CANADA is NOT THE LAND OF
PROMISE GENERALLY SUPPOSED
Many Are Returning to the United States After
Losing Money There

alton in western Canada growing
out of land speculation, says:
"In the midst of abundant op-
portunity, the average man is be-
ginning to say, sternly, sometimes
almost defantly, that for him op-
portunity is unequal and condi-
tions are unjust. The average man
in the west declares that as against
the transportation corporations,
with their powerful allies in Par
Lament, and against the gambling
land syndioates, with their get
rich-quick and cut throat methods,
and also against the protected mo-
nopolies and plutocracies fostered
in the east and entrenching them.
selves in the west, the average man
has not one chance in million"
Mr.. Walter j.. Smith, formerly
an Ontario newspaper man, writes
from Saskatchewan to Canadian
newspaper the following answer to
the question, Where is the west
at?" as follows:
I'VE know that even now mo.
nopolies are fattening on the ne
cessities of the people; that we are
paying tribute to all the organized
and protected interests. With coal
at $3.50 ton ($14 in half-ton
lots) and a hard winter approach

the prices of lumber necessary to
house live stock, accompanied by
the advice to farmers to 90 into
m xed farming, Canadian-made
farm implements selling at less
money in Europe and Australia
than to our own people, flour made
from Canadian wheat in England
selling for less money there than
flour can be procured for here, and
all the varied incongruities and in.
Justices which the devices of men
have brought about in their efforts
to monopolize trade and wiring ex-
orbitant profits from the people so
apparent, it is quite an easy mat
ter to say where the west is really
at"
Evidently our Canadian friends
are having their own troubles and
are passing through the same ex-
periences that the farmers in the
western states did in grange days.
Fortunately for the Canadians, the
government has not played into
the hands of monopolists nearly as
much as the United States did in
the past.

Wallace Farmer, which is gener-
ally regarded as exceptionally good
authority, in recent issue con-
tains considerable information on
the immigrating to and from Can
ada, together with other matter
that should be read with the ut
most care by those in this section
of Colorado who have ever for a
moment considered the question of
going to that country to make
their homes There is always some
thing alluring just lover the hill"
However, the cold facts and figures
found in the following from Wal
lace Farmer ought to make every
man stop and consider the ques-
ton whether he wants to go "over
the hill" or not:
The general impression is that
Canada is rapidly filing up with
people from the United States,
Great Britain and southern Eu-
rope, at the rate of about 100000
a year, and that about one-third of
this number come from the United
States. This is practically correct.
At the same time there is an out
flow from Canada to the United
States with which the public in
general is not quite 80 familiar.
The United States immigration
commissioner in Montreal fur
nishes us with some interesting
facts along this line.
In the past three years the num-
Der Of residents going from this
country to Canada has been 49,

thority, there has been an emigra-

States for the same years at the
following rate: 9i,496, los ,5l2 and
ll3,57S. This includes, of course,
the ''habitamts," or the people of
Quebec, who move to New Eng
land, the business ard professional
men who move into our great cities
and the farmers who have gone to
Canada and come back. The same
authority furnishes US with a rec
ord OF the Americans who have
gone to Canada, lived there and
come back to the United States, as
follows: 22,s32 in 1910, 81 ,432 in
1911, 3S,3l7 in 1912 and 54,597 in
1913.
One wonders why there should
be this decrease in emigration to
Canada and increased immigration
from Canada. On this last point
we get some interesting light from
Canadian sources. The Toronto

Plenty of grit and plenty of pure
water are just as essential to egg
production as good houses, and the

The poultry raiser should have a
bone cutter. The cost price is reason

itself the first year.
Both sexes in geese are feathered
exactly alike, which makes it difficult
to distinguish ganders from geese,
especially when young.
The seed corn should be stored
where there will be little danger Of

The rich butter fat cows can be
made more numerous only by careful
breeding. If you mate ruch butter fat
stock only, the improvement will be
rapid.
Eggs at 90 to 80 cents a dozen make
an expensive cure for scours in calves.
The better plan is to keep a quantity
OF dried blood meal on hand for this
purpose.
Next to alfalfa there is roughage
grown on the farm that will compare
with clover hay. OF course, the
brighter and cleaner it is the better
for the stock.
Milk is a food, not a beverage. 1t Is
usually looked upon as drink only,
but the truth is it is a food supplying
the need of practically every form OF
human necessity.
If any new males are to be bought
this season it is q good plan to get
them now while those who are selling
have more to select from. AS a rule,
too, prices are low.

AMERICAN ROAD CONGRESS.

Regarding the public roads as an
indispensable part OF the transporta-
ton system of the country, supple
menting its railroads and waterways,
President Harrison, of the Southern
Railway Company, takes an active
interest in the good roads movement.
He is vice president Of the American
Highway Association and will be one
of the speakers at the Fourth Ameri-
can Road Congress In Atlanta, the
week of November 3.
Speaking Of the relation of the
country highway to the railroad, Mr..
Harrison said: Whatever may be
the final destination of the farm pro-
ducts, their first movement must be
over the country road and il the farm
er is to receive the largest measure
of benefit from good roads the policy
should be adopted of improving those
highways which radiate from market
towns and shipping stations and over
which the farmers must haul their
products. The profit which will be
earned by the farmer may depend
largely upon the condition OF the
road from his farm to shipping
station. Statistics compiled by the
U. 8. Department Of Agriculture show
that the cost Of hauling farm pro-
ducts to shipping points over bad
roads il q disproportionately large
part Of the total expense OF their
TRANSPORTATION to market. This Is
not always fully realized by the farm
er. but IL he will take into account

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
Covingtbn has a pretty park. The
rolling land, the shaded hills, the
winding river with its snow-bordered
sand banks, the rustic spring. and
the picturesque, homes overlooking
this garden spot makes 1t an all-year-
round recreation resort. Yet to only
a few is the full beauty Of the park
apparent; not one in thousand
visitors knows the exteLt. of the
grounds. The pavilion is the goal
of every visitor, the end of every walk
or drive, for there the roadway ends
abruptly.
Presumably it is the intention of
the park commission to open walks
and driveways beyond the pavilion.
Contemplated improvements should
include belt drive starting on the
west near the park entrance and re-
turning via the river bank. Lay OH
and grade the roads now, before the
opening of the parish fair. 1t Will
cost very little. Crown 1t with shells
and intersect it with cross roads and
meandering footpaths as funds per-
NIT. am sure that the public will
help IL called upon.
