TO TILL UNOCCUPIED CANADIAN LANDS

■ THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ASKING FOR INCREASED ACRE* AGE JN GRAIN, TO MEET EUROPEAN DEMAND. “ There are a 'Dumber of holders of land in Western Canada, living in the United States, to whom the Canadian Government will shortly make an appeal to place the unoccupied areas they are holding under cultivation. The lands are highly productive, but in a state of idleness they are not giving any revenue beyond the unearned increment and are not of the benefit to Canada that these lands could easily be made. It is pointed out that the demand for grains for years to come will cause good prices for all that can be produced. Not only will the price of grains be affected, but also will that of cattle, hogs and horses, in fact, everything that can be grown on the faTmß. When placed under proper cultivation, not the kind that is often * resorted to, which lessens yield and land values, many farms will pay for themselves in two or three years. Careful and intensive work is required, and if this is given in the.way it Is given to the high-priced lands of older settled countries, surprising results will fob low.

''There are those who are paying rent, who should not be doing so. They would do better to purchase lands in Western Canada“fet the present low price at which they are being offered by land companies or private individuals. These have been held for the high prices that many would have realized, but for the war and the financial stringency. Now is the time to buy; or if it is preferred advantage might be taken of the offer of 160 acres of land free that is made by the Dominion Government. The man who owns his farm has a life of independence. Then again there are those who are renting" who might wish to continue as renters. They have some meaps as well as sufficient outfit to begin in a new country where all the advantages are favourable. Many of the owners of unoccupied lands would be willing to lease them on reasonable terms. Then agaiq, attention is drawn to the fact that Western Canada numbers amongst its most successful farmers, artisans, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other professions. Farming today IS a profession. It is no longer accompanied by" the drudgery that we were acquainted with a generation ago. The fact that a man is not following a farming life today, does not preclude him from going on a Western Canada farm tomorrow, and making a success of it. If he is not in possession of Western Canada land that he can convert into a farm he should secure some, make it a ‘farm by equipping it and working it himself. The man who has been holding his Western Canada land waiting for the profit he naturally expected has been justified in doing so. Its' agricultural possibilities' are certain and sure. If he has not realized immediately by making a sale, he should not worry. But to let it lie idle is not good business. By getting it placed under cultivation a greater profit will come to him. Have it cultivated by working it himself, or get some good representative to do it Set about get* ting a purchaser, a renter or some one to operate on shares. The department of the Dominion Government having charge of the Immigration, through Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent at Ottawa, Canada, is directing the attention of non-resident owners of Western Canada lands to the fact that money will be made out of farming these lauds. The agents of the Department, located at different points in the States, are rendering assistance to this end. —Advertisement ...

FEDERALS SECURE THREE STAR TWIRLERS

Veteran Pitchers Who Have Signed With Federals.

Baseball fans who follow the fortunes of the Federal league say that the Feds cracked the backbone^of American leaguct_baseball opposition recently when they signed Walter Johnson, world’s greatest pitcher, to a two-year contract with the Chifeds, and Chief Bender was taken on by the Baltimore team. Besides this, Rube Marquard, one of the New York National league’s trio of leading pitchers signed to play with the Brooklyn Federal league team. Marquard afterward admitted that he had misrepresented matters to the Federal league people and he was immediately turned back to the New York Giants. Bancroft B. Johnson, president of the American league, and Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington club, talking of the jump, do not agree as

Joe is but twentytwo years of age and should be at his best now Instead of sliding into the discard. The Mexican will make a brave attempt to win back his former laurels, but it is very doubtful if he will succeed.

