Western Canada's December Weather Equal to that of May In Minnesota.

To the Editor—Thomas Regan and O. Collins, of Eden Valley, Minn., went out to Western Canada last December as delegates, to look over the grazing and grain lands that are being offered at such low prices and reasonable terms. This is what they say: “We arrived in Calgary about the 20th December, and although we bad left winter In Minnesota and Manitoba, we were surprised to find beautiful warm weather at this point, quite equal to what we have In May In Minnesota. There was no snow nor/traee of winter to be seen, and the climate was, really splendid. Horses, cattle and sheep were running out, in prime condition, with plenty of feed on the prairie, and really better than that of ours stabled lb the South. We are impress* ed with this country as one of the finest mixed farming countries w T e have ever seen. The immense tracts of fertile lands well sheltered and abundantly watered leave nothing to be desired. Leaving Alberta, we returned east and visited the Yorkton district in Asslniboia. We drove out about ten miles at this point, and were highly pleased with the splendid samples of grain we were able to see, wheat yielding twenty-five bushels, oats sixty bushels. Roots were also good specimens. From what we have seen, we have decided to throw in our lot with the Yorktoners—satisfied that this part of the country will furnish good opportunities for any one anxious to make the best of a really good country. Any agent of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere in the columns of your paper, will give you full particulars of the new districts being opened out this year In Asslniboia and Saskatchewan, Yours truly, OLD READER. The United States is ahead of all other countries in the art of making artificial teeth. A recent computation makes the number of artificial teeth here as high as 6,000,000 annually.
