WESTERN CANADA IS AIL RIGHT.

Delegates representing a number ot neighboring farmers in Clay county,, Minn., who visited the Edmonton district Western Canada last summer irre evidently very well satisfied with the result of their trip. They think so! well of the country that, in addition tc| the privilege of obtaining a free homestead of 100 acres of land, they have also purchased land. Tn a recent interview on the subject, Messrs. C. E. and A. Hughes, of Barnesville, Clay county,, say: “We are well pleased with western Canada. It is far ahead of what we expected. As for the crops, we have never seen anything that t?an compete 'With them. We have lived ih Minnesota and have farmed some of what they count the best lands in the Red River valley for ten years, and have done very’ well in that part of the country, and have farms there at present free of all encumbrance, but believe that this country (western Canada) is so much better that we h?v$ AS&ught from the Canadian Pacific Railyway company one section of land northeast of Edmonton, in the Beavet Hill district. We have traveled through that part of the country, and have seen the grain in the granaries and the amount of laud that it was taken off, and find that theybave grown as much as 50 bushels and over to the acre, and they say that this has not been a good year, and very little if any grain has been touched by the frost. Hay'seem* to be plentiful, and if you wish to put up log buildings you can get the logs within a few miles. Coal can be had at the mines for 75 cents per ton. or you can dig it yourself. Nearly all kinds of garden truck can be grown in abundance. We find everything that egn be grown in good demand. The fanners tell us that they can get four and a half HVe weight per hundred for hogs, and for three-year-old steers from $5p to $60 per head, providing they are good. We will move into that part of the'country next summer. All the people in that part of the country seen satisfied. and \ye do not see any reason why they should not be so." Messrs. Hughes also stated that they yi ould be very glad to afford anyone desiring particulars about the country t.hey had visited the fullest information, on receiving inquiries at Barncsville. Clay couijty. before the first of June next, when it is understood they propose to return to the Edmonton district. Reflection of a Bachelor. The dreariest thing is wasted love. .

A CHEAP GREENHOUSE. Ilow it Maita«huettt.G«rd»Bor Bolli a Very Good Structure for Very Little Money. I have seen from tinie to time instructions on building various styles of greenhouses. Now I thirk I have one that some others would like. It is one •which I made myself during my leisure moments, both night and morning. ( present the drawings that ethers may do as I did. The plan is t-16-inch to tha foot. The rafters and uprights I had made, but the rest of the work I did myself. There are 600 panes of glass in the roof addend; the size i»8%by6%inch(-&. These were plates of pictures or photo* a

GREENHOUSE AND BOILING ROOM. graphic negatives—larger glass would be better. The glass in the belt or the upright is 9 liy 12 inches. The rafters are three^fourths inch between the glass and the uprights are one-fourth inch between the glass. This make: everything cotne all right. There are two skylights on the east and one on the west side, two slide windows in the belt on each side of the house. From the bottom of the belt to the ground is 3% feet. This can be made from old boxes, with a cleat or strip over the erack of the edges. The boiler room is.two feet deep The bottoms or sides are cemented ot stones laid in cement. The top and sides are lined with sheet iron and painted to keep from tasting. The chimney is of brick about seven feet

INTERIOR ARRANGEMENT. high and four lengths, or six feel of sixinch Acron pipe on top of brick. The ventilator over the boiler is of galvanized iron, eight inches in diameter, six feet high with a damper ;r. it. This takes away gas that may tscape, and is regulated at night to keep the house ventilated. The boiler is for hot water, and is the best thing of its kind I have ever seen for a portable boiler. This is the second winter I have used it. and I do not have any trouble to keep the house at 60 degrees, when it is zero outside. Jt takes two tons of egg coai, and‘one-hali .ton of screenings for the year round by putting on a little coal four times a day. The coal bin will hold one-half ton of^coal and one-half ton rt screenings. There is about 112 feet of two-incb piping in the form of the letter L running under the west side and end oi bench. The east side is portable, so I can take the bench down when I want to stand chrysanthemums on the ground. After they are gone I put the bench up again, and everything is all rights The water tank is supplied with watei j from the roof of the shed The house j iir.d shed arc double boarded on 2 by 4 | joist, unakiug it four inches thick and filled with sawdust. * There are two doors at the entrance. The outside door is a good thing, as it keeps the other door from freezing or sweating.— Charles S. Bingham, in American Gardening. A FEW DAIRY POINTERS. If the better is too ssoft feed the cov» seme potatoes. Stringy milk can be eured by keeping the cows clean. Wash all milk Vessels with cold wate? before scalding. Whitewashed stables mean fewer flies and more milk. If the butter is mottled work it a lit tie after salting. Many dairymen like an ounce of salt to the pound of butter. Cows and horses should not be al lowed in the same pasture. „ Richer feed does not mean richei milk; it means more milk. Do not wet your hands when milking; if you do you flavor the milk. Heating milk to 160 degrees Pasteur izes it. Stir it continually while hot. When butte? is poor don’t blame the cow. Blame your own want of skill. You waste 25 peV cent, of your butter in summer by not using a separator. Adding hot water to cream while churning is the worst of all practices. If the butter takes too long to come add one to two fresh cows to the dairy. Warm milk from the cow does not-ab-sorb odors. While cooling keep it in a pure atmosphere.—Illinois Dairy Report. A Lesson from Germany. “Many of the German highways across the country are maintained in this manner,” says Cycling: “They are shaded by fruit trees. Passers-by pick up and eat any of the fruit found upon the ground, but may not take any off the trees. This rule is carried out by an efficient patrol. When ripe, the fruit is sold in one lot to the highest bidder, and the proceeds are used to keep up the roadway.”

A remedy recommended for patients afflicted with the grippe is Kemp's Balsam, which is especially adapted to diseases of the throat and lungs.

The Balsam prevents this by keeping the cough loose. All druggists sell the Balsam.
