Durlag tha winter months the bead ef the family coaaults with tha ether aieinliers as to the prospects for th future, and doubtless one of tha most Interesting topics discussed Is that of niorjBg to soma district where it is possible to mors easily secure what la aeceeeary for a comfortable existence, where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm land to assure a competence far the future. This not only Interests the head of the family hut every Individual mem ber of It Having before me the knowledge where he can secure s horns with th expenditure of but little money. It la well for him to obtain all information possible regarding the productiveness of the land in the country that he may aelect For several years psat a large Dumber of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as aearly st It can be ascertained almost all of these have expressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exlat there. During tha past summer a number of the editors of farm papers throughout the United States made a personal vis It on a tour of inspection, snd the re ports of these geotlemen prove Inter lng reading. Mr. H. E. Heath, editor of the Nebraska Farmer, a paper en joying a wide circulation, as well as the confidence of Its subscribers, after giving some Idea of the extent of this wonderful country, says: "Western Canada Is the last unoccu pied and unimproved good agricultural land Id America arsllsble to-day." Hs then discuses Its possibilities for raising live stock snd the sdvantages It possesses far dairying, farming and whest growing, snd says. "What hss bees said about the cesmtry ss ts the ability of th soil, th yield of woa darful crops of wheat, as salts yaetl led." To quote further from Mr. Heath, hs says, referring to dlmate: "These people (skeptical ones) ds not know or realise that sltltods more tha a latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh snd salt that never frees over, exert s wonderful Influence on dlmate. An other Influence on climate, more po tent than those named above, whir!) applies mors to the Alberts district Is the warm Chinook breese from the Pacific Ocean, which Is 000 or 70Q miles searer than Colorado or Wyo ming, besides the Rocky Mountain range Is not nearly so high nor halt so far from the ocean si It la down In the States. "In further considering the cllmat. of the Canadian prairies, we should not lose sight of the fact of the lnflu ence ef the rains; the total averag rainfall for the season is but 13.31 Inches for the territories snd 17.21 Inches In Manitoba, and that tin amounts falling between April 1 sni Oct 1 are respectively 9.39 Inches and 12 87 Inches or about three fourths ol the entire rainfall. From the middU of June to the middle of Jnly there art over two hours more daylight in ever twenty four hours than there Is It Nebraska. The main reason why West era Canada wheat grows to such per faction Is the effect of solsr light si longer period f sunshine It gets earl day. Thin is what makes seeds oi grain mora perfect grown In this coun try than elsewhere. This extrsordi nary rapid growth ef vegetation undei tha Influence of this long continued aunshlne exceeds anything known In lower latitudes. "We do not wish It understood that wheat atone Is the mala product of this country; It leads In thst yet It It destined to become famous for Its cat tle, horsos snd aheap snd for Its dairy products. Ws ssw mors and larger bands of cattle and sheep gracing in Aaslnibola snd Alberta thsn ws ever ssw on the western plslns of th Unit ed States.

The name was given to the place by the pioneer settlers and cowboys because of the large number of more or less Illustrious scions of wealthy families who flocked there an nually for s taste of the ral wild West. The ICatons were formerly I'itts ourgers, wbo settled at Medora iu the palmy days when Maniuis le Mores WiUbllshed his big packing plant, when the finger of the cowboy wa contin ually on the trigger and the gin buttle was always open to all who mi(;l)t apply.

At one time they hud an Immense corral full of live elk awaiting shipment to eastern parks. They also drove some traffic In buffalo, when one could In; bought and sold. Subsequently the Katotis d:-oer-i ihe possibilities of the "dude" trade. Many wealthy families of the Kast had sons of more or less comfort to them, and a summer In the wi:d Wes: appealed to them as a K'MMl thing for the boy. Accordingly they wen. o;:t In singles and in pairs ami droves to rough it for a season and see the Wet as It was. The Eutons boarded them, furnished them with horses, gun and the aecouterbeiits necessary. and Manned expeditions during the Mum mer for hunting and other bits of west ern experience. Upon the ranch grounds they erected a long building, separated by number less partitions Into small rooms, in each of which was a bunk and what furniture was necessary. This was known as the "dude pen," and here the visitors slept anil had their being dur ing their stay. The dudes were con spicuous by their fondness for Immense hats, revolvers, high-heeled boots, rattlesnake belts and leather "chnps."

"Speaking of military matters, re minds me of a good story an officer was telling me sometime ago and it goes to show that the private does not always know the men to whom he must pay more than ordinary resect," said h man in the New Orleans Times 1 emo crat. "The Incident happened where a considerable numler of liuliters were quartered, and the private who figured In the story no doubt experienced whip trouble in keeping up with the officers. "One afternoon he was addressed by a gentleman he did not recognize as V,ng another more than of an ordinary sort, and in fact he paid only scant at tention to him. The gentleman was prompt to resent the scant courtesy. He was not only hurt because of the lack of regard shown him by the pri vate, but he was wrathy. " 'Why don't you salute me? he de manded of the private. 'Salute you?' said the private o,uestionlngly and sneerlngly. 'Yes why don't you sa lute me? the gentleman said again pull ing his shoulders up and assuming the characteristic military attitude. "I am your superior officer, and you owe me some sort of regard.' "The private scanned bin) carefully. He thought for a second, then raised his hand and saluted the gentleman. 'I'll salute you,' said the private, "nod If I find out you are not an officer you or me will have to take a licking." lie found out afterwards that he had made no mistake In saluting the gentleman, f.r he wao sn officer.

The squatting position should Ih one in which the student as nearly hm h)mI1iIi sits upon the heels, but head and trunk should be erect or nearly so. When this position has been taken, bring the arms tip horizontally forward, clasping the bands for a moment only. Next throw the arms as far backward as possible and as nearly horizontal us you can, performing this last move ment slowly.
