HOW BIG CANADA IS A Swedish journalist, Mr A. Ebling, has been travelling a good deal in America, and is evidently greatly im- pressed with the greatness of Canada, and its resources and climate. In quaint language he makes comparison of Canada and other countries in his paper, the Linkoping Ostgoten, from which the following is taken:— I have travelled for two months in Canada and United States. During this journey I have four 'times gone over the New World between the great seas and the Pacific ocean. Several times I have travelled from north to south over big parts of America. I have been reading hundreds of pam- phlets about several sial es, and I have been cou]paring their statements with actual circumstances. I have gone over plains and through woods, big as empires in Europe; over mountains"• with eternal snow and through valleys of eternal meaner. I have been in in- habited land like the paradise and in uninhabited like th;i desert. I have heard the discussions of the Parlia- ment in one pl ice and talked with the Prime Minister in another state. I have tined to leaders of political par- ties, to many of the highest authori- ties in the States and to hundreds of citizens. In the United States there is more than 500,C3,000 of acres of free land, that is a truth; but the most of it is Iike a desert. So is it with Dakota, Montana. Idaho and the eastern part of Washington, and many states south from there are of the same character. You can travel a half a day without seeing a house. The grass is thin and dry, in many places you cannot find any grass at all, only steep angular piles of earth and sand. Not even close to the streams can you find any growth. Taking a train going north we come to Canada. It is a beautiful name and beautiful land. The bad parts of the west in the United States are brown, Canada is green. The first part we see of this land is a meadaw, level as a "- floor, iifinitedS` the Ocean', • and wear- ing a billowing dress of grass and flow- ers. After this we pass other mammoth meadows, and if the grass there is not as high and green, the land anyway is much better than the deserts in the neighboring repnblic. These mammoth meadows are the prairies. The real prairies you will find in Canada. Innumerable paths treaded by the buffalo, extend over those plains. Finelis the prairie andgreen andvery often cultivable, but more beautiful and more suitable for cultivation are t small meadows, separated from e other by streams and groves. These small prairies . occupy an even bigger part of Canada than the great prairies. But if the reader shall be able to understand any about Canada, he first must know how great Canada is. If we have Canada on this side, how much do we need on the other side to get it balancing? We first take our own country, with its land and water, its mountains and woods. Very ex- tensive is our country, but against Canada it is nothing. Then we take the whole of Scandinavia,Norway,Den- mark, Finland and Iceland, but our balance is yet in the air. We add England, Ireland and Scotland, but without result: The English islands could swim in the waters of Canada, and it should yet be water left around them. We take three more kingdoms and republic, viz., Holland,Belgium,Greece and Schweis. Ye;, we lack much. We add the Balkan states,Servia,Bulgaria, and Roumania, and with these we join Turkey, but though we now have a dozen states on the European side, Canada is still more. We have to enlarge our side with the great powers on the Continent of Europe. We take all the kingdoms in the Empire of Germany, we take the Kingdom of Titaifa, the Empire Austria-Hungary, and the Republic of France, and yet Canada is more than all the other countries together. And now perhaps the reader might begin to suspect how big Canada really is. We have forgotten Portugal and Spain, but it makes no difference. Howpmuch more do we really need? Just as much as we already have. Just as many kingdoms and empires and republics. But 'Russia is left and is great enough to fill up the rest. Canada is, in short, as big as our whole world Europe. Then we have another question, in .reality of more importance, viz.: How big a part of Canada could people live in? . Nobody can give an exact answer. A large part of Canada is yet unex- plored, but you can be sure that the cultivable part of European states to- gether, except Russia; just as big as the European homes for 225,000,000 of men. And how many people are now in Canada? Canada is still nearly un - peopled. Just as unpeopled as the whole of Europe would be if only the Swedes lived on their peninsula and the rest of Europe had no people at all, because now the whole of Canada haslnot more people than Sweden. 'tut, you ask, how do peoplevlive there? Is it not true what some pa- pers said recently, that Canada is a bad country and nothing else? Canada can produce bread for the "whole of Europe, that is what the Prre�tnier of Manitoba, Mr Greenway, "'441:1 m , The secretary of the state of Minnesota, said to me: "Iwill not deny that it is just as good land in Canada as it is here." Another au- thority (either the president of the , Northern Pacific Railroad company or j the United States. Consul in Winni- peg) he said, according to a pamphlet, that three-quarters of the fertile American wheat belt is within the boundaries of Canada, The Premier of Manitoba might be right. Nobody can think of how im- mense and rich the cultivable land in Janada is. There you can, get a field of grain big as half a hundred such kingdoms as Denmark. Every foot of this land can be cul- tivated Its fertility is incredible. Pining thousands of years the remains of plants and animals and prairie fires are here buried 'together, and the re- sult is a black 'mold from one to many feet deep. You can take harvests for twenty years without fertilizing. You can plough this soil immediately. Not a stone, not a stump stands an obstacle in the -way of the plough. The soil is rich—and the same im- mense riches is in the woods, in the mountains, in the waters, in the coal fleld. But how is it with the climate? I travelled . in Canada during the weeks of August and September, and I was in a permanent entnusiasm about the air. The days were warm but not hot. During many nights I slept,in a half open tent. The summer in Can- ada is fine, the winter is cold, but pleasant. People from Sweden said they did not feel the cold more than at home,even though the thermometer showed some more degrees. The rea- son is the dryness of the air. ° MANY A YOUNG MAN.

