WESTERN
CANADA
II LAND-HUNGRY
It Is Essentially an Agricultural
Country.
Western Canada is the Meccn of the
lund-hungry tnun who wishes to earn
n good living from the soil nnd snveup
money to take cure of him In his old
age without paying a fancy price for
the privilege.
Western Canadu Is the great wheat
producing section of the North Amer
ican continent, with an average pro
duction of more than 30 bushels to the
acre as compared with ah average of
17 bushels to the acre In tho States.
Wheat raising can hardly be made
profitable on land that costs from $f0
an acre up unless such land will pro
duce a much higher than a -17 bushel
average, or unless the price of the
cereal reaches an excessive figure.
The Initial Investment or $50 an acre
is moro thnn tho nverago mau can af
ford to make if ho expects to raise
wheat and to mnke a success of It.
A good homestead of 100 acres can
still bo secured free In Western Can
ada and additional land admirably
suited to the raising of wheat can be
secured at so low a cost per acre that
It can be made extremely profitable.
No other part of the world offers
Mich frniiipnilnnu rmnnrtonltlos at the
present time to the nmbltlous young
farmer as the three great provinces of
Western Canada.
It Is worth tho while of the land
hungry man to cease his depressing
search for local cheap land or for
land tlint Is not entirely worked out by
long cropping nnd to look outside his
own district. Western Canada Is n
country that should receive the con
sideration of all such men. The West
ern Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatche
wan and Alberta are essentially agri
cultural territory.
Out of 478 million acres there are
160 million acres of llrst-class agricul
tural land actually available for de
velopment a block three and a half
times as large as the total land area of
Minnesota, and equul to the combined
land areas of Minnesota, Iowa. Wis
consin, Illinois and Indiana.
But whereas tho population of the
ilvo states mentioned Is fifteen million
people, the population of Western
Canada Is only about one and three
quarter millions.
, It has been said that the average
yycld per acre of wheat In tho United
States last year was 17 bushels. This
average does not, of course, represent
tho tfflclency which may have been
reached by individual farmers or by
individual states. However, place
against this figure the fact that the
1015 Western Canadian nverngo tho
average from nearly twelve million
acres was over !i0 bushels. In the
case of the Province of Alberta, the
averago reAchcd 32.84 bushels per acre.
- There nre already a large number of
Amerlcun farmers In Western Cnnnda,
so that the newcomer could never
overlooking tho fact that the same
language Is spoken feel himself in an
nllen country. There seems, In fact,
n tendency to establish little 'colonies
composed of those coming from the
same sections. The characteristics of
tho country, and the climate and
season, are very much the same as In'
Minnesota or North Dakota. Soclnl
conditions bear a family resemblance.
Education Is free, and Is good ; Its cost
being defrayed partly by tnxatlon,
partly by grunts from tho Cnnndlnn
Government, from tho sales of school
lands, of which, when tho country was
first surveyed, two sections In every
township wero nllocated. Taxation In
every rural district, in many towns and
cities, Is based practically on land
values alone, Improvements of nil kluds
being exempted. Advertisement.

The young man was In love. Ho had
declared his passion to the young
lady nnd she had passed lilm along to

patiently.
"It's all right so far as I am con

I am afraid that Janle will not marry

"Oh, don't sny that," the young man
pleaded. "Has she has she said so?"
"No," said tho old gentleman, "but

was touched by her evident grief, und
said :
"Oh, sorrowful one, what is your

"Your Honorable Excellency, my

"No doubt he was n good husband,
and you nre to be pitied, but why nre

A New Use For This Word
The New Post Toasties are truly entitled to the
word "delicious."
They're distinguished by the tiny bubbles found
on each flake and they carry the full, rich flavour of
choice, white Indian corn not found in corn flakes
of the past.
And unlike common corn flakes, they are not"chaffy"
in the package and don't grow mushy in milk or cream.
Note carefully the tiny bubbles then try a hand
ful dry to test the flavour. In comparison, other corn
