The number of women now employ

This is perhaps to be explained largely Ii
by the absence among women of many Iicl

automobile , indeed , has not even affected
'
ed the horse market The demand for
1 good horses all over the country is ai
j great as it was before the automobile
j came Into use , and the prices are as
high. All this Is shown by report *
i from 325 cities in the United States
! i collated and embodied ha a report to
the national convention of Master
Horseshoers In St. Paul. According to
this rep oil , the figures from' each city
show the usual normal increase ha the
use of horses and that' the demand for
them t is constant and without fluctua
tious. 1 While there is little doubt that
the perfection of a cheap and durable
storage battery , suitable for all form *
of trucking , would displace many
horses In the larger cities , greatly sim-
plifylng the problem of street cleaning ,
1i is hardly probable that this would
have an appreciable effect upon the
general 1i demand for horses , or that it
Avould \ discourage in any degree the
'l breeding of high-priced horse'flesh.
The gasoline buggy is doubtless here
to stay , but so is the horse at least
for many years to come.
All the talk about the Alaskan boun
dary and revision of the tariff system
of England and her colonies , and Ca
nadian independence and Canadian an
nexation , increases the interest of the
American people in their neighbors on
the north. And it does not take more
than half an eye to discern a marked
similarity between the development of
Ciinnda and the history of the devel
opment of 'the United States , or to
foresee a period of remarkable and
long-dniAvn-out prosperity for Great
] ii Stain's empire colony , from the rug
ged banks of Newfoundland even to
the farthest stretches of the Portland
Canal. The history of Canadian prog
ress will , for the period of a quarter
of a'century , at least , revolve about
the great transcontinental railroad that
is opening up the Western reaches ,
just as the Union Pacific opened neAV
nations to add bright stars to Colum-
bia's diadem. The extent of the immigration -
migration of the home and fortune
seekers into Western Canada can be
understood better by the statistics of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad , which
sold last year upAvard of 2,500,000
acres of laud , at an average of about
$4 an acre. Three years ago its sales
fell short of 400,000 acres , but the year
following they 'increased to nearly
1,000,000 acres , which averaged about
$3 an acre. So in three years 4,500 ,
000 good , rich acres of the West have
been taken up by individuals , AVUO
doubtless will achieve the success that
came open-handed to the early settlers
of our AYestern plains and mountains.
AYithin five years the gross receipts
of the Canadian Pacific-have almost
doubled , a slight earnest of the busi
ness that is bound to come when the
doughty pioneers begin to reap their
golden harvests.

It Is natural that the poultryman-
farmer turns to corn for fattening pur
pose , for he has more of that than of
other grains , but the man who would

to make the fowl proper for the table.
He claims , and rightfully , that the

the fat does not weigh as much as the
flesh formed by the use of other grains.

Girls Who Want Faultless Husbands.
It is very nice , and perhaps very
natural , that a girl , especially at the
romantic age of 17 or 18 , should set
her mind upon an ideal man who is
some day to win her heart and hand.
As time goes by , however , she realizes
that the perfect man , like the perfect
Avoinan , is yet to be born , and , if she
is a sensible little woman , brings her
ideal to a lower standard. She learns
to love a man who has faults , and ul
timately recognizes that the warm , lov
ing heart and generous nature Avhich
he possesses more than counterbalance
those blemishes Avhicb at one time she
would not tolerate in a member of the
opposite sex.
On one occasion a wedded wife of
about five years' standing said , refer
ring to her husband who was far
from being perfect :
"It's an extraordinary thing , but I
should not like him to be without his
faults now. I believe I IOA-O them just
as much as I do himself. " HOAV differ

Such a man AA'ouId be faultless in Hs