SHOULD THE COLLEGE FARM BE MADE TO PAY? During the recent session of the Legisla- ture one of the criticisms against .the De- partment of Agriculture was that the Min- ister had been unable to show that the Agricultural College farm had been so con- ducted as to afford a profit in its transac- tions. To this criticism Mr Dryden replied in substance as follows: His first answer was that, under existing circumstances .in this count"y, it is difficult . to make any farm pay any considerable profit. Second, that so long as the farm proper s conducted in connection with the College as a part of an educational institution, it would be utterly impossible to make it pay in dollars and cents. The institution was not organ- ized for that purpose. Mr Dryden truly stated that if he desired a result only in dollars and cents,he wouldnotemploy afarm superintendent, at a cost of $1,200 per annum, with sufficient experience and edu- cational ability to give instruction to the students; neither would he employ . an engineer, part of whose duty is also to give instruction in the management of a farm engine, at say $500; nor would it be neces- sary to employ an expert herdsman at a similar sum; nor would he spend from three to five hundred dollars annually in advertising, etc., in connection with the sale of surplus stook, which might be dis- posed of to better advantage in the ordinary way; -nor wold he' keep; at coneiderab1e' expense, 23 male animals representing 23 different breeds of cattle, sheep and swine, when one, two or three, es the oasemight be, would answer the purposes of the ordi- nary farmer; nor would he set apart, forty or fifty acres purely for experimental pur- poses, bringing no profit whatever, but en- tailing a considerable amount of labor in addition to what would otherwise be ex- pended on the same area. If the question be asked, why, then, are these things done in connection with the College Farm? the answer is already stated —that it is conducted for educational pur- poses alone, and so long as that is the case, just so long will it be impossible to show satisfactory results in dollars and cents. No doubt if the items mentioned were tak- en out and charged, as they have been on former occasions, to education, the farm as at present conducted would show a bal- ance on the right side. No person offering criticism has yet ventured to say that any individual or particular expense could be dispensed with. Mr Dryden's first aim, as be stated in the House, is educational ef- ficiency. That efficiency, as he asserts, should be secured at as low a cost as pos- sible, and he further states without fear of contradiction that the wages given are as low as the sevices required can be ob- tained for. BEWARE OF FRAUDS TIIE UNFAILING SUCCESS OF DODD's KIDNEY PILLS INDUCES FRADULENT IMITATORS TO ATTEMPT TO PASS WORTHLESS REM EDIES ON THE .PUPLIO. TORONTO, May—This appears to be an age of fakes and frauds. It seems imposs- ible for any new idea or valuable invention to to made known without a host of imita- tors trying to foist their worthless goods on an unsuspecting public in the hope of making an unmerited profit out of their worthless ideas. The unequalled success of Dodd's Kidney Pills in caring all forms of kidney disease, has led to the introduc- tion ofmany cheap and base imitations that are worse than valueless. Dodd's was the first kidney remedy ever offered in pill form. For their own safety, purchasers should bay none but Dodd's Kidney Pills.
