k fm f- CANADA WEEK I CHICAGO CANADIAN EXHIBITS AT. LIVB STOCK AND LAND SHOWS CE.N- TER OF ATTRACTION. The hats wero doffed to Cnnadn during the two wcokB of the hand Show and the week of the Livo Stock Show at Chicago. Willing to dloplay its goods, anxious to let the people of the central states know what could be produced on Canadian fnrm lands, and tno quality of the article, Hon. Dr. Roche, minister of the Interior of Canada, directed that sufficient spaco be secured at the United 8tates Land Show, recently held, to give some adequate Idea of the field resources of western Canada. Thoso In chargo had splendid location, and Installed ono of the most attractive grain and grass exhibits ever seen anywhere. Thousands, anxious to get "back to the land," saw tho exhibit, aaw wheat that weighed 68 pounds to the measured bushol, oats that went 48 and barley that tipped tho scales at G5 pounds. The clover, the alfalfa, the wild pea vino and vetch, the rye grass, the red-top and many other suc culent and nutritious varieties of wild grasses demanded and deserved from their prominence and quality the at tentlon they received. Tho grain tn tho straw, bright In color, and carry ing heads that gave evldenco of the truth of tho statements of Mr. W. J. White of Ottawa, and his attendants, that tho wheat would average 28 to 85 bushels and over per acre, the oats C5 to 105 bushels, tho flax 12 to S8 bushels, wero strongly In evidence, and arranged with artistic tasto on the walls. The vegetable exhibit was a surprise to the visitors. Potatoes, turnips cabbage, In fact, all of it proved that not only in grains was western Canada prominent, but In vegetables it could succesfully com pete with the world. One of the unique and successful features of the exhibit was tho suc cessful and systematic dally distribu tion of bread made from Canadlai flour. It was a treat to thoso who got it. Canadian butter, Canadian cheese and Canadian honey helped to com plete an exhibit that revealed in a splendid way the great resources of a country In which so many Amer icans have made their home. A feature of tho exhibit was the placards, announcing the several re cent successes of Canadian farm produce and live stock, In strong com petition with exhibits from other countries. There was posted the Leager Wheeler championship prize for Marquis wheat grown at Rosthern In 1911, beating the world. Then I. HolmeB of Cardston entered, tho com petitive field at Leth'brldge Dry Farm ing Congress, and won. the wheat championship of 1912, beating Mr. Wheeler with tho same variety of wheat Hill ft Sons of Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, in 191 won the Cola rado silver trophy for best oats grown, competed for in a big competition at Columbus, Ohio, in 1911. The produce of British Columbia at tho New York Land Show in 1911 carried off tba world's championship for potatoes, and Incidentally won a $1,000 sllvei trophy, and then, but a few yeata ago, the same province carried off the world's prize for apples at the Horti cultural 8how In London, England. But that was not all. These Cana dians, who had the temerity to stati that corn was not the only feed fot finishing high-grade beef cattle, en tered for the fat steer championship at the Ltvo Stock Show in Chicago a polled Angus "Qlencarnock Victor." Nearly 800 ontrles were in the field. "Qlencarnock Victor" didn't know a kernel of corn from a Brazilian wal nut. There 'wore Iowa, Illinois, Ne braska, Kansas. Minnesota, Wiscon sin and their corn-fed article, deter mined to win, bound to beat this black animal from the north, and his "noth ing but prairie grass, oats and barley 'feed," as his owner proudly stated, but they didn't. Canada and McGregor ft Bona, with their "Qlencarnock Victor," won, and today the swelldom of Amer ica la eating of bib steaks and roasts 'the champion steer of the world. But ouco more the herd of cattle that won tho Sweepstakes at the same show was bred and owned by the owners of ."Qlencarnock Victor." fed only on prairie grass, oats and barley, near Brandon, Manitoba. The royal reception given to Mr. Mc Gregor on big return to his 'home town was well deserved. Omission must not be made of the wonderful and beautiful display of apples made by British Columbia, oc cupying a full half section of the preat Land Show. This was in per sonal charge of Mr. W. E. Scott, dep uty minister of agriculture for that province, who waB not only a host to those who visited the exhibit, but was also an encyclopedia of Informa tion regarding the resources of that country, With 200,000 Americans go ing to western Canada this year, It Is pleasing to know that so many from this side of the lino can participate In tho honors coming to that new coun try .Advertisement.

Thoy had a white rough ring around them, and grew continually worse and soon spread over Ills faco and legs. Tho child suf fered terrlblo itching and burning, so that ho could not Bleep nights. Ho scratched them and thoy looked fear ful. He was cross when ho had them; Wo used several bottles of liniment, but nothing helped.
