FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, Prac-
tice Due Economy, and Adopt
Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice of those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but it has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either a homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided a sure future. They have COM
Portable homes and all their surround.
ings are comfortable, speak of the re-
ward that their thrift has accom-
plished.
Carl Dickan, of Russian Poland lived
in Pittsburgh, Pa, for fourteen years,
and saved up 5000. In 1903 he took
the 5000 with him to Alberta. His own
story is that he bought a quarter sec,
ton, for which he agreed to pay
$1,000. I'm 1904 l had thirty acres Of
crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I
bought another quarter. l now have
one hundred acres under cultivation,
and have had a crop failure.
Have threshed forty-seven bushels of
wheat per acre, but the average has
been about forty. My oats for the
eleven years that l have been here
averaged f~orty-seven bushels to the
acre now have 9 horses, AZ head
of cattle, 33 hogs, which l consider
worth $4,000. l have a thousand dol
lars worth of farm implements and
my land is worth $4,000. This is all
clear Of debt. l have every reason to
consider this a first-class mixed farm
ing, dairying and poultry raising coun-
try, as I think that it is apparent that
l have had some success. The only
help that 1 had was my oldest boy,
who was s years old when 1 arrived
in Alberta"
About fifty miles west of Wetaski-
win there is a partially timbered dis
trict lying between Buck Lake and
Pigeon Lake. All this land is ready
for homesteading, and judging from a
letter received by a resident there,
this would seem to be an ideal place
for a farmer who desired such sur
roundings. This settler lives on the
shore of Buck Lake, his land Is willow
brush, which is easy to clear. Some
of the lumber is good saw timber,
and lots of good logs for buildings can
be had, as well as rails for fencing.
For wheat growing the soil is excel
lent. Water is easily secured, fishing
is good and plentiful and game is any
thing but scarce. The settlers are
mostly from the United States and
Canada.-Advertisement.

questionable. 1t is not the really vi

WELFARE WORK GOING ON
Many States Considering Measures
Which Have to Do With Fight
Against tuberculosis.

Bills dealing Wits tuberculosis are
now being considered in 80 state legis-
latures, according to a statement of
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
In six states bills are being consid-
cred which call for the reporting and
registration of all living cases of tu-
~berculosis. Five states and the Dis
trict of Columbia are working for laws
which will require that consumptives
who refuse to observe sanitary regula-
tons and are a menace in hospitals.
In six states legislation permitting the
establishment of county or local hos
pitfalls for tuberculosis are being dis
cussed, and in another group of six.
state subsidies of So to SIS per week
per patient are being asked for such
institutions. A more or less complete
reorganization of state health work is
sought in several states, especially
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka, Texas and Arizona. In Indiana and
Alabama bills providing for full time
county and city health officers are be-
ing considered.
AS an aid in furthering these sim
liar bills, the national association has
issued a pamphlet entitled "Tubercu-
losis Legislation" which contains a
digest Of existing laws in this field
with comments and comparisons Of
some Of the most important ones.