BILLIARDS FOR BALL PLAYER

Scientific Pastime Requires Good Eye and Steady Nerve—ldeal Relation, Says John Kling. Johnny Kling, when he was a major league" baseball catcher, believed that Idleness did not pay. Consequently, the ex'-Cub today is earnipg more money than he did when he was a member of the world’s championship Chicago club. He is a billiard expert, and in addition, owns a handsome bil- - Hard room in Kansas City. And all this came abput because he refused to| be idle. “A ball player has considerable spare time when he is on the road,” said Kling in telling about his good fortune. “It is a fact that some of them spend the mornings in bed and the evenings in the hotel lobbies, cases or theaters. I don’t wans to say that it does them any particular harm to loaf and have a good time, but it produces laziness. “1 found that.l liked billiards when T was a young man and devoted ray spare time to that game. I did not do it merely as recreation, but with the idea that I would learn the game and the business and devote my time to it in the off-season and when I quit baseball. I always was able to pick up the right-sort of friends, congenial fellows who,liked the game of billiards, and we spent pleasant and helpful evenings at the green table. Millards is a good 1 aye and steady nerve. That to ideal negation for a ball player.”

to the value of the speed marvel known as the Idaho wond,er. Johnson says Walter was slipping and the Washington team was goiQg to get rid of him this season. Griffith says the great twirler will never pitch for the Chifeds as long as there is a court of justice. Griffith says he will resort to injunction proceedings in an effort to hold his star attraction. The Federals argue that Griffith seems to forget that Johnson’s contract with the Washington club expired with the 1914 season and the courts have decided in several cases That the reserve clause is not legal, hence Griffith’s protests may be only spasmodic. . The stand taken by President Johnson in declaring that the Washington pitcher was going back indicates that the president has little hopes of get ting Walter back into the fold.

POE, PRINCETON STAR, ORDERLY FOR COLONEL

“Johnny” Poe, former Princeton football. player and soldier of fortune, who recently enlisted In the British army, hag been promoted and is now an orderly for a colonel. His mothdr, Mrs. John P. Poe of Baltimore, has just received a letter from “Johnny.” He writes that he is in the One Hundred and Twelfth battery of the heavy brigade, Royal Garrison artillery, and says: “Our battery has been In action for the last five or six days. “I am one of the colonel’s orderlies, so ride around from one battery to another. We billet in houses and barns, and -thus far we have had‘plenty to eat and a good place to sleep. The heavy brigade flghta away from the infantry. I have had a few shells burst near me, and In most cases was well under cover. Shrapnel shells have an unpleasant sound as they go by. “We were given a splendid reception by the natives when we first arrived. There was plenty of .fruit, cigars, cigarettes, crackers, beer and chocolates gjven us. In one town the monks gave us beer. “Seldom do we see a newspaper. When I was working I never forgot the day of the .week or month, but here I am often far off in both.”

SOME ANCIENT BALL GAMES

People of Mexico and Brazil Knew Sport Centuries'Ago—Pastime Calls for Much Skill. “Pla-a-a-y is n<?t as new an expression as some people may think. Neither is playing half for a living a strictly modern invention. In fact, hundreds of years ago, way down in Yucatan, impatient crowds eat around in ball parks and yelled them* selves hoarse in the enthusiasm of the moment just as is done throughout the country today, the New York Times states. Of course, the game was not exactly baseball. But the point is that it was a ball game; that there Vere regular ball parks or courts, and that there were professionals who played the game for what there was “in it” to them. Another form of game is played by the Indian tribes of the Cuduiary river region in the wilds of Brazil. A care* fully leveled field lies in front of the large communal houses, and daily at five o’clock the men returning from the. day’s fishing or hunting indulge in the sport, not a complicated game like that of the early Mexicans, but one calling for a high degree of skill, as two balls are used by the players, who drive them with the hands'toward their opponents. Yellow tail feathers of the Yapoo.birds are aflixed to the rubber balls for aecuracy. The Araucanian Indians of southern Chile play an ancient game with wooden balls driven by wooden clubs. In a clearing 300 by 75 yards, inclosed by cut branches of trees, these Indians play chneea, which greatly resemble® la crosse or field hockey.

