INTERESTING TO AMERICANS. Western Canada Will Soon Hecome the Supply Depot for Wheat for L Great Britain. ‘ During the past year about 50,()?0’; 'Ameri'((?ins went from the United States’ to Canada. Most of these settled upon “farm lands, and the writer-is informed ' by agents of the Canadian Government " that the greatest syccess has followed the efforts of nearly all. To their . friends on this side of the boundary line the fullest assurance is gi-‘yen of the prosperity that is in store' for them. There will always be a Esplendid market for. all the grain, 'cattle and other produce-that.an be raised in Western Canada, and with the advantages offered of a free homestead of . 160 acres of land, and other lands which may be bought cheaply, an ex- , cellent climate, sprendid s¢hool system; 5 educational advantages of the best, : + what more is required. The husbandman gets more return for his money than in any other country in the world. On the occasion of Sir Wilfred Laurier’s visit to the Corn Exchange, . London, Eng., Colonel Montgomery, V. D.. made several important statements. - “The funection (he said) which you —have just been assisting in connection with a kindred association has doubtJess shown you the importance of the provision trng of Liverpool in its re_la.tionship with the Dominion, and the enormous possibilities of the futlire de- * velopment of that trade. Well, ' the grain trade of ‘Liverpool has interests with Canada no lgss important than those of the provision trade. When it . lis borne in mind that 80 per cent. of ~ the breadstuffs of this great country has to be brought from abroad, you will ¢ readily appreciate with what great sat- . isfaction we view the large and steadily increasing supplies of grain which are annually available for export from » Canada, and I challenge contradiction when 1 say that of the wheats we import from Russia, India, the Pacific, and | the length and breadth of the United . States, none gives more general satisfaction. none is more generally appreci- ° ated, than that raised in the Province of Manitoba. We cannot get enough of it, and it is no exaggeratior_l to say that there are before us dozens of millers who hunger for ®. This is not the time to enter into statistical questicps, but we look forward wtih confiderce to the time at which, with the presenf rate of progress, the Dominion of Canada will have a sufficient surplus of whga: to render ‘this country inde- _ pendent of other sources of supply. I _think I may. with justifiable pride. remind you that this is the chief grain market of the British Empire, - and through its excellent geographical position, as well as through the enterprise of its millers it is now the second milling center in the world.” - Send to any authorized Canadian .

RKORGA—LAND OF THE MORNING GALM

Peculia;'i‘ties of the Little Eastern Kingcfon) Tl'!cf Is Now War Ridden by Japan and Russia. 3

OREA, now war-ridden, is ‘the frowsy corner of the eastern household where Nature, like a careless ‘ * housemaid, has ‘broomed the refuse sweepings of . Asia. In that little, knobby peninsula of Cho-sen (“Land of the Morning Calm”), mixed and irreconcilable nationalities jostle one another, ‘keeping aliver the antagonisms of caste and kind. The son of the mikado i§ at daggers drawn with his celestial cousin, most of the Europeans are not on speaking terms, and the Korean himself cordially detests everybody, and is in turn distrusted by all parties. Korea, in .regard to its limited area (about two and a half times the size of Scotland), is more prolific in internecine dissension than any spot.on the globe. In no more suitable area could be struck the first blows of thg world’s approaching Armageddon. Situated at the elbow of that bone of contention, Manchuria, with the direct road to Peking stretching from the western gate of its capital, Seyool, itis not surprising to-find the Mongolian leaven prominent in Korea. Originally conquered by Korai, a warrior of Fuyu, it acknowledged the suzerainty of ‘China for several centuries, and annually paid tribute. The latter custom, however, fell into desuetude, and was renewed only as late as ten years ago, when Japan first began to flirt with her cousin of the Yellow sea. Nevertheless, the Korean is not faithful to any blood-strain, and is as thoroughly cosmopolitan in 'physiognomy and

seefhing for a whole twelvemonth, settled in a most primitive fashion, and often half the town is drawn into the brawl. The creditor, catching his debtor abroad, may thump and pound him to his heart’s content, and no one may interfere. For 14 days a veritable pandemonium reigns, and as a method of “clearing the air” it is certainly not without interest—for the spectator. . Seyool, the capital (generally and incorrectly spelt Seoul by the westerner), on the Hang Kang river, is an untidy, ill-built ecity,” surrounded by 20-foot walls. The curfew system, common to feudal England, still prevails as_ in most Korean towns. A great bell is rung at sunset, and the gates are immediately closed, mot to be Treopened until the following sunrise. No lights may then be carried in the streets, and no one may go in or out of the city, with one rather startling exception. All funerals, by immemorial custoln, take place only at night, and for this purpose there is a special exit called “The Gate of the Dead.”' Between the hours of sunset and dawn, no male is allowed.to be abroad in the .streets; these hour¥ are sacred to the women, and constitute their only privilege. They usually employ the time in paying visits. Up.to é few years ago any masculine philandeérer found' out after dark was beheaded, but since the Europeans have introduced their own customs the entire system is in danger of revolution. . : ‘ "Seyool is one of the filthiest and worst-kept towns to be found in all the east. Fhe idea of drainage has not

