Canada 
where Dairy Farmers prospei 
Western Canada, blessed with low- 
priced fertile land, a favorable 
climate and an abundance of pure 
water offers remarkable opportunites 
to experienced dairy farmers. 
The rich fertile soil on which nutri¬ 
tious grasses and feed of all kinds 
grow profusely, can be purchased at 
an average of $20 an acre—with free 
use of the land for a year and then 
35 years to pay. The yearly payment 
on an average 160-acre farm is only 
$195.30. Think of it. 
Cash is paid for all dairy products, most 
of which are used in the nearby cities. Since 
1900 the value of Canada’s dairy industry 
has increased $164,000,000. Last year alone 
Canadian dairy farmers put $54,308,334.04 
in their pockets. 
Come to Canada where you can put your 
profits in your pocket, where land prices are 
low and feed is cheap, where you can double 
or treble your acreage with the same invest¬ 
ment. Both irrigated and non-irrigated lands 
are available. Investigate now. Send the

Ninety Nights Around the 
Camp Fire 
To those farm folks who have the time, 
the location and the inclination to cater 
to Summer tourists, let me suggest that 
they open on “over-night camp.” So 
much can be written on this subject it 
is almost impossible to enumerate all the 
helpful points in a brief article. Per¬ 
haps the most important point is a good 
location. To be successful it should be 
on a main highway, and at a point where 
there is much travel at the end of the 
day. By way of illustration, let us sup¬ 
pose that you live about a day’s journey 
by auto from Niagara Falls or from New 
York City or Lake Placid; in other words 
between 175 and 190 miles from some 
point of interest. If you are only 40 
or 50 miles the best you can hope for is 
to be' a “half-way” house;” therefore you 
could not expect to have many over¬ 
night guests. There may be money made 
by serving regular meals to tourists. But 
if your location is not an extra good one 
you will find this very uncertain and not 
at all satisfactory because you must be 
always prepared whether tourists stop 
or not. It is true there are many free 
camps along the highways at the pres¬ 
ent time and it is possible there always 
will be a few, but it is safe to say that 
the day of the free camp ground is pass¬ 
ing very rapidly. 
Now if you live in a good location, the 
next thing is to consider; Is it suitable, 
is it pleasant? Have you a wood-lot 
near your home, or a stream , or lake? 
Y^our home may be very attractive with¬ 
out any of these, but if at hand you will 
find them quite an attraction and such 
sites will be preferred by campers. In 
these days of auto travel it is amazing 
how many tourists prefer to carry their 
own tent and camping equipment, and 
how very 1 eager they are to hear of good 
camp sites in convenient places. About 
three years ago it looked as if the public j 
camp sites provided by the State and va¬ 
rious cities along the way would take j 
care of all the tourists inclined to go ’ 
“a-gypsying” as some of them call camp- I 
ing in the open. If there were not enough 
there were always country school yards. 
But the camping at schoolhouses wore j 
out its welcome in one or two seasons at I 
most, and at present if they are not 
fenced in, locked up, or posted with “no ; 
trespass” signs, it is because the site is 
so undesirable that no one would be apt 
to stop there anyway. 
In our locality during 1921 and 1922 
it was a common thing to find school- 
house doors unlocked. We were told it j 
was for the convenience of campers who 
might pitch their tents in the yard and 
be overtaken by a sudden Summer storm. 
There was a stove and wood always at 
hand; they might make a fire to dry their 
clothing if necessary. But one season 
of such hospitality was more than enough 
for many of these rural schools. Then 
for a season free camps sprang up like 
mushrooms at nearly every good-looking 
farmhouse. We wondered why so many 
farmers took the trouble to put up ar¬ 
rows four or five miles from their farms 
directing tourists where to find a free 
camping place. Then we learned that, 
in a way, it would be an advantage be¬ 
cause tourists who camped with them 
would buy vegetables, fresh eggs, fruit, 
etc., thereby providing a market they 
would not have otherwise. One season 
of this kind of hospitality was enough 
to make most of these people give up in 
disgust, but those who did continue with 
tourist camps took their little paint pots 
down the road and painted out the word 
“free” from all their signs. So now we 
get back to the subject where we started. 
To those farm folks who have the time, 
the location and the inclination to cater 
to Summer tourists, let me suggest that 
they open an overnight camp. It may 
be argued that these camps are already 
overdone. We will answer yes, they are. 
But such as they are going to be, there 
always will be room and patronage for 
tourist camps of the right sort. 
Now a word about the financial part 
which is of course very important. If 
you have the right sort of a camping 
ground, tourists will be glad to pay $1 
for the space and privilege of driving in 
and pitching a tent for the night. If 
you have space and location for from 
six to ten cars you can readily see it 
will be a better paying proposition than 
cooking for Summer boarders because 
campers do their own cooking and wait 
on themselves generally. If you have 
honey, fresh eggs, milk and vegetables 
you may often make sales, but do not 
count too much on this because campers 
usually stock up at markets when they 
can. because they have been refused or 
disappointed so often at camps and farm¬ 
houses. Not because farmers or camp 
owners would not sell to them, but be¬ 
cause they were all sold out when the 
campers arrived. a camping fan. 
Cleaning Furnace Pipe 
Our furnace pipe was filled with creo¬ 
sote, and we did not know how to get it 
out. I thought of a plan when I took it 
down to clean it. I took three lengths of 
pipe at once, lighted some paper, and let 
the fire draw up the pipe. It burned out 
clean ; the ashes fell out and did not hurt 
the pipe; just colored it some. I think it 
is much better than having it burn out 
when the pipe is up. We had our burn 
out once. Not a very pleasant time.