BRAISED LAMB WITH BARLEY

Simple but Appetising Dish Will Se Appreciated When Family aethers for Dinner. Two pound* of lamb from shoulder., two cupfuls of pearl barley, one small Spanish onion, one cupful of tomatoes (canned), salt and pepper to taste. Have the butcher .cut the meat into suitable pieces to serve, removing any unsightly edges or fat. Place a piece of suet in a deep skillet and as soon as hot put in the meat and let it sear quickly on all sides. As soon as all meat juice has been absorbed pour on enough water to cover, then simmer slowly for half an hour. Now stir the barley into the liquid, cut the onion into slices and lay on top of meat, then pour the tomato over. Cover and let simmer for about two hours. See from time to time that barley does not settle or liquid boil off. Toward last, season to taste. Try not to mash the meat an& barley. When meat is tender the barley will be soft and puffy. Serve on platter with meat in center, surrounded by barley, and pour the tomatoes and onions over with just enough of thb liquor to moisten, or if gravy is liked the liquor may be thickened with a little dissolved flour. If need be a little more hot water may be added during the cooking.-

WITH FLAVOR OF BANANA

Omelet That Is Somewhat Different •From the Kind Ordinarily Served. To make a three-egg banana omelet, separate the yolks and whites of three eggs and beat each separately. It is easier to manage if one of the whites is left out. Beat the whites to a stiff froth and season with a pinch of salt and a pindh of sugar. In the meantime have in the frying pan. over a gas burner, turned down almost to its lowest place, two tablespoonfuls of sugar spread over the bottom, except around the outer ineh, and on top of this one banana cut in very thin slices. As the sugar commences to boil and the banana to brown, lift from fire and turn each slice of banana. After this has cooked a little on the turned side, pour in the beaten yolks, and prick them while they set, as in the case of any omelet Then spread the whites over them, and let cook about three minutes longer before folding and serving. Just before the yolk is put to cook some butter may be added, about a teaspoonful, but, if carefully handled, this will not be needed. The difficulty is in keeping the sugar from burning. If just caramelized, it is delicious.

Care of Brass.

All brass beds, brass handles and hardware used on furniture are lacquered to keep them from oxidizing. The less this lacquer Is rubbed, the' longer it will laßt If a good brass bed Is wiped off frequently with a perfectly clean, soft piece of cheescloth no other polishing will be necessary. When the lacquer does wear off and the brass becomes dull, the proper thing to do is to send it to a good factory to bo rebuffed and relacquered. Once in a while a brass bed may be wiped with a soft sponge wet with slightly soapy water, wiped again with a clean water and then dried immediately with soft cheesecloth or a very fine piece of chamois skin. If you drop acid on your clothes the Immediate application of ammonia will prevent damage.

Homemade Washer.

To wash heavy things such as quilts and comforters often means much back-breaking lifting. One housekeeper ingeniously devised a method of lightening her difficulties. When she had put her heavy pieces Into the tub and soaked them well, ghe took an ordinary lard pall and made use of it for a suction washer, pushing it, upside down, on the things, thus drawing the soapy water through 'them. When they were clean she lifted them, without wringing them, hung thenr on the line and poured fresh water over them to rinse them. This made them as .clean, she found, as if she had tired herself out with rubbing them.

Pot Roast

Here Is my pot roast: Into a basin put a layer of sliced onions, one of sliced potatoes and a layer of chopped or sliced cold mutton or lamb (end of your last roast). Continue until full. Now add salt and a red pepper. Now cover top with potatoes cut in halves, which will roast a pretty brown. Sometimes I nse a pork roast end the same way, only add a little sage to flavor.

A Pastry Tipi.

To prevent the fruit Juice running over in the oven when making pies, sprinkle & little carbonate of soda over the fruit before the top crust Is put on. This prevents the juice from running over and also lessens the acidity of the fruit, so that it will not require so much sugar to sweeten It.
