FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon and Is Well Pleased. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western* Canada to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report Is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to" Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country In that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from twelve Inches to three feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion fiver, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and ould often cut three to four tons to the acre. From Edmonton 1 passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetaskiwln, Lacombe and other points. From Macleod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon; Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves, one party buying twelve sections, and the other twenty sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and territories In our Union, and never In my lifetime have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as flue a stock country.

Proof Positive. "Where did you get your pretty ring, Edna?” asked a visitor of a bright 4-year-old miss. “Brother Will gave it to me,” she answered. “Is it a diamond?” queried the visitor. "Well, I should think it ought to be,” was the indignant retort. “It cost 39 cents,”—Chicago News. Brooklyn, N. Y, Jan. 18.—A very timely and practical suggestion comes from a physician of tbls city.
