er OPINION OF THE EDITOR OF THE| “NEBRASKA FARMER." He Expresses His Approval of Amer ican Emigration to Canada. During the winter months the head of the family consults with the other members as to the prospects for the future, and doubtless one of the most interesting topics discussed is that of moving to some district where it is possible to more easily secure what is necessary for a comfortable exist- ence, where it is an easy matter to become possessed of sufficient farm land to assure a competence for the future. This, not only interests the head of the family, but every indi- vidual member of it. Having before me the knowledge where he can secure a home with the expenditure of but little money, it is well for him to obtain all informa- tion possible regarding the product- iveness of the land in the country that he may select. For several years past a large number of Americans have removed to Western Canada, and as nearly as it can be ascer- tained almost all of these have ex- pressed themselves satisfied with the conditions that exist there. During the past summer a number of the ed- itors of farm papers throughout the United States made a personal visit on a tour of inspection and the re- ports of these gentlemen prove inter- esting reading. Mr. H. BE. Heath, ed- itor of the “Nebraska Farmer,” a paper enjoying a wide circulation as well as the confidence of its sub- scribers, after giving some idea of the extent of this wonderful country says: “Western Canada is the last un- occupied and unimproved good agri- cultural land in America available to-day.” He then discusses its possibilities for raising live stock and the advan- tages it possesses for dairying, farm- ing and wheat growing, and says, “What has been said about the coun- try as to the ability of the soil, the yield of wonderful crops of wheat, is quite justified.” To quote further from Mr. Heath, he says, referring to climate? “These people (skeptical ones) do not know or realize that altitude more than latitude makes climates; that large bodies of water, both fresh and salt, that never freeze over, ex- ert a wonderful influence on climate. Another influence on climate, more potent than those named above, which applies more to the Alberta district, is the warm Chinook breeze from the Pacific ocean, which is 600 or 700 miles nearer than Colorado or Wyoming, besides the Rocky Moun- tain range is not nearly so high nor half so far from the ocean as it is down in the States. “In further considering the climate of the Canadian prairies, we should not lose sight of the fact of the in- fluence of the rains; the total aver- age rainfall for the season is but 13.35 inches for the territories, and 17.34 inches in Manitoba, and that the amounts falling between April Ist and October 1st are respectively 9.39 inches and 12.87 inches or about three- fourths of the entire rainfall. From the middle of June to the middle of July there are over two hours more daylight in every twenty-four hours than there is in Nebraska. The main reason why Western Canada wheat grows to such perfection is the effect of solar light, or longer period of sun- shine it gets each day. This is what makes seeds or grain more perfect, grown in this country than elsewhere. This extraordinary rapid growth of vegetation under the influence of this long continued sunshine exceeds any- thing known in lower latitudes. “We do not wish it understood that wheat alone is the main product of this country; it leads in that, yet it is destined to become famous for its cat- tle, horses and sheep and for its dairy products. We saw more and larger bands of cattle and sheep grazing in Assiniboia and Alberta than we ever saw on the western plains of the United States. Orie band of cattle numbering 5,000 head were grazing on the rich grass, and sheep without num- ber.” The government of the Dominion of Canada is still using the same ener- getic efforts which have been used for the past 5 or 6 years to settle up these western prairies, and on application to any Agent of the Canadian Govern- ment the settler will be able to secure a certificate entitling him to a low rate which will give him the oppor- tunity of visiting any portion of Can- ada’s grain producing domain. It has been said that love is like the measles—all the worse when it comes late in life. PATENTS. List of Patents Issued Last Week to Northwestern Inventors.

