Last night two aeroplanes whirled
directly over the heart of the city.
They were flying low, and Paris was
quite certain that some German taubes
were coming to call. The visitors,

city instead of drawing its circumfer-

THE SECRET

of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees are pure, as the law pro
hibits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have harsh taste,
Denison's Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags OF cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations
If your grocer does not stock Denison's
Cofees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi

can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.

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

The seeding of spring wheat was
pretty general this spring about 7th
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
lshed. 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
few days later. At the time of
writing rain would be welcome, but
at seeding time, the ground contained
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 1t.
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 1t has
been poor for some years. success has
been achieved In ripening and it is
expected that 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 well 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.

not send troops to help France. There
