Safety for Birds.

Approval of the treaty for the pro-
lection of migratory birds recently
ratified by the governments of the
United States and Canada has now
been given by Great Britain. AS the
treaty was signed by President Will
son some time ago, nothing remains
to put 1t into effect save the formal
exchange of ratified copies by the two
countries involved. Therefore it may
be said that the final step has been
taken in what is probably the most
important movement for the protec-
ton of birds ever instituted in this
country or the Dominion. The treaty
will be in force for Is years, and will
automatically renew itself from year
TO year after that period, unless one
of the contracting parties gives r.
months notice of desire to terminate
it. 1t is not probable that such n
contingency will ever arise.-New

4 DIFFERENCE IN
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof
its Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George II. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest.
ment,
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are In high state of Gull
uvation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and sllos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
30 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
30 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 3,2S6 bushels His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
Si5G per bushel, gave him $2,563.0S.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.O0. Allow
ing a share of the expense of his an
nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is 80 per cent
Of the original cost of the land. Any
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not 2 or 3 per cent
on investment, as in Iowa., but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"That's no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. II. Kerton, q tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought quarter
section Of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds Of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him a
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
/ tell friends down home for your
The reply was: "Tell them 1 shall
never go back to be a tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit Of
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
lied the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: "Let mo-
ture supply the feed oil summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
IN it."-Advertlsement.

Worms Build a Great Dixie.

The famous Mont st. Michael, off
the north coast of France, is rapidly
ceasing 70 be an island. The reason,
as told to the Academic des Sciences
in Paris by Messrs. Houlbert and Ga
laine, Is that sea worms which encase
themselves in stony shells and are so
often found upon the shells of oysters,
are building a dixie across the entrance
to the bay, and behind this dixie the
sand is piling up with every tide. 1t is
estimated that this dixie is now nearly
two miles wide and from 10 to IS feet
deep.
