,
because the light has such an extror-
binary high efficiency In other words,
all the energy expended in producing
it goes to make light and not heat.
The efficiency has been estimated at
SO per cent by Ives and Coblent and
even higher by Langley and Very.
This is the more remarkable when it
is considered that the best artificial
illuminant has a luminous efficiency of
only 4 per cent, and most of them
reach only about ] per cent, the re-
naming 80 per cent of the energy go
ing to produce heat or other subordi-
nate effects. But even if we should
discover the means by which the fire.
fly produces its lights we should
scarcely care to use it in our homes.
Professor McDermott in a recent study
Of the subject observes that while the
inE egt has indeed reached the highest
poss ible radiant efficiency ii has only
accomplished at at sacrifice of color
that makes the light much worse than
the mercury vapor arc Anything not
within a very limited range of yellow

PREFER THE YELLOW PEARL

This pear is said to owe its yellow
tint TO the fact that the oysters have
been allowed to die and putrefy in
their shells. the shells opening OF
themselves on the death of the oyster.
This custom has been ascribed to
the fact that the pearl generally lies
close to the edge of the shell, and it
is feared that many fine pearls would
be spoiled If the process Of opening
the shell with knife were practised.
Black pearls are very much valued.
The famous necklace Of black pearls
belonging to the Empress Eugene was
sold for $4,000.
Pink pearls are much desired among
the Buddhists, who use them profuse-
ly in the adjoining of their temples.
The inhabitants of Chipanga are wont
10 place pink pearl in the mouth OF
a 5ead relative or friend before Gre

The story of Cleopatra's pearl is
well known. To match this there may
be cited the tale told of Sir Thomas
Gresham. the millionaire merchant of
Queen Elizabeth's time. 1t appears
that the Spanish ambassador had the
bad taste. in the presence of Elizabeth,
to extol the riches of his sovereign.
To shame the foreigner the mer.

pocket pearl for which he had pre-
viously refused $4,000. He ground II

wine to the health OF the queen, thus
rebuking the Spanish boaster.

Tough on the Bears.

Some time ago Walter Shaw, known
as one of Gardeners most persistent
wags, wrote letter to the New York
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Animals. 1t was deplorable. he said,
the way the government men in charge
of the Yellowstone park treated the
wild animals. Just to cite one in
stance, he said. these scoundrels did
not give the poor bears anything to
eat during the entire winter. when the
whole park is blanketed with snow.
The society Immediately started an
investigation, beginning at the Office
Of the secretary of the interior. Such
cruelty must be stopped. 1t pressed its
investigation until some friendly nat
uralist told them that bears hibernate
all winter.

smooth-Faced Wisdom.

President Wilson is the first bare
faced" occupant OF the White House
since President Mckinley. Indeed,
these have been the only smooth
faced presidents since the Civil war.
The faces OF the most conspicuous
members Of the cabinet are whisker-
less. as is the mobile countenance of
the speaker of the house. The SEN
sible fashion is especially noticeable
in the medical profession, owing to
the fact that formerly its members re
garded whiskers as an indispensable
part Of their equipment. ON par with
the stethoscope and clinical thermom-
eter aud odor of carbolic acid. The
idea then was, OF course, TO look old.
Now they try to appear young. Other
business and professional men are fol
lowing the example OF the doctors,
much to the qualification of the bar
bers and razor manufacturers. IL is
not likely that we shall soon again see
the day when whiskers cover multi
tude OF chins.

PERPETUAL MOTION SCHEMES
. AND DUAL-PURPOSE BREEDS

Under the head of the "White
taWhirl-pool," Mr.. D. S. Burch, assoc.
late editor of the Farm and Fireside
Els writing some searching articles or
'the.dairy industry? The following ex.
tract on the dual-purppose question
is an excellent piece of thinking and
goes to the root Of the matter:
+ "A professor, in the Iowa State Agri-
cultural college some years ago advo-
Gated the Red Poll as dual-purpose
breed. Influenced by his advice, a
large number of Red Polls were intro
duced into the state. Some of them,
and a good many more of their off
spring turned out to be beef animals,
and after wasting time and money the
owners gave up the dual-purpose idea.
Minnesota suffered a similar exper-
fence with grade Shorthorns.
Some well-managed individual ef-
forts have also been fruitless. An ex-
perienced breeder in Southern Mime
sofa who had ample capital, purchased
a number of "dual-purpose" breeding
animals which answered his every re-
quirement as foundation stock, and
bred them toward the generally ac-
cepted dual-purpose type. The work
was done with care and skill. No ex-
pense was spared to get the best bulls
and to control all conditions. At the
end of eight years the herd gave less
milk than an equal number of his
neighbours scrub cows, and was just
average for beef.
]. j. Hill is now spending small
fortune to develop dual-purpose
breed. We hope that he will succeed
but are nevertheless glad that the
experiment is in wealthy hands,, for
it is too precarious a risk for man
who is dairying for a living. The
proposition sounds good,-so do some
perpetual motion schemes, but they
do not seem to work out successfully.
The name "daal-purpose" applied to

COW valuable for both beef and milk
is justifiable. The false step is taken
when the same name Is applied to a
breed, for it is in the breeding that
the dual-purpose enthusiasts have
had their chief trouble. In heredity

halfway course, and it is hard to con-