Says Journalist Has a Noble: Mission in the World. A few days ago the pope took a styl- ographic pen from a Protestant jour- nalist’s hand and pronounced a bene- diction. He returned the pen, saying: “No one has a nobler mission than a journalist in the world of to-day. I bless your symbol of office. My pre- decessors consecrated the swords and shields of Christian warriors; I choose rather to beg blessings upon the Chris- tian journalist’s pen.”—New York Sun. Naughty Girl’s Philosophy. Former Gov. Gage of California has a little daughter of whom he is won- drously fond and of whom he never tires of talking. She is the little lady who christened the transpacific cable when the American end was laid with much ceremony in San _ Francisco. Here is one of the stories the former governor tells, but always when the subject of it is out of hearing: One day he had occasion to repri- mand her for some trivial offense, and said: “My dear, where do you think you will go when you die if you persist in being naughty?” Without a moment’s hesitation and in the most matter-of-fact way came the reply: “T don’t know, and neither do you nor any one else. It’s enough for God to know without me bothering my head about it.’—New York Press. A Little Soap Fad. There are a great many little bed- room fads in country house entertain- ing that indicate the knowledge and savoir faire of up-to-date housekeep- ing. One of these is to leave the soap that is placed in a guest’s room in its wrapper, to indicate that it has never been used. An enterprising firm of chemists has been the first to recog- nize the fashion, and is providing its customers with small, daintily wrap- ped cakes of soap for the purpose, with its perfume indicated by the flower on the cover—violet, rose ,heliotrope, etc. —Exchange. A Wonderful Discovery. Broadland, S. D., March 28.—Quite & sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray, who, after a special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die with Bright’s Disease. Bright’s Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the story told by Mr. Gray, there is a remedy which will cure it even in the most advanced stages. This is what he says: “TI was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright’s Disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted that I should try Dodd’s Kidney ‘Pills. I praise God for the day when I decided to do so for this remedy met every phase of my case and in a short time I was able to get out of bed» and after a few weeks’ treatment I was a strong, well man. Dodd’s Kidney Fills saved my life.” A remedy that will cure Bright’s Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are cer- tainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world. The Oldest Marriage Proposal. The oldest marriage proposal of which there is any definite record is 3,425 years old. This remarkable an- cient record, which is in the Oriental department of the British museum, is a small clay tablet, measuring eight inches by four inches, and contains about ninety-eight lines of very fine cuneiform writing. It is made of Nile mud, and bears upon the marriage proposal of a pharaoh for the hand of the daughter of the king of Babylon. It is a duplicate of a letter written about 1530 B. C.

ARMED ‘ndian Found Bear Susceptible to the Powers of Argument. “The most interesting story I ever heard came from the lips of old ‘Buck- skin Charley,’ chief of the Southern Utes,” said J. P. Altberger of Philadel- phia. ’ “As told by a white man the narra- tive is tame, indeed; lacking the dra- matic action and eloquence of the red warrior. It was about a meeting with a big grizzly bear in the mountains of Colorado. Charley was out looking for deer. He was equipped with an old-fashioned, single-barrel, muzzle~ loading rifle, which put him at a ter- rible disadvantage, when he was sud- denly confronted by one of the big- est specimens of the grizzly he ever saw. “I jumped behind big tree very quick,’ he said, ‘and Mr. Bear came close, rearing up on his hind legs. I was scared to sLoot, only having one barrel, Then I commenced to talk. 1 said: ‘Mr. Bear, I am your friend. I come out after deer. I hope you go away and so I kill deer and leave big piece of meat for you.’ Then the bear seemed to get friendly and he dropped on his legs to the ground, much as to say he’d like a piece of deer, and then he run off into the mountains.”— Washington Post. GRASS TO HOLD CANAL BANKS. Experiments Made by the Engineers in Charce of Ditch at Suez. It has been discovered by the engi- neers who are occupied with the main- tenance of the Suez canal that the best of all methods of protecting the banks H Everyt iy i from crumbling and decay is provided by the natural growth of reeds which fringe the channel for some distance below Ismailia on the African side, and some rather interesting attempts have been lately made to plant new beds in other parts of the canal. It is stated that the local species of reed with which the experiment has been so far made will not live in salt or very brackish water in the early stages of its growth, though it will bear transplanting later, and that at present the serviceableness of the nat- ural means of protection is conse- quently limited. Where the water is sufficiently free from brine, however, the network of roots is found to put a facing on the loose soil of the banks more success- ful and permanent than a wall of brick or stone, and it would probably not be difficult to discover and estab- lish some coarse sedge or other plant of the sea_marshes.