EXPERT’S TRIBUTE 10 WESTERN CANADA 5011 That there is good reason for the wonderful crops of grain grown in Western Canada, which have made thousands of former residents of the United States wealthy, is not always given the thought that it deserves is quite apparent. But that there must be a reason is quite evident. Probably more than- one —but the one that requires emphasis—-is that the soil is of the nature that will produce good crops. It was not long since that the farmer selected his land in the most haphazard way. He need not do so today. He will select it on the soil analysis plan. Soil from Western Canada was submitted to Prof. Stevens, soil physicist of the State College of Washington, at Pullman, Wash. His report should no doubt further encourage settlement In Western Canada. It reads as follows: " “We have analyzed this sample and find that it runs high in lime, very high in potash, phosphorus and in nitrogen ; that it has a splendid supply of organic matter and is in the best of physical condition. There is nothing wrong with this soil from the standpoint of crop production, and I am satisfied that it will give splendid results wherever put under cultivation.” It is soil like this properly worked, and on scientific lines, as is the rule today, that gives the opportunity to quote the experiences of farmers who have increased their incomes from SSOO to $30,000 in two seasons, and whose story would read as follows: “I have threshed altogether 7,000 bushels of No. 1 Northern wheat from 200 acres, which went from 24 to 50 per acre —sod breaking 24, spring plowing 36, back setting 56 bushels—the average being 35 bushels per acre.” The newspaper giving an account of this man’s experience says: “When he disposed of his 1,600 acres from north of Brooks, Alta, to four Oak Harbor men, he was worth $30,000. Two years ago he came here with SSOO and a few horses.” It is the soil of Western Canada, and the knowledge of what it will do that brings to Canada the hundreds of settlers that are daily arriving at the border. A growing enthusiasm for the fertile prairie lands of Western Canada is spreading all over the continent. This enthusiasm is the recognition of the fact that sufficient food could be produced on these prairie lands to feed the world. From the south, east and'west, hundreds of men, too old for military service, are pouring into Western Canada to take up land or to work on the farms. A great many of the incoming settlers have arrived at such central points as Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge, Alberta, and at Regina, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Judging from the bulk of their household effects, the number of their horses and cattle, and the quantity of implements they are bringing with them, most of the new arrivals also seem well blessed with the world’s goods. Reports from North Portal, Saskatchewan ; Coutts, Alberta, and Kings- i gate, British Columbia —the principal • gateways into Western Canada from I the United States —indicate that the > present influx of farmers is in such ; volume as has not been witnessed for many years. From Vancouver, British Columbia, people are going to the . prairies for summer farm work, many with the intention of taking up land themselves at the end of the summer. - The influence of this tide of farmer settlers on greater food production will be more readily appreciated when it is -considered that the average settler lakes up at least twice as much land as he has hitherto been farming—and land which, acre for acre, produces better and larger crops.—Advertisement.

OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively’ advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. Thia applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and rsrified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers’ Swamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric, acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a cample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. _ Address Dr. Kilmer &, Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.—Adv.
