Nothing; has ever come of the talk of taxing the bachelors in America. In Strasburg. Germany, the town council haw adopted a system of paying municipal employes, which puts In effect a tax not only on bachelors, but on married men with small families. A standard schedule of salaries has been arranged adapted to the needs of married men with three children. Single men between the ages of twenty and twenty, five y.-ars receive 10 per cent less inan the schedule salary. When a man has more than three children he receives 5 per c-'t. more than the standard schedule. 10 pr cent, more for five children and la per cent, more If he has sovon children. A similar system has been In operation In Halberstadt for some time, with this difference, that the extra allowance for children are paid directly to the mothers.

The farmers wife will now feel that there la one man in the country who understands her position, and he the highest in authority. Farmers' wives grow old before their time and farmers' daughters cannot help noticing it and dreading to follow in Iheir mothers faotsteps. "If you have to drop some one, drop one hired hand rather than tho hired girl." said the President The advice la good, but the trouble Is to get the one hired girl in tho first place. The dlfttns'e of domestics for country life, and especially Hfe on the farm, has greatly lntnBinot mn problems, aad that, as 'much aa anything, has helped to depopulate the rural sections. The housewife of today Is thus in wont plight than she was forty years ae. We believe this is a transit km period and that a remedy wIIT ho found, though as yet it is not plainly In sight.

show what the settlers of Western Canada

have raised this year iu the way of grain.

Never iu the history of any country

has there bien a more prosperous year

for farmers than the present one in the

Domi nion est. So enormous has lieen

the grain production that nearly I'.'VXX).-

0M) jwunds of binder twine were required

for the crops. Oats this season

have gone ns high as one hundred bushels to the acre, while over large areas

of country the average has been ns high as eighty and ninety bushels. The whent yield has been ns high as fifty bushels to

the acre, and from figures already In it is behoved that the total will show an

average yield of between twenty and twen

ty-five bushels to the acre throughout the three prorinccs.

It is (lithcult for one to understand

just what Western Canada means to the

farmer until he takes at least one trio

through that country. As yet the vast

grain lands of the three western prov

inces, with an area large enough to support the popnlntion of a nation, have

hardly been scratched. In other words. It

may truthfully be said that the tremen

dous production of these provinces to-dny

is that of a few pioneers. Lmt year Kixty thousand of the best farmers in the I'tilted States took up new homes for themselves there, and from the statistics of the past two or three years each

one of these settlers will be harvesting

linliM oti each side of these roads the great part of the population of settlers he Itevood thee narrow belts are millions of avres of the best land in the

A lew paragraphs bark. 1 made tho statement thnt many American land com

which have len weured through W. .?.

Kennedy, of the Department of Immigra

tion, who has made an exhaustive inves

tigation of this subject. According to

the results of his investigation there are

at the present time more thnn 10A000 free homesteads already surveyed and n waiting settlers, and in addition to those there are vast tracts of the best land in the world which have not yet been surveyed, nnd which will bo honiostcmled. And from my long experience in the Dominion West. I confidently believe that during the next two years nearly nil of these homesteads wil have been taken up by good American farmers the farmers from our own States who are making Western Canada what it is to-day. Years ago the best advice in the world was, "Young man. go West." To-day it has changed in n small way. Now it is: "Young man. go to Wettern Canada."
