DEVELOPMENT OF
- CENTRAL CANADA
.THE STORY OF BIO YIELDS OF
GRAIN COMES FROM EVERY
v SECTION.
- When the man la the States iu
'-told that he could get 160 acres of
land In Central Canada comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saikatche--waa
and Alberta that under cultiva
tion would produce from 20 to SO bush--ls
of if heat to the acre, or If aeeded
to oata the yield would be 40 to 60
bushels, he was akeptlcaL The aame
story waa told the man who wished to
.get nearer to existing lines, of rail
way, and waa only asked to pay $10
to f 13 an acre. But many tried It,
.some one plan and some another. The
man who accepted the 160 acres aa a
free gift, aa a homestead, and waa
willing to put In the required resi
dence duties of three years baa now
:a farm worth from fifteen to twenty
dollars an acre. The man who chose
to purchase, and did so, took up his
residence Just the same. He haa land,
that. In many cases, is worth twice
the money he paid for it Doth bare
found that the story of splendid yields
was verified. They hare had crops
exceeding that promised; they have
seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to
the acre, and hate grown wheat that
averaged 40 and aa high as 50 bushels
to the acre. Their wheat was not a
7 lb. to the bushel article but 62 and
63 lbs. They have seen within the
past year or two trunk lines of rail'
way constructed through their district.
and throwing out branch lines to the
g-ates of their farm. They hare seen
schools established in their neigh
' bourhood and the Government con
. tributlng largely to their expense.
. Churches have been erected, villages
have been established, towns have
sprung into existence and cities are
rapidly springing up, as if the magic
hand of some unseen conjurer was at
work. But it was not; it was the le
gitimate offering of the wealth of the
field which made all these things come
about, naturally, and easy. The prai
rie that three years ago was merely
prairie, a patch of brown, Just waiting
for the ploughman, is to-day dotted
with tilled farms and splendid homes.
The line of elevators with their glis
tening metalled fireproof sides and
roofs, indicate the location of the
town and the railroad. There Is the
glow of newness about it all, but the
elevator, the splendid store buildings
and the comfortable hostelries denote
wealth, beyond that of the strength
of the man who fashioned and built
them but the wealth of the soil, which
means that the newness will be fol
lowed by a steady growth. The writer
recently waa a passenger over the
Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest fac
tor in this great marvelous field of
development. The rapidity with which
towns were being built up, the farm'
steads occupied, was something even
his experienced eye had not looked
for. Everywhere along the line of
this new transcontinental was the die-
tlnguishlng mark of progress. There
was not a mile of the length of the
road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and
west that did not bear token of its
ability to pay tribute to the revenue
of the road. Mention is made of this
line, not because it is the last In
the field, but because it la one of the
best built roads on the Continent and
traverses one of the best districts
of an excellent country. It is well
operated, and already has gone into
active, service as another means of
making it possible to secure more
speedily transit from the grain fields
to the shipping centres.. It had been
the intention in this article to have
spoken of some of the yields of grain
that have made the farmers of Cen
tral Canada contented this year, but
space will not permit, so that delight
ful task will be taken up in another
issue. In the meantime it would be
well for the reader, if he is interest
ed, to put himself in touch with some
official of the Canadian Government
and get information that might be use
' ful in making a selection for a home
1 in Central Canada, and become one
of those who will be instrumental in
building up a great country to the
north. In doing so, you will be as
sisting the United States. In a few
years' time the United States will be
a wheat importer. Canada will sup
: ' ply the wheat and you will he one of
, the producers.
Ready with Explanation.
. A rector of Eltham once gave out
- the words: "Who art thou?" and, as
he paused for a moment, an officer in
uniform, who had just entered the
church, suddenly halted, and taking
. the question as personal, promptly re
plied: "Sir, I am the recuiting officer
of the Sixteenth Foot, and, having my
, wife and daughter with me, should be
- glad to .make the acquaintance of the
clergy and gentry of the neighbor-
- hood."

Said Mr. A to Mr. A. on Dtc.
To-morrow another year begins. To-night is the time of all
times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices;
to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have j;ou, John, considered what
to-night means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things
I have gone without and might have had but for your extravagance?
Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, of your so-called pleas
ures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of
the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to say no,
Let's talk it over, John, just you
for better and more noble things in
Said Mr. A. to Mrs. A on Dec.
Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my
approval. We will plan to-night for the year that is to come. Yes,
not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems
that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many
little things we might improve upon. So -many better ways in which
to spend the small sums we now but throw away. The price of that
novel you are reading would have
need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are
but vile weeds, and you your novels,
of trash and twaddle.
Said Mr. A to Mr. A on Dtc.
With all the many vices with
that you might overlook the one
admit there are more elevating books than present-day novels. But
am I to give up my only pleasure, the one small thing from which I
get my wee mite of enjoyment?
of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do
not need ? Your vices are so great beside my small one. If you really
mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up
your club? It is but another of
you incur year after year.
Said Mr. A 1o Mr. A on Dec.
That's right, and I'm glad you
of it before. That will be money
and it's fair. My resignation1 from
will join me in the good wurk and mail to-night your withdrawal from
the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it. A good deed
is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds
accomplished, two savings made,
dear; will you join me in turning
ot a . new year? 1 he question is
course, that you will.
Said Mr. A to Mr. A on Dec.
You certainly can be horrid
when you should look back upon the things which you have needlessly
robbed me of during the year just closing. I should think you would
be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though
they were vices from which I should escape. There is certainly little
enough in lite lor me without being deprived of books and socia
intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent
pleasures wilfput a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer
them on the altar of noble and obedient wifehood. But, oh, John,
did not think you would ask it. (Tears.)
Said Mr. A to Mr. A on Jee.
Now, wife, dont cry. I am a brute and. I admit it. Let's start
anew and talk this over. Let's sec if we have sinned against ourselves
or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are not mere pleasures to
which we are entitled. I think they are. I see nothing we need repent
of; nothing to-swear oft. Ill keep
