In the mntter, hut wo very much doubt
If tho gallant fight or Senator Foraker

Tho nvorngo American hns little or
no conception of tho greatness of Can

vast domnlii Is n cold, barren wilder

and persons engaged In tho fur trndo.

Tho Canada of today, thoroforo,
does not materially dlffor, In nil tho
essentials of greatness, from tho
United Stntes. It does dlffor, how
ovor, In a vory Importnnt particular,
and that Is In tho superiority of Its
soil nnd cllmnto for. growth of grains.
For C000 yenrs wheat has boon tho
chief foodstuff of mankind. Mnn hns
for nil these centuries striven In vnln
for somo othor natural product and
sclenco hns endeavored without suc
cess to discover somo makeshift, but
todny as In tho centuries ngo, whent
still remains tho "stnff of life."
Canada Is tho great wheat producing
roglon of tho world. It ls no longer
an experiment; It Is n country of mag.
nlflcent yields nnd In a right district
Is a country of suro crops.
Tho II. E. Bnrnum Land Co., n plo

It Is a country of tho present. Its
agricultural possibilities hnvo been
proven for over twonty years. Tho
country whoro wo aro oporatlng has

what wo say Is absolutely truo.
Settlors aro pouring Into tho coun

from tho United States, but from the
Old Countries. Ono million acres
havo already been sold this year.
Every train going In tho West Is run
ning soveral sections. Tho homesteads
within forty or fifty miles of nn es
tablished railroad aro already taken.
It ls not a question of getting cheap
land but of getting land nt all. Tho
cllmato Is no more sevoro than that
of Minnesota. It Is ns healthy as any
climate on tho Continent. Fuel can
be obtained in abundance where wo
nro operating. There nro forests with
in a reasonable distance which supply
wood nt very low prices, and wo nro
neRr tho coal district.
As to crops, In tho canvass of twen
ty settlers In our district, tho lowest
yield of wheat wo havo found ls thirty
bushels to tho acre, and tho highest,
fifty-one bushels. Oats, barley and
flax yield as good, If not better, than
In tho verv best soil in nnv of tho
American States. One crop has paid
for many poor man's farm.
