THAT ARE MISSED
Why Wait? Why Not Go to West
ern Canada Now?

The writer has frequently heard the
remark that "after the war we will go
to Western Canada" 1t does not Oc-
they wish to secure lands in Western
Canada, whether by homestead or pur-
chase, the best time to go is now. After
the war the welcome will be just as
hearty as ever, but the chances are
that land values will increase and TO-
day homesteads are plentiful and land
is reasonable in price. There is no
question about what the land In Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta VIII
do, what it will give under proper cul-
tivation.
Farmers in Western Canada are pay
ing for their land holdings with the
proceeds of last years crop. That this
is no idle statement may be CLEANED
from the three following items, when
are picked out at random:
I'm the spring of 1916 a half-section
of land was offered for sale at $17.OO
per acre. There were 1O5 acres OF
summer-fallOw, which because the
owner could not at the time ind
buyer, were seeded to wheat. A yield
of 40 bushels per acre, 1920 bushels
all told, grading No. 1, was obtained.
The price the day the grain was SOLO
(Which was very early in the season,
before grain prices advanced to round
about $1,000 was SLIGO, which brought
the handsome total of $6,720.0O. Three
hundred and twenty acres at $l1.oO
equals $4,000, so that buyer, by
placing less than half of the whole
under crop, would have made pro1t
Of $1,2S0.O0." - Robson Messenger.
Robson, Sask.
"That the Indiana Boys farm this
year raised sufficient crop to pay for
the land, all the machinery and ali
overhead expenses as well as make
handsome profit, is the information
given by N. B. Davis, the manager
The wheat yield was over $4,000 bush
els. OF twelve cars already sold, nine
graded No. 1, and Mr.. Davis has sold
over 2,oO0 bushels locally for seed at
$500. Naturally, when he gets to In
diana he will be big booster for Al
berta." -Bassano Mail, Bassano, Alta.
oscar Castalor, who bought land at
Blusson after the crop had been put
in last spring, for $3,800.00, has
threshed 5000 bushels of wheat, which
is worth at present prices about
$4,000. He refused an offer of
$5,OOO.OO for the land after the crop
had been taken off. Her
aid, Lethbridge, Alta.
Reports from the wheat fields are
highly encouraging and show that the
wheat crop of many farmers in West
ern Canada was highly satisfactory.
Coblenz, Sask.-W. A. Rose has
threshed an average of 33 bushels per
acre and SO bushels Of oats.
Gleichen, Alberta.-Up to date 237,-
S12 bushels Of grain have been received
by local elevators, of which nearly
100000 bushels were wheat. Seventy
one cars of grain have already been
shipped.
StOop Creek, Sask.-James McRae
has threshed 5,4OO bushels of grain.
1000 bushels Of which were wheat,
grading No. 1 Northern. One field
averaged A bushels per acre, and a
large field of oats averaged So bushels.

The New Method
(BY L. W. BOWER, NJ. D.

Backache of any kind is often caused
by kidney disorder, which means that
the kidneys are not working properly
Poisonous matter and uric acid accumu-
late within the body in great abundance
over working the sick kidneys, hence
the congestion of blood causes backache
in the same manner as similar con-
gestion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, respondent, sick,
feverish, irritable, have spots appearing
before the eyes, bags under the lids, and
lack ambition to do things.
The latest and most effective means
of overcoming this trouble, is to eat spar
ingly of meat, drink plenty water be-
tween meals and take a single Anuric
tablet before each meal for a while.
Simply ask your favorite druggist for
Anuric. II you have lumbago, rheuma-
tisnL govt, dropsy, begin Immediately
