Peculiarities Of Manitoba's Soil.


On the Canadian Pacific railway, west Of
Winnipeg, it is noticeable that all the prairie
land is free from stones. For great dista noes
along the line, one bushel Of stones could not
be gathered in fifty miles In the neighbor-
hood of Brandon the soil is gravelly. and
there are some large powders, which are
striatad in the east and west direction; these
are the only bowlders to be met with for 40
miles from Winnipeg.
The absence of earth worms and slugs is a
marked feature Of this soil When dry. it is
hard to work; during the summer it can
scarcely be plowed, when wet, it adhers so
hard to carriage wheels and boots, that it
can only be removed by being scraped off.
A very little moisture produces this state.
1t is very difficult to work in this condition,
as it can scarcely be cast Off the shovel or
the scraper; with 20 per cent. moisture it
somewhat resembles half-set mastic or glue.
The most adhesive qualities Of this soil are
termed 1gumbo" When "gumbo" dries it
bakes too hard to be plowed; on several oc
casions it was taken out with picks, in large
blocks, and laid by hand in the dump In
its worst condition of moisture it will hold
the hoofs of horses working in it and pull
their shoes off; this has occurred repeatedly,
anu Wllulll Oue uOuT Vi Iueu
set The authors kiln-dried and soaked som,
of it, and found it would absorb 72 per cenS
of moisture before becoming "slurry."
The frost penetrateS the ground to con-
siderable depth. In the excavations for the
main sewer in Winnipeg some years ago, a
layer of frozen clay, twelve inches thick,
was found eight feet below the surface in the
month Of August Tie presence of frost in
the lower layers of the subsoil is not pre-
judicial to the growth of the crop. The soil
does not heave when the frost leaves it in
spring, which is a marked difference to the
clay subsoils Of the eastern provinces.
Houses can be built on sills laid on the sur
face of the ground; foundation walls of piles
have to be carried down eight feet Frost
has beneficial effect on the earthworks
crumbling down the "gumbo" and causing i,
to fall like fine garden soil 1t also consoi
dates the embankments.

Much of the literature on the subject OF

the baths As such 1t Is Of course to Be

Dr. William A. Hammond was called
upon. In response to the ques-
ton: as the Turkish bath always beneficial

Turkish bath generally beneficial to per-
son in good health. Always is word which
never occurs in q PHYSICIANS vocabulary.