as yet entered the official mind, and that pestilence has not made there Its abiding home is proof of a beneficeut Providence. During the writer's sojourn some years ago it was not an unusual occurrence. for the agile leopard (Korea's most common “wildfowl”)' to scale one of the walls, and entering the nearest house, carry off a child in the darkness. To-day, however, we have changed all that; but Seyool’s greatest need, from a western point of view, is still a decent hotel. The native dwelling house is an impossibility to all but a salamander. The flooring, in most cases, is composed of neatly-jointed flat stones, over which mats are laid. Underneath is a hollow space, in which firewood is laid in bundles and lighted. The paper doors are then slid into their grooves, excluding all air, and soon you find yourself in a Turkish bath. The average newcomer only tries it once. The Koreans have a far keener sense of humor than the Chinese or the Hindoo. They are more kindly disposed to the, poor, and more ready to help them than are the Japanese. But in childish superstition of every conceivabie kind the Cho-Senese have few, if any, rivals. The religion is largely Shamanism; serpents, as in India, are reverently worshiped, and the country is overrun by astrologers, magicians and fortune tellers. : BERNARD ESPINASSE.: - SWISS CITIZENSHIP. - How the Native Bormn Can Be Relieved of His ‘.\illitary.

The vast number of Swiss watchmakers who have taken up their abode in this country will.no doubt be interestéd, says the Jeweler’s Circular, in the following warning to Swiss-Amer= icans returning to Switzerland, by Consul A. Lieberknecht, Zurich, Switzerland: : : : ‘“The attention of students and others intending to remain for any length of time in Switzerland is called to the necessity of providing themselves with passports. Many naturalized American citizens labor under a m;sapprehension as to their old and new citizenship rights and responsibilities. They return to Switzerland with naturalization papers or passports, only to find themselves Swiss citizens again. ’ “In this country a person never loses his citizenship, no matter how long he may absent himself, unless he’ goes-through certain necessary formalities. If he returns and is owing a military tax, he is compelled to pay the same in spite of the fact that he is an American citizen. The only way to be released from old responsibilities is by making a written request to his home community for such release, submitting proof at the same time that he has acquired American citizenship.” --—'i‘h{ Home in No Danger, Statesman—My dear madam, your arguments ju support of woman'’s suffrage are all very well so far as they go, but you leave out of the problem the ‘most important factor of all—the home, madam, the home—the unit of American’ government. : .

They Enable Gardeners to Raise ,' Earlier Vegetables at But | | Slightly Higher Cost. | ! ‘Hotbeds are frames covered with glass ‘“and heated by some artificial means, usually by fermenting manure placed under the whole structure. ‘They are used for several purposes, but nrainly for the purpose of starting plants for transplanting earlier than they could be started out of doors, and for the forcing, on a small scale, of some of the more common .and hardy vegetables, such as radishes. As a result, it is but natural that they should be made and used largely in the late winter and early spring months. ; ‘ The frames may be made of various: materials, but when they are to be usei for several years, they should be made of two-inch stuff so fitted together as to be easily taken apart for convenient storage, yThese frames are coxgmo_n]y mage 6 by 12 feet, so as to give room for four sash, each of which is 3 by 6feet. The south side of the frame is usually made 4 to six inches lower than the morth, thus giving drainage from rain water as well as a better expostre to the sun.

CRQSB SECTION OF HOTBED. Frames should be planned so that the glass is as close as possible to the plants, without crowding them—about a foot or a foot and a half above the soil on the average. The sash is so placed upon these frames that the lower end may be raised for ventilation and for whatever work and care may be necessary. They should also be so .arranged that they can be .completely removed in hot weather. ¥ipi Having prepared the frames and the sash, the next thing is to find a location and to furnish the heat. Preferably hotbeds should be located in some place sheltered from winds and slightly sloping to the south,where they will receive the full benefit of the sun’s rays. Convenience is another thing which should not be overlooked, for the beds require considerable care and -'so ‘should be handy to the house and to the water supply. Having chosen our location we. should dig the pit whichis to contain the manure for heating. This should be done in the fall before freezing weather. By filling this pit with some manure or rubbish the ground may be kept from freezing, so that it is warmer and more easily worked when ready for use in the spring. The best manure for heating is fresh horse manure containing about half straw or litter. This should be piled so as to allow heating for.about two or three weeks before ready for use. At first the manure ferments unevenly, and so it must be piled several times, taking care to distribute the heating manure evenly throughout the pile. When it has heated evepgl§* throughout it is ready for the hotbed. Care should be taken to have the manure firmly and evenly packed in the pit, and to get it in this condition it is best to putitininlayersandallow each to settle somewhat before the next is put in. | When the manure is all in, level off the top and place about six inches of rich, light loamy soil, preferably ' with considerable humus, upon it. : After the manure has been placed in the bed the temperature will rise very rapidly for several days until it reaches amaximum temperature,after which the temperature gradually recedes. When it has fallen to about 80 or 90 degrees it is ready for the seed. The depth of manure depends upon.the climate, purpose for which it is to be used, and the length’ of time heat is required. L. H. Bailey says: “Hot beds which are supposed to hold two months should have about ‘214 feet of manure. For a light hotbed, to be used late in the season, 6 or Binches may be sufficient.” By bearing in mind these general directions and the cross-section shown here, oné may easily construct a hotbed that will make possible earlier and better vegetables at but very slightly . increased cost and trouble.—M. L. Merritt, in Prairie Farmer. '