—Country Life. AT HOME ON THE SCAFFOLD. Bashful Contractor Not Fitted for Public Speaking Gives Odd Excuse. Elmer E. Johnston, executive com- misioner of the Washington World’s fair exhibit is attracting a great deal of favorable attention in St. Louis. Recently Mr. Johnston gave the St. Louis people some strong advice against extortion, and the other day he told a reporter a little story. “Seeing all these buildings up,” he said, “reminds me of a hospital dedi- cation that I attended last October. We had the builder of the hospital there and we called on him to make a spech. He was a big, ruddy chap, timid and embarrassed. He got up, bowed awkwardly and began: “Ladies and gentlemen, I guess 1 am better fitted for the scaffold than for public speaking.” Overstepping the Limit. When Meredith P. Gentry was de feated for the governorship of Ten- nessee by Andrew Johnson, afterward president, he was much _ chagrined, principally, he said, because he “had been run over by that great calf,” as he contemptuously designated John- son. Gentry’s melancholy over the re- sult of the election increased as time passcd and he went into a decline. So some of his friends visited him in order to cheer him up and, as was the custom in those days, emptied several demijohns of whisky during the evening. It was very late before they thought of retiring and then Gen- try announced that, as there was a clergyman present (Parson Brown- low), he would request him to offer up a prayer before the company went to bed. Brother Brownlow, whose spe- cialty was exhortation, began to pray. He included everything in his peti- tion and at last said: “and O Lord, if in thy infinite mercy it be possible, have mercy also upon Andrew John- son.” Gentry was on his feet in an instant. “Stop, Mr. Brownlow, stop!” he exclaimed. “You will exhaust the fount of infinite mercy.” Lack of Cuss Words in Japan.

Many Women During the Spring Months Suffer From Extreme Lassitude, Loss of Appetite and Nervousness— What They Need Is e-ru-na, the Great [| onic. Miss Bertha M. Rush, 5435 Kincarde street, Pittsburg, Pa., Superintendent Junior Society of Methodist Protestant Church and leading Soprano of the choir, writes: “Words cannot describe my thankfulness to you for Peruna. I was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was in a very much run- down condition. I was extremely ner- vous and had the most foolish fears over nothing. I was thin and ema- ciated. “My physician advised me to leave this climate, but as it was not con- venient to do so at this time, I took the advice of a friend to use a bottle of Peruna. I took it faithfully and when the first bottle was gone I felt 80 much better that I bought six more and took them faithfully, after which T looked like a new woman. “I gained in flesh, my appetite re- turned and all my old symptoms had disappeared. I am more than thank- ful to Peruna.”—Miss Bertha M. Rush. 1 AM TIRED. Tired — Spring Weather Does It—Every One Should Be Cautious. Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause. General lassitude, dull, heavy sensa- tions, continual tired feeling, with ir- regular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets eyery indica- tion and proves itself to be perfectly adapted. to all their varied peculiari- ties. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep. That tired feeling which is the nat- ural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are dauy testifying to its priceless benefit. Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1309 West 13th street, Des Moines, Ia., writes: “I am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine, Peruna, as I consider it a valuable medicine to take when the system is run down from overwork. About two years: ago I felt that I must take a long rest as I had been unable to work for over a month and could not regain my strength. I could not sleep at night and was in a very nervous, high strung, condition. I decided to try what Peruna would do to build up my strength, and am pleased to say that I began to improve very shortly, and in less than two months I was able to take up my work, and felt better than I have for years. I take it now twice a year and find that it keeps me in_ perfect health.” Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the manager of a plant fur- nishing ladies’ Wear and employing hundreds of women. Miss Rush Suffered with Tired, Nervous Women. There are thousands of them every- where. A few bottles of Peruna would do them untold benefit. As a tonic and nerve invigorator it has no equal. It builds up the nerves, it gives strength to the circulation and at once restores the appetite and diges- tion. No feeble woman should be without Peruna. MISS BERTHA M.
