THE Winnipeg Free Press pub
fishes crop reports from all over
Manitoba, upon which 1T bases its
belief that the province is finally
past the necessity Of looking to
importation for any portion of its
supply of cereals. The returns are
formed on a comparison of the final
average product of the province last
year, which was as follows: wheat,
323bushels; barley, 4233; oats,5l;
peas, 80; potatoes, ,229; turnips, ,6623
Much damage has been done by rains
IN the low lying districts, principally
to root crops, but in spite of this the
reports generally show an improve
ment in the yield, while much
greater area has been put under
crop. Alto sether the future of
Manitoba looks bright.

SOMEBODY h.s> s..frte,; the story
that the public lands available for
cultivation are already disposed of.
This is absurd. There are great
districts in the west that have not
been surveyed or explored even. 1t
is estimated that not more than one
fourth of the surveyed lands have
been disposed of, and the unsur-
veyed public lands in the different
States and Territories amount to
!,132, ,665,244 acres.

merly lived, for in this way you
will escape the severe climatic
changes in the weather incident to
the extreme North or South, having
none of these things to contend
with, yourself and family are healthy
and you become a producer at once,
consequently soon independent on
the other hand should you listen to
the many glowing accounts of the
sunny South, or the mild climate of
the North, and thus be induced to
try your fortunes there, you will
find the reality is not all your fancy
painted it. If you go South it
usually takes about two years to
get acclimated to the climate, du-
ring which time, not being able to
work, yourself and family are con-
sumers, besides being constantly
exposed to the malarial fevers
which abound there. and the expe-
rience OF many is they .yeturn dis
couraged, leaving not few loved
ones beneath the sod in the sunny
South. Therefore, in going West
keep on about the same latitude
which will insure health and happi-
ness. There are most excellent
lands in Northern Missouri on the
line of the Hannibal & St. 10. Il.
r., and in Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, 'sjust as cheap and good
as the sun ever shone upon," why
not accept certainty rather than
run the risk of losing all Through

SMALL MEANs.-We think that
the power of money is, on the whole,
overestimated. The greatest things
which were done for the world have
not been accomplished by rich men,
or by subscription lists, but by men
generally of small pecuniary means.
The greatest thinkers, discoverers,
inventors and artists have been
men of moderate wealth, many of
them little raised above the con-
dition of manual laborers in point of
worldly circumstances. And it will
alU ays be so. Riches are oftener
an lmpediment than a stimulus to
action and in many cases they are
quite as much misfortune as a
blessing. The youth who inherits
wealth is apt to have life made too
easy for bin, and so grows stated
with it, because he has nothing left
TO desire. Having no special OBJ
jject to struggle for, he finds time
too heavy on his hands; remains
mentally and morally asleep; aud
his position in society is often no
higher than that of a polypus over
which the tide floats.

UNIVERSAL HIsToRY.-All things
are engaged in writing their history.
The planet, the pebble, goes attend
ed by It's shadow; the rolling rock
leaves scratches on tie mountain
the river IFS cha mel iustke soil the
animal it's bones in the stratum the
fern and leaf their modest epitaph
in the coal; the falling drop makes
it's soul ptor in the sand or stone; not
foot steps into the snow or along
the ground but prints, IN characters
more or less lasting, the map of its
march; every act of the man in
scribes itselfin the memory of his
fellows and in his own manners
and face. The air is full of sounds,
the sky of tokens, the ground is all
memoranda and signatures, and
every object covered with tints
which speak to the intelligent.

Two SIDEs.-Remember that all
questions have two sides; ope is the
right side. the other the wrong side;
one is the side of justice, the other
injustice. If you take the right
side, the just side, ultimately men,
however much they may oppose
you, and revile you, will come to
your support. Earth, with all its
powers, will work with you and for
you, and heaven is pledged to con-
duct you to complete success. II
