Famous ROYAL Artillery Band.

One of the most famous bands is
that Of the Royal artillery. Many per.
sons who have attained distinction in
the musical world have been connect
ed with the Royal artillery or it's band.
Among them was Sims Reeves, who
was the son of bandsman, and who,
in his boyhood, sang in the military
choir at Woolwich. It is, perhaps, not
well known that the Royal artillery
band is fifty years older than the
Philharmonic society, having been
formed in 1862. 1t has done much for
the advancement of music in England
and has always enjoyed the advantage
of having a succession of eminent mu
sicians as bandmasters. 1t has always
been double-handed; that is to say
the players are as proficient on
stringed instruInents as on wind, and
can at any time assume the character
of an orchestra.

WESTERN CANADA
SEEDING FINISHED
Wheat and Other Grains Have
Had an Excellent Start.

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 18th
of April or about as early as in Illinois
and Iowa. Oats and barley followed.
Information is to hand that on first
Of May all seeding was practically fin
ished. Farmers will now be busy at
their breaking, and the land for sum-
mer fallow will be entered upon. Some
who did not get their land prepared
last fall, will be later than the others,
but as the spring in Western Canada
has been very open they will be only
a few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
a splendid lot of moisture and the
lack Of rain at the present time will
not be serious. The number of farm
ers who have gone into the raising of
cattle has been considerably in.
creased, and the preparation for ex-
tensive cultivated grass pastures is
in evidence everywhere. The cult.
walton of fodder corn is being largely
entered upon in Manitoba there be-
ing upwards of $4,000 acres in corn.
In Saskatchewan there will be a
large increase in the area planted, and
in Alberta many of the more progress.
sive farmers are taking hold of it.
The yield varies according to the cul-
tivation it receives, and runs from
five to nine tons per acre. In some
portions of Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years, success has
been achieved in ripening and It is
expected that a variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada a fame
for the growing of marketable corn
equal to that it has now for the
growth of smaller cereals.
A trip through Western Canada re-
veals field after field of alfalfa, the
growth Of which in any portion of
the country is now absolutely assured.
When these facts are made known to
the farmers of the corn and alfalfa
growing states, where their value as
wealth makers is so we'll known, there
will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage Of the splendid gift of 100 acres
of land made by the Government Of
the Dominion of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands Of some of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February a large number of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm
land situation in Canada is the large
percentage of sales made to settlers
in the country who desire to increase
their holdings or to others who will
take up farming in place of different
occupations previously followed.-Ad-
vertisement.