CARE OF DAIRY ANIMALS. ~ The milking stable should be as free from dust as possible.at the time of milking. Feed dry fodders after the milk is removed from the stable. . Brush the udder and flanks with a stiff brush to remove the dirt and loose hairs. Sponge off the udder thoroughly with clean water, leaving it moist, but not dripping wet. Ensilage, turnips, etc., should omly be fed immediately after milking, so as to allow time'for the elimination of the volatile products of these feeds from the system of the animal.: " Use only clean tin milk pails. Reject all rusty or patched tinware in the milk business. Unless seams and joints are extra well soldered, it will pay to have an extra coating over all the seams, and the joints well flushed.— Farm and Fireside. : German Calf Vaceination. - Every calf in Germany will be vaccinated with specially prepared human tuberculesis bacilli upon the attainment of its third month if the proposals of Prof. Behring, the great bacteriologist and opponent of Prof. Koch’s tuberculosis theories, are adopted by the reichstag. Prof. Behring earnestly pleaded the adoption of an imperial law to this end in ¢onference with the ministry of agriculture. The professor ‘also proposes to add a gram of forma“lin to every ten-quart can of milk. He maintains that fresh milk contains elesnents fatal to disease bacteria, but ‘that it quickly loses them.. Formalirn, “he adds, would conserve these elements ‘_indeﬂnitely. Prof. Behring has inter“ested Berlin’s milkmen in his plans,

GOOD ROADS QUESTION. % Thoughtful People Everwhere Agre& That It Bears an Important Re- } lation to National Life. i iy i The following communication to the president signed by more than 60 (#] the prominent men of the"state of Maryland, comprising county, schorﬁ{‘ and road commissioners, touches upon some vital points in the problem ot‘ road improvement: “The elementB that have | hitherto constituted th American race which has made oufr country great are the ones most likel to keep it great. To leave the frui of our toil to be enjoyed by our chilidren’s children is a more pleasing prost pect than to look forward to a timi when they shall vanish from the homes we created and their places bé taken by the progeny of those wh may come into the house after we have swept and’ garnighed it. Now, large families are bred in the country! The city kills them. It has been proved that five generations of = city life suffice to wipe out any family thad receives. no new infusion of countryi blood: We therefore applaud your statement that ‘it is a good thing to| encourage in every way any tendencyg to check an umnhealthy flow from the country to the city.” To that end y.oul point out .the most effectual means:tl ‘No one thing can do so much to offse : the tendency toward an unhealth {rend from the country into the city as the making and keeping of good Toads.’”” But why are country roads bad? Because the entire burden ' of building and repairing them has inl most cases been thrown on the farm-f ers, whose means are not sufficient for| the task. . This is unjust. Good roads benefit not only the farmer who hauls his produce over them, but alsSo the city to which it is hauled. Every large city far exceeds in wealth the country area which supplies it with food and which in turn is supplied by it with ma‘ngfact,uyed goods; yet the poorer off the two partners, city and country,: has to bear the expense of keeping up‘ the highways of communication .beJ tween them. What can be more evi dent than that the cost of a publi necessity should be shared alike by, those who profit by it? Above all, thef paramount need for large families is aj national need, and hence every section and every class of the nation is inter-i ested in having profific families kept prolific by inducing them to stay o the farms. Under ;an _equitable syslem, therefore, the state and the natio must cooperate with the country in th care of roads. This principle is em hgdied in the Brownlow bill, whic providés that Ithe national governmen is to bear a portion of the expense o road improvement. . It is certain tha ‘this aid, instead of lessening, wil greatly increase the amount whic farmeg's spend for roads, since the* can get increased aid only by increas%; ing their own expenditure. Moreover, a given amount of money spent undel} this system of cooperation will - pro duce far greater results, since it wil! be devoted in large sums to permay nent improvement under, expert direct tion,[ instead of being wasted by inex: perienced men in annual patchworlﬁ, annually swept into the ditches.? There can be no question that, as here pointed out and as stated by the presiident in His message to congress, th road question bears an important r lation to our national life. Qur grade school system and our free rural mail delivery have undoubtedly come tb stay. In no other way can the rural population be -given the educational advantages now enjoyed by thé citi or be supplied with a proper means $ communication. Their rights to .bot are unquestionable and their maintenance will necessitate better roads. Prairie Farmer.. ! e | LIQUID MANURE :TANK. !
